Chapter 1 – Goodbye Peaceful World

At first, it was a small incident.

A big shake reminiscent of an earthquake occurs.

“Oh, is it an earthquake?”

Saying that Hideto Tsukishiro turned on the TV.

Tsukishiro is a 24-year-old programmer living in Suginami, Tokyo. He has black hair and bangs flowing from left to right, and he has a well-built face. He has a medium-sized physique and a average height of 170 cm (~66 inches).

Today, he was enjoying his first Sunday holiday in a room in his condominium. The TV showed the earthquake had a seismic intensity of 5.

“It’s pretty big, is it safe?”

Tsukishiro was so laid back. When he touched his smartphone on the bed, it makes a roaring sound and a tremendous shaking occurs again.

At the same time as the roar, the power of the TV and all the lights in the room are turned off.

“Oh, really! Isn’t this pretty bad?”

With that said, he opens the curtain and looks out.

There was a landscape beyond the imagination of Hideto. The ground was torn in two. The crack is so deep that the bottom cannot be seen from here.

“Chee!”

A woman’s scream can be heard from a distance. The horns of cars echo from all over. Smoke was rising from various places. And various buildings have been pierced by huge trees. It’s as if they were forced to grow rapidly.

Seeing the situation, Hideto felt cold sweat on his back.

To figure out the current situation, he opened Twitter.

Earthquakes, power outages, etc. were on trending there. However, there was one word that stood out in that trend.

Goblins.

Goblins were on trending for some reason.

“There was something green in front of my house! Yabakune⁉︎”

Along with the post, there was an image of a goblin that I couldn’t believe was made by an amateur.

In the comment section: “Unscrupulous!” “Don’t make strange images and play at such times!”

The poster was on fire with a flood of comments.

However, after that, many goblin sightings were posted on Twitter one after another.

I was also attacked by a demon-like object. Various information was confusing, such as finding a dead person who was attacked by a ghost.

“What’s going on …? Is the goblin real? Oh!? The internet isn’t connected!”

Suddenly, the words “outside the service area” are displayed on Hideto’s smartphone. Apparently, his cell phone is no longer connected.

Hideto panicked. He was relieved by the fact that he could get in touch with others online at first but now that is gone.

Then, suddenly, a mechanical sound is played in Hideto’s brain.

“Your skill is [Creation]. Don’t forget your skill is the creation of all things. Have a good life”

An announcement like a mechanical sound that suddenly flows into his brain. And the word [Creation] is displayed large in his brain. The letter stayed in his brain for about a minute.

There was no explanation other than this sentence, and no announcement was broadcast in his brain after that.

Hideto couldn’t keep up with the mysterious phenomena that happened in quick succession.

However, as mentioned in the announcement, his skill [Creation] was firmly burned into his head.

Hideto was surprised, but couldn’t hide his excitement towards the mysterious power. Maybe this is what God gave to him to save the world? He even thought.

“What is skill …? Will you be able to do something? Is there any explanation?”

Hideto gains the ability to create something from the name and holds his hand over the remote control.

“Get out! Remote control!”

There was no reaction. Only his sad voice echoed. Perhaps it was produced by his hand, but there is no sign that a remote control will come out at all.

He imagines a gun in his brain, but there is no sign that a gun will come out.

“Is this a skill that is out of place …? No, it may be difficult for complicated things yet.”

With that in mind, he searched for something that was natural rather than something that was made by human hands.

It’s ice.

While looking at the ice left in the refrigerator that was turned off, he put effort into producing ice from his hands.

After a while, a small piece of ice was born from his hand.

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

Hideto was surprised and couldn’t hide his joy. When he concentrates, another piece of ice is born from his hands.

He felt the consumption of physical strength as ice is produced, he probably can’t overuse the ability.

“But it’s hard to beat even a goblin with this. No, the goblins aren’t always hostile yet …”

Hideto checked the contents of the refrigerator, but there weren’t even a few days of food left.

“After all … I don’t usually cook.”

Hideto was wondering if he should go out for food. At this rate, his food will expire in a few days. However, there is no outside information, and there may be goblins and other monsters outside.

But food will be gone if he doesn’t collect it while everyone is still panicking.

“……Shall we go”

Hideto decided to go to a nearby supermarket with a large backpack and wallet. He plans to buy something that can be stored at room temperature.

While worried, Hideto picked up a knife.

Hideto opened the door of the apartment and headed for the stairs, where he met goblins.

“I !?”

Hideto immediately closed the door and locked it. He can hear the goblins running from the outside. And the door began to be hit by the goblins.

“It’s real … I thought this was a real thing, but this world is …”

Hideto swallowed his words that the world was over.

Hideto grabs the knife and opens the door. He stabbed a knife into a goblin that was blown off the door. The goblins screamed a little and then beat Hideto.

“It hurts!”

However, its strength was a little weaker than that of an adult man, and Hideto felt that he could manage and stabbed a knife in its head again.

“Gugii”

When he hears the goblin’s desperate voice, he feels relieved and sits down.

Then suddenly his body gets hot and he feels a sensation of strength all over his body.

“What is this feeling !? Level up?”

Hideto said with a laugh, but began to think that it might be possible. When he made ice again, the ice was bigger than before.

“Hunting monsters like an RPG?”

When Hideto, who felt uncomfortable when he stabbed his head, observed the goblin’s corpse, he found a small red jewel-like object, “Magic Stone.”

“What is this drop item?”

Hideto put the pebble in his bag and headed to a nearby supermarket.
