In the real world, he is a single man named "Hitoshi Nozaki" and is 34 years old. One day, while commuting to work, he helped a student who was about to be run over by a car, and as a result, he himself was hit by a car and died. Immediately after that, he wakes up in the presence of God and is arbitrarily decided to reincarnate in another world. As for his reincarnation destination, he could only receive the bare minimum explanation because God was too lazy, and he was sent off without any cheats. In a different world, you wake up alone in the forest naked and prepare to live calmly and calmly, such as grasping the current situation, making a loincloth, securing a safe habitat, food, and water, and starting a fire. I will arrange it.

Most of his own survival knowledge comes from tips from his hunter acquaintances and from watching his favorite survival shows, and it's been pretty useful. Immediately after his reincarnation, he was level 1 and his only skill was karate. He has been practicing karate since he was 15 years old, but he also has experience in martial arts and is strong for an ordinary person. As he fights goblins and other monsters, his five senses become sharper and his physical abilities improve as his level rises. When he set out on a journey to leave the forest, he encountered Bell (Mariabell), a human being other than himself, for the first time in another world. He mistook him for a goblin and escaped, but in order to help Maribel, who was attacked by Hobgoblin, he confronted Hobgoblin, who was stronger than himself and suffered a serious injury. For this reason, he is called "*Goblin-san*" by Bell.

He was then taken into custody and treated in Bell's village. However, by defeating Hobgoblin, the son of Village Chief A Filippo will keep an eye on him and his life will be in danger. Maribel risked her life to escape into the forest, so he was able to save her life in the nick of time. I returned to the village to help Bell. There, he confronts a group led by Phillip and kills the village chief and Hegart. This fact led to Bell not being able to stay in her village either, and he left the village with Bell and traveled to RockCliff together. On her journey, he discovers that he has leveled up for committing murders, but he learns the fact that he doesn't gain experience points for killing her own race, and he realizes that he begins to worry about who he really is. In RockCliff, he chose to break up with Bell shortly after arriving at Clairenne's house.

His affection for Bell grows along the way, but he decides to be alone for her own safety. After that, he enrolled in the adventurer's guild and formed a party with Gons, Albrecht Kaufmann, and Kimon to make a living as an adventurer. However, even though he is a newcomer, he is rumored to be accumulating money by working with influential parties and acting together with the influential party. will be targeted. Acquire scouting skills such as presence detection and presence concealment as your level increases. Initially, he was bald, but his short hair, mustache, and beard became his normal style.

Yajin was sent to another world by a contract with the gods, but there were no cheats. With his memories intact, his body was prepared according to the world he was going to, and he was sent away. He was dropped into an Unknown forest with no human presence, but thanks to the Discovery Channel, he somehow managed to start living in wildlife while gaining his knowledge cheats... well, primitive culture level. In the forest where monsters appear.

 **[*SOUL CONTRACT*:]** | ≪Puppy≫

As he manages to live a harsh life with modern knowledge, he acquires skills, kills monsters/person, raises his level, and gradually becomes stronger from the possessive skill he gained. His level is lower than wildlings, but his hunting arrangements are smarter and more competent than wildlings. He respects wildlings who don't give up even when cornered and supports his heart with low self-esteem due to social oppression.

Yajin weapon is a knife. It is thick with a blade length of about 25 cm. The reach is short, but the sharpness and toughness are guaranteed. Even though it's only 25 centimeters, it's huge to change the distance. The sense of distance changes until you get used to it. Hold the knife upside down. Even in military martial arts, the knife is held in reverse, but it is usually a smaller knife.

* *Jo Sokuteiz* (じょうそくてい) - Since it attacks the base of the toes, not the surface, but a point, it is possible to attack with high destructive power, and it is used for stabbing foot attacks.
* *Jin chi ~yuu* (じんちゅう) - The groove between the lips and nose. Or the pot in the groove. Depending on the school, it is also called the biggest weak point, and some people instruct them to aim at the crowd when practicing seiken-tsuki.
* *Go no sen* (ごのせん) - A technique that forces the opponent to attack and counterattack by exploiting gaps in the attack.
* *Dakkingu* (ダッキング) - The name of a boxing defensive technique that bends the upper body to dodge attacks
* *Okori* (起こり) - Beginning of attack, preparatory actions, etc.
* *Kinteki* (金的) - A man's vital point in the groin. It refers to the testicles, not the penis.
* *San-sen* (三戦) - One of the stances of karate. There is also a model with the same name. It became famous because it was used by a karateka who appeared in Grappler 0 Fang.
* *Kiba tachi* (騎馬立ち) - One of the stances of karate. Spread your legs about twice the width of your shoulders, lower your hips and press down. It has a strong stance, so it is easy to receive impacts.
* *Rōkikku* (ローキック) - In karate, it is called lower roundhouse kick. A kick technique that aims at the opponent's thighs, knees, etc. with your own shin.
* *Haikikku* (ハイキック) - In karate, it is called Jodan roundhouse kick. A kick technique that aims at the opponent's head, jaw, neck, etc. with the sole, instep, shin, etc.
* *Zanshin* (残心) - Leave your heart in any situation of the opponent. Don't let your guard down and stab a solid stop. As the era became peaceful, the interpretation changed to not let your guard down even if you beat your opponent.
* *Terefonpanchi* (テレフォンパンチ) - A punch with a large preliminary action that is ridiculed if you call and tell the other party that you are going to punch him now.
* *Brazilian Kick* (ブラジリアンハイキック) - An irregular upper roundhouse kick that Brazilian karate players are good at. The trajectory draws a unique trajectory that suddenly changes from the lower level, middle level, to the upper level.
* *Suigetsu* (水月) - About the plexus. Because the sympathetic nerves are concentrated in the back of the plexus, strong pain runs when attacked. Depending on the timing, the movement of the diaphragm stops for a moment, causing difficulty in breathing.
* *Hitman Style* (ヒットマンスタイル) - Also known as Detroit style. A stance that the legendary world champion who remains in boxing history is good at. A unique style that holds the front hand in an L shape.
* *Kizami tsuki* (刻み突き) - A thrust with the hand in the same direction as the stepped foot is also called a forward thrust. It's a jab in boxing, but it's different from a jab because it hits the whole body. It doesn't fire as fast as the jab, but it's powerful. The wildling hits with a vertical fist as if pushing the whole weight and stabbing.
* *Tate ken* (縦拳) - Explanation of commentary. I'm reflecting, but I don't regret it, sharp. A fist with the thumb pointing up. If you raise your thumbs up and fold your thumbs up, you'll have a vertical fist. At the moment when the fist hits when the arm is stretched out, the little finger is tightly grasped and the wrist is dropped in the direction of the little finger. The index finger and middle finger aimed with the fist line up with the bones of the wrist and arm, and the impact is fixed. There is a risk of fractures due to the strong load applied to the fist, but its destructive power is outstanding.
* *Mikadzuki keri* (三日月蹴り) - A kick that is released on an intermediate trajectory between a front kick and a roundhouse kick. It is difficult because it is kicked with the sole of the upper foot instead of the shin. It is called crescent kick because the intermediate trajectory draws a crescent moon (there are various theories).
* *Ibuki* (息吹) - Karate's unique breathing method, with a characteristic breathing sound. Various things are said, such as adjusting the flow of energy. As a wildling's interpretation, it is a breathing method that takes in oxygen efficiently by regulating breath and relieving tension.
* *Hīruhōrudo* (ヒールホールド) - A type of ankle joint. A dangerous move that is easy to execute and prone to irreversible injuries as an athlete. Banned in various competitions and martial arts organizations, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
* *Hadaka shime* (裸締) - A technique in which the arm is wrapped around the opponent's neck and strangled. There are various variations, and it can be used properly, such as squeezing the trachea or squeezing the carotid artery. Basically, it strangles the carotid artery to stop the blood flow to the brain and deprive it of consciousness. Rather than tightening the carotid artery to directly block blood flow to the brain, it utilizes a biological reaction called the carotid sinus reflex. It would be too long to explain here, so please search for it if you are interested.
* *Arm Drag* (*Āmudoraggu,* アームドラッグ) - Techniques used in wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Grab the opponent's arm and go around behind. There are many ways to do this, but this time I pulled the front leg of the boss and kicked the back leg to make him lose his balance and use that opportunity to go behind him.
* *Segatana-uchi* (背刀打ち) - The inside of the hand sword, the part on the side of the index finger is called the back sword. Swinging the arm from the side and striking the opponent is katanauchi. A side attack that is rare in traditional karate. Unlike the hook, swing the entire arm around and weaken the forearm until impact. In movies, he defends against attacks from the side like hooks by holding down the opponent's biceps. Since the back sword strike is weak, even if the biceps is pressed, the forearm part can swing inward and hit the opponent. Since the back sword is fragile, aim at soft places such as the throat, eyes and the thin bones around them. There are many variations in distance and use, such as the back of the hand, arc fist, and punching with the fist raised (Russian hook style).
* *Koken* (弧拳) - When the fingertips of the hand are turned downward, the bones of the wrist pop out. The protruding part is called arc fist. Used for both attacking and receiving. It is used for a surprise attack, when the fist is close and the elbow is far away, or when the fist cannot be held due to injury.
* *Backhand Blow* (バックハンドブロー) - A technique that releases a back fist while rotating once. Take a step forward and shoot. With the pivot foot as the axis, the ball is hit while rotating the foot and body like a piece. And so on, there are various variations. The wildling rotates only the upper body while fixing the lower body, looks at the opponent, and then releases the back fist to release the stored energy. The back of the hand is fragile, so if you are not wearing gloves, use a hammer instead of a back fist. There is also a feint effect because the backspin kick and backward spinning kick can be released halfway with exactly the same motion. However, it has the disadvantage of slowing down the performance of the technique because the upper body rotation is performed first. That's a wild backhand blow! "It's sharp."
* ***One Inch Punch*** (ワンインチパンチ) - A punch made when the fist is no more than 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) from the opponent. The distance of 1 inch is an expression that it is close to the end. A super-close range where the fist is touching the opponent. The technique itself is surprisingly simple, and I think anyone who has experienced striking martial arts can easily reproduce it. It is exaggerated in many creations and is misunderstood as an unrealistic power.
	+ In terms of power, it only has about 5.6% of the power of a normal punch. Of course, the power goes up and down depending on the proficiency level. Even if it says 60%, 60% of the people who are training are strong. It can be said that it is a technique that can be a decisive blow in battle if it hits a vital point.
* *Roll* (ロール) - Also known as weaving in boxing. A defensive technique that lowers the head and moves sideways to draw a semicircle. In boxing, only the head is moved on the spot, but in mixed martial arts, the momentum of moving the head is often used to step past the opponent's side and take the side or back.
* *Backspin Kick* (バックスピンキック) - Kick with the back leg after making one turn. Unlike the backward spinning kick, it kicks straight out instead of from the side. An image that pierces the heel. With the heel, aim for Suigetsu, liver, and chin. If you do it while jumping, it becomes a rolling sobat in professional wrestling.
* *One Fist* (Ipponken, 一本拳) - A fist clenched with only one finger so as to sharpen the second joint. I mainly use my index and middle fingers. When using the middle finger, it is sometimes called *Nakadaka Ipponken*. There is also another name called Ryuzuken that tickles the middle two hearts. Power is concentrated at a point. Therefore, it is used when you want to hit a vital point with pinpoint accuracy. Due to the concentration of force on the point, the risk of breaking one's fingers is also high. Therefore, it is often used for soft and vital areas such as the philtrum and throat. The trick is to relax and punch straight with a vertical fist. You don't need to put in that much force because you're going to stab a sharp object at the vital point.
* *Maekeage* (前蹴上げ) - A kick that literally raises the leg straight forward. Swing straight up with the power of your thighs without using your knees. There is a high probability that karate will be incorporated into basic practice if it is a full-conversion karate. As you get used to kicking, your legs will gradually rise higher.
	+ Beginners are happy and motivated by it. It's also a sober motivation point. Since the motion and opening are huge, it is not used in actual battles. When you see a depiction of punching a man's chin with a front kicker in a manga or the like, it's really picturesque.

Yajin didn't need to use complicated techniques with knives or create special moves that my opponent couldn't defend against, it's an orthodox technique using a southpaw stance. In the world of Yajin transfer, all adventurers use long swords. Many adventurers use broadswords because they often fight in narrow places such as dungeons and forests. The broadsword might be the one I faced the most in interpersonal battles in this world, which is why the technique that Yajin invented is more effective to deal with opponents like adventurers or bandits/assassins.

The technique's purpose is to deflect an attack, cutting blood vessels, nerves, and tendons. thrust into a vital point. Just keep it simple and that's it. The handling of knives is dropped into martial arts and martial arts. The base is bare-handed martial arts. It's the birth of 『***Yanojin-style knife martial arts*** *(野人流小刀格闘術)*』.

* Stand in a southpaw and hold a knife in your right hand. And head, shoulders, elbows, fists, knees, legs, knives. Combines attacks from these parts. The more the opponent is wary of the knife, the more attacks will hit other parts. Pierce the gap where the attack hits and run the knife to the vital point. Vigilance with knives makes it easier to hit with bare hands. Since a bare-handed attack hits, the knife hits the opponent who has lost his balance.
