Apocalypse Online: Starting with an SSS-level Gluttony Talent

In humanity’s final war against the Demon Lord, the strongest heroes fell—not by the enemy’s hand, but by their own, twisted into madness by a cruel illusion. Betrayal. Bloodshed. Despair… and then, silence. Only one person remained: Riley—the weakest warrior of them all. Powerless. Ignored. Forgotten. But he saw through the Demon Lord’s deception. The tyrant was on the brink of death—so weak even a fly could’ve finished him off. And Riley did just that, drawing every last ounce of strength to bite off the demon’s head. Victory? Not quite. A final, desperate strike from the Demon Lord pierced him from behind, killing him instantly. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. Riley awoke ten years in the past—when the online game [Apocalypse] was launched. Before demons descended. Before monsters overran the world. And this time, he wasn’t starting from nothing. He had a decade of experience—and a second chance. Even more shocking, he didn’t awaken his old D-rank Strength Boost talent. This time, he received something far more terrifying: an SSS-level Gluttony talent! He could now devour anything—monsters, items, talents, even traits—and gain their power. Ding! [You have devoured: Iron Fang Wolf] [Acquired: +4 Strength, +2 Agility, Skill: Bite (F-rank)] [You have devoured: Goblin Shaman Acquired: +8 Intelligence, Skill: Mana Bolt (E-rank), Talent: Minor Spellcasting Efficiency] [You have devoured: Flaming Salamander Drake] [Acquired: +22 Endurance, Trait: Dragon’s Resilience, Skill: Flame Breath (C-rank)] Now, there was no demon, no god, no monster who would stand in his way. He would devour everything—and save the world. But the power of Gluttony was a double edged sword, and if he wasn’t careful… he could be the one getting consumed.
