Abilities
Although he works for a black company, he is transferred to another world due to death from overwork. In the other world, the level does not rise from 1, but the drop status is S rank, and the owner of the skill says "If you defeat a monster, an item that should not exist in that world will drop". Despite being level 1, Ryouta works very hard to achieve what is on his mind. His level never rises, but Ryouta's parameter will rise with every monster he kills and drops a seed (Seed of Power) that makes his parameter rise. Ryouta also trains himself in the self-taught martial art "Gun Fu" to defend himself, his favored weapon is a wild west handgun (like an; R-357 revolver). The drop rate of the monster (normal to Rare) was different on every floor of the dungeon. Each monster has a different item that will drop when it slays from a lower-ranking dungeon to the highest-ranking dungeon. The monster drop item has a 10% chance to drop twice. The skill is always active, and for every normal monster to the rare monster that Ryouta defeats, it will drop an item 100% of the time, but when the rouge monster is slain by Ryouta, it drops an item only for him.
