The Road to One Day Be the Strongest Vol 1 Chapter 1

A dream .

The crimson hell fire burned brightly through the city, a small boy left sobbing in the ruins of a collapsed building . The variant floated up towards the sky, it seemed as though all the negative energy in the world had arranged itself into a single large mass . Numerous eyes covered it’s body, countless pupils focusing on the boy below .

‘Drip’ A water droplet landed on my cheek . Something was different, even as the feeling tried to sleep under my awareness my attention seemed to bring it to the surface all at once . I wanted to sleep longer but Instead I let out a groan as I pulled myself into a sitting position and rubbed my tired eyes .

“Huh?”

I opened my eyes wide, this was impossible . There was no mistake, I’d woken up in a cave .

I should have been taking a nap at home and I think I would have noticed before now if I lived in a cave .  

“Seriously what the heck is going on?!”

I stood up, head in my hands, and took another look around . Yep . It’s a cave alright . Taking a look around the large open space, the floor and walls seemed to be covered in a glowing green moss . This was Japan right? Wait, could anywhere on Earth have such a fantastic site? A bad premonition began to flow through me .

“Wait, wait, wait . That’s impossible right? No, it’s all a lie . Right?”

As I said that both hands rose to hold my head, cold sweat running down the side of my face . I tried to ignore it as I began looking around trying to understand the situation .  

What was I doing before this? How did I get here? Thoughts spun around in my head .  

“More importantly, what is my name?”

I couldn’t remember .

Whelp,

It seems I’ve somehow calmed down quite suddenly but, in general other than things related to my name and how I got into my current predicament; most of my memories remain intact .  

A nineteen year old college student living in Japan . My hobbies include… . . well honestly I can’t remember . However, I’m sure I was an avid reader . I’d started reading a trendy new light novel recently . What was the name? Are or something . Other than that my parents have already passed away, I have no girlfriend, and even those that would call themselves my friends number few and far between .

But today, those few friends decided to come and hang out at my apartment . But unfortunately after cleaning up a bit I ended up falling asleep like some manga character .

“Seriously what happened?”

I don’t understand, Thankfully my imagination was there to fill in the gaps . The two prominent possibilities being either I was dreaming or, I’d been abducted . But if I was dreaming it was a very good one, as though it was making use of VR technology . But more likely I was abducted . Did someone have a grudge against me? I don’t think anyone seriously held a grudge against me .

“Then, like Are? A transition to another world, could that really happen?”

Okay, let’s try making use of information we already know . Recently, there has been an influx of new products centered around the topic of ‘Transitioning to different worlds’ . Not limited to just light novels, you can usually guess the main premise the main character takes a nap and voila .

No, I was being stupid, having such extreme outlandish thoughta made me want to laugh . But then again, I waved my hand through the air flirting with the possibility of being in another world . There was some word you were supposed to say to find out wasn’t there?

“Right~ right! If it is another world saying something like ‘status’ should display my name and the like right?”

Status is more or less a word describing something where you’re abilities are expressed in a numerical value . A smile played on my lips as I said the word, but when the word had taken form my body stiffened and my eyes went wide .

“Im . . impossible . There’s no way this can be true . This has to be a dream . ”

Because before my eyes, a status like window had appeared .
