Synopsis

The protagonist learns his mother is healthy and has gained the ability to use items due to an elixir, and is subsequently asked to join a B-rank squad to investigate a lost C-rank team, possibly linked to a dangerous floor guardian who absorbs player power. He settles his huge debt and meets with his mentor, and is shocked to find he has grown taller and much stronger due to the elixir, surpassing even previous physical limits. Finally, the protagonist's physical examination confirms that he is now at a power level far beyond human standards.
