Age of Adepts - Chapter 1274: Frustrations

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-Rank 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 ShamanAcquired: +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 is no demon, no god, no monster who will stand in his way. He will devour everything—and save the world.But the power of Gluttony was a double edged sword. If he wasn’t careful… he could be the one getting consumed.

I’ve reincarnated as the reverse harem game’s villainess, the one and only step-daughter of the Eckart duke family.

But the difficulty just has to be the worst!

Everything I do will only lead me to death.

I must be paired with one of the main male characters from the heroine’s harem before the ‘real daughter’ of the duke family appears!

Two older brothers who always pick a fight with me on every little thing.

The insane crown prince whose route will always lead to my death.

‘I only see the heroine and no one else’s wizard, and also her loyal s*ave knight, too!

‘First, let’s take some of them which I see no hope in, out of the list!’

“I didn’t know my place up until now. From now on, I’ll live as quiet as a mouse so you wouldn’t care the slightest bit!

But why do their interests in me keep on rising every time I draw the line?!

“Your frog cub will bring you back the travel specialty [Wu Dun·Xueji Boundary]!”

“Your frog cub brought you a souvenir [Eternal Kaleidoscope Shaker Eye]!”

“Your frog cub brought you back the souvenir [Bamen Dunjia]!”

Traveling to the world of pirates, what Bai Ye didn’t expect was that a small game called “Traveling Frog” that he had played turned out to be his golden finger.

Also, the entire game has completely changed!

The place where the little frog travels has turned into various dimensional worlds!

And the original ordinary specialty has become a special product of each world!

Relying on the special products brought back by the little frog, Bai Ye can continue to become stronger even if he salts the fish every day.

Not only that, the friends the little frog has made in these worlds will come to visit from time to time.

“Ding dong! Frog cub’s little friend Hinata Hinata is visiting, let’s treat her with specialties~”
