Storyline:
Takumi Iruma is accidentally summoned to another world. As compensation for the mix-up, a goddess offers him the right to choose any ability he wishes!
Hoping for a peaceful life that has nothing to do with fighting, he chooses a seemingly boring creation ability. However, it turns out that “Alchemy” is the most powerful option he could have chosen.
