He has no skills other then those of killing, thus he forms a plan to regain his mortality: he shall kill one hundred evil men for each good one he has killed.

Rin and Manji are almost constantly under attack and must learn to live their lives, avoiding being consumed by revenge. (Source: Anime News Network)
