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.

Ryuen shifted back slightly, just enough to put a little gap between them. He watched as her eyes glowed faintly before returning to normal.

But he simply sighed. "It would be an honor working with you, Hwa."

She smiled in response, visibly pleased that he at least accepted her and did not treat her like he disliked her.

Although she could tell he didn't, from the slight irritation in his eyes and how he moved away from her.

That gesture of his somehow didn't get her annoyed.

Instead, it intrigued her—even more than Daiki had—and she actually liked Daiki more.

But considering Ryuen's calm demeanor, which masked the silently bubbling rage beneath, his assassin-like build, and his mind, she could agree to put both of them on the same scale.

Ryuen shifted his gaze from Hwa to Yurei, who just stared at him blankly, like he was doing something wrong.
