Web Novel Part 1

**Web Novel Part 1** begins with Haruka in his classroom in the original world, and ends with the end of Day 1 on the Other World.

## Plot

Location - Classroom
During lunch break, Haruka was reading while being distracted by all the noise around him.

A magic circle appeared out of nowhere on the class room floor. Haruka figured the magic circle was for transporting people to another world, like in all the light novels and anime and manga stories, and did not want to be caught in the mess.

Haruka tried to escape the classroom, but neither the door nor the window could be opened or be broken. He climbed up the storage locker, opened the maintenance hatch to access the ceiling, climbed in and crawled away from the classroom.

Haruka's attempt to escape proved futile as he found himself in a White Room all by himself. He thought it would be so cliché if he ended up in a fantasy world of swords and magic, and thought about other possibilities. To pass time, he started reading, and was on his fourth book when he hoped he had his school bag with him, he was running low on books to read. Then he saw an old gramps, a mind-reading self-proclaimed god, wondering around. The self-proclaimed god complained of Haruka being a straggler, and they got into a verbal argument.

After a bunch of explainations about some Kingdom, language, monster etc etc that Haruka didn't pay much attention too, "god" told Haruka to pick the skills/bonuses to help him in the other world... first come first serve. Everything that's left either seem just slightly useful, or looked like outright handicap. As Haruka ruthlessly complained about the crappy options he had to choose from, "god" snapped and gave Haruka all of the leftovers and dumped Haruka into the middle of a forst in the Other World.

With two stat dice rolls from the White Room bonus, Haruka's Luck stat broke through the max limit. He then noticed two additional skills on his status that weren't from White Room: Loner and Servitude -- he wouldn't be able to join any parties, but he could collect monsters to do his bidding.

Generic Villager A Set included a basic set of equipment, but more importantly, a Bag of Holding that has an incredible capacity.

Putting on Contact Lenses? from the White Room gained him the Appraisal skill. Together with Bag of Holding, and auto-language translation (which "god" said everyone who was summoned automatically receives), Haruka started out with the three things he wanted the most for living in another world.

With Appraisal, Haruka found lots of edible mushrooms, some increase the eater's potential power, others recover HP or MP. He wasn't able to catch any fish by the river.

Haruka came up on a large uninhabited cave, and laid out the Magic Tent and Magic Lantern from Villager A's set, which had the effects of warding off monsters.

Going through the bag some more, he found a ring, which he worried might be Villager A's wedding ring, but upon Appraisal turned out to be Ring of the Destitute, which sounded scary but has a Life-Saving effect that uses MP to recover HP before dying.

Using Temperature Magic, he made some dried leaves catch on fire, and eventually caused some firewood to start burning too, resulting in him gaining Fire Magic. He found out he had also gained Clairvoyance, Presence Detection, and Enemy Tracking.

* The light novel cut the bit about reading books to kill time.
* In the original Web Novel, the 43 students summoned included students from other homeroom who came over. In the light novel, the narrative was simplified so all 43 students were from Haruka's homeroom.
