Chapter | 1 [Hell?]

Chapter | 1.

"Alright, this should be the last episode I believe." While waiting for his order to be prepared, Hayashi Akiyama, a twenty-one year old pizza delivery guy, was watching the recently released anime Slave harem in the labyrinth.

Though akiyama did not prefer including watching anime in his work life because he had an objective, which was to earn an immense amount of money and then purchase a huge property in some remote village, he breached that ideology today as he had been working over time for two straight days because he needed urgent money and by completing today's night shift he would probably secure a sufficient amount.

"Hayashi-kun, your package is ready." A feminine voice came from behind Akiyama, so he paused the anime and looked back. And noticed a girl in a white t-shirt with a black apron standing behind him, holding an extra-large package of pizza's.

As he took off the earphone, Akiyama asked excitedly, "that's for me?"

"Yup, one customer placed the entire order." As she handed him the extra-large package, the girl said.

While reading the address on the package and giving the girl a friendly nod, Akiyama secretly groaned about his bad luck because his delivery tip would be going down again this time.

Akiyama mounted his bike and pressed the ignition button to start the vehicle after putting the shipment inside of the container box.

Vroom…

The bike started with a loud noise, so Akiyama clutched a gear and pressed the accelerator. The bike right away began to accelerate forward and began to converse with the air. After crossing the highway, akiyama turned his bike onto a one-lane road and saw two bright lights approaching him.

"Why didn't you just sit on one bike, you fuckwits, if you wanted to talk that much?" Akiyama yelled wildly and accelerated up rather than slowing down in order to teach those guys a lesson.

Honk... Honk....

"You scumbags, I'm not moving." Akiyama, whose eyes were about to close, yelled one last time before those two razor-sharp illumination hit him like an asteroid.

[scene change]

"E-Excuse me, brave stranger, are you okay?" Akiyama, who had felt as if he had been sleeping for an eternity, awoke to find a dozen bloodied corpses in front of him. And as he shifted his gaze to the right, he noticed an old man with blood all over his clothes.

"Am i in hell?" The gibberish unknowingly came out of Akiyama's mouth at the sight of everything being the colour of blood, but as he continued to look at the old man, he noticed that something strange was hovering above his head.

Somala <Village chief: lv8>

His mind began to race wildly shortly upon realising that the thing he had just seen seemed remarkably reminiscent of the status screen he had watched in a anime before those two light hit him.

"You're in our village, brave stranger, not in the depths of hell." Seeing Akiyama's peculiar actions, the old village chief said. 

'Village? Then why is there so much blood and dead bodies?' The gory scene was making akiyama's stomach grumble, but then a flood of memories rushed through his mind, explaining what was happening and how in the world he had ended up in this situation.

Akiyama felt like crying after all these years once he realised he had just died and been transported into an anime he hadn't even finished watching, yet he handled his emotions and went through an appropriate exchange with the village chief since he was already familiar with this scene.

Many strangers too came to talk with Akiyama as the village chief guided him towards his home, but both parties found it difficult to understand each other's languages, so the villagers left, with disappointment being evident on their faces. According to the chief, the language that the two of them were able to communicate in is known as brahim, but sadly the residents of this village were not fluent in it.

"Given that it sounds so crucial from what you've said, why don't you teach them the Brahim language?" as they had finally arrived in front of the chief's house, akiyama asked. 

"The main issue here is the lack of interest, not that I don't want to teach them Hayashi-sama." The village chief explained with courtesy, as there is little to no interaction among villagers and town residents, so learning a not profitable language is like a waste of time for them.

Akiyama, who had absolutely no understanding of any of this, decided not to inquire further and instead chose to simply follow the chief as he led him inside the house. The house was a two-story western-style building, and from what Akiyama could make out of the area, the civilisation didn't appear to be very advanced.

"Hayashi-Sama, please make yourself at home as you must be tired after that battle. My wife will prepare the hot water for you in the meantime." Chief said before walking into a small room that akiyama assumed was a kitchen and when he came out, he led Akiyama to a small side-room before leaving back the room so he could finish his work.

"Sigh, what kind of fucked up development is this?" Akiyama swore right away as the chief left the room since he had no concept of what to do in a world where abilities and strength were far greater than anything else. And, while he had thoroughly enjoyed those eleven episodes of the anime, it was not to the extent that he remembered every minute detail of it.

"Do I even have that status-like thing, or did I just acquire appraisal skill?" Akiyama muttered as now he was alone, he wanted to bring up the status screen just like he had seen in the anime given that he had no idea how this game like stuff worked.

"Thank heavens." The status screen suddenly materialised in front of Akiyama, who exclaimed in pure bliss.
