Benjamin Taklaw, a Filipino high school student who dreams of being a bus driver like his father, got killed by Truck-kun. He thought his life would be over, and his soul would be in the afterlife.
  But, he was given another chance to live his again, this time, as a bus driver in…a fantasy world? He literally woke up on a bus in another world as a young bus driver. Grasping on that opportunity, he, as a 16-year-old boy and bus driver named Russell May, is now living his new life in a new strange world, filled with monsters and magic. 
  Along the way, he took in a snow village girl named Azalea, a low-ranked adventurer named Adrian Paulton, who was betrayed by his hero party in a dungeon, and a pair of twin dragon girls, Rai and Ria. They are now his new party and family. Together, they traveled the world through routes, picking up passengers of different races and socioeconomic backgrounds and dropping them off at their destinations of different kinds.
  Also, he discovered that he wasn’t alone in being reincarnated in that world: he was part of a class of creatures known as Renad. That group has different backgrounds of their previous lives, different ways they died, and best of all, different abilities, skills, and even equipment.
And also, the fantasy world will have evil entities and an organization named the Square Order of the Squirrel, whose primary goal is to free the demon king, Malarka, from the seal that sealed him 1,000 years before.

In Another World as a…Bus Driver?

Later, while my father was sending the letter to the Emerald Guild via one of his messengers, Sylas Aresius, I asked Russell if he would like to see him showing his Metal Manipulation. "Sure, that would be good, Caspian-kun," Russell positively responded back. His party and group wanted to join in, too.

So, all of us, except for Nathan, Cassius, and Mom, went to the training field in the center of the estate's wide gardens after getting permission from Mom. There I demonstrated my inherited ability with some metal gardening tools my parents' gardeners had left this morning. I used my ability to bend them. It did the trick, stunning Russell and his group.

"Yup, that's Metal Manipulation for you," said I. "What's yours?"

In response, Russell then showed his ability with his sword.

According to him, it was his secondary ability called Lightning magic.

His party did the same thing one by one with their own abilities.

Russell-san and Nathan-san, as well as their friends, then showed their stats to me, and I was stunned at their current stats.

Caspian was amazed, before asking Russell if he was a Renad. Russell said yes, and Caspian was amazed, asking him what was his occupation. "Bus driver," Russell replied back, before sharing to him how he and his group met his father less than an hour ago.

Caspian was stunned, having heard stories of someone who manned and drove a 'strange-looking and complex vehicle' from his classmates and teachers at Wallisville's academy.

"That was so cool of you!" he responded in enthusiastic admiration.

Russell smiled upon being complimented.

Meanwhile, back at the drawing room, Nathan and Cassius revealed to Eliza what had happened to Kane last time while on their way to Wallisville. Eliza was shocked and thanked them for helping her husband and his entourage out. "Yes, no problemo, miss," Nathan responded with his heavy Spanish accent.

"We are lucky to be there at that time," Cassius added in a polite tone.

Later, lunchtime came, and Russell, Caspian, and the others are now eating in the grand dining hall. The food served is exquisite and was cooked by Kane's best cooks. Dessert consisted of 3-layer cakes in chocolate and vanilla cream and some sweet cookies. Russell and Adrian seemed to be enthusiastic on eating those foods. Secretly, Adrian compared it with the food at the royal palace in Rossley. But the boy considered both as equally good.

As his family and the others ate, Kane informed them that he had sent a letter of request to the Emerald Guild in Leafmight, with the additional request in his letter that Eloni should separate Elai and Belius from the rest of their party.

"Oh, separation, eh?" Russell raised a question.

Kane then solemnly nodded. "Yes, so the others would not see them for a while."

"Good punishment for them," Azalea commented.
