You probably won't believe what I'm about to say...
But I'll say it anyway.
I've been sent to another world.
It all started like this...
(Flashback)
That morning, I was on my way to school, carrying an umbrella because of the rain.
While waiting at the crosswalk, I saw a high school girl crossing the street—even though the light was still red.
Right then, a speeding car came out of nowhere, heading straight for her.
BAM!
There was a loud crash, and when I opened my eyes...
(End flashback)
---
"How are you feeling, Yukito-kun?" (God)
"How am I feeling!? YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY!?" (Me)
Even though he said he was a god... to be honest, he just looked like some crusty old man who smelled like death.
"Don't say such mean things, Yukito-kun~" (God)
"So? What now, you old geezer?" (Me)
"Ahem, since I accidentally got you killed, I'll send you to a world called Velmoria as compensation." (God)
Oh, right. I forgot to mention... technically, I wasn't even meant to be summoned to another world.
Someone else had been chosen to go.
I just happened to be standing too close to the summoning area.
So yeah. I died saving that girl.
Bummer.
But whatever—what's done is done.
I mean... this is an isekai, right? Time for a harem! Mwehehe...
"Oi, Yukito! Are you even listening!?" (God)
I turned my face away from him.
"What's with that attitude, huh!?" (God)
"SHUT UP, old man!! It's YOUR fault I got thrown here, isn't it!?" (Me)
"How the hell was I supposed to know you were standing there, dumbass!?" (God)
"Tch... fine. So all I have to do is go to Velmoria, right?" (Me)
Before I could finish, he handed me something glowing—some kind of orb.
"Ahem, here. A little 'cheat' to help you out, Yukito~" (God)
Without thinking, I grabbed the orb.
"See you later, Yukito~ Bye-bye~" (God)
He slowly faded out of view.
And before I knew it, I was standing in some huge hall, surrounded by people... all bowing deeply in my direction.
"W-What the heck is going on!?" (Me)
I started tapping each of their backs, but none of them responded.
"Oi... Oi... What's wrong with you guys?" (Me)
Suddenly, a man wearing golden robes and a crown walked toward me, flanked by armored guards.
He stood before me—and bowed deeply.
"Yuusha-sama, welcome to Necvalion..." (??)
I stared at him in total confusion.
(For context, Yuusha-sama means something like 'Hero-sama'.)
Wait... didn't that old man say I wasn't the chosen one!?
Did he lie to me or something!? If I ever see him again, I swear—
"A-Ah, my apologies, Yuusha-sama..." (??)
(He apologized because I looked confused.)
He stood up again, and so did the others behind him.
"I am Darius Necvalion III, King of the Necvalion Kingdom—one of the greatest realms in Velmoria.
We are honored to welcome you, Yuusha-sama." (King)
"Okay, but why did you summon me here?" (Me)
Now, you might be wondering,
"Why aren't you mad?"
Well... I've always wanted a harem in another world.
This might actually be awesome. Mweheheh...
"The Necvalion Kingdom is currently at war with the Demon Empire.
That's why we desperately need the power of Yuusha-sama." (King)
"O-Okay... I'll help however I can—" (Me)
"Th-thank you so much, Yuusha-sama.
Please, would you place your hand on this crystal?" (King)
A maid approached with a glowing crystal orb in her hands.
I figured it was some kind of skill-checking device.
Without hesitation, I placed my right hand on it...
Their expressions changed immediately.
Everyone fell silent, frozen in place, staring in disbelief.
I puffed up my chest with confidence.
"What's wrong? Is my status too high for you guys to handle?" (Me)
I looked at my own status screen.
Stamina: 1
Power: 1
Speed: 1
Magic: 1
And the rest were all 1s too.
At the very bottom... there was only one skill:
Creation
"What is this madness!?" (King)
"His stats... they're worse than a common villager's!!" (King)
The entire hall exploded into chaos.
"E-Everyone calm down! Maybe there's a mistake—" (Me)
Yeah, I was panicking too.
What if...
WHAT IF MY ISEKAI DREAM IS ALREADY RUINED!?
SHWOOOOSH
A blinding light appeared at the summoning spot.
Another boy, about my age, stepped out—
And his status screen appeared instantly.
(Why does his show up right away!?)
Stamina: 999
Power: 999
Magic: 999
Everything was 999!?
His skills: Swordmaster, Flash Step...
He had every single elemental magic...
This guy was BUILT DIFFERENT.
The king and his entourage immediately rushed to him, showering him in praise—
Just like they did to me at the start.
"W-Welcome, Yuusha-sama!!" (King)
The guy smiled smugly at the king.
Then he looked at me.
And grinned.
That smug grin said it all:
"Check me out, loser~"
DAMN IT—I'M JEALOUS!!
