The F-rank Spellsword

Gloria Frost has spent nine years at the bottom. As an F‑Rank awakener overshadowed by her A‑Rank brother, she learned early that the world had no place for someone like her. Tired of the comparisons, she abandoned her village and survived through thievery, stealth, and staying invisible.

On her way to the city in search of simple work, a dungeon anomaly opens beneath her feet and drags her underground. With no party, no supplies, and a skill barely worth mentioning, Gloria expects to die in the dark.

She fights through the dungeon using wit and stubbornness, until the boss room ends her luck.

An arrogant S‑Rank awakener appears, saves her life, and leaves the loot behind. Among the spoils is a strange orb Gloria assumes is an HP‑restore item... and uses without hesitation.

What follows marks the beginning of her rise.

As Gloria climbs from the bottom, she'll face dungeons, dangerous awakeners, ordinary humans with extraordinary grudges, and a threat powerful enough to destroy everything-including the brother who once overshadowed her.

And somewhere out there, the S‑Rank who dismissed her is about to realize the "trash" he threw away wasn't trash at all.
