Monster Eater

Rude is an adventurer who makes a living by collecting medicinal herbs in dungeons filled with miasma, relying on his unique skill of “abnormal status nullification.” Because of this, other adventurers avoid him because he smells like miasma, and he cannot form a party, so he is derided as a “miasma diver.” Then, a new labyrinth is discovered, and Rude is invited to join a party that needs him as a baggage carrier. In order to change the situation, he challenges the labyrinth. However, after encountering a powerful monster in the labyrinth, the adventurers who accompanied him betray Rude and are abandoned as a decoy… After a life-or-death battle with the monster, he is injured, loses all his supplies, and is in a desperate situation. With the monster’s corpse lying before him, Rude tries to survive by gambling on the forbidden “monster food”… The more he eats, the stronger he becomes.

Nobody wants “Grubby Forager” Rudd on their adventuring team. His nickname—and his stench—come from his constant treks into the Noxious Labyrinth to gather medicinal herbs, a job he survives only thanks to his status immunity skill. When he’s finally recruited as a party porter, things seem to be looking up… Until a deadly dungeon monster appears and his fake allies use him as bait before abandoning him! Wounded, destitute, and barely surviving the attack, Rudd breaks a forbidden taboo to stay alive: eating monsters. But the more he devours, the more power he gains, kicking off a thrilling, adventurous gourmet fantasy!
