Some Life!

What Happened?!

[Opening scene: Busy Tokyo street, cherry blossoms falling]

Protagonist Hiroshi: (Walking, lost in thought) Another failed interview... Maybe I should just give up and become a NEET.

[Screeching tires, a truck veers towards him]

Hiroshi: Huh? Oh no, a tru— Wait, is that "Isekai Express" written on the side?!

[Blackness, then a swirling ethereal space filled with stars and nebulae]

Goddess Celestia: (Appearing in radiant light, her hair flowing with cosmic energy) Greetings, mortal. Your journey in your world has reached an untimely end.

Hiroshi: (Looking around in awe) Wow, this is some next-level VR... Wait, am I actually dead?

Celestia: Indeed. But fear not, for I have chosen you for a greater purpose.

Hiroshi: (Sarcastically) Let me guess, I've been selected as the chosen one to save another world?

Celestia: (Smiling mysteriously) Your perception serves you well. In the realm of Eternia, you shall become a beacon of hope. A hero with unimaginable power.

Hiroshi: (Sighing) Great, just what every unemployed today-year-old dreams of... 

Celestia: With great power comes great responsibility, Hiroshi.

Hiroshi: You stole that straight out of Spider-Ma—

Celestia: (Continuing as if uninterrupted) The village of Meadowbrook needs you. Its people suffer under the tyranny of a fearsome monster that plagues their lands.

Hiroshi: Wait, just one village? Not the whole world? That's... oddly specific.

Celestia: (Chuckling) One step at a time, young hero. Even the mightiest of quests begin with a single stride.

Hiroshi: Fine, I'll bite. What's my cheat ability? An infinite inventory? Maybe a harem-attracting pheromone?

Celestia: (Sighing) You'll have the power to manipulate the five elements: fire, water, earth, air, and spirit. That's more than sufficient for your journey.

Hiroshi: Alright, alright. Isekai me, O great Truck-sama... I mean, Goddess Celestia.

Celestia: (Touching his forehead) May your heart remain true, and your wit... slightly less sharp.

Hiroshi: I hope this world has good Wi-Fiiiiii!

[Blinding light engulfs everything, swirling colors and sensations overwhelm Hiroshi]

[Fade in: A dim, musty cave. Hiroshi lying on the ground, groaning]

Hiroshi: (Groggy) Ugh... my head. Did anyone get the license plate of that interdimensional truck?

[He sits up, looking around the cave. Strange, glowing crystals provide minimal light]

Hiroshi: (Checking himself) Well, at least I'm not reincarnated as a slime... though that might have been cooler.

[Loud snorting sounds echo through the cave. Two massive, tusked boars with glowing red eyes emerge from the shadows]

Hiroshi: (Eyes widening in terror) AAAAAHHHHH! DEMON BACON! WHERE'S MY STARTING WEAPON?!

[Instinctively raises hands, accidental fire and air slashes cut through both boars]

Hiroshi: (Staring at hands, shocked) Did I just... Kamehameha those pigs? With fire and wind?!
