One day, Hibiki Manabe, an ordinary high school boy, is suddenly transported to a vast grassland in another world where monsters lurk. Wandering aimlessly through this fantasy world he’s never seen before, Hibiki suddenly realizes he has been given the skill of “Appraisal” and the occupation “Appraiser (provisional title)”… (Temporary)…!?
And so, with the guidance of Emalia, a blonde elf he met in the grasslands, Hibiki becomes an adventurer. Together with Claude, a cursed beastman, Lillian, a sage from the future, and Vene, a sacred white cat beast, he gradually grows stronger as he searches for a way to return to his original world.
Will he be able to return safely? And will the day come when he truly becomes the strongest, as the title suggests!?
