Jacob, was a boy from modern day earth, is a prodigy among high schooler in studies, no one in his class is his match, be it mathematics, biology, chemistry, or anything else, he is unbeatable, because of this he became one of the top student in his class. He is also from a wealthy family, so, naturally he was born with silver spoon. Unfortunately, this boy meets his end, by trying to save a child from getting hit by a truck.
"Ah...so this the end end, I hope that child is okay, if so, then it is worth it"
This is what he thought in his last moments, but in next moment.
"Huh? The pain is gone? What's happening here?"
Jacob looked at his surrounding and found that he is in a forest not in hospital, he also doesn't seems to have any injuries on him.
"Don't tell me...Is this what I read in those comics, where a protagonist for some unknown reason get isekai'd to another world?"
Aside from being a topper, Jacob was also secretly a hardcore otaku, although he make sure to not neglect his studies, which result in no one outside his family and servants to know about Jacob's otaku nature.
"(Sigh)...It can't be helped, I guess that I have start a new life from scratch. I hope my sister take care of my family after my death in earth"
Jacob understanding his situation, scanned the surroundings, he seems to be in in the middle of the forest, with no one around.
"First I have to create a base for myself, before I explore this forest"
After thinking this, he immediately start to work. He built a makeshift axe using fallen wooden stick, rock and vines. Suddenly a mechanical voice came.
[Basic production is added to the skills]
"Huh, what's this?!"
Jacob was shocked when heard that voice, he understood everthing.
"Not only I transmigrated, but I have a status screen?, if so I have to see my status. But how I open it?"
After trying, he finally understood how to unlock his status screen. Then he saw his status.

Using the axe he cut down the trees, and built a hut for himself, he created many weapons, such a makeshift knife, makeshift spear, makeshift bow and makeshift arrows. He then hunt the animals for meat and using his appraisal he checked whether the fruits and vegetables are poisonous or not.
