Elfaria Chapter 1

001. When I came to My Senses, I Was Transferred to Another World.

　One day, without warning, I was suddenly transported to another world, and then I was told by someone who seemed to be the king that, 

「Go and exterminate the Demon King!」

　How would you feel if you were ordered to leave the country and given weapons and a little money?

　Ranting, yelling, questioning―People may react in different ways, but in the case of me―Yuuto Orihara, none of these were applied.

　Because the first word that came to my mind was

「It's like a game!」

　I think I am crazy because I am frankly saying that. Just in case

　However, it does not mean that there are no thoughts or feelings at all.

　I am a city boy, born and raised in Tokyo, and both my parents are alive and well.

　I had no problems in school, and I was financially well off because I had a part-time job.

　Although I didn't have a girlfriend, I was leading a reasonably interesting life, and I regret the fact that it was suddenly cut short.

(I would have loved to read the continuation of those mangas...)

　When I think of one of my favorite adventure manga, I feel sad and empty ― the world is impermanent, that's all I can say.

　That said, the manga has been on hiatus for several years, so it's a little too late for that. ...... There are plenty of other similar regrets, but now that it's come to this, I'll just have to resign myself to thinking that I've been bitten by a dog.

　When I asked, the way to return to the original world is "unknown".

(That's a bit harsh, don't you think?).

　I was annoyed because I remembered the scum who called me out of the blue without asking any questions and then said with a look of no particular guilt on his face that he thought he was the king, but I decided to restrain myself because it was unlikely to win against the power of the state.

「I wonder what I will do now......」

　Wandering aimlessly through the city, I sat down on a bench in a fountain park that caught my eye and pondered my future.

　I put together the information I had obtained so far.

　*This world is called Elfaria, and it is home to a diverse mix of intelligent life forms, including humans.

　*The name of the country is Hanaria. The population is about 1.3 million, and agriculture and trade seem to be the main industries.

　*There are about 300,000 people living in the city, 70% of whom are human. The rests are beasts and subhumans, making it a nation of many different races.

　*Outside of the city, dangerous creatures called demonic beasts are roaming around.

　*In recent years, the existence called "Demon King" have been threatening various regions and countries, but few have been able to respond to those threats.

　*In this world, there exists a magical power called "Folia".

　*With few exceptions, anyone can use it.

　*The survival of the fittest. The strong are absolute.

「...... Guess, that's about it, isn't it?」

　There were a lot of things to think about and things to be picky about, but the thing that interested me the most was Foria.

　If it can be used by anyone, then, of course, it can be used by me. Besides

(If this world is like a game, then...)

　I muttered in a low voice, enduring my slight embarrassment.

「......[Status]」

　Immediately, a list of abilities appeared before my eyes.

「Ohhhh!」

　I had half-expected this, but the impact of actually seeing it was not small.

　While suppressing my racing heartbeat, I checked the status that appeared.

「Orihara Yuuto. 16 years old. Otherworldly. Level 1――.」

　There were also numbers assigned to other items such as STR, AGI, INT, and Luck, but I'll omit the details because, to put it bluntly, the numbers were quite crude. Also, the following items were listed

「『Possessive Skills』――right」

　The first item was there, but the rest of the list was blank.

　It's only natural since I haven't learned anything yet, and I'm sure this section will be filled in soon.

「It's really like "the game itself".」

　It helped me in a way—Is it okay to think that?

　I myself love RPGs, and I'm not at all bothered by the idea of going solo.

「Ultra-realistic RPG experience」

　I think that I can get along quite well in the world of Elfaria, but I also realize that there are still too many things that are missing.

　The problem that needs to be solved ASAP is money.

「He said, 『There are 100 wens in this bag, so you can get by for the time being』」

　So I opened the sachet and found five banknotes and a few coins.

「I guess a wen is a unit of currency, so the question is, what can I buy with this money? I'm not going to be able to live without figuring out how much it's worth.」

　Money has always been a problem, and it seems that the other world is no exception.

　Sigh ― on the one hand, I'm getting a little excited.

「The sun is still high, and although I can't read, I can speak the language. I can make it work.」

　With a sudden impulse, I got up and slapped my knees, and decided to take a stroll around the city at my leisure for the time being.
