However, the one he hated the most, to the point of rage, was himself. The reality was that his body was too powerless. If he had been stronger, his father wouldnt have died and he wouldnt have fled by himself, failing his clumsy father.


    Stronger. I want to get stronger!


    This was his hope, but it had been crushed by possessing the Role of Viger.


    The one that killed his father was a Level 34 Monster called a Devil Liger. It had purple, devil-like skin and was a formidable enemy. Its hindlegs acted like a spring, enabling it to pounce with overwhelming speed and strike at its enemies with its sharp fangs. It was something he couldntpete with even if he struggled against it.


    Even though it was necessary to be stronger to defeat this Monster, it was impossible for Vigers who could not be stronger than the wall that was known as Goblins.


    He didnt know what to do with the anger rising up inside of him. Why was he born as a Viger? Why IS it a Viger? He had no way to relieve his anger, so Kagami devoted himself to hitting Moss Goblins. At the same time, he became miserable.


    Despite how there were Monsters that needed to be defeated, he could not defeat them. In his misery, he continued defeating weaker Monsters, from the safest of ces and by the safest of methods.


    He couldnt help feeling frustrated. Thats why Kagami challenged Moss Goblins in closebat, with the resolve to die.


    Due to his deep hatred against monsters, he refused to give up just because he was an inferior existence.


    If he wasnt strong enough to win, he would rather be reborn with a different Role, is what Kagami thought.


    The equipment he had bought to defeat Monsters, from the money he had earned until now, was: the Leather armor wrapped around his body, a Buckler held in his left hand, and a sword on his torso that he had never used before. He faced the Moss Goblins with his buckler firmly nted on the ground.


    Immediately after, the Buckler was knocked out of his hands. The force of the charge that could not be fully nullified hit Kagamis entire body. He vomited blood and felt massive pain, as if his internal organs had been crushed.


    Kagami understood the overwhelming weakness of Vigers once again.


    Even though he was at the same Level 4, there was aplete difference in real strength between Moss Goblins and himself.


    Youre fucking kidding me.


    Even so, Kagami didnt want to admit it. He didnt want to give up. He was attacked by Moss Goblins again and again as his small body was torn to shreds.


    In the end, he exhausted his recovery items and was left semi-conscious, with 10 HP remaining. However, even though one attack was enough to defeat him, Kagami did not give up and defeated the Moss Goblins, turning them into gold.


    At this moment, Kagami was wrapped with unspeakable difort, causing him to panic. When he opened his Status Window, he shed a single tear.


    Even if he defeated Level 4 Moss Goblins, he wouldnt obtain exp, but Kagamis Level had still risen to Level 5. That was when he realized something about this worlds system.


    Even if you continue to y weak enemies, your level wont rise


    As the name implies, exp is only a numerical value that indicates yourbat experience


    Even if you defeat enemies equal to yourself with the help of a strong person, exp wont be obtained


    Exp is only given when an enemy is defeated by one who deserves obtainable exp


    There was a loophole in these four rules. No, should it be said that the Roles were created in order to fill this hole?


    Exp would not be obtained even if you continued to defeat those of the same Level. This was this worlds system, and it was well known. However, there was another way to obtain exp.


    One of the exps system existed within a separate vector, based on the definition of Levels. This was to participate in a higher level battle. However, rather than it being against a higher Level, it referred to the difficulty ofbat.


    To give a simple example, long range attacks were overwhelmingly strong against Moss Goblins, since they couldnt attack with long range. If one continued to attack them at long range, they wouldnt be a higher level.


    When one faced an opponent that was superior in closebat and challenged them at close range, it would be established as a more difficult battle.


    Would any Role besides the Viger fight a battle against Monsters of the same Level while limited to a Roles weakness? The answer would probably be no. That was why no one had learned of this system until now.


    No one else would fight such an unfavorable battle.


    If they fought an unfavorable battle, it would only be against Monsters of a higher level. Forming a party to fight together wouldpensate for that disadvantage. They would be stronger by getting exp from the Level gap.


    For magicians, if they challenged Monsters of the same level with their fists, perhaps they could earn this exp. However, would such a person challenge that kind of disadvantageous battle? Was it worth risking their lives, despite their higher chance of victory when utilizing magic?


    It wasnt much of a level up if one became ragged in the first ce.


    This ragged Role was the overwhelmingly disadvantageous Viger; the Role that was most easily able to gain this exp and also had the highest risk of death.


    Although it was expected that the Viger would grow faster than any other Role, it was still a Role that had a high risk of death associated with that growth.


    That was the Viger.


    Hahahahahahahahaha! Ahahahaha!


    When he noticed this, Kagamiughed gloriously and smiled mischievously.


    It had been prepared. The fate of the Viger was set to a path of bloodshed.


    It was a new field that had opened up to him because he was a Viger, and it was a great benefit that he could obtain because he was a Viger. Kagami continued tough as though he was a broken doll.


    Ill do itIll kill them. Monsters, Demons tooIll kill them all!


    From then on, Kagami continued to fight, risking death every day, to the extent that it could be said that he had lived an imcable life.


    He continued to do this every day, as if he waspletely obsessed and couldnt do anything else. He would fight until his HP dropped to 10, fleeing when he was at deaths door, and steadily earned exp.


    It was simple. He fought with his life on the line, not caring if he was defeated or not.


    He yed with opponents who were capable of freezing people by exploiting their fear, even to the extent of losing their life. There wasnt a single day where Kagami was not near death.


    I did itfinally, I finally did it!


    The day Kagami turned nine, he sessfully killed the Monster, Devil Liger, that had killed his father.


    Kagami, who was Level 53, made full use of his equipped Dagger and took down the three Devil Ligers surrounding him without dying.


    Kagamis hands trembled and he was joyous enough to cry out. At the same time, he cherished the feeling of hope. If he continued like this, it would not just be Devil Ligers. Surely, even the Demon King would be defeated by him, instead of the Hero. This was what he had begun to think.


    Thats right, in the beginning, it was nothing more than revenge for his father. Back then, it was the prologue to the eradication of Demons and Monsters. No longer did Kagami fear death. He would go as far as he could go, and he didnt care what would be of himter. Yes, these were his thoughts.


    However, before he finally took his revenge, he decided to report to his mother, who had always supported him in his reckless endeavors. Kagami hurried back to the vige after defeating the Devil Ligerbut he did not arrive at his house. His house was not there.


    The vige had been reduced to rubble by a bandit attack.


    Originally, it was a vige in a remote region, far away from the Imperial City. Therefore, there had been no attacks by bandits in the past. Additionally, since the vige wasnt wealthy, perhaps they wouldnt have been attackedand only a select few people could be hired as escorts.


    The result was that his mother was killed by humans.


    Kagami, who had arrived at the vige, sat down on the spot,cking the energy to do anything. He had focused too much on his training and hadnt thought about the possibility of a situation like this happening. If he was to pass by as a guard, with no equipment or earned moneyregrettably, at thiste hour, he could only gaze at his mothers corpse, stunned.


    The father he respected was killed by Monsters.


    The mother he revered was killed by humans.


    Staring at his mothers corpse, many thoughts began to swirl around in his head. Why had it be like this? Was it fine for him to be depressed at this? Were there no other methods to avoid this?


    Then Kagami remembered the first time he had defeated a Green Slime. It was then that he remembered that he could do something about this. In fact, that was the answer to everything that had happened here.


    Imsuch an idiot.


    These were thest words Kagami muttered in that vige.
