“Mukyah! I blew up!?”
I have a smartphone in my hand, and on it is the gacha screen of the game I’m playing.
The result is merciless. I mercilessly blew up.
“Guaaah… I took time out of studying for tests so I could work part time, and spent all my money here!”
I spent money like an idiot on microtransactions, and the result isn’t good at all.
It’s very bad even.
Can something this ruthless really happen? I wanna cry.
“Ahh, let’s buy a magic card.”
But I don’t intend to give up.
I get up in a huff, and walk from the living room to the entrance.
“Bright!”
A bright light assaults my eyes when I open the door.
The summer sun. I’ve been at home all this time, so it’s pretty harsh… No, wait, that’s not the sun…
Whoosh…!
A high pitched sound hits my ears.
“Ah?”
When I regain my vision, I see a large truck headed straight towards me.
■■■■■
……
…………
Ah!?
W-what happened!?
A truck covered my vision, so I closed my eyes without thinking, and opened them.
“(…Am I okay?)”
It was going straight towards me… But did I survive?
I’m conscious, but what was that all about?
How did I survive that truck?
And what’s with this grass around me?
I tilt my head, looking at this big grass all around me.
Our mower… Well, he tends to slack off, but this grass is taller than me.
“(…Hn?)”
Anyway, let me check my surroundings.
I try to move, but feel like my stomach is rubbing against the ground at the same time as I’m moving forward.
“(W-wait!)”
That’s where I finally realize it. I can’t feel my limbs.
No, that’s not all… My senses are very different from what I’ve been cultivating since I was born.
I panic and look at myself.
“Kyu!?”
I see purple scales, and a body that stretches vertically like a snake’s. Yes, I’m not a person.
“(Eeeeeeeeeeeeeh!?)”
I face forward and see the grass that covers my vision and is taller than me.
The grass isn’t tall, I’m small.
“(…Was I reincarnated into another world!?)”
I’m your average otaku, so I have good knowledge of light novels, and I immediately understand my situation.
No doubt about it. I got hit by a truck and reincarnated, something so cliched that nowadays, you don’t see as a reason for otherworld reincarnations anymore.
“(…Status open!)”
With that in mind, I almost reflexively call for my status.
“(…!?)”
A half-transparent display panel appears in front of me.
I wasn’t expecting much when I yelled that, but it actually worked…. Status open uh…
You don’t see this nowadays either. Status screens have gone out of fashion in isekai stuff recently.
The fact that I can use it… Is a little surprising.
Well, it’s useful… So? My stats are like this.

◆◆◆◆◆
Weak…
I don’t know anything about this world, but even I can tell. I’m definitely weak. Look at these stats.
There’s no way I’m strong. I’m definitely among the weakest.
“(…Appraisal…. Will it work? Species Appraisal.)”
Appraisal is likely what’s showing my stats. With that in mind, I use it in my head.
《Poison baby snake》
《The young version of the E rank monster poison snake. Powerless and with nothing of note, it requires no caution. It has a skill to numb an enemy, but its effect is next to nothing, meaning it also requires no caution.》
I just thought about it, and the skill opened with no issues… But…
It keeps calling me weak.
I’m among the weakest monsters. Why couldn’t I have been reborn into something stronger?
“…Kyu.”
So what can a weak monster such as myself do now…
“Grrr.”
As I leisurely think, I hear a groan.
“…Kyuu.”
And when I look behind me…
“…Grr.”
There’s a head way above me, that belongs to what looks like a mad dog.
This isn’t a cute dog like the ones I know… It’s a scary dog, like a monster you’d see in an anime.
“Kyuu!?”
“Gaaaah!”
Use Run Away!
It’s clearly on a whole other level compared to me, so I immediately make the decision to get out of here.
