After months of traveling and training, he decided to become an adventurer. The world was vast, filled with dungeons, monsters, and legendary treasures. If he wanted to regain his lost strength, he needed resources, experience, and challenges.
Registering as a mere F-rank, he began taking on simple quests—hunting weak monsters, gathering materials, and escorting merchants. But with his Unique Skills, he rose through the ranks at an unprecedented speed.
[Crafter] allowed him to modify and forge superior weapons, gaining fame among blacksmiths.
[Predator] enabled him to devour monsters, absorbing their abilities and enhancing his combat power.
[Great Sage] provided unmatched intelligence, allowing him to predict enemy movements, strategize instantly, and optimize his battle style.He also had gained physical enhancement , weapon master and some common skills from defeating monster's , all of which are governed by the Great Sage.
Within a year, he had ascended to S-Rank, standing among the strongest adventurers in the world.
But with this rapid growth came another evolution—his skills, much like himself, were transforming into something even greater.
Skill Evolution – Predator Becomes [Gluttony]
One fateful battle against an Abyss Behemoth, his Predator skill underwent a dramatic change.
A surge of hunger—a void that could never be filled—overwhelmed him as his body instinctively devoured the beast, absorbing not just its power but its very existence.
A new announcement rang in his mind:
"Unique Skill [Predator] has evolved into Unique Skill [Gluttony]."

Skill Fusion – Merges compatible abilities into superior versions, creating entirely new powers.
Hunger of the Abyss – The more he consumes, the more powerful he becomes, but if left unsatisfied, the hunger grows unstable.
Skill Evolution – Great Sage Becomes [Wise One]
Not long after, during a battle against an ancient dragon, he pushed [Great Sage] beyond its limits, processing millions of calculations in mere moments.
The voice in his mind changed—becoming clearer, more sentient.
"Unique Skill [Great Sage] has evolved into Unique Skill [Wise One]."

The New S-Rank Adventurer
With these new powers, his strength had surpassed even the strongest mortals.
He crafted weapons and armor that rivaled the works of gods.He devoured enemies, gaining their knowledge and abilities.He calculated battles before they even started, rendering most opponents helpless.
But despite his overwhelming growth, one thought still burned in his mind.
This isn't enough.
Even as an S-Rank Adventurer, even with legendary skills—he still hadn't regained his full power.
His journey was far from over.
