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