Summoned To Another World, With The Lowest Stats

Ranking to B

Ethan, Aria, and Elara stood before the quest board, their eyes scanning the available jobs. Having just ranked up to E rank, they were eager to continue their ascent. The previous night's battle had ignited a newfound determination within them.

"We need to focus on higher-level quests," Ethan said, his voice filled with resolve. "The faster we complete them, the sooner we can rank up."

Aria nodded, her gaze sharp. "Agreed. We need to prove ourselves."

Elara, ever observant, pointed to a series of E and D rank quests. "These look promising. They should give us a good mix of challenges and rewards."

Ethan's eyes settled on a D rank quest that caught his attention: "Hunt Down the Bandit Leader." The reward was substantial—50 gold coins and a rare weapon.

"This one looks like it could be worth our time," Ethan said, pointing to the quest.

Aria and Elara agreed, and they set off to gather information about the bandits. They visited the local guard captain, who provided them with details about the bandits' hideout in the nearby mountains.

The journey to the bandits' hideout was treacherous, but the trio moved with confidence and skill. As they approached the hideout, they noticed sentries posted around the perimeter.

"We need to take them out quietly," Elara whispered, her eyes narrowing as she assessed the situation.

Ethan nodded. "Elara, you handle the sentries. Aria and I will follow you in."

With the grace of a shadow, Elara moved through the trees, her bow at the ready. One by one, the sentries fell, arrows piercing their throats before they could sound the alarm.

Ethan and Aria followed closely behind, ensuring the path was clear. They reached the entrance to the hideout and found the main hall filled with bandits.

"Let's do this," Ethan said, drawing his sword.

The fight was intense. Ethan's swordsmanship was precise and deadly, cutting down bandits with ease. Aria's magic provided support, her spells striking with pinpoint accuracy. Elara's arrows flew true, taking out key targets.

The bandit leader, a burly man with a scar running down his face, proved to be a formidable opponent. He wielded a massive axe and fought with surprising skill.

Ethan engaged the leader, their weapons clashing with sparks flying. "You're going down," Ethan growled.

The leader sneered. "We'll see about that."

With a roar, the leader swung his axe in a wide arc. Ethan dodged and countered with a swift strike, his blade biting into the leader's side. Aria cast a spell that immobilized the leader for a moment, giving Ethan the opening he needed. With a powerful slash, he brought the bandit leader to his knees.

"It's over," Ethan said, delivering the final blow.

With the leader defeated, the remaining bandits surrendered. They gathered the loot and returned to the guild, where they handed in the quest and received their reward.

The next few weeks were a whirlwind of activity. Ethan, Aria, and Elara took on numerous quests, each one more challenging than the last. They tackled D rank quests with increasing confidence, from slaying dangerous beasts to escorting high-profile merchants.

One particularly memorable quest involved retrieving a stolen artifact from a group of rogue mages. The mages had taken refuge in an abandoned castle, and the trio had to navigate through numerous traps and magical barriers.

"Watch out for that glyph!" Aria warned as they approached a heavily warded door.

Ethan studied the glyph, recognizing its nature. "It's a fire trap. Elara, can you disarm it?"
