Baby steps

The sun was shining, birds were chirping, and you were opening your eyes for the first time in your new life. Looking around...

The room you were in was small, but comfortable. Getting up from the soft bed you'd been lying in, you found that you were in...

Strangely modern pajamas. Huh, this must've been one of those anachronistic fantasy worlds where, despite looking somewhat medieval, there were still plenty of modern amenities.

Like all those manga/anime where the girls had modern bras and underwear.

Thanks, Konosuba.


Hopefully flushing toilets and running water were part of those 'modern amenities' included in this world...

Looking out of the window in your room, you could see...

Holy cow! Whatever building you were in, it was right on a busy street- you could see all sorts of people- from all kinds of fantasy races- milling about and going about their business outside! You could see a few stalls, the entrance of what looked like a larger open-air market, and countless building after building in that recognizable 'fantasy/isekai anime style!'

You must've been in a big city.

That was... probably for the best.

For all you knew, you could've been dumped buck-naked into a cave somewhere to start.

No thank you. You were looking to have fun and go on romance-filled (and hopefully plenty of 'lucky pervert' moment) filled adventures.

As cliche as they were, you were looking for an adventure/world more along the lines of 'I was reincarnated at level one but (insert cliche phrase here).

You definitely didn't want a new life set in a world closer to Grimgar (or god forbid, Berserk.)

Looking around your room...

'Hmm... must be some an inn.' A quick check through the window of your room confirmed your thoughts.

The Waystone Inn

Huh. Nice name. Catchy.

Well... All things considered, this was a pretty good way to start your new life! You couldn't wait- what came first? Getting experience? Leveling up? Finding some sweet loot?

Or maybe...

Flirting with the receptionist at the Adventurer's Guild? Because the main character always meets a babe there.

Or maybe... saving a princess from a gang of thugs? Ingratiating yourself to a very hot (and very busty) noblewoman?

Getting into a sparring match with a buxom warrior and accidentally fall into her chest?

Heh heh...

Off in your own world, you almost forgot something important.

Namely, to check your room for what belongings you had with you.

'Uh... let's see...' Having snapped back to reality, you checked the room for your possessions.

You came up with a small pack- smaller than a backpack, but larger than a fanny pack. Inside were some different-colored vials of liquid.

Potions, your mind filled in. Automatic knowledge of the world told you they were from a standard beginner adventurer's kit. A mixture of basic health potions, along with some general-purpose antidotes and mana replenishers.

Beyond that...

1) You find a some basic armor- gauntlets, shin guards, and a cuirass all made from a mixture of leather and iron, as well as a sturdy but plain longsword. (swordsman class)
2) You find a large, hooded robe. Thick and surprisingly comfortable, as well as a sturdy wooden staff. (apprentice class)
3) You find a basic set of leather armor, a bow with a quiver full of arrows, and a small but sharp dagger.
