"Limit Break, but what is it?"

On a day off from sword practice, Ryu had some free time and decided to go into the forest to check on the traps.

As he went deeper into the forest, he found a Big Boar caught in a trap set for a large game. It seemed to have died, stuck on a stake that had been set up.

Ryu tried to pull the boar out of the trap, but it was much heavier than he expected. Since he couldn't do it alone, he tied a rope around the boar's leg and pulled it up using a tree. Even with the help of his "Body Enhancement" ability, it still required a lot of strength.

As he was pulling it up, a voice suddenly rang in his head.

"The 'Hunter' has reached the limit of G+. Confirming activation conditions of the 'Gokudo' ability [Challenge the limit and master the path]. The ability [Limit Break] has been acquired. Therefore, the Hunter's limit has been broken. They have gone from G+ to F- rank. With a rank upgrade, they have been granted a slight status bonus to dexterity and agility."

It was a sudden "Voice of the World" for Ryu, and he panicked since it was his first experience with it. He looked around and realized that it was resonating directly in his head, which made him understand what the "Voice of the World" was.

"...So, this is the Voice of the World... It really does have a voice..."

He was surprised, but then he realized something.

"Wait, didn't it say that I broke the limit even though Jack of All Trades can only go up to G+!?"

If that was true, then rather than being pessimistic about his Jack of All Trades skill which could do anything but couldn't reach high levels, he could become the strongest by combining it with the Gokudo ability [Limit Break].

Of course, effort was still necessary, but he had more choices to work hard and improve what he wanted to do.

It was the moment he became confident that he could contribute more to the Landmark family.

"Oh, I need to bleed the Big Boar."

Ryu quickly returned to reality and got to work.

From then on, Ryu became a hard worker.

He put effort into his studies and quickly reached the limit of the "Teacher" skill and broke it with his ability. With a rank upgrade, he was granted a slight status bonus to intelligence.

In sword training, he quickly reached the limit of "Sword" and broke it.

He continued to break the limits of "Spear," "Axe," "Bow," "Shield," "Mace," "Body Arts," and more one after another, gradually increasing his stats.

In addition to martial arts, he also broke the limits of "Merchant" and "Cook," and the "Voice of the World" resonated in his head many times.

And then...

"...It's stopped suddenly."

After breaking all of his limits, Ryu noticed that he couldn't hear the "Voice of the World" anymore, which he had become accustomed to hearing every day.

"Well, if I keep working hard, I should be able to hear it again."

He switched his mindset and kept working.

Ryu didn't realize it, but by breaking many limits, the slight status bonuses he received from each one accumulated and greatly increased his stats.

However, he wouldn't realize this until much later.

The season passed, and Ryu turned seven years old.

At this time, new members were added to the Landmark family.

Sebastian's grandson was hired as a servant.

He was a 10-year-old boy with brown hair and eyes and a strong competitive spirit.

He would surely become the Landmark family's butler for Tauro's generation.

This 10-year-old boy named Shima also participated in their usual sword training.

At first, he showed his competitive spirit and challenged Tauro, but he was overwhelmed by Tauro's martial arts skill, which included the "Knight" skill.

Next, he challenged Jiro.

Jiro was also a skilled fighter with the "Cleric-Warrior" skill, and being younger, Shima thought he could win, but he was also defeated.

And then, it was Ryu's turn.

Despite losing continuously, Ryu was still only seven years old and had the "Jack of All Trades" and "Appraisal" skills, which were far from martial arts skills, and "Gokudo," which he didn't fully understand., so Shima didn't think much of him. , but then the master of the house, Ryu's father, shouted at Shima.

"Shima! Don't underestimate your opponent before the fight. You'll die instantly on the battlefield!"

With that, Shima grasped his sword and faced Ryu.

The result was that Ryu won overwhelmingly.

Ryu was also surprised by his own strength. He had been used to fighting against his father, Sugo, and his talented older brothers, so he hadn't realized how much he had improved.
