Level 1 dakedo Unique Skill de Saikyou desu (My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1)

What did I just hear?

It sounded like a video game sound effect.

So tired...

I don't wanna get up...

Are you... a human?

But you're a drop, so...

I get it.

It's a human-shaped piece of meat.

I'll try cutting it up.

Telulu Level 1

Wait just a minute!

Y-You scared me!

So you really are a human?

I feel like that should be obvious!

But why did a slime drop a human on death?

A slime? Drop?

It doesn't make sense.

They normally drop bean sprouts.

What is all this about slimes and drops?

Are you actually sane?

You really don't know?

For real, what are you talking about?

Watch me for a minute.

m 5 0 l 240 0 l 245 5 l 245 42 l 240 47 l 5 47 l 0 42 l 0 5 l 5 0

A slime appeared.

A slime?

Whoa, careful!

Hey!

I'm just... fine!

Why are there bean sprouts?!

The slimes on level 1 of Telulu drop bean sprouts.

That's common knowledge.

Not any knowledge I've ever heard of.

What is this?! What's going on?!

What the hell is going on here?!

He's a Human That Was Dropped by a Slime

So... is that how bean sprouts are made?

Well, bean sprouts...

and everything else, really.

Everything?

Everything in this world is dropped by monsters in dungeons.

You really don't know anything, do you?

Hey...

Yes?

So we're not in Japan?

Japan?

But we're on Earth, right?

Earth?

What is going on here?

It seems like you've been killing nothing but slimes.

Aren't you gonna kill anything else?

Slimes are the only monsters on level 1 of Telulu.

So you're not going to any other levels?

I'm too weak.

You don't look weak to me...

If I level up some, I might be able to go to level 2.

Level? You can level up?

Sure.

Oh! Want to see?

Here it is.

Here what is?

This is a status board.

This is my current status.

It really is just like a video game.

Her HP is rated B, and her strength is C...

And the rest... hmm...

She looks like the typical power-based build.

Hey, there's a second page.

Yes.

This is my drop status.

"Emily"

Drop Status

What does it mean when these stats are high?

High levels make it easier to get drops,

and increases the quantities you get.

My highest level is in plants,

so I'm getting bean sprouts here.

I wouldn't call this "high."

Just higher than the other ones.

Want to try it?

Sure.

Do I just touch it?

Yes.

Your abilities are very low.

Level 1...

Does this mean the highest level I can ever reach is 1?

That is what it means, yes.

Yo, come on...

Your drop status is quite sad, too.

I don't have anything going for me at all.

Let's see... A, B, C, D, E, F...

Q, R, S...

They're so low.

Huh?

With levels this low, you might not get any drops at all.

Wait a minute! S is low?

Huh? Well, it's...

Wait, my impression is that S is higher than A.

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K...

Is it different here?

I'll try it out.

What are you looking for?

I'd like to find something that'll work as a weapon.

Want to use mine?

Thank—

What does this weigh, a hundred kilos?

I-I'm sorry!

How about this one?

Ryota acquired a bamboo spear.

m 5 0 l 240 0 l 245 5 l 245 42 l 240 47 l 5 47 l 0 42 l 0 5 l 5 0

Ryota acquired a bamboo spear.

This should work.

Here comes a slime.

m 5 0 l 240 0 l 245 5 l 245 42 l 240 47 l 5 47 l 0 42 l 0 5 l 5 0

A slime appeared.

All right!

You did it!

W-Wow!

Have you ever gotten this many in a drop?

No!

I've been here about two years, and I've never seen a drop like this.

Which must mean S really is above A.

Have you seen the S rating anywhere else?

No, I haven't.

I've never even heard of it.

I see...

Let's eat together.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Let's dig in.

This is great!

The subtle spice of the chili oil dressing is just right for the crispy bean sprouts!

This would be a perfect beer snack!

Really?

You don't drink?

No. Liquor is very expensive, so I can't even afford it.

Try this, too.

Thanks.

It's warm...

Wh-What's the matter?!

Does it taste bad?!

No, that's not it.

It's just been so long since I sat down to eat a warm meal

with someone else.

I left early every morning

and got home late every night after doing unpaid overtime,

so I'd just wolf down something cold from the convenience store.

It ruined my health. I was even hospitalized.

Then I thought I needed to make up for lost time.

So I worked overtime again, and missed the last train, so I took a nap...

And the next thing I knew, I was dropped by a slime.

For real, nothing I did ever paid off in any way.

Every day was hell.

This is something I once heard.

One's efforts will always pay off in the end.

How quickly or slowly it happens may vary,

but those who work hard will always be rewarded.

Even better,

the longer you work hard without being rewarded,

the greater your reward will be.

It's like the tension in your thumb when you're about to flick someone's forehead.

The greater the tension, the stronger the flick.

So the most amazing way to do it

is to be reborn and get your reward in your next life.

I think you worked very hard,

so all that's left for you now

is to be rewarded.

Thanks.

I guess I should look for a place to stay.
