I Got the Gluttony Skill, and Now I’m Overpowered

Raven flew through the air, his fiery shadow wings slicing through the sky. The wind roared past him as he approached the jagged ridge. Sixteen minutes later, he spotted the dark entrance of the cavern. Hovering in place for a moment, he smirked.

"There it is," he muttered. Descending swiftly, he landed at the cavern's mouth with a loud thud. Dust rose as his boots hit the ground. He could feel a faint aura emanating from within the dark depths of the cave. His smirk widened as excitement coursed through him.

"Alright, come out, ugly!" he yelled. Raising his hand, he activated his skill. "Skill: Infernal Wail!"

A fiery shockwave burst from him, surging into the cave and echoing through its depths. Moments later, a massive explosion erupted inside, sending tremors and shockwaves rippling out of the cavern. Raven laughed.

"That should wake it up," he said, his voice filled with anticipation. "Come on out, ugly! I want to play."

A deep, guttural roar erupted from the cavern, shaking the very ground beneath him. Raven instinctively jumped back, creating distance as he prepared himself. Heavy thuds echoed closer and closer, each step shaking the earth. Then, it emerged.

The Obsidian Wyvern stepped out of the cavern, its massive green form illuminated by the sunlight. Its tattered wings flapped once, creating a gust that scattered loose rocks and debris. The jagged obsidian scales on its body glinted menacingly, and its piercing yellow eyes locked onto Raven. The wyvern opened its maw and unleashed a deafening roar that echoed through the valley.

Raven didn't flinch. Instead, he smirked. "Wow, you're an ugly one," he remarked, raising his hand again. "Skill: Appraisal!"

A blue screen materialized in front of him, displaying the wyvern's stats and skills. Raven read them aloud, his voice steady and amused.

The wyvern roared in response, its wings spreading wide as it prepared to attack. Raven's excitement only grew as he readied himself for the clash.

The wyvern roared in response, its wings spreading wide as it prepared to attack. Raven's excitement only grew as he readied himself for the clash.

The wyvern spread its massive tattered wings and took off into the sky, its shadow casting a foreboding darkness over the rocky terrain. Raven readied himself, planting his feet firmly on the ground. His smile widened as excitement coursed through him.

"Let's go!!! Bring it on!" he yelled, his laughter echoing through the valley.

The wyvern roared in response, its guttural cry shaking the very air. Without hesitation, it unleashed its skill, **Sky Rend**, slicing through the atmosphere with a wide-range aerial slash. The attack came quickly, the force of it sending shockwaves rippling through the ground.

Raven's sharp eyes caught the movement, and with a smirk, he darted to the side. "Nice try, ugly!" he taunted as the attack missed him by inches.

The wyvern, undeterred, whipped its tail with incredible force. The heavy blow struck Raven, sending him skidding across the ground, dirt and debris flying in his wake. He tumbled briefly but planted his feet firmly, stopping himself from sliding further. Looking up at the wyvern, Raven brushed himself off, still smiling.

"Nice try, ugly," he said again, his mocking tone laced with amusement. "You'll have to do better than that."

The wyvern roared again, this time opening its massive maw and releasing a torrent of its **Black Flame Breath**. The searing black flames surged forward, consuming everything in their path. Raven leapt out of the way, narrowly avoiding the inferno. He watched as the flames hit a cluster of trees and nearby rocks, reducing them to molten puddles in seconds.

His smile faltered for a moment as he took in the destruction.

"That's… really amazing power," he muttered, his tone shifting to one of awe. His red eyes narrowed, and with a stutter, he added, "Damn… that ugly wyvern's packing some serious heat!"

He clenched his fists, his aura flaring around him as he steadied himself. "Looks like I'll have to get serious."

Raven's smile returned, his voice calm but determined. "I guess I have to take my phoenix form then." Just as he prepared to transform, the wyvern charged forward, tackling Raven with immense force. The impact sent him hurtling high into the air, spinning uncontrollably.

Despite the force of the attack, Raven's grin widened. "Combo skill! Phoenix Ascension + Abyssal Rebirth!" he yelled, his voice echoing across the sky.

As he activated the skills, the sky lit up with an intense, fiery glow. The light became so blinding that the wyvern roared in frustration, shielding its eyes with its massive wings. For a few moments, the battlefield was engulfed in brilliance as Raven's body began to transform.

His wings emerged first, shadow and fire intertwining into massive, radiant appendages. His entire form pulsed with an aura of both destruction and rebirth. A few seconds later, the light subsided, revealing Raven in his **Abyssal Rebirth** form, hovering above the wyvern with an imposing presence.

Looking down at the wyvern, Raven smirked. "Form complete. Let's have some fun, ugly!"

Before making his move, Raven said, "Status screen!" A blue display appeared before him, detailing the unique abilities of his current form. He read them aloud, analyzing each one with a smirk.

**Abyssal Rebirth Form Skills:**

- **Shadowflame Cataclysm:** A devastating area-of-effect attack combining shadow and fire to incinerate and crush everything within a massive radius.

- **Phoenix Ascendant Aura:** Grants enhanced regeneration and boosts all physical and magical abilities by 50% during combat.

- **Infernal Wing Slash:** High-speed strikes with his fiery wings that can cut through even the toughest defenses.

- **Abyssal Convergence:** Draws in energy from his surroundings to amplify his attacks or replenish his stamina.

- **Eternal Rebirth:** Once per transformation, allows him to fully recover from fatal damage by sacrificing a portion of his magical reserves.

Raven's smile widened further as he closed the status screen. "Alright," he said, his aura flaring even brighter. "Let's see if you can handle this, ugly!"

The wyvern roared in defiance, preparing to meet Raven's challenge head-on.

Both combatants launched themselves at each other with incredible speed, the air crackling with tension. The wyvern unleashed its **Black Flame Breath** mid-flight, the torrent of black flames roaring toward Raven with terrifying speed. Raven's smile didn't waver.

"Skill: Shadowflame Cataclysm!" he shouted, unleashing his own fiery attack. Shadow and fire swirled together, meeting the wyvern's flames head-on. The two attacks collided in mid-air, creating a massive explosion. The force of the blast sent shockwaves rippling across the battlefield, black flames scattering in every direction. Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring everything from view.

Raven didn't wait. Moving with blinding speed, he flew through the smoke, silent and undetectable. The wyvern thrashed, trying to locate him, but before it could react, Raven struck.

With a powerful punch, enhanced by his phoenix form, he drove his fist into the wyvern's side. A loud cracking sound echoed as the impact fractured its scales. The wyvern let out a pained roar as it was sent hurtling toward the ground. It crashed into the earth with immense force, creating a massive crater upon impact.

Hovering above, Raven looked down at the fallen beast. His eyes glinted with determination as he smirked. "Had enough, ugly?" he taunted, his voice echoing through the battlefield.

The wyvern staggered to its feet, its massive frame trembling as it let out a guttural, pained roar. Its piercing yellow eyes burned with fury as it locked onto Raven. Raven hovered above, his fiery wings outstretched, looking down with a calm yet intimidating smile.

"You look like you're done," Raven said, his voice filled with confidence. "So let me finish you!"

Raising his arms out to his sides, he called upon his weapons. "Come to me, Eternal Fang and Shadowfang!"

In a burst of dark and fiery energy, the twin swords materialized in his hands. One gleamed with a radiant, silver-blue aura, while the other pulsed with an ominous shadowy glow. Raven smirked, feeling the surge of power flowing through him.

"Let's finish this," he declared, his voice echoing across the battlefield. With a powerful flap of his wings, he ascended higher into the sky, his aura radiating intensity.

The wyvern, sensing the threat, gathered its remaining strength and unleashed its **Black Flame Breath** once again. The torrent of black flames surged upward, aiming to engulf Raven entirely. But Raven was ready. Crossing his swords in front of him, he blocked the attack with precision. The flames roared against the barrier of his blades, but instead of merely holding back the fire, something unexpected happened.

One of the swords, Shadowfang, began to glow as it absorbed the energy of the flames. Raven's eyes widened for a moment before a grin spread across his face.

"Thanks for the new skills, ugly," he taunted, hearing a ding in his mind. The system notified him of a new skill acquisition, and a blue screen appeared before him. As he continued his descent toward the wyvern, he quickly scanned the details of the skill.

**New Skill Acquired:**

- **Black Flame Assimilation:** Grants the ability to absorb and repurpose flame-based attacks, converting them into energy or empowering the next strike.

Raven's grin widened as he closed the screen. "You've just made this even more fun," he said, his voice filled with amusement. With both swords glowing with power, he streaked toward the wyvern like a fiery comet.

"Combo sword skill! Black Flame Assimilation + Shadowflame Cataclysm!" he shouted. The combined power of the two skills surged through his blades as he descended upon the wyvern. With precision and force, he slashed through the beast in a single, devastating motion. The impact sent a shockwave rippling through the area as Raven landed gracefully on the ground.

The wyvern let out one final roar as its black flames vanished. Its massive body began to crumble, breaking into tiny, glowing fragments that scattered across the battlefield. Raven sheathed his swords and walked toward the remains, a satisfied smile on his face.

He picked up a shimmering scale from the debris. "Proof of my mission," he said, tucking it away. Looking at the crumbled remains, he added with a respectful nod, "Thanks for the good fight. But I have to absorb you now."

Raven extended his hand and activated his skill. "Skill: Abyssal Eternity!" A dark, swirling vortex emerged, consuming the wyvern's remains entirely. As the last fragment vanished, Raven heard a series of dings in his mind. A blue screen appeared before him, displaying his progress.
