"The Man Picked Up by the Gods," written by Roy, is a reincarnation-themed light novel series first published in 2014 on the novel submission website "Let's Become a Novelist." It's a so-called Narou-style work. The manga is published by Square Enix, and an anime adaptation is scheduled to air in October 2020. Takebayashi Ryoma, a middle-aged man, works at a black company, where he's constantly overwhelmed by work. He barely has time off, and he doesn't even eat a proper meal. "What is my purpose in life?" Ryoma wonders this, but one day, he wakes up to find three gods before him. Ryoma suddenly dies, but surprisingly, he accepts this reality and is reincarnated into another world. With a mission to live in another world, he is endowed with magical powers and sets off on a journey. It's common knowledge that the protagonist in an isekai reincarnation story has superhuman abilities, but today I'd like to introduce you to this incredible ability.
The Sense of One-Try Taming
Ryuma was skilled in martial arts in his previous life and had a strong physique, so his physical abilities after reincarnation were all at a master level. God granted him the ability to use magic, but since magic didn't exist in his previous life, he naturally never used it. As a result, all of his magic-related abilities are at level 1. Despite this, he can tame a monster in one go after reading a book, giving us a glimpse of his magical talent. Because he doesn't limit himself to one attribute but uses all of them, he's warned against being a jack of all trades and master of none, but with his talent, he'll likely be able to master them all.
Ryuma Makes His Own Potions
When Ryoma encounters Reinhard and his friends, he shares a potion for the injured Hughes. Kamil promises to thank him, but Ryoma replies that he can make as many as he wants and not to worry. Reinhard and his friends are surprised that he can make potions of the same quality as those sold in town. He was also surprised that when he invited them into his home, he removed the barrier and concealed it with a magical barrier.
Ryuma's Toughness and Mental Strength
Reinhard and his friends were amazed by the extraordinary nature of Ryoma's abilities when they saw them through a small crystal. What surprised them most was that his "Mental Pain Tolerance" was level 9 and his "Physical Pain Tolerance" was level 8. Generally, stats of level 6 or above are considered master-level. His levels of 8 and 9 far exceeded those. Why did a child like Ryoma have such high pain tolerance? Having lived alone in the forest for three years, Reinhard and his friends mistakenly believe that Ryoma must have been living in an incredibly harsh environment. In reality, he was trained in martial arts and worked for a black company, and is actually a grown-up middle-aged man inside (lol).
The Jamir Family's Unnecessary Worry
Ryuma's abnormal pain tolerance is well known within the Jamir family, leading them to mistakenly believe that he grew up in an incredibly harsh environment. Elise and Eliaria, in particular, care deeply for Ryoma, almost to the point of being overprotective.
Ryuma had unknowingly unraveled the mystery of familiars.
Reinhard and the others are surprised to see Ryoma with a big slime at his command. It's said that big slimes and some higher-level slimes cannot be used to form familiar contracts. This mystery has been studied throughout the history of familiars for a long time, but it remains a mystery. A big slime is a group of 100 to 500 slimes, while a group of 500 or more is called a huge slime. Since a Familiar contract requires only one slime at a time, making a Familiar contract with a Big Slime or a Huge Slime would be impossible, since it would require making a contract with multiple slimes at once. While Ryuma discovered this by chance while researching slimes, it was a major discovery in the world of Familiar Magic, and Reinbach and his team suggested that he register it with the guild and announce it. Ryuma's not only magical and combat skills, but his intelligence is also beyond impressive.
This is the power of a Level 10 in Housekeeping
Ryuma welcomes the Jamir family to his home. He prepares a dish inspired by shogayaki (ginger pork). Everyone is astonished by how delicious it is, but it falls far short of the real thing. Perhaps seasonings are less developed than in Ryoma's world. Even his messenger was curious as to how Ryoma, whose housekeeping level is 10, made it.
He can even use alchemy!!
Ryuma explains that he harvested rock salt from the cliffs, but Reinhardt says that rock salt harvested in the forest is poisonous. However, Ryoma was aware of this and used alchemy to remove the toxins. Alchemy is often shrouded in mystery, and its true nature is not well understood. The group dislikes alchemy, seeing it as merely an excuse for fraud. However, they are surprised to learn that it can be used to refine rock salt, and they show understanding for Ryoma's alchemy.
Ryuma's Magic Skill Status
Ryuma's magical power is an impressive 198,800. Having a lot of magical power is of course an advantage, but having too much can have the disadvantage of making it difficult to control and master magic. In terms of magical power alone, Eliaria has around 200,000, which is more than Ryoma. However, as I mentioned earlier, it is difficult to control that much magical power, and Eliaria is unable to use magic effectively. What is amazing about Ryoma is not only the amount of magical power he possesses, but also the fact that he is able to control it and use so many spells.
