In a studio apartment, Tokyo, Japan.
I am Goto Daisuke. A 23 years old Japanese man. I have a muscur athletic build. I am a regur sary person in a business corporate. I have a normal life.
But I have some hobbies like reading manga. I really like those isekai ones with byrinths. Even tonight, I was reading one again. I was in my light green tshirt and grey sweatpants.
I was ying on my bed and I was getting dizzy. Well, I had a long day. Too bad, I can't read the entire chapter. Well, there will always be next time and I slept.
Without knowing that my life was about to change.
......
Next day
Early morning
I woke up on the grass....? !!!! I abruptly sat on knees and looked around. I was outside on grass surrounded by some trees and bushes.
I could also hear chirping of birds and I saw some squirrels too. I held my head.
Daisuke " Am I a sleepwalker?"
I looked around again.
Daisuke" Or is it a dream?"
Bam!
I punched my ribs and it's really hurt. Probably not a dream. So, that's meant that I was a sleep walker now.
Daisuke " Man! This sucks!"
I just noticed that I was bare feet and they were clean? Maybe I tossed my shoes around here. I looked keenly around and...
Daisuke " What the fuck?!"
Suddenly, icons started appearing belling things like grass, bushes, trees, Ebony and.... Huh?! Ebony? I crawled forward and found a jet bck sword.
It didn't even shine. Biggest concern I have now, what a sword was doing near me. It was made of real metal with T shape hilt and a double edged one.
Daisuke " Did I steal it?"
I again looked at it but something else happened. A new bel appeared.

That's....an OP sword. I swang it on a tree and....
Ssh!
It cut smoothly. Now, let's try equipment pocket.
Swish!
Daisuke " IT disappeared?! Huh?"
So, it's inside. I tried my t-shirt but looked like it could only store one item at a time. Well, it's convenient. I don't want to lose that sword.... Now the biggest and important thing.
Daisuke " Am I in an isekai?"
Srrrr!
Huh? I turned around. Sounds were coming from bushes. I hid behind the bushes. After some moments, an injured person came out. He was yelling and talking in some different nguage.
DAMN! What will I do if it's native nguage? Suddenly the guy fell and stopped moving. I was still hidden. After few moments, I crawled near him.
I moved his legs with my foot. No movements. I checked his pulse and.... he's dead. He was drenched in injuries. But he had some sandals. Sigh!
I took his shoes and....they changed to my SIZE?! Okay.
Daisuke "I AM in an isekai."
This guy probably came out of forest considering the trees around me. Well, I was a scout too. As for sword, I practiced kendo daily in a dojo for my liking.
Well, I took out the Ebony and ran towards the direction of my dead friend.
.......
Near the outskirts of the forest
I was running and soon came out of the forest. But what I saw was horrifying. A vilge was probably in chaos by 14 bandits which I learnt from my appraisal.
Apparently, vilge chief, which was a job? He was an old guy. He was behind the farmers and vilgers with a copper sword?! FOR REAL?! As for levels....
Bandit with a thief bandana? Was LV 14?! SHIT!! But how come he was able to take down a LV 23 VILLAGER?! Maybe his css gave him better skills?
Well, I had no time. People were dying but I was weak. Huh, he was going to kill the mid twenties LV 23 vilger. This was my chance. I ran up to him.
I was walking behind the houses before. As I reached near him...
Ssh!
Spsh!
Thud!
Even though he had killed the LV 23 vilger. I was able to cut his head smoothly without a problem. Again, Ebony was OP!!! As his head fell, I was already near one of the 3 LV 9 bandits.
Ssh!
Another down. But the other LV 9 had seen me. As I reached, he tried to strike me. Sorry but you are up against a daily practioner. I parried his copper sword and beheaded him.
Now, vilgers and bandits realised what happened. Last LV 9 ordered a retreat in Japanese?! Or was it simir to Japanese? Whatever, I hoped that it's origins were good.
During that I reached him and sshed his running torso into pieces. Strangely, I was not put off by this. Maybe my dead friend from earlier made me resilient?
Don't know but I was running after the escaping bandits.
Daisuke " Sorry but you are all going to be my exp!"
Was I that selfish? Maybe I don't want to die like that guy from before? Well, I tried my best but 5 of them ran off. I turned around and...
Daisuke " What a mess!"
There was blood and bodies everywhere.
.......
Noon
In the vilge saved by Daisuke
I was soon met by the vilge chief, who first expressed his gratitude for my help. Then, he told me his name was Jackson. He founded the vilge after being recognised by the knights corps?
Probably, something like, federal securities, I think. As for me, I just accepted it with skills practiced as a sary person. He asked me what I was doing here.
I said that I was practicing by showing the swing of my sword. Which he accepted? Looked like skills were earn here through csses but were mastered through practise.
He said that my Morbihan was fluent. Turned out that Japanese is called Morbihan here as the nguage of Empire! Yes, I was in a human founded Empire with a history of 500 years.
He took me to his house. It was a simple ancient times one. He brought me to a room and said that I should change here. They would clean my clothes ter.
He gave me a grey tunic and bck pants. His wife was also old but healthy and fat. She put a bowl of hot water with a cloth. Riiiiight.... No baths.
Thuk!
They closed the door. I stored the Ebony and washed myself after removing my clothes. After changing the clothes, I knocked the door, Jackson came and took out my clothes.
For a while, I y down on the old times bed.
........
Afternoon
I decided to check my LV with appraisal after rest and....
Daisuke
Css equipped: Vilger LV 3
Csses acquired: Thief LV 1, Hero LV 1
Bonus points/BP: 4
Daisuke " Huh?!"
What was that?! Only two levels?! Vilger css was really hard man. No doubt that guy died. Speaking of which I am only alive thanks to Ebony.
Otherwise.... I have to level up to survive in this hard exp mode. Well, I obviously levelled up due to my 2 times exp gain. Besides that I have NEW CLASSES!!!
Daisuke " Thief. Probably link with stealing...."
Sighs. I probably got this from sandals. Sorry, Pal. Now to the Hero css. This seemed rare. Might be reted to me saving the vilge but maybe it has Ebony too.
Now, how can I equip these?
Daisuke " Ah! Appraisal!"
Job settings - unlock with 1 BP.
Sighs
Daisuke " As expected..."
With a thought
Click!
Job settings:
Thief LV 1
Hero LV 1
To set a second css:
Two csses - unlock with 2 BPs.
I sighed and unlocked IT. Then, I used my st BP for setting Hero css as second. Two reasons. First, it has a bullet time skill. Second, I don't know about it's history.
As for Thief, you know. Plus, I don't need traps settings yet. It's skill.
