Then kablam! One minute he's sleeping off a coding marathon or whatever, the next he’s whisked away into some fantasy realm through Kitenovel.com’s latest WN adventure. *Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou* drops him – along with his entire class – straight into this epic quest world.
Now, here's where it gets weird and kinda sad. In this new place, everyone suddenly becomes a powerful hero bursting with divine abilities. It feels like they stepped out of their textbooks! But Hajime? His role is... well, let’s say Synergist sounds better than 'blacksmith', but his skill set is basically just one transmutation power, the kind you'd see in simple fantasy RPGs sometimes.
Suddenly, he's this anomaly among gods. The jokes fly faster than mana potions at a battlefield, and yeah, some of his classmates aren't shy about calling him out on it. They're all decked out with flashy powers while he’s just... stuck with one minor ability. It quickly sinks in that the fantasy dream most otaku have? This ain't it for Hajime.
He finds himself drowning in a sea of expectations and ridicule, wondering if his 'job' (his term) here is basically to be a footnote to everyone else's heroic deeds. The pressure’s on, especially when the stakes mean saving humanity from extinction. Can he even keep up with the plot twist demands? Or will his single transmutation power just end up being a punchline in this whole damn story?
