This story begins with a young man named Rio Kevin.

As this story starts, we can find Rio who's currently covering his eyes from the bright light that's hurting his eyes. He stood silently as he used his arms to shield his face. He couldn't see beyond the bright light, which robbed his ability to see.

For his appearance, Rio had an appearance that could be considered as 'handsome' with light complexion, pitch black hair, and light brown eyes. He stood at 176 cm in height and weighed around 60 kg. His was around 18 years old at this point. For his attire, he was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt, gray trousers, and a pair of black sneakers.

Before long, Rio discovered that the bright light dimmed up. He then lowered his arms and opened his eyes slowly. He soon viewed his vicinity and found himself standing on a plinth.

And he was not alone.

Rio looked at the boys and the girls around him. They looked around his age, maybe a year younger, and had the Japanese's characteristics with the addition of variation of hair color like brown, dark blue, and even red. Though Rio was in a situation that should make him panic, Rio didn't show the characteristics of a panicked person. He didn't even seem to be confused either.

If you pay attention to Rio's eyes closely, you will realize that Rio had a look full anticipation and excitement. It looks as if Rio knew where he was and what was going on. As a matter of fact, Rio knew very well where he was at this moment and what was going on around him.

"Ah, excuse me. Who are you?"

A sudden question directed to him grabbed Rio's attention. The voice of the speaker was male and young. Rio turned around and stared at the one who questioned him and saw a Japanese youth with an average appearance, light complexion, black hair, and brown eyes. The boy was actually shorter than Rio and was wearing a uniform consisting of a white shirt under a blue blazer and brown trousers.

Rio blinked his eyes, signifying his realization of a strange thing that just occurred. It was the boy—despite his Japanese characteristics, the boy was speaking in Rio's national language fluently. The boy, too, seemed to be surprised when he realized that he'd spoken in Rio's national language fluently and seemed to understand it.

Rio had a speculation in his mind and he was feeling confident with it. However, Rio soon recovered from his inner musings and answered the boy's question. He'd seen the boy waiting for his response with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity in his expression.

"Oh— Yeah— Sorry for spacing out. You can call me Rio. Anyhow, where is this place? Additionally, who are you?" Rio asked the Japanese boy before him. The moment he ended it, Rio realized that he'd spoken in Japanese fluently. He shrugged off the phenomenon without problems and waited for the boy's reply. He had an idea why he could speak Japanese so fluently like that, but it wasn't the time for pondering.

The boy quickly went through the Japanese courtesy and lowered his head slightly in greeting. After that, he introduced himself to Rio, "Ah, where's my manner. I apologize. My name is Hajime Nagumo. I am 17 years old and a stud—"

Before the boy, whose name was Hajime Nagumo, finished his introduction, Rio lost his self-control first, cutting off of Hajime's introduction. Rio burst out into a peal of boisterous laughter, grabbing everyone's attention. However, he wasn't in the correct state to mind it. Rio knew very well the young man standing before him. How was he not? The young man named Hajime Nagumo was the main character in the animated series titled Arifureta Sokugyou de Sekai Saikyo. It was adapted from a light novel with a similar title. Additionally, there was also the manga adaptation. Rio was a fan of this novel even before the official light novel publishing when it was still a webnovel translated into English by fans on the internet. He was still following the After Story webnovel update to boot. At least, he was waiting for the new chapter being translated before he got in the accident that resulted in his current situation.

Having realized that the fictional figure before him was real and alive, Rio finally believed that he was really resurrected in the fictional world of Arifureta Sokugyou de Sekai Saikyou—in the fantasy world of magic and sword called Tortus—by an old man claimed to be God after he died in an incident doe to God's fault. It was the standard stuff you could find in other 'Reincarnated/Transmigrated/Transported to Another World' trope.

"Kuhaha… Kuahahahahah! Shit! My stomach is hurt… Kuhah… Kuahahahah!" Rio kept laughing for a few seconds. He was too excited to control himself because his dream had become true.

It was when the curtain for the beginning of the commonplace story of Rio's adventure in the other worlds is raised. The beginning of the legend of a man who will become revered and feared not only in the scope of a single world but also in the other worlds too! The starting point of a man who will be revered as God and feared as Demon Lord!
