Mapping: The Trash-Tier Skill That Got Me Into a Top-Tier Party: Series

Note Athlon was really looking forward to becoming an adventurer with his best friend (and crush) Miya. That is, until he drew Mapping—a rare skill with practically no purpose. In other words, it’s trash. This kicks off a vicious spiral for Note, who plummets further and further into the depths of self-loathing despair when Miya leaves him. He now spends his days drinking away his earnings, wondering how things might have been different if only he’d pulled a better skill... But little does he know his trash-tier skill is about to score him an invite to a top-tier adventuring party! Note’s now determined to find his way through life—and a dungeon!—in order to make something of himself.

Note has managed to land himself a spot in a top-tier party, but even greater challenges await as his training ramps up. The Arrivers set foot in the dungeon for the first time in six months, and Note has to work twice as hard to keep up with everyone... Little does he know that will be the least of his worries after he and Erin get separated from the group. When they find themselves on an unexplored floor, Note will have to put his mettle to the test and use everything he’s learned to get them out alive.

Now that the Arrivers have been reunited, a familiar yet daunting task lies ahead of them: returning to the dungeon. Recent events have made them all a little wary, and Jin decides it’s time for Note to try his hand at combat arts... but our protagonist may end up learning more than he bargained for. Can Note finally grow into his own as a full-fledged member of the Arrivers? Or will a rematch with floor 20 prove too much? It’s do or die, and damned if he isn’t going to try!
