Labeled as an Intruder in a Another World

"Well, it seems I've transmigrated."

A young man named Reisou muttered to himself, reluctantly accepting the reality of his situation. He still couldn't understand how he had ended up there.

Just moments ago, Reisou had returned home after a long, exhausting day at work and gone straight to sleep. But instead of waking up in his bed, he found himself lying on the ground, alone behind a large gymnasium, dressed in a Japanese high school uniform.

Seconds later, a brief headache struck, flooding his mind with a torrent of unfamiliar memories.

It took Reisou a few minutes to finally organize his new memories and begin to understand the nature of this unfamiliar place.

The world he found himself in was dangerous, constantly threatened by the appearance of Gates.

Those Gates were interdimensional rifts that connected the planet to various worlds, each teeming with dangerous and bloodthirsty monsters. If a Gate wasn't cleared within a certain time, the monsters would break free and unleash chaos.

Sixty years ago, when the Gates first emerged, the world suffered greatly, and countless lives were lost. The military struggled to protect the population, as conventional weapons were ineffective against the otherworldly monsters.

Eventually, people around the world began awakening powers, granting them the ability to fight back against the monsters. Within just a few years, they became a vital military force in the fight to rebuild society and were officially named Hunters.

As the years passed after the rise of the Hunters, private organizations emerged worldwide to recruit them for clearing the Gates.

These organizations quickly gained significant power in society and, at times, held more influence than the government itself.

The Guilds, as those private organizations were called by the people, became so influential that a country's ranking was no longer based solely on its economy or technological advancement.

Guilds became a new requirement, and countries with powerful Hunters in their Guilds gained significant influence in the world.

Although the global situation seemed quite concerning, Reisou didn't panic. After all, he was in Japan, a country home to some of the strongest Guilds in the world, rivaling powerful nations like the United States, China, England, Russia, Germany, and Korea.

Compared to weaker nations struggling with the Gates, Japan was relatively peaceful, with monsters rarely causing trouble in the country.

However, Reisou couldn't feel entirely at ease either. In this world, just like in his past life, he remained a poor orphan who had spent many years in an orphanage.

Though he awakened his potential as a Hunter at fourteen, his lack of talent shattered his expectations.

Despite two years of hard training, his progress was minimal, and his abilities were only sufficient to fight low-tier monsters.

Reisou was well aware of this, and it made him ponder his next steps until a blue floating screen suddenly appeared before his eyes, accompanied by a soft ding and a mechanical voice.

[Ding!]

[Hello, host! The Omniversal Evolution System is now activated and ready to make your new life more enjoyable.]

[All useful commands and necessary information will be transferred to your mind.]

Before Reisou could react, his mind was flooded with information on how to use the system, along with details about its functions. The process lasted only three seconds, and soon after, he was able to think clearly again.

"Yes! A system! How could I forget the obvious transmigrator cliché?" he said, grinning with excitement at the idea of getting a cheat code.

He quickly checked his status through a mental command, which made it incredibly convenient and spared him from being called schizophrenic.

Upon seeing the unimpressive numbers, lack of skills, and basic talents, Reisou let out a small sigh, feeling a brief wave of disappointment.

However, the feeling didn't last long. With the system's capabilities, he knew that with enough dedication and effort, his growth wouldn't take as long as it would with conventional methods.

From his status panel, the "Intruder" title was the only thing that truly caught his attention. He tried to check its description, but the system informed him that it couldn't be displayed due to its low level.

For now, he chose to set it aside and focus on other matters.

In addition to his status, Reisou had an Inventory that could hold up to twenty items, with the potential for expansion, and a Quest menu that offered random missions whenever he entered a Gate.

Sometimes, the system would issue quests outside the Gates, but only on specific occasions.

*Din-Din-Dong!

Suddenly, the academy bell rang, interrupting his thoughts and reminding him that he was now a high school student again. Although attending classes seemed boring, Reisou didn't mind, as the academy he was enrolled in was far from ordinary.

He was a student at the prestigious Sozukusen Hunter Academy, renowned for shaping some of Japan's most powerful Hunters and influential figures. Only the most capable individuals were able to enroll, and under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible for him to be in such a place.

But, despite lacking outstanding talents and being a poor orphan, Sozukusen did accept a few hardworking teenage Hunters from orphanages, and fortunately, he was one of them.

Based on his new memories, he understood how tough it was to compete against thousands of students just for a single spot.

As Reisou made his way to his class in the second-year building, he couldn't help but be impressed by the size of the academy.

It was massive and breathtakingly beautiful.

Sozukusen was equipped with state-of-the-art facilities that would amaze anyone who visited. The campus was so vast and well-equipped that it could easily be mistaken for a small city.

The academy boasted various private apartments and public dormitories, providing housing for nearly two thousand students. Additionally, there was a bustling commercial street filled with various stores and a large mall.

Apart from the high school, Sozukusen also had a university campus, where students could continue their education and further refine their skills.

This vast academy, located in a prime area of Kyoto, is a dream for anyone aspiring to become a professional Hunter or follow a highly profitable career.

Reisou, of course, would try to benefit himself as much as he could, using every opportunity to grow stronger and live a good life.

Nearly ten minutes later, after walking around, Reisou finally reached the right classroom. Upon entering, he noticed some students chatting with each other, while others were on their smartphones, reading a book, or sitting in silence.

Instantly, his eyes widened in surprise as he realized that some of these students were very familiar.

'Oh, I forgot about that. This seems like one of those multiverse worlds where anime characters coexist,' he thought, glancing around.

As an otaku who used to spend his free weekends watching anime and read novels, especially slice of life, Reisou found it rather amusing that his classmates included Horikita Suzune, Nakano Nino, Nakano Miku, Miura Yumiko and Yuigahama Yui.

Even some protagonists, like Ayanokōji Kiyotaka and Hikigaya Hachiman, were there too.

After receiving a few glares for standing in the doorway for a full minute, Reisou quickly made his way to his seat.

To his surprise, he found himself sitting next to Nakano Nino, a cute yet cold-looking girl with long, straight pearl-pink hair adorned with twin butterfly-shaped ribbons.

Her piercing blue eyes shone brightly like the sky, capturing his attention for a moment. True to her portrayal in the anime, the girl was stunningly beautiful even in person.

She was talking with her sister Miku, who looked identical to her but wore an emotionless expression. Miku had medium-length hair and was wearing a blue wireless headphone.

Reisou found himself briefly staring at the two sisters, though it was more from curiosity than attraction.

*Din-Don-Dong!

Once again, the school bell rang, signaling the start of classes and prompting all the standing students to return to their seats.

Moments later, the classroom door swung open, and a stunning, mature woman with long brown hair tied in a ponytail walked in.

She wore a black blazer, a short black skirt, and black heels, her serious expression immediately commanding the room's attention.

"Let's start the class," she said in a firm voice before using a tablet to display its content on the digital blackboard behind her.

The students fell silent, focused, while Reisou, having already recognized her as Chabashira Sae, his history teacher, decided to pay close attention as well.

However, his mind wandered as he tried to think of a way to enter a Gate and evolve his status. According to the information he had received earlier, along with the system instructions, the only way to level up was by killing monsters.

Unfortunately, entering a Gate required a professional Hunter license issued by the government. While the academy did organize expeditions for students, those wouldn't begin for another two months, and Reisou wasn't willing to wait that long.

Just as he was lost in thought, a system notification appeared.

[Ding!]

[Your starter kit has been finally generated. As a compensation for the inconvenience, the system will provide a bonus.]

[Congratulations! You have received a Simple Armor Set (E-Grade).]

[Congratulations! You have received a Basic Lance (E-Grade) x1.]

[Congratulations! You have received a GK Card (E-Grade) x1.]

[Congratulations! You have received the skills: Intimidation (1⋆) and Fury (1⋆).]

[Congratulations! You have received the talent Public Speaking (Beginner) - Bonus.]

Reisou was momentarily surprised and glanced around before checking his rewards, but due to his low level, he couldn't view their descriptions.

Only the GK Card description was visible, and it made a grin appear on his lips.

[GK Card (E-Grade) x1: A card that allows the holder to randomly enter an active E-rank Gate. After killing the boss or sustaining certain damage, the user will be sent back to the last point where the card was used. Remember to tear the card to activate.]

He couldn't believe how convenient this item was and quietly thanked the system for providing it.

"Student Aragaki, are you finding my class funny?" A cold voice echoed, snapping Reisou's attention away from the system screen.

This caused the other students to shift their gazes toward him, making the boy feel a bit embarrassed, but he maintained his composure, replying, "Sorry, sensei, I got distracted. It won't happen again."

Sae didn't respond. Instead, she resumed the class as usual, prompting everyone to refocus.

Reisou decided to go along with it to avoid creating any more embarrassing situations for himself.
