"Kyle, we have no need for an incompetent like you!"

"N-No! Wait! I'm...!"

A decade had swiftly passed since he was expelled from a certain party. Kyle had been working as a solo adventurer. Generally, an adventurer's peak is at 25, and from there, their abilities typically decline. Ultimately, most adventurers retire by the age of 30.

Kyle is currently just turned thirty.

Somehow, he was one-shotting S-rank monsters.

Although he was earning money, Kyle, fearing his own abilities, decided to get a health check-up for the first time in a long while. He thought that perhaps he had been afflicted with a curse or debuff that would make him temporarily strong, but ultimately lead to his death.

However, everything Kyle had predicted was wrong.

"As a result of the detailed examination, we've found that your unique skill, [Late Bloomer], has awakened."

What had happened to Kyle was the awakening of a unique skill that manifested long ago: [Stats Increase Slightly Each Day]. Kyle, learning that it was neither a curse nor a debuff, accepted the party invitations he had been continuously declining, and decided to live a second life.
