Manipulation

Tad has a secret.

Found as a child, the sole-survivor of an apparent shipwreck, he grows up an orphan with no memory of his past or the heritage, which gives rise to his strange ability to smell magic.

Tad has a problem.

Adventurers hoping to exploit Tad’s ability to find the best magic, forcibly take him into a dungeon so far beyond his level that the slightest mistake could mean death.

Tad has a plan.

In the depths of a dungeon, Tad learns more about his true nature. Not only can he sniff out magic—he can eat it, using the mana to bend enchantments to his will, creating some truly epic gear in the process. He must unlock the secrets of his heritage and find his place in the wider multiverse. He knows he’s a man, but there’s a demon who says he’s so much more. He’s a Magic Eater.
