Transcription: "Motazarumono" (Japanese: 持たざる者)		Tetsuya YanagisawaMariko KunisawaTetsuya YanagisawaOctober 5, 2023 (2023-10-05)
Fate Graphite is a poor gatekeeper for the Vlerick family whose three children Hado, Memil and Rafale, bully him due to their status as holy knights. Unfortunately Fates only skill is Gluttony that does nothing except leave him starving permanently. The only one to show him kindness is holy knight Roxy Hart. Bandits rob the Vlerick house and Fate ends up killing one. To his shock Gluttony consumes the bandit’s soul, increasing Fates strength and granting him the bandits skills in Appraisal and Telepathy. Roxy offers to hire him to her Hart family, but he is too scared to leave. Suspecting Gluttony might be useful after all Fate buys a rusty black sword, realising with Telepathy it is the living magic sword Greed. Rafale is revealed to be researching immortality. With Greeds help Fate slays a goblin pack, absorbing their strength and skills. Greed advises keeping Gluttony secret as it is a forbidden skill that goes against Divine Law. On his way home Telepathy reveals an adventurer kidnapping a young girl to sell to corrupt holy knights for sexual slavery. Despite not knowing how strong the adventurer might be Fate follows him to try save the girl.
2"Hunger Boost"
Transcription: "Kiga Būsuto" (Japanese: 飢餓ブースト)		Kiyoshi MurayamaMariko KunisawaTetsuya YanagisawaOctober 12, 2023 (2023-10-12)
Fate defeats the adventurer and learns it was Hado planning to buy the girl, Sahara, whom Fate returns to her orphanage. Fate decides to accept the job working for Roxy. Lord Hart dies in battle so his title passes to Roxy as Commander of the Holy Knights, though many doubt she will be capable in the role. Fate begins work as a servant with Roxy taking a more than casual interest in him, earning disapproval from head maid Haru. Fate’s starvation returns, only now it turns his eyes red. Greed reveals now Gluttony has consumed a soul it will crave them constantly, meaning Fate must kill regularly or Gluttony will starve him to death or send him on a mindless rampage. The red eyes are Hunger-Boost, a unique skill that makes him a more skilled hunter/killer until Gluttony is fed. Fate slays goblins, hobgoblins and a Goblin King from whom he steals Health-Regeneration to heal injuries almost instantly. In exchange for some of his strength Greed also levels up and unlocks a new form, a bow that never misses. Fate anonymously donates the Goblin King’s loot to the orphanage to help Sahara and her friends.
3"Roxy's Inspection"
Transcription: "Rokishī no Shisatsu" (Japanese: ロキシーの視察)		TBATBATBAOctober 19, 2023 (2023-10-19)
Roxy visits town disguised as a commoner with Fate as her guard. She notes his sword needs maintenance. Roxy sees for herself a holy knight bullying people. To prevent the knight recognising Roxy Fate improvises they are lovers arguing, then disappear into the crowd. Via Telepathy Fate can tell Roxy enjoys holding his hand. Fate realises Roxy is looking for information on a suspected Lich that slaughtered 100 goblins and a Goblin-King, panicking the whole city. Fate panics at the thought of knights patrolling the forests as it will become difficult to feed Gluttony without being seen. Roxy is eventually discovered and deeply saddened people automatically treat her with fear when it is her job to protect them. After visiting a blacksmith to clean Greed Roxy is angered the Vlericks planned to hunt the supposed Lich without informing her. They encounter the Vlerick siblings tormenting a lost child and leave irritated when Roxy confronts them. Helping the boy find his mother Fate is reminded of a knight resembling Roxy who helped him after his father died. They return home and are thoroughly scolded by Haru. Needing a way to hunt without being seen Fate secretly acquires a magic mask. The Vlericks and other knights gather in secret to discuss a place called Galia.
4"Crowned Beast"
Transcription: "Kanmuri Mamono" (Japanese: 冠魔物)		TBATBATBAOctober 26, 2023 (2023-10-26)
Due to repeated hunting trips, Fate becomes known as Corpse Lich. Roxy invites Fate to the Hart vineyards to meet her mother, Lady Aisha, who recognises their mutual crush. Fate learns Kobolds always attack the vineyards. He encounters a red eyed Galian girl hunting the Kobolds, but she cryptically warns he is still immature and needs to kill the Kobolds more than she does. Roxy recognises her as being from the Galian region where her father died. Roxy leads the Kobold hunt, unaware one has evolved into a Crowned Kobold. Fate decides to hunt it at night so Roxy won’t be endangered. After killing it Gluttony goes berserk from such a high quality soul and Fate fights to keep it under control. Roxy discovers the dead Kobolds and suspects the Galian girl. Aisha, who will soon die of chronic illness, secretly charges Fate with supporting Roxy after her death. Fate agrees but feels unworthy. Slaying goblins no longer satisfies Gluttony and Hunger-Boost turns one eye red all the time, requiring hiding under an eye patch. Hado is chosen to hunt for Corpse Lich while Roxy, due to the Vlerick’s scheming, is chosen to go to Galia to finish the mission that killed her father. Fate begs her to refuse such an obvious plot against her life, but she agrees to go. Rafale and Memil travel to Tenburn to continue researching immortality. Powerless against their corruption Fate does the only thing he can; on his next hunt he lets Hado find him, intending to kill him in revenge.
