Isekai, Comedy, Adventure, Fantasy, Action

This reliable, forty-something adventurer might be too adored by his party?

Soshi, a former corporate slave now in his forties, was transported to another world that feels just like a game. There, he became an ‘Awakener,’ a person capable of using skills.

Although the skills he learns are all focused on physical prowess, he diligently grinds his levels, conquers dungeon bosses, and acquires new abilities. By steadily putting in the effort, he finds that a single swing of his mace now packs an absurd amount of power!

He’s even getting promoted through the adventurer ranks at record speed?!

Amidst all this, he ends up partying with a young girl who was abandoned by her former comrades for being ‘useless.’ But under Soshi’s guidance, might her own talents begin to blossom?
