3 Episode 2 I encountered a monster.

Everyone has their own way of playing the game, but in the case of RPGs, I'm a big believer in leveling up in the early stages.

In the first village, I'll earn a lot of experience, and when I've reached a level well above my optimal level, I'll finally set out on my journey.

Naturally, I can kill zakos in an instant, and when I can defeat a boss with a single normal attack, I'm like, "Yes! And I'm tempted to be gutted.

I mean, what's the point?

[Creation], [Creation], [Creation]--!

So I was summoned to another world, but I still haven't moved much from the first point.

Using the Hibino tree growing around me as a material, I have been working hard to raise the rank of 【Creation】.

Perhaps it was worth it, but he was already at rank 5.

''Is it impossible for me to improve my rank any further?''

I mutter to myself as I look at the surroundings that have completely improved my view.

Thanks to the various experiments, I was able to understand the [Creation] rank-up to a certain extent.

In brief, it's as follows.

1. Only when you perform 【Creation】 with a new recipe, you will receive experience value.

You will only gain experience when you create a new recipe, and when you reach a certain level of experience, you will be upgraded.

3 ΛΛC4 does not gain experience no matter how many times you repeat an existing recipe.

There are currently six recipes that use the Hibiki Tree.

In addition to the Hikino Hat and the Hikino Wood Spear, there are also a wooden sword, an axe, a tableware set, a table and a chair.

Each of them is equipped with powerful effects such as "Enhanced Slash A" and "Enhanced Stun S+".

The "Stun S+" is a special effect of the chair.

Does this mean I should hit them with this?

Other worlds are scary.

...... Is it time to move on?

The sun was still high in the sky, but night would eventually come.

We didn't want to be camped out in the forest, and if we could, we wanted to reach the human settlement while the sun was still up.

'I don't even know if there are any humans in there to begin with, though.

If this were an internet novel, there would be an explanation from the gods before you are summoned to another world.

But my reality seems to be in hard mode, and I had zero prior information about the other world.

You should be prepared for the worst-case ...... possibility that I'm the only person in the world.

* * *.

I continue to walk through the forest.

I don't know the exact time because my smartphone disappeared somewhere during the otherworldly transition, but I've been walking for probably a couple of minutes.

Despite this, I didn't feel tired at all.

This is the power of the forest's negative ions: ......!

As a joke, I'm sure it's because of my skills.

''The [Otherworldly]: rank 99 (maximum).

Corrections are applied to physical ability, mental ability, intuition, skill acquisition, leveling up, and rank increase.

The rank is determined by the difficulty of your home world, and the higher the number, the greater the correction.

My [Otherworlder] has a maximum of rank 99.

If the rank is determined by the difficulty of the world from which you are from, is ...... Earth perhaps a world with max difficulty?

It's too shocking to be true, but we can at least guess why.

For example, let's assume that a world with magic is the norm.

If you take this stance, then Earth, a world where magic doesn't exist, should be the highest level of difficulty.

Well, theoretically speaking, I have a lot of positive compensation.

Thank goodness for that.

Hmm?

I suddenly stopped.

I thought I heard someone's voice.

I listened carefully and focused my consciousness.

--Whoaaaaaaaaa!

This time I heard it more clearly.

A man's scream.

I'm not sure what's going on, but for now, all I know for sure is that there is a human in there.

Let's go.

I have a feeling it's dangerous, but it's better than wandering around the forest without an adequate supply of food.

Just to be sure, I took out Hikino's wooden spear from the item box.

This is because it has the added effects of "Throwing Critical A+" and "Hit Correct S+," which allows you to attack from a distance.

You will be able to get the spear at the ready and advance towards the direction of the voice.　

Eventually the forest was cut off, and the field of view opened up with a puff.

It's a grassland-like place.

There is a large road running on both sides, and a wagon was parked at a little distance from here.

Close to the wagon, there was a monster.

It was a huge bear, covered from the neck down with an armor-like object.

When I activated [Appraisal], its features flowed into my head.

''Armored Bear.　

A bear-shaped demon clad in crystallized magic. Its body calls for a fight.

It boasts a high level of defense, but its head is not protected.

It is an excellent material for making weapons and armor, and its meat is delicious.

Its body demands a fight.

You're a rowdy bear, dude.

The ground is littered with swords and shields, and if you look into the distance, you can see the young men running away in a panic.

As you might expect, the young men were escorting a wagon, but they were probably afraid of the bear and ran away.

--Ku, don't come!　Don't come to me!

There was only one small, overweight man left beside the wagon.

He was dressed like a merchant.

Could it be the owner of the wagon?　

He had a sword, but his stance was awkward and he was clearly a non-combatant.

The bear has not noticed us.

If we are going to run away, it's probably now or never.

Realistically speaking, that should be a wise decision.

'No, I can go. I feel like .......

Is it thanks to the fact that your intuition is compensated by your [Otherworldly] skills?

I was sure of it.

I knew we could beat this guy.
