It was so bright I feel like I'm already blind by now. But I don't think I have eyes right now anyway since I don't even feel like I have a body in the first place.
「Hey! What did you do to me!?」
Out of irritation, I subconsciously spew out an impatient and tired question. And a rather loud one at that.
「I simply brought your soul to my own personal land.」
Come to think of it, I was just in a street like seconds ago and now I'm in this heavenly place. By heavenly, I meant clouds, clouds, clouds and clouds everywhere in the skies. My body along with that person in front of me seem like we're standing in an invisible floor where below it was dyed in the endless color of sky blue as thought the skies were not only above but also below.
Eh? Is it just me or is my body a little too blue and transparent? And that guy in front of me. Is he dead too?
「Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not.」
「Th-That voice! You're that isekai God!」
The man in front of me didn't look normal at all. How can there be such a coincidence when an ikemen wearing noble clothes of that caliber is standing in front of me oozing with that so-called divine aura.
「You've got that right. Allow me to introduce myself.」
For a God he does have manners and sounds like one. His golden eyes sparkled as he blinked and his godcrafted ikemen face distorted into a narrow smile as he lowered his head, making his untidy hair shift a little down below.
「Clodwal Okamura of the Okamura Household. The God Of Seals holding the title of "Celestial Owl" and the one in charge of the world Sigillare. A world that I have created billions of years ago.」
Hmmm, reading this atmosphere shouldn't I introduce myself first?
「There is no need.」
Well, he is a God so it's only natural. I'm really bad at conversations and this guy just had to be a party pooper to stop me.
「I can hear you, you know.」
「Can I ask why you need to send me to save your world? You're a God aren't you? So you can just save it on your own with a snap of your finger like Thanos?」
I swallowed my saliva waiting for a good answer and sat down on a red couch that had just appeared out of nowhere.
「Divine Gods like myself are strictly forbidden to save their own worlds. That rule was made absolute by none other than my father, Azathoth. But he still atleast had the decent mindless mind to propose a suggestion.」
I listened to him intently, so there are more Gods besides Clodwal-san and their leader was Azathoth who he said was his dad.
「Instead of letting us save our worlds in times of danger, he suggested us to use humans to save other humans. The options for which are either summoning, reincarnation or granting.」
He gave me a brief explanation of what those three options were. And so it seems to go like this.
Summoning: The God summons a Hero from another world governed by a different God to save his own world.
Reincarnation: When an inhabitant of a world dies, the souls that died at that same time the God began his search will be selected randomly and be summoned in the God's presence to discuss and reincarnate the soul to save their world.
Granting: An uncommon option with the lowest amount of selections. The World's God chooses one of his people to become a Hero and give them outstanding abilities befitting of their title.
So, I'm a summoned hero, right? That actually doesn't sound bad at all. It seems cool even!
「No, you're somewhere between a summoned and a reincarnated hero. 」
Ooooohh! So I'm special afterall! I jumped in joy at his dumbfounded expression.
「It's actually not anything special. It's simply a hero who has been summoned in my realm by being summoned and was reborn in my world without dying.」
So... No extra treatments and benefits?
「None.」
...Well that's fine, I guess. Things like that happen sometimes, right? It's not like I'm disappointed or anything since it's just a way of being summoned.
By the way, what should I save this world of yours from? The demon king or something?
「I can't tell you that.」
O-Okay? I feel like it's worse than a demon king now.
In any case...
「So when shall we get started?」
His face seem to have brightened up. I wonder what kind of world his world is.
「My world is a world of Swords and Magic where magical creatures of every shapes and sizes exists. With their corresponding habitats stationed in every part of Sigillare.」
Hey hey Hey!
Is he serious?! I'm going to a world of Swords and Magic! My lifelong dream! And he's the God in charge of such a world! Awesome!
「Now then, I bid you farewell. Best of luck in your departure.」
Wait! One more question! What if I fail to save your world?
「...You will return to your world and watch your mother die.」
Th-That's in our agreement so I shouldn't complain... I should even be thankful he chose me at the right time and gave me the chance to change fate and save my mother.
「One more thing. Never let anyone know you're the hero. It's part of your mission.」
That's weird, why shouldn't I? If I did I would be surrounded by fans and I would be treated like a celebrity, right?
「A hero is there to save a world out of the goodness of his heart, not to have fame and a comfortable lifestyle. And not only that, fans would just be a drag when saving a world. That I can assure you, since a hero I have summoned before died from that reason. So make sure you never let anyone know you're the Hero as much as possible. Also, there is one other reason but I won't tell you that.」
He's keeping too many secrets from me. But his eyes were not lying though, I guess I should listen to him.
「O-Oh. So there were cases like that... Heroes die too, eh? So I could die anytime too?!」
And where are my skills?! Don't I get to choose my skills at the very beginning in the first place?!
Sure enough he didn't hear me. Now I'm absolutely going to die as a hero in a world with so much power rankings! My head felt like it was spinning and my body felt heavy. Then my eyes shut itself on it's own without any sort of warning.
Uwaah.....
Ouch, my buttocks hurts. And this place... Theres no doubt about it. This is a forest! Trees, trees, pebbles, sticks and plants! Beautiful!
I jumped in joy and performed a full on butterfly dive at a sea of green grass. Yes, just your natural grass you see in a yard on earth. But it was grass in another world! So surely it will feel a little diff–
Before I could even finish my sentence, a terrible feeling reached my crotch after landing on the ground.
Fuck... My junior hit it's head on the ground. Wait... Why was my junior even there in the first place?
『Answer, because you're a male.』
「Bughaa! No! It's because I was stark naked in the first place! And who the hell are you?! A robotic God or something?!」
As I was just about to complain to my heart's content because my wiener hurts so bad from that fall, a computerized yet feminine voice entered my mind much similarly to how Clodwal-san communicated to me.
『Answer, negative. I am an artificial intelligence born from your skill"Auto-Pilot".』
A-A skill? But I didn't choose one when I was summoned though. So you're the appraisal skill, right?
『Answer, negative. I am the "Auto-Pilot" skill.』
Hohoho! Awesome! So I did get skills afterall! Now then, Skill-san, how do I get to see all my skills?!
『Answer, master please utter or imagine the word〝Status〟』
Just as I expected! The classic, huh?
Listening to what the skill instructed, I inhaled and relaxed my breathing. The fresh air given by the trees around me gave me confidence and a feeling of relaxation.
「Status!」
My dream has finally come true. I'm finally in another world with skills in a world of swords and magic that I've always read about in novels and mangas.
I confessed loudly to my"Auto-Pilot" skill as a small blue window the size of a cutboard appeared right in front of me.

Even without knowing this world's commonsense, I can already tell I'm incredibly powerful just by looking at my intelligence value which easily exceeds billions.
But what really caught my eye was my age and height. I've become 11 years old again? I remember this is my height too when I was in that age. Atleast it's better than being a toddler out in the woods.
And my race... Ningen? Is that supposed to be a higher specie than hyumans? Because that's what I read in novels so it's probable.
My eyes unintentionally sparkled in delight as I rubbed my hands together.
「So statwise, what's the average stat of the humans in this world, Skill-san?」
Almost immediately, the feminine yet computerized voice of my skill spoke aloud in my brain, making me feel slightly dizzy.
『Answer, the average stat of a human in this world is 80 for strength, agility and defence while the intelligence stat is always above 8,800 for humans. The intelligence stat reflects ones knowledge. Although, in master's case. He has no such knowledge but has a certain skill that allows him to know anything about this world.』
I can tell she's referring to herself from that way of talking. I can even imagine a smug onee-san right now.
「Oh! I got an idea. You don't have a name right, skill-san?」
『Answer, negative.』
Bingo!
「Then I'll give you one!」
Let's see. She's awfully quiet while I'm thinking, she's probably thinking it's best to stay quiet to let me focus a bit more on a good name.
「...Alvis.」
『...』
Is it a good name? I hope she likes it. It's a name I remembered in a book I read which says it means "All-Wise".
『Answer, then from now on I shall address myself as Alvis. I will be in your care, master.』
From the tone of her voice, she seems to like it. I'm happy!
「Hey Alvis, how do you think we can survive in this forest and find a human settlement?」
To be honest, I was kinda expecting to be reincarnated as a king's son or something. I scratched my head and sighed at this problem.
My stomach at the wrong timing, made an unpleasant noise signaling that I'm hungry.
『Answer, there is a human settlement approximately 84km to the west. As there are currently no transportation services or a skill for transportation in your possession, you have no choice but to walk.』
Fuck, 84km? That would take days by walking! I would starve to death!
Oh well, guess I'll die.
「Mom, dad. I'm going to heaven with you soon enough...」
『Master, your mother isn't dead yet, you know?』
And that's how me and my first companion started off our journey to save the world.
Skills count as companions if they can talk, right?
『He just ignored me...』
