Interesting but what the fuck

I also agree with the mc
He still doesn't know any offensive magic so going to a dungeon is a suicide

MC basically went "fuck this shit I'm out"

okay i know that what the mc did is one of the logical and rational thing to do but... Can i just say something....
WHAT A PUSSSYY XD

interesting

A great start, I think the author has a knack for storytelling instead of merely copying the other trash out there.

Rook is interesting choice of name, basically the pieces furthest out in the corner whereas the bishop are the closest to the king & queen.

🧐

oh man, if you were so scared at first..
then why not go into another class/job

go for MERCHANT or something..


I know what his doing is look like a smart move for some beta-reader perspective.
but it was also stupid and wasted his current build.

he makes his attributes and stats to all-rounded, adding and raising combat skill such as SPEARS and hand-to-hand COMBAT.
also magic.

But he give up on building his mental development.

What a fucking let down on character..
well your typical JAPANESE MC.

Tempered from Beta Male who will have NOSE BLEED by seeing a fucking panties and PASS-OUT seeing a Fucking Boobs

no wonder Japanese Manga is full of downgrade this couples years.

"I don't want to die, therefore: If I don't have enough information about potential dangers, then I'll go back and gather more information."

I like this kid already.

Haha fools make friends, I guess that's true in Isekai worlds as well.

That party he abandoned is really really lucky.

lol, defeated by multiple choice pathways, it's not like it's some deadly labyrinth, at least try to find one single monster to try out your power level before you decide to leave.

@Ashisu he didn't have enough money for lightball, no?

Dude should have picked Sky Dragon Eyes, even if they had eaten all of the available skill points. It might have led to an exceedingly rough start, but on the other hand, if he had survived the start, they would have probably been astronomically useful. They can't cost full 100 SPs for nothing. Who knows, maybe they would have allowed bending the weak-minded into his service. Furthermore, dragon eyes should bring a degree of dragon lineage with them, free of charge! How else would one possess them? I guess as grafts, but that would be an extremely strange starting condition.

@blamo He knows how to fight. Not only was he attending dojo back in Japan, but he also has fighting related skills/abilities. What use would they be if they didn't exist? In fact we know the abilities do exist in general after this chapter (he has Light Element at lvl 2 and even the shopkeeper noticed he had affinity to the appropriate spell book). So, the combat skills ought to be there as well, injected into his new brain. That being said, I'm not going to call him a coward because of this. He already showed he has some backbone by rejecting the preprogramming and not following the others to the default location. Now, he shouldn't go into the dungeon if he doesn't yet feel like it. There's nothing wrong about getting used to the world first. After all, he's literally born yesterday.

2nd chapter and he's already got the Tinder app in his spellbook. I can see where this story is going to go.

@somane44 - No, it's Rook. Besides the religious/healer reference, a Bishop is a chess piece, and so is a Rook. He's theme naming ... and expecting that none of his former companions know chess apparently.

@yusfa09
The walls were thin so the whole bar overheard him yelling about "The fiery birth of the great sorcerer Rook" so they're just fucking around with the kid

LOL he bitched out

how was he planning to clear the dungeon tho? he has no spear and his cheap ass didn't buy lightball, was he gonna hit monsters with his staff www

Mmm, a rare isekai that actually feels pretty believable. I really like how the author pays attention to the small stuff.

@yusfa09

I think they heard him shout that he is a great adventurer and were probably light heartedly mocking him since he is a kid.

Wait.. wtf, I don't understand it at all, why people at the tavern called him master rook and offer him a beer? What did he do? Did they forgot to put another pages?

Nice job.... asking an old man a question while he's lifting 2 bags of rice.

Should of went with the name Elon Musk since the world is called Tesla.
