It was while I was watching the heartwarming scene of the sisters. Hey there, you brats! Who gave you permission to stay in this place? Do you know whose turf this is? Two thuggish looking men approached. What do you want? I haven't seen your faces around here. Then you have to pay tribute. What!? You are taking our money? Of course! This is our turf! Don't think you can just waltz in here and get away with giving us nothing! That's right! Big brother runs this whole area! What are those men talking about? This is a public space, so there is no such thing as turf. I didn't know about that! Oh yeah? You think not knowing makes it okay? We really didn't know. We are leaving now, so that should be fine, right? Come on, Fiene. Okay. The sisters tried to stand up and leave, but the men blocked their way. Whoa there. We are not done talking. What now? We are leaving, so it has nothing to do with you! It doesn't work like that. You entered our turf, so you have to pay. Tha

Double edged sword? What do you mean?Nothing, never mind. Just come with me.Where are we going? We have been walking through the city for a while.You will see soon.After leaving the slums, I decided to head to a certain placeThe Bloody Sword I gave to that man has a little secret.Even though its attack power is very high, its recommended level is only 1. If you equip it from level 1, you can almost become unstoppable.But because of that, it has a troublesome performance. That comes from the ability attached to itThis is the performance of the Bloody Sword.――――――――――――――――□ Bloody SwordAttack Power: 200Recommended Level: 1・ Consumes HP when attacking・ Gradually loses HP while equipped――――――――――――――――The recommended level is 1 but the attack power is extremely high.Compared to weapons of the same recommended level, it has more than ten times the power.Normally, this attack power would require a recommended level of nearly 20.But look at the ability section below it.A

We left the town and headed out into the grasslands.Lapis is carrying a bow, and Fine is wielding a staff.I took these items from my inventory. Both are starter weapons with a recommended level of 1."Oh, right. I forgot about learning skills.""I think we learn them from our Adventurer Cards, right?""That's right. Could you both show me your Adventurer Cards?"With that, they both showed me their Adventurer Cards.Let's see.―――――――――――――――――　LapisRank: FLevel 1STR: 1VIT: 1INT: 1AGI: 1DEX: 2―――――――――――――――――　―――――――――――――――――　Finee　Rank: F　Level 1　STR: 1　VIT: 1　INT: 2　AGI: 1　DEX: 1　―――――――――――――――――　Whoa... what kind of stats are these...They were this low? No wonder I lose to slimes.But even with low stats, I can make up for it with the right equipment and skills."Well, for now, let's try learning a skill from Lapis.""Got it."When Lapis touched the Adventurer Card, the "Skill Tree" appeared.　The skill tree allows you to check your current skill acquisiti

A few days had passed since then.We spent our time relentlessly hunting Horn Rabbits, while the sisters hunted Slimes.It seemed the two of them had gotten the hang of it; they could now easily defeat Slimes.So we decided to make Horn Rabbits our next target.It was one day during this routine.　We were hunting Horn Rabbits in the grasslands as usual when Lapis spoke up."Hey, Zest. Don't you think I've gotten pretty strong by now?""Yeah, you're right. You've leveled up, and compared to when we started, you've gotten so much stronger it's like a different person.""Hehe! I knew it! And it's all thanks to you! I'm so grateful."The two of them are now Level 4. As for me, I'm Level 6.　We're still in the beginner range, but we're definitely getting stronger."So, I'm thinking it's about time I tried taking on other monsters. It's been nothing but Horn Rabbits for so long…"I've moved them on from slimes to hunting Horn Rabbits, but I haven't let them fight any other monsters yet."No

Some monsters have variants known as "mutant species."Mutant species are larger than usual and have higher stats. It's not uncommon for their HP to be three times higher than normal.These monsters are often referred to as "rare monsters."A rare monster commonly known as a "Rare-mon" the Great Boar, was glaring right at us."W-we're getting out of here! There's no way we can beat something like that!""Oh no…""Finee! Pull yourself together! If we don't run now, we'll get killed!""…! Y-yeah! Zest, you better hurry too!"The two of them were about to break into a run to escape.But "What are you talking about? We're taking that thing down.""Egh."　Especially its two tusks they're massive, like it's brandishing a giant spear.It's so huge that even the Heavy Boar, which is about the size of a compact car, looks cute by comparison.It's practically the size of a large dump truck. It truly deserves to be called the Lord of the Forest."It'll be fine. The Great Boar moves pretty much
