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?

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

Althea scoffed weakly, spewing out blood, and reached to grab his shirt. "My mother will come for you, Ryuen, mark my..."

Her words ceased when a sword was stabbed into her skull, shutting her up completely.

Ryuen simply sighed and rose to his feet, then turned to face the terrified army.

"Everyone seems shocked. I wonder why."

Yuta and Kenta were the most surprised. They had stopped moving a while ago, ensuring they were actually seeing him and not someone else.

Not that they weren't glad—just shocked.

Aika's hands trembled. Her anger rose despite being frozen halfway. She wanted to kill him so badly, but she couldn't move.

Ryuen smirked, unfazed by her rage. "What's wrong, Aika? You look like you've seen a ghost."

His eyes flicked toward Erina and back to Aika, a slow grin stretching across his face.
