Fate's gluttony isn't a power fantasy, it's a trap that gets tighter every time he uses it. Each skill he devours brings him closer to something he can't control, closer to becoming the monster everyone already assumed he was. The show doesn't let him be the hero of his own story, it keeps asking if he's even capable of being one.

Fate Graphite carries a curse that others call worthless. Born into a society where abilities granted at birth decide a person's whole life, he is burdened with Gluttony, a skill that leaves him permanently hungry. Working a miserable job as a gatekeeper, he is scorned and mistreated by the holy knights who are meant to protect the people. Everything changes when he kills a fleeing, wounded thief and Gluttony awakens: he can devour the skills and strength of anyone he kills. Soon after, Roxy Hart, the one kind holy knight in the city, offers him work, and he gladly takes it. He also teams up with Greed, a talking sword that warns him Gluttony is a forbidden skill that defies the world's logic. Leading a double life, Fate hunts monsters at night to feed his craving for souls before it drives him berserk. Yet with every ability he absorbs, he must face a darker question: is he controlling this gift, or is the hunger controlling him? The series is a fantasy mixing action, adventure, drama and romance.
