Synopsis
The story centers around Anri, a struggling and low-level adventurer who takes on quests to support his younger sister. After being unceremoniously abandoned by his party due to his underwhelming "Evasion" skill, Anri stumbles upon a game-breaking exploit: by activating his evasion technique to clip straight through walls, he can repeatedly trigger and farm first-time clear rewards indefinitely. Utilizing this exploit, he begins his rapid ascent from the absolute bottom, dramatically increasing his stats and acquiring ultra-rare loot along the way.
Background
Nikita Kitagawa initially launched the story as a web novel on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō platform in February 2021, later transitioning to a published light novel series featuring illustrations by Meto Sasame beginning in June 2022.
