When I opened my eyes, I was standing in the middle of a goblin village, surrounded by angry-looking goblins. My heart pounded in my chest as I took in my surroundings. The village was a chaotic mess of crude huts and makeshift buildings, with goblins running around in all directions. A large cauldron sat next to me, filled with bubbling green liquid. And dangling above it, I could see three people - two women and a man - who looked like they were about to be cooked alive.My mind raced as I tried to come up with a plan. I looked down at my wrists, and the two symbols - one for heaven and one for earth - that were now branded onto my skin. With a deep breath, I focused my mind on my black katana and willed it to my hand. I felt a rush of energy coursing through my body, and I was holding it once again. A commanding voice bellowed from one of the larger goblins near me, its guttural words unfamiliar to my ears. Thanks to Metatrons gifts, I understood its meaning: “Kill the intruder.”

Amidst the aftermath, while Ellie diligently gathered the ears of the fallen goblins and Eve continued her methodical looting, I found myself lost in a state of exhilaration. Despite my initial misstep, the aid of Metatron had transported me to this uncharted realm. The very air felt purer than anything I had ever known, each inhalation seemed to infuse me with invigorating oxygen, a testament to the world's lack of pollution. The battle, oh that glorious turmoil, made me feel more alive than ever. It was during such chaos that my senses were heightened to their fullest. Yet, I couldn't dismiss the words of my sensei, echoing with caution about the addictive allure of battle. Control, he emphasized, was the key to wielding such power responsibly.Magic coursed through me, a sensation unlike any I had experienced. My chi, once a mere puddle, now resembled a vast lake, deeper and more potent. The arcane energy of this realm surpassed that of my old world, and with it came the potential

As we walked through the gate, the first thing that struck me was how much I stood out. When I had cast the spell to come here, I was wearing the plainest clothes I had – a simple black T-shirt, faded blue jeans, white ankle socks, and scuffed black shoes. As I looked around, I realized that the local attire was quite different. The people of this world were clad in rough woolen shirts and plain wool or leather pants, and their attire, while practical, was far from what I was accustomed to. It didn't take long to notice the curious glances I was receiving from passersby."I need to get my hands on some clothes as soon as possible," I mumbled to myself, realizing the urgency of blending in.The city itself was a sight to behold. It had a charming blend of shops and vendors lining both sides of the bustling streets. On one hand, it resembled a vibrant marketplace with stalls selling colorful fruits and vegetables, while on the other, it featured quaint shops peddling everything from clo

I awoke pretty early, feeling well-rested even though I went to sleep late. My insomnia always keeps me up late at night. I yawned and stretched as I sat up. The sun had barely crested the horizon. I felt a bit sore after the fighting and walking yesterday, as well as the fight with Argus to become a member of the Adventurers guild, so I decided to do some stretches. Afterward, I recalled that Metatron had told me that he had put my survival kit from back home in my new bag. I called it with my mind, focusing on my new marks on each wrist, one the Japanese symbol for heaven and the other wrist the symbol for earth, and in each of my hands I now held a forty-pound cat litter container.Only, the litter had long since been gone. I used these because they were waterproof containers and they were big enough to fit all of my survival gear. I opened them up and started to take inventory of what I had. I originally put these together in case of a natural disaster or apocalyptic situation bac

Sunlight filtered through the inn's curtains, gently coaxing me awake from a night of deep slumber. As I blinked away the remnants of sleep, I couldn't help but appreciate the reassuring weight of my new knighthood signet ring adorning my finger. The previous day had been a whirlwind of revelations and achievements, and now, with the dawn of a new day, I felt a renewed sense of purpose. As I rose from my cozy bed at the First Inn, I couldn't help but reflect on the incredible journey that had led me to this magical and challenging world, filled with the promise of adventures yet to come.Leaving my room behind, I made my way to the inn's dining area. The friendly waitress promptly approached to take my breakfast order, which I decided should consist of bacon, sausage, and eggs. Glancing at the menu, I couldn't help but notice that the breakfast offerings were rather limited, notably missing one of my Earthly favorites: pancakes. I mused about the possibility of introducing them to thi
