I'm Just Level 1

章 1: Tower Called Dungeon

"Oi…! Level 1, let's go."

A man shouted at the young man who was carrying a fairly large bag, the bag was even bigger than his body. Everyone noticed the figure of the small young man who was carrying a large bag.

"Hey, can you at least walk faster?"Said a woman with blonde hair who sounded annoyed because the young man was walking quite slowly.

"I'm sorry…"

The young man could only smile because this was his job. No matter how you looked at it, the young man was not strong enough to lift the large bag containing the equipment of the adventurers who hired his services.

"We hired your services because we feel quite sorry for you who are only level 1, you should be grateful to us..."

The blonde woman did not hesitate to say this to the young man whose legs could be seen shaking because of holding the weight of the large bag.

"Thank you for your kindness, miss…"

The young man could only smile while holding the weight of the bag he was carrying.

What the blonde woman said to him was very true, he was just a lowly adventurer with an F rank. He had been an adventurer since a year ago and no matter how many times he went in and out of the ground floor dungeonhe did not experience an increase in either his level or status. Only the number 1 appears on his adventurer card display.

"Hey, hey, that's enough, don't be too harsh on this young man,"

One of the woman's colleagues tried to calm the blonde woman who was scolding the young man.

"Whatever... Don't make us wait for you, brat..."

After saying that, the blonde woman left, leaving the young man and one of the men who was her colleague.

"I'm sorry for what my colleague said, kid."

The man bowed slightly towards the young man.

"N-no, no, don't apologize like that…"

The young man felt embarrassed when the man with short brown hair lowered his head while apologizing for the action he didn't take.

"…Well, if you put it that way, kid."

The man looked like someone in his late 30s and compared to the other party members, only the brown-haired man seemed kind to the young man.

"Hey, old man! Come quickly here! The dungeon door will be opened soon!"

Call someone in a loud tone to the brown-haired man.

"…Yeah…! I'll be there soon," the middle-aged man responded to the words of the young man who was one of his colleagues. "Okay, let's hurry there..." The middle-aged man asked the young man who was carrying a large bag.

"A-alright…"

"Hey, are you okay carrying such a big bag? If you want, I can help you."

The middle-aged man couldn't bear to see the figure of a young man carrying a large bag that even exceeded his small body size.

"T-thank you for your attention..."

The young man walked slowly while holding the weight of the bag he was carrying. "However, your party members has already paid me 500 zeni to be your party's courier today so, I don't want to messing up the job your party has given me." With a smile that looked quite troubled, the young man continued his footsteps towards the party who paid for his services.

500 Zeni was considered very cheap and no matter what, the young man could only accept it because none of the other parties wanted to accept Rank F and plus he was only level 1.

"Okay, if you put it like that, kid." The middle-aged man couldn't help but sympathize with the young man.

It can be seen that there are already many people who also work as adventurers gathering in front of the entrance to the tower which is called the dungeon.

There were several people in black suits standing next to the dungeon door. They are workers from the Adventurer's Association whose job is to pay attention to the safety of adventurers both inside and outside the dungeon because the death rate for adventurers is very high and this profession also generates quite a lot of money as well as the risks.

However, that didn't apply to the young man who was carrying a very large bag. He was even prohibited from entering the dungeon alone because his level and status were only level 1. People from the adventurer association advised him to stop being an adventurer and try to find a job other than being an adventurer because he had not improved in terms of status or his adventurer rank.

At least by being a courier who was paid quite cheaply, he could at least enter the dungeon and learn about the dungeon, how to fight and also leaarn every monsters on each floor. Although during his time as a courier he had at least been on the 15th floor of the dungeon which he was currently about to explore together with the party who hired him today.

"Okay, this time we will try starting from the 20th floor and working our way to the 25th floor…"

The blonde man looked quite optimistic when he explained their party's exploration plans for today.

"E-excuse me…." In a low voice, the young man who was a courier raised his hand with a hesitant tone of voice.

"What is it?"

"I-isn't it, the association forbids D rank adventurers from exploring the 20th floor?"

"Yes, I agree with what this kid said."

The middle-aged man who tried to offer help also opposed the decision of the man who looked optimistic.

"Hey…! You know, Kyle is a D rank adventurer who will soon be promoted to C rank, so just listen to what Kyle says."

The woman who shouted at the young man was annoyed with the two of them because they opposed the decision of the man named Kyle who was also the party leader this time.

"Listen old man, you are just an E rank adventurer. If our members weren't sick right now we wouldn't ask you to be our member temporarily."
