ALL NOVEL The Strongest Solo Gamer with Terrible Social Skills Reincarnates as a Hated NPC in a VRMMO Chapter 27
27 Let’s Check Our Allies’ Status
After the transfer was complete, we returned to the second floor of ABYSS. The place we returned to was not where we had explored recently. While the magic terminal allowed for floor-specific transfers, it was basically random. It’s no wonder that our progress in conquering ABYSS has been slow.
“…Just to confirm, Kashinagi is the Attacker, and Aiba is the Tank, right?”
Confirming our roles is essential, especially when we’re with someone we’ve never teamed up with before.
“Yeah.”
“What will you do, Shouma?”
“…I guess I’ll be the Attacker?”
“What’s with that questioning tone?”
“I’ve only gone solo, so I don’t have any role or skills. You can assume I can do anything except Healing.”
I don’t know any recovery commands or skills, and I don’t have any items. I’m not capable of being a Healer.
“Then, I’ll have Shouma be the Attacker. I’ll take care of the enemy’s attacks as the Tank.”
“…I’ll be the Attacker. Don’t try to take the lead, okay? I’ll handle most of the enemies.”
“Okay, okay. I’ll leave it to you.”
I’m not sure if it’s concern or scorn, but I’m treated this way. As for me, I’m carrying a -30% debuff to all stats due to my passive skill’s solo action. If I don’t move, it’s not a big deal.
―But doing nothing and exploring is just a waste of time. This is a good opportunity, so I’ll take a look at Aiba’s current status. I took out the magic terminal from my pocket.
Let’s see… PT information…
――Oh! It’s out, it’s out!

…… Ugh, this guy’s strength is on a whole different level compared to Shouma’s. Not just his overall power, but the completeness of his skills from the initial state is ridiculous…….
Let’s take a look at his Personal Skills first.
○ Sense of Justice ★★☆
[As long as you continue to act justly (on the side of good), all stats receive a + correction. +10% per ★ level]
○ Passionate Soul ★★☆
[Adds a correction to physical strength. Less likely to be affected by status abnormalities like fatigue. +10% per ★ level]
○ Charisma ★★★
[Increases the rate of gaining favor with others, regardless of gender. +20% per ★ level]
…… What an enviable set of abilities he has? Sense of Justice and Passionate Soul are reliable stat-boosting skills with no demerits, and the effect of Passive Charisma is like a skill that only comes alive in this world. Is this the reason he’s so popular? No―― maybe he’s popular because he has skills like these……?
…… Next, let’s move on. Next…….
Oh, next is the Passive Skills section.
○ Group Action (Party Play) ★★★
[In a formation of two or more (two-man cell), all stats receive a + correction. – correction when solo. ±10% per ★ level]
○ Regeneration ★☆☆
[Increases automatic recovery rate. +10% per ★ level]
○ Auto Guard ★☆
[Unconsciously guards against enemy attacks. Auto guard rate +20% per ★ level]
These skills are pretty reliable. The skill composition prioritizes survival rate. [Group Action (Party Play)] is the opposite of my [Solo Play]. Generally, this one is more user-friendly. With [Regeneration] and [Auto Guard], Kanazaki Ayumu can be used as a tank from the early stages.
―― Next, let’s take a look at Kanazaki’s side.

――――――――――
Although the overall power is inferior to Akiha’s, being the second-in-command of 1-D, the numerical value itself is not bad. The physical strength being 5 is a bit concerning, but with agility, it can be covered, and it can still fight decently on the front lines. Unfortunately, the Tank role is not suitable. It’s better to use it as a pure Attacker.
Now, let’s move on to Personal Skills――
○ Taciturnity ★☆☆
[Enemies with auditory organs will have a harder time targeting me. +20% per level]
○ Beauty ★★☆
[The rate of increasing favorability towards the opposite s*x will rise. +10% per level]
○ Tolerance ★★☆
[Immunity to abnormal states such as anger will increase. +20% per level]
The notable one is Taciturnity―― rather than Beauty. Hate management is an essential skill for this fragile Attacker. It’s a shame that characters without this skill are hard to use, despite their low physical strength. In that regard, Jinzaki is commendable. Although it doesn’t work on golems with heat sensors or slime-type monsters without sensory organs, it’s a valuable skill that can target most monsters.
The other skills are mediocre. Beauty is limited to the opposite s*x, and the correction value is only +10%, which is not high compared to People Skills. It’s surprising that Jinzaki’s appearance is only ★2.
And finally, there’s Tolerance―― this one is the most mediocre. The mental state abnormality “Anger” is a debuff that increases physical strength but limits actions to only direct attacks. It’s a troublesome abnormal state, but there are strategies that utilize it, and the upper-level equivalent “Fury” can’t be defended against, making it still mediocre. The effect content is somehow half-baked. If I acquire a new skill, I’ll prioritize replacing this one.
Next are the Passive Skills.
This side is luxurious, isn’t it? 〜〜？
○ Natural Fire God’s Flow ★★★
[When equipped with a sword, the final damage value will increase. +10% per level]
○ Mirror-like Reflection ★☆☆
[Technique and agility will increase, and critical rate will be corrected. +20% per level]
○ Deception Work ★★☆
[Can disguise one’s own information. +1 item per level]
Jinzaki’s unique skill, Natural Fire God’s Flow, is incredibly broken. The final damage value is the sum of one’s own physical strength and the opponent’s defense. It’s a value that can be added to the calculated damage after considering various corrections such as species values, weapon types, and armor. … In short, it’s a skill that provides a significant advantage, more so than any “physical strength increase” skill.
The Mirror-like Reflection below is also a rare and powerful skill, although not unique. It’s a composite system that increases stats and critical rate. Although it’s only ★1, I think it’s still a skill with a sufficient effect.
Finally, there’s Deception Work―― this one is quite tricky. Its main role is probably disguising weapon types? Since Natural Fire God’s Flow is a limited skill that only works when equipped with a sword, using Deception Work to disguise the weapon type would allow it to take effect even when equipped with a one-handed sword.
[Usable when equipped with a sword. A technique that targets a single enemy and cuts off their body parts. ★Level increases damage value by 10%, and usable count by 5.]
This is Kanzaki’s unique skill. It’s rare for someone to learn a command skill from the start. Although the usage conditions are limited, combining it with the aforementioned “Deception” would make it seem like it’s not there. The 10% increase in damage value is ordinary for a command skill. By the way, it’s not the final damage value, so be careful. Since it’s a technique that can cut off body parts, it’s delightful to think that it could lead to a one-hit kill or a decrease in the enemy’s abilities.
