The provided chapters detail the protagonist, Takatsuki Makoto, a seemingly weak magic-user with unique skills, being transported to another world after a bus accident during a ski trip. Initially, he and his classmates find themselves in a stone building, realizing they have been isekai'd. Makoto discovers his stats are exceptionally low, and his skills include "Mirror of Still Water," "Water Magic: Beginner," and "RPG Player." He learns that in this new world, people gain skills and stats upon arrival, and that returning to their original world means death.
Makoto and his classmates are initially housed and educated at the Water Temple, a sanctuary for isekai'd individuals. While most classmates receive powerful skills and high stats, Makoto's are notably weak, leading to disappointment from the Water Priestess Sophia and a sense of being overlooked. He is also informed that his lifespan is limited to ten years, which can be extended through "contributions" like defeating monsters or donating money.
After a year of training at the temple, Makoto, still a "Magic Apprentice" with low stats, decides to become an adventurer to earn money and extend his lifespan. He befriends Fujiwara, a former classmate who has become a successful merchant with useful skills like "Storage Magic: Super" and "Appraisal: Super." Fujiwara, who also possesses the "Galge Player" skill allowing him to read conversations and thoughts, reveals that Makoto's unique "RPG Player" skill also grants him a third-person perspective and mapping abilities.
Makoto's first adventure involves hunting horn rabbits and reporting goblin encounters. He quickly gains a reputation for his unusual efficiency in clearing goblin settlements, earning him the moniker "Goblin Cleaner." During this time, he is contacted in a dream by Noah, a beautiful but seemingly minor goddess who claims to be his patron. Noah, who is revealed to be an "Old God" and is imprisoned in the "Deep Sea Temple," offers Makoto a divine short sword, a powerful artifact, as a sign of their contract. Despite initial suspicion and the revelation that Noah is considered a "False God," Makoto accepts her patronage, partly due to her unique charm and the powerful weapon.
Makoto's adventures continue as he takes on quests. He encounters and defeats a giant Ogre, saving a party of adventurers including a skilled but reckless fire mage named Lucy, who is a half-elf and half-demon with a "Great Magic" and "Fire Magic: King Class" skill. Despite his weak stats, Makoto's strategic use of his skills, particularly "Water Magic" and his "RPG Player" ability to analyze situations, proves effective. Lucy, impressed by his abilities and perhaps seeing potential despite his low stats, proposes they form a party. After some hesitation and encouragement from others, Makoto accepts, marking his first true companion in this new world.
