Skill Eater – A Dark Fantasy LitRPG Podcast New Episodes Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday When Kenshiro and his wife Tara were caught in a catastrophic train crash, they didn’t die—they were taken.

It whispers in his mind, guiding him, shaping him... and it sounds a lot like his wife. As Kenshiro fights to survive, he begins unraveling the mystery of what really happened to them. Tara isn’t gone—she is the system itself, bound to forces even more terrifying than the monsters he faces. To save her, he’ll have to carve his own path through warlords, devils, and ancient powers that see him as either a pawn or prey.

In this gripping episode, Kenshiro finds himself face-to-face with a devil named Vahl. With no clear way forward and Tara’s fate still uncertain, Kenshiro is forced to negotiate with the infernal being for control of the temple. But making deals with devils is never simple, and Vahl’s interest in Kenshiro goes far beyond a mere exchange. As tensions rise, Kenshiro must navigate the fine line between survival and servitude.
Wed, 12 Mar 2025 10:00:07 +0000
Kenshiro barely has time to breathe after his encounter with Vahl before the weight of his decision crashes down on him.
The devil’s gift—Obsequity—grants him authority over lesser devils, but the strings attached may be invisible for now. As he grapples with the implications of his new power, Kenshiro digs deeper into the system that governs this world. His quest log offers more than just a list of tasks; it’s a cryptic map of his fate, with messages from Tara that hint at something far bigger than he ever imagined. Between the unsettling control he now wields and the lingering question of what Vahl really wanted, Kenshiro faces a chilling reality: power isn’t free, and neither is survival. With each revelation, the mystery of Nowhere only grows deeper, and Kenshiro is left wondering whether he’s on the path to dominance—or if he’s simply another piece being moved across the board.
One thing is certain: whatever game he’s playing, he’s not the only one making the rules.

After a tense battle deep in a forest of towering pines, Kenshiro Perez and his companions defeat a powerful creature known as a Fellcat, leaving Kenshiro puzzling over an unusual phenomenon: a rare double core drop. As the team quickly harvests the creature for valuable materials, Kenshiro grapples with the limitations of his current strength and the group's decision to sell the second core rather than let him use it. Though grateful for their protection and guidance, a seed of frustration grows in him, knowing how much the core could have meant for his survival.
As the group journeys onward toward the city of Bethaven, Kenshiro seeks to learn more about the world’s strange, mana-filled cores. Myrtle eagerly explains their nature, how they form within magical beasts, and the dangerous effects they can have on creatures. Despite some tension between Kenshiro and the others over the differences between beasts and sentient beings, the group bonds through shared conversation, small moments of music, and simple comforts, offering Kenshiro a fleeting sense of belonging in this foreign, dangerous land.
However, as night falls and the camp settles into quiet meditation, Kenshiro's homesickness returns with full force. Staring up at an alien sky under the watchful gaze of his companion Sombra, Kenshiro clings to the faint hope that reaching Bethaven might bring him closer to finding a way home—and closer to reuniting with the wife he was torn away from. Despite the camaraderie he’s found, the weight of his longing keeps his heart heavy as he finally drifts into a restless sleep.
Mon, 05 May 2025 15:38:26 +0000

Kenshiro and his companions arrive at Spinebrook, a rugged logging outpost nestled at the edge of civilization. After days in the wild, the shift to noisy roads, hard stone buildings, and warm sunlight is both welcome and jarring. The town is alive with activity—burly laborers, tattooed orcs, massive beetles used for hauling timber—and Kenshiro finds himself absorbing a new layer of culture in Nowhere.
As the party splits up to take care of errands, Kenshiro stumbles upon something at the town’s notice board that shakes him deeply, forcing him to confront a part of his recent past. Fel’Tal tries to reassure him, but the emotional weight lingers. Later, the group reunites at the local inn, where laughter, drinks, and a moment of camaraderie help ease tensions. Through it all, Kenshiro gets a small taste of normalcy—and a reminder of just how foreign, dangerous, and unpredictable this new world truly is.
Fri, 09 May 2025 10:00:08 +0000
As dawn quietly approaches, he reflects on the emotional baggage he left behind and the surreal reality he's now entrenched in—where quests, magic, and summoned creatures are part of daily life. While the rest of the party sleeps, Kenshiro grapples with loneliness and the overwhelming weight of the tasks that lie ahead.
It's a deeply human moment in a fantasy world, showing us not just what Kenshiro is fighting against, but what he's fighting for. A tense interaction over coffee leads to a hard truth—he's not yet ready to face the challenges ahead. But it's his fiery response and resolve that reveal a spark of something more.
This chapter is a quiet but powerful pause in the journey—a reminder that even in worlds filled with monsters and magic, the hardest battles are often the ones we fight within ourselves.
Mon, 12 May 2025 10:00:10 +0000
Kenshiro finds himself at a crucial turning point. He joins his companions, Myrtle and Fel’Tal, at the bar, where tensions remain high after a fraught interaction with Ingot. Kenshiro converses casually with Fel’Tal in Orcish—thanks to his Fellowship skill—but underneath the small talk, his mind churns with frustration and a sense of inadequacy. Ingot’s criticisms have hit him hard, awakening a realization: he’s been floundering through this world without a solid plan, acting reactively rather than with purpose. Motivated by his mission to find Tara and shaken by his vulnerability, Kenshiro resolves to take a more deliberate, tactical approach to his journey.
As preparations for their next move begin, Kenshiro isolates himself to organize his thoughts and possessions. He empties his bag, laying out everything he owns in a moment of stark humility—his resources are meager. This act of taking inventory isn't just physical; it's metaphorical. Kenshiro evaluates his skills, his remaining slots, and the gaps in his strategy. Determined to stop stumbling through this alien world, he commits to taking control where he can. The chapter closes on this note of introspection and renewed purpose, as Kenshiro shifts from survival to strategy, ready to meet the coming challenges with clearer intent.
Wed, 14 May 2025 10:00:08 +0000
Kenshiro and his group journey along the road to Bethaven. The mood is lighter than expected, with warm sun and pleasant conversation filling the air. Myrtle reignites her one-question game, and through it, Kenshiro shares details of his life on Earth, revealing parts of his past, including his parents’ separation and his father’s death. The discussion shifts to the significance of mana cores—valuable items used for healing, powering artifacts, and cultivation. Kenshiro, curious and increasingly aware of his limited knowledge of the world, presents a core he obtained, seeking insight from the group. This moment leads to tension, particularly with Ingot, who confronts him about his intentions and knowledge.
