MG: Volume 1 Chapter 1

This chapter was brought to you by AnmesicCat.

Awakening

It’s cold…

It hurts…

It’s painful…

These were the first impressions I felt.

When I awoke, I tried to retrace my memories before I lost my consciousness, however, it wasn’t clear. After work, I went home…

Wait a minute, I don’t have any memories of arriving home.

I don’t remember getting drunk. Perhaps I should say I had no plans of dining out. Did I maybe encounter some kind of accident?

Although I started to think of various situations, it wasn’t viable because of my painful condition.

I tried to move my body, but it wasn’t responding well.

I tried opening my eyes, but that also didn’t go so well.

Finally, because of the unpleasant situation, I tried to speak.

“Aa—”

I was surprised of my own voice.

It was a high-pitched cry that of an infant.

I tried to speak again.

“Au, au, a—”

Because my tongue wasn’t moving well, it wasn’t possible to talk.

Because of uncontrollable emotions, I suddenly burst into tears.

Although it was a shameful act as an adult, I couldn’t help it.

What is this?

While I was crying for a while, I heard approaching footsteps.

As I thought, it was cold and raining outside, and the footsteps I heard issued some squeaky noises.

‘I’m saved.’

I thought so for a brief moment, then, I heard a voice.

“☆※◇◎□○△▽”

I couldn’t understand it at all.

Falling into even further confusion, I was enveloped in a warm light, wrapped with a warm cloth, eliminating the pain I felt.

I, who felt relieved, suddenly lost my consciousness.

Get well soon, and thanks for posting this despite your illness.

  You’re welcome, and I’ve been very bored… I slept for over 12 hours… If I sleep any more, I think my brain will explode from boredom.
  - Willie April 4, 2015 at 5:34 am
    
    Yeah. Staying in the hospital sucks. Hopefully you find something to do.

    Explosions! Explosions! Explosions!
    Oh wait…. Cat must have brain lest the world ends!
    No explosions! No explosions! No explosions!

      Cool guys don’t look at explosions
      - AnmesicCat April 4, 2015 at 11:55 am
        
        No, they look at fireworks created by the explosion~

O.O new mushoku tensei ??
- AnmesicCat April 4, 2015 at 5:28 am
  
  Eh, I can’t tell yet since it’s very new.
- Pho Rawn April 4, 2015 at 7:52 pm
  
  better not mushoku tensei in the 140 ch. mark got kinda boring 😛
  - Gatts April 5, 2015 at 5:29 am
    
    If you stopped at ch140, IMO you’re missing out. I do agree that volume was pretty slow but it’s all setup for the next arc, which, if you’re curious, starts at ch153. If you can push yourself that far, I think you’ll find Mushoku Tensei pretty exciting then. IMO the arc that starts at ch.153 is my favorite arc so far.
    - Pho Rawn April 5, 2015 at 1:54 pm
      
      i didnt stop i just said got kinda boring 😛

Looks like we need to tranquilize Cat before she’s willing to take a break.

Break out the tranquilizer shotgun. 🙂

  I think with all the needles and the lack of precision coupled with collision the only division is derision in a pretty flawed mechanism.

It seems Cat will not rest until her loyal underlings are fed! Even in illness cat looks after our needs! What a benevolent ruler! Praise be to Cat!
- Truciderete April 5, 2015 at 2:29 am
  
  It’s all planned. Cat has made us become dependent, and when the time is right Cat will call upon us to conquer the world, which we will do.
  All hail Cat are Supreme Overlord.
Nocta April 4, 2015 at 6:41 am

Indeed, it seems promising. I like reincarnation stories recently.
But Please, even if you’re bored, rest well!

Hmm I don’t get this first episode
- AnmesicCat April 4, 2015 at 7:59 am
  
  That’s quite common since it’s the first chapter.
Shiroyasha April 4, 2015 at 7:27 am

Damn! Such a common plot yet that synopsis made me laugh hard~ cat, if you’re bored if you’re that tired from boredom, I heard from the doctor that translating a chapter would help the recovery~teehee~
- Shiroyasha April 4, 2015 at 7:38 am
  
  By the way, is this chapter 1 or just prologue since it really seems like a prologue…
  - AnmesicCat April 4, 2015 at 8:00 am
    
    I’ve actually already started on the next chapter, hoping to finish it today. Also this is just an introductory chapter.

      Can’t you use speech-to-text while having the wn in another tab? Phones are great these days n_n
      Sadly; not as great as you. They don’t give me what I want without buffering for a year. :Z
      - AnmesicCat April 4, 2015 at 11:52 am
        
        I’m not sure for other phones, but for example, when I open youtube and then switch to chrome, the sound from youtube dies. The same thing happens with speech-to-text.

      I,who did not cry even after reading Orange Marmalade(somehow it’s what I always say because it’s the only one I can say that about 99.4% cried while I didn’t after reading the whole thing in one day.Of course,I mean the first time.)am now tearing up.To think we,no,I,hadn’t noticed the benovelence that the translators shed upon me till now,I deeply regret that.And,I,now pay my respects to one of them!I,Serene,swear that I shall remember this debt,this gratefulness till the day I,Serene,vanish.And even at that time, be grateful.
      
      …If I do forget,please punish me by not giving a chapter for a month….(You probably won’t though…So,I shall punish myself by not reading it for three weeks after it has been posted…I,definitely did not shorten the time…Haha…Who did?Not me,definitely not me.)

What will happen to SR then?

  SR will still be translated. This is just a side project.

    what app do you use in google play?
Mistakenlylost April 4, 2015 at 8:38 am

I have a question, though it may spoil the story for me.

He is a reincarnated person right? Based on what I understand from the description and this chapter, it is probably true.

The problem: Why would the grandfather need to teach him common sense when he is already an adult, at least, on the soul. right? Or maybe it means, the common sense of the new world the mc is living in. naahh.. idk.

Thank you for the chapter.. 😀
- mistakenlylost April 4, 2015 at 8:43 am
  
  forget it, no need to answer.. haha
  
  The grandfather, maybe, didn’t know that his grandson retained his memory from his past life, right?
  
  again, thank you.
- AnmesicCat April 4, 2015 at 11:54 am
  
  Unfortunately, I can’t answer most of your question, since I haven’t read that far ahead… However, what I can tell you is this: This is a reincarnation novel (it seems quite popular with all the writers).
  
  As for common sense… what I think is common sense might not be the same for other people from a different culture; maybe it’s something like that?
- Serene Su April 4, 2015 at 1:35 pm
  
  There’s probably two reasons I can think of right now if I interpreted what you meant correctly.
  1.Remember,he came from another world.This is merely a theory,but most probably true because he came from a world simmilar to Earth and considering he couldn’t understand the words of the old man.
  2.Even if he does have common sense,it is based on what he learnt in his previous life and his 15 years of life in this world and like the old Man said,he forgot to teach him common sense.And what he learnt in his previous life has nothing to do with this world,even if it does,probably only a small amount is relevant and may not even be important details.
  (Aah,why are my comments always so long?…Guess I’ve only got myself and you to blame…)
John Smith April 4, 2015 at 9:15 am

Seems like another tensei series. Not that it’s a bad thing.
kirindas April 4, 2015 at 2:30 pm

Thanks for the new series!
MysteriousObserver April 4, 2015 at 4:12 pm

I promise I’ve read a manga with this exact storyline! (At least as far as I can tell) The MC is summoned by the magician in exchange for magicians life. However the MC is so OP he resurrects the magician in the form of a frog! Lol
If this isn’t the same, it should be darn close enough for a good title pic.

Now here’s where I drop the ball…I don’t remember the name of it… Sorry, and oh, keep up e good work in good health!!! 😉
- Static Transit April 4, 2015 at 5:39 pm
  
  You’re thinking of Ore to Kawazu-san no Isekai Hourouki. It’s originally a light novel I believe.

Thanks to various magic, the human race have been saved from calamity many, many times.
the human race has been saved
Earlshide Advance Magic Academy.
Advanced sounds so much better to me.This is really a matter of preference for me, but I decided to do it anyway(because why not like Voldemort said in HPMoR)
Because my tongue wasn’t moving well, I wasn’t possible to talk.
, it wasn`t
Thanks for the new series I guess( still waiting for Id to be picked up again by translators)
honnyboyt April 5, 2015 at 9:33 am

Finfan April 4, 2022 at 4:57 pm

I’m writing this for those of you coming here from that “Novel Updates” place just to let you know what to expect. The first 45 chapters are done by these fine people here at Japtem. They are good easy to read Chapters.

This will be followed by four chapters of pain done by a group that speaks neither Japanese nor English. You can probably imagine how bad that will be.

Then Chapters 50 to 82, plus Chapter 92 are done by a translator named Kaelpie. These are also well done, although Kaelpie does love to make lots of comments. They do however provide a noteless version that I found easier follow since it flows better that way.

Unfortunately we then move on to a Group called “DreamPotato” for chapters 83 to 92. These are quite bad especially when it comes to personal pronouns and names. For example Merlin becomes Marlene for a while. Thankfully that is only for 10 chapters.

After that we get to a group called “Kuhaku Light Novel Translations”. This group does a reasonable job and is relatively easy to follow. They are also the ones that are the currently doing the translations as I write this. I hope this helps prepare you for what is coming and keeps you from giving up when you get to the bad parts.
