With sounds of chipping birds and rustling leaves, Ryu wakes up. He finds himself in the middles of grassy patch surrounded by woods.
<Huh?! … So I have come to the other world?>
Ryu stands and looks around. The Sun high up as if high noon. Silhouettes of mountains ranges are to his right. They seem quite far away with its foggy appearance. Some of them peak over the could. To his back are woodland hills. His was in a meadow that was almost perfect a circle with a diameter of hundreds of meters. The surround trees, them seem as though they are magnified as they could easily reach or ever surpass a hundred meters.
<This is so surreal, but so fantasy like too. Did I shrink by chance?>
Taking a deep breath, Ryu sits down again.
<Now, what did that coon say at the end again?>
[Now be off with you. I can return back to being uninterested. You are too much work. Oh! Before you go, know that in the other world I will not be in charge. The one in charge likes to interfere with stuff more than me and has tonnes of other worlders as well. These are my parting words for you. Do enjoy the chaos over there!]
Ryu recalls the exact words.
< You shameless Ossan, I will make you pay for this! A God? Hell with that! Too irresponsible. And what is this about multiple gods? And the one this time wants to interfere with lives even more? That hypocritical sadistic. I just wait, I will show you that I will make this a success and find a way back to you!>
Ryu monologues his complains as he makes this resolve to prove the old coon wrong.
Taking a deep breath. Ryu does a check of his equipment. Taking a few minutes, he confirms that he has everything he asked for:
<ul>
<li>The Gakuran, jet black with gold buttons and linings.</li>
<li>His School shoes with spikes. He tests them by walking a little and slight hops.</li>
<li>His wrist watch, which is all white and stylish. It has a sort of metallic mesh band and head. The clock is like back on earth.
</li></ul>
<I guess this means this world also has 24 hours in a day?>
Next he unsheathes his sword. The blade is complete jet black. It has a luster that bounces off light giving it an ethereal feel. It also seems to have a carving of a dragon on it. The carving is replicated on both sides of the blade. Then, the handle on the sword and is made of the same material as his watch. But the grip seems subtly soft making it easier and more stable to hold.
<The coon sad something about checking status after coming to this world. How do I do that?>
After checking his equipment’s, Ryu slight ponders.
[Master: Shall I display the status screen? YES or NO]
<Huh?! What was that>
Ryu becomes startled as he hears a gender-less robotic voice. His eyes dart around to quickly search his surroundings, but finds no one within the field.
<What was that? The voice came from nowhere>
[Master: This is the AI. One of masters powers, the ?Great Sage? that is to assist master in his tasks. Only master can hear me as I am in your spirit. You can converse with me with thought]
The voice explains as it resounds in Ryu head.
Ryu still startled, can digest this information.
<You startled me. So you are the AI. What are you called? How come you have not responded to my thought till now?>
[Master: This one currently has no set name. You can give me a name or call me AI. Till now I have been booting up and adjusting to master’s statuses and powers. I have also been copying and cataloguing the information from Guide. This will keep the information even after expiry for reference and will build on AI’s future assistance to master]
<I see. That will help. Then, returning to the first, display status of the sword for me>
At Ryu’s instructions, the status of the sword is reveal.
Name: Ryuzen

<ul>
<li>Blackening – A shroud of darkness covers the blade increasing slash power, sharpness and durability. Consumes magic depending on target.

</li></ul>

<ul>
<li>Durability 1000 pts</li>
<li>Sharpness 400 pts</li>
<li>Skill 400 pts
</li></ul>
Auto-Repair function (Passive).
Needs swordsmanship skills to use.
<The sword isn’t overpowered. Rather, isn’t this too weak?>
[Master: The sword is a typical HERO class grade 1 sword. This is according information on the guide]
<I see. But there is a big issue. Needs swordsmanship skill, hah>
Ryu was crest fallen at this discovery. This has made his sword useless for now and in turn makes him unarmed and defenceless.
<No wonder that old coon seems more than happy>
Ryu grumbles as he recalls the being called God from his last meeting.
<AI, give me a basic run down of the current situation>
[Mater: Understood]
AI explains his current situation very briefly. The main points are:
<ul>
<li>Location – Introduction page mentioned that Ryu is sent to the 3rd Open field of ?Moore’s Forest. This is outside the Dungeon forest of Glaze That is to the North past the Hills. He is also situated near Elvish territory of Ishbaala Forest Kingdom. This is neutral territory. Ryu is far from human civilization which are further south and outside the forest. This is the distance of several thousand kilometers.
</li>
<li>Remaining equipment – they are all durable and have divine defence with no pre-requisite requirements. The Gakuran has a special ability of indestructibility, all magic resistance, spell resistant and had domain evoke ability. This casts a darkness barrier around Ryu for up to 3 meters. This powers evolves with his level. Leaving the Gakuran, his shoes do not have any special powers. This is however enchanted to make his feet light and allows him to always land on his feet when falling, adding a inertia cushioning magic effect.
</li></ul>
Next his powers:
<ol type="$type"></li>
<li>Disassemble (Passive) – power to break apart any loot or kill for increased gains. This gives him the ability to get better loot from kills. Not limiting to meat rations, it also includes blood essence, magic and knowledge. The limitation is that he must have killed the prey himself. The ability is passive.
</li>
<li>Greater Innate Magic – basic level of magic will be higher than normal. Specialization to develop later. The possible branches of evolution are:
Basic: Fire / Water / Earth / Wind
Special: Light / Darkness / Space / Nature
Compound: Time / Void / Healing / Summoning / Enchantment
Unique Magic (not fitting any of the above)
</li>
<li>Comprehension (Passive) – Ability to learn, decipher, understand and react will be faster. This skill has become consumed by AI and integrated into it. Therefore, became redundant. This improves AI capability in responses and calculation.
</li></ol>
Information on AI – it currently has all recorded basic information of this world, including its common sense, language and regional map. Regional map indicates the area of ?Moore’s Forest. Areas outside ?Moore’s Forest are not included. As for language, it currently only includes human and elvish. Other languages can be comprehended as and when encountered and by experience. AI also passive installs language into me so that can retort back in spoken language after it is deciphered and learnt. As for common sense, basics of world affairs and current leadership, policies and situations were described in the guide very roughly. Only the situations of Ishbaala Kingdom and the Human Kingdom of Rhine are provided.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
Taking time to comprehend this Ryu settles down. It has roughly been 2 hours since he arrived into the new world. Ryu, by nature is quite calm even when he is internally in chaos. He slowly tries to recall important steps and considerations. Only slightly forgets matters when he becomes excited.
<With AI’s summary, I first need to explore what is immediately around me, get some strength and get used to by abilities. Ah! I need to check the unique abilities as well. AI scan my unique abilities>

<So… I am a level 01 beginner. My stats… they aren’t so bad considering myself and my situation. I wonder how I compare to this worlds standards?>

<Oh! Hat is great to hear. Now then I guess I need to consider my next source of action>
After learning his status and powers, Ryu recovers his mood. It has now been 5 hours since he arrived in this world and is now 2.30 in the afternoon. Recovering himself, Ryu now thinks on him future plans and the start of his adventures.
