The fact that when the four people with negative skills got together, they had some kind of synergy and had the strongest party.

Outside the window, it was raining.

I look at my status screen blurry as I lay in the bed of a staying inn.

[43] To the level of, various parameters such as STR (muscle strength), AGI (agility), etc. And - - skills.

I sighed.

It's a nasty substitute. How hard I've been struggling because of this guy.

I don't care about skills...... no the status itself, wish it didn't exist.

According to what the great old sage found out, this world seems to be a boxyard (simulation).

There's such a thing as status, because this world is the boxyard.

When you defeat a monster, the item drops because this world is the boxyard.

Sometimes it rains quietly like this, because this world is the boxyard.

People cry and laugh because this world is the boxyard.

I turned off the status screen and sighed.

So what. I don't care.

Whether this world is a boxyard (simulation) or not, the reality in front of us remains the same.

I've never heard of an adventurer who cares about the truth about the world, and so did I.

The only thing that matters is what's bothering you right now.

"You're hungry..."

One shrugged in vain. I'm hungry if it's a boxyard (simulation). Right now, I don't even have the energy to put something in my mouth.

How many times is this going to kick me out of the party?

Just to be clear, I'm strong.

[43] The level is one that ordinary adventurers can finally reach by the time they come up with retirement. Besides, thanks to parameter ascending system skills like [muscle strength increase/large], [agility increase/medium], it actually has a number above the level. Even solos can dive deep in the dungeon. I don't know what to say to myself, but as a swordsman, I wouldn't even want any more.

If it was meant to be avant-garde, it would have been again.

Unless you even have an extra-large negative skill called [drop rate reduction/special].

Yes, skills.

I was born with seven skills.

Two or three at most if you're a normal adventurer. Of all the few people named Zero, this was a breakthrough.

Apparently, there are occasional appearances in the world of people endowed with such skills.

It's just... as if fitting the form, such humans always possessed special skills that no one else would see.

That's a negative skill.

What are Negative Skills? It's easy to explain.

Disadvantaged skills, to say the least.

A parameter loss system such as [muscle weakness] is not uncommon.

Some reduce the success rate of specific technologies such as [clumsy].

Negative skill holders like [EXP Loss] and [Level Cap] usually did not become adventurers, but often plowed fields or apprenticed to craftsmen and merchants.

My [Drop Rate Decrease/Special] is inherently such a skill.

Adventurers don't just have to be strong, they need to make a living with it.

[Drop Rate Up], [Golden Luck] That's why people who have skills and are good at calculating books are appreciated at every party.

From that point of view, I was already like a plague god.

Whatever you say, if I kill a monster, I'll drop 80% less items and coins.

Being kicked out of the party was also, by reason, convincing.

But that's why I'm not going to stop being an adventurer now.

I've decided to live this way.

"Ha..."

I wish I didn't have a status.

How good would it have been if everything had been a world to be determined by effort.

Five years since I became an adventurer in fourteen. Having almost made it to this level with solo, I was more proud to have worked harder than anyone else.

Regardless, I would have had a lot of luck not dying from unscrupulous leveling, but I don't have [luck] skills.

I can't help it if it's rotten.

Come on, we have to crack this situation open.

"After all, this is all I have..."

From the table by the bed, take a piece of paper.

There was once a way to open it.

The paper is in my writing, and the note runs.

I wrote it off the Adventurer Guild bulletin board. That was information on a dungeon recently found.

Dungeons can disappear or be born new.

Regardless of the large dungeons that many adventurers usually get food for their lives, smaller dungeons were born every once in a while, even in areas near here, and had vanished after being defeated by boss monsters.

Recently found, one of those small dungeons.

There were rumors about it that bothered me.

Anything, some of the items that that boss monster drops - they say they erase the skills they have.

In dungeons, paper pieces in walls, crates, etc., are sometimes marked with tactical tips in a roundabout fashion.

Apparently, there are descriptions in these reckoning manuscripts (flavored texts) that can be interpreted that way.

Since it turns out, the party trying to attack that dungeon has dropped dramatically.

As politely as it is written as a hint, I'm pretty sure that item will be the main drop. But...... no one wants to purposefully erase their skills.

Except for people like me who have negative skills.

There was nothing unusual about the monster that emerged, and the boss drop was just a substitute that didn't know how much it would be worth, and now there were hardly any more parties diving into that dungeon.

So you can't even expect someone to take down the boss and put that item on the market.

I just have to do it myself.

alone (solo) than you can't throw a party.

I know it's almost reckless.

Though my level is high and the size of the dungeon isn't huge, it's not sane shabbat such as trying the boss with a solo.

But - this was all I had left to live as an adventurer in the future.

No, I'd rather call it a one-of-a-kind opportunity.

If someone attacked me, I'd never come around for another chance like this again.

I got a little lost and got out of bed.

- Before we go on our adventures, we have to buy in potions and food.
