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