Kazuma gasped for air as he tried to catch his breath, the day had started so well, it was a bright and sunny day, the kind of day that made him either stay inside and not leave his room or just pass the time in town just watching the people pass him by.
Of course, that meant that he was bored, so he decided to see what everyone else was doing, and as usual, Meguming had gone off to do her usual explosions for the day and Aqua was hiding something from him.
Normally this wouldn't have been out of the ordinary, but the fact that Wiz was with her and was acting equally as suspicious made him try and stop Aqua from buying something that was only going to cause trouble for him.
"Alright what did you buy," Kazuma said to Aqua who hid something behind her back
"What do you mean I didn't buy anything," Aqua said to him
Kazuma turned to look at Wiz who was doing everything she could to not make eye contact with him.
"Wiz, what did you sell her?' He asked Wiz who turned away and pretended that she didn't hear him.
Kazuma looked at Wiz and briefly considered leaving the two of them alone, the fact that Wiz was acting this way meant that she was probably behind on her rent and needed to make money fast and so she managed to get Aqua to buy something expensive from her.
He decided that since it was Wiz and she normally didn't mean to cause problems for anyone, so against his better judgment he decided that he wouldn't make Aqua give it back, but he was still curious so he just lowered his head and raised his hand.
'Steal" Kazuma said causing Wiz to immediately scream and slap him before he could see what he managed to get.
"Look I won't make you give it back, I'm bored so can I see what you bought," Kazuma said to Aqua who turned to look at Wiz who eagerly nodded.
"It's a world sphere, if I flip the switch a portal to another world opens," Aqua said to Kazuma
Kazuma felt his instincts screaming the sphere was dangerous, the fact that Wiz was selling the thing plus the fact that Aqua was the one that bought it screamed of problems.
"Look it works like this" Wiz said to him as she flipped the switch and opened a portal behind him, Kazuma was instantly sucked into the portal before he could do anything
Kazuma didn't think about anything as he drifted down the long tunnel that he was currently falling through, after all, it had been his fault.
It was because he was bored that he decided to see what everyone else was doing, and he could have just left the two idiots alone to deal with the sphere and it would have been them, that were falling through the tunnel, but no he just had to see what Wiz sold to Aqua.
He began to feel the cold air on his back and he soon noticed that he was falling faster and the tunnel was getting smaller.
Then he found himself falling from the sky, he would have normally panicked, but not this time, after all, all of this was his fault.
He should have just left Aqua and Wiz alone.
What happened next was a mixture of pure dumb luck and... no it was just dumb luck.
He ended up hitting one of the giant trees, falling off a couple of its giant branches, hitting a tiger, and bouncing off a gorilla's back before he hit the ground.
"Where am I?" Kazuma said to himself as he looked around, he knew that it was some kind of forest but he didn't recognize it
He soon began to hear a pair of loud grows and roars and the only reason he managed to dodge the gorilla and tiger that were fighting each other was because of his evasion skill.
The two animals were giant even compared to the ones he had seen before and because Aqua wasn't in this world yet, he decided that it was better to run away before he died.
He walked for what felt like hours, but after a while, he gave up and decided to climb up a tree and use his clairvoyance to see if there were any towns or villages near y.
He found one but it was far from his location meaning that he was going to have t rely on his skills and whatever weapons he had on him.
Living in Eris's world made him constantly carry around his adventurer gear so he had nearly everything that he needed, the problem would be if he ran into anyone a lot more powerful than he was and had time to spare.
He was forced to use the create trap skill to catch and kill whatever weak animals he found when he got hungry.
After collecting whatever dry wood he found he used tinder to start a fire and cook the animals after gutting them and taking off their fur or feathers.
He used to create water to drink water whenever he got thirsty and both his escape and evasion skills helped him avoid any people or animals that wanted to hurt him.
He finally managed to reach the town and found it was nothing more than a bunch of ruins, he was about to leave when he heard what sounded like a piglet.
He wasn't hungry right now and that meant that he would be hungry later so he decided to catch the thing so he could eat it later.
He got closer and close to the piglet's sound, but when he saw the thing he found that it was wearing a red shirt and pearls around its neck, meaning that it was someone's pet.
Kazuma decided that it was better if he left it alone.
This was the middle of nowhere and if there were people around that meant that they weren't planning anything good, but before he could leave he felt something hit the back of his neck and the world went dark.

Far from this world Aqua and Wiz looked at the timmer on the sphere, the sphere would pull Kazuma back when it hit zero.
Normally this wouldn't be a problem, and that was the case except for one thing, the sphere wouldn't bring a person back if they died in the world and Kazuma died a lot.

Tsunade and Shizune looked at the kid that had managed to sneak up on them, well he didn't sneak up on them but he was trying to catch Tonton, but that was equally as bad.
No one tried to eat their friends and got away with it.
"So did you find anything?" Tsunade asked Shizune who was looking through everything that Kazuma had on him.
"Nothing, everything that he has is worn out and he doesn't have a headband. I think he was just lost" Shizune answered her as she looked down at Kazuma
"No wonder he tried to eat Tonton, well we can't just leave the kid here," Tsunade said to Shizune as picked Kazuma up and tossed him on her shoulder before quickly heading towards a nearby village.
When she arrived she gently laid Kazuma on a patch of grass and Shizune who had caught up to them put all of Kazumas things next to him.
"You'll thank me later," Tsunade said to Kazuma as she silently promised herself to come back and check upon him.
Kids like him didn't live long outside of any of the cities and villages, so the best thing she could do was leave him in a village that had friendly people in it.
Kazuma opened his eyes when he was sure that the two crazy women were gone, he managed to wake up when the blond one was carrying him, but considering how fast she was moving, he decide to play dead.
Especially after noticing something that completely threw him off.
All of this time, he had seen plants- fruits- bugs, and animals that were bigger than they should be, but he was completely wrong.
It was only when he noticed how small his hand was when compared to the blond woman's back that he realized that he was younger now, a lot younger and that was bad.
He quickly grabbed his things and began to look for anything that could show him his reflection, he soon found what he was looking for and then he nearly felt his heart stop, he was seven years old again.
"Oh I am going to get them back for this" Kazuma said to himself as he started to walk away from the village
He soon left the village behind and when he found a tree that looked safe enough to sleep under, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
He never knew when a group of men found him or when they carried him back to the village. but when he opened his eyes he found himself in a house filled with people.
"Sure why not, they look friendly enough," Kazuma said to himself before laying back down and going back to sleep
