Bam! Wandering around while appraising, the only edible thing I find are mushrooms, and also some herbs, and then gob, gob, gob. Well, gobs are not edible.
Rare rabbits are a treat, but I have no ranged weapon and no magic. Erasing my presence and activating stealth I quietly approach and swoop down on them.
All hail Erase Presence and Stealth. They are super usable, a lot more so than the stuff from the white room. With all skills Iâve got from the God upon transference to another world being more useless than Erase Presence or Stealth, wouldnât it have been fine even without going to the white room? What was even the point of the God showing up? The next time we meet Iâm going to make him sit in seiza[1. TL Note: Japanese term for the standard formal traditional way of sitting in Japan. To sit seiza-style, one must first be kneeling on the floor, folding oneâs legs underneath oneâs thighs, while resting the buttocks on the heels. ] and will question him for about an hour.
ăMushroom, mushroom, ah, a gob.ăăBam.ă
Somehow, Iâve gotten used to goblins before I even noticed. What do I do if I get affection towards them? Beating to death it is.
They are dull, with Erase Presence and Stealth Iâm almost completely unnoticeable to them.
And with a swift attack they canât respond immediately.
And they always raise a club overhead.
In short, an ambush, and with momentum from that, bludgeon them to death. And a repetition of that.
Stopping to have an exchange of blows with them is dangerous. Their strength and defense are high, but they have no speed and even less intelligence.
Repetition of assaults, repetition of mushroom gathering, at times herbs, rarely rabbits. While making sure to avoid the wannabe delinquents.
There arenât many goblins near the cave, but their level is around 10-15, and when it comes to level 15, unless I attack them with my all they wonât go down in one hit.
As for the forest, though there are many of them, they are only about lv 10, weaklings. A bonus to mushrooms, though I wonât eat them.
At times, I hear cries of birds above my head, Roasted bird, come on.
Having no ranged attacks I looked up hungrily, and as it turned out, fruits on the trees were also edible.
Those contact lenses are a win. Not only do they improve eyesight, with them I can see in the dark, in the distance, and even very small objects. Having good eyes is important.
If those were sold in my original I wouldâve used them as well. I wonder if they can fix my glare?
I promptly climbed up the tree and picked fruit from the tree and put it in my mouth, then, sweetness, slightly sour, but itâs the first sweet thing in a long while.
Itâs not like I was particularly fond of sweet stuff, but being able to taste it in a world where I couldnât get any of that, it feels strangely delicious.
I pick all the fruits I can, each of them is small, so the total volume isnât that big, not enough to fill the stomach.
After that, mushrooms, gobs, mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms, gobs, gobs, mushrooms, mushrooms, gobsâŠâŠJust leave me alone already! Some children are crying already, itâs just me though.

Lvl doesnât raise, though I went on goblins pretty hard.
There is a massive quantity of clubs stored in the item bag. I wonder if I can sell them in a town or something. Though I donât want to go to the town that might need such a large volume of clubs.
Ah, this is bad, I canât concentrate anymore. In such a state Iâm bound to make a blunder eventually, and taking a hit to the head with a club would be the end of me.
Lately I became a bit accustomed to using Movement, but being unable to concentrate I surely will trip, fall down, and get hit with a club. Iâll die.
ăLetâs go back.ă
Taking a roundabout path I go back, mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms, gobs, mushrooms, fine, Iâll master mushroom cuisine! Though I donât have anything aside from salt.

Getting back home I feel at peace, is it the effect of Hikikomori? Is it going to gradually become harder and harder for me to leave outside? I guess it would depend on the delivery service, staying completely without books I would be too bored.
Most light novels have a staple that itâs better to completely use up magic. It also would work as a magic practice.
Focusing my magic power I raise the temperature of mushrooms.
ăI have a lot of dried mushrooms now, letâs try to also use earth magic next and go for a hot stone roast.ă
Making improvements to my dwelling I use up my magic and go to sleep.
Perhaps because I was going to sleep after running out of magic, but after coming to this world I find it easy to fall asleep.
In the bed, I think to myself about the reason I was called to this world.
I was summoned to the forest that has nothing but mushrooms and gobs.
Was I called from another world to protect this one from mushrooms and gobs?
Could it be that my life in another world would end at mushrooms and gobs?
Aah, I think Iâm going to see mushrooms and gobs even in my dreams, letâs sleep already.
Isnât forest a treasure-trove of foodstuff? Why are all of the treasures limited to mushrooms? Is there something wrong with vegetation? Is it that kind of a forest?
Where do I have to go to find other food? Or rather, what kind of food can I even find in a forest?
Trees had fruits on them, but what about the ground? Underground? There might be potatoes, but I wonât find any unless I keep digging all over the place.
Maybe I should move my dwelling, but by now I grew attached to it.
But staying here means mushrooms all the time.
This is a difficult question, I already have enough mushrooms to live for a while without picking any more.
And even if I go to pick something, the only thing Iâll find would be more mushrooms.
Iâm diving headlong into being a hikikomori. Soon my NEETification will begin as well. And Iâve always been a loner.
