arifureta (male reader)

In this alternate universe of Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest, Hajime Nagumo never existed. Instead, Y/N L/N takes his place as the story's protagonist, with the world's history naturally adjusting as though Y/N had always been there.
At 18 years old, Y/N is a 6'2", 200-pound young man with an athletic build. Before tragedy strikes, he is known throughout his class as someone who is kind, caring, calm, friendly, and dependable. He always puts others before himself, protects his friends whenever possible, and believes that everyone deserves a chance regardless of who they are. His compassion and unwavering loyalty earn him the trust of nearly everyone around him.
Unlike the original story, Y/N is already an exceptionally gifted individual before being summoned. His talents include the rare Transmute skill, allowing him to reshape inorganic matter into weapons, armor, tools, and countless other creations, along with the Swordmaster ability, granting him extraordinary mastery over the blade. Hidden deep within him lies a mysterious third ability, one that remains completely locked and whose true power has yet to awaken.Although Y/N begins his journey as someone who wholeheartedly believes in friendship and teamwork, fate has other plans. The betrayal waiting for him in the Great Orcus Labyrinth will become the turning point that changes not only his life, but the future of Tortus itself. How that betrayal shapes him-and what lies behind his mysterious locked ability-remains to be seen.
