It Seems The Production Skill Acquired In Another World Is The Strongest (LN) Book 5: Prologue & Chapter 1: Part 1

Prologue Encounter with the Demise

One day, I, Kou Kousaka, was suddenly transferred from modern Japan to a different world.

With the help of my cheat skills such as [Creation] and [Dexterity], I finally arrived at the royal capital, only to be told an unexpected fact by the God of War, who was sleeping in the underground of the capital.

Apparently, this world is in danger of being destroyed by a monster called Zogral.

Zogral has the ability to absorb all things and has swallowed up nurous worlds and taken them into itself.

And the next target is apparently this world where I live.

No kidding.

I have been released from a lifestyle of constant overwork in Japan and am now enjoying freedom in a different world after a long ti.

I would do my best to refrain from solving any world crises, but the situation in the world is not so sweet.

In the royal capital, multiple calamities (White Dragon, Green Dragon, Yellow Dragon) and great calamities (Lust Dragon, Wrath Dragon, Envy Dragon) appeared as if they were targeting , and furthermore, the Demon God Dragon, born from the fusion of the Wrath Dragon and Envy Dragon, had sealed almost all of my cheat skills.

It was a truly desperate situation.

Still, I did not want to give up, and as a result of my persistent efforts, I was able to fuse with the Sparkling Greedy Dragon, the great calamity that laid dormant inside , and defeated the Demon God Dragon with the power of Awakening, which continued to evolve indefinitely.

After releasing the fusion, I fell asleep due to extre fatigue, and when I woke up the next ti, it was the following night.

I slept for about 30 hours.

I had never slept for such a long ti in my life, and as expected, I was seriously surprised.

However, thanks to the long sleep, the fatigue from the fierce battle had completely disappeared, and I felt better than usual.

Iris, Lily, and Leticia had co to visit in my room at the guest house, but Lily and Leticia disappeared along the way.

From there, it was just Iris and talking alone, but suddenly sothing unusual happened.

Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

An irresistibly unpleasant sound, as if soone had scratched the glass with a claw, rang out.

Looking out the window, one corner of the starry sky was protruded inward and countless cracks originated from this point.

The cracks in the starry sky gradually widened and connected with each other, eventually becoming a dark-colored crescent moon.

Crawling out from the cracks was a huge bubble.

The surface was a poisonous purple color, and just looking at it gives goosebumps.

Could that be it?

Iris said in a trembling voice.

It is said to have created a calamity, a great calamity

Yeah.

I nodded.

I felt a great power swirling in the depths of my body.

I guessed that the Greedy Dragon sleeping inside must have noticed its presence.

Zogral.

The bubble of demise that would destroy the world had finally revealed itself.

Chapter 1 I Faced the Demise

Part 1

A huge purple bubble was floating in the night sky.

As I look up at it, I activate my [Appraisal].

Zogral: An incarnation of destruction that swallows everything in its path. It indiscriminately absorbs anything that touches the surface of the bubble and incorporates it as part of itself. Its inside is connected to another dinsion and has an infinite expanse.

The description of the appraisal was almost identical to what the God of War had said.

So the new information obtained was that Zograls inside is connected to another dinsion.

I wonder what kind of place is this other dinsion.

I was curious about it out of pure curiosity, but as expected, I was not going to risk my life to find out.

For now, lets join up with Lily and Leticia, shall we?

Thats right. Zogral hasnt moved yet, so lets get ready while we still can.

I nodded at Iriss words and activated [Auto Mapping].

A translucent window appeared in front of , displaying a map of the surrounding area.

Show the location of Lily and Leticia.

As I said this, two red dots of light appeared on the windows map, almost in the sa place.

Apparently, they were both in the garden of the guest house.

Iris and I left the room together and walked quickly down the corridor.

On the way, Iris called out to .

Hey, Kou.

Whats the matter?

After this battle is over, do you want to go shopping for clothes?

Thats so abrupt.

Its like a wish. If we make plans for the future, well be able to hold on even if we have to struggle against Zogral, wont we?

Thats true. But why the clothes?

Kou doesnt have many clothes, does he?

Well, yes, thats true.

The only thing I have, excluding the Fenrir Coat and other equipnt, is the suit I wore when I first arrived in this other world.

I dont know about wearing a suit as casual wear, but I dont have any other clothes that look like regular clothes because I was never really interested in fashion, to begin with.

The main reason that I could get by with just one suit was thanks to the fact that [Item Box] also had a clothes-cleaning function.

I an, how did you notice that I hardly have any clothes?

Were always together, you know. That much I do notice.

I guess thats true too.

Looking back, Ive been with Iris almost every day since I t her until now.

I have a feeling that well be together for a long ti to co.

Then, after the battle with Zogral is over, lets go shopping for clothes for Kou. Thats a promise.

All right. Ill keep that in mind.

Fufu, Im looking forward to it.

Iris smiled happily.

Watching her expression, I also feel warm. Ive got a reason why I cant lose to Zogral.

To keep my promise to Iris, I will definitely win.

We left the guest house and headed straight for the gardens on the estate.

Lily and Leticia were near the pond, and they imdiately ran over to us.

Both of them seed to be aware of the situation and had serious expressions on their faces.

Kou-san. I am always ready to fight.

The battle is finally coming, isnt it? My arms are ringing.

Lily and Leticia already seem to be fully ready to fight. By the looks of things, there is no need to question their intentions again.

Good grief.

Everyone is so dependable.

While I was smiling bitterly, Leticia called out to .

Then, Kou-sama, I would like to ask you to say a few words before we go out to the battlefield.

Thats very sudden.

Im at a loss. What on earth should I say?

I pondered for a mont, then cleared my throat and opened my mouth.

After this battle is over, Iris and I promised to go shopping for clothes. In order to keep my promise I have to defeat Zogral. Im sorry, but I need your help.

Hmm.

I realized after I said it, thats a very private reason. Should I have talked about the fate of the world or sothing like that?

I looked at the three of them to see their reactions, regretting inwardly.

Ara, ara, well, well.

Leticia was the first to speak up.

We cant possibly lose with that. Dont you think so, Lily-sama?

Yes.

Lily nodded with a strong will in her eyes and turned to Iris.

I am going to do my best for Iris-sans sake. Please count on .

Uh, thank you?

Iris nodded, looking puzzled, and turned her gaze toward .

Why are Leticia and Lily so motivated?

I dont know.

However, they both seem to be even more enthusiastic, so I guess its a good result.

While I was thinking about that, Lily told .

Kou-san, youve changed, havent you?

Is that so?

Yes. In the past, I think we would have talked about protecting the people of the royal capital or sothing like that.

Well, yes. To be honest, I feel like I said sothing out of character.

I think that shows how open you are to us. You cant talk about personal matters with soone you dont know well.

Leticia chuckled as she continued.

Well, the battle with the Demon God Dragon was really tough, and we overca so many crises together, so if you still kept your distance from us, I can only cry.

Dont worry. Im counting on you all.

I concluded the conversation by saying that and turned my gaze to Zogral floating in the sky.

Fortunately, there was still no movent from it.

It didnt look like its going to co down to the ground, and if possible, I didnt want to cause any damage to the royal capital.

Considering this, the sky should be the battlefield.

I concluded so in my mind and opened the [Item Box] and called up the equipnt for battle.

Armored Bear Armor.

It is a rough-looking armor made of an armored bear.

In addition to its high defensive strength, I can swing a large sword with ease thanks to the Monstrous Power S effect it grants, and the Hearing Enhancent A is also useful in so cases.

In my protective gear, it is in a position where it is truly a behind-the-scenes help.

Fenrir Coat.

It is a jet-black coat created from Fenrir fur, and I always wear it over my Armored Bear Armor.

Its defense is quite strong, and there is no telling how many tis I have been saved by the Divine Speed Blessing EX.

It is truly my lifeline.

Bastard Gauntlets.

It was originally called the Black Spiders Gauntlets but was transford into a new form by incorporating materials from White Scorpion through [Creation].

The White Scorpions Thunderbolt EX, which releases lightning, will be of great use when dealing with nurous enemies.

A golden light spreads out, and in an instant, the armor is equipped.

Furthermore, I took out a flying potion from my [Item Box].

I gave Iris, Lily, and Leticia four bottles each, as well as one for myself to drink.

This ti, it might be a long battle. The effects of the flying potion will wear off in 30 minutes, so just be careful about that.

Um, Kou-san?

Lily raised her hand in a reserved manner.

I can fly by myself.

Lily said so, folding her hands and closing her eyes lightly.

The next mont, her entire body was enveloped in a silvery glow, and pure white wings spread out from her back.

Thanks to inheriting the power of the God of War, I can now fly. I dont need the flying potion.

I see. The only thing is, we dont know what Zogral will do against us. There is a possibility that it might block the power of the God of War, so please have a flying potion with you as insurance in case of an ergency.

Is that okay?

Yeah. Im asking you to do this for my peace of mind.

I understand. Thank you for your concern.

Lilys face relaxed, and she accepted the flying potions.

I gave them what I had to, so lets finish my own thing.

I opened the flying potion and drank it all in one gulp.

A rich, full aroma like that of a fine wine spread in my mouth.

Soon after, the Wind Blessing S activated, and my body floated softly in the air.

I will get close to Zogral. The three of you will follow behind.

I understand.

Iris nodded at my words.

Kou, be careful, okay?

Of course. If it attacks, use your judgnt and avoid it.

After I said this, I manipulated the wind and rose to a great height.

When I reached a certain height, I looked down and saw the royal capital.

A large crowd of people was outside, looking up toward Zogral.

Well, of course.

Anyone would be startled if a big purple bubble suddenly appeared in the sky.

I was worried that panic might break out, but the king, Octo di Nordic, had the Charisma A skill, and if there was a commotion, he would probably shout at the people to calm them down.

I took my gaze away from the royal capital and gained altitude again.

As I gradually got closer and closer to Zogral, I realized once again the enormity of my opponent.

The Demon God Dragon was nearly 200 ters in length, but Zogral was even larger than that.

It was probably more than five tis as big as the Zogral, with a diater of more than one kiloter.
