Naoto Kuze is a healer who can't heal. He has no attack magic, no sword skills, and only one useful ability: [Purification]. Then one day, he uses it on a cursed dagger thrown away as garbage. The curse disappears.The rust vanishes.And what remains is an SR-ranked rare weapon. That is when Naoto realizes something. The cursed equipment everyone else throws away isn't garbage. It's treasure. He begins collecting discarded cursed weapons, armor, accessories, and magical tools—purifying them back into powerful rare equipment. But there is one problem. Naoto himself is still weak. He has no swordsmanship.No offensive spells.No overwhelming stats. So instead of becoming stronger himself, he builds different equipment loadouts for different enemies. Automatic-defense shields.Homing spears.Magic guns.Cursed artifacts.Instant weapon swapping.And eventually, the ability to link magical equipment together. If he can't do it himself, he'll make his gear do it for him. A modern dungeon LitRPG about cursed loot, rare equipment, gear combinations, and a weak healer climbing deeper into the dungeon one loadout at a time. 📚 Kindle editions are now available! 🇺🇸 English: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B0HHR6RBLQ 🇩🇪 Deutsch: https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0HJLNW1J7
