Skill? Nee yo Sonnamon! ~ Fugusha tachi no Saino Kaika ~

It! Get away! Fall down!”

Gasu gasu

『Gyaa!? Guruu!』

As the thing's head got closer to my underfoot, I started stomping down at the dog-man head in a panic.

Geshi dosu

『Gu, gau!』

Not sure if it works, but that did make it flinch, so it probably does.
Just fall down already! Jeez you're persistent!

Zuru

“Ah.”

I lost my balance from trying to stamp down in my position, my hands slipped.
Thus I fell down the ground–

“Like hell!”

Gashi!

『Gyain!?』

I grabbed the dogman's head just before I fell.
Whoa there! Almost fell down head first there!

Emergency power is awesome!
So now I'm hanging on the tree by clinging on the dogman's neck,
What's with this situation.
How'd it get to this.
I'm not falling now, but isn't this even worse?
Ugugu, I got no foothold, my position is direr than earlier.
I'm hanging on with grip strength alone but this won't last.

『Gafu…! Gafuu…
Gebu…』

The dogman itself seems to be suffering due to me hanging on its neck.
Ah shaking arms.
Oh yeah I know that feeling, keeping that posture is a toughie for sure.
I mean I fell and all.
I'm nearing my limit too.

Or more like this is it! Can't feel my arms anymore…
And just as I was about to let go of the dogman's neck.

My body suddenly felt like it was floating.

『Gubu…』

“Eh, wai-!

Falling down.
Both me and dogman.
This guy, he let go of his grip!
Gave out before me!

I crashed down the ground along with a 'zushagosha' sound.

“Ouch!”

M-my butt hurts.
Better than getting hit on head or legs, but it still hurts.
The fall wasn't too high since I was hanging onto that thing, but painful is painful! Uguoooo….!
Ha, this ain't time to writhe! The dogman's still here…
Huh?

The dogman isn't moving a muscle.
Looks like it fell headfirst, its neck is pointed in the wrong direction with bubble coming out of its tongue sticking mouth.
Also, its stat window has turned red.

…Looks like it's dead if the screen is to be believed.
I-I'm saved.
Thought I'd meet my end there.

Would this be counted as a manslaughter? Wait it's not even a human.
I'm feeling the relief of having overturned a crisis more than senses of guilt for killing a living creature.
Living is simply wonderful.

But the situation hasn't actually improved.
No telling if there aren't more monsters like this, and I still have no clue where I am.

But man, isn't this that?
That stuff popular in web and light novels, isekai transport?
I mean with that weird mutt and status menu thing, I can't think of any other possibility.
So cliche.
I mean, where's the cue for all this isekai stuff.
I got transported here way sloppy.
Shouldn't there be, like, a deity that gives me cheat or something? None? Okay then.
I'm gonna be mad if this whole thing turned out to be a big elaborate joke.

Now then, no point fussing over nonexistent stuff.
Gotta focus on overcoming this.
Should I shout out loud to look for people again?
…No the risk is too high.
Some weird creatures might pop up again.
Just one of them was too much for me.
Anymore would be bad.
Guess I should start walking to seek people or buildings while looking out for monsters.
Haa, so tiring.

Ah, right.
Considering I could see dogman's status, I should be able to see mine too, yeah?
That dogman thing got a 【Skill】 and all, maybe I've got some special amazing otherworld skills myself!
How do I see my own status again.
Ah, it popped up.
Below my name, there's other stuff written.

Eh?

Uwaa…
My stats are so low…?
No, forget low, they're zeroes! All zeroes!
What in the world is ERROR Job!? I'm just your ordinary factory worker!
Skills too, forget incredible ones, I've got nothing.
Gimme one at least….
Ah, got exp.
Was that from beating dogman? Yay.
That's not comforting at all! Dammitall!

I mean, MP and SP are one thing, but what's up with zero HP.
I'd have been dead then.
Zombie? Am I a Zombie? But I'm not rotting anywhere though? Or am I?

Whoa wait? There's some additional values on my Attack and Defense?
Are these (+2) and (+5) bonus from beating that dogman?
Can I check the detail? Oh, I can.

Equipment.

Safety Shoes
ATK+2 DEF+5

Nope, that wasn't it.
Dunno if +2 and +5 are high or low since there's nothing to compare.

Haa…
What the heck with these shit stats.
I'd been okay with something anything, but what even are all zeroes.
How did I even manage to beat that dogman.
Must be coincidences over coincidences.

I'm fully aware how I don't excel in anything even without seeing that.
I might have one if only I work hard at something toward my goal, but I have no goal.
What do I want to be in the future? Nothing in particular.
Well maybe to be rich and spend all day lazing around.
Something I want to do? I'm fine with just browsing the web, gaming and reading manga.
Aspiring job? None.
I work to get money, there ain't no job I wanna do cuz I like it.
…Man I'm really a good for nothing, am I.

Thus after years of bumping around like this, the aspiration-less [me] was formed before I realized.
I don't shirk on my job, but if you ask if I'm good at an aspect at it, the answer would be nope.
I have no attachment to my position and nothing would really be affected even if I'm not there, an inconsequential existence.
That's me.
Hmm yup, guess that's why my status are all zeroes, being a useless human and all.
Oh crap, I'm getting super depressed thinking about it.
I'm already in hot water as is, I shouldn't turn to negative mind set, would make me suicidal instead.

Nothing to gain by being depressed, for now I should focus on seeking out people.
This dimness is bad for view and alertness against monsters, hope it's dawn soon.

Still, even with the moon high up in the sky, it sure is quite bright for nighttime.
I can even distinguish colors if I focus.
Ah, didn't notice earlier but there is an additional light source from the second moon up there.
No wonder it's bright.
Yep, it's another world alright.
