2026-08-13 21:51:50"We don't need you in this party anymore. Get the fuck out."
"Ehh?" That happened after we'd escaped the dungeon for some reason... I, Dom, was left speechless when Guillermo, the leader, told me that. "W-why is that?" Guillermo was so huge he might be more than twice my height. He carried a massive axe on his back that looked even bigger than me. Plus, he'd fly into a rage and start punching and kicking at the slightest provocation. So up until then, I'd tried my best not to defy him. That's why, usually I'd carry out his orders without even asking for a reason. But this time, and for the first time of course, I couldn't let it go. I was suddenly told I was fired. I didn't know why, so... At least I had to know why. Otherwise, I couldn't accept it. "Why the hell are you even asking that? It's because you're useless and stupid." With that, Guillermo opened his mouth wide and laughed. The others started laughing too, as if they'd been infected by his laughter. "Sure, maybe I'm useless. I don't have any decent skills. And I'm still only level 1. But...! I know I'm weak, I know that, but I've still been doing my best for the team. Haven't I??" "That's just as the pack mule, isn't it!?" My vision went all wavy. Guillermo punched me right in my face. My body was sent flying backward. "Don't you dare defy the boss, you stupid little rat." "That's right, that's right." The other party members—Guillermo's cronies—turned to me, cheering him on. "B-but... You said it was okay I joined... U-ughhh..." At first I'd opened my mouth intending to argue back. But as I spoke, the spot where I'd been hit began to throb. Tears welled up in my eyes. Guillermo really is scary. So my open mouth gradually closed, and in the end I couldn't say a damn thing. A year ago, I joined Guillermo's party. Of course, when no one else would take me in, this was the only team that accepted someone weak like me. Back then, I had desperately bowed my head and pleaded, "I'll do whatever you need, even menial tasks, so please just let me join." A year ago, I thought that once I joined the party everything else would work out for me. I figured that as long as I was in the party, there would be plenty of opportunities. That by leveling up and steadily building my skills, I could become a full-fledged adventurer. And yet my level is still 1... What a fucking joke. I should be able to reach level 2 just by defeating a few monsters. But I haven't even come close to that mark. The reason lies in my useless skill. (Evasion)—that's the only skill I have. Usually, people have offensive skills like sword techniques or magic. On top of that, there was a problem with my stats. My attack power is a mere 10... With stats like this I'm fucked up. No matter how many monsters I try to slash, I can't deal any damage. Even so, I've been doing my best for the party as the pack mule. I'd been attacked by monsters countless times and found myself in dangerous situations always, but I'd always protected the supplies and made it back from the dungeons. "But why, after all that, do I get fired now of all times..." There must have been plenty of opportunities to fire me until now. Why was I told I'm fired today? "It's because you're no longer any use to us, don't you understand?" Saying that, Guillermo pointed at my left arm. "With that injury, you can't even carry the supplies properly, can you? Huh, can youuuu?" Today I was attacked by a monster and injured my left arm, as usual. Normally, I could dodge attacks even when I got attacked by monsters. But today I was entrusted with more supplies than I could carry on my own. Because of that, my movements were restricted. Even so, I fought desperately to escape the dungeon without dropping the supplies. "For an injury like this, you could just use a healing potion or ask a healer..." "Why the hell should I have to spend money to heal a rat like you!" Guillermo yelled that. I instinctively tensed up with a "hii." "That's exactly it. I'm done with you right here." With that, Guillermo turned his back on me. The other party members followed him in a trickle. "Go ahead and die out there in the wilderness, you idiot." Someone said that in a mocking tone. Then, they burst out laughing. "W-wait—" I couldn't just let them kick me off the team like this. It's not fair... I had to earn money as an adventurer to make a living and above all, for my little sister's sake. So I stood up and tried to chase after them, but... "You're so annoying. Fuck off..." Someone kicked me down. My frail body was sent flying into the air with ease. "Guuuh!" Then, after slamming into the wall, I was left unable to move. And just like that, I was expelled from the party... Dom Crete, 13 years old male, level: 1 ◇◇◇◇◇◇ MP: 90 Attack: 10 Defense: 50 Intelligence: 60 Resistance: 60 Agility: 150 Skill: [Evasion] ◇◇◇◇◇◇

Chapter 10: Obtaining The 〈Book Of Mastery〉!
As usual, the reward area contained a teleportation circle for leaving the dungeon and a treasure chest. «"I seriously don't feel like I made it out alive..."» The moment I reached the reward area, I dropped heavily onto the floor. If I'd failed to lure the Black Orc's attack properly, if I'd misjudged the angle I was sent flying, if I'd mistimed 〈Evasion〉... any one of those mistakes would have cost me my life. It's honestly amazing that I managed to pull it off without making a single mistake. Even so... It was worth going through all of that. Thinking that, I reached out and placed my hand on the treasure chest. «"So this is the Spiral Dungeon's first-clear reward..."» Inside was a single book. I already knew its effect from my research, but I checked its status just to be sure. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ 〈Book of Mastery〉 Raises the user's highest stat by 10. (Applies to the entire party.) (Cannot be traded.) ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Yep. Just as I'd researched. The 〈Book of Mastery〉 was
Chapter 9: Wall Pass With An Orc!
The Pylar Dungeon. The recommended standard for clearing it was six level 25 adventurers—an E-class dungeon. And here I was, a level 1 adventurer, about to challenge it solo. Inside, the dim corridors twisted like a maze. With the map memorized perfectly in my head, I advanced without hesitation. My goal, of course, was the first-clear reward obtained after defeating the dungeon boss. Naturally, I wasn’t planning to defeat the boss. I intended to claim the reward without fighting. “Gugyuru.” “Ugh, it appeared out of nowhere.” I muttered as I saw the monster before me—an orc. A hulking creature with green skin, wielding a wooden club. In the Pylar Dungeon, this was the most common monster. “Y-yeah, this is scary…” Facing a monster for the first time made my body tremble. Wolves I had fought plenty of times, so I was used to them. But this was different. As I thought that, the orc suddenly swung its club with a heavy sweep. “Waaah!” I shouted as I raised the
Chapter 8: Robbery
“Wh-why…?” That was the first thing I asked. Why was Guillermo standing right in front of me? “I hear you’ve been going in and out of exchange counters all over the place lately.” Guillermo grinned as he said this. I knew that exchanging the 〈Sword of Departure〉—which was supposed to be a first-clear reward—over and over would look suspicious. That’s why I had been careful to use a different exchange counter each time… “Hey, why don’t you show me what you were planning to exchange with me, huh?” Guillermo said this as he stepped closer. I—I have to run! I turned around to flee, but— “Dom, you can’t escape.” Behind me were several adventurers from Guillermo’s party. Before I realized it, his cronies had surrounded me. “Hey, how did you even get the 〈Sword of Departure〉?” At some point Guillermo had moved right in front of me, staring at the sword I was holding. “I cleared the Fassil Dungeon and got it…” “Did you hear that? Dom says he c
Chapter 7: First-clear Reward
And so, I succeeded once again in passing through the wall into the reward area. However, it’s a fixed rule that rewards after the first clear are inferior compared to the initial clear reward. Because of that, adventurers don’t repeatedly defeat the same boss just for the clear reward. If there are adventurers who fight the same boss over and over, their goal isn’t the clear reward but rather the drop items the boss leaves behind. That said, since I can’t defeat monsters, the clear reward is my only way to make money. I have no choice but to gratefully accept it. With that in mind, I opened the treasure chest without much expectation. “Huh?” Inside was a sword that looked very similar to the one I saw yesterday. Just to be sure, I checked the sword’s stats. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ 〈Sword of Departure〉 Attack Power: +100 ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Sure enough, it was the first-clear reward, the 〈Sword of Departure〉. Strange. I’d heard that the 〈Sword of Departure〉 could only be obtained on the
Chapter 6: Trying Different Methods
The next day, I couldn’t decide what to do for the whole day. Since I still had money left over from yesterday, there wasn’t any sense of urgency. But if I kept spending, it would eventually run out. Before that happened, I needed to take some kind of action. “First of all, why was I able to pass through the wall? I should figure that out.” If I just wanted quick money, I could dive into a dungeon and search for treasure chests. But in the long run, solving the mystery of passing through walls was far more important. If I could freely pass through walls, that would become a huge weapon for me. Though honestly, I couldn’t really imagine how exactly I’d use it. “Let’s try it on the wall at home first.” The walls at home are thinner than dungeon walls, so maybe it would be easier to pass through them. “〈Evasion〉.” I said it out loud, but nothing happened. Well, I didn’t really expect it to work so easily. If passing through walls was that simple, I would have noticed
Chapter 5: Clear Rewards
"What w-what the fuck just happened?" I was really confused. I looked around and immediately realized where I was. It was the room you're always taken to after defeating a dungeon boss. We call it the reward area. As proof, a teleportation array was drawn on the floor, and using it would let me easily exit the dungeon. And… "There's a treasure chest too…" "How lucky for me." The treasure chest you get after defeating the dungeon boss was sitting on the floor. Well, I'd just phased through the wall… I hadn't actually defeated the boss, but anyway, that's no reason not to take it. I opened it right away. "Whoa, it's a sword!" Inside was a single sword. I checked its stats. {SWORD OF DEPARTURE} (Increases attack by 100.) A +100 boost to attack isn't a bad stat, is it? To benefit from the sword, you must have the "sword technique" skill. If you don't have it, equipping it won't grant you the +100 bonus, so to me this is nothing more than a heavy stick.
