Naofumi, by suggestion from Main buy a chain mail, and new equipment for Mein. Naofumi then goes to purchase new equipments but he then learned he couldn't equip weapon, making him even more hopeless for an offensive. The King gave Naofumi 800 gold to recruit new talent, while the others only received 600 gold. In the end, one girl, Mein Sufi from Motoyasu party joined him.

The King explained that there are rumor about Naofumi being an amateur than the rest (apparently someone is eavesdropping on the heroes chat yesterday) making him even more unpopular. They are required to travel separately from other heroes, therefore several people from the castle will join them in their adventure as party members. The next day, They gathered in front of the King. The other three ridicule him a bit, saying that Shield class is unpopular, loser class that only has good defense at start but later on will hard to catch up with others. Itsuki only play consumer game but at least has basic understanding, only Naofumi who has very little knowledge, therefore, making him an amateur. Ren and Motoyasu added that this world system are somehow similar to the game in their world (Their world already embraced the VRMMO technology). They each agreed that this world are really game-alike. After that they each talked a bit about themselves. Naofumi found that they weapon are equipped with Help function (Tutorial, glossary, etc) and Translation function (Automatic translation of this world language by speaking and listening, not writing).

The King then told them to rest, and they go to the guest room, checking and learning about their weapon. The king also explain about Status Magic, a magic in this world which enabled people to check their own status. They cannot return to their world unless they finish the task of saving the world. After that, the King, Orto Clay Merulomarg, explained that the 4 heroes are summoned to repel the calamity that threaten the kingdom of Merulomarg. They are summoned from japan, albeit different world with the world Ren, Motoyasu and Itsuki came from are far more advanced in technology than where Naofumi came from. Typical unsociable otaku, but friendlier and easygoing. Iwatani Naofumi - Hero of Shield, 20 years old, University student. Kawasumi Itsuki - Hero of Bow, 17 years old, High-school student. Kitamura Motoyasu - Hero of Spear, 21 years old, University student. Bishounen (more to the girly type) and cool. The story starts with 4 people from different world summoned there to become heroes, they are:Īmagi Ren - Hero of Sword, 16 years old, High-school student. Starting from zero, he will gather party members and unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?) to him, lots of party member he gained are female. There are others that I might failed to remember or notice but could be used as a point of similarities for both series. But in this series, it is in another world that works like game. Both world are set in a medieval world.

Both started from the lowest start, and during their journey it is full of boos and jeers from the other, but thanks to their protagonist luck and hard work, they slowly crawl up, and other people start to see them in a different light. In Naofumi case, it's the restriction on Shield Hero class, he can't use weapons and thus, can only defend. In Weed case, it's Sculptor class-type which is unsuitable for fight. Both has crappy class that's very weak at start but grows awesome utilizing menial skills (cooking, production skills, etc). Both are hard-working, and focused too much on the practical things that they can be a jerk to other people (cold-hearted, for example) but inside their heart, they're actually very kind. In Weed case, it is greed to gather as much money to become success once more (and for his family as well) In Naofumi case, it is wrath to exact revenge and be more successful than the other heroes (also so that he can comeback to his world). Both has a certain dark side to them that stems from certain trauma, and this dark side will become the driving force behind their growth and goal.
