My name is Sekino Motegi, I'm 21 years old, and I'm currently living in the magical world of Acrusse.
Before the story continues, let me tell you how I got transported here.
SOMEWHERE IN TOKYO
Back then, I was just a regular third-year university student who worked part-time at the nearby konbini.
I was in my apartment, eating my cup ramen for dinner, and drank a canned beer while I was looking at my phone. Then suddenly, an advertisement popped up on my phone again, and this was the tenth time this week.
Are you tired of your life right now?
Just get out of the company you work at, get out of the house you live in, and move to Acrusse, a place where you can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle and find your own happiness.
We can offer you so many job opportunities with fair payments, very affordable housing, and some other benefits if you decide to live here.
So, what are you waiting for?
Just move to Acrusse right now.
We'll be waiting for you.
"This fishy real estate again?"
Even a donkey knew if this was a scam. Those sweet words, those impossible promises, are definitely cheap marketing stuff.
And on top of that, what the hell was Acrusse
Was that a deserted island in the middle of nowhere?
Or a place where you would return with your kidney taken?
"Huhhh... alright. There is no other way to make this stupid thing disappear. If this led me to human trafficking, then so be it."
I decided to open that advertisement and fill out the form inside it. Surprisingly, I only had to write my name and my age on that form. After I clicked 'Send,' I finished my beer and went to sleep.

A bright light came out of his phone, and in the blink of an eye, his body disappeared from his bed.

While I was sleeping, I felt like I was lying on the grass, and I also felt the air breezing through my body. When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was tree boughs and leaves above me.
"Huh? Where... am I?"
I turned my head to the left, and I saw the grass beside my body, confirming what I felt. When I got up and looked around, I saw a big shadow from the tree that protected me from the sunlight.
"Wait, wait, wait, why am I here?"
When you remembered that you were sleeping in your bed, and then you suddenly awakened in a different place, you were obviously confused, right?
And that was exactly what I felt at that moment.
But before I could think, a notification screen with the word "congratulations" popped up in front of me, and then I heard a male voice out of nowhere.
"Congratulations on your move to Acrusse!!! We already expected you to come here, and as we promised, we'll have some benefits to assist you. We give you five skills: [Appraisal], [Language Comprehension], [Storage], [Resistance], and [Copier]. You can also pick one bonus skill as a compliment, and you can check your own status by simply saying "Status Open." Well, enjoy your new life, and we wish you the best of luck!"
"Eh? Wait, what? Hey, where are you...?"
That voice was suddenly gone before I could even ask him. After I tried to remember what he said, I noticed a familiar word.
"Did he say Acrusse?"
That was the name of the place in that fishy advertisement. Then, I saw a walled city far away from where I was standing, which kind of looked like medieval Europe. At that moment, I realized that I really got transported to Acrusse.
"So, I'm in another world now, huh?"
And just like that, that was how I started my journey in another world, being thrown away by a spammy, shady ad and abandoned.
