"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...

Chapter 30: Following Behind The Party
I'd been making my way through Trampada Dungeon alone, and somehow ended up traveling together with another party instead."Haah."I let out a small sigh.I'd wanted to go solo, so why did it end up like this...Looking her over, the silver-haired girl was holding a long staff, which suggested she was some kind of mage. Since magic required advanced study to learn, she was probably from a wealthy family.Surrounding the silver-haired girl were several men, equipped with swords, spears, and shields.It seemed the silver-haired girl had paid the men to form a party with her. Judging from the earlier conversation, that much seemed clear.A party was normally something formed by people who trusted each other, but hiring people with money to form one, while rare, wasn't unheard of.As for me, I just tried to stay as unobtrusive as possible, following along behind them."You're Henri, right?""Y-Yes, that's right..."One of the men toward the back spoke to me. Since it was so sudden, I ende
Chapter 29: Encountering A Party
Monsters weren't the only thing considered troublesome in Trampada Dungeon."Oh."I found myself muttering that.I'd stepped on a teleport trap.Right, Trampada Dungeon had these teleport traps scattered all over the place, and they existed solely to inconvenience the adventurers who came through. Their locations apparently changed from day to day too, which made them nearly impossible to plan around."It's such a pain not knowing where I've ended up..."I groaned at the spot I'd been teleported to.Since the dungeon consisted of endless corridors of near-identical walls, it was hard to get a sense of exactly where I was.If only I could figure out my location right away...Thinking that, I pulled out my map and compared it against my surroundings.Hmm, going by the feel of things, I'd probably been teleported somewhere near the entrance...Since the teleport destination was random, sometimes you'd get lucky and end up near the boss area, but unfortunately, this wasn't one of those ti

◇◇◇◇◇◇Possession of skill [Physical Attack Critical Rate Up: Medium] confirmed.[Physical Attack Critical Rate Up: Medium] has leveled up to [Physical Attack Critical Rate Up: Large].◇◇◇◇◇◇"Oh-hooo!"I found myself cheering all by myself.Having returned to Trampada Dungeon once again, I'd safely made it to the reward area, obtained the first-clear [Book of Learning], and used it right away.Let's see just how much stronger I've gotten — time to test it on some wolves!"Whoa, almost every hit's a critical now."That was my impression as I slashed at a wolf with my knife.It felt like one out of every two attacks was landing as a critical."I wonder if there's anything above Large..."The thought crossed my mind.If I used the [Book of Learning] while at Large, would it grow even further?Alright, time to dive into Trampada Dungeon one more time.◇◇◇◇◇◇Possession of skill [Physical Attack Critical Rate Up: Large] confirmed.[Physical Attack Critical Rate Up: Large] has leveled up t
Chapter 27: If I Use It Again?
"I wonder what would happen if I used the [Book of Learning] one more time?"The thought suddenly occurred to me.Using the [Book of Learning] let you learn the skill [Physical Attack Critical Rate Up: Small]. But what would happen if you used a [Book of Learning] while already possessing [Physical Attack Critical Rate Up: Small]? That's what I was curious about."I doubt any other adventurer's ever tried this..."Since the [Book of Learning] was a first-clear reward, you only ever got the chance to obtain one, once. So there was no way for other adventurers to test this out.But I could farm the [Book of Learning] as many times as I wanted."Alright, let's head back to Trampada Dungeon."Maybe I'd just get some "Cannot be used" dialog if I tried to use a second [Book of Learning], but I wouldn't know until I tried.Curiosity alone was reason enough to act.◆"Finally made it..."In the reward area of Trampada Dungeon, I stretched out, thoroughly worn out.I'd gotten caught in a telep
Chapter 26: Kobold Hunting
The next day, I left home and headed straight for Fassil Dungeon.My goal was wolf hunting.Not that I had any interest in bullying wolves for no reason. I was there to test out my skill.More specifically, I wanted to figure out how frequently critical hits occurred.For that, the number of trials was what mattered most.Since wolves were the weakest monster around, I figured I could hunt plenty of them, which was why I'd come to Fassil Dungeon.◇◇◇◇◇◇Your level has increased.◇◇◇◇◇◇A message popped up with a *ping*, notifying me that my level had gone up.In front of me lay the corpse of a wolf.I must have already defeated more than ten wolves. When I'd leveled up to 2, all it had taken was defeating a single wolf, but apparently reaching level 3 required this many kills.It seemed the rumors were true: the higher your level got, the harder it became to level up further."More importantly, what attack number did the critical hit land on just now?"I muttered to myself while pulli
Chapter 25: My First
"If I'm going to test out my new skill, this is really the only place to do it."The place I headed to was Fassil Dungeon, known as a dungeon for beginners.Wolves were the dominant monster there, the first-clear reward was the [Sword of Departure], and it was also the dungeon where I'd first used [Evasion] to pass through a wall.What I wanted to test this time was whether I could actually defeat a monster now that I had a new skill.Until now, my attack power stat had been too low, and since I didn't have any offense-boosting skills, I hadn't been able to defeat even the weakest monsters.But this time, I'd finally gotten my hands on a skill that boosted my attack, something I'd been longing for.So, I figured I'd test whether I could now defeat monsters by going up against wolves, said to be the weakest of them all.◇◇◇◇◇◇**[Physical Attack Critical Rate Up: Small]**When making a physical attack, occasionally triggers a critical hit.◇◇◇◇◇◇I checked the entry for [Physical Attac
