Skill Absorption

Three men and two women are caught up in a quarrel between a god and goddess. One of the men caught up in this—Kuhōin Shū, who had killed someone in the past and was viewed coldly by those around him—receives the skill "Skill Absorption," which allows him to steal skills from monsters and people, along with many other skills from the god. He is then transported to the otherworld of Iris, where he begins his second life. (Synopsis revised January 23rd) ※This work progresses in a light and brisk manner.
