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.

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?!

My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1

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.

She looks like the typical power-based build.

Hey, there's a second page.

Yes.

This is my drop status.

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.

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...

They're so low.

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.

Ryota acquired a bamboo spear.

This should work.

Here comes a slime.

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.

In that case, there's a town right outside the dungeon.

You can find lodging there.

I'm going to sleep soon myself.

Huh? In here?

Yes. My drops are all low,

so I don't earn a lot.

It's my dream to rent an apartment someday.

I see...

Oh! Take this with you!

Huh? Are you sure?

You'll have a hard time without a weapon.

Okay. I'll borrow this and return it someday.

Sure!

I'm always here in level 1 of Telulu.

What's your name?

Emily Brown.

Emily...

I'm Sato Ryota.

Hello... Yoda?

Sato Ryota!

I've never heard a name like that before.

I'm getting the idea now.

The currency here is "pilos."

Those bean sprouts are worth 200 pilos.

A room just to sleep in is 2,000 pilos a night.

A bowl of the closest thing they have to ramen is 500 pilos.

I've verified the prices of the things I want.

All that's left is...

Telulu Level 1

When I learned that I'm stuck at level 1,

I thought that I was in for hell again, where nothing I did would ever pay off.

But with this overpowered skill that puts all my drop rates at S...

I can make it work this time!

Huh?

What's this place?

I rented it with what I earned in three days.

Three days?!

That's amazing, Yoda!

Yeah, but it's just a run-down 87-year-old apartment,

so there's no deposit or key money.

It was the best I could do in three days.

That's still amazing!

How much does it cost?

Twenty thousand pilos a month.

Twenty thousand... That's amazing.

So amazing!

And... here's this.

What is it?

The key.

Huh? Why are you giving it to me?

Can't live here from now on without it.

Who's living here?

You are.

What?!

I'll cover all the rent, so don't worry about that.

B-But I can't accept this!

It's to thank you for the soup.

That soup was delicious...

and warm.

So I'm showing my gratitude. I wish it was a nicer place,

but I want you to live here.

All right.

Okay, I'll get going, then.

Your hands are covered in blisters.

Huh? Oh, sorry.

I might have gotten some blood on the spear you lent me,

but I'll wash it before I return it.

And you have bags under your eyes.

Once they clear up, that's when I'll really get started.

I'll...

make more soup.

Okay, then, I'll just take a bowl—

I'll make it for the rest of my life!

So please enjoy it with me!

Huh? D-Does that mean...

Is she asking me to live with her?

Can I do that?

Okay?

My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1

Uh... Upsy-daisy.

Here!

Seriously, how?!

Got more for you, Erza.

Sure. One moment, please.

You're, um... Drunken Sato?

It's Ryota!

Oh, I'm sorry.

You just have such a difficult name.

That's a total of 1,967 pilos.

Since you always bring in such large amounts,

I'll round it up to 2,000 this time.

Thanks.

But they're still just bean sprouts, so they don't fetch a lot, huh?

Maybe I'll try the second level of Telulu.

The monsters on the second level drop carrots.

That's surreal! Too surreal!

But that's just how things are in this world, I guess...

Oh, did you know about the new dungeon that came about recently?

What? Dungeons just... show up?

Yes, every now and then.

But the name is kind of difficult to say.

Nibo... No, that's not it...

Nihonium. That's the name, I think.

Nihonium?

That's easy to say.

Is it?

The Neptune Group is investigating what's dropped there,

so we'll know soon.

Neptune Group?

You don't know them?

They're the most powerful organization in Secro.

Huh...

Sorry for holding you up.

I'll be on my way.

Wait!

There's a new shop just out on the corner,

and they have delicious beer!

W-Would you like to go there with me today?

Beer, huh?

Sorry, I'll have to pass today.

See ya next time.

Y-Yes, next time...

Aw, shot down, huh? What a shame.

I-It wasn't anything like that!

It's been decades since I came home to a place where someone was waiting.

What do I say?

It's gotta be...

I-I'm how—

home.

Welcome home!

I-I'm home.

Yes, welcome home!

Is it me...

or is it a whole lot cleaner now?

Yes, I cleaned it up.

This goes way beyond just "cleaning up."

I shouldn't have?

It was my first time cleaning a place,

so I went all-out.

Here you go, Yoda. A hot towel.

Man, this feels great!

Thank you, Emily!

I also made tea.

You made tea, too?!

Yes. Have a seat and wait a moment.

You don't have to do all this.

Why don't you take a break?

You must be tired.

Being able to do things around my home is such a new feeling! I love it!

I'm not tired at all!

Okay, I guess...

By the way, I heard a new dungeon showed up.

It's called Nihonium.

I heard.

It's apparently a useless dungeon where nothing drops at all.

Nothing drops at all?

In a world where everything drops in dungeons,

the idea of one with no drops is even more intriguing.

Nihonium Level 1

No one's around.

It feels abandoned.

Maybe there really is nothing...

Huh?

I'm dead!

That's all I can do at level 1...

Am I really that weak?

What's that?

A seed?

Ryota's max HP increased by 1.

Ryota's max HP increased by 1.

Huh?

Huh?!

What?!

"Ryota" Level 1/1 Status HP C MP F Strength F Vitality F Intelligence F Will F Speed F Dexterity F Luck F

You're amazing, Ryota!

It really did.

So that seed's effect was real.

I thought this just might work, so I killed a ton of skeletons.

Then Emily joined me, so we did some research and learned a few things.

When Emily killed a skeleton, the seed didn't drop.

When she tries to pick up a seed from one of my kills,

her hand passes right through it.

And I'm the only one who can hear that voice.

Ryota's max HP increased by 1.

Ryota's max HP increased by 1.

This can't be possible.

She's right.

In this world, drops that only certain people can touch

will throw off the balance of things.

So they shouldn't even exist at all.

And yet... there it was.

Amazing!

I've never heard of anyone getting stronger without leveling up!

In other words, Nihonium here...

is a stat-increasing dungeon for S-ranks only!

Yum! Emily's house is the best!

Ryota, will you be out late again tonight?

Yeah. After busting my butt in Nihonium so much lately,

my max HP finally made it up to rank S.

So today I'm gonna go to level 2 of Telulu

and see how much stronger I am.

What? Why are you making that face?

Please don't be too reckless.

Huh?

You do tend to be reckless.

When you first rented this apartment, you looked exhausted.

And you've been out late every night recently.

I'd like you to come home at night, if you can.

Back then, no one worried about me at all.

But now...

All right. I'll be back before nightfall.

Okay!

A Sleepy Slime appeared.

Wait, that didn't hurt at all.

I get it!

So this is what it means to have S-rank HP!

It really did drop a carrot!

And it's huge.

It's smaller than mine...

What're you doing just standing there?

Is a newbie like you really ready for level 2?

I'll check his status.

Easy Scan.

Level 1...

Better get back to the first level if you don't wanna die.

What's with those guys?

Are those ears...

natural?

Level 1?

Who, me?

Yeah, I am level 1.

I hate low levels.

Wh-What was that?

What the heck was that?!

What big carrots!

They really liked them at The Swallow's Gratitude,

so they bought them for 8,000 pilos!

You made 8,000 pilos in one day?

Wow...

A month of that would give me 240,000 pilos.

That's more than I was making in my old job!

I kept enough for us to eat.

I'll make something tasty with them!

Yes?

The girl from before...

I hate low levels.

Uh, was it really necessary to come to my house for that?

What? You need something?

I wuv you.

Wha...

What?!

Huh?
