It started with a chill wind—and a strange feeling I couldn't quite explain.
I was standing on a hill just outside the city, where I often went to clear my head. One moment, I was watching the clouds roll by. The next, the sky shattered.
Not metaphorically—literally shattered. Like glass cracking under pressure. A blinding flash of golden light swallowed everything around me. I didn't even get the chance to scream.
And then... silence.
When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on the ground beneath a massive tree. Above, white clouds drifted slowly across a deep blue sky, and a soothing breeze stirred the grass around me, making it whisper like wind through chimes.
A strange peace washed over me, dulling the lingering panic. For a moment, I just blinked—trying to decide whether this was a dream, a hallucination, or something out of one of those isekai stories I'd devoured.
Then it hit me.
I sat up in a rush, eyes scanning my surroundings—and there it was. A whole new world stretched before me: unfamiliar terrain, wild forests in the distance, and air so clear it almost sparkled.
Yeah... this wasn't Earth.
I felt the fear rising—but I pushed it back. As a lifelong light novel reader, this situation wasn't exactly unfamiliar. I took a deep breath and, rather than panicking, calmly leaned back against the tree.
"So… I guess this is happening."
"Status..."
Just to be sure, he said it aloud. And exactly as he suspected, a translucent blue screen appeared in his field of vision.

'What the hell…'
Just seeing the words Infinite Inventory was enough to make his head spin.
He opened it—and immediately regretted it.
Inside, the numbers were surreal. Over 10 billion gold coins, an uncountable sea of silver and copper, and nearly 5 billion platinum coins, all steadily increasing in real-time before his eyes.
From the outside, it already looked insane. But once he mentally entered the inventory space, he was speechless.
Mountains of weapons, vaults of artifacts, scrolls glowing with dangerous energy, and class-change items rare enough to shake empires. And all of it is still growing—thanks to one thing:
Offerings.
As the chosen of the God of Wealth, Kaito received a direct 10% cut from all offerings given to the god by worshippers across galaxies, worlds, and dimensions.
Literal cosmic tithes flowed into his inventory every second.
And on top of that? He had access to 0.1% of the God's personal treasury, a privilege that let him hand-pick anything—yes, anything—from an endless vault of divine riches.
Right now, just the overflow from offerings alone included:
Thousands of forbidden spell scrolls.
Weapons with stats so broken they should be illegal.
Legendary class change Steles.
Potions that could turn a goat into a god
Kaito could only stare, his eyes wide and shimmering like polished platinum.
"...I'm going to need a spreadsheet."
"Really! This is totally broken."
Kaito Takumi muttered to himself, staring at the endless scrolls and treasures spilling from his inventory. He'd read about overpowered protagonists in isekai stories, but this was a whole different level of absurdity. Even he couldn't believe how ridiculous the situation had become.
It felt as though the God of Wealth was sending him an unmistakable message: "Take a break, relax, and enjoy the wealth. Do absolutely nothing."
And honestly? That wasn't the worst offer in the world.
Well, I did work hard back in my world. I guess I could just kick back and let things roll. Takumi sat there, contemplating the sheer luxury of it all. But how am I supposed to enjoy life here without a place to stay? He snapped his fingers. Wait, maybe the treasury has something for that...
As his mind wandered, the system screen blinked—an alert.
"No threats detected. Saint Protection Guard equipped. Proceed as you wish."
Takumi glanced at his wrist, where the Saint Protection Guard bracelet glimmered in the sunlight. It was a divine-tier item capable of withstanding nearly any attack in this world.
Okay, so I'm pretty much invincible. He smiled. Guess I can go wherever I want without worrying about getting killed by some wild beast.
But what to do? Traveling... He mulled over the thought. That could be a fun idea. Why not explore this place, take in the sights, and maybe have a thrilling ride through the forest? After all, most humans would never consider doing something so reckless, but Takumi was hardly most humans.
"Plus," he added, "I might as well get a class and start hunting. Might as well gain some skills while I'm at it."
An adventure in an isekai world without doing anything? Ridiculous. With the Saint Protection Guard protecting him, he felt like nothing could stop him.
The more he thought about it, the more Takumi liked the idea. Let's see what this world has to offer.
His eyes flicked back to the screen in front of him. He'd forgotten something important in all the excitement.
[Class Change Stele]
[Normal]
Class: Elemental Archer
Would Host like to use this Class Change Stele?
[Yes] / [No]
Takumi raised an eyebrow, considering the option. Elemental Archer? It sounded like a perfect class for roaming the forests and hunting. He clicked [Yes] without a second thought.
"Guess this is how my adventure begins," he muttered, already imagining himself drawing a bow and unleashing powerful elemental arrows on unsuspecting creatures.
He found the bicycle.
It was a sleek, top-tier mountain bike with shock-absorbing enchantments and auto-balance runes—but after pedaling awkwardly for five minutes and nearly crashing into a tree, Takumi sighed, gave up, and tossed it back into the inventory.
"Too much work," he muttered. "I'll walk."
Besides, the forest was beautiful. Towering trees filtered soft sunlight through their canopies; the air was fresh with a faint floral scent, and the temperature was just right—cool enough to be refreshing but not cold.
Before setting off, he browsed the inventory for some basic gear and found a Magician's Robe of Shielded Aether, a sleek, dark-blue robe that could withstand spells up to Tier 5 without a scratch—and completely nullify anything beneath that. It even auto-adjusted its size to fit.
Still uneasy about being low-level, Takumi decided to play it safe. He pulled out a Beginner Leveling Scroll, a consumable that could boost any level between 1 and 100, randomly.
"Eh, it can't hurt to try," he shrugged and tapped it.
A golden light flared—and then...
Ding! Level Up → 99
Takumi blinked. "...I guess I've got pretty good luck, huh."
After that, Takumi decided to equip himself with a longbow. He didn't pick the flashiest one—just something that seemed reasonable by his current broken standards.
The bow shimmered in his hand with a polished obsidian finish, its string glowing faintly with ethereal light. It felt light to the touch but buzzed with latent power.
"Yeah... This is still probably overkill."
Despite its rarity tag, it was categorized as low-tier rare, which, at his now absurd level, he figured he could get away with using. That said, it was still far more powerful than anything a typical adventurer at his "level range" should have.
He gave a mental command, and the system brought up its specs.

Takumi stared at the stats.
"…This is low-tier rare?"
With a bow like this, he could probably solo an army of mid-tier adventurers while sipping tea. Still, the more he explored, the more he realized this world didn't play fair. Having gear like this might look like overkill—but it also meant he wouldn't have to worry about anything short of a dragon ruining his day.
He slung the Ebon Gale Longbow over his back with a smirk.
"Alright. Let's take this baby for a walk."
The trees rustled ahead, and with the Saint Protection Guard on his wrist and the Magician's Robe wrapped snugly around him, Takumi stepped forward into the forest—bow in hand, absurd power on standby, and no real plan.
Just vibes.
