## Synopsis

After an entire class dies in a tragic bus accident, an evil god reincarnates them in a dangerous new world and arms them with powerful skills—but there's a catch: All of the skills come with an unexpected twist...and some of them are deadly!

"Hey! I'm an evil god, but I'm not actually evil!"

Those were the first words I heard in the afterlife.

My name's Naofumi Kamiya, and my entire class died in a tragic bus accident. The god told my classmates that he would transport all of us to a dangerous new world, but he created skills for us on request, so maybe he was actually a good god?

That's what I thought at first, anyway. But when it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! I feel bad for my classmates who thought that gimmicky skills would make them invincible. I mean, the god did warn them that there were no cheat skills! Oh well.

As for myself, I'm enjoying my life with my childhood friends, putting safety first and staying out of trouble. After all, this world might seem like a game, but it's not. It's reality.

## Afterword

> Thank you very much for deciding to purchase this volume of To Another World... with Land Mines! My name is Itsuki Mizuho, and it’s nice to meet you. As for the people who have been reading the web novel version, I’m grateful for your support, as always. It was thanks to all of you that this volume could be published. You probably know this if you’ve read the volume, but this story doesn’t have a heroic protagonist who faces difficult situations that he or she overcomes with no trouble, and there’s also no obvious altruistic heroine with a kind heart for everything either. At the same time, the circumstances that the characters are put in are a bit too severe to call this a slice of life story. The idea I had in mind when I wrote these characters was that I wanted them to be both realistic and relatable. Thus, as I was writing and posting chapters online, I assumed that this story wouldn’t be very popular with the general public, so I was quite surprised and pleased to find out that a lot more people read my writing than I’d expected.

> Also, I’ll provide some behind-the-scenes information here and say that I wrote the characters’ actions and skills with a rather customizable tabletop RPG format in mind. By that, I mean I wrote characters who have a lot of potential but start off rather weak. They can perform all sorts of feats depending on what ideas they come up with, but there are going to be things that they’ll fail at, and I balanced it so that the skills can’t be used in a way that’s overpowered and ruins the game, so to speak. Well, it’s closer to a more realistic world than a tabletop RPG world, since characters like Nao don’t know how much mana they spend per spell, and there’s also no dice system to indicate success or failure.

>  Last but not least, I would like to thank the editor, the proofreader, and the illustrator, Nekobyou Neko-san, along with all the other people who were all directly involved in creating this volume. Thank you all very much. It was thanks to all of your help that this volume could come into existence. Once again, I would also like to thank the readers who purchased this volume. Thank you all very much for taking the time to purchase and read this book. I hope we can meet again soon somewhere else. I’ll end on that note.
