“Look, I don’t need to be the strongest — I just need to be slightly stronger than the guy trying to kill me.”

Zayn Eldrake was nothing more than a nameless extra in the grand tale of summoned heroes — a disposable swordsman in the legendary Hero of Light’s party, fated to die in an early battle against the monsters of the Apocalypse. 
But when he awakens in this doomed body with memories of his past life, he refuses to meet the same pathetic end.
He knows the story. He knows the heroes. He knows their strengths, their weaknesses… and most importantly, their women.
With the power of [Devourer’s Pact], Zayn can consume the abilities of those he defeats, transforming himself into something far greater than a mere extra. 
Strength, magic, divine blessings — everything in this world is his for the taking. And if fate itself stands in his way? He’ll devour that too.

He coughed, his face red with a mixture of humiliation and exertion, before slowly rising back to his feet.

Tobias merely turned back to the receptionist, as if nothing had happened. "Assign us the quest."

She blinked, visibly shaken, but quickly nodded.

"Y-Yes, of course, Sir Hero." She fumbled with the papers on the desk, nearly dropping them in her haste.

The adventurers who had been watching whispered among themselves. Some of them looked impressed. Others looked wary.

\The scarred adventurer clenched his jaw, his pride wounded.
