(Present time)
In the lively heart of Batangas province, a spirited 16-year-old butcher named 'SHAJI' skillfully transforms fresh meat into culinary delights at the bustling public market. Once a orphan facing the hardships of street life, Shaji's difficult upbringing shaped his resolve to change his path. Now, he embraces each day, honing his craft and telling his own story through the art of butchery. From the time he stepped in at the age of 12 Until now.
When waking up in the morning
[[ Shaji ]] (yawning at the window) Good morning, neighbors! (noticing the beautiful Camille) Good morning, my love, my dream girl!!
Our hero, in terms of courting, is simply clumsy but possesses a strong imagination.
Freshly showered and energized, he's ready to tackle another day at work. His boss can always count on his unwavering dedication and reliability.
[[ Shaji ]] Good morning, Boss. Which animal will we be slaughtering today?
[[ Boss ]] We will have five cows and ten pigs coming. Get ready for it.
[[ Shaji ]] "Absolutely! I'll take care of it right away, boss!"
[[ Boss ]] "Make it a priority to verify this, Shaji. We must get it right."
[[ Shaji ]] Alright boss !! "Rest assured, it will be accomplished."
Later, the animals arrive, and our hero is eager and fully prepared to begin their work.
[[ Shaji ]] It's so simple that I can complete it in four hours.
Shaji is no ordinary guy—he's got an insane speed that makes him stand out from everyone else.
[[ Dencio ]] ( work colleague ) You are truly exceptional Shaji. Today is Jovan's birthday. Would you like to join us?
[[ Shaji ]]"Shall we visit that charming bar just down the street? Their cocktails are divine."
[[ Dencio ]] You are an accurate Shaji! "There are also many beautiful girls."
[[ Shaji ]] I can't wait!!
[[ Dencio ]] This is your chance to be baptized virgin Shaji!? Hahaha!!! I appreciate your interest, but I kindly ask you to consider not booking Miss Uy, as she is already committed to me. Hahaha!! Additionally, Miss Marie is Jovan's partner. A secret partner Shaji!!
[[ Shaji ]] Many attractive girls can be chosen, right?
[[ Dencio ]] "Don't worry, Shaji. There are plenty of girls."
As night set in, the three of them hit the road. Soon after, they ended up hanging out in the bar.
[[ Jovan ]] My goodness look at Miss Marie she is so gorgeous!
[[ Dencio ]] Miss Uy is also beautiful and the size man ohlala!!!
[[ Shaji ]] Where is my girl?
[[ Arianne ]] hello! I'm just behind you. I'm Arianne and you?
[[ Shaji ]] hi! just call me Shaji, oh! You are so sexy… Arianne..!
As the night went on, our hero invited Arianne to another room, and she followed him there. They shared a kiss, and as he attempted to undress her, bad luck struck—the police arrived and began raiding the bar.
[[ Shaji ]] I'm really unlucky man..!!!
Heroes in another world
Jimmy is handsome, smart, and serious about life. Papi is
muscular, athletic, and also good-looking. Jojie may be slow, but he is
strategic and overcomes all obstacles. Sophia is beautiful and attractive, but
I don't like her makeup; it's too heavy. they are in a group at school.
back to our hero inside the slaughterhouse
[[ Boss }} Shaji There are 10 cows, 20 pigs, and 100
chickens. Can you handle it now?
[[ Shaji }} put it in ( bad mode )
He expressed his anger. He couldn't move on from what
happened that night. He completed his work in only two hours. The boss was
shocked and couldn't believe that kind of speed was unnatural.
[[ Boss ]] What the
hell!? Are you serious? What trick did you use?
[[ Shaji ]] Boss, it's just pure talent and skill; nothing
else. Go ahead, you can start delivering it.
He decided to leave early because he was exhausted. On his
way home, he noticed something strange in the corner. A group of four students
was absorbed by a portal, and unfortunately, a dog was chasing him from behind.
He had no choice but to run toward the portal, and, regrettably, he ended up
being swallowed by it.
[[ Shaji ]] Where am I?
Where are we?
[[ Jimmy ]] Are we dead?
[[ Sophia ]] Are we in heaven?
[[ Jojie ]] Are we hit by accident?
[[ Papi ]] Sir!? are you the one who did this?
[[ Dennis Goy ]] (the summoners ) Good day to all of you,

monstrous invaders. Please accept your destiny and fulfill your duty to this

[[ SHAJI "Sir, are you saying that I don't have magic
like the other people here?"
(( Dennis Goy ]]
Correct sir.
[[ Shaji ]] I'm a butcher in my world also in here!?
I'm really unlucky! Oh god!
[[ MOP MOP ]] (one of the summoners) My dear king VAR. just one to clarify there is something wrong
with this summoning we should have four heroes to be summoned right? but why do
we summon five people?
The atmosphere in the palace was one of surprise, as
everyone exchanged glances and engaged in quiet conversation..
[[ King VAR ]] Attention, everyone! Traditionally, our
kingdom summons four heroes, but this time we have summoned five individuals.
Those four with the strongest magical abilities will be recognized as an
official kingdom hero. And the weaker magic will not qualify. If you find
yourself among them and wish to leave, you are free to do so just choose one of
our four major provinces to settle in. Your journey is yours to decide.
perverse damages you will receive 100 gold coins enough to start your new life
as a commoner.
[[ Dennis Goy ]] The Kingdom of VAR CHUPABLO officially
recognizes. Sir Jimmy, Jojie, Papi, and
Miss Sophia as heroes. All of you heroes can you please proceed to the other
room and you sir Shaji you can leave the palace good luck with your journey.
THE KINGDOM OF VAR CHUPABLO
This kingdom is divided into four towns: the central town of
Pachu, the town of Luci, the town of Kulti, and the town of Gerping.
An hour ago Outside
of the palace. Our hero was stunned for a while when suddenly a beautiful
carriage appeared in front and someone came out.
[[ Shaji }} what did I get myself into? where do I start, it's the dog's fault. Ahh.!
[[ Mayor OTEP ]] Good day, Sir Shaji. I'm Mayor Otep Soyti
of Gerping. I believe your skills would greatly benefit our town, and we would
love to have you.
[[ Shaji ]] Have a good day. Also, Mayor, let me think about
it. I'm still confused about what happened.
[[ Mayor Otep ]] I'm leaving tomorrow and heading back to my
town. If you make a decision, just wait here.
Our hero went into the city proper he looked around.
[[ Shaji ]] What kind of life is there here? This is a real
old era, and there are a lot of cute girls around. Hehehe! Oh, look at that one
yummy melon! Hehehe!
When the sun went down, he first looked for a place to stay
and found a motel where he checked in. Two gold coins for a room with breakfast
is not bad.
When he wakes up In the morning, he went straight to the lobby for breakfast.
While eating, he noticed a group of people talking about the town of Gerping.
[[ Group of people ]] There's some humor about the town of
Gerping. The good news is that the town guild is encouraging a group of hunters
to register because the entire kingdom of Chupablo is running out of meat
supplies. They are offering a substantial reward for hunting down edible
monsters. However, the bad news is that the monsters in the area are quite
strong, and I've heard that some high-ranking hunters have been killed.
[[ SHaji ]] What!? He didn't tell me. Ah! Let me think about
my skills. I am a butcher, so I am not engaging with live monsters. Ah! Mayor
Otep offered me to be a part of his business; makes sense, hehehe!. Ok, count
me in Mayor!
our hero is waiting at the place that was discussed it
didn't take long for the mayor to arrive.
[[ Mayor Otep ]] Have a good day sir Shaji so have you
decided?
[[ Shaji ]] Yes Mayor please take good care of me I don't
have any choice but to move on.
{{ Mayor Otep ]] OK! Rest assured, go inside the carriage.
Sir Shaji, the town of Gerping welcomes you openly. You know what, sir! Your
skills are quite interesting; that's why I want to take you to our town. By the
way, did you check your STATUS?
[[ Shaji ]] What 's Status Mayor. Do you mean my hero's
status? Well, I'm nobody now Mayor!
[[ Mayor Otep ]] NO! NO! NO! That's not what I meant. Even
if you are not taken as a member of the heroes, you are part of the summon,
meaning you received a gift from God. Just say the word STATUS. and something
appears in front of you.
[[ Shaji ]] OK! STATUS!. What!? I know this thing is like a
part of the game back in my world. Wow! It is cool! Let me check my unique
skill as a BUTCHER. MP/rank G category HP/rank G category MANA capacity rank G category, and STORAGE items. Nothing else and also there is a lot of unlock boxes.
[[ Mayor Otep ]] No worries, Sir Shaji! Did you know that
you can level up your status by killing the monster or demons? That is why my town is suitable for you.
[[ Shaji ]] Sounds good to me Mayor.
[[ Mayor Otep ]] The higher-ranking demon or monster you can
kill, the higher your status can also be. By the way, heading to my town takes
10 days. Well, the black stone crystal is out of stock because of the
summoning. so we cannot use it. Black portals are not available. So the only
option is to travel by land.
[[ Shaji ]] Mayor it is a long journey for us hehehe!
THE TOWN OF GERPING
This town is the kingdom's last settlement, bordering monster territory. This makes the surrounding area a hunting ground shared by both human hunters and monstrous cannibals, creating a very hazardous environment.
[[ Mayor Otep ]] My town is a major meat supplier, providing for the entire kingdom. However, we're facing a manpower shortage, particularly in the butchering sector. While the hunter's guild has many members, higher-ranked hunters (Ranks A and B) often dominate the best hunting opportunities, leaving those with less experience—the brave hearts—with fewer chances to earn significant income.".
[[ Shaji ]] Mayor, what if a monster were to breach the town's defenses? It could be catastrophic, especially for the residents.
[[ Mayor Otep ]] The town is protected by a barrier of immense magical power, a formidable defense against the threat of high-ranking monsters, and also has numerous outposts strategically located throughout the region, each guarded by a five-ranked A guard contingent. In the event of a catastrophic breach, we can summon S-class individuals directly from the central palace. Providing a formidable last line of defense."
Five days have passed, and they have arrived in the town of LUCI (mayor CIV LULU), a brother-in-law of Mayor Otep. The town thrives on a robust economy centered around domestic products, vegetable farming, and the production of high-quality wood furniture.
[[ Mayor Otep ]] Well, Sir Shaji, we've reached the town of Luci! Feel free to snooze for a bit, but we've got some fun things to do. I'll be seeing my sister and meeting her husband, too.
Inside the town palace where the couple lives
{{ Mayor CIV LuLu ]] Mayor Otep! My brother-in-law! How was the summoning?
[[ Mayor Otep ]] The endeavor was successful, with a minor hiccup that was easily resolved.
[[ Mayor CIV Lulu ]] That's wonderful news! A Successful hero summoning I'm so glad everything went well.
[[ Miss. Wena ]] How are you, brother? I'm curious, who is this young man?
{{ Mayor Otep ]] one of those on summons.
[[ Mayor CIV ]] Why is it here? It must be in the palace,
[[ Mayor Otep ]] This is Sir Shaji. He accidentally stumbled into the portal, so we now have five heroes instead of four. But the king has spoken, and he is not an official hero. That's why I took him.
[[ Miss Wena ]] It happened for the first time! For me, that's good news we got a bonus!!
The meeting concluded after several hours, and the group then departed. As the tenth day of their journey neared, a disturbance arose at the border between the Town of Luci and the Town of Gerping.
The carriage stopped, and everybody got out. Shaji witnessed the hunters chasing the Rank B Magical Forest Bear in front of them. One of the hunters shot powerful magic toward the bear, enough to kill it. Shaji struck for a while, and his heart beat faster.
[[ Shaji ]] I'm speechless. It was an incredible encounter. I'm amazed by its sheer size. That bear was truly enormous, ten times larger than I could have ever imagined.
[[ Mayor Otep ]] Sir Shaji, please consider this your new reality. These are the expected norms of life here. Are you surprised by this?
[[ Shaji ]] It was a challenging situation, Mayor, but I'm confident I can adapt.
[[ Mayor Otep ]] It's good to hear that we're approaching the capital. We're just three hours away, so please board the vehicle.
Upon their arrival, the caravan reached the capital of Gerping, where they were greeted by the mayor's entourage, which comprised his wife and daughter
Mayor Otep embraced his wife, Aura, and
their daughter, Bea, as he exited the carriage.
A FAMILY
[[Aura]] My dear, how are things going?
[[Mayor Otep,]] rest assured that
everything is fine.
[[Aura]] I understand you're all weary.
Please come in and enjoy the refreshments we've prepared.
[[Bea]] Father, who is your companion?
[[Mayor Otep]] Oh, I apologize, darling;
this is Sir Shaji. He is one of the summonses. Sir Shaji, this is my wife Aura
and my daughter Bea.
[[Shaji]] Ma'am Aura and Miss Bea, it is
a pleasure to meet you. I am Shaji Raulo Abbadon, a traveler from another
realm.
[[mother and daughter]] It is an honor
to have you in our town, Sir Shaji. food is ready please join us.
[[Shaji]] The mayor's daughter is strikingly beautiful.
I believe we are around the same age. I feel like I want to live here hehe! (talking
to himself)
While enjoying a meal in the dining
room, the mayor began to recount stories within the palace.
[[Aura]] Sir Shaji, I understand your
challenges. However, please know that our town is a welcoming and supportive
community. As my husband has stated, there is always hope and ample job
opportunities here.
[[Mayor Otep]] We've talked about
everything, including his work skills. I've decided to put him in the butcher
section, and I'd like to introduce him to the team.
[[Aura]] It's great to hear about your
new job, Sir Shaji! You'll be in good hands with your new colleagues.
[[Bea]] congratulation Sir Shaji! I hope you
like our place.
[[Shaji]] I am incredibly thankful,
particularly to you and your family, Mayor Otep. I owe my life to you and would
go to any lengths to live a good life.
[[Mayor Otep]] I sensed you had a
significant role within the palace from the moment I saw you. I felt a
connection, something the palace staff didn't notice. Your skills are exactly
what my business needs hahaha!!
[[Aura]] Sir Shaji, I assure you, my husband wouldn't
take advantage of you. It was just a playful remark, please don't interpret it
literally.
[[Shaji]] I know that's just a joke he just
tried to make me happy, hahaha!!
[[Mayor Otep]] Sir Shaji, we want you to feel at ease with us, not as friends but as close family. OK!
After a few hours, the Banquet was over
[[Mayor Otep]] Take a break Sir Shaji. My staff
will escort you to your room. We will visit your workplace tomorrow morning.
[[Shaji]] Yeah, I'm really tired Mayor. thank
you very much again.
The first morning in Gerping Town found our
hero, already awake and eager to begin their workday.
[[Mayor Otep]] Good
morning, Sir Shaji. I regret that I cannot accompany you today. A meeting has
unexpectedly arisen, but my daughter will be able to accompany you. Your
workplace and my daughter's school are located in the same vicinity.
[[Shaji]] Don't worry,
mayor, I can do it besides you help me a lot.
[[Mayor Otep]] I appreciate
your understanding. My daughter is waiting for you outside. Best of luck, Sir
Shaji.
As they traveled, Shaji began speaking
with Miss Bea.
[[Shaji]] Good morning, Miss Bea. I
apologize for the lack of formality in our greeting. I've been very impressed
by your father's kindness to me. And, I'm curious, are you currently in a
relationship?
[[Miss Bea]] What? No? I don't have a Boyfriend.
[[Shaji]] I
apologize for my clumsy phrasing, but you are so kind and beautiful, that I'm
sure you'll attract many suitors.
[[Miss Bea]] I am
committed to my academic responsibilities at this time. Oh! we are here it's fast!
Come down Sir Shaji I will introduce you to your co-workers
Inside the butcher house, Miss Bell Coel
greeted them (Master Butcher)
[[Miss Bell]] Good morning, Miss Bea,
and good morning, Sir Shaji. We're excited to begin working with you, Sir Shaji.
[[Miss Bea]] Please assist Sir Shaji in
his workspace, Miss Bell. My father had a sudden meeting, so I brought him
along. Good luck, Sir Shaji.
[[Shaji]] Thank you so much Miss Bea
good luck also to your studies.
[[Miss Bell]] Alright, Sir
Shaji, come in! I'll introduce you to your colleagues. OH! Before that, we head
first to your room on the second floor ;
After ten minutes, Miss Bea delivered a
message.
[[Miss Bea]] Attention everyone, this is Sir
Shaji, Mayor Otep's recommendation for our new butcher. Please extend a warm
welcome and be friendly with him. Sir Shaji this Faith, Usbaw Billy Mariz, and
Noel.
[[Coworkers]] Welcome to the
team Sir SHaji!!!
[[Shaji]] Thank you
for welcoming me. I'm excited to start working with you. Excuse me, Miss Bell,
do you happen to know of a knife shop in this area? I'm looking to purchase a
butcher knife.
[[Miss Bell]] Yes there is! the blacksmith is located to your right. Proceed outside and
you will find it.
[[Shaji]] Allow me a moment, Miss Bell,
and I will return shortly.
[[Miss Bell]] GO! The shop is called Joseph Blacksmith, a famous blacksmith shop.
Inside the shop
[[Joseph]] (owner of the shop) Hello, sir. What are you looking for?
[[Shaji]] Do you have any butcher knives for sale?
[[Joseph]] Certainly, sir, I shall escort you to the other room. Allow me to briefly introduce the diverse range of butcher knives we have
available. This one is called BONING knife used to remove flesh from meat and
fish bones. And this is made from the bone of a Rank B Panthera Lion.
[[Shaji]] I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm a little confused about the material. You said it was made from bone? Not made of steel?
[[Joseph]] Sir, knives crafted from steel are primarily used in kitchens. It's not possible to use magic-powered creatures.
[[Shaji]] Oh, I get it! This makes sense.
(I forgot I'm in the other world).
[[Joseph]] Let's continue, OK! This one is called BREAKING Knife this one is used for cutting large sections of meat into smaller ones.
[[Shaji]] I'm sorry to interrupt you again. I realized the animals here are not ordinary, so if I used butcher knives, they would be quite
small. How about this one, sir? BARONG blade, SUNDANG, PANABAS, or SINUWAK? I prefer this kind of blade; I think it is fit for larger animals.
[[Joseph]] Sir, all the items you selected are made also from the bones of Panthera lions, classified as Class B material. Do you take
it?
[[Shaji]] Yes, I'll take it. What is the name of this blade? I like this blade. Can I add this cute heart-shaped piece to it?
[[Joseph]] Oh, The PINUSO blade is composed of Class B material derived from the teeth of a goblin shark.
[[Shaji]] Sir how much all!
[[Joseph]] Sir the total amount is around 500 golds.
Shaji passed out for a moment
[[Shaji]] Too much! I have only 98 golds here. It's like 100 gold for each blade.
[[Joseph]] No problem at all, sir. We can arrange for you to pay in installments. Just sign the contract, and we'll get started.
[[Shaji]] I thought this was something only I'd ever seen before, but it's been a popular trend here for a while now! Sir, How much is
the down payment?
[[Joseph]] Before signing, please read the contract and ensure you understand it. It requires 50 gold.
The contract is signed. And hurried back.
[[shaji]] I apologize for the delay, I was surprised by the prices.
[[Miss Bell]] While it's a pricey investment, the product is built to last. You won't be disappointed. The new arrivals of animals have arrived,and it's been a long day all of us.
[[Shaji]] It is time to begin.
[[Miss Bell]] Did you see that? It is a black portal meat transportation that's where new catches animals come from. It is a direct
delivery coming from the hunters themselves. Like for example as a hunter, I
capture new creatures and store them in my portal box. The guild will then
notify the party members that it is delivered to us safely. A dead animal emerges from the portal, fully detailed. This is the process. You got it.
[[Shaji]] I understand completely, Ma'am.
[[Miss Bell]] ok then 100 High-class Orcpigs are waiting for you. They all offer pork Tomahawk cuts. Go! Good luck.
Shaji's first day as a butcher in the other world arrived. 2nd day: 20 Mountain Bear specimens are magical and have a C-rank. 3rd day 5 Giant goblin. Only A-Rank hunters can capture the rare sea creature, Ogilby, also known as the Ghost shark, which
appears on the 4th day. After one month there is an announcement from the guild
referring to the hunting ground there is a report that some high-ranking
Monster lurking within visibility and it is too dangerous for the low-ranking
hunters even Rank A hunters. The guild has declared a hunting ban in effect
until further notice.
[[Miss Bell]] Sir Shaji, I hope you're aware that it's been a month since I last saw your work. Your exceptional skills surpass my own, so
I'm granting you a day of rest. Haha, I'm just kidding. The guild's announcement has impacted us, so we're taking a day off. Also, please remember that your salary is now 100 gold for the month. We'll let you know when we're back.
As he lay in bed, he recalled his status.
[[Shaji]] "STATUS" My status is: MP/Rank D, HP/Rank D, Butcher's Knife Skills/Rank D, SPEED/Rank D. New unlock skills: DETECTION and MEAT TRACKER. I will use these new skills. Here we go! "DETECTION" ohh!! It is cool... I'll see the movement of animals and I can sense what type of animals
this one is a dog, in the other corner there is a cat. how about a meat tracker
"MEAT TRACKER" ohh… I can identify edible and weak points in animals. What parts are less strong? I will go for a walk outside first.
