Character[]
The main character, Tetsuya Takahashi, was involved in a heroic summoning and was summoned to another world. The other world where he was summoned is a world where many different tribes are fighting over territory. Humans have lost most of their territory and are in dire straits. In order to escape their plight, the otherworldly people summoned a brave warrior.
In the other world where they were summoned, there is a limit level. Every human being is born with a fixed number of levels that can be raised. That is the limit level. All those summoned as heroes were at a high level, such as limit level 125 or 99, but Tetsuya's limit level was 1.
In this world, there was a rule that those with low limit level were called defective and discarded. Tetsuya, whose limit level was 1, was unreasonably dropped to the bottom of a valley with a large number of demons. There, he uses his initial unique skill [Absorbing Corpses].
This skill allows him to absorb a dead person and gain the person's abilities. Tetsuya uses the power of corpse absorption to rise to become the most powerful being. The humans who have driven Tetsuya out are doing well at first, thanks to the heroes' efforts, but gradually frayed edges begin to appear and they follow the path of destruction.
Personality
After being thrown into the Valley of Death to die for being "defective", because his limiter is level 1, Tetsuya strong desire for revenge. Besides that, he is usually kind, polite and affectionate. Before being summoned, he regretted all the wrong choices he made in his life.
Chronology
Tetsuya is in a monster-infested canyon and is steadily growing stronger by absorbing monster corpses, rescues a cat girl named Lenya from monsters, and meets up with an elf named Mek Samafers. Just before leaving the canyon, Tetsuya runs into a spirit that was watching over him called the "King of the Abyss". He gives Tetsuya a crest that allows him to borrow some of his powers.
Sometime after leaving the canyon one of the four sets off to conquer the elven kingdom. When the Mek hears about this, she Tetsuya and Lenya set off to defeat him. They ran into destroyed elven villages and Tetsuya vows revenge. The delinquent had yet to arrive at the Elven royal capital and allowed the three to defend the place.
In the fight, Tetsuya proved quite strong until the delinquent started using his cheater beating him mercilessly. Cue in the "King of the Abyss" tells Tetsuya that if he allows him to take over his body, then he saves his friends. Tetsuya agrees and the King kills the hero and then promptly absorbs him. At this point, the King is happy as hell because he now has a body to inhabit and escape from the boring abyss with. Furthermore, this body has an awesome cheat that allows him to absorb abilities from corpses. Mek sees that the King is evil and uses a royal elven item to disable the crest and bring Tetsuya back to his senses.
After a while, the second delinquent shows up and decides to conquer the commonwealth where the Tetsuya is staying. He and his team fight against the invading human army. The second delinquent has a cheat that makes him an impenetrable tank (damages are reduced to like 1 damage). Tetsuya compensates by using the cheat he absorbed to slowly grind down his health. After defeating the human army and killing #2, Tetsuya was reminded of the King's power and vowed to no longer use Absorb Corpse on humans or demi-humans.
Tetsuya goes off and trains a bit and kills some more monsters and absorbs them. Only to realize that he can no longer absorb any more skills because he has hit his limit of absorbing skills. Mek basically says that he needs to go get some expansion pack potions in order to absorb more skill now.
Abilities[]
"Wanting a chance to fix everything so I can have a decent life."
― Tetsuya Takahashi
Tetsuya was summoned to another world after getting caught up in a hero summoning. Whose limit level is 1, is unreasonably dropped into a valley full of monsters. So he used his early unique skill 《Corpse Absorption》 is used. A skill that absorbs a dead person and acquires that person's ability. The skill Tetsuya used as part of the King of Abyss, a godlike being who absorbs the people who died and wants revenge who used the secret arts to the people in his world, he has given a mark on his right arm it is an act of a power plug to draw the power of the King of Abyss. But it has a drawback that he needs to die in every fight to "Release" the power of the King of Abyss to gain the true sense of power.
Info: Tetsuya obtained this skill after being summoned. It hasn't reached its full potential. It had a limit in status increase. The souls of all collected corpses are inside the user. If it is 100% activated, the user's soul would be eaten by them and that's why the stats obtained are low and the amount of growth it obtains.
Description: The user is able to consume any corpse it touches, monster and being, into its body by creating a vortex on the palm of the hand and absorbing the corpse. After assimilation, the user will obtain all the stats the corpse had before dying and sometimes the skills it possessed when it was alive but not all of them. The user can't obtain more skills than the user limit and can't absorb the corpse if the user hasn't made physical contact with it. It has a limitation on how much the health and magic power could be raised but it was removed by the Mark of the Abyss King and it is now 2.5 times more powerful.
