Although he wasn’t able to raise his level, he had a unique skill that can create a cheat-like item that shouldn't exist in the world Knowing this, he maxed out his stats with the help of ability-up items, and he gathered a number of weapons and items that can only be used by himself, which made him have the strongest stats and gear despite being level 1.

Although he works for a black company, he is transferred to another world due to death from overwork.

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.

When it comes to non-moving objects or living things, they can be pierced by the trash bullet that pushes everything away and disappears.
