In a world where eating โSkill Fruitsโ grants special powers, Light, a boy who seeks to become the worldโs greatest adventurer, obtains the ยซFruitmasterยป skill, a bogus skill specializing in fruit cultivation that is completely useless in combat.

โWhy am I not dying?!โ
Light avoids certain death and learns the incredible true power of the ยซFruitmasterยป skill: he can eat as many โSkill Fruitsโ as he wants!
