 Summoned to Another World Hajime, who had been shielding his face with both hands and tightly closing his eyes, slowly opened them, feeling countless stirring presences. He then stared blankly at his surroundings. The first thing that caught his eye was a massive mural. About ten meters high and wide, the mural depicted a person with a neutral, slightly smiling face, long golden hair flowing, and a halo behind their head. In the background, grasslands, lakes, and mountains were painted, and the figure had their arms outstretched as if embracing them. It was a beautiful mural. A magnificent mural. Yet, for some reason, Hajime felt a faint chill and instinctively averted his gaze. Looking around more carefully, he realized they seemed to be in a vast hall. Was the material marble? It appeared to be a smooth, white stone structure with a beautiful luster, supported by enormous pillars adorned with equally beautiful carvings, and the ceiling was domed. It was a hall with a solemn atmo...

  Prologue In the darkness, a faint glimmer of light shrank rapidly in the distance. Reflexively, Hajime Nagumo reached out for it, though he knew it was already beyond his grasp. His body was gripped by an overwhelming sensation of falling, a primal fear tightening his core as he stared helplessly at the vanishing glow. Hajime was plummeting—deep into a vast chasm, seemingly without end. The light he had seen was that of the surface, now nothing more than a memory. It had all begun during a dungeon expedition. A misstep, or perhaps something more sinister, had caused him to fall into a massive fissure. Now, with no end in sight, the abyss swallowed him whole. Darkness consumed everything, broken only by the roar of rushing wind in his ears and the flood of memories flashing before his eyes—like a reel of his life unraveling in reverse. He was a Japanese high school student, living a life that was neither extraordinary nor particularly tragic—until he was summoned to this brutal, u...

  “Hey! I found some Naya grass over here!” “Really?!” That shout came from somewhere in the distance — a man’s voice. In a dimly lit forest, a blue-haired boy and a red-haired girl walking side by side looked at each other. The boy appeared to be around ten years old, with strikingly intelligent navy-blue eyes. The red-haired girl had a cute yet simple, down-to-earth appearance. But her most distinctive feature was the pair of triangular beast ears protruding from her head. They twitched occasionally, proving they weren’t just decorative. While the boy wore slightly fancy clothes, the girl was dressed in a cheap, rough brown garment made of woven hemp. A thin tail extended from her lower back, swaying happily side to side. “That’s great. Shall we go gather some herbs too?” “Y-Yes!” With that exchange, the two began hurrying through the forest, which was difficult to walk in. Their footsteps crunched over dry leaves and soil. The dense scent of green filled the air. Tall tree...

  Epilogue: The beginning of a new life "What?! You're saying... you're out of magic...?!" Huey was clearly becoming upset. To tell the truth, I had activated a detection spell as soon as the battle began to confirm Huey's decreasing magical power. The magical power displayed above his head was now 0. Of course. No matter how you look at it, a child's magical power would run out in no time if he kept firing it like that. Magical power increases according to level. No matter how noble Huey was from a prestigious family and had a talent for magic, there's only so much a six-year-old child can reach. I know that from personal experience. This was what I was aiming for from the beginning. "You can't use magic anymore?" "Damn it." "What? You said that people who can't use magic have no value. Maybe you just..." The color drained from Huey's face. He stared at me with wide eyes as if he had seen something terrifying. Jus...

 Chapter 31 - Eddie vs. the Bully "Everyone stay back. It's dangerous." I looked around and told him, and the other kids hurriedly retreated. A circle of students formed around Huey and me. "Don't underestimate me...!" It wasn't enough to just defeat this insolent boy. If that were the case, it would be much simpler. It would take a lot of brainpower to pretend to be Class F's power and deal with him. "Take this!" Huey cast a water spell. This was the third time. I didn't get in the way, and let him cast it as he wanted. The water spell that appeared in Huey's palm swelled up to the size of a ball. "Go for it!" Huey threw a blue, squishy light blue ball with force. It would hurt a lot if it hit him, and it would probably cause a jammed finger or bruise. As expected of Class A, they're amazing for a kid their age. Huey, in particular, comes from a distinguished family. Magical talent is greatly influenced by blood. Now....

Chapter 30 - Protecting classmates It's the second day of school. The orientation was all over on the first day, so today the magic classes start in earnest. I wonder what we'll learn in the first class. The first period today was a class on everyday life magic, so maybe we'll learn how to fly? Hmm, but if they messed up and fell, they could get seriously injured, so that kind of magic might have to wait. As I was thinking this, I headed towards the classroom, and there was some commotion in front of class F. What's it all about? There's a crowd of people. It looks like they're having some kind of argument. "Hey, class F can't even say hello! They're just like losers who can't use magic!" The ones making the noise were the students from class A who'd started a fight in front of the assembly hall yesterday. The blonde, who I think is the son of a distinguished aristocrat, was leaning back with his hands on his hips. The ones on either si...

 Chapter 29 - Celebrating Admission That night, when I got home, my family had thrown me a private party to celebrate my enrollment. The dinner laid out on the table was not only sumptuous, but also full of my favorite foods. I let out a cry of amazement when I saw the quantity of food, which was more than I could eat. I was, of course, happy that they had prepared my favorite foods for me. But more than anything, I was filled with gratitude to my family for preparing the celebration. "Thank you everyone. I'm so happy." "I'm glad Eddie liked it." "Come on, Eddie. Eat until you're full today!" "Haha, Dad, you know what? Eddie, here's the meat pie. Give me a plate so I can serve you." "Thanks. But I can do it myself." "Really? Logan still thinks of Eddie as a baby." "Come on. I'm sure you think the same of him!" "You brothers just can't help but love Eddie." "That's true. Eddi...
