"Ossan, Reborn in Another World"
Before I realized it, I was in a lush and green forest.
Looking around, I had no idea why or, for that matter, how I got here.
No matter where I looked, I was surrounded by trees and plants I'd never seen before.
"Where am I? I'm sure I was playing a ga in……"
……Gagyat, Gaguaya!
"・・・・・・・・・・"
As I noticed the psychedelic colored birds flying overhead, my words trailed off.
My confusion only grew, as they were clearly not creatures from earth.
The possibility of this not being earth was high.
There weren't any signs of the building you'd find on earth, a majestic jungle sprawled in every direction, and the two moons hanging in the sky made my hypothesis all the more probable.
"Where is this place? This doesn't seem to be Japan… and there are those weird plants growing everywhere. I've never seen such things before……"
The plant, which looked like a combination between a pitcher plant and a rafflesia, let out a crunching sound as its vines dragged a wolf-like creature closer to its central flower.
Even if such a plant existed on earth, I doubt they stood well over two ters tall.
The small fangs growing in the center of the flower where biologically impossible, at the very least.
Suddenly, I felt that sothing was out of place on my waist.
Laying my eyes upon it, I was at a loss for words.
While there were a few decorations on my belt, it was the two weapons that interested more. They were items from a ga I was quite familiar with.
They were swords.
They were small, one-handed swords that were categorized as a【Short Sword].
These two player-forged swords, crafted from an abundance of rare materials, were strapped to my waist.
At first I wanted to think that this was the ga world, but common sense dictated that that was impossible.
Even as I was thinking that it was impossible, I noticed sothing else.
I was wearing the slightly dirtied, gray robe that my avatar had been equipped with.
"Hah, hahaha…… that's not supposed to be there, right? Was I teleported into the ga? That's just a common Light Novel premise…"
I couldn't help but laugh.
Because no matter how much I refused to believe it, I already knew the answer.
"Status…… open……"
When the words left my lips, I just wanted it to be nothing but a joke.
However, a familiar status screen appeared before my eyes.
My consciousness abandoned for a brief mont.
"This…… this isn't a joke, huh……? This is too elaborate…… to be soone's prank. ;What happened to ?"

"I have transcended the realm of man. These are the dangerous abilities of a superhuman. Seriously……"
I was obvious inhuman.
Even without knowing the standards of this world, I was certain I had to be an abnormality.
In fact, my magic already rivaled that of the ga's Evil God.
Rather, considering that just the five of us had managed to beat it, we were already beyond normal.
I continued to stare at the screen with a blank expression.
"Is, Is that…… a ssage? Hmm, sender…… unknown…"
A red envelope was flashing at the bottom of the status screen.
I slowly moved my index finger towards the ssage……
"…Let's see…… Huh? God?!"
The ssage was titled 『About Your Current Situation♡』.
I had a bad feeling about this.
When I saw the heart, I was already beginning to doubt the god of this world.
『Yahoo～♡ Goddess Freya-chan here, how are you? Don't worry and keep your head high～♡』
"I should just delete this, shouldn't I? A terrible stench has begun to blanket the area…"
No… I was only getting really annoyed for so reason.
This tension is starting to give a headache.
『Since there's not much ti, I'll be quick. 2487 years ago, the hero managed to defeat the evil god and seal him away. However, they ended up being sealed within your ga world. In this world, sealing that evil god away ca at a great cost, as it was impossible to completely defeat it, you see〜? Ahahah♡ 』
"How annoying…… why would you do such a thing?!!"
『Don't they toss away non-recyclables in your society? ;It was the sa, back then I didn't have a better hand to play〜 And that's it〜 In the ga that guy was beatable, and sure enough, you did a splendid job of doing that. That thing was so annoying〜 I can't believe such an ugly goddess existed!"
"・・・・・That was a Goddess? I only saw a lump of entrails."
It had reminded of an esoteric UMA with pieces of other creatures attached to it.
It had looked like an unidentified creature had wrapped the internal organs of a hundred creatures around itself in a horrifying manner.
Even as I tried to rember, I could only recall a discomforting feeling that was unfitting for a goddess.
『Of course, I didn't count on her self-destructing. It was a bit hasty, yeah〜? And because of that〜, I decided to bring those who died at that ti here〜 I reconstructed you based on the ga data♡』
"No way… does that an that, apart from , others were also dragged into this?"
『Because you defeated the evil god〜, you were reborn based on the ga data, ya know? This world's settings aren't too different from the ga's, so the reincarnation was easy. It was the least I could do, ya know♡』
"I want to hit you…… you callously had us dispose of your hazardous waste, I want to beat you up until you cry……"
No one with an ounce of common sense would have given their lives for such a one-sided plot.
Even I had a future I wanted to strive for.
Though I didn't knew it at the ti, I was tricked into taking part in another person's scams.
There hadn't been a way to consent to anything.
『From the items you owned to the equipnt you had, I recreated everything with stuff from this world, good luck♡ You're wondering how to make your own consumable items? Well, I placed all the recipes in your brain, take your ti to check them out〜♡ You're the sa age you were in your real world, and if you want to rejuvenate yourself you have to make so items? Sorry, Sorry〜. Waaa, the complaints from the gods managing your old world were rushing in, rushing in……. Because of that I had no other choice but to reincarnate you, ya see〜? ……Resurrection goes against the natural order after all〜 ;For all of those reasons, 〜please enjoy the remainder of your life in this world♡ Well then〜 bye-bye♡』
I understood the why, but that still didn't improve my situation.
Even so, I have no idea where I actually am, just standing around in an unknown forest.
That goddess' attitude pissed off more than anything.
"Each ♡ only annoyed more and more. …… I understand the current situation, but I wonder if are there any people living around this place…"
It was dangerous to move without knowing where you were.
The fact that this world resembled the ga ant that it was possible that monsters road this world.
I began to look for the high ground after that thought crossed my mind.
"This should work…… 『Wings of the Dark Crow』"
'Wings of the Dark Crow' was a flight magic I had created.
After nurous experints, I managed to create a spell that decreased the magic consumption of the inefficient basic flight spell.
According to the ga settings, residents of the world were supposed to have a magic database in their brains.
By improving basic magic and storing the alterations away, it was possible to invoke various spells.
In addition, it was possible to take the spell from storage and alter it as you pleased.
As a result, I was able to craft as many spells as I could imagine.
The magic manifested in this world.
I was freed from the bounds of gravity and began to rise into the sky.
"O-Oh!? Amazing, I'm flying! I'm flying!!"
Despite being in my forties, I was as giddy as a child until I rembered my purpose and began scanning the area.
However……
"There's nothing but forest…… Where can I find a town?"
I could see the lush forest and a mountain, yet I didn't find a place where people lived.
I searched for a basic town or village, but found nothing.
"No matter how you look at it, this is a punishnt ga, right? That……"
Despite my griping, I continued to anxious fly about.
I was like a migrating bird without a flock……
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
When I noticed that my magic power was running low, I descended to the ground to rest for a few hours before resuming my search.
Even after all this ti, I still hadn't seen a town or a village.
At this point, it may be necessary to camp out tonight.
If I wanted to survive, I needed food because otherwise I would starve and die.
"Even if I say that〜……"
The ssage had said that all my possessions had been recreated, but I didn't see a speck of food in my inventory.
When I played the ga, I would properly gather the food we needed for our adventures, but now it was a matter of survival.
Fortunately, the seasonings were there, but I didn't have any cooking implents.
"I have no choice but to hunt…… What animals are even eatable in this world?"
Though I complained, I still pulled the bow out of my inventory and strapped a quiver to my back.
I was aiming for small animals, but I had a big problem.
"Now that I think about it, I've never hunted before. Yamada-san offered to take but……"
Since I lived in the country, neighborly relations had been deeply ingrained in .
I rembered the ti we brought down a wild boar that had been damaging crops, but that was only possible because a hunter had been nearby to give instructions.
This was my first ti hunting alone, and if I failed to secure food I would die.
Since I couldn't exchange my stomach for a full one, I erased my presence and began searching for pray.
"Would you look at that……"
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Forest Rabbit, Level 5
HP: 50/50 MP: 10/10
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
It was a common rabbit.
Rabbits were cautious creatures that would flee at the slightest sound.
They also had the habit of eating their own droppings, but what I needed was the at, not the organs.
I drew an arrow and aid it from above the trees.
The arrow was fired the instant the rabbit turned its back to .
―――Doogoooooooooooooooooooooooon!!
"The power…… was too high. Did I use the bow wrong?"
The rabbit had regrettably been reduced to a horribly looking piece of at.。
The weapon's performance was too great.
I glared at the bow I held.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Magically Enhanced Bow #321
30.000 Attack power
Enhanced Physical Strength
Double Damage
Increased Offensive Ability
Increased Accuracy
One-Hit-Kill
Exploding Target
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
"I've killed needlessly……"
This wasn't a weapon for hunting.
My friends and I had made it for fun, but I didn't think it had all that much practical use.
Dismantling the prey wasn't an issue if they all exploded.
It was impossible to procure food with this.
"Calm down…… If I rember currently, I should have the 【Discretion]skill. I can use that, sohow…"
The prey was killed in a single blow before exploding.
If I lower the power using 'Discretion', I could deliver the killing blow with a knife.
I resud my search for prey with that thought.
"This ti……"
The next ti I shot the arrow properly and critically wounded the prey.
Switching to a knife, I delivered the decisive blow to the rabbit.
I breathed a relieved sigh when another explosion didn't go off.
No, the only problem was dismantling it.
"Doing it by a stream would be good."
As I was wandering around, I killed three more rabbits.
I was hungry, but not that much.
Other carnivores might sll the blood, but that doesn't necessarily an they will co to attack .
―――Gya, Gigya, Gigyagya!
And just like that……
"Go-Goblins!?"
A constant fixture within fantasy worlds.
The king of small fries. If you saw one, there were hundreds of them.
The promised monster to which G was attached.
I whistled like a detective out of a period drama when I saw the goblin.
The forest began to rustle as the number of goblins increased.
"This isn't funny!!"
I ran away as fast as my legs could take .
While I could hunt rabbits, I couldn't bring myself do the sa to humanoids.
It wasn't because I couldn't win the fight, I ran because I had an aversion to murder, like anyone raised in modern society.
I was never prepared to live in a harsh environnt prior to this.
It was a while before I noticed sothing.
Even though I fled with all my might, the goblins continued their pursuit.
Though I was fast, they had an overwhelming nurical advantage.
Whenever a goblin blocked my path I would pivot in another direction, but there was always another goblin waiting for .
Their numbers gradually increased to well over a hundred.
"What's with this damn foreeeeeessssssttttttttttt!!?"
I was at a loss.
Unbeknownst to back then, this vast and unpopulated forest was known as the 【Dark Forest of Fafuran]……
It was a wild kingdom inhabited by a number of demons, so of which hadn't even been discovered yet.
There were many monster hordes that numbered in the thousands, and goblins were just a staple race.
I wanted to escape using my flight magic, but the myriad arrows flying around kept my feet on the ground.
This was the strength of numbers.
While I desperately ran, I noticed sothing like a light up ahead.
I approached it like a moth attracted to a fla.
A village suddenly appeared before his eyes.
No, given its size, it was more accurate to call it a town.
"Am, am I saved…… ugah?!"
Even as I had that thought, I realized my mistake.
A large horde of goblins was waiting there for .
I was heading straight for a goblin village.
I couldn't stop laughing at myself for jumping headfirst into enemy territory.
"Aha……Ahahahahha……"
My mind was heading in a dangerous direction.
―――Gigiya! Gyogyagyagya!!
Goblins surrounded with weapons in hand, ready to kill and devour their prey.
However, the goblins also failed to notice sothing.
The being reflected in their eyes had already reached its breaking point……
"All of you…… Just disappeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!"
A magical storm suddenly began to rage.
The monsters trembled with fear.
But it was already too late…… the forbidden magic had been unleashed.
"【Dark Judgent]"
An enormous, jet-black sphere of magic suddenly appeared, creating smaller spheres of the sa color that rcilessly swallowed the goblins.
Thunder and whirlwinds blanked the sky as the spheres obliterated the goblins and the ground they stood on.
It'd turned into a one-sided massacre.
It was a spell I had created in the ga after repeatedly fighting the Evil God and scientifically analyzing its attacks.
The goblin village was utterly devastated, and a large crater had been left in its place.
However, that wasn't the end, because a giant explosion was created around the caster.
The super gravity magic 【Dark Judgnt]basically created a black hole that was monts away from going critical and randomly releasing its energy.
The goblins were reduced to quantum units and used as fuel for this incredibly destructive attack.
The more enemies there were, the greater the spell's power, and it didn't end until all of the enemies were wiped out.
It was an utterly terrifying spell.
By the ti my brain began to function again, it looked as if an enormous teor had struck the area.
It was as if a small lunar crater had been born.
"……I've committed an irreparable mistake…"
That was an understatent.
Although I survived, the strength of my magic was far beyond my imagination.
The fact that it only consud a hundred mana was a cruel joke.
I'd just unleashed a natural disaster.
The goblins had left a massive amount of magic stones in their wake.
When a monster was slain, it left behind a magic stone that was harder than diamonds.
For that reason, the stones were left behind even after that spell of annihilation.
Of course, there were items capable of breaking the stones but they were few and far between. Still, I'd co across an excess of magic stones.
"・・・・Let's look for a water source."
Though I said that, my mind was far from being calm.
I'd realized just how insanely far outside the norm I was.
I moved on with heavy steps, like a wandering ghost.
Hours later, I finally ca across a spring.
The water was so transparent that I could even see the fish swimming through it.
I endured my hunger as I tried to dismantle the forest rabbit.
In the ga, there was a knife you could make that guaranteed a successful dismantling.
"Dismantling…… how do you do that?"
Despite hunger threatening to overwhelm , my lack of experience doing this caused to hesitate.
On top of that, I was in the middle of a monster-filled, unknown wilderness.
As I struggled to figure out what to do, sothing amazing happened in front of my eyes.
"……I'm… dismantling it?"
My hands where cleanly separating the at from one of the forest rabbits.
Not even a drop of blood landed on the fur.
This was yet another abnormal situation.
"There's no helping it. On to the next one… Huh?"
The mont the forest rabbit was relieved of its appetizing at, my arms unconsciously reached for another one.
Such frightening speed.
I was amazed by what I was seeing.
"Perhaps…… this is the synergy of my class-skills?"
I had the 【Hunting]and【Dismantling]skills after all.
The skill corrections must have greatly enhanced my hunting capabilities.
Skills were divided into five ranks: , < Master>, , and , with the proficiency gap between each level being incredibly large.
Well, those basic nas were subject to change depending on one's class.
Combined with my physical skills, the processing speed must have been increased exponentially.
In order to advance an occupational skill… fencing, for example, you'd need to max out the 【Fencing]skill before ascending to the next level.
Most of my occupational skills were at the rank of , leaps and bounds above mastery.
The precise high-speed-dismantling was sothing observers wouldn't be able to follow.
"This is no longer within the realm of humans…… Wouldn't it be better if I live in seclusion?
I need to gain experiences with an abundant number of skills
While I had been deeply invested in the ga, things changed when everything was brought into reality.
If it ca to it, I'd cause nothing trouble for any country I stepped foot in.
I wanted to avoid that if possible.
"Besides, I'd like to get married at so point…… that would be impossible if I'm considered a monster〜……"
It was a serious problem for a DT like .
I had enough materials to make rejuvenation potions, but that was also out of the question.
Furthermore, I didn't even have money in this world.
"Hmm, it helps that this world's standard currency mirrored the Japanese Yen, but……"
The conversation should be 1 Gol to 1 Yen.
From there it went to five Gol, ten Gol, fifty Gol, a hundred Gol and five hundred Gol.
Everything was in gold coins, but their value was determined by size.
It was common sense in this world that alchemists were constantly crafting Gol, and that ten million Gol was a gold brick rather than a piece of currency.
Unlike on earth, gold was relatively cheap and easy to co by.
Sitting by myself as I roasted the rabbit at was pretty lonely.
Still, there was sothing to distract myself from that loneliness.
"Now that I think about it…… the price of a life should be low in this world. A thief might try to kill if they show up……Haa〜"
According to the in-ga settings, there should've been multiple nations throughout the world.
A person's status depended on whatever country they belonged to.
In so countries, magicians were given the cold shoulder, so nations discriminated against a certain group of people and others had mandatory military service.
Those were the settings at least, but it was impossible to know if they still applied to this world.
Even if I was reluctant to participate in criminal activates, in the future I might end up in a situation where I needed to act decisively.
In order to survive, it was better to attract as little attention as possible.
"Well, there's no point in thinking about it now…… the food is done."
I brought the skewed at to my lips.
"Delicious……"
In a nook of the Dark Forest of Fafuran, an ossan ate his al alone.
I silently devoured the rabbit at as if I'd returned to a primitive age.
But I continued to eat.
I was just so hungry.
After that, I tied myself to a tree branch and went to sleep.
I slept like that because it was safer than sleeping on the ground, but my sore backside the next morning stopped from ever doing it again.
"To be honest, that was the worst night of my life. Aa…… my butt hurts…"
The way that ca out was a bit misleading.
"Let's get a better grasp of my skills as I hunt. How about swordsmanship?"
The weapons I had now were perfect in terms of power.
Or rather, they were the definition of excessive force.
The plain looking swords attached to my waist were forged with the best thods I had had available, but their appearance was a bit of a joke.
Although all of my equipnt was plain, that had been done to mislead others.
The sa could be said for my stubble, unkempt hair and the simple bangs that hide my eyes.
The slightly rounded back completed the look of slightly ssy ossan.
However, this ossan had been abnormally strong in the ga.
If people actually possessed levels of insane power, it was obvious that other people would be frightened and avoided those people.
I wanted to deflect envy and jealousy, but I also wanted to avoid loneliness.
A lonely life must be prevented at all cost.
So I needed to overco my opponents with as little strength as possible.
The safest option was to restrain myself to the common standard.
However, I didn't know what that standard was.
"For now, I just have to get used to my body…… so troubleso…"
I'd spent 10 years living a slow life in the countryside, so it was a bit difficult to motivate myself now.
Yet I'm not old enough to say『Ore, TUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!』.
I would like to achieve my small dream to have a family.
With that said, I had no other choice but to keep my power under control.
"Are there any good opponents……"
When I said that, I detected so kind of biological reaction in the area.
These automatic skills were really useful.
*rustle*
I placed my hands on my swords as I listened to the plants and trees rustling.
The monster that appeared had a pig's head and an obese body.
It was a common orc.
"【Orc at]…… I can eat this. If I can kill it……"
It was a commonly eaten monster.
Monster at was really tasty if you could get a hold of it.
At the sa ti, it was famous as the erotic monster of fantasy worlds, and that doesn't seem to have been changed in this world.
They were extrely fertile, had strong sex drives and there weren't that many female orcs.
Mass breeding often resulted in major battle events in the ga.
Their militant and omnivorous nature ant that orcs were a monster that constantly had to be subjugated.
I instinctively drew my swords and slew the orc.
It was an instant kill.
"…What can you call a situation like this one? How much of a monster am I〜?"
The Orc had noticed .
However, I'd been moving so fast that it hadn't even had ti to defend itself.
I'd been like a phantom.
After quickly dismantling the Orc, I moved on to my next target.
This pattern continued for a while.
In conclusion, the saying『so powerful it's no longer funny』was appropriate.
"Acquiring food is guaranteed…… but its only at, as expected……"
Only at for three als a day would grow tiring.
I did search for edible plants, but I could only find dicinal herbs for so reason.
The 【Bloody Belladonna]had no other use besides making poison.
While the toxins had dicinal properties, it was a useless without the proper equipnt.
Though I could practice making magical dicines, with no vessels to store them, it would just be a waste of ti.
The number of wasteful things had increased at that mont.
"Bread……with a bowl of white rice."
On the second day of my wilderness survival, I was ready to give up.
Although I was originally a farr used to inconveniences, survival in solitary exile was difficult.
When I ca across other beings, they weren't native people, they were monsters that took for food.
I ca across them at a rather high frequency.
My on-hand materials increased but my al circumstances hadn't changed.
I was disgusted by such a brutal situation.
It was impossible for a person from modern society to imdiately adapt to such a primitive lifestyle.
The fact of the matter was that if I didn't remain focused I could easily die.
"Why isn't there any wild grass in this mountain of greenery. ;I can't get enough nutrients from at alone……"
Only complaints left my mouth.
"I don't believe in god…… The gods are my enemies!"
ＧＹＵＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯ！！
The punishnt for insulating the gods swooped down from the sky.
A slim monster with a long neck and green scales was flying towards .
Its two legs were tipped with sharp claws, and its mouth was full of sharp teeth.
"Wy-Wyvern!?"
The wyvern relentlessly pursued , knocking to the ground repeatedly over the course of its pursuit.
It was unreasonable to challenge a flying monster in a body I was unfamiliar with, so I could do nothing but avoid its attacks and flee.
That deadly ga of tag continued well into the night.
