Character[]
Haruka, a 16 yrs old and high school boy who has no friends in his class and is reading a book by himself during break, One day a magic circle appeared out of nowhere in his classroom. Haruka figured it was most likely to summon people to another world like the fiction stories he often read about. He tried, unsuccessfully to escape, but ended up in a white room all alone and summoned to another world with his classmates.
He rolls the dice appropriately, rolls out "Point MAX", pretends to be "luck" status, and gets great luck. Because old man claiming to be God gave the first-come-first-served skill, Haruka, who was summoned to another place, could not choose a remarkable skill (item, martial arts, magic, skill, title, Unknown), and finally All the delicate things are pressed against.
Explanation | Haruka is a surname. He has black eyes, black hair, and black clothes, and has a bad eye. He is called a "black-haired warrior" and "disaster" by foreigners. He was isolated from herself in class because he didn't try to keep others away from herself (although the otaku group was talking without reading the air). He hates her name and he doesn't let others call her. He has always liked books and he used to read them during school breaks. He was pretty fast reading, and he seemed to read everything in her genre. He was good at dancing and fighting games at arcades (he was somehow watching it by the chairman next to her, he was watching it further away from the library committee). He doesn't like natto. He eats a lot, but he actually hates mushrooms. He is fixed unemployed due to title restrictions and he cannot take up combat or production positions, but he is not subject to occupational ability restrictions. In combat, he is good at super close combat with cane art and Chinese martial arts, but he is also good at long-range magic. It seems that her skills have made it possible to always remember the knowledge gained in her past, and he will become an in-house worker who researches, develops and produces various things based on her knowledge. There are several reasons why it is difficult to raise Lv. Effect of "poor dexterity": Increase in Lv is slow (great effect. The required experience value for Lv increase is an order of magnitude higher), Effect of "Kiyo no Bo": Increase in Lv It gets worse, and some equipment also sucks experience points. He is not good at fighting while defending her allies because the power of the technique he uses when fighting a strong enemy is generally too strong & wide range. Due to the restrictions on his title, it is not possible to form a normal party (the friends and beasts who used it are not treated as party members), but there seem to be no particular restrictions on what they can do together. According to the guild, "If you stand up, it's a disaster, if you sit down, it's hell, and if you walk, it's a big nuisance." The backbone suggested by #673 was finally revealed in #1511. Although the mother and sister were rescued while suffering a big burn in the fire, they lost their father, and because they helped the sister and the children who were with her from the runaway car, he suffered a serious injury to her whole body and her mother died. In an attempt to protect the younger sister who protected the girls, the criminal stabbed her whole body and collapsed, and in the end, he could not protect herself. |

Natural enemies, kingdom benefactors, etc. |
Authority, etc. | When I first came to the guild, I couldn't register as an adventurer because it was Lv9, but I didn't register because I hated Angelica and others being treated as servants even if I exceeded Lv30. He has been granted a permit, tax exemption, free mining rights, etc. by the frontier lord Marcher Lord. The king of the kingdom, Dialsez, has given him the right to issue free currency and the right to diplomatic relations with the empire. He is believed to have received free passage permits and absolute obedience oaths from other eastern countries. It also has huge debts to eastern countries, which are several times the national budget (it seems difficult to monetize). He has invested in many workshops, trade associations, farms, ranches, municipalities, etc. in remote areas and throughout the eastern countries. |
The God eventually appeared, explaining to Haruka that all his classmates have picked their summon bonuses and went to the Other World, and Haruka is the only straggler. Haruka looked through the list of remaining skills, most of which look outright pitiful, and gave god an earful. God was embarrassed at first, but eventually snapped and gave Haruka every single left-over bonuses, including ones that have major drawbacks.
Haruka landed in a forest all alone. With the kitchen sink of summon bonuses, Haruka maxed out his luck to be "Above Limit", and experimented with various ways to utilize his skills and items to survive. He found a cave and remodeled it to be his home, and eventually ran across various classmates who had split up, unintentionally placing under Mean Girls under Servitude in the process. After saving the girls, he helped them train and together found their way out of the forest.
Haruka, who couldn't make a party with anyone because of the effect of one of her titles, "Bocchi". However, due to the influence of the title "Bocchi" given by God, it becomes impossible to form a party, and the titles of "Nito" and "Hikikomori" are also acquired. He seems to want to live an elegant and stable "botchi" life.

Although she remembers the faces of her classmates gain, she does not remember their names at all and calls them by their nicknames.
