"...Yeah, these stats are pretty trash."

Yuuya scratched his cheek, staring at the floating window. Still, it wasn't like he expected to be overpowered from the start.

"It's just the beginning. I'll level up soon enough."

His eyes lingered on his titles.

"[Otherworlder] and [First-Time Visitor to Another World]… If these really boost growth speed, then I've got a huge advantage."

Then there was BP—bonus points he could freely assign later. That alone had serious potential.

"And [Item Box]… sounds simple, but probably insanely useful."

Another skill caught his attention.

[Money Conversion] :: Everything can be converted into money.

"…Now that's interesting."

If that worked the way it sounded, he could take items from this world and sell them back in Japan. No job needed.

"Not bad at all."

After reviewing everything, Yuuya looked around the wooden cabin again. His gaze quickly landed on something near the entrance— A pile of weapons.

"…You've gotta be kidding me."

He activated [Appraisal].

"…This is ridiculous."

One by one, Yuuya stored them in his [Item Box]. Afterward, he noticed a piece of paper sitting on a desk. He picked it up.

"…What language is this?"

Even knowing multiple languages, he couldn't read a single character.

"How am I supposed to—"

[Ding]

You have acquired the skill: [Language Comprehension]

[Language Comprehension] :: Allows reading and writing of all languages.

"…That was fast."

With his new skill, Yuuya read the letter. The writer never gave a name, but based on the content, Yuuya started calling him the Wise Sage.

The letter explained the basics of this world—kingdoms ruled by kings and queens, widespread use of magic, and the existence of various fantasy races.

It also revealed something surprising: Most of the weapons in the house had been created by the Sage himself.

"…Someone like that… got bored?"

Yuuya couldn't help but wonder. After finishing the letter, he explored the house further. There were multiple rooms—and strangely enough, a fully modern bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom.

"…This place really is something."

Eventually, he stepped outside. The property was vast. A fenced garden spread out before him, filled with neatly arranged crops. Nearby, he found a watering can.

[Infinite Watering Can] :: Contains endless holy water. Restores fatigue, heals the body, and boosts magical power. Always pure and drinkable.

Contractor: Tenjou Yuuya.

"…Perfect timing."

Feeling thirsty, Yuuya went back inside, grabbed a cup, and poured some water.

The moment he drank it— A cool sensation spread through his body.

His fatigue vanished instantly.

"…Whoa. I feel amazing."

Curious, he used [Appraisal] on the crops.

[Complete Recovery Herb] :: Heals all wounds, diseases, and restores lost limbs. Regrows instantly after harvesting.

[Super Power Tomato] :: Boosts attack and stamina.

[Invincible Pumpkin] :: Boosts defense and mental resistance.

"…Jackpot."

He gathered and ate them. As he did, a warm energy surged through his body.

His senses sharpened. His strength increased. His movements became lighter, faster—more controlled.

The world itself felt clearer. Yuuya clenched his fist, feeling the difference.

"…This changes everything."

After eating his fill, Yuuya walked along the fence.Something felt… off.

The air near the boundary was tense. Then he saw it. A goblin stood just outside the barrier, pacing and watching him.

[Goblin Scout]

The creature growled, testing the invisible wall. Yuuya instinctively tensed.

For a moment, they simply stared at each other. Slowly, Yuuya reached into his [Item Box]. The Absolute Spear materialized in his hand with a low hum.

"…Let's try this."

He stepped toward the barrier. It shimmered as he approached.

Carefully, he began to cross— The goblin crouched, ready to attack- CRASH.

Something massive burst from the forest.

A red ogre. It moved faster than Yuuya could react. With a single swing—

The goblin was obliterated. The ground shook.

"…What—"

Before he could process it, the ogre turned. Its blood-red eyes locked onto him.

[Bloody Ogre]

The ogre lunged. In an instant, it closed the distance.

Its fist came crashing down— And Yuuya hadn't even fully realized what he was facing.

The ogre's fist came crashing down— BOOM.

The magical barrier flared to life, stopping the attack instantly. For a split second, it seemed like Yuuya had been saved. But not completely, His body hadn't fully crossed back inside.

His left arm and leg were still outside the barrier, There was a sickening crunch.

"—GAHHH!!"

Blood sprayed as his limb was caught in the impact, mangled by the ogre's overwhelming force. The barrier protected what was inside—but anything beyond it was mercilessly crushed.

The force of the blow sent Yuuya flying backward, his body slamming hard against the ground inside the barrier. Pain exploded through his body, His vision blurred. His ears rang. His breath hitched violently as he clutched what remained of his arm and leg, both twisted and torn, blood rapidly pooling beneath him.

"D-damn it…!"

His body trembled uncontrollably. Even trying to move sent waves of agony crashing through him.

Outside the barrier, the ogre snarled in frustration, its massive fist slowly pulling back, eyes still locked onto him like prey it refused to lose. Yuuya gritted his teeth.

"Think… think…!"

Panic clawed at his mind—but he forced it down.

"I have skills… I have something…!"

With shaking hands and fading consciousness, he desperately tried to activate anything that could save him.

"[Item Box]… no… healing… something—!"

His vision darkened further as the pain threatened to swallow him whole.

"I'm not… dying here…!"

Something snapped into place.

[Ding]

"…What—?"

The agony vanished Completely. Yuuya blinked, staring at his mangled arm and leg. The damage was still there—twisted, torn, bleeding—but the pain was gone, replaced by a cold, eerie clarity.

Then—

Everything slowed. The ogre outside the barrier shifted its weight.

Yuuya saw it. Not just the movement—but the intent behind it. The tightening of muscle. The angle of its shoulder. The exact moment its next strike would come.

"…I can see it."

The world felt sharper, faster—yet somehow, he was keeping up. The ogre's fist slammed into the barrier again.

BOOM.

But this time, Yuuya had already moved.

Instinct took over. No hesitation. No delay. He pulled his body up into a standing postiion, A half-second sooner—and it made all the difference. The shockwave still hit, but he was safe. Yuuya steadied himself, breathing slow and controlled, eyes locked onto the monster.

"Pain doesn't matter… and I can react to anything it does…"

His lips curled slightly.

"…Then I'm not the same guy from a minute ago."

The Absolute Spear materialized in his hand with a low hum. Outside, the ogre roared—frustrated, hungry. Yuuya stepped toward the barrier again, But this time he wasn't hesitating he was waiting, For the exact moment to strike.

Yuuya tightened his grip on the Absolute Spear. His body felt different—lighter, sharper, stronger. Every movement carried purpose now.

"…Let's see what I can do."

He drew his arm back, muscles coiling with newfound strength.

Then—

He threw, the spear left his hand with explosive force— But it didn't just fly.

It vanished. For a split second, it completely disappeared from sight.

And then—

It was already there, Right in front of the ogre. No travel. No delay. Just instant presence. The ogre's eyes widened, its body reacting too late as the spear appeared at point-blank range, aimed straight for its chest.

Even with its monstrous speed— It couldn't keep up.

And in the next instant—

It pierced straight through the ogre's torso, there was no resistance.

No struggle. Just a violent, wet explosion as the weapon tore through flesh, muscle, and bone as if they weren't even there.

A gaping hole replaced the ogre's abdomen—blood and fragments scattering in all directions. For a moment, everything went still. The ogre's massive body trembled, its movements halting as it looked down at the ruin of its own body, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

Then—

A deep, guttural sound escaped its throat, Its legs gave out. The enormous frame collapsed forward, crashing into the ground with a thunderous impact that shook the earth. Silence followed.

The Absolute Spear reappeared in Yuuya's hand, spotless. Yuuya stood there, unmoving, his eyes fixed on the fallen monster.

"…That was… one throw."

[Ding!]

Leveled up

A notification flashed across Yuuya's vision, followed by the familiar translucent screen.

"…This is insane."

Yuuya's eyes widened as he scrolled through his updated stats and newly acquired skills. The numbers had skyrocketed far beyond anything he expected.

"So this is what leveling up from something like that feels like…"

His mind raced, already imagining the possibilities—how strong he could become, what kind of enemies he could face now, how far he could push this power. But then—

Something strange caught his attention, the ogre's corpse. Its massive body began to dissolve, breaking apart into drifting black smoke that scattered into the air.

"…What the—?"

As the last remnants faded, several objects suddenly dropped to the ground where the body had been, yuuya approached cautiously, activating [Appraisal].

"…It dropped loot?"

Yuuya crouched down, picking up one of the items, turning it over in his hand.

"This is just like a game…"

A slow grin spread across his face.

"Leveling up… broken weapons… skills… and now item drops?"

He let out a quiet laugh, still trying to process everything.

"…I might actually be able to go even further than I thought."

Without hesitation, he stored the items in his [Item Box], his mind already spinning with new ideas—equipment, builds, strategies. This world wasn't just dangerous, It was full of opportunity And Yuuya was just getting started.
