Part 0: Prologue Naxiel could only remain silent when he was betrayed by his party members. His weak self was left alone with those creatures.

When his eyes were almost closed, he only thought about how unlucky and foolish he was. And thinking about revenge.

"If only I got the chance to live again, surely, I would be more—"

Suddenly, a blue light resembling a transparent screen appeared in front of him.

[You have been chosen.]

[Welcome, Naxiel Crowne.]

"With this, I will become stronger."

Chapter 1

Naxiel Crowne, a 29-year-old, received his awakening when he was 12 years old. Joining a party with his childhood friend, Rylan Kart.

But, Naxiel is just someone who is very weak compared to Rylan. His strength is utterly useless and barely able to harm an animal.

His life as a hunter was very unpleasant. Almost all of his hunts yielded no results to sell at the adventurer guilds.

He is considered the weakest in his party, even in the country. If it weren't for survival, he would have long abandoned his job as a hunter.

On that day, Rylan invited him to conquer a rank-C dungeon. Naxiel, who at that time did not receive any reward from his hunt, agreed to follow him.

When they entered the dungeon, they were surrounded by a pack of wolves. Without wasting any time, Rylan immediately issued commands.

"Megaline, unleash your magic." "Darnax, guard my side," commanded Rylan.

Naxiel was only mesmerized by the strength of his party. When the others were busy killing the wolf, Naxiel could only swing his sword aimlessly.

One wolf jumped towards him, and Naxiel was injured on his arm. Causing Darnax to be forced to step in and help him. Naxiel is very useless and could even die if attacked by that wolf.

The wolf that was numerous earlier took only a short time to kill them. The strength of the party was formidable with Rylan.

"Naxiel, what are you doing?" Quickly gather our hunt's results. Said the party leader, Rylan.

"I can't believe how someone with no talent and Rank-F could have been with us for several years." A girl in the party, Meragine the sorceress, turned to Naxiel with great annoyance.

Naxiel held a magic pouch, quickly collecting all the loot that had been hunted by the party members.

"I know," he replied slowly. For him, the insults, like the burden of the party and being the weakest Rank-F, had already become second nature after being a hunter for 17 years.

He had joined the party when it was just awakened . His presence was only considered as a complement to meet the minimum party member requirement.

"Enough, Meragine." Focus on our mission. "Save your hatred for the monsters," Rylan said firmly.

They continued to step deeper into the dungeon. The sound of their footsteps echoed in the dark dungeon. The stone walls glimmered faintly thanks to the light crystals embedded within them.

"I don't understand why you're still in the party," said Meragine mockingly. "You are like trash that has no shame."

"Enough, Meragine." "Don't waste your times on him," said Darnax with a small laugh. "He won't change even if you insult him all day."

Suddenly, Naxiel stepped on a trap. "Klikk."The step caused the dimension to shatter and brought them to a mysterious place.

"Damn you, Naxiel, you always bring trouble to us," said Darnax Ren, who was a spearman in the party.

"You are right, you useless burden," Maragine said angrily.

"Enough. What kind of place is this, so dark?" said Rylan. "This is just a rank-C dungeon, but why is there a room like this?"

A dark aura suddenly filled the room. The sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the room, instilling a fear in the entire party that they had never felt before.

"Everyone, stay alert; we don't know what we will face," Rylan commanded. "Naxiel, don't get in our way."

However, before they could prepare, the room was illuminated by a very bright light. The room was filled with creatures standing around it.

The creatures did move .A little closer and closer, and their eyes were fixed on them. In front of them stood another creature of the same kind, but twice the height of the one at the edge of the room and more dignified. Like the existence of a god.

His eyes shone red, like embers. Every step of the creature in front of them moved as if the world was already in ruins.

"Giant...!" Rylen screamed. "Everyone get ready; we are going to—"

Before Rylan could finish his words, a deep red light burst forth from the oversized hand. All the creatures at the edge raised the large swords in their hands.

One attack from that creature had already destroyed the room. Forcing them to scatter to avoid the attack.

Naxiel, who was scared, hid behind hid behind the shattered ruins. His heart was pounding, his breath was ragged.

Naxiel's attack wouldn't work on that giant even a little. His body was too stiff and afraid to move and fight.

Rylen looked towards the giant in front of them, and the surroundings closed in. Rylan hissed softly and gave the command. "We're going out now, or else... we'll all die."

"But what about Naxiel? He isn't moving," said Meragine, pointing towards Naxiel.

"We will leave him," Rylan replied coldly. "We will all die if we carry that burden." Meragine, freeze him if necessary."

Meragine fell silent and eventually used the 'frost' skill to freeze Naxiel and escape with her party from that dimension.

"Forgive me, Naxiel..." But I don't want to die here. Maybe in another life, you would be more useful.

"Wait, don't leave me here!" Naxiel screamed for help.

They kept running out of that dimension. In the end, the dimensional rift closed, leaving only Naxiel in that room.

When Naxiel was busy destroying Maregine's skills, all the creatures there surrounded him, led by that dignified being. His body trembled, and in his mind, only one thought crossed: I will die here.

When Naxiel was about to turn back, a large sword pierced towards his chest. His body was bleeding profusely. "Ahh...it's over," he said slowly. "I'm really unlucky, useless, and now betrayed by my party friends, damn."

"I want to be like a hero one day." But why don't I have the strength? Why do I have to live like this?"

"If only I could be reborn, I would surely—"

Naxiel's eyes slowly closed.

[You have been chosen.]

Suddenly, a blue light resembling a transparent screen appeared in front of him. Naxiel's slanted eyes looked at the light.

[Host has lost a life, ready to be revived.]

[Modifications have been made to the system.]

[Do you agree?]

In his final moments, Naxiel managed to say 'yes' in agreement with the mysterious light before he finally closed his eyes.

[Receiving the host's commands ]

The pain Naxiel experienced slowly faded away. In his mind, only one thing was on his mind: revenge.

[Leveling system active]
