"So... I'm in another world...?" Kazuki asked incredulously.
[... Yes.] The Great System responded.
"What's your name...?" Kazuki inquired.
[You can call me The Great System.] The System replied.
"Do you have any other nonsense to say...?" Kazuki asked, slightly annoyed.
[... No.] The System answered.
"Then, can you explain my current situation?" Kazuki requested.
[... No.] The System replied once again.
Kazuki, now slightly recovered from the shock, started to explore the palace he found himself in. The thought that he was in a completely different world was still sinking in. He couldn't believe his eyes and ears, especially with a voice in his head that responded to his every thought.
"This is ridiculous, talking to myself like this." Kazuki muttered to himself. "System... How stupid..."
[You stupid one.] The System retorted.
"Up to you..." Kazuki replied, realizing that he wasn't going to get anywhere arguing with the voice in his head.
Kazuki explored the palace for a long time, and realized that it was too big for him to thoroughly explore. The palace was massive, towering over twenty stories high, and the area was probably equivalent to half of his grandfather's land area. He couldn't help but be amazed by the grandeur of the palace, which had an aura that felt very similar to European style.
As he explored, Kazuki stumbled upon a room full of shiny and luxurious weapons. He was impressed, but didn't have time to examine them further. He couldn't spend too much time touring the palace, as he had other things to do.
In summary, Kazuki understood the most important thing about the palace. "It seems to be uninhabited, but it still maintains its structure very well. Surprisingly, there isn't a single speck of dust when I touched one of the tables here."
Eventually, Kazuki realized that he needed to get out of the palace to check the state of this new world. After running for some time, he finally arrived at the main exit.
"How do I open it?" Kazuki asked the System.
[... Withdrawn.] The System responded.
"Okay!" Kazuki replied, following the command from the System. With his left hand still injured, he pulled open the door with his right hand.
Kreaakk...
At this moment, Kazuki was stunned by the sight before him.
He took a deep breath and exclaimed, "What?! This is a palace in the middle of a forest?!"
As he attempted to explore the area, he came across a monster with a lumpy body that was extremely large.
"J-Jelly walking?!!!" Kazuki was once again shocked by something he had never seen before.
Suddenly, the jelly monster sprayed a huge volume of liquid at him.
Swosh... Burned...!!!!!!!!
"Shit! What kind of creature is this?!" Kazuki exclaimed in panic, and in that moment, a statistic about the creature was displayed right before his eyes.
[Slime King!]
Rank: S-
Levels: 300
Strength: 2,000
Agility: 1,000
Stamina: 3,000
Intelligence: 7,000
Vitality: 1,000
"System, what is this?" asked Kazuki as a transparent screen kept appearing in front of him repeatedly.
Upon seeing the display showing something different, he immediately queried the system for more information.
[... Information about monsters.]
"Monsters?!" Kazuki exclaimed in shock. Without thinking much, he rushed towards the palace door in a state of panic.
Before entering the palace, he turned back to glance at the monster, only to realize that an invisible barrier was blocking its entry into the forecourt.
"Wasn't this barrier absent before...?" asked Kazuki, confused by the sudden appearance of the barrier.
[... It's a barrier that blocks anything the owner of the Palace doesn't want from entering his courtyard.]
"So..." Kazuki breathed a sigh of relief as the system provided an explanation for the barrier's appearance. He no longer felt afraid to look at the monster.
After pondering for a moment, he remembered that he had previously entered an armory that was full of weapons.
"...I should try my luck there," he thought to himself.
With renewed confidence, Kazuki sprinted to the warehouse and asked the system, "Which is the strongest weapon here?"
[... All the main weapons are kept in the master cupboard.]
"Okay!" Kazuki exclaimed, determined to find a weapon that could help him. He then proceeded to select a spear from the cupboard, hoping that it would aid him in his impending battle.
[Spear Gods!]
Type: Weapon
The strongest spear that belonged to the Ancient Emperor, nothing in this world could destroy it, with its destructive power, this weapon was ready to kill everything.
Can return to the user after being thrown.
"This is really crazy!" Kazuki was amazed by the weapon's description.
The shape was very cool, with a pitch-black coating that made Kazuki fall in love with it.
Run!
Kazuki immediately ran as fast as possible while carrying the spear in his right hand.
Seeing that the monster was still in the same place, Kazuki then asked the system, "How do I use it?"
[... Up to you.]
"Okay!" Kazuki replied.
Without much thought, he felt close enough to the monster and threw the spear with all his might.
Throw...
Swoshhhhhhhh!!!!!
The spear shot out at an extremely fast speed that made no sense, even for Kazuki's weak throw.
Finally, the spear hit the monster's body.
Jleb!
Scroshhhh!!!!
"Euuuukkkkk!!!!!" The monster let out a terrible cry.
The spear pierced through the monster's body in a single throw, instantly crushing it.
[Congratulations! You've leveled up!]
“Hahh… Hahh… Hahh…” Kazuki panted heavily, his body becoming very limp after throwing the spear with all his might.
"... How could it be?" Kazuki was slightly surprised by the result. He thought he would need several weapons to kill that monster.
"But only once...?" Kazuki asked the system, "Hey System, what does 'Leveling Up' mean?"
Without answering him, the system immediately paid attention to a statistic.

“Woahhh... These stats...” Kazuki was dumbfounded by what was displayed and he wanted to make sure.
[...Those are your stats.]
"Excellent!" shouted Kazuki while raising both his hands.
[...Stats will increase according to your affinity and fighting style.]
"Okay! Then for titles... Better hide it, it doesn't really matter!" After enjoying the sweetness of victory for a long time, he also felt astonished by something.
"System... Why don't I feel stronger or something?"
[...What do you think?]
Hearing that answer, Kazuki could only shake off his thoughts and replied, "Nothing."
In this world, it was still morning, while on Earth, it was already night.
'Isn't this the best?' he thought. Well... forget it!
Looking in the direction where the monster was killed, Kazuki saw that its corpse had melted and there were some items left behind. Out of curiosity, Kazuki approached them and saw a ball and a... "Necklace?"
*** [Magic Stones] Type: Material Rank: S- Magic stones can be used as materials for making magic tools, these stones can be obtained from monsters that have a magic core with high magic power. [King Deity Necklace] Type: Accessories Charisma +2,000 A necklace that has some of the charisma of a King, a necklace that is highly sought after by others because of its prowess, but this necklace is so rare that it makes its price very expensive. "...This is great!!" exclaimed Kazuki in great joy! He had obtained hundreds of thousands of yen in cash, the Secret Palace of the Ancient Emperors, and even weapons of unreasonable power! “The warehouse is much more mysterious than I thought...” muttered Kazuki while looking intently at the door. The door was hidden in the middle of the palace, so he was a bit confused when he wanted to look for it again. "...Then what about my hand...?" he said while looking at his unusable left hand. Previously when he killed that monster slime, Kaz
On the first day after resting for the day before, Kazuki was ready to train his body. However, he didn't want to exercise normally like most people do. Instead, he wanted to train his body by learning how to use weapons like the ancient emperor in the palace! Despite weighing 150 kg and standing at a height of 174 cm, Kazuki was determined to achieve his goal by the end of the month. The first weapon he decided to learn was the spear, which he studied by reading martial arts books. Despite his injured left hand, he was able to learn and practice the techniques. "I'm ready to start. Let's do this!" said Kazuki. [...Yes.] Kazuki then demonstrated spear techniques repeatedly, even with just one hand. Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Kazuki continued practicing the techniques until it got dark, switching to different techniques along the way. *** "Hahh... Hahh... Hahh... This is really tiring, but also fun!" he exclaimed as he put the weapon back in its pl
*** Kazuki searched thoroughly, even trying to find the narrowest crevices. After a long time of searching, he finally found a new pair of clothes that his grandfather had never worn before. "One white long-sleeved shirt, and one black pair of trousers," Kazuki said as he took out the clothes from his case and checked to see if they fit him. Maybe because his grandfather was old, the size of the clothes he had were too small and short for Kazuki to wear, so he had a hard time finding one that suited him. "The length is quite suitable and the height is also just right. Alright, here we go!" exclaimed Kazuki cheerfully. Finally, Kazuki had found clothes that suited him, but he knew he needed to buy new ones for the future. He also wore the necklace he had obtained after killing the weird jelly to add some color to his outfit so that it didn't look flat and unflattering. "I hope there are lots of good but cheap clothes available. I'll have to go to the shopping center to find them
*** After the shooting session ended, Kazuki found a nearby seat and rested there. "Ughhhh..." It was the first time Kazuki had done modeling, and he felt that forcing a stiff expression was too much. step... step... Turning towards the footsteps, Kazuki saw that Marin was now approaching him while carrying two glasses of hot chocolate. "Do you want one?" asked Marin, offering a hot chocolate to Kazuki. "Ah, thank you," he replied while taking the hot chocolate. Marin immediately sat beside Kazuki and drank her hot chocolate. Sruppttt... "Ahh~... It's delicious..." Kazuki then drank his. Sruptt... "...It's delicious." Glancing at Kazuki, Marin softly asked him, "Hey, what's your name, and how should I address you?" Kazuki lightly answered, "My name is Igarashi Kazuki, you can call me by my first name~..." "Wahhh... Alright, I'll call you Kazuki-kun, okay?" asked Marin while looking at Kazuki's face. "It doesn't matter." "Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced myself. M
*** After purchasing his cell phone, they decided to head home. "Hey Kazuki-kun, how did you learn to move so quickly? Did you study martial arts?" asked Marin curiously. "...Well... my family clan has always been an ancient samurai clan... And if you're asking if I practice martial arts, then the answer is yes," explained Kazuki slowly. "Wow...!! You practice martial arts! Really?!" Marin's eyes lit up when she heard that Kazuki was a martial artist. "Correct..." Marin had previously admired Kazuki's sturdy physique, but that wasn't the main reason she liked him. The main reason was that Kazuki had a very kind nature and could make someone feel very comfortable around him, but also had a ferocious side. "Where is your house? Can I come over?" Marin asked with a pitiful but enthusiastic face. "Of course, feel free to come to my house whenever you want." "Then where is your home address?" Kazuki looked around the surrounding area before asking for Marin's cellphone. "Lend me y
*** "...Sword or spear, which one will I take with me for my first trip..." Kazuki was a little confused about what weapon he would bring. [Sword God!] Type: Weapon A sword made with blood and tears, countless sacrifices were made to make this sword that could even split the firmament, an indestructible sword because it was made from many souls who sacrificed just to make this weapon. The battle cry will always flow in the user's blood when fighting with this sword which will increase the penetration damage dealt. After Kazuki put on the armor hanging beside the cupboard, he was a bit confused and thought for a few minutes about what weapon he would bring. Speaking of armor, according to Kazuki, the appearance of the armor itself was too cool but also very terrifying. The armor was solid black, with lots of strange symbols and lines on each side, and was adorned with many small horns in each corner, giving it a scary look. Even on his shoulders, it had a shape that resembled a
*** At this time, a large cavalry procession with horse-drawn carriages was passing through a road in the midst of an extremely wide and dense forest. A knight on horseback, clad in full armor, who had previously been at the forefront, now slowed down and rode his horse into one of the nearby carriages. The carriage window also opened slowly. "What about the road ahead, Robert?" asked the princess, who was in the carriage. Robert, who was now listening to the question, replied, "The road conditions ahead are still quite safe, there is no danger ahead." Staring at that face full of doubts, Robert asked the princess, "Erm... Princess... Is there a problem...?" "Just a moment…" the princess whispered as she closed her eyes quietly. Not long after, Robert felt the aura of an extremely terrifying monster in front of him, and he felt not only one aura, but many auras! "Alert for battle!!! Alert for battle!!!!! There's a monster ahead!! There's a monster ahead!!!!" One of the soldier
*** The state of the battle now being faced by Robert is dire. Out of the 300 elite soldiers he had brought with him for escort, only 89 soldiers were still alive. The number of deaths was terrifying compared to the monsters they killed, only 7 low level monsters and 4 danger level monsters they managed to kill! As for the other levels that are quite dangerous and really terrible? They were having fun slaughtering the soldiers and enjoying torturing them. "Uwarrghhhh!!!! My legs! Please just kill me!!!" "No!!! Don't eat me-!!" "Bast*rd!! Monster bitch!!" "Let's die together you darn monsters!" Many screams and cries were heard on the battlefield, cries of hatred and fear shouted by the soldiers. Some commanders had managed to kill low-level monsters, but they also put their lives on the line in the process. Robert, who had bravely fought monsters before, was now covered in blood as he guarded the carriage with all his strength. As for the princess, she cast numerous spells
*** The 29th Floor Defence, the monster known as "Shadowfang," was a terrifying creature. Its black-furred body enclosed powerful muscles, and its red eyes exuded killing intent. With sharp teeth and menacing claws, it was a deadly predator. "Grhhhhh...!!!" Kazuki faced it calmly, his sharp eyes looking at the monster. The Time Space Spear in his hand shone with a silvery blue light, hinting at the power ready to be unleashed. He stepped forward, ready to fight this monster. Dash-!!! "Roaarrr-!!!" The monster let out a thunderous roar, and its first attack came quickly. Kazuki dodged nimbly, dodging its sharp claws. In an instant, he was already at the monster's side, and with a swift movement, his spear stabbed towards the creature's shoulder. "Die for me-!!!" Croshhh-!!! The monster cried out in pain, but its attack became even more ferocious. Kazuki moved with great speed and skill, dodging the deadly attacks. He jumped into the air, avoiding the monster's bite. Avoid-!!!
*** The door of the room opened and King Ray entered the room with a firm step. Kazuki and the ministers greeted him. Without further ado, Kazuki immediately asked, "What is the reason for your arrival here, King Ray?" King Ray smiled calmly, showing his maturity and wisdom. He stated his intention firmly. "I will get straight to the point, I came to ask for help and establish a strong political relationship with the Arthia Empire led by you, Emperor Kazuki." Kazuki and the ministers were surprised by this request. However, Kazuki understood that this step could be the key to overcoming a greater threat and developing a strong ally. He stepped forward with a steady step, "Explain, King Ray. Why do you want us to be allies? Won't you be hostile by other Kingdoms?" King Ray explained about the threat that was threatening his country. He revealed that they had also faced terrible pressure from other countries, and even if that failed, they still had other problems in terms of food, a
*** The adventurers responded quickly, unleashing their best fighting skills. Move-!! Srasshhhhhh-!!!! The sound of weapons clashing, magic exploding, and battle cries echoed along the dark alleys. "Earth creation-!!" Booommmmm-!!!! Step- Dashhhh-!!! "Mage-!! A few steps beside the Tanker there is a barrel containing vampires hiding-!! So, quickly destroy it-!!" "I'll do it-!!" Roarrrrr-!!! Flash- The vampires tried to attack brutally, but the adventurers overcame their fear and fought back, but the vampires were easily suppressed by them because they had more numbers. The battle was fierce, with blood and sweat mixing, filling the air with a turbulent energy. Scrassshhhh-!!! Avoid- Split!!! After a heavy battle, the adventurers finally managed to defeat the vampires. The ferocious creatures turned into dust, disappearing in the night wind. The adventurers breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt admiration for each other's determination and courage. "Hahhhh... Hahh
*** In the negotiation room, a tense atmosphere prevailed as Kazuki put forth his opinion. "Aizen, I understand that your plan has good intentions," Kazuki said calmly, "but I have a different idea that might be more effective." Aizen stared at Kazuki in surprise but allowed him to explain. "What do you propose, Master?" Kazuki elaborated on his plan in detail, outlining how they could seek assistance from Hermit, the Head of the Adventurer's Guild in Nivaria City. "I believe that we can gain broader help and information through Hermit's network. Additionally, we can conduct our investigation more covertly this way." Aizen pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement. "You make a valid point. Let's involve Hermit in our efforts." *** Kazuki and Aizen agreed to invite Hermit to the headquarters of the War Division. Hermit was a wise and experienced individual who possessed extensive knowledge about the situation in Nivaria City. At least, he understood Nivaria City far bett
Sruuppttt... "Ahhhhh~" The morning sunlight streamed through Kazuki's bedroom window as he sat at his neatly arranged desk, sipping his coffee. Stare Stacks of reports and balance sheets lay scattered on his laptop in front of him, reflecting a busy activity after the thrilling meeting last night. Ring~ Ring~ Ring~ Suddenly, the communicator on his desk vibrated, but it wasn't an ordinary message; it was an emergency message. "Hmmm...? What's going on?" Kazuki quickly grabbed it and read the message. His face turned serious as he read the news about a vampire attack in the city of Nivaria and injured members of the War Division! "Vampire attack... and injured members?" Kazuki mumbled to himself, slightly puzzled. Until now, he hadn't known about this. Nevertheless, the situation seemed very serious since it warranted an emergency message. He knew they wouldn't use an emergency message unless the issue was beyond their control. He knew quick and precise action was required.
*** "Koga-!! Get over here and attack the bastard attacking from the tree-!!!" Koga roared madly when he realized that the attacks launched by these vampires were very diverse. "Okay-!!" Without much ado, Aizen immediately pointed his magic staff at the vampire and shouted, "Phoenix Rebirth-!!" In an instant, Aizen conjured a massive fireball with a diameter that was extremely large and directed it towards the vampire with a devastating power-!! Fireburst-!! Burn-!! However, the vampire easily dodged it. But before he could place his foot on the tree branch beside him, suddenly an arrow coated with white light pierced his heart. Thud- Crunchhhh-!!! "Aggghhhh-!!!!" Crash-!! And then, the vampire collapsed to the ground. Aizen glanced to his side, seeing that there were still around 12 vampires remaining that they needed to eliminate in order to secure their safety and gather information about them. "Aizen-!! Behind you-!!" Smirk... Hearing that, Aizen smiled slightly an
Kazuki showcases his expertise. All of his ideas and concepts in creating this game silence those who sneered at him. "The technology that can scan the brain and intricately map it into a computer, this is the technology successfully developed by America. Then, for the data processing part, the Chips from China are the best as they can process data much faster than other chips. And then the steps we need to take for..." Impressed- The implementation of VRMMORPG technology requires numerous trial runs, especially considering that the market reach of The Utopia will encompass the entire world. With this conference, Kazuki can attract numerous potential individuals from all around the globe to join him and expedite the perfection of the game. Infrastructure development, server maintenance, full dive creation, marketing, management, and other aspects require at least millions of human resources for that-!! Which will bring about a vast field of employment opportunities for the masses-
*** Actually, 12 hours before the major meeting at the UN headquarters, Kazuki met someone through his connection with President Ronald. That person was Chairman Bradley, the Secretary-General of the UN. "W-what did you just say... you abducted them all, then controlled them-?!!!!!!!" Bradley shouted in disbelief, echoing in his quiet living room. Kazuki activated his "God of War" skill, causing Bradley to feel the aura and shiver in fear. “…!!!” In his own home's room, Bradley now resembled a trapped mouse facing its predator. "Bradley, if we eliminate the de facto power of a country within the UN, you are the highest-ranking person in the world. If you were given two choices, the first being a human, or the second being a demon, which would you choose?" Kazuki calmly said while crossing his arms. "What-what is that? Obviously, I would choose the first one." Grinned...!! "Huhuhuhuhhh, good! You've given the right answer. You know, in the world of politics, there are no etern
*** A significant news resurfaced, with world leaders arriving one by one in their private planes to attend a major meeting at the United Nations headquarters. Chairman Bradley, the Secretary-General of the UN, confirmed the truth of this news as he was suddenly contacted by all the world leaders to prepare for the meeting. "What is your response to the disappearance of the previous world leaders?" a reporter asked Bradley as he walked into the building. Shaking his head lightly, Bradley replied, "I don't know, and I don't intend to inquire about that from them either." The questions then shifted to other matters. Everyone wondered about the reason behind this sudden meeting. The current atmosphere was one of contentment due to the cessation of warfare, but the sudden news reignited fear among many as they speculated about the new topic that would be discussed in the meeting. It remained uncertain whether they would discuss war or something else that might be detrimental. And wit
