The boy who was bullied - Chapter 1
History Matrix:
When my group arrived at the campsite, they let out a big cheer, but the medical team members stationed at the campsite immediately rushed over to us. The medical team was flustered at the sight of our heavily wounded troops and immediately began carrying the seriously injured to the medical tents, where they began treating everyone.
Recovery magic and healing potions were employed generously. Some of our men were wrapped head to toe in bandages.
I, Zack, recall that scene as I gaze at my own hands before the day ends.
When I returned, I was also battered. My hands were riddled with cuts and bruises from arrow strikes that had pierced my shield. Now, my wounds have been treated, bandaged up, and despite the pain, I recognize that they are nothing serious.
However, my hands continue to tremble. It is not merely a consequence of the battlefield, but an indescribable feeling that emanates from the responsibility I bear for leading my troops back alive.
I let my arms hang lifelessly and look up at the night sky, lost in contemplation.
I made it back alive. I am… still alive. I, a mere grunt and foot soldier, had to lead…
Man, that really is something I never want to do again.
In another year and a half, once my remaining year and a half of military service are up, I can finally return to my hometown village.
When I return to the village, a peaceful life awaits me. A tranquil and slow-paced life awaits me. Even a nobody like me can live a decent life. Somehow, I need to make it back alive.

☆The world is a fantasy world of swords and magic.
★Common Sense of the World
There are sword skills and sword arts for swords, and each weapon has its own skills and arts.
Each skill and art has the lowest level skill, the lower level skill, the intermediate skill, the upper level skill, the secret skill, and the ultimate skill.
There are forms for skills and arts, and even amateurs can imitate the forms and make the same movements as the skills, but
In practice, it is not a skill or art. It is an imitation of a form.
When it comes to skills and arts, speed, power, and destructive power increase by several to several dozen times.
Magic is divided into lower, middle, upper, and special levels.
The basics of magic are chant magic, but there are differences in the compatibility of attributes and types of magic depending on the person, so
There are many types of magic that ordinary people cannot use.
Some people can use magic without chanting.
There are also special types of magic that are commonly known in this world.
In addition to these, there are also skills and special abilities, as well as curses and abnormal conditions.
In this chapter, transfer magic appears as a special type of magic.
Transfer magic is a type of movement magic that is weak and the number that can be transferred is small.
Other special types of magic will appear in the future.
There are humans, demons, and celestials in the world.
And there are subhumans among humans, and among subhumans, there are elves, dwarves, beastmen, rockmen, and watermen.
Originally, there were beastmen, rockmen, and watermen, but as the number of people who moved from the country of demons to the country of humans increased,
They came to be accepted as subhumans.
Magic beasts are rampant, and different ecosystems of magic beasts inhabit the plains, forests, and mountains.
There are also caves and dungeons, and there are varieties of magic beasts that occur naturally and varieties that produce children, seeds, or eggs.
About the Calendar and Time
In this world, there are 360 days in a year, 30 days in a month,
And 20 beats in a day.
★The Situation Around the Protagonist
The protagonist does not know the worldview that the reader knows at all.
Common sense, human rights, and ways of thinking about status and relationships between men and women are different.
The protagonist is born and raised in a rural village called Roarem Village in the Kingdom of Almireyet.
There is a class system in the kingdom, and
There are classes of royalty, nobles, commoners, and slaves.
There are also adventurers who receive requests from the guild and act according to the instructions.
They defeat magic beasts, search for people and things, and collect materials.
In the kingdom, the age of adulthood is 15, and a two-year conscription system is in place for 15-year-olds.
Regardless of their status, they will be called up for conscription.
There was a grassland around the village of Roarem, and there was a forest beyond it, and there were mountains even further beyond that.
Strong magic beasts infest the grasslands and are protected by walls to prevent them from attacking.
In the village of Roarem, combat training is conducted from the age of 10 in preparation for conscription at the age of 15.
At that time, basic reading and writing are also taught. However, training and education are only held until noon, and after that, they are free to do as they please.
There are slaves in the village, but they have no relationship with the protagonist at all, so they do not appear in the story.
As for people’s names, in the past, families that were aristocrats had family names.
There are aristocrats who can inherit their titles to their children and those who have their titles only for one generation.
There are also people living in the village of Roarem who are descended from old aristocrats, but they are all commoners now.
Commoners who are not descended from aristocratic ancestors do not have a family name. And it is forbidden to make one for yourself.
If you have these basic settings in the back of your mind, I think it will be easier for you to read and understand the protagonist’s environment.
