※Volume 6 is now on sale from Hero Bunko!

In an era where monsters run rampant, even farmers had to fight, wielding hoes. It was said that upon reaching 15 years of age, one would contract with a goddess and receive special blessings—skills and a profession.

The young Fonsie, along with his childhood friend Feeritia, underwent the goddess's contract ritual. However, Feeritia was granted the Hero profession, while Fonsie received only the Villager profession. Not only that, but he also received an unfortunate skill: "Experience Gain 1/100."

While Feeritia embarked on her journey as a Hero, Fonsie, the villager, diligently worked to raise his level. Though he was on the verge of giving up, that very skill proved to be the stepping stone to becoming the strongest.
