Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Tales of Saridia

Arc 1: Land of Saridia.

"The name's Kinata Seikatsu. I'm 19 years old, I'm currently living in University where I'm studying game design. I don't have a lot of real-life friends, as most of them are online strangers. I have over 5000+ hours gaming... this year alone. I know this is the most generic way to start an Isekai story. But the man in the mirror looks at me and nods his head with that same old sadistic smile. The only thing I know for real... I. Am. My. Own. Master. Now."

(Inside a filthy University, with papers of badly drawn fanart of various video games lying all across the floor. Kinata stands inside combing his black hair into a middle-parted style with one of the hair bangs slightly covering his right Ebony-colored eye and his left eye is a light grey color, while he is singing "That's The Way I Wanna Rock'n'Roll" - AC/DC. He is wearing a long red coat, with no shirt underneath and black jeans with no shoes on at all. He is generally well built and seems to work out often, he looks around the age of 19 and is 5'9ft (175cm) tall. He stands in front of the mirror using the hair comb as a mic, but the reflection in the mirror doesn't look like him at all aside from the same eye colors, the reflection is wearing a black and green striped medieval woolen long-sleeve shirt, with bronze armor around his waist and a large piece of armor on his right shoulder and a short red cape that falls to his lower back, hanging from his left shoulder. His left hand is demon-like with the fingers being long sharp claws, it seems to be made of a strong silver-colored stone. Over his left hand is a rubber glove, with small pieces of armor built into it, around the knuckles and the backhand. His pants keep this black and green striped aesthetic, with bronze pieces of armor protecting his knees and lower legs. His boots are black, with pieces of armor around the tip of the boots and the heels.)

Kinata Seikatsu: (He looks at the still-standing reflection in the mirror and then down at himself.) Man! I bet I look like Dante from the Devil May Cry series! Not that I'd now, since all I've been seeing since my fucking childhood! (He points at the reflection.) Is you!!! My JRPG-looking friend! *Sigh* But I guess I'm gonna have to deal with you for a couple more years. (He looks over at his PC and looks at the time on his wristwatch, "7:12.") Yeah, I got the time! Besides, I am on the final dungeon in "Tales of Saridia" anyways... I am going to be the first person to beat the world's hardest game! Of course... even I legend like me needs a bit of help, from... less-legitimate means. Nothing more than a damage booster, lower enemy health, and the option to ACTUALLY PAUSE THE GAME, I'm looking at you Dark Souls! (He sits down on his chair in front of the PC, turns it on, puts his legs on the desk, and puts a piece of pizza in his mouth.) Nothing like sitting down and relaxing after spending three days studying for a math test that is gonna KICK MY ASS, so I might as well enjoy my freedom while I have it! (He notices an open bag of chips on the desk and puts the pizza back in the box.) Best to save this for later, either as celebration or as therapy. (He reaches into the bag.) Now like Light Yagami, I'll take this potato chip! And eat it! (Just as the chip lands in his mouth, his game loads, nearly instantly.) Ha! Just another benefit of having a god-tier PC. Sometimes I wonder if I love myself too much. (He sits down normally and starts playing the game, he walks into the final boss arena, a large empty room with several pillars standing inside it, it is inside a large, kilometer tall tower. A dark green and brown dragon drops down from above into the center of the arena, the dragon looks like the standard western depiction of a dragon, with a broken left horn and a large piece of his tail cut off.) Really?! Just a dragon?! I was honestly expecting the Devil himself! Or one of those overly-buff dudes with shoulders as large as boulders, that are always like "Beast Kings" or some shit like that, that I always see on Webnovel. Oh and let's not forget the white-haired, red-eyed, Vampires with Cultivation Systems! I don't even know what a fucking "system" is. (He completes the game, driving his sword right into the head of the dragon. The credits begin to roll and he leans back in his chair, eating the pack of chips.) Yet another feat, pulled off by the living god that is me! (He stands up from the chair and raises his arms.) Kinata "Uwaki" Seikatsu!!! (He closes his eyes and does I small dance.) I AM- (He opens his eyes again and sees himself standing in front of Medieval Castle, in a large city that is surrounded by several walls.) Eh...? Where the hell am I? Wait... wait! WAIT!!! A circular city... with square buildings, various fantasy creatures, a giant ass castle. Did I get Isekai'd? HahahaHAHAHA!!!Power-fantasy, Harem time, baby!!! NO MORE MATH TESTS!!!

(Inside a large bedroom, the curtains are closed giving the room this dark purple color to it. Lying on the bed is a woman, the only visible feature is her long white hair and her slim physique. She lies on the bed, eating from a bowl that has a strange amalgamation of pourage, berries, and meat inside of it.)

The woman: So, he arrived sooner than expected? (She puts the bowl down on the bed and stands up, revealing her 5'9ft height. She walks towards the curtains and pulls one slightly open, looking down at Kinata as her crimson-colored eyes reflect back at her.) He looks so young and pure... let's see if he can stand against the sun.

Kinata: (He walks through the streets of the city, he looks out of place among the Demi-humans and people wearing medieval clothing.) Okay, this place looks just like the capital of the Fantasyland. If this was a game, then they could've at least given me a sword... and A SHIRT. I feel naked like someone's going to throw me in a dungeon and... do stuff to me. (He shakes his head to get that image out of his head.) Let's go find an adventurer's guild. (Eventually, he reaches a two-story building, with "Adventuring Guild" written on top of the door. He walks inside the building, various amateur adventurers sit at the tables, drinking and eating. Others are standing at the job board and sharpening their weapons. He walks over to the board and starts looking at the available jobs.) Hmmm... mainly you're very basic stuff.

("Looking for Vampire Slaying Partner. Contact Samuel Reyes, if interested."

"Looking for members for an amateur party, consisting of a shut-in NEET, a useless blue thing, a grenade, and a masochist."

"Goblins sighted near farm, owners need help in killing the Goblins.")

The Receptionist: (He sees Kinata reaching out for the Goblin hunting one.) You're probably not going to want to take that one, we have someone who slays Goblins for a living.

Kinata: Oh...kay? (He reaches out to the Dire Wolf hunting request.) What about...

The Receptionist: Also not that one... (He looks as Kinata reaches out to the Healer party request.) DEFINITELY NOT THAT ONE!!!

Kinata: Is there anything on this board that won't rip me in half?!

The Receptionist: Are you even signed up for the guild?! For hell's sake, your most vital area isn't even protected and you even look like you've been up for two days.

Kinata: Well... that isn't inaccurate.

The Receptionist: (He reaches below the desk and takes out a paper, where various information has to be signed on.) Here you go then! It's not going to be my fault if you get yourself killed.

Kinata: (He enters all his information on the page and hands it over to the Receptionist.) There you go.

The Receptionist: "Kinata Seikatsu", strange name. Can you hold your hand over the page, please?

Kinata: (He holds his right hand over the page, just as he was told.) Sure, what's the point of this...? (Suddenly the Reception drives a knife straight through Kinata's hand, the page lights up as his blood drips on it. The Receptionist takes the knife out of his hand and Kinata holds onto it.) AAAAAH, what the fuck man?!

The Receptionist: Relax... it'll heal.

Kinata: It better!!! (The light from the page fades and Kinata looks at it.) "Kinata Seikatsu, 'The World's End.'"

The Receptionist: Huh... that's a strange adventuring name. But anyways, you're officially signed up for Saridia's Official Amateur Adventurer Guild. Good luck! Just take one of those jobs from the board and don't die.

Kinata: (He takes the Dire Wolf request off of the board as he walks out of the building while holding onto his right hand.) I'll try not to. (As he walks through the streets.) Well, this isn't one of the best moments of my life. But remember it takes time for the Isekai tropes to kick in. (As he continues to walk, he sees a woman being mugged and her screaming for help. He runs in to save the woman.) *Thinking to himself.* HERE IT IS!!! I'm going to save this woman, then I'm going to get plus one to my Harem!!! (He runs towards the mugger and with one straight kick to his face, the mugger falls to the ground. However Kinata loses balance and begins falling, he grabs the woman to keep balanced... but he accidentally grabs her chest with his right hand, smearing blood all over her clothing. He regains his balance.) Oh uhh... sorry about that. Let me just... (He takes the sleeve of his coat and wipes away the blood on her chest.) Wipe this...

The Woman: (She delivers a kick straight to Kinata's... manhood and he falls to the ground, she runs away from him.) DON'T TOUCH ME, YOU PERVERTED BASTARD!!!

Kinata: (Lying on the ground.) Right, boundaries... I might just fall asleep right here.

(Eventually, after 10 minutes a woman walks up to Kinata, the same woman from the castle. She places his sleeping head on top of her lap.)

The woman: (Gently caressing Kinata's hair.) Oh, you poor thing. Let's get you to safety, shall we?

(End of Chapter 1.)
