Eighteen-year-old Oliver Shaw is just your average, introverted high school student. No friends, no presence, no future. His life of quiet classroom corners and late-night games is turned upside down when his entire class is suddenly summoned to a fantasy world.

There, they're hailed as heroes — champions chosen by the Goddess to defeat the Demon King and save the world from destruction.

But while his classmates awaken powerful combat skills and legendary classes, Oliver is given… Linguist.
An F-rank support skill with no combat abilities and no future. Just a single line of description: "Can understand any language."

Mocked, ignored, and ultimately cast aside, Oliver finds himself abandoned at the edge of death.

But in the silence where others hear nothing… he begins to hear everything.

Now, in a world shaped by words and magic, the boy they left behind may hold the one skill that can break it all.

The next morning, the Safe Zone felt less like a sanctuary and more like a courtroom waiting for a verdict.


Oliver was the first to rise. He dismantled the tent with a flick of his wrist, storing it away. Amy stood beside him, folding blankets with the domestic energy of a newlywed wife, humming a soft tune. She made a point of ignoring the other side of the room completely.


On the other side, the mood was funeral-somber.


William had managed to heal the worst of the damage with mid-tier potions, but his face was still a mess of yellowing bruises, and his left wrist was wrapped heavily in bandages. He didn't speak. He moved stiffly, his eyes fixed on the floor, radiating a dark, brooding silence.


Daniel looked exhausted. He tried to rally his team.


"Alright, listen up," Daniel called out, his voice echoing a bit too loudly. "We descend to Floor 31. I know yesterday was... rough. But we have a mission. We are the Heroes. Let's act like it."
