Kazuhiko woke up, feeling dizzy.

"Uh..." He put a hand on his head as he frowned.

"This is not a side effect of too much masturbating, right?" He massaged the sides of his forehead.

Then, he felt something wrong.

Immediately taking off his hand from his forehead, he was greeted by a sight of an almost endless sea of tree trunks. Bushes here and there, big chunks of rocks, and some herbs growing beaide the roots of the trees.

Obviously, Kazuhiko is in a forest he doesn't know.

"What the hell?" Kazuhiko rubbed his eyes.

Opening them again, the scene of the forest still haven't changed.

'Am I kidnapped?' Kazuhiko turned his head to look around him.

The same. Trees, bushes, rocks, and herbs with some vines here and there too. Kazuhiko is sorrounded by nature.

He checked his body for any injuries and also checked if his little brother was still there. Gladly, he is uninjured and is still a male.

Kazuhiko sighed in relief.

He pushed his body off the ground and stood up from his sitting position. At first, he almost stumbled but managed to grab a nearby trunk to support himself.

'I feel drunk.' Kazuhiko thought.

He shook his head to clear his mind. After that, he looked around him, looking for anything suspiscious or whatever.

In the end, he didn't see anything.

Kazuhiko then began to ponder why he is here. Is he perhaps kidnapped by someone?

Just then, a screen, half-transparent and black, appeared in front of his face. In the screen, words in white color is present.

'Eh?' Kazuhiko was stunned in place.

'What's this?' He stared blankly at the screen.

Strangely, Kazuhiko is calm.

Kazuhiko then noticed that something is written on the screen.

[You have a message.]

Om the bottom of the text is a "READ" enclosed in a box. Subconciously, Kazuhiko tapped the box.

The screen disappeared, and another one, bigger than the first appeared.

On the screen is a text. Well, more like a message. Thus, Kazuhiko read it.

[Kazuhiko, you are transported to another world, if you don't notice it yet. This is a world named 'Axeor'. Here, magic exists. Kingdoms and Empires are established after countless wars.

The world is divided into tso continents: Reida and Xrom. Reida is the biggest continent. Humans, Elves, Dwarves, and Beastkin lives in this continent. You are also in this continent at the moment. Xrom is a smaller continent than Reida and is the place where Demons live. Living there is the feared Demon Lord. Although I won't ask you to defeat the Demon Lord, you are free to do so as you wish.

This world is also home to countless monsters. Various kinds, different strenght levels. Monsters are the common enemy of every intellectual races in this world. There are also the Divine Beings. They are monsters with power able to bring countries to destruction.

They are treated as legends and may not appear in the following million years or so. But they may appear. Be careful of them. Lastly, I would like to give you a gift. Try to say 'Status' in your mind.]

Kazuhiko finished reading the message. He don't know who sent it but he will be careful of whoever they are. They might be able to kill him like squishing an ant.

Interested for the gift, Kazuhiko did as the instruction on the last part said.

'Status'

A screen appeared and replaced the screen where the message is.

'A status screen. As expected.' Kazuhiko examined the screen.

'Where is the surprise the message is telling about?' He couldn't find anything that can be considered as a gift.

Maybe it was the Fire and Wind magic? Or the status screen that is considered as the gift? Kazuhiko pondered.

Just then, a screen appeared beside the status screen.

[Cheat Activated: Growth

Growth of the host's stats are multiplied.]

"Eh?" Kazuhiko was surprised.

"This is..." He read the description again and again.

'With this, I can be stronger than anyone.'

~~~~~~~~~~

After fiddling with his stats for a while, Kazuhiko did not find anything. Its just the average status window from RPGs.

Thus, he decided to find a way out of the forest while its still day. Who knows what might happen at night.

So, Kazuhiko began walking towards east. He used the sun as a compass after climbing a tree earlier. He just randomly picked east as the trees in that direction is a little lower in numbers compared to the other directions.

As he is humming as he walked through the forest, he heard a strange sound.

"Gyaaaaagh!"

Kazuhiko turned towards the direction of the source of the sound. He went behind a tree and crouched down while looking warily at the direction of the sound's source.

Then, the bushes rustled.

Kazuhiko looked around him quickly and saw a long stick that can be used as a makeshift spear. Kazuhiko grabbed it with both hands as he stared at the rustling bushes.

Then, a green creature appeared. It wore a waistcloth and held a stone knife with holes in its right hand.

'A goblin.' Kazuhiko watched the goblin looked around.

After a minute of standing in place, the goblin turned around, its back facing Kazuhiko. The goblin began to walk away.

'Now's the chance.' Kazuhiko held the makeshift spear in his hands and dashed towards the goblin.

He raised the spear at chest-level as he is nearing the goblin.

The goblin seemed to heard something and turned around. Unfortunately, Kazuhiko had already reached it.

He thrust the spear with all his might towards the goblin's throat.

"GUAAA—"

The spear tore through the throat of the goblin. Kazuhiko immediately lowered the other end of the spear, turning the tip inside the goblin's throat upwards. With a push, the tip of the spear pierced the goblin's brain.

Using the weight of the goblin, Kazuhiko stabbed the other tip of the spear onto the ground. Surprisingly, the stack managed to endure all of that and not break.

Blood dripped down from the goblin's throat onto the spear, eventually dropping onto the ground, making a puddle of blood. On the lifeless goblin's face is an emotion of surprise and fright.

"I... killed..." Kazuhiko's heartbeat went fast.

'No. Calm down. It was for survival. To be stronger. Don't let emotions flood your mind.' Kazuhiko calmed himself down by taking deep breaths.

After a while, he was calm as water even though he just killed a living creature with intellect. The goblin's blood had already formed a puddle underneath its impaled body.

Just then, a series of screens appeared in front of him.
