It was a sunny day, with the hot blazing sun high above, people in armor and weapons moving nonstop and the smell of blood was in the air.
Looking up, he found himself staring at a giant shield attached to a building where those people wearing armor were going in and out without stopping.
Seeing all of this before him, he could only think of one thing: "Transmigration... I'm in another world, right?"
A few hours earlier.
It was early in the morning, around 9am. After spending three hours on the bus, he managed to get to the destination he wanted.
At last, the man was finally able to participate in a cosplay event.
Since he first learn such an act was a thing he had longed to spend a day within one of these events and take pictures with people cosplaying.
In that time he spent going around asking to have a picture with them. Most of the people cosplaying refused to take pictures with him or ignored him.
Still, he made sure this wasn't gonna ruin his time in there.
Within a couple of hours, he has taken 24 pictures with all kinds of characters and even managed to take 7 pictures with different people cosplaying his favorite anime girl.
He even managed to buy some anime merch that he could buy with his limited funds, though he had to skip lunch because of it.
Since he didn't tell his mother that he was attending a cosplay event he had to leave before 3pm so he could take the bus and go home.
As soon as he took a step outside the mall where the cosplay event was, he found himself in this place.
In the first ten minutes since he got here, he simply stood in front of the building before him.
With the people around him gazing at him, he walked away in front of the double door of the building and sat on the bench across the street.
"Haaa." He sighed. To think he became an isekai person on his own. He never once thought of him being one, sure, he imagined himself, but that was mostly in his head.
You might be thinking, didn't he just come from a cosplay event? How can he be so sure that this is another world and not just some prank made by some wealthy people?
Simple. The blood smeared over the person's face was too real, along with the smell of it. The floating woman holding a staff, being dragged by a bulky person, was too realistic.
The dead creatures twitching even when they are pierced by a spear were too gruesome to be fake. And most of all, the humanoid animal-headed people walking in the street.
And seeing some of the common monsters he knew from the fantasy series he had watched, hanging on the back of some people entering the building, he knew he was not hallucinating this.
Some people around him were smiling at empty air, watching them he muttered: "Status."

"Hmmm.... Is this good?" He asked, looking at his status window and stats being at ten points only.
Was having ten points in all your stats good or not? He couldn't tell or know.
Since no one was gonna answer him, he tapped his pockets to see if he had anything on him.
When he got to this world, he found that the bag that was on his back was gone.
After a while of tapping every inch of his body, he found something in his pocket.
Pulling it out, he found a small lighter with a flashlight set on it. Using it, he smiled and said: "So, this is my only connection with that world?"
To think that the only thing that would remind him of his original world is a small lighter, a lighter with a tiny flashlight set on it.
Still, he held tight to it not wanting it to be stolen by anyone, then...
[The system has found your existence.]
[ As a way to help you live in this world, you are given a chance to take one item that will be part of your existence.]
[A ticket that allows you to make an object part of your existence and to summon it again when destroyed.]
[An ability that will help you survive in this world.]
Looking at the four panels before him, he smiled, then pressed the third panel.
A second later, he found something forming in his pocket, pulling it out he found a small golden ticket.
Grabbing the lighter and wrapping the ticket around it, he asked the panel: "What now?"
[Would you like to use the ticket? Y/N]
Without hesitation, he pressed the Y option on the panel. Without any form of flash of light or something fancy, the ticket simply disappeared.
"Is that it?" He couldn't tell whether the promise words were true or not. The only way for him to know this was to have the lighter destroyed.
He couldn't do it right now, since if he destroyed the lighter it would make a small explosion that might alert the people around him, and mistake him as a bad person.
"Fuck!" He muttered, annoyed that he couldn't even know whether it was working or not. Putting the lighter back in his pocket, he pressed the second panel.
A second later, multiple box panels appeared to him with all kinds of items in them.
From modern weapons, cold weapons, armors, potions, woks, kitchen tools, farming tools, and many more.
Five minutes later.
"I choose this one." Nine said, tapping the panel box with a hammer on it. Just like before he felt something forming in his pocket and pulled it out without hesitation.
Yet the thing he pulled out was a small black string bracelet only, not the hammer he pressed. Putting it on, the hammer manifested in his hand, and a panel appeared.
[Hammer. Durability: 10. Attack power: 10.
Effects: When hit by someone, your next hit with the hammer will stun them for 10 seconds. This will work 5 times in one target.]
Reading the details about it, he raised it up and down; it felt weightless. At the same time, he could tell it was hard and durable.
Finally, he pressed the last panel.
[Ability: Balance breaker.
You can pick three of your stats; each time you level up, these three will increase by 2 points on their own.
Note: You cannot pick the Luck stat.]
"Hmmm." Summoning his status window. Nine presses his [Vitality], [Agility], and [Stamina] stats without hesitation.
[The system hopes you live the life you want in this world. You will be given the following items to start your life.
20 silver coins. Identity template.]
[You can summon them by using the given bracelet. You may now proceed to the adventurer guild]
Looking forward, he found arrows pointing towards the building he was staring at before.
Summoning ten coins he received from the system, he walked inside it.
