The Initial Skill Is Too Convenient and Life in the Otherworld Is Too Fun! - Chapter 2.1

“…Where am I?” As I opened my eyes and looked around, there were brick walls on either side. It seemed like I was lying sideways between two buildings. Wait, why am I sleeping outside? There was a mat beneath me, but the ground was so rough that it hurt. Although my head wasn’t entirely clear, I forced myself to sit up. “…Right, I remember now. I was reincarnated.”

I looked at my hands and body. For some reason, I had become the size of a young boy. “I just reincarnated a little while ago, so why am I already this big? Samady-san said I would be reborn as a baby… That’s right, let me check my stats.”

In my head, I chanted “Appraise” towards myself. Then, a holographic status screen, just like the one I saw in heaven, appeared in front of my eyes.

“Huh?” I was surprised by the odd things listed in my status. It was fine not to have a name since I had just been reincarnated, but for some reason, I had gained a bunch of powerful abilities.

“No, I shouldn’t be surprised. Let’s examine each one with the Appraising Eye.” I switched my thinking and used Appraising Eye on the special abilities that had increased. Each one was explained in detail just like the status screen.

【World Language】

A special ability possessed only by humans who were originally from another world, allowing them to understand and speak every language except those of animals and demons. There are rare cases where descendants of people who possess this ability inherit it as well.

【EXP Amplification: 10 x】

A skill made using a god’s soul. It increases the amount of experience points you receive. The maximum rate of amplification is 10 times.

【God’s Veil】

A skill made using a god’s soul. It prevents anyone except for those recognized by the owner from seeing the owner’s status.

“I see… Anyway, let’s continue investigating. Next, I will appraise the five titles.”

[The Reincarnated]

A title given to those who have been reincarnated from a different world to this world. Occasionally, they acquire the special ability “World Language”.

[The God’s Host]

A title given to those who have a god’s soul dwelling within them. Their abilities increase, and they may even be able to reach the level of a god if they so desire.

[The Blessed]

A title given to those who have received divine protection from a god. They will be watched over by all the gods and their “faith” will increase more easily.

[The Abandoned Child]

A title given to a child who has been abandoned by their family. Their luck value increases slightly. If they become someone’s adopted child, this title disappears.

[Nameless]

A title given to someone who has been banished from their home and had their name discarded. They can choose a new name for themselves, but they cannot take on a new surname. If they choose a new name, this title disappears.

After checking all the information, I pondered for a while. Thanks to the ‘Enhanced Memory Capacity’ skill, I memorized the effects, but there were many unfamiliar words, so it would take some time to fully understand. The “SP” status was also a mystery… For now, I set aside the parts I didn’t understand and thought about what to do next.

“Well, maybe I’ll try out some other skills. With Daily Life Magic, I can get the magic I need…” As an experiment, I activated the skill while thinking “I need to learn all the magic I can at this stage.” In the next moment, my body was enveloped in white light and returned to normal after a while.

“Did I learn them just now…?” I displayed my status again and checked the skills section.

“Wow, amazing!” I couldn’t help but exclaim aloud.

The skill section now had ten new types of attribute magic: fire, wind, water, earth, light, dark, lightning, ice, holy, and null[1] magic.

“The magic is divided by attribute. I’ve learned so many, but…, in the meantime, let’s experiment to see if magic can be activated.”

I tried to imagine a small fireball coming out of my fingertip and put my mind to it. Just as I thought, a fireball appeared from the tip of my finger and floated in the air.

“Amazing, I can really use magic… I don’t even need incantations. Alright, next let’s try using the convenient box.” Muttering to myself, I thought, “Useful box, come out,” in my head. Instantly, a screen appeared in front of me, similar to the inventory screen seen in the game. It seemed that I could use it without chanting. I quickly tried to put something in and noticed an item being displayed in the inventory. Underneath the envelope-like illustration, it stated, “To Shinomiya-sama.”

“Huh? What’s this? I want to take it out, but how do I do that…” I was a little troubled and tried to fix my mind on the image of making the envelope appear for the time being. Then, a hole like a rift in space appeared in front of me, which a real envelope later came out of it before falling to the ground. I quickly picked it up and checked the contents and found that it contained a letter. I opened the letter and found Samady-san’s name written on it.

“I wonder if there was something he forgot to tell me? Well, let’s read it for now…”

There were two letters in total. Though the characters were unfamiliar, I could read them fluently thanks to the ‘World Language’ skill. The first letter summarized the situation as follows:

‘It seemed that when Samady-san tried to reincarnate me into this world as a baby, an unexpected accident occurred. The reason for this was that the god who had been playing with my fate once again took advantage of Samady’s surveillance gap and interfered. As a result, the transfer of my memories from before reincarnation did not go well, and it took ten years for my memories to fully return. Apparently, the low status of my luck was also due to this interference. Furthermore, because of the low luck, my life seemed to have been quite miserable.

[1] The manga mentions this as void magic, but personally, I think the correct term is null magic, or in other words; a type of non-specific attribute magic.
