In a world where stats and skills determine one's status and position, Fate Graphite has always known himself to be one of the losers. The seemingly-useless skill he was born with, Gluttony, leaves him eternally hungry, so he was kicked out of his home village after his father's death and wound up in the capital of the Kingdom of Seifert. For five years he scraped by as the stand-in gate guard for a trio of sibling holy knights, who abused and lorded their power over him mercilessly, until the night that he kills a bandit while assisting Lady Roxy, a friendly holy knight. Then he finally discovers what Gluttony really does: he gains the stats and skills of those he kills. A new skill he acquires from that leads to him to discovering the sentient sword Greed, and with Greed's help he gradually comes to understand Gluttony and the double-edged nature of its terrifying power. Meanwhile, he accepts a vastly better job as a servant to Lady Roxy, whom he has long idolized and who seems oddly interested in him, while also being wary of his original employers and what they might be scheming.
As I read more light novels, I feel that I am developing a good sense for which ones are promising candidates for potential anime adaptations. Based on that, I rate this one as “likely.” Its simple, relatively straightforward construction lends itself well to translating into anime form and it has the right mix of action, appealing characters, and supernatural elements necessary to win over new audiences in that format. That the opening novel also poses an intriguing variation on the “quickly grow to OP status in a game mechanics-ruled world” concept certainly does not hurt.
In some respects, the core concept resembles that of the recently-released Roll Over and Die: an individual in a game-like setting is born with a skill which, on the surface, seems not only useless but detrimental. That individual falls into a downtrodden state, but picks themselves up partly by discovering the particular circumstances which allow the skill to work as intended and partly by picking up a sword that would be classified as artifact-grade in most RPG settings but is not normally usable. In the case of the suspiciously-named Fate, that circumstance is killing someone. Then its overpowered nature becomes apparent: absorbing all of the stats of the victim, as well as all of the victim's skills that Fate does not already possess.
That skill might still be limited by the immense difference in power between the weaker and stronger beings in the setting, which necessitates painstaking effort over a long period of time to work one's way up to the bigger gains. That's no fun in a series like this, so Fate gets an additional cheat in the form of the sword Greed, which serves as coach, source of information, and a bad-ass weapon capable of cutting anything and, eventually, transforming into bow mode, though advancing the weapon and using its most potent tricks comes at a cost to the wielder – a cost that Gluttony can easily compensate for. Individually, Fate and Greed might be pretty strong; together they're a potentially-indomitable powerhouse. Greed gives the impression that he was slumming it in a junk weapons pile while waiting for someone like Fate to come along.
