Karate Survivor in Another World

At thirty-four, Nozaki Hitoshi's ordinary life ends beneath the wheels of a truck—only for a dismissive god to hurl his soul into a fantasy realm, dropping him bare and helpless into a hostile wilderness. Stripped of everything, even the clothes from his back, Hitoshi's sole assets are a newly granted karate skill and the hardened survival instincts of a grown man with no intention of giving up. Rather than despair, he adapts. Hitoshi weaves makeshift garments from tree bark, cautiously samples unfamiliar fruit to learn which are poisonous, and drags himself through the mud to test his punches and kicks against goblins and the other creatures stalking the wilds. Every hard-fought encounter allows him to level up, gradually turning his martial arts into a force capable of challenging this world's blades and magic alike. Yet no amount of strength can dispel the loneliness. However powerful he becomes, what Hitoshi truly craves is to find other people—fellow humans who might ease the crushing solitude of his new existence. A gripping survival fantasy in which raw karate technique collides head-on with swords and sorcery in another world!
