<b>Chapter 1</b>\nI squinted my eyes at the blinding light and found myself standing in a familiar room. It was a room in the apartment I used to live in before I was transferred to another world.

It’s just a short walk from the station, but it’s on the 4th floor with 8 tatami mats room, 1k flooring, separate bathroom, and toilet with a reasonable price.

“It’s been three years since I’ve seen it, so it’s not exactly familiar.”

There was a faint warm glow coming from the closed curtains.

As I recall, I was transferred to a different world on a chilly night, just after I came home from work on the weekend..

I looked at the clock with a calendar function on my bedside table.

It said Monday, April 20, 15:00.

“Huh…?”

Thinking about it, it seems to be much warmer than the day I transferred. I believe it was supposed to be at the end of March when I transferred from this room to the other world.

“It’s been almost a month…”

It should be more than a month.

The difference between three years and a month is quite large, but what would happen to my life in this world after being absent without notice for a month?

I hurriedly picked up my phone that was on the bed and started to operate it.

“…Obviously.”

The battery was out of power. It was only natural since my phone had been left unused for a month.

I plugged my phone into the charging cable and decided to change my clothes first, as it was no use to be in a hurry now.

My current appearance was that of the armor I had worn in the other world. If I went out like this, I would soon be in trouble with the police before I could get a job.

When I took off the equipment and changed into my room clothes, the ring on my thumb caught my eye and I suddenly came up with a thought.

“Item box… Is it still working…?”

I try to put magic power into the ring like I did in the other world. This is a magic item that Lobelia made for me, since I can’t send magic power into space.

With a buzzing sound, a small dimensional hole opens up near the ring.

“It’s opened…”

I stick my hand in and pull the things in and out.

It seems to be working fine.

Due to the ring and the amount of magic power, it was not as large as my other companions, but still, I think this item box is quite a cheat in this world.

…I think it’s only worth some convenience, except for using it for bad things.

Then I picked up the steel can that was on the table that I had used to drink the coffee.

I could use the item box, then I wondered what happened to my physical abilities. With a slightly trembling hand, I grabbed the top of the can with my index finger and thumb.

When I put a lot of pressure on it, it crushed without difficulty as if I had used a vise to crush it.

“I’ll have to check this out later…”

If all of my abilities from the other world are still intact, I could be the best in the world at almost any sport, especially martial arts and athletics that don’t require the use of tools.

However, if I can’t maintain my strength, I’ll be in a lot of trouble, and I honestly don’t want to live in such a prominent situation in the first place.

I have a little bit of money saved up, but since I’m probably going to be fired from my job after being missing for a month without a notice, I’ll just think of it as an insurance policy for the worst of the worst.

It would have been nice if I had a status board from the other world that would have shown me the abilities of those I touched.

I decided to examine the abilities later, and headed for the kitchen, as I was feeling hungry.

The first thing I saw was a puddle of water drenching the bottom of the refrigerator.

“Hey come on, give me a break…”

It wouldn’t be possible for the electricity to be shut off just because I hadn’t paid the bill for a month, or was there a blackout?

I cleaned up the water with kitchen paper in the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and then I figured it out.

There was no cold air inside and no lights on. Perhaps the power is out at the moment.

“Perhaps, I should go out and buy something.”

Fortunately, there is a convenience store nearby. That was one of the reasons why I chose this apartment.

I unplugged my phone from the charger, grabbed my wallet and keys, and headed for the front door.

I looked at the circuit breaker there, but it hadn’t tripped.

Could there have been an earthquake or something?

While remembering that in a corner of my mind if there was such a news before I transferred, I opened the front door and left the room.

Then I noticed that there was a person standing in the hallway of the apartment building that I couldn’t see because it was behind the door.

He was standing in front of the door of the room two doors away, with his back to me and his body swaying.

He had short brown hair and judging from his build, he was probably a man. He was wearing an unusual down jacket for spring, and his clothes were quite dirty.

Then I closed the door with a not so small sound..

When I turned my attention to the surroundings, I noticed that not only the man’s clothes, but also this shared space was quite dirty.

It wasn’t the cleanest apartment, but it shouldn’t have been this bad.

Rather, these red and brown stains are… blood?

Perhaps he noticed the sound of the door closing, the person who was facing opposite of me turned his body to me with a slow gait.

There was no blood on the man’s face, but his unzipped jacket was torn at the belly and his shirt was covered in blood, and his neck was gouged and slanted.

“…Seriously?”

I could only mutter that word as he turned his cloudy white, lightless eyes toward me.\n<< Previous  Table of Content  Next>>\n\n\n\n
