My name is Yoshioka Shigeru.
Both I and others acknowledge that I've got an ugly face.
I've worn this ugly mug of mine with pride.
Sir, you may be my boss, but I can't do that.
The customers will come if we do good work.
I've worked hard at sales with my ugly face.
Steel Mill
My motto is to make customers— to make someone smile.
I refuse to disappoint people.
Naturally, I'm not popular with women, but I lived a fulfilling life.
Until that day...
This man touched me!
What? I didn't do it!
Both my hands are full!
Nobody believes the words of an ugly mug carrying a ton of adult games.
Hyougetsu -Ice Moon-
This world is cold towards ugly mugs.
The accused, Yoshioka Shigeru, is ordered to pay a fine of 300,000 yen
for violating the anti-nuisance ordinance.
I pleaded guilty to a small fine, figuring it would be easier than a long trial.
But that was a bigger mistake than I realized.

Several years later, the woman who framed me was arrested.
She'd falsely accused numerous men of molesting her
because she "couldn't stand stinky-breathed ugly mugs."
Because she was a minor, she got off on probation.
I was enraged, but there was nothing I could do.
Gross!
Ugly!
You're gross!
The ugly mug I used to be proud of torments me now as though it's a curse.
Reception
Employment Support Desk
The trauma from being falsely accused prevented me from living normally.
Yoshioka-san, is something the matter?
People began seeing me as an ugly mug with communication issues and scorned me.
Before I knew it, six years had passed.
I'd become an unemployed shut-in.
I'd used up all my savings and ate away my parents' money.
I was lower than livestock.
[Breaking] New Month, New Missing People -Tokyo-
That's when it happened.
Another disappearance, huh?
I wish I could disappear.
Kidnapping, human experiments.
The government culling NEETs is an amusing theory.
"I screwed up."
"I distributed my bonus points wrong."
"How you start is really important."
"It costs half your life to return to your original world."
"Good luck, guys."
Another world... A second life...
Yeah, right. Even for a fantasy story, that's lame.
At 2 AM...
Turn your computer so it's facing north,
open the window,
raise both arms, and wait.
It's not that I had any hopes for another world.
I just wanted to fight back a little against this shitty life.
I screwed up. It's game over. It's because I allocated my starting points wrong. It cost me half my lifespan. Do you want to go to another world? Do you want to reset the shit game that is life? At 2AM, turn your monitor to face north, open the window, and raise your hands to the sky. If you get a blue screen, you can go there. Good luck.
If you would like to try living a new life, please proceed to the next screen. Returning will cost half your lifespan.

How should I distribute these?
Mission 01: An Epicgod is Born
Is this a dream?
Huh?
Th-This is me.
Negative 255 looks...
I feel nothing but despair.
Oh, you're awake.
Who are they? Why are they in their underwear?
Sorry. I should've been more considerate.
Am I really in another world?
Th-Thank you.
Here.
I appreciate the thought, but no thanks.
People still discriminate based on looks in this world, too.
Uh, my name's Seiji.
I'm supposed to be 16 years old.
A delightfully handsome kid.
I'm supposed to be 16, too.
A loli. Doesn't seem like she wants to give her name.
Me, too.
My name is Seika.
A pampered tsundere.
They're all the age from the description.
I'm 16, too.
Huh. You don't look like it.
Oh, yeah?
You're so dignified!
Nice recovery.
So, did you guys find that thing online, too?
Turning your computer to face north at 2 AM...
Oh, yeah. I did that.
Me, too.
I see. So did I.
Then we're really living a second life.
We came to another world.
I wasn't expecting to be half-naked.
Yeah. Aren't you cold?
I'm fine.
Sorry, but I'm not here to make friends.
Even if we became friends, eventually...
Oh, right. My earnings are reduced to 1/10,000.
Not only that, but fractions are rounded down.
Did you find something?
N-Nothing.
You're, uh...
It's Shigeru.
Nice to meet you, Shigeru-san.
We can equally split whatever there's four of.
I couldn't possibly wear this...
It fit!
What's going on?
Wow, it's the perfect size.
I guess that's another world for you.
They adjusted quickly.
That's odd, though.
We can split the items and weapons four ways,
but there are seven gold coins.
That's not divisible by four.
Did someone pocket one?
I wonder...
Right, Shigeru-san?
He totally thinks I did it.
It's true that I erased one of them, but...
I don't need any money.
You guys split it between you.
We can't do that.
Why not?
We should gratefully accept.
It was the rest of us who found the seven coins.
Well, yeah. I ignored the coins when I found them.
Shigeru-san, look harder.
I'm sure he was too distracted by naked girls to search properly.
That's not a nice thing to say.
In exchange for the money, could you give me the axe?
That's not up to you.
Shigeru-san, if you keep grandstanding, you'll just fail again.
Again?
Oh, I'm sorry. I was talking about myself.
I often cause trouble for others since I have trouble communicating and act selfishly.
Doesn't seem that way to me.
I'm hoping to overcome that in my second life,
so I couldn't overlook the same behavior in you.
You suffer from communication issues, too, right?
Let's take this opportunity to overcome that.
Are you sure you have communication issues?
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
In the end, we used rock-paper-scissors to distribute the weapons,
and I was left with the staff.
Shigeru-san, let's shake hands to rally ourselves.
I'll pass.
I don't want to get hurt in my second life, too.
I'll live alone.
Nice meeting you all.
Same.
I look forward to working with you.
Yeah.
At the cost of my looks, I acquired...
Bonus Attribute Points
absolutely broken stats.
From here, let's head to the town of Iria.
According to the map, it's the closest town.
Yeah!
Shigeru-san, we're leaving!
I guess I'll give them the slip on the way there.
Let's go!
He's quick to act.
Are you okay?
Y-Yes.
L-Look!
We'll stop them since we've got melee weapons.
Seika-san, string your bow in the meantime.
O-Okay.
Shigeru-san, support Seika-san.
You take the left.
I'll take the right.
How does he have communication issues, exactly?
She chose the bow right away, but she's got zero experience with one.
What? Why don't you go already?
Easier said than done.
Ow!
One made it to you! It's yours!
Tell me sooner.
Whatever.
I'll show them my true strength.
Take this!
Wh-What? What's going on?
He's so weak...
A-Am I...?
Ow...
In the end, my second life is no different.

That's 17!
I can't watch this.
L-Let me string your bow for you.
Please...
Wh-Why?
I-I have bow-stringing syndrome.
What?
The bow speaks directly into my brain.
"Shigeru, you must string the bow."
"Hurry..."
What?!
Seika-san, let me string your bow...
I-I'll allow it!
Thank you!

What? You don't need to do that.
You want to, don't you?
D-Don't touch me!
Oh, fine.
I guess I'll use this to test the skill I gained on level up.

Huh?
Is its accuracy low?
Wh-What is this?
Wh-What was that?
Uh, I... I was in the archery club.
That's right.
Okay, I'll handle the rest.
She accepted that?
More enemies!
Seika-san, cover me!
You can count on me!
Whoa...
Here it comes.
Fall, fall, fall!
Fall, damn it!
You're firing too many shots.
Maybe we should handle this.
O-Okay.
It's fine. I know I'm useless.
She ran out of arrows already?

Hey, there are items on the ground!
Come on! Fall, fall, fall!
That was pointless.
All right! That's all of them.
Now we can finally head to town.
We did it, everyone!
Yeah, we did!
I guess I can head to town with them.
Whoops!
Are you all right?
Iria.
Looks like the map was right.
I'm starving.
We did walk pretty far.
Look at that.
They've got hamburgers in this world, too.
That's the delicious smell of fries.
Let's go!
They're not bad people, but this is goodbye.
Anyway, I sure am hungry.
I'd like to acquire food somehow.
You're alone, too, huh?
Whoa.
Lose 10% HP every second I directly touch a girl's skin
You're not female, are you?
Hey, Shigeru-san the broke.
A-Are you all right?
Uh, yeah. I'm fine.
Anyway, Shigeru-san, what do you think this is?
It's a hamburger.
You gave away the answer.
It's huge. I bet it's good.
Right?
She looks so smug.
Here.
For stringing my bow earlier.
Accept it with gratitude.
Is Seika-san more conscientious than she looks?
You're hungry, right?
Since you're broke, there's no need to be shy.
You don't have to call me broke.
But that teriyaki sauce smells delicious.
58 trillion damage!
Even by a rough calculation, that would kill the populations of 300 Earths!
How cruel...
You're the cruel one, you goddess of destruction.
I went out of my way to buy that for you.
It wasn't on purpose.
I'll show her the sincerity that once made me the top salesman.
I'm sorry.
You're just so beautiful that it made my hands shake.
What?
I'll gratefully accept this.
But it's dirty!
It's fine.
When I was a salaryman, my motto was making people smile.
I never let people down.
I used every resource I could to achieve that.
Don't eat that!
I'll give you this one.
Sorry I'm so pretty.
She's not denying it.
But isn't this your food?
It's fine. After all, I'm rich.
But...
Shigeru-san, you not only strung my bow
but found arrows and secretly gave them to me, didn't you?
So she noticed.
I thought she was a sheltered girl who didn't know anything.
Thanks.
Looks like I owe her now.
I guess I'll stay by paying her back first.
There you are.
Shigeru-san, over here.
I'll go solo after that.
