Building a Legendary Adventuring Party, Starting as a Thief

"You're a thief. What makes you think you can lead an adventuring party?"

"I can turn my teammates into legends."

"And what about you?"

"I make the enemies poor."

After transmigrating to another world, Shane became a thief no one wanted on their team.

Fortunately, he could awaken the powers of legendary figures from across the ages in other people, and extract abilities from relics to strengthen himself.

When the armor heretic, scorned by all, raised his sword against a giant, Don Quixote took notice.

When a dwarf craftsman opened his notebook, filled with failures, the name Edison slowly began to shine.

And so Shane and his unlikely companions set off with a wooden-sign adventuring party, exploring ruins, hunting monsters, pursuing a legendary ship lost for twenty years, and venturing beyond the edge of the map.

Of course, there was one small matter to settle before they left.

"Sir, please pay the wages you owe me first."

"You stole my purse. What wages could I possibly owe you?!"

"I stole it fair and square. What does that have to do with the wages you owe me?"

Shane smiled slowly.

"A friendly reminder to all readers: keep your valuables secure while reading this story. Be careful... or someone might steal them."
