The plot of Failure Frame
The story of Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything with Low-Level Spells follows Tōka Mimori and his classmates who are suddenly summoned to a fantasy world by a goddess to act as heroes.
While most of them are shown to have exceptional skills, Mimori has an E-rank. Deeming him to be useless, the goddess decides to banish Mimori to a dungeon where nobody has ever returned. However, it turns out that his skills are more abnormal than it seems. As such, he vows to have his revenge.
Seven Seas licensed both the light novel series and its manga adaptation, and it describes the story:
"Touka Mimori and his classmates are abruptly catapulted into a fantasy world, summoned by the resident goddess to serve as heroes. The good news? Most of the students display amazing skills upon arrival! The bad? Mimori is the worst of the lot, bottoming out at a measly E-rank. Incensed, the goddess tosses him into a dungeon to die–but it turns out that Mimori's skills aren't so much worthless as they are abnormal. Abnormally powerful, perhaps!"
