I find myself in a ruined village, charred wood everywhere. But, my clothes are different, I have a brown sleeveless jacket on and black trousers but I also have shitty fingerless gloves, their knuckles adorned with white stones and on the backside of the palm there is a symbol of two white crescent moons one below each other. Grasped in my hand is a blue card, it reads my name as ARC!!!! What the hell, she got my name wrong; wait, she didn’t even bother knowing it. As I am thinking about that shitty goddess who robbed me of my life, my eyes catch on something shiny. “a sword” I exclaimed. There was a sword stuck in a stone just some distance ahead of me. “It must be legendary sword here to help in my conquest of the world”, thinking about my salvation I approach the sword and pick it up. HUH! It’s really light and easy to swing. As such I start swinging the sword around aimlessly and suddenly a game like window appears, it reads the status of the sword. ‘Rusted iron alloy sword, does not have a long life ahead. GRADE-E, Condition- POOR, like your wallet. HUH! That was insulting, was that the sword status screen or mine.

GRRRRRRR….

As I am wondering why I did not have a starter hero bonus, I hear growls from the direction of trees. That brings me to the realization of my location. Surrounded by trees, shrubs and grasslands everywhere. Outside the burned wood there is a forest and the growls are coming closer by the second. What could be coming my way I wonder? Hopelessly I clench the newfound rusted sword tighter. After reading that status screen I am beginning to see the faults and rust in the grasped sword more prominently. I try to think about a status screen similar to the sword about me and suddenly one appears in my mind

Name: ARC

Species: dragon summon; native human

Age: 18

Mp: xx

Hp: xx

Hidden

Blessing of strength: ss

My name’s wrong but in hidden bar I see ss blessing of strength. Of course, the goddess’ help I don’t need to fear a lot about this I am a hero of this world. As I am breathing a sigh of relief that I will be safe, a horde of green monsters run towards me as soon as I see them, I recognise them as the stereotypical incarnation of goblins long nose and stretched ears burnt wood weapons in their hand, they charge towards me. They are very small but in vast amount they run towards me on the lush green grass. I stand confident due to the goddesses blessing and as soon as one of them jumps towards me, swing my sword, the sword runs through goblins head as smoothly as butter and I am surprised at my own strength! These beginner monsters are no match for me, they are only going to contribute towards my growth that’s their only existence. As a revel in my own strength about cutting them down as easy as butter another blunt weapon is swung towards me, as i block it by cutting its trajectory with my sword, another attack hits me. I feel a sharp pain on my back, when I when I turn back, I see a goblin has already stabbed me with his nails. “But the blessing of strength!!” I don’t understand shouldn’t I be easily taking on these small fries, or are they the strongest creatures of this universe, no I easily cut down one, too easily then that must be because I am not good. I come to the horrid realization that I am a bodybuilder with immense strength but competing in a MMA arena I don’t know how to direct this strength into a technique, after this realization I know how easy it would be to end me in this world by these mere d tier monsters. And so, I decide to make my escape and run as fast as I can, then these green goblins throw stones at me, some hit and I lose my balance in that state to almost fall I pick up a stone and throw it at the goblins; I miss, instead it hits a tree……. (BAM!!!) But there is a big crater in the tree now. That throw was not normal, I had put my SS strength in it and so I knew how to deal with these goblins efficiently. I hide behind a tree and aim at another goblin with a curved sword in hand, I throw it at his head, it impacts his neck, crashes through and there is blood everywhere. Seeing this gives me immense pleasure, while their stones and scabbards also hit me, damage is not that much, but my campaign to rain down meteors from hand really puts a dent in their party. Many decide to flee back to the direction they came from and dead goblins drop shiny green stones. In Excitement of my murderous assault, I follow them to and arrive at a cliff and see a horde of goblins with many sorts of monsters, Dogs, pigmen and a warrior. I hide myself in the tall shrubs, the monsters aren’t goblin’s pets but victims. These goblins are raping these speechless monsters that’s what happening. I try not to throw up but fail, which should be surprising because I haven’t eaten anything since I came to this world. At a discreet corner I see a person hooded and wearing a brown poncho and the goblins making their way to him. I immediately throw a stone; it deeply scratches the big goblin and hits the person. The goblin’s head is open but I think I also injured the guy I was trying to save. I jump out the shrubs and run beside the cliff, I cannot have these savages get me but I have to save this guy, he could guide me in this shithole of a forest. I run around the shrubs and throw stones on the goblins, shaving of their numbers Gradually.

Suddenly, a bunch of shadow figures jump out of the forest, seeing their trajectories. They were hiding above the branches. As such I recon this is my chance to make a debut as a friend and I jump out and swing my rusted sword. “Hah, yahhhh, hah!!!” however it didn’t look like these forest dweller group needed much help as they clean the goblin horde easily. And as they reveal their hood in the bright sunlight, I see deep green but sharply shaped eyes, the wretched blonde hair, but somewhat dimmed and stretched ears, these are the elves; tree hugging bastards of fantasy; a silhouette approaches me, it becomes difficult to discern who this person is because sun is right behind them and I am on all my fours. And as the face comes into view she sweetly says “thank-you brave human”
