“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.

Zayn let out a long sigh, sinking into the warm water one last time before finally forcing himself to move.

The bath had done its job — his muscles no longer ached, and the heat had melted away the worst of his exhaustion.

But he had to admit, if one more person walked into his room unannounced, he might just start throwing hands.

With another sigh, he pushed himself up, water cascading down his skin as he reached for the towel nearby.

He grabbed it and ran it over his arms, across his chest, and down to his legs, drying himself off with slow, lazy movements.

The warmth of the bath still clung to him, but the chill of the air was already creeping in.

His mind drifted back to the half-elf and her unexpected visit.

'She really didn't hold back, huh?'

He shook his head, tossing the towel over his shoulders as he walked toward the small wooden closet near his bed.
