My Isekai Life in Hard Mode ANY MEANS
"Do I have to stand up and go up there?" he asked himself, his voice barely a whisper, almost lost in the vast auditorium.He was rooted to his seat for a brief moment, gripped by an almost paralyzing hesitation. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest, each beat echoing in his ears like a drum. The enormity of the task ahead weighed heavily on him, but he knew he couldn't let fear hold him back. Summoning every ounce of willpower, he shook off the doubt and slowly rose to his feet. The sensation was almost dreamlike as if he were floating rather than walking, each step guided by an unseen force that carried him toward the stage with a surprising sense of resolve."I don't want to go up there," he thought, vividly recalling his middle school days. Back then, the mere idea of standing before the class to give a presentation filled him with dread. He could still recall the clammy palms, the dry mouth, and the way his voice would tremble uncontrollably. And now, he was expected t

Ryoshu was on the verge of shaking his head vigorously in refusal. He could feel his muscles tensing, ready to execute the motion, but somehow, inexplicably, the microphone ended up in his hand in less than the blink of an eye. It was as if the universe had conspired against him in that fleeting moment. The cold metal of the microphone pressed into his palm, its unexpected presence grounding and alarming. The weight of it anchored him to the spot, preventing any escape."Yes, may I speak?" His voice echoed through the vast expanse of the auditorium, magnified by the sound system and reaching every corner of the room. The unexpected amplification startled him, and he could almost hear a collective murmur of surprise from the audience. The sound waves bounced off the high ceilings and walls, creating an almost ethereal reverberation that made his simple question feel profound and commanding.'Huh???' he thought, bewildered. How had this happened? One moment, he was preparing to shrink
My Isekai Life in Hard Mode Absolute Pressure
"I don't even see this as a challenge," Ryoshu declared confidently, his voice carrying an air of nonchalance that seemed to dismiss the situation entirely. The room fell silent as his words echoed, leaving everyone present in a state of bewilderment. Yet, this was just the beginning of the strange events unfolding.'What am I saying? I never meant to say that! What is happening to my mouth?' Ryoshu's thoughts raced in confusion and panic. His mind was a whirlwind of disbelief and frustration as he struggled to comprehend why his mouth betrayed him so blatantly.Despite his desperate attempts to stop, his mouth continued to speak words that felt alien, as if someone else were pulling the strings. It was a sensation akin to being a puppet on a stage, forced to recite lines from a script he had never seen before. Each word that left his lips seemed to mock his inability to regain control."I have no expectations from those weaker than myself," he continued, his voice unwavering even tho

"So... now I find myself playing the part of a guy who's not only incredibly lucky but also has a penchant for boasting? A certified clown, huh? Well, I suppose it's not all bad... at least that fall managed to eliminate many of my enemies."Ryoshu muttered these words under his breath, the taste of irony heavy on his tongue. The scene around him was still a blur of motion and noise, the aftermath of his spectacular mishap. The faces of his peers were a mixture of amusement, shock, and some poorly hidden delight. Yet, standing out in the chaotic background was Ms. Rufus. Her usually stern face was softened by concern as she pushed through the small crowd that had gathered."Are you alright... um, are you hurt?" she asked gently, her voice a calm oasis amidst the hubbub. She knelt beside him, her movements slow and deliberate, as if she were afraid of causing him further pain.Ms. Rufus's presence starkly contrasted with the cold tile floor and the harsh fluorescent lights overhead.

My Isekai Life in Hard Mode Transformation
Midnight was supposed to deliver a speech laden with profound disappointment to everyone in the room. His words were meant to cut deep, to convey a sense of loss and frustration that would resonate with every person listening. However, the lines that had just escaped his lips were not a replica of the original script. They had been subtly altered and tweaked to align more closely with the current situation. This ensured that the message resonated more deeply with the present context, making it all the more impactful.Ryoshu, who found himself in this role, starkly contrasted Midnight. Unlike someone who possesses everything but despises it all, Ryoshu is just an ordinary person devoid of any significant possessions. He didn't have wealth or status, but what he did have, he cherished deeply. His life was simple, yet he found joy and love in almost everything he owned, no matter how insignificant it might seem to others.Moments earlier, the audience had been engulfed in silence. Thei
My Isekai Life in Hard Mode Eagerness
After the grand opening ceremony—one that could only be described as rather tedious if we’re being honest—drew to a close, the upper-level students wasted no time descending upon the new students to recruit them into various clubs. It was a bustling scene, filled with vibrant pitches and lively discussions, each club trying to outshine the other to attract fresh members. Tables lined the sprawling campus green, each draped with colorful banners and adorned with flyers and posters. Donning distinctive uniforms or insignias, club members called out to the passing students, their voices blending into a cacophony of persuasive enthusiasm.Amidst this organized chaos, one individual remained conspicuously overlooked. He stood at the crowd's edge, unnoticed by the bustling upper-level and eager first-year students. It wasn't for lack of effort; everyone knew precisely why he was ignored, though it was a topic that seldom surfaced in conversation. His eyes, dark and thoughtful eyes, survey
My Isekai Life in Hard Mode He doesn't have any friends
"Look at that empty-headed loudmouth over there, wandering all by himself," one person remarked, their tone dripping with disdain. The speaker, a tall individual with a sharp, angular face, crossed their arms over their chest, eyes following the lone figure with amusement and contempt."With a personality like his, it's no wonder he doesn't have any friends," another chimed in, shaking their head in disbelief. This second voice belonged to a shorter, rounder person whose expression was an exaggerated pity as if they genuinely felt sorry for the solitary walker despite their harsh words."Did you see that fall he took just a moment ago? It was so mortifying that I felt like digging a hole and jumping in it on his behalf," added a third, barely suppressing their laughter. This person, a lanky youth with a mischievous glint in their eyes, could hardly contain their amusement as they recalled the recent incident where the lone figure had stumbled and fallen in a rather ungraceful manne
My Isekai Life in Hard Mode Black
Standing before the petite girl with striking blue hair, Ryoshu reached into his pocket and retrieved a small bandage. He held it out to her, his expression a mixture of concern and mild impatience."Here, use this," he said, his voice firm but not unkind. "It's better than sitting there crying."Luna, who had been lost in her world of misery, looked up at him, her eyes wide with surprise. "H-huh? You are Blac—" she began but abruptly stopped, covering her mouth with both hands as if she had let a forbidden secret slip.Ryoshu was momentarily taken aback. He hadn't expected this reaction and was puzzled by the unfamiliar nickname she had almost called him. He had acquired a new moniker without his knowledge."Black...? Um, well, I'm Ryoshu, not Black-whatever," he said, shaking his head slightly. "Anyway, just take this," he insisted, extending the bandage closer to her.Luna hesitated, her fingers nervously fidgeting in her lap. Her discomfort was palpable, and she was clearly str

Case Closed
Charlotte's sigh was heavy with the weight of her disappointment. Her eyes locked onto the paper she held, searching for hidden meaning in the inked numbers. The quiet room seemed to echo with her despondence. Her brows knitted together, and her lips pursed in a faint frown. "I only got 200 points... so I'm ranked 13th," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, each word laced with a palpable sense of frustration and regret. "Katia got 235 points and is ranked 11th."Ever attentive to his friend's emotions, Haruki moved closer, his expression softening with empathy. His blue hair fell into his eyes as he leaned in, a small, comforting smile on his lips. "You both were so close, weren't you?" he said, his tone gentle and encouraging. "If it hadn't been for those demon worshippers at the end, our whole group would have made it into the top 10.Charlotte's gaze shifted from the paper to Haruki, her mind replaying the chaotic events of the competition's final moments.

The script of the game
"What on earth is going on?" he muttered, utterly bewildered by the sight before him. The scene was so unexpected that it left him momentarily stunned. Although he lacked the courage to step inside, his curiosity got the better of him, and he cautiously peered in. Just at the entrance of the dormitory, Haruki and Charlotte were deeply engrossed in an unusually intimate conversation, their heads close together, sharing words he couldn't quite hear."They look so close... why does this scene seem so familiar?" he thought, a profound sense of déjà vu washing over him. The familiarity was unsettling. "This is the scene right after that cold, unfeeling guy Midnight—supposed to be a Star student—challenges the academy."Reflecting further, he realized, "Because I've temporarily taken his place, now everything is unfolding as it should... according to the script of the game Rainfall Disorder."As he stood there, lost in his thoughts and trying to piece everything together, a group of other

Freedom
"See you later... but... next time, please don't pull on someone else's shirt like that..."At that precise moment, it seemed that the petite angelic girl had just realized she was clutching the hem of Ryoshu's shirt. Her eyes widened in sudden awareness, and she quickly let go as if the fabric had burned her fingers. What stood out most in this scene was the incredible proximity of their heads. Their faces were so close that even the slightest movement could have resulted in an undeniably awkward situation, almost as if the air between them had thickened with tension.Ryoshu's mind raced, struggling to process the sudden nearness. The image of a tomato was the only thing he could conjure to describe Luna's face, which had flushed a vibrant, almost luminous shade of red. Her cheeks seemed to glow with embarrassment, and he could practically feel the heat radiating from her skin.This moment was incredibly challenging for someone like Ryoshu, who was acutely sensitive and easily flust

"Instead of paying for tuition right away, I'll invest in the shares of potential guilds with promising futures," he mused aloud, his eyes shimmering with a glint of ambition. Securing financial growth through guild investments excited him; it seemed a wise move in a world where connections and wealth often determined one's success. "And if I gather enough goods, I might even consider starting a small business in the Trading Guild."The thought filled him with a sense of purpose and hope. He could already see the possibilities unfold before him—ventures that would bring wealth and establish his reputation in the bustling city. Money, he understood, was not merely a tool for survival but a powerful key to opening doors to numerous opportunities and connections.In the quieter corners of his mind, the stark reality of his ambitions loomed large. "In the future, the amount of money I'll need is no small sum," he murmured, his tone shifting to one of sober reflection. Supporting the ta

The bank
Upon hearing the alarming beep of the error sound, the saleswoman immediately hurried over. Her steps were quick and purposeful, a clear indication of her concern. As she approached, she leaned closer to the counter, her eyes searching for the source of the problem, and asked, "Are you out of money, dear?"The young man, visibly flustered, responded with a slight tremble, "No... please wait a moment. It seems there might be an error." His fingers moved swiftly over the device, trying to troubleshoot the issue with an almost palpable urgency. Sweat began to form on his brow as he frantically tried to resolve the situation.Standing right beside Ryoshu, the saleswoman scrutinized him with a look that betrayed her suspicion. Her eyebrows knitted together, and her lips pressed into a thin line as she tried to decipher what was going wrong. Her eyes darted between Ryoshu and the device, seeking any clue that might explain the unexpected error.Ryoshu felt the weight of her gaze bearing do

Insufficient funds for transaction
"Ryoshu... What are you looking at out there?" Charlotte called out to him, her voice tinged with concern after he had been silent for an unusually long time.Startled from his thoughts, Ryoshu turned towards them, his face pale and eyes wide as if he had just seen a ghost. The unsettling expression made both Charlotte and Haruki exchange worried glances.'Could it be... these two?' Ryoshu wondered internally, his mind racing. 'Is it because they know me or because they are actively engaging with me? If that's the case... I need to come up with a plan quickly. These scenes are making me sick!!!'Desperately trying to compose himself, Ryoshu quickly blurted out, "Oh, um... I saw a white cat passing by, but it's nothing special." He cringed inwardly, realizing it was one of the lamest excuses he had ever concocted.Charlotte raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued but not fully satisfied. "A white cat, you say?""Yeah," Ryoshu stammered, nodding a bit too vigorously. "It just caught my

Lost Control
"Wow, looking over this list again, it's clear just how impressive Amemura is. He scored an incredible 600 points, outpacing Midnight by a substantial margin of 100 points!"Ryoshu'sRyoshu's friend exclaimed, eyes wide with amazement as they reviewed the freshly printed results. The numbers were still crisp on the page, highlighting Amemura's name at the top with a bold score beside it. Ryoshu, however, seemed preoccupied as he fumbled with a newspaper he had just picked up."This... just came out... I didn't have a chance to hear the scores earlier, but... it doesn't," Ryoshu muttered, his voice trailing off as he opened the newspaper. He was soon engrossed, his eyes moving methodically across the columns of text. Despite his initial nonchalance, he found himself compelled to read each word meticulously. A sense of helplessness washed over him as he realized he had no choice but to absorb every detail. The weight of the information bore down on him, making him feel like he was being

"Well, I only got 200 points, so I'm ranked 13th. But Katia got 235 points and is ranked 11th," Charlotte sighed, her eyes scanning the paper in her hand with a mix of disappointment and resignation.Seeing the sadness on his friend's face, Haruki felt a pang of empathy and immediately sought to comfort her. His voice was gentle yet filled with a determination to lift her spirits."Both of you were so close, weren't you? If it hadn't been for those demon worshippers causing trouble at the end, our whole group might have made it into the top 10," he said, trying to inject positivity into the situation.Charlotte nodded slightly, appreciating his effort but still feeling the sting of their narrow miss. "I'm not so sure about that... but we should still celebrate the 2... no, now 3 of us who made it into the top 10! Maybe we could go out for dinner tonight... have a little party or something?"As she spoke, Charlotte absentmindedly twirled a lock of her shiny golden hair around her finge

They walked through it unharmed, and not only that, they managed to carry on a lively conversation, smiling as if they were taking a casual stroll. The air was filled with their laughter and light-hearted banter, starkly contrasting the tense situation at hand. "Do you think we'll be alright?" one of them asked, their voice tinged with curiosity and concern.Ryoshu's mind was racing. He vividly remembered the second scene, every detail etched into his memory, and knew he had to act swiftly. The weight of urgency pressed down on him, his thoughts a chaotic whirl as he considered the implications. "I hope the scene hasn't progressed too far… I need to hurry…" he muttered under his breath, feeling the pressure mount. Without wasting another moment, he took a deep breath and plunged into the invisible curtain that separated him from his goal.The instant he entered, an eerie sensation washed over him. Once responsive and under his control, his body began to betray him. It was as if an u
