01x01 - Loner With the Worst Skills

[bunniefuu]

Talk about close!

Glad I dug that.

At this very moment,

I'm working my way through another world alone!

Loner With the Worst Skills

Let's take things back to the day I got transported.

I was spending lunch reading like always.

All alone, as you can see.

As anyone can see.

Yup. I lived a loner life in the real world, too.

Quit rubbing it in! You're not wrong, but still!

So why was I alone? That's easy.

Because I wanted nothing to do with my classmates.

They'd get in the way of my books.

If I had to divide up the class, it'd be

the delinquents.

The valley gal sort.

The jocks.

The nerds.

The class reps.

Then there's just the rest.

And me, not part of any group.

That's when it happened.

Holy crap!

Wha-?!

What is that?!

A magic circle?! Just like the one

in the light novel I was reading?!

I got excited for a quick second,

before realizing an isekai would be a pain in the a*s.

I'll stick to the sort in my books.

Dunno who's doing this, but no thanks!

It was like my body had a mind of its own,

trying desperately to leave the classroom.

And it REALLY tried.

Yeah, I figured. That's how these things go.

No way!

My body's disappearing!

No freakin' way!

Whadda we do?

What's goin' on?!

Gimme a freaking break!

Are we?

Only one way out!

My last hope was up into the ceiling.

Phew, doubt it'll reach me up here

Noooo!

Ugh, I'm in for it now.

The ol' nothing-but-white room.

So uhh, why is no one else here?

Isn't there usually some fatso king or a beautiful princess

no geek would ever meet in real life?

Hmm? That old guy's all alone like me.

The old dude was in a panic.

Why are you here?!

Everyone's gone!

Turns out he's some god in this place.

Hurry and get ready!

Apparently, the rest of the class

was out in the new world already.

I was the only one left.

Guess even the omniscient

overlooked my little escape route!

He urged me to hurry.

It's first-come first-served!

And so I had to set my isekai stats and such.

Got to set your stats!

WEAPON ARTS

IAIDO SWORDSMANSHIP

DUAL BLADES

GREATSWORDS

SHIELDS

COMET STRIKE

DAGGERS

Normally, each person gets 50 points to use

on skills and magic and such.

WEAPON ARTS

IAIDO SWORDSMANSHIP

DUAL BLADES

GREATSWORDS

SHIELDS

COMET STRIKE

DAGGERS

But this was the old man's first time

roping in 43 people at once.

SHIELD APTITUDE

COMBAT APTITUDE

BOW APTITUDE

MAGIC APTITUDE

DUMMY

COMPANY COMMUNICATOR

MASTER OF NONE

Apparently, the OP skills were first-come first-served,

and the rest were all crap.

Still, I figured I'd better take a good look.

POIN

ALLOCATION

FOR STATS

YOU MAY ALLOCATE 1 POINT TO EACH STA

OR ROLL DICE (10P FOR 2 DICE)

Definitely not going for dice.

Even if I got two sixes, that'd only put me at 12.

What kind of moron would go for that?

EQUIPMEN

ITEMS

PALADIN SET GREAT SAGE SE

VILLAGER A SE

ALCHEMIST SE

CONTACT LENSES

BLACK KNIGHT SE

RING BERSERKER SE

ANTIDOTE

All that's left is a "Villager A Set" and "Contact Lenses"?!

Who the heck is Villager A? Talk about lame!

I wanted to be a Paladin or a Great Sage or something!

MARTIAL ARTS

DAGGERS

COMET STRIKE

SHIELDS

DEADLY BLOWS

SPEARS

STAVES

TWO-HANDED SWORDS

ONE-HANDED SWORDS

ARCHERY

"Staves"? A staff is basically just a stick!

Do you just hit things with sticks?

How do you survive an isekai like that?

Gimme a sword or a spear or something!

SKILL

EXP BOOS

PILLAGE

HEIGHTENED INTUITION SWORDSMANSHIP

CLAIRVOYANCE

WELL-BEING WALKING

CALISTHENICS SENSITIVITY

SORCERY

How are "Well-being" and "Walking" even skills?

Is there nothing else?!

I wanted something OP like Pillaging or Clairvoyance!

MAGIC

GRAND MAGIC FLAME LIGHTNING FIRE

HEALING

ELEMENTAL ASSIGNMEN

ELEMENTAL BOOST DEATH CHARM

TEMPERATURE PACKING

WEIGHT MOVEMEN

DARK

Of course the go-to Grand Magic is gone.

No idea what the stuff left even does.

How can there even be crap magic?

SPECIAL

SHIELD APTITUDE

COMBAT APTITUDE

MAGIC APTITUDE

BOW APTITUDE

COMPANY COMMUNICATOR

MASTER OF NONE

DUMMY

What does "Company Communicator" even do?!

Am I supposed to be an office worker, here?

And how can "Dummy" be anything but bad?

TITLE

SAINT FIEND SLAYER

NEE

SHUT-IN

ILLUSIONIST TACTICIAN GUARDIAN

Now shut-ins and NEETs?

How are slackers gonna take down monsters?

HEALTH

WALKING

CALISTHENICS

SENSITIVITY

Wait. That's it?

There's crap, and then there's this.

WHAT'S THE DEAL, OLD MAN?!

Skills like these won't even get me through the first town!

You gotta have better skills to choose from!

Can you not even estimate

how many people you're summoning?

And you call yourself a god?

Are you outta your mind? Seriously, are you?!

By then, the old man was sick of my complaints.

"Fine, take all the skills left! Now begone!" he said.

TEMPERATURE PACKING

WEIGHT MOVEMEN

COMPANY COMMUNICATOR

DUMMY

WELL-BEING WALKING

CALISTHENICS SENSITIVITY

So I wound up with all the leftover crap,

and was basically guaranteed nightmare mode.

He seriously teleported me

How am I supposed to handle an isekai outta nowhere?

I wasn't ready for this

Then again, I guess no one ever is.

Huh?

I guess this must be

the Villager A Set.

Wait, can this thing hold infinite items?

Contacts Cloak Leather Boots

Wooden Stick

Wooden Stick

Ring of the Dead Soul

Ring of the Dead Soul

Jewel of Knowledge

Jewel of Knowledge

Villager A's Diary

Still looks like a bunch of leftover crap, but

Not half bad!

So! Now that I look good, how are my stats?

Lemme just open "Check Stats," and

Please roll the dice

What? Why dice?

YOU MAY ALLOCATE 1 POINT TO EACH STA

OR ROLL DICE (10P FOR 2 DICE)

That old fart really stuck me with EVERYTHING!

Was he cleaning out stock or something?

What the heck?! What does "M" mean?

Please tell me it's not M for minus!

Or maybe M for masochism?

Certainly not that

Nice retort!

Which stat do you wish to allocate to?

Uhh

Doesn't look like I'm gonna pull through

with any other strengths, so

Put it on Luck.

Points allocated.

Which stat do you wish

to allocate to next?

Forget worrying about balance! Time to go all in!

Points allocated to Luck.

Now calculating stats

SPECIES:

HUMAN

MARTIAL ARTS: CANE TECHNIQUE

MAGIC: TEMPERATURE MOVE WEIGHT PACKING

SKILLS: HEALTH SENSITIVITY CALISTHENICS WALKING

My Luck skill is off the charts. So M stood for Max?!

RACE

HUMAN

The rest is still all crap.

MARTIAL ARTS: CANE TECHNIQUE

MAGIC: TEMPERATURE MOVE WEIGHT PACKING

TITLE: SHUT-IN NEET LONER

EQUIPMENT: CLOTH BAG

Wait, there are two extra.

Subjugate Loner

SUBJUGATE OTHERS TO FOLLOW YOUR COMMAND MUST SURVIVE ALONE.

CANNOT FORM PARTY.

Additional Ability

IF YOU WAN

TO MAKE FRIENDS

Is that because I got pulled in alone?

Apparently, when you're a loner

you can use the subjugate skill.

Stuck alone in another world, huh?

There go my chances of an isekai harem.

Why's no one else around, though?

Everyone shoulda been sucked in here with me.

Ah, who cares? Can't form a party anyway!

Only thing I gotta worry about now

is setting up somewhere safe.

Then I just need to find some food.

Time to make myself a home!

Hard to see anything stuck in these woods, though.

If a monster rolled up on me now, I'd be done for.

Dunno if my well-honed fake sleeping ability

would do me any good.

Oh, yeah! I still haven't tried those contacts.

Whoa!

Nuts

These don't just let me see things!

Phsyical Strength Mushroom

Nuts

Medicinal Herbs

Nuts

Potenshroom

They let me see EVERYTHING!

Antidote

Potion

Clear as day!

How do these even work?

These contacts give me the Appraisal skill?

This brings a lot into focus!

CONTACTS

APPRAISAL: ABILITY TO JUDGE ALL VISIBLE THINGS

Potenshroom

Edible. Boosts potential capacities.

My Appraisal skill opened up a whole new world.

Potenshroom

And made things more fun!

Whoa!

Wow, look at these!

Potenshroom

EDIBLE. BOOSTS POTENTIAL CAPACITIES.

Edible mushrooms!

My bag could hold everything I found,

and I had potions packed in already.

I really should apologize

for talking down the Villager A Set.

I feel like I can find anything out here

Hmm?

Delish!

Huh?

A cave?

Anyone home?

Sorry for intruding if this is your home, monsters.

Really hope it's not, though!

Nice and spacious.

Magic Tent

CAN BE DEPLOYED OR PACKED UP USING MAGIC.

REMAINS ROOM TEMPERATURE.

WARDS OFF BUGS AND MONSTERS

Magic Lantern

CAN BE LIT, SET TO FLASH,

OR EXTINGUISHED USING MAGIC.

WARDS OFF BUGS AND MONSTERS.

Got a tent and a lamp in my bag, already.

Already feelin' like settling in.

Gathered up some wood and leaves.

Now to just use my Temperature magic and

That should keep the beasts away.

This leftover magic isn't so bad!

Lemme just check my stats before I pass out.

MAGIC

Temperature Movement Weight

Packing Fire Magic

Nice, my Temperature skill leveled up

and I got "Fire Magic".

MAGIC

Temperature Movement Weight

Packing Fire Magic

SKILLS

Well-Being Sensitivity Calisthenics

Walking Subjugation Appraisal

Clairvoyance Perception Enemy Detection

Got Clairvoyance, Perception,

and "Enemy Detection", too.

I did make sure there were no baddies around

But what if they show up?

All I can do is hit them with a stick

And just like that I finished my first day

as a loner in another world.

DAY 2

Whew, made it through the night no problem.

My items got a bonus monster repellent effect.

All thanks to that "Shut-in" title I got.

Nice going, shut-ins!

SHUT-IN:

SHUT SELF IN

PROTECTS LIVING SPACE.

My stomach's not fairing so well, though.

Time to light a fire with my new magic.

And mix the mushrooms I gathered

with the cured meat in my bag.

Add a little flavor, aaand

Breakfast is served!

Delish! Gotta hand it to myself!

Didn't expect to have a pan and a knife.

The Villager A Set is doing wonders.

Did this A guy really live in a village, though?

He's more like some wilderness survivor.

Forget that, though.

Gotta figure out where I go from here.

That cave should work as a home for now.

Next up is finding food and working on security.

Stamina Caps

Medicinal Herb

The real problem will be monsters

PERCEPTION

The time's come, huh?

Not one, but two goblins.

GOBLIN B

GOBLIN A

They should be pushover mobs,

but those are some high stats!

Can I win this?

I mean, out here I'm gonna have to fight eventually.

This could be my chance.

Not so sure about this stick, though

Maybe I can try using "Packing"

to pack it full of magical energy.

PACKING

To pack various things with magic.

It can have a wide range of effects.

Sweet. Worked better than I thought.

Forget OP skills, I can make myself OP!

Right, one more to go.

It's attacks are simple.

Easy enough to read!

I survived my first battle.

It wasn't perfect, but I did good.

Passed with flying colors.

Took more mental damage than physical out there

Club

A CLUB MADE OUT OF WOOD

I brought back one of the goblin clubs.

That it? This thing's short, heavy, and useless.

My stick's good enough for now.

All right, let's see, then

RACE

HUMAN

Nice! I leveled up!

Whoa! And my stats basically doubled!

My Staves skill went up!

Just from smashing things with my stick?

Got something called "Magic Wrap," too?

Maybe from packing magic into my stick?

Leveled up Calisthenics, too!

Must be cause I always do my morning stretches!

Err, as of today, at least

DAY 3

I am so done with mushrooms

I could really go for some meat, but

I bet the Class Rep wouldn't approve.

SAY NO

TO INDULGENCE!

'Kay! First things first, I gotta toughen myself up.

My new Magic Wrap ability

MAGIC WRAP LV 1:

can boost my physical abilities plus my physical and

magic defense, putting most other skill sets to shame!

Magic Wrap

Corner

The isekai housewives would line up

for a bargain like this!

Wait, my Appraisal skill leveled up, too

LEATHER GLOVES ?

CAPE ?

WOODEN STICK ?

So what's with all these question marks?

Seems worse to me.

Whatever. Forget about it!

Let's go out and have some fun! Yessiree!

Time to practice magic now, one-two-three!

All right! Nature's bounty is mine!

Ugh! No more mushrooms!

Where does all the meat grow, huh? Where?!

Wait, forget the mushrooms, it's magic time!

What am I even doing?

Magic Wrap.

Feels like that worked.

Light as a feather!

So fast it's like warping!

Whoa! And my attacks are faster than ever!

Now for some tougher goblins!

GOBLIN C

GOBLIN D

Piece of cake!

So long as there's only two, they don't stand a chance!

I'm already doing way better than yesterday!

Bet I could even handle three!

Maybe I'll let them off this time.

Gotta head home and practice my magic.

Fight

Items

Magic

Run

Haruka

Goblin A

Goblin B

From there on it was goblin hunting by day,

and magic research by night.

Or maybe more like DIY time? Just lots of trial and error.

Until day five.

When I beat a goblin in one hit!

Decorated my base a bit, too.

Feels like I've got the hang of this isekai thing.

Now to just keep it up.

YES! Meat at last!

Get back here!

A little meaty-treat, at last!

Gotcha!

PERCEPTION

That was no goblin

Are those?

Ugh

Of course it has to be the class delinquents

I don't want anything to do with them.

Wait.

There might be someone over there.

Clairvoyance!

Next it's the gal g*ng? You gotta be kidding!

And over there are the jocks?

Definitely don't wanna bump into them!

Even the nerds? I mean,

we used to talk sometimes, but

no thanks!

The class rep

This world is a vicious place.

I know it's better to have companions.

I've known the class rep

since our first day at elementary school, too.

Maybe I could just

But, no

All this freedom and isolation.

No one to tell me what to do!

Nothing can beat a life like this!

That's it! Of course it is!

I

I am

gonna master this world alone!
