Chapter 1: Weakest Person in the Whole World
It's a bird. It's a plane. No it's...
A flying cultivator.
An old man, standing atop of a sword, tumbled as if going to fall.
Watching all of this is a young shepherd boy who is lying in the grass and staring on the clouds daydreaming. His name is Klein Sparrow.
"Hmmm... So those online Chinese novels about cultivators are real. Tch... Too disappointing though. They always describe cultivators as young and handsome but this one... Ugly is a too generous a word for describing him... He looks so old and decrepit. He must be a lich or something and not a cultivator."
It is unknown if the old man heard what Klein had said. But after the latter finished his sentence, the old cultivator puked some blood and fell down.
Klein is quick on his feet and approaches the fallen old man. Without inquiring on the man's condition or asking if he's alright, Klein picked up the old man's flying sword and said, "Master, let this humble disciple safeguard this treasure for you. You are already so old and frail. I'm sure this sword must be too heavy for you. What would happen if you swing, and it flew from your grasp destroying some property or worse hitting little girls? Don't worry, cause I, your number one disciple, will make sure to take good care of this sword."
The old man coughed another mouthful of blood upon hearing this. It's the first time he met someone this shameless. He even proclaimed himself as this esteemed disciple.
"Oh right, master. Do you have any granddaughter? Your disciple is already at the right time and is already in a marriageable age. What? You have more than one granddaughter. Don't worry, your disciple will take care of them all..."
The old man finally had enough and sent a kicked toward Klein's way.
"Get lost!"
Just like that Klein Sparrow is kicked to another dimension...
-------------
Huh, what happened.
Klein woke up with a start before he started screaming. His whole body hurts as if a million needles is pierced all over his body.
What was worse is the accompanying headache. He felt an abnormal pain in his temples as if he was being bashed repeatedly by a club.
Klein moved his body in a fetal position and sobbed. He continued to endure the pain that comes from both his body and mind.
Unfamiliar memories starts to assault his mind. He screamed once more as the pain intensifies. Fortunately, when he tries to focus his mind in these memories, he discovered that the pain started to alleviate.
He breathed a sigh of relief. But after relaxing, the pain erupted once again.
Klein brought his attention back in this unfamiliar memories.
After a few moments.
Isekai, fuck.
Klein thought to himself after fully digesting these new memories. He looked around, seeing the fallen chair and what seemed to be a bottle with a greenish liquid.
He continued looking around to discern where he is. He seems to be in an adult boy's room. And from the small details like the position of the mirror, the size of the bed, the cracks on the wall and floor, and the mishappen color of the wall, a sense of familiarity flooded his heart.
Fuck. The old geezer kicked me so hard I isekaied on this body who has just poisoned himself.
With the booming isekai genre, Klein quickly grasped his situation. At most, he finds his situation more interesting. Being a shepherd, there's not much excitement on his daily life, at most he'll tease the village girl. But in this world, Klein is sure that he will lead an exciting and interesting life.
I really have transmigrated. I'm not summoned by a goddess or a country, so I have more freedom.
But the downside is, I don't have a clear goal like defeating the demon lord.
I'm not forced to be with a group of weirdos just to be betrayed by them and come close to dying. Then spent a few moments in despair before discovering that I'm secretly OP.
At least, I'm not like the protagonist of those weird isekai genre. I didn't isekaid as a vending machine or a garbage can, and I didn't transform into a monster like a slime.
Klein closed his eyes, reviewing the foreign memories again. He wanted to highlight the main features of this new world compared to his old one.
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
He transmigrated to a fantasy world. And the main feature of a fantasy world is the existence of magic.
There are races other than humans.
There seems to be a magic tower somewhere in the middle of the continent. It's so tall that it pierces the sky. It is said that every level of the tower is a world of its own, with each level having a land mass larger than the previous one.
With that out of the way, Klein decided to review the life of the previous owner of his body.
Strangely enough, he is also named as Klein Sparrow.
Klein raised from his position and went in front of a mirror.
"As expected we look alike. Must be one of the conditions for transmigration. At least, I still have my handsome visage."
Of course the last sentence only came out because of his narcissistic side. He is handsome, but not enough to make a girl fall for him with just a smile.
After confirming these, Klein continued looking inside his new memories.
Klein is the only son of a Tower Climber father and mother. He became an orphan when he was seven after both his parents disappeared in the tower.
He was born with a weak constitution. And together with his status of an orphan, he was often bullied by his peers.
The only silver lining of his life is that he was born with a Mark of Blessings.
According to his memories, Blessing is a gift from gods. When awakened, it will give you a terrifying set of skills that will let you stand above the rest.
Some Common type of Blessing may simply give you a boost of strength or speed, while the more rarer ones allow you to control the elements. Wielding fire like an extension of your body without learning any Magic. Some are even more magical that it broke the Laws of Magic.
When a child is born, he may receive a Mark indicating that once he turned 16, he may awaken some type of Blessing, hence the name Mark of Blessing. There is 1 in every ten thousand chance that you will get a Mark.
It is only because of this Mark that the previous Klein haven't given up on life.
His childhood friend, who also have this Mark, awakened two years ago.
Her Blessing is so impressive that the country's Knights went to his rural and remote village to escort her to the capital.
Being the son of two adventurers, Klein has some hope for his awakening, despite having a poor body.
He had dreamed of becoming a strong Tower Climber and marry his childhood friend.
But that hope was dashed when he awakened last night.
Because his Blessing is trash. Not the type of trash like the ability to change the color of his hair on command, but the type of thrash that is enough to cause someone to despair. It is trash enough to extinguish Klein's hope and cause him to commit suicide.
Klein sighed when he arrived at this particular memory.
"Status!"
----------------------------------------
Name: Klein Sparrow

Species: Human
Age: 16
Sex: Male
Strength: 5
Dexterity: 13
Agility: 15
Stamina: 20
Intelligence: 13
Magic Power: 5
Blessing Abilities:
Weakest Person in the Whole World (Passive): As the weakest person in the whole world, you can only have half of the average stats for Strength and Magic Power. No amount of training or tonic can increase your stats.
Strength and Magic Power are permanently fixed at 5.
Born Loser (Passive): You are born to fail at everything.
You can't learn any type of Skill or Spell.
Skills:
None
----------------------------------------
It really is despair inducing Blessing. You might even call it a Curse. You are cursed forever to become mediocre. No, worse than mediocre. Considering that the average status for a normal human is 10 for each Stats.
After getting his hopes up for more than a decade and crumbling unexpectedly after seeing his Trash Blessing, Klein committed suicide.
But our Klein won't just give up. With his mindset being an isekai person, he tries to find hope in his situation. He tries to analyze his Blessing/Curse.
This passive Weakest Person in the Whole World (WPWW) really is a headache. With my Strength fixed at 5, I'm weaker than an ordinary person. I'm not even sure if I can lift a sword. sigh..
As for my Magic at 5, I won't be able to Cast any spell. Fuck... With my other passive I can't even learn any.
It's good that my other stats is above average.
Fortunately my stamina is not a fix number. It's even double that of an ordinary person.
If it is a fixed number.. Fuck.. I don't even know what to do.
Imagine battling late at night, you are already exhausted but your partner is only getting started. You would live your whole life miserable.
Hmmm... Now that I look at it, there's nowhere in there that says it prevent stats that came from equipment.
Do I need to go for the Overgeared route just like that one novel.
Born loser also says "Can't Learn" and not "Can't Use". Based on the pitiful guy's memory there seems to be an equipment that has skills.
I don't want to go the Overgeared route because it's unoriginal. Also, I'm not a blacksmith. I can't even learn Skills to handle those precious materials. I'm not a rich second generation that can expunge and can buy any equipment.
Fuck!
I can't even be a pioneer to earn money like some other novel. This world already discovered how to make glass, make a printing press, do crop-rotation. Heck.. this world also have guns. But it's not that widespread because these guns tend to explode randomly.
While being shameless is Klein's most prominent disposition, you can say that he is confident about himself. Confidence and shamelessness goes hand in hand.
I have isekaid into this world. I'm sure that I'm destined to be someone great.
Don't worry old Klein, I will fulfil your dream to become a Climber in hopes of finding your parents, along with your wish to marry your impressive childhood friend. As a bonus I'll even make a harem for you.
And with that thought, he proceeded to sleep.
