This is my status.
I got all the ‘skill elements’ I wanted.
I check the contents of the status, looks like SP stands for skill points.
If your HP reaches zero, you’ll probably die, note that there are only 10.
I got out of bed.
Standing in front of a large full-length mirror leaning against the door, I saw a boy of about 15 years old wearing a loose-fitting white one-piece dress.
Black hair, black eyes, but nothing like my childhood.
He wasn’t particularly handsome, nor as cool looking as a model.
He had an attractive face though.
I was 28 years old and Japanese. I was a system engineer. My appearance was quite ordinary, and I was in the second grade of elementary school when I became popular.
My honest impression when I looked in the mirror was, “I look younger and cooler.”
As a reader of light novels, this is what I would have expected.
I got out of the room.
This is a village in the woods. Judging from the number of buildings, it looks like a village with a population of about 50 people.
The village was surrounded by a wooden fence about two meters high. It’s a sight you wouldn’t see in Japan.
Maybe there are monsters in the village.
At my feet, I could see a path leading to the center of the village.
A gray-haired old man with his back slightly bent was walking toward me.
It seems that an event is about to begin. My heart was racing with anticipation for the adventure that was about to begin, just like when I opened a novel that I had been looking forward to reading.
“Welcome to Rosetta Village. I’m Jill, the village chief.”
The standard greeting! Seems like the beginning of the village in the tutorial.
“Nice to meet you, my name is Takumi. I woke up here and found myself in ……. Where am I?”
“Yes, yes. I know, that’s the kind of place this is. Everyone who comes out of here says they are from a different world.”
“A different world? I knew I was reborn in another world!”
Phew, Hahahaha …… this makes me laugh.
The tension of being in an unfamiliar place, the anticipation of what is about to happen, and the anticipation of what is to come seem to be mixed together to create a strange tension.
“What are the people who came out of here doing now?”
“We call people from other worlds ‘other worlders’. They stay in this village for a couple of days and then go somewhere else.”
“I see. Are there any other Otherworlders in this village besides me?”
“Not at all. It’s actually been about five years since the last other worlder arrived.”
There were about 300 people in that space.
I guess we weren’t all transferred to this village.
Another thing I can think of is that there are many villages like this one around the world.
“Do other worlders appear in other villages and towns too?”
“Yes they do. In big towns, many other worlders come at once, but when they come to this village, they are always alone.”
I see. So, the people who transitioned with a party will appear in a larger village, town, or castle than here?
The surrounding monsters are strong, it’s hard mode.
“Um… how can I earn money to live?”
“If you register as an adventurer at the Adventurer’s Guild, you can get a guild card.
Saying that, the village chief pointed to the biggest building in the village.
I thanked the village chief and parted.
As I was walking towards the adventurer’s guild, people passing by said to me, “You’re from another world, aren’t you? Good luck.”
All the other worlders who have come here so far must have been good people.
If they were people who did bad things in the past, it wouldn’t be strange for them to be killed the moment they came out of that room.
It seems that I was lucky to be able to teleport to this village.
