The number of daily accesses was in the thousands! Thank you!

This time, the content might be a bit different.

Takashi Kyousai, three days after obtaining the cheat, on the morning of the third day.

Two days ago, Kyousai declared that he would indulge in the utmost fantasy, and in his heart, he had decided not to delve into it no matter what happened.

However, this man, Kyousai, was not a three-day quitter but a two-day quitter.

"Why is that..."

Kyousai was already so dispirited that he couldn't even bother to add an exclamation mark at the end of his sentences.

"Why are there only crocodiles..."

Indeed, Kyousai had only encountered crocodiles for the past two days.

Incidentally, he called these crocodiles "Ariater."

It was a complete shortcut.

Ariater's stats varied, but they were slightly higher than the average initial value of 20. Still, they were only around 20. In return, they did not possess any magic or skills.

But there was something more important.

Indeed, Kyousai had only eaten Ariater's meat for the past two days.

He could produce water and fire with magic, but not seasonings.

He wouldn't die, but he was definitely getting tired of it.

Let's think about it.

Two days of the same meat, no seasoning, and only water to drink.

He would probably get heartburn.

"Let's find a town."

Kyousai muttered this and re-energized himself.

Kyousai's stats are currently as follows:

He is so overpowered that it's almost embarrassing.

(By the way, I was sent to the vicinity of the Shikka Kingdom, right?)

However, it was all grassland.

"Let's try jumping with full power."

He jumped vertically... with full power.

Then, Kyousai jumped about 130 meters high.

"Whoa!? That's high!?"

Kyousai was momentarily surprised but then understood when he looked at his stats.

Just by defeating crocodiles, he was this strong. Even a hero would be envious.

(Well, let's focus on finding a town... Oh, I see a town. If I had done this from the beginning... huh?)

He landed and jumped again, looking in the same direction as before.

(That's... a carriage. But, aren't there too many people for guards?)

He landed and walked in the direction of the town, thinking.

(Wait a minute?)

Then he jumped again.

(The clothes are completely different... and they haven't moved at all... ...Ah, I see...)

He landed and sprinted.

"They're bandits!!"

Sure enough, it's a classic fantasy setting.

*

"Leave your money and your life!"

A larger bandit shouted.

"Ah, ah!"

The man who looked like a merchant was trembling.

The two men who looked like guards were also holding their swords, but their legs were shaking.

"Damn it, you guys! Kill them!"

"Roger!"

At the man's command, five bandits attacked the carriage.

"Ah, ahh!!"

One of the guards charged at the bandits.

"Hmph. --- 'Fireball'"

The leader muttered something and created a softball-sized fireball.

"What! A mage!?"

The other guard looked at the bandit in shock.

"Die."

The bandit grinned and launched the Fireball at the guard.

But the Fireball disappeared before it hit the guard.

"What!?"

No one knew whose voice it was, but a few seconds later, the five bandits fainted simultaneously.

...

...

...

"Wh-what..."

The man who looked like a merchant muttered, and a response came back.

"Are you okay?"

It was Kyousai.

"Y-you did this?"

"Who else do you think did it?"

"I-I... sorry..."

"It's fine. Anyway, are you a merchant?"

The man seemed a bit surprised but then composed himself.

"Yes. My name is Spitz. I'm a novice slave trader, but..."

Spitz laughed.

(Slave trader... So there are slaves in this world too...)

Kyousai's serious face made Spitz nervous.

"Sorry. Did I upset you?"

Kyousai snapped back to reality at Spitz's sudden apology.

"No, I was just thinking. My name is Kyousai."

"Is that so. Then, Kyousai, are you...?"

"Yes, I'm heading to the next town."

Spitz's face brightened.

"Then, would you like to come with me!? Of course, I'll pay you a reward!"

One of the guards reacted.

"Hey! What about our reward!?"

It was the one who almost got hit by the Fireball.

Spitz responded to his words.

"Who would pay a reward to wimpy adventurers like you!"

"What!?"

Then, the other guard spoke up.

"Stop it, Spitz is right. We didn't do anything. ...But, Spitz, we did guard you up to this point. Surely, we shouldn't get zero reward, right?"

He stared at Spitz.

"Fine, regardless of the other adventurer, you did a good job. Let's go, Kyousai. Let's kill the bandits and move on."

However, Kyousai...

"Sorry, but I need some kind of identification to enter the town, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Actually, I don't have that."

"What!? Kyousai, you're not an adventurer..."

"No, and my memory is a bit fuzzy..."

It was a complete lie.

"Is that so..."

He believed it without question.

"And, I have a question..."

...

...

...

(Well, let's try it out right away.)

Kyousai peeked at the bandits' stats.

(The leader has Swordsmanship Level 2 and Martial Arts Level 2, plus fire attribute. The others, except one, have Swordsmanship Level 1. It was surprising to find one with Cooking Level 1.)

Kyousai stole all the bandits' skills.

(The attributes were added too...)

Kyousai declined Spitz's offer to test the Skill Theft.

Due to his poor communication skills, he said things that made no sense.

Incidentally, the information Kyousai got from Spitz was about money.

The currency in this world is based on a base-100 system: 100 copper coins for 1 silver coin, 100 silver coins for 1 gold coin, 100 gold coins for 1 platinum coin, and 100 platinum coins for 1 black gold coin.

Incidentally, Kyousai received 3 silver coins from Spitz.

Kyousai tied up the bandits with a rope (given by Spitz) and woke them up.

"What the hell! Who are you!"

The first words the bandit leader said to Kyousai were these.

"Who I am doesn't matter. Tell me where you live."

Usually, bandits don't have a fixed residence, but Kyousai had a hunch and asked.

"By the way, I can't use magic."

"Damn..."

"Is there a place?"

"Kill me in one go!"

Kyousai stood up and punched the ground.

A loud "Thud!" echoed, and a crater formed.

Then, again.

"Is there a place?"

...

...

...

In the end, it was a big harvest.

(I didn't expect them to be part of a major bandit group.)

By threatening the bandit leader and forcing him to reveal the location, Kyousai found a large number of bandits.

Kyousai didn't kill them but incapacitated them all, tied them up, and stole their skills.

He didn't level up, but he gained skills, money, and weapons.

(I have quite a bit of money... Oh, there are platinum coins too.)

Kyousai didn't put them in the Item Box.

The money he obtained was...

2 platinum coins, 74 gold coins, about 530 silver coins, and about 280 copper coins.

(There were no black gold coins, as expected.)

Black gold coins are so rare that it's normal not to see them.

(The weapons and armor... I'll equip the ones that seem usable. Oh, there's a rarity system.)

Kyousai hadn't checked before, but most items have a rarity level.

In order: N (Normal), HN (High Normal), R (Rare), HR (High Rare), SR (Super Rare), UR (Ultra Rare), SCR (Secret Rare), LGR (Legend Rare).

These are the confirmed levels.

(N and HN... Which card game is this?)

Most weapons and armor were N or HN, with occasional R.

Kyousai took only the HN and R items but found something.

#

Anti-Magic Blade SR

Can somehow cut through magic attacks

#

(The explanation is so vague!!)

Kyousai muttered this while holding the blade.

(But, a blade... The blade level is low, but as a Japanese person, I feel a sense of duty. Plus, the performance is quite good.)

He equipped the blade and left the hideout.

Kyousai's equipment was light, with a black coat and black boots as armor. He didn't have fingerless gloves or an eye patch.

The inside of the coat needed to be changed, so he had to do it quickly.

Thus, he headed towards the Shikka Kingdom.

...

...

...

"Ah, ah. Right. I don't have an ID."

"Then? What's your purpose for entering?"

"I want to become an adventurer."

Due to Kyousai's poor communication skills, it took a while to get to the point.

"Got it. We'll check your criminal record now, so come this way."

"Understood."

(Typical...)

...

...

...

"Here we are! The Shikka Kingdom!"

Various magical devices confirmed that he had no criminal record.

Incidentally, he reported the discovery of the bandit hideout and received 5 gold coins.

(Huh, there are street vendors in this world too. And they're cheap.)

One copper coin here is equivalent to 100 yen in Japan.

He stopped in front of a store.

"...... Slave Shop"

We are always looking for skill names, unique attribute names, character names, monster names, magic names, and weapon/armor names!

All kanji, katakana, and all are OK.

Slave Shop? What's starting here? (Stick

Looking forward to your feedback.
