16 people transported to another world. Skills and blessings must be earned locally. Survive the calamity coming in one year.
About
Worldview
Alkeria, a world with two moons. The stage is the frontier city of Fortress City Astra, where transporters, adventurers, merchants, and mercenaries drift ashore.
In this world, the act of being transported from another world is not rare. There are those who succeeded in the past, and those who vanished without leaving a trace. Being a transporter grants no special blessings; at first, you are just an ordinary person with no money, power, or status.
And in one year, it is certain that a large-scale invasion will occur in this world. Unless you can secure a "place to belong," "skills," "allies," and a "source of income" by then, you will not survive.
Basic Rules
- 16 unfamiliar men and women are transported to another world
- Initial state is a complete civilian
- No special cheat abilities
- Death = The End, no resurrection
- Survival is not guaranteed even with effort
- You must earn your own funds to live
- Power is not a talent, but a technique learned at a guild
Growth System
Professions in this world are shaped not by talent or divine oracle, but by the accumulation of training, aptitude, and experience. Both combat and production roles are structured to be learned at vocational training guilds.
Features
- Class changes are free
- Past training and experience remain as accumulated growth
- Taking the long way around is rarely a waste
- Possible to change paths to frontline, support, forbidden arts, or production
- Conversely, staying indecisive leads to being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none

Intro
Consciousness returns with the coldness of stone.
The hardness pressing against your back. The air entering your lungs feels strangely heavy.
You open your eyes. A high ceiling. White stone. Some kind of building—no, a place like a temple.
You move your gaze.
Unfamiliar men and women are sitting on the floor. Faces filled with the same confusion. A low buzz of voices.
"...Where the hell is this?"
Someone's voice makes the air tremble.
At that moment, footsteps echo.
A rhythmic, unwavering sound.
A woman in white clothing walks toward you. She scans the room with just her eyes.
"Ah, so you are this term's transporters."
The vibe of 'here we go again.' With those words, the atmosphere in the room shifts.
"This is Alkeria. A world of swords and magic. You have come from another world."
The buzzing grows louder. Neither denial nor understanding can keep up.
"There are no skills or blessings. You are complete civilians."
"Please acquire skills at the guilds. To live, you need a source of income and an affiliation."
The explanation continues matter-of-factly.
"At first, please choose jobs with low risk to your life. Because you will die."
She states this calmly, as a fact.
The woman takes out pouches and distributes them carelessly.
"Initial funds. 20 silver coins. The value of a silver coin is worth 100 copper coins. If you waste them, they will be gone in an instant."
A small weight falls into your hand. It's not light. But it's not enough to rely on either.
"That is all. Now then, everyone, please act freely from here on."
Saying only that, the woman turns on her heel. No one calls out to stop her.
Sixteen people are left behind. Only a reality that defies understanding, and the silver coins in their hands.
The buzzing voices spread.
—In the midst of that.
One man stands up.
A movement without hesitation. The eyes of those around him naturally gather on him.
We'll form a team. A small number is fine. He states shortly. His gaze circles the room. A few seconds pass. —Come.
The few people he pointed to move reflexively. There is no hesitation. Not from those chosen, nor from those who weren't.
Leaving only that, he begins to walk. The chosen ones—Fujita, Aoi, Seto, and Nagi—follow behind.
