Plot
[edit]After Naofumi Kimiya dies in a tragic bus accident on a school trip, along with his entire class, they appear as bodyless souls, in front of a being who announces himself as an evil god, but not actually evil. They are about to be transported into a fantasy-like world, and the evil god gives each a pool of points they can spend on fantasy like skills. It also seems he's willing to entertain creating new skills on request. Naofumi notices that some of the skills seem very overpowered, although the god explicitly said there are no cheat skills. Even though it's expensive, Naofumi decides to spend 20 points out of his pool of 150 on a help guide, which allows him to see the small letters attached to each skill, and indeed it turns out that all seemingly cheat skills are actually booby traps, and if that's not enough, it seems that some of those land mine skills spell trouble not just for the person who has them, but also the people around them.
After being transported into the other world along with his childhood friends Haruka and Tomoya with nothing more than their clothes and a few coins that would only last for a few days, the three must find a way to start from scratch, make a living and survive, and on top of that, they also need to avoid running into their former classmates, who might have picked some of those land mine skills.
