'Dammit it is this really all I could do? I'm supposed to be stronger than this and yet I can't do anything. I'm sorry Ha-kun.' A girl was seen with cuts all over her with two twin tailed wolves with white fur closing in on her. She was going to lose consciousness but just as she was going to faint two sounds rang out.

"Dopan..Dopan." 'Gunshots?' She was confused but didn't have time to think about it. The last thing she saw was the wolves' heads exploding and a blurry figure.

Let's turn back the time a little shall we.

Hajime had just got done eating and even though it took a while he was able to transmute a gun. It was a revolver with a simple revolver, nothing special he made out of the ore around him.

All of his skills grew at a fast pace. His transmutation skill underwent a change as well. It appeared that he had mastered it to the point where derivative skills began to pop up. The derivative skill he had learned from it was "Ore Appraisal." It was a high-level derivative skill that was rare even among royal blacksmiths.

Appraisal magic was generally far more complex than offensive magic, and therefore required suitably large magic circles to activate. For that reason, only certain academic facilities and large institutions had appraisal magic circles. However, people with appraisal skills could appraise anything within their domain of analysis with a small magic circle and simple incantation, as long as they were touching their target. It was a derivative skill, so it was by definition impossible to innately possess. Only through long years of transmutation training could one obtain the skill.

When he acquired it, Hajime made sure to appraise every single ore and mineral he could find. When he appraised the green glow stones, the following appeared on his status plate:Green glowstone: This ore can absorb mana. When it is saturated with mana, it emits a faint green light. If you break a saturated glowstone, the light it has contained within explodes out all at once in a brilliant flash.

An ore Hajime had found was one called blast rock. Using ore appraisal this ores information was as follows: Blastrock: A combustible ore. When exposed to fire, it burns like oil. As it burns, it slowly decreases in volume until it finally burns to cinders. Burning large quantities of blastrock in a confined space will make it explode violently. Depending on its quantity and pressure, it's possible to create flames as strong as those created by fire magic.

Using the blast rock Hajime was able to make bullets for his revolver. He had also used the green glow stone to make a type of flash bang.

"Haah finally done." He had finished transmuting everything he needed and was ready to leave his base to go look for food, until something started happening. His status plate that he had behind him since he was transmuting he placed it there. It suddenly started to flop around and released a bright light. Hajime covered his eyes as the light was blindly. Finally the light ended after 20 seconds. Hajime started to slowly walk over to his status plate he picked it up nothing seemed to happen.

"Hello there Hajime nagmou. Son of sumire nagmou and shuu nagmou."

"Wahh." Hajime, surprised jumped back, dropping the status plate. That's because a little girl had come out of the status plate. She had a neutral expression and looked to be at the age of 8. Hajime eyed her wearily till she finally spoke.

"Don't worry I am not here to hurt you Hajime Nagmou." The little girl had said. Trying to get Hajime to be relaxed.

"Who are you? How did you get in my status plate?" Hajime was still cautious. This little girl had just popped out of something that no one could mess with.

"My name is zero-23B or you can just call me zero for short." She answered giving her name.

"Okay, but that doesn't explain what you're doing here." Hajime was letting his guard down slightly but still ready to attack if she was hostile.

"Fine I shall tell you about myself then. Tell me Hajime nagmou how much do you know about gods?" She looked at him with the same expression waiting for his answer.

Setting change. Orcus labyrinth twentieth floor.

"I see it's still here. Does that mean the trap still works?" Kaede was looking at the glanz crystal that brought about that fateful day. If she was gonna find Hajime she needed to go back to that floor and luckily there was a fast trip. She had 3 weeks to train before the students had left back to the kingdom. She knew they would care for her existence; they were cowards after all afraid to look at her.

Kaede prepared herself breathing in and out and she finally grabbed the crystal. Just like she expected a magic circle appeared and she was transported back to the 65th floor. Everything happened the way it did on that day but Kaede wasn't here to kill the monsters even if she wanted to tear it limb for limb slowly she was not strong enough to take them all by herself.

She remembers the way the behemoth had fought last time and knew what she needed to do. She first angered it with some shockwave blasts from her gauntlets. They were a little bit stronger than her previous shockwave blasts, not enough to kill or even injure the behemoth but enough to get it pissed off. The behemoth roared in anger and its horn started to become red.

The behemoth jumped up into the air, its horn directly aimed at kaede. It then proceeded to kick off the ceiling heading straight down towards the middle of the bridge.

"Now!!" Kaede had shouted and jumped as far as she could. Just like she predicted the behemoth slammed hard into the bridge breaking through and headed straight down. The behemoth roared as it fell down somewhere. Kaede proceeded to run closer and there it was she remembered 'Hajime got hit by that water stream so if I jump into it will it bring me to him?' Kaede's thoughts were cut off when the traum soldiers were coming.

"I won't find him if I stay like this forever!" Kaede, though scared, decided to jump anyway. 'Even if you aren't alive I won't let you stay in this shitty world Ha-kun!' She fell down into the stream and went into the abyss.

"What do you mean what do I know isn't that why I'm in this world because of that shitty god? Hajime said becoming more hostile towards the little girl.

"That fool is no god. He is merely a child pretending he's one." She answered harshly as if calling this worlds "god" was an offense to her.

"So what the hell are you talking about?" Hajime was a little bit stunned by her outburst but still continued the conversation as if she didn't have an outburst ignoring the tension.

"You do have a god in your world don't you? Though he's dead now isn't he?" Hajime thought that there were multiple gods but he could only think of one of course he was the father of Jesus Christ.

"Your god has existed though a lot of people doubt his existence which is correct after all he isn't alive anymore and can't watch over your world." The little girl then began to explain the history of the gods. It had all started at the creation of the universe tree. The universe tree had suddenly sprouted into existence expanding infinitely. Along with the universe tree came 14 people or as the worlds would know them as Gods.

These gods had the power to oversee all the worlds and had the power to rule over and protect most of these worlds. The strongest god was able to oversee 50 billion worlds at once. The god that the people on earth knew was the 7th strongest but was also very brilliant when it came to souls. These gods ruled for 3.4 billion years, but the strongest god had an idea 'What if we give a mortal a blessing what'll they do?' His curiosity had come at a price though. He had convinced the other gods to give their blessings to a man, this man came from a world where everything bad that could happen, happened. The man endured a life of hardship. His parents were killed, his wife raped and killed, sons sold off into slavery, his hometown burned down, he was captured and tortured by some bandits.

The gods had decided that this man had endured enough and gave him very powerful blessings unaware of what the consequences of their actions would cause. The man tired of the torture killed everything and everyone. The man who had raped and killed his wife turned out to a noble, as revenge he tied up the man tortured him for days, raped his wife and daughter while torturing them in front of him. He finally killed the wife and daughter and kept torturing the man. Using one the blessings he kept the man with him as he kept him in an endless hell of pain as he made the man watch as he slowly destroyed the world they lived in. Everyday he got more and more proficient in using the blessings. ( I'm making this needlessly dark but it doesn't really matter. Edgelords this is for you.)

The gods were careless at this time; they simply gave the blessing and waited to see what the man would do. When they checked back the world had passed 500 years. The gods didn't have a solid grasp of mortal time, 50 years to them was like 2 days for mortals. They were horrified at the man's deeds but they couldn't do anything as it had already happened. But the man had noticed something, someone was watching him. He looked straight into the strongest god's eyes.

"I see you." He said in a raspy tone of voice. The man had become very powerful and he had created something. This something was a sword it was very dark, no calling it dark was an underestimation. It was like a black hole it sucked up the light everywhere. The realm the gods were in was breached, they panicked even though they were gods and powerful this was something they've never thought of. The sword had started to vibrate and it started sucking the light of the realm the gods were in.

"Quickly stop him!!!" The strongest god had said and the gods began their fight against the man. They had managed to succeed but not without loss. The realm of the gods had its light completely taken away left only in darkness. It fitted the mood and the gods' minds at that time. Out of the 14 gods born 7 had died in battle including the strongest god. Everyone's spirits were at an all time low; they didn't know what to do. Years passed by the worlds the gods had protected and gave out miracle's to such as rain or a better harvest season had started being resentful to those gods. Finally the nature goddess couldn't endure it anymore and came up with a plan with the soul god or the god of earth, and the god of time. The nature goddess had used all of her power to plant trees called world trees that connected all of the worlds, while the god of souls created a reincarnation cycle that would reincarnate the souls of the dead and cleanse them while sending them to another world. The time god made sure the timeline would never be tampered with and made sure the reincarnation cycle ran smoothly.

The other 4 gods didn't know about this but when they figured it out it was too late. The other 3 gods had given up their life to do what they did, leaving only the goddess of healing, god of wisdom, goddess of strength, and god of magic. They simply stayed in the darkness of their realm living for the sake of nothing. The world trees granted protection to the worlds and the reincarnation cycle made sure every soul was cleansed. Finally 4.5 billion years had passed since the birth of the gods and the healing goddess had found something out, they were dying. Perhaps because they had stayed in this mysterious darkness for too long it had done something to them. The healing goddess had summoned the others about this revelation.

"Isn't it fine then? We failed. Do we even deserve to live?" The magic god had said this, after all his lover, the goddess of war had died that day. He didn't want to live anymore back then and he didn't want to live even now. The other gods were shocked but similarly accepted their fate like the god of magic. The healing goddess was crushed, she was always the optimistic one of the gods and was always very happy her golden hair had turned gray her shiny blue eyes had also turned gray. She didn't know what to do but wait for her coming doom.

"If we are all dead then who'll be able to stop a person that could possibly emerge like the one we gave blessings to?" The gods had of course said no one will ever exist like that but she showed them a world where it was so advanced they were making weapons from the energy being created by the world tree. "So what do you propose we do?" The god of wisdom and said. The goddess of healing of course said to give their respective blessings to someone,but they had to be pure of heart.

Their death had been prolonged by the god of wisdom and healing as they made a medicine that could slow down the process. They waited and waited till they could find someone. The god of wisdom had proposed to give it to one of the avatars of a world tree but the goddess of healing refused" it needs to be a human or mortal." She had said. They waited and waited until they decided to give their blessings to a boy " They chose you." Zero had finished her story with that.

"……" Hajime had stayed silent. He didn't expect there to be such a deep backstory nor did he expect he'd be chosen. Finally he spoke.

"Hey just so you know I had just forsaken everything with a desire to live and kill whatever was in my way, how can I be called "good of heart." Hajime had stated. Zero looked troubled and just said"'my creator didn't trust you either but he went along with it due to the healing goddess."

"So how do these blessings work?" Hajime asked the important question since it didn't seem like he would get out of this.

"You need to activate them via your status plate though it seems the goddess of strength already activated a major part of hers.." Zero gave her answer returning back to her natural expression

"Huh? What do you mean? Hajime tilted his head at zero.

"Have you not noticed? Surely you must've seen your appearance by now." Hajime of course knew his hair had been pure white but he hadn't had a chance to see his reflection since he went to ransmusting immediately. He walked over to the divine rock and looked into a puddle.

"Who's this!!" Hajime had looked in the reflection only to see a handsome boy with white hair and red eyes. Even though Hajime knew it was him he couldn't comprehend it. After all, at best Hajime was an average looking Japanese boy you can find just about anywhere, his white hair and red eyes surprised him least compared to the handsome face. Although he couldn't be called handsome like kouki was considered handsome with a gentle and kind appearance. His handsomeness was like the delinquent capture target in an otome game.

"This is one of the perks the strength goddess gave you. The strength goddess's blessing works by enhancing everything of your capabilities and traits. Strength, speed, appearance etc. hahh like her master said she's a muscle head." She sighed perhaps this was a trait inherited from her master.

"Wait so I can activate them and I will get the information about it?"

"Yes once you activate it the blessings information and how to use such blessings will pop on your status plate." Zero answered. Hajime went into deep thought and waited for a few minutes until he finally spoke up.

"Do I have to activate it right now?" Hajime asked zero.

"……Well you don't but may I ask why you don't?" Zero had found it weird that Hajime didn't immediately succumb to using this newfound power, like other man did so she asked the answer she got was unexpected.

" I want to also deactivate the strength goddess part as well. You see there's something I need to kill before I can move on." Hajime had thought back to the claw bear; it wasn't like he was dying for revenge but his heart couldn't move on till he killed it.

"……" zero stayed silent. Couldn't this boy kill the bear much easier if he simply used the blessings? She couldn't process it when Hajime explained it.

"I wanna kill that bastard with my own power. I don't wanna borrow any from your gods at least for right now I wanna make sure I kill him with my own hands." Hajime made a grin that was vicious and intimidating.

"…… I see." Maybe she had an inkling of why the goddess of healing chose this boy.

"Very well I shall add an option for that right now." On the status plate a activate and deactivate appeared Hajime without hesitation pressed deactivate and immodest felt strength leaving his body.

"That's a weird feeling. oooh." Hajime felt slightly dizzy but regained his balance. He checked his status plate and as it said the strength stat other stats had decreased as well it looked like this.

"Hey wait, why do I still look like this?" Hajime still looked the same as when the strength goddess blessing was active. Zero didn't give an answer though.

"It appears my time is up Hajime nagmou." Zero suddenly said this and her body began to fade. "Listen here Hajime nagmou, I may not fully trust you and I won't tell you to do righteousness with these newfound powers but please don't misuse it."

"Hmm you're leaving, well hurry up then." Even though zero had been creating a solemn atmosphere Hajime ignored it and even told her to leave. Zero was shocked he could say this to such a cute girl even if he knew her backstory.

"Fine then I'll guess I'll leave." Even though she said leave she knew this was the end of her life. Her master created her to die when died and only gave her enough time to explain the blessings towards whoever they chose. Zero's body was almost gone but she heard one final line from Hajime.

"I won't promise anything but I at least won't go killing random civilians at least kill them using your powers." He gave one final sentence towards the fading zero, she heard the words and smiled before disappearing. 'Hahhhh , was I born under some weird star? Why do weird things always happen to me?" Hajime grumbled and resumed his transmutation. From there on he met the kick master rabbit and killed it instantly with Donner his Newly named revolver.

He also gained the skills from the rabbit and spent time training these skills and his marksmanship till the day came. He found the claw bear and the fight started. The winner was of course Hajime the fight had finally made room in his heart and than he realized his true desires

"That's right, I just want to go home." Ever since he came to this world he thought of his mom and dad and all the fantasy world things they'd be excited about. With a resolve forged in hell Hajime swore he'd kill whoever got in his way, god, demon, human, it didn't matter

He smiled a fearless smile with his Canine teeth bared

"They will die by these hands."

Hajime went back to his base. He needed to see what these blessings were. He took out his status plate and looked and pressed activate. The moment he did he was assaulted by very sudden dizziness. It was very long compared to the time when he deactivated the strength goddesses' blessing. But it finally diminished and he could feel changes immediately mainly in his knowledge of things he didn't know about magic he knew for some reason and he could see mana? He couldn't explain it but then he felt something happening to his left stump.

"Wah!?" His left arm had suddenly started healing slowly but surely his arm had started healing back finally resuming its former position. Hajime's eyes were wide open; he was able to move it and it felt like it was never gone. Hajime quickly surmised this must've been a part of the goddess of healing blessing.

He looked at the Status plate and looked at the description of each.

The god of magics blessing: "Listen here mortal you may not be able to use elemental magic and I can't grant you the ability but I can teach you a way to use your mana other than body strengthening. I'm surprised you mortals do not understand or have never thought of doing this but the knowledge of using this type of magic shall immediately go into your brain the moment you press activate. I also gave you the ability to see the flow of mana and the core of magic. Just think of not seeing mana and you should be able to turn it off. It would be very inconvenient if you spent your whole life like that. Well that's it for me mortal… Waittttttt I forgot to say there's something you mortals use to bend the things that shape your reality. You should be able to use these magics very proficiently though you won't be able to master it immediately your progress would be much faster than the average human. Well that's all mortal do whatever you wish I can't stop you even if I tried."

"….." Hajime looked on in silence. The way the magic god said to use mana was simply terrifying to anyone on the receiving end. Unlike body strengthening magic that uses magic to harden your body, this technique involves you releasing your mana like a beam or string. Basically just using mana and not having any elemental attributes Hajime was able to use his mana to fire a beam of concentrated mana at someone or something. 'Isn't this like drag*n B*ll.' Surely the beams were like that, maybe. Hajime held a finger out and followed what the knowledge in his mind showed him and concentrated his man at the tip of his finger. Succeeding Hajime fired the beam. It penetrated through three walls very easily. "…." Hajime couldn't wait to train this ability, so he decided to wait and check out the other blessings. It took a lot will power to do so, after all even after all this Hajime was still an otaku, the thought of him firing off a kameh*ha excited him to his very core.

The goddess of strength blessing: "Alright you hear this now mortal. Strength could mean many things: strength of heart, of spirit, but I prefer good old fashioned guts!!! Listen mortal your heart maybe strong but your arms sure aren't!!!! I shall give you my blessing and enhance all of your useless traits. Muscles are useless mortal do not think simple muscles will make you strong!!!!! I knew a guy like that once he was slow as fuck!!!! The two greatest enhancements you will get will be strength and speed!!!! Strength is nothing without speed and speed is nothing without strength!!!! Muscles in your body take up way too much speed from you and require more oxygen!!!! That's all mortal remember my teachings and become the strongest!!!!! Though you'll never be stronger than me!!!"

"……." Hajime was silent for a different reason compared to the magic god's blessing. 'I see so this is what zero had meant by a muscle head though she appears to hate muscles.' Her blessing was really simple, nothing too drastic or big, just enhancements on his stats and other inherent traits like hearing, Vision, and other stuff. Hajime quickly moved on to the other blessing

The god of wisdom blessing:" Hello mortal. I'm pretty sure the other two have said the exact same thing so I'll do the same as well. My blessing is very simple, the moment you've activated my blessing I've implemented something in your brain. It's a book of knowledge. Look at this book when you need to learn about something. The other part of my blessing is something like the muscle heads blessing. She can't do this since it involves the mind and she doesn't think. This second part enhances your mind's processing speed, basically you can think faster, process events faster and think of solutions faster and it keeps you calm and collected in most situations even in your daily life. It's really simple and helps you in dire situations if you ever get into any. That's all mortal."

"I see this really is simple." Hajime had done exactly what he had said and thought of something.' How do you build a house?' Instructions and ways to actually build a house came to hajimes mind including all the materials he'll need. "This is incredibly useful though it may not be great to rely on most of the time." It could make a human useless so Hajime decided to use it in moderation. The other ability was simple, Hajime was able to think faster and that was it. Now the final blessing and the one that he healed his arm with just as he suspected.

The goddess of healing blessing: Hello chosen one. I assume you're reading mine last because I asked the god of wisdom to make sure mine didn't appear until you've read the others. As my title says, mine grants the ability of healing, though sadly you do not possess the magic to heal others. So I gave you the ability of self healing. Be careful though, your healing may be able to save you even if you were chopped up into tiny pieces. If your brain were to explode before the blessing can heal you, you will die. It works in a weird way but as long as someone can't blow up your brian than you should be fine. Actually I did give you another part, if you touch someone you can soothe their soul. You can do it simply by thinking of the person you're trying to soothe. Well chosen one that's all. I know I have no right to say this since we forced this on you but please, please!! Don't you use your powers to make other people suffer or at least innocent people suffer.

"……" Hajime stayed silent, examining the abilities he got from the healing goddess. Basically he can heal from anything as long as his brain was the first body part to be destroyed. Soothe a soul by touching them hmm it could be useful. Then Hajime got to the end and stayed silent for a few minutes. Then he snorted.

"Hahh like I care what you say I'll do what I want. I'll go home and that's that." Hajime felt like he was acting standoffish but he didn't care and said that weirdly enough he felt like he could feel someone's gaze on him smiling at him gently. Hajime looked at his stats and saw that they were much higher now it went as follows

A few hours have passed and Hajime who finished training was getting ready to go and look for a way out of the abyss but he heard two twin tailed wolves and he felt a heartbeat of a Human he decided to go check it out. He pulled out donner and walked over only to see

'Kaede?' Why was she here? Hajime thought. Throughout his time in this hell he had never thought once about her. But now she was here Hajime quickly decided to help and shot the twin tailed wolves and swiftly moved over to kaede. It appeared she had fainted due to her wounds; she was still alive so Hajime had transmuted a hole for them to be in and carried Kaede there and gave her some ambrosia.

'How did she get here?' Hajime waited beside her until she woke up
