Year: 2017
Chapters: 108

In this world, the concept of levels exist. Other than those who live off defeating monsters, most people are only around Level 1 to 5. What's more, not just anyone can go out to hunt monsters; it's heavily influenced by one's role appointed by God. There are eight such eligible roles: warriors, fighters, clerics, magicians, rogues, merchants, hunters, and sorcerers. Those blessed with extraordinary power are divided into three types: royalty, heroes, and sages. But for the majority of the population, they have no such powers and live by farming or running shops. Towns are developed by those with the weakest role: villagers. For the powerless villagers going out to hunt monsters is equivalent to committing suicide. But one day, a certain two-year-old child given the role of villager notices something: once you defeat a monster... you can earn great wealth.
