Synopsis of Arifureta Shokugyou by Sekai Saikyou
High school student Hajime Nagumo is bullied by his classmates for being a partner with the school's idol, Kaori. When he and the rest of the class are transported to a fantastical world, all of his companions are given powerful magical abilities, while Hajime only gains basic alchemy magic to transmute solid materials, a common occurrence of blacksmiths. During a raid on a dungeon, he is betrayed by one of his companions and thrown to the bottom of it. Hajime survives the fall and begins to craft weapons to escape the dungeon and become stronger. On his way, he meets the vampire Yue, and is later joined by the rabbit-eared girl Shea, the perverted dragon Tio, and others.
