My name is Sato Yu, 12 years old.
I know it’s sudden but right now I’m dying…
I can feel my consciousness fading away. The person I see in front of me is that man. It is the man that always threatens my father-in-law to pay his debt. He speaks to me nonchalantly.
“I’m sorry, I have no choice. I have to do this. Just consider it as paying your father’s debt.” – then he makes an ugly face while laughing.
The last thing that crosses my mind was about the people in the world. There are only two types of people. The first ones are those, who are always being deprived. The second ones are those, who deprive others. If only I had another chance… I’d take away all of the feelings of deprivation… While I was thinking about my deprivation for the last time, I succumbed into darkness.
. . . . . . . . .
I have woken up and found myself on the bed. I quickly checked myself. I’m pretty sure that I’m not in a hospital. I looked out from the plain window and all I could see were trees, a forest, to be exact.
“Oh, you have woken up!”
That words came from a kind-looking elder. She said that I was brought back here, because I fell from the sky in the woods. She thought that I was a fairy because of my black hair. So, why is it because of my black hair?
After talking for a bit with her I find it quite interesting. This place is not Japan. It’s not even Earth. This place is called Resser village of Furem continent. Even though I’m just an elementary student, at least I know the names of the Earth’s continents. I’m now on another planet.
The language they speak is not Japanese. Why am I able to understand what she said, I don’t quite get as well. When she said that there are no humans with black hair and eyes in this world, I’ve become pretty sure that this is no longer the same world, in which I used to live.
The most convincing reason? When I look at grandma Stella, a weird information window is being shown in front of me.

Unknown world? The Earth, from which I originate, is an unknown planet? It’s not like I am planning on finding a way back to my home planet, so that’s fine even if it’s unknown. With the basic game knowledge that I possessed, it was enough to understand my status. In this new world. I’ll be the one depriving.
Living in this world isn’t easy
From the time I arrived to this world, one month has passed. Grandma Stella has been kind to me. She teaches me the writing of this world, common sense, even about money.
Grandma Stella didn’t believe me, when I said that I come from a different world, but she teaches me anyways with a smile.
The money they use here are: moon coins, cooper moon coins, half silver moon coins, silver moon coins, gold moon coins, white gold moon coins.
100 moon coins: 1 cooper
1 half silver coin: 1000 moon coins (ten cooper)
1 silver: 10,000 moon coins ( ten half silver)
1 gold: 100,000 moon coins ( ten silver)
1 white gold: 1,000,000 moon coins (ten gold)
The concept of money, I already learned it, to learn this worlds characters however, one month isn’t enough, but I’ll get better eventually.
Anyways, living in this world isn’t easy.
There are monsters called demons. Fortunately, there’re no strong demons around here.
Besides that, people in this world are all registered with organizations called Guilds. Where the Guild card could be used as an identity card.
Adventurer’s Guild, Chamber of Commerce Guild, Blacksmith Guild, there’s a big variety of guilds, more than you could think of. Resser village is a small village. Because of that, every resident is registered under the Adventurer’s Guild.
Today, I was going to the Adventurer’s guild. There’s a quest of gathering herbs and I’ve completed it. I’ll go there and give the report to receive my reward.
Grandma’s house is a little bit secluded from the village. It takes around 20 minutes on foot. I arrived at the guild’s building that looks like a rundown tavern.
As soon as I came in, I already stumbled into trouble.
“Hey, what’s with this smell? Do you smell a black-haired Goblin?” – having said that, a man laughed. He is one of five adventurers that protect this village. Even though that guy is bald, he is strong. Unconsciously my eyes landed on his shiny head.
“What are you looking at?”
In the next moment I could feel that he punched me in the stomach. I flew backwards a couple of meters. He didn’t even hold back when bullying a twelve years old child. I want to take my revenge, but the gap in our power is too big.

——– Yeah, it would be unreasonable. Everyone is happy seeing me suffering. The fat uncle behind the counter even began drinking wine. I approached the fat uncle wanting it or not. The guild in this place doesn’t have any money to hire a receptionist.
“The quest to collect herbs is done.”
This quest is the easiest available and repeatable every few days. The reward is 900 moon coins or 9 cooper moon coins.
*cring*
The fat uncle passed me the reward but it’s only 3 cooper coins. It’s the same as usual.
“What? Do you have any complaints? You better be thankful that we even pay you out. Just where did Stella pick this kind of useless guy.”
The moment grandma Stella is mentioned, my blood boils. But I keep it cool and get out of the building. I’ll create more trouble for her if I cause a scene. I went out and put the money in my pocket.
This village is so small. There are no shops except for a simple tool shop. I have been trying to buy a knife, but I was kicked out and they said they will not sell anything to me. The reason is because of my Guild card. My eyes can see people statuses and they also work on other things. I concentrate on my Guild card.
[Guild card: fake]
I really want to kill that fat uncle at this point. If it’s like this, no shop will accept me, because my Guild card couldn’t prove my identity. I have no other choice except to go back. Grandma Stella was making dinner when I arrived.
“Yu, Welcome back. Dinner will be ready soon.”
Grandma Stella didn’t want to accept the reward of the quest when I tried to give it to her. She said it was money that I worked hard for and that I should buy things I want. Because of me, grandma Stella also receives bad treatment from the villagers. One day, I’ll return the favour.
First, my goal is to get stronger. It means increasing my level. Level is also important in games. To increase it you just have to defeat monsters and gain experience from them. However, the me right now couldn’t even hold a candle to a goblin.
The tool keeper doesn’t want to sell any weapon (knife) to me. Without it, I don’t have any chance to kill a monster. After eating the stew and bread, I slept while thinking of my future plans.
I do the herb collecting quest every now and then. Even though the Guild treats me badly, I will let it go.. For now!
I don’t have problems with gathering herbs, because grandma Stella always tells me about locations where they could be harvested. There’s no problem with over-harvesting them, because there are several spots. The only things that I have to be wary of are monsters.
There are goblins living in the forest. Goblins look like human children with green skin and ugly faces, their strength is also higher than that of humans. There is a request to subdue them, because sometimes they kidnap human women for the purpose of breeding. It soon became one of the most hated monsters.
When my herb gathering was almost finished, I heard some rustling sounds.
“Gugugu…”
“Brother, are you okay?”
“Ooeekk…”
“Gyahahaha…”
I tried searching for the source of that sound and I found some goblins and humans fighting.
I looked at the dying goblin, “Passive skill: Breeding LVL3”. It didn’t have any other skills, so it was a low-level goblin. Hage is the one that’s facing the goblins with his companion. I looked at Hage’s status and his MP was decreasing. He seemed to be using a skill which consumes MP. But, how? Hage, as a warrior, couldn’t use magic.
When his MP started to decrease, his abilities soared and he killed the rest of the goblins with ease. His movement speed improved. He finished them off and laughed. He cut their ears off as a proof of defeating them.
How? Grandma Stella said that people with non-magical professions couldn’t use their MP. There’s no buff whatsoever on his body, then why was his MP used? And during his last movements, his Mp quickly decreased by 5 at a time.
I was curious about it so I quickly gathered the remaining herbs and returned home.

———- During the past month, my stats have increased during herb collection. I reported the quest and hurried back home to experiment. I tried to do everything I could, but I weren’t able to find out anything…
One week has passed without any results.. I arrived at the Guild Hall and Hage with the gang was there. “Hahaha, killing goblins is too easy.”
“Yeah, with your abilities it get’s resolved quickly.”
“Of course, it’s a skill of mine after all.”
I was looking at Hage and the three men. I hope I could get a hint to his trick of raising his power suddenly.
I concentrated and his status appeared….
I looked at him longer than usual…
After I examined his status I noticed something strange. What’s this [+] symbol? I concentrated and it gave more details.
HP: You will die if this reaches 0.
MP: You will need this to cast magic. You could circulate the flow of Mana in your body to enhance it.
“Aaah! This is it… This is Hage’s secret.”
On the way home I have also looked at the other stats.
Strength: This is the power of your body.
Agility: The higher the value, the faster you move.
Vitality: This is your stamina, you can move or run for longer with higher value.
Intelligence: Wits and battle insight, quick thinking and advanced magic may be affected.
Magic: This is related to damage and power of your magic.
Luck: Misfortune may befall those who ignore this.
Passive Skill: Skill that doesn’t need activation.
Active Skill: It won’t be triggered unless you activate it.
Special Skill: Unique skill that can be gained from class or personal experiences and abilities.
It only describes each one roughly, but it is still better than not knowing anything. Because of that, I found out about the usage of Mana to strengthen the body too. I noticed that my Special Skill, Unknown World Magic Eye has leveled up to Lvl 2. Maybe it has ranked up. because I used it continuously. Because of that I have also discovered these additional stats explanations.
Finding out, how to circulate Mana inside the body to strengthen it, took me 2 weeks. It was amazing to feel my body being enhanced by the usage of Mana. The problem is that my MP is too low. Just using it for 5 minutes drains it completely. Maybe in the future I will be able to increase my Mana and efficiency of control over it.
