"There's no one here… right…?"
I peeked out the door cautiously to confirm my surroundings, but as I had hoped, there were no signs of people. I stepped into the room again, overwhelmed once more by the sensation of trees and wood all around me.
When I entered the room, I saw a wooden closet next to the desk and chair, and inside that closet were pairs of slim shirts, trousers, and underwear which looked and smelled like new fabric that obviously weren't my size. It was a bit disappointing, since it felt unexpectedly smooth when I touched it.
"Oh, I didn't notice it until now, but there's a window in here."
I approached the window and looked outside. And then…
"Whoa…"
The area beyond the window was dense with trees. The house I lived in wasn't anything like a mountainous area. It was in a residential area a bit secluded, and normally you could see cars passing by, both in front and behind the lot. However, this cabin was completely surrounded by forest…
"As I thought, it's a different world…."
I thought as I opened the window and Pure air flowed into my lungs which I couldn't imagine breathing from a city. I couldn't hear the sound of any cars, nor were there any construction noises, just a tranquil silence.
I closed the window and looked around the room again, and noticed a paper on the desk.
"What's this?"
I picked up the paper and tried to read it, but it had strange characters that I didn't recognise.
"I can't read this. Is it a language from this other world?"
Despite my lack of understanding, a message appeared when I stared at the letter for a few moments longer.
You have acquired the skill [Language Comprehension].
'Hey, Hey, hey! What's this useful skill?' I appraised it immediately.
[Language Comprehension] :: A skill that grants you the understanding and ability to read and write in any language.
It was such a useful skill. If this is also effective on Earth, wouldn't English be a piece of cake? Anyway, since I'd gotten such a long-awaited skill, I turned my eyes back to the letter and was able to comprehend the unknown language that I couldn't read before.
To summarise, the previous owner of this house had decided to part with this cabin, because his life was soon to come to an end. Because he had no family, if anyone found this house, he would give that person ownership, along with everything inside the house. The registration of ownership was also updated somehow, with the power of magic, such that it wouldn't be possible for anyone other than the owner to enter the house without the owners permission.
This was probably because I got the title of [Master of The House], since I became its owner. From the description of the title, I could understand that a wise man once lived here, but how amazing was he? Personally, I think it's incredible to prevent anyone other than the owner and the ones he wish from entering, but was that wouldn't possibly be a normal thing in this world right?
I think I was incredibly lucky that the door connected to this place… I'm very grateful for that.
"Well, whatever… first of all, I'm relieved to know there's nobody else in this house, and that means no one but me will ever come here and also that I now own 2 houses."
As soon as I discovered this house was now mine, all of my wariness went right out the window. Since things had turned out like this, I decided to check out everything in this place…
"Is all this real…?"
There were so many kinds of weapons all over the place. I tried to pick up the first sword I saw.
"Whoa!? It-It's heavy…"
Obviously, my physical strength was pretty low, so just holding up a sword is almost enough to make me almost fall over. I guess I need to do full-on muscle training or hunting.
"Even so… it's a cool sword."
It was a double-edged sword that gleamed as if it had just been polished, and the blade clearly reflected my face. The handle was almost completely undecorated, but there was still something amazing about this sword in my hand, so much so that even an amateur like me could feel it.
I immediately tried using [Appraisal] on the sword, out of curiosity.
[Omni-Sword] :: The pinnacle of all swords. The blade remains shiny without tarnishing, and the edge is always perfectly sharp. It's said to be capable of cutting anything, but that depends on the contractor. Not for sale. Contractor: Tenjou Yuuya.
"Seriously!?"
It's more incredible than I could have imagined! Moreover, I'd signed the contract before I knew it! Even if you say it's not for sale, there's no way I could sell this kind of thing, right!? It's too amazing!
Wait, what kind of person was that wise man again? To think he'd just leave this sword lying around in that disorderly pile of weapons!? Something this amazing should be handled appropriately with proper respect…
I was surprised at the wise man who I'd never be able to meet anyway, but I wanted to give this sword a swing.
Putting the Sword back I felt like checking the outdoor of the house as I went towards the Outdoor Door and I opened it,
"WoW"
Apparently, the land this house was built on was pretty spacious, and the front area was like a garden. There were also fields to cultivate fruits or vegetables.
"Is this all included as part of the house?, I hope so"
If it wasn't, I couldn't go out carelessly… but when I wondered about it, a message appeared.
[The inside of the fence surrounding this house is the owner's land.]
Oh, so in other words, no one can even enter this garden! Neat! Now I can go outside and enjoy the garden to my heart's content!
Looking around the garden and the gentle breeze I decided to try and swing my sword for a while to see if anything happens,
Then I tried to swing the heavy sword however I pleased, but…
"Ugh"
It was hopeless. The end result was more like me swinging the sword like a rod around the place, I couldn't even swing it properly… No, in hindsight, that result was obvious I have never held a sword in whole life talk less about swinging properly,
And a few minutes later I started panting.
"Well… uh… that was fun…" Even though I couldn't do anything, I laid down on the spot, with an odd feeling of satisfaction. Then a message appeared again in front of me.
You have acquired the skill [Swordsmanship: 1]
"Huh!?, Just like that"
'[Swordsmanship] skill!? Just by swinging it around!? Besides that, what was the number next to it?'
Thinking So I focused on [Swordsmanship: 1], a detailed explanation was displayed. That's the [Appraisal] skill for you.
[Swordsmanship: 1] :: Skills to handle swords. The numbers represent proficiency, with a highest value being 10.
In other words, was I now a super beginner when it came to handling a sword? No, I honestly think it's presumptuous to even call myself a beginner… Still, is this skill something that can be learned so easily? I hope not
"Ah, maybe it's the effect of the [Otherworlder] title?"
That would be the case I guess
"Even so, it's weird that I was able to learn this quickly… what about the other weapons?"
Inspired by my new curiosity, I put the sword back in Item Box and went out into the garden with other weapons. After appraising them one by one, I started to get the sense that anything I picked up was going to be an amazing item.
[Absolute Spear] :: The one and only spear that exceeds the Divine Spear. It's said that this spear can pierce anything, depending on the contractor. This spear can't be broken. If you throw it, it will always hit the target and will return to your hand. Not for sale. Contractor: Tenjou Yuuya.
[Death Scythe] :: A scythe that could even kill the God of Death. It is said to be capable of cutting anything the contractor wants. Any existence cut by this scythe, no matter how small it is, will give a fatal wound. Not for sale. Contractor: Tenjou Yuuya.
[Infinity Gauntlet] :: Not only does this increase striking power, this gauntlet can also be used for protection. One blow is equal to an infinite number of attacks. Not for sale. Contractor: Tenjou Yuuya.
[Formless Bow] :: The ultimate bow without a fixed physical form. Depending on the contractor's will, it can produce an infinite number of arrows. The arrows are said to be capable of shooting through the world. It will absolutely hit whatever target the contractor desires to. Not for sale.
Contractor: Tenjou Yuuya.
And so on....
Well, there were a considerable number of weapons, but I was able to touch all of them. Therefore, I only have one impression of everything: All of them are stupendous. I don't know why this stuff was just scattered around, and I don't know what kind of person the wise man was, but more than that, it's amazing that of all people, I'm the contractor. Now, this is my current status…

And Just as I was about done reading I saw another window appear in front of my eyes again,
[You have met the required condition. Integrating all martial arts skills together.]
[You have acquired the skill [True Martial Art: 1]
What's this [True Martial Art]!? I used [Appraisal] immediately, and it was displayed as follows:
[True Martial Art] :: A state that can only be reached by those who have learned all weapons and hand-to-hand combat arts. You can master all weapons and hand-to- hand combat.
'But I can't though? It's impossible, no matter what you think! I was just swinging those weapons around!' However, regardless of my thoughts, the text on my status has been changed, and that massive list of weapon skills has disappeared, replaced with [True Martial Art: 1].
Did Mr. Wise Man person also have this outrageous skill…? I guess he did. Without even knowing what was happening, I'd suddenly gotten an incredible bonus.
'Well guess with so many factors and the protagonist Halo that I have in this world It wouldn't be a surprise I guess'
And now that I think about it I think I have acquired a major portion of Yuuya Tenjou personality which I guess would be Obvious but I hope it's only the Good parts and not the Unbelievably Exaggerated Parts which the protagonists have I mean It's Alright Since I am in his body and it would help avoid suspicion but I am not timid like him and I know how to use my brain and fight back and now that I have empathy I wouldn't suffer like the dense protagonist he was tagged as,
After thinking that, I tried to tidy up all of the weapons that scattered outside, when I remembered that I had acquired the [Item Box] skill, and decided to use it. However, when I tried to use it, I realized I didn't know how to actually activate it, and so I tried to chant [Item Box] in my mind, at which point a black space hole suddenly appeared in front of me.
I was quite amazed by that, but when I realized I could make it appear or disappear with just a thought, I threw a ballpoint pen in the house into the black space After I tried to make the black space appear and disappear again, I timidly reached out into the space, and soon the information about the ballpoint pen flowed into my mind.
After that, I went about my business smoothly, throwing the scattered weapons one after another into the [Item Box] to tidy up. Of course, I confirmed that I could freely store and retrieve things from it. It would be surprising to show it off on Earth.
After I had finished all this testing, I was mentally exhausted, and I went through the mysterious door with halting steps, back into the hidden room.
When I went back a few minutes later my stomach suddenly grumbled. I checked my watch, and it was right at dinner time. Now that I think about it… the other side of that door had the same timeflow as here. I was grateful for that at least.
I opened the refrigerator to satisfy my hunger, but it was empty. "Aw, man… I thought I would have some groceries, but apparently not…"
It was a real drag, but I can't ignore it, so I picked up my wallet and decided to go to a nearby convenience store to buy some food. Outside, I was exposed to intense cold weather, even though it was still early spring, and I started shivering immediately.
Yup… it was a result of being careless I guess…
I was already getting tired walking due to my fat body, but I managed to get to a nearby convenience store,
I picked up a few ingredients necessary for my cooking and went home,
As I reached home I went to the 'Otherworld House' and picked a few vegetable ingredients and fruits needed for my cooking, I wanted to use [Appraisal] on them first but my hunger got the better of me so I left it for later and went back to my home,
Soon I started cooking but suddenly I got a notification,
[You have acquired the skill [Cooking: 1]
'Wha-What?, It works this way too?' I questioned surprised by the sudden notification,
'Great, now I won't need to waste effort to learn things quickly' I thought looking at the system and thinking and daydreaming about my future prospects,
Afterwards I finished cooking and after finishing dishes went to sleep,
I was still excited about tomorrow and the upcoming future ahead as I would become stronger and become rich and travel the world no travel and explore the universe and outer space or maybe much more than that,
I calmed myself down as I thought I was getting over excited and went to sleep,
Suddenly after later midnight I woke up from my sleep abruptly and started feeling painful and itchy all around my body and started sweating profusely and just as I was about to get up the pain went down, I was thinking whether to wake up and check but I was feeling too lazy and sleepy right now to check and went back to sleep once again,
To Be Continued....
