A hero was regarded as a savior in this world.

Yet, unlike her glorious days now, Kang Su-jin's previous life was not particularly remarkable.

Born into an ordinary family and raised in an ordinary neighborhood, she had decent friendships and grades at school...

Such a human nature was common everywhere, but ironically, the world deemed this ordinariness a sin and branded her a failure.

No matter how hard she tried, she lived a life that couldn't reach the 'average' touted by society.

As much as she had been desperately thirsty for it, it was natural that the uniqueness she finally grasped felt increasingly special.

'It's still not enough. To climb higher from here, this much is insufficient.'

Perhaps she thought of the society that condemned mediocrity?

Feeling impatient, believing even her current achievements fell short of other heroes' average, she knew she needed significant results to gain support from the residents of this world.

For Kang Su-jin, who even found that slow, the prospect of being with those possessing valuable equipment was a powerful temptation in itself...

'Well, nothing strange about it, right? Precious equipment would benefit the world more in the hands of heroes like me than in those of mere adventurers.'

In a world where people died like trash, and everyone called her a hero, what was wrong with removing those who couldn't even become heroes and moving forward?

Moreover, the place she would soon be heading to was a lawless area outside the empire.

As long as there were no witnesses, her actions wouldn't be a problem since she wouldn't break any laws.

'If I get the chance, I'll take everything. Not just from the fallen heroes, but from everyone I meet.'

Hiding these thoughts, she finally arrived at a VIP room inside a guild's tavern.

There, the ones waiting were adventurers specially selected and recommended by the guild.

"Ah, the hero has arrived."

"Hehe, yes. Has everyone gathered?"

Each one of them was high-ranked and a veteran with a mission success rate of over 80%.

Their presence alone, unlike the begging fallen heroes, would prove to the world the grandeur and high expectations she possessed.

"Nice to meet you all. Since we've met like this, let's start with introductions."

And since they know the status of a hero, they would surely understand her intentions and would not hesitate to cooperate.

With that confidence, Kang Su-jin soon boldly stood before them and spoke.

"My name is Kang Su-jin, the hero who will be working with you all. Let's successfully complete the dungeon conquest by working together."

An introduction as confident as the equipment she wore.

Then, the adventurers who would be accompanying her introduced themselves politely.

"I'm Conan."

"My name is Kim Jeon-il."

And the next day.

As I set out to explore the planned dungeon, I came across a group of corpses, presumed to be a green-haired woman and her party members.

Presumably, it was a body of a hero who came from the same world as me.

"Eek!!"

The party leader gasped and swallowed hard upon seeing the corpses.
