DING! 

[Ist Skill Devour Successful]
______
"They say a man's skills are honed over a lifetime, but what if he could devour them all in an instant?"

Ryuen Takeru, a skilled, retired assassin, decides to pursue a better job that would keep him away from the dark life he once led.

However, after a while, that peace was shattered when an unexpected train ride derailed reality itself, throwing him into a world and a life he had always hated.

A world teetering on the brink of ruin, destroyed by an apocalypse as a result of the unending war between multiple races.

Unfortunately, the post-apocalypse had already begun.

Ryuen finds himself captured, exchanged, and made to serve kings of different nations.

Yet fate had more in store for him.

A devastating twist, capable of destroying or elevating him—the one thing he had overlooked as normal until the moment he was informed.

A curse.

Possible reincarnation?

[Skill Devourer Activated: Plunder, Consume, Adapt, Evolve.]

Nevertheless, for everything given, something must be taken—or perhaps sacrificed.

Infinite Skill Devourer

Jun let out a strained chuckle. "What crystal?"

"The one I stole from the queen for you," she replied flatly and reached for another pen. "Don't tell me you forgot about that too."

"I have made use of it, and besides, that was years—"

This one sank into his shoulder, now getting a hiss out of him.

"You're running out of limbs," she said ever so sweetly, with a smile on her lips that didn't seem to reach her eyes.

Jun's breathing was ragged now, his body trembling as pain moved through him like blood.

Ryuen, who was done searching, finally turned his attention back to Jun and Yurei. "I have a better question."

Ryuen crouched down, meeting his gaze, then he smiled.

"How long have you planned to kill me?"

This one lodged itself between Jun's ribs, sending another wave of pain through his body.
