Alone. Surrounded by monsters. Time to fight his way up the food chain.

In the aftermath of an unprecedented magical disaster, Edge wakes up in a monster-infested wilderness, standing on the bottom of the food chain. But he won’t be there for long.

After finding a unique core known as Skill-Eater, Edge gains the power to steal the skills of monsters, men, and beasts, and a chance to battle his way up to the top.

It seems that his luck has finally changed, although he will soon learn that power never comes without a price.

Experience an action packed LitRPG adventure set in a world where artifacts known as Cores let their bearers wield the planet’s magic, and where Skills grant superhuman abilities and kaiju roam the wilds. It's perfect for fans of Solo Leveling, The Primal Hunter, and 1% Lifesteal!

I hate relationships in the 1st book

why, does mc always find woman in the 1st book.. its more important for mc to grow.. most mc lack focus.. also narrator is good but slow.. also so much filler internal thoughts.

So much fun! give it a chance

Loved the lore of the world and tbe general writing. Nice power scaling system. Cant wait for book 2

slow narrator, Great story

wonderful book but had to listen at 1.5 speed for it to sound normal since the narrator spoke so slowly. other than that it was still a great performance.

solid system and plot

While the start was a little rough, I was hooked within an hour or so. Decently strong characters (especially for the genre), and generally a plot that makes sense and keeps the pace up. Loved the new system, great flavor beyond 'level up.'

not bad

Over all i liked the book, action was good, lots of slice of life. Good character development. The magic and skill were kinda weird. Very little was said on how they normally worked, For example, MC slotting/eating a rare skill cost him 2 mortium and 24 hours for the skill to be ready. An epic skill cost a whooping 10 mortium and 20 days?!??!?! that's ludicrous. Mortium is so hard to get, i was really looking forward to what he could purchase in the special shop with it. So if we follow that same logic, a Legendary skill will cost 50 mortium, and 400 days to prep. i hate to thing what an artifact level skill would be, i'm assuming our MC will never get those or the Mr. Grey will have to perform some shenanigans for him to be able to use it in any kind of time frame. and I wish there were more numbers. Additionally the levels seem very arbitrary. no number or EXP listed with kills. I mean the group killed 2 very extremely hard life ending monsters and only got 2 levels each??? that seems insane to me. We also don't know how much Magitech a skill costs to use or maintain. but those are just my personal gripes. Overall the book was well written and edited, and i will be buying further books.
