Reading light novels and playing games is really great especially if you love what you’re doing. I’m Shin Yamada, just some 21 year old guy. I live alone in a cheap apartment, right now im on my way from a delivery job as my part time job, I’m really eager to get home, I wonder if there’s already an update at the manga’s and LN’s that I’m currently reading, currently I’ve been reading six WN’s and two manga’s and unlike the WN’s, both of manga’s update is moving at snail pace so I just browse the net for something interesting to read as I wait for more updates. I also stock up chapter updates from WN’s and i already have around 15 web novels in total, I guess.
As I’m lost into my thoughts, I heard someone shout “WATCH OUT!” when I looked at the person who shouted, I immediately saw his horrified face and then I looked to my front, there I saw a speeding car moving towards me without any control, I wanted to dodge at the side but it was already too late as the car is only 3 meters from away from me, I just smiled and thought so this is how I die, huh? Pity that im still too young, I wonder if my parents would cry for me with that, the car finally hit me and I was sent flying as my consciousness started getting blurry and I finally black out.
. . . . . . . . . .
In a certain location, inside a vast forest, was a young man who was currently lying on the ground beside him was a steady flowing stream, it was so clear that you could even the fish swimming around it.
After a short while, the young man finally started showing signs of waking up…
. . . . . . . . . . .
“U~rggh, my body hurts like hell” when I woke up, I felt my body like its being crushed by a huge thing. When the pain started subsiding, I sat up and looked around my surroundings isn’t this a forest? Is this suppose to be hell? I lot of question started popping up in my mind. I could still remember when that car hit me and I was sent flying then after that I blacked out…anything that happened after that, I don’t remember. “I could still feel my body and my senses is working alright” to confirm it, I started examining my body and there’s not even a single wound on me.
“Im still alive but where the fuck am i?” I asked myself as its confusing of how I got here. I should be in a hospital bed if I survived from the hit but I’m inside a forested area. I got up and went towards the stream to wash up my face “This..?” but when I saw the fishes swimming around, I was confused as I’ve never seen a fish like that before, its blue and it has gold linings around its body.
As I concentrated on my eyes to have clearer look at it.
Blue Carp
HP: 10/10
An ordinary fish often found in rivers or streams
Can be consumed

“Woah!” I unconciously shouted, there’s a screen like thing floating in front of me, it’s a like a screen pop up of a game and then a sudden thought struck me “Could it be?” if what I thought is true then im in another world like those novels that I’ve read before.
‘A Different world’ just thinking about it makes me excited and nervous but I need to confirm one thing first.
“Status Window!”…Nothing happened.
“Status!”

“This is….Awesome! Haha! ” I wasn’t able to control myself from shouting, this was really great not only am I alive, I’m even transported to a different world. As im celebrating about it, I immediately looked behind me as I heard the bushes rustling and I unconciously clenched both my fist as I started becoming nervous with the thought of a monster would suddenly jump at me.
After a short while, it finally appeared, it’s a rabbit with…. A horn? The horn was at least over a foot long and the rabbit is huge unlike the ones from Earth. Looking at the rabbit, its size must be at least 4 foot long.
Horned Rabbit
HP: 30/30

Level: 3
ATK 14
DEF 3
AGI 25

Monster Rank: F
This rabbit has a rank and it says monster rank unlike the blue carp earlier it didn’t have one, it must be an ordinary animal then. Now then, what to do? It just turned its attention towards me.
“Wahhh!” earlier when the rabbit looked towards me, it suddenly jumped towards me as it tried to impale me with its friggin horn and now im running for my life.
“Shit, shit, shit… Oh my god! How could a rabbit move this fast?” I cursed under my breath, when I saw the speed of the rabbit chasing after me “What should I do?” i asked myself, then I remembered that I have a skill that I saw on my skill list earlier. Ohh here it is
Lv. 1 Fireball [20MP] – a magic spell that’s made of ball of fire, it’s the most basic spell of the fire attribute.
“HUH!? There’s no explanation on how to use it” I yelled at the floating screen in front of me as I continued to run while I would occasionally look behind me where the monster is still persistent in chasing me.
As I continued to run, I started to feel my energy running out and if it happens ill really die from getting impaled by a RABBIT. I started to think of ways on how to get out from this embarrassing and deadly situation and then I suddenly remembered something “Lets try it, better than being dead” I told to myself as I stopped and the faced the monster who’s only three meters away from me, then I raised my hand while pointing at the horned rabbit who’s moving towards me as I shouted “Fireball!” suddenly a huge ball of fire manifested in front of me as it speedily moved towards that little monster.

SFX: Whoosh! ~ Boom!
And upon contact, it exploded and the rabbit was immediately thrown backwards. When I saw that It wasn’t moving anymore, I slumped on the ground to get some rest “Haa, haa, haa, that was.. Scary” Then I finally noticed the screen in front of me.
Level UP!
Skill Unlocked: Mental Fortitude
“I gained a level and a new skill” I was a bit happy about it but when I remembered that damned rabbit, it makes me think if I would be able to survive in this harsh world “Just where did I get msyelf into? This place is too dangerous”
After resting for a bit, I got up and walk towards the dead horned rabbit, it was mutilated and you cant even recognised that it was that damnable rabbit earlier as it was mostly charred black, then i saw its horn lying on the ground still intact, so I picked it up.
Name: Medium Animal Horn
Classification: None
Rank: None
A horn from a monster called Horned Rabbit. Can be used as a temporary weapon.
“This is awesome, even though its only a horn it could still increased my survivability and this Analysis skill is really useful, I need to make sure it levels up in the future”
Now I need to look for a shelter maybe a cave if im lucky to find one so I started moving hastily, afraid that a monster would appear again while I also checked my status along the way.

Mental Fortitude
I’m now level 2 and 1 skill point, it seems I get one skill point per level. My stats rose a bit and four skills in total, hmm I wonder what’s skill comprehension and mental fortitude is and they don’t have a level like the other two.
Skill Comprehension – a unique ability to instantly learn any magic spells without any difficulties.
Surprisingly, it’s a cheat skill but now learning any magic spell is easy! Mwahahaha! I hope the other one is too.
Mental Fortitude - able to calmly and logically think things through. Allows a peaceful state of mind. Immunity to psychological status effect.
It wasn’t surprising that its a cheat skill, but both of them doesn’t have any levels maybe both are passive skills. That’s the only explanation as they cant be actively used in battles.
After inspecting the skills, I started focusing more on looking for a shelter. Hopefully I could find a one before sundown or I would be in trouble. An hour later, I was forced to create a temporary bed made of small tree branches on a tree, luckily the tree’s here are numerous where most of their branches intertwined which I used as a foundation for a bed. I did find a lot of places earlier which I could occupy but most of them are aren’t for used like a cave with a family of bears, two times bigger than a normal bear called Hind Bears or a group of goblins then there’s also this huge tree with a large hole in it were a pack of wolves called Wind Wolves resides. I also met a lot of monsters along the way, like a humanoid dog called Kobolds which I avoided but I did kill some horned rabbits or some lone goblin and there’s even a slime, their levels just varied from 2-5 and now im level 7. After that, I just thought of other ways, so I went and just occupied a large tree near to a river were I used fresh tree branches to make a bed on it.
And right now, Im moving around the vicinity of my new home as im worried if there’s ever a threat nearby and while on it, im looking for a fruit that discovered earlier and a herb that could be use to heal the wounds from earlier. Ohh here’s an example of that fruit.
Larndo Fruit
A small fruit that primarily grows in forests. Has a bit of sour taste on it and could be eaten raw
Poisonous Components: None
Even though its size is that of a strawberry, it could still satiate my hunger. I also brought the rabbits I killed and cleaned it so that its blood can’t attract troublesome monsters. One of the horns I got was grinded on the sharp edge of a rock so that it could at least take the shape of a knife and luckily it turned out…,Okay? And I used it to cut the meat which, I wrapped most of them in leaves before I buried them on the ground to preserve it.
Sometime later, I was relieved to see that there aren’t any monster that could threaten my life but i still need to be careful as monsters roam around and I also found the herbs and a lot of Larndo Fruit im looking for which I put them on a large leaf I found.
After I got back, I crushed the herbs as i used it to my wounds after I took a bath at the nearby river, then I made a small bonfire as I roasted a rabbit meat over it from the meat I prepared earlier.
As night finally came, I climbed up and laid down on my bed, luckily I had the idea of putting a mixed of grass and leaves over it and It turned to be a bit soft and a bit rough. I especially picked this part of the tree so that I could see the sky from the hole that wasn’t covered by the leaves and branches. I gaze at the night sky and I finally realized just how beautiful this world is especially at night, as I could see the countless stars twinkling at the night sky something that I only once saw back on Earth when I was still a small kid. Back on Earth, the people there even though they are aware that Earth is slowly dying from deforestation or anything that could harm it, they just act as if they didn’t care but there’s still some others that tries to prevent it. I even asked myself of why did god created humans and still let them live on Earth knowing of their destructive nature “ Sigh~ ” I sighed at myself. I hope that it won’t be too late for them to realized that they can’t live on Earth anymore. Even though this place is a world full of dangers its still beautiful better than living in a slowly dying world, at those thoughts I finally went to sleep.
