What Was The First Isekai Novels & Stories

Yamato didn't know when he joined Orie in the suspicious laugh. Meanwhile, Mia had just opened her eyes for the first time since she fell unconscious. She looked up to see a figure standing before her, and the first word she uttered was "GENJI" SHIN SEKAI SECRET: there aren't many people that know the actual owner of the SHIN SEKAI company. Some believe that the information is hidden with magic.

So this was a rather strange development for her. There were very few isekai protagonists who had access to both their old world and the new one. She remembered one of them. It was about the Japanese Self-Defense Forces fighting off an invading medieval army that had poured out of portals. It was enjoyable, but too nationalistic for her tastes. Her thoughts turned towards her beloved manga, and wondered if she could get copies of the newest books, somehow. Excitement coursed through her. “What else happened? Tell me more!” she exclaimed.

Evy could remember the time she first had receives someone’s present. It wasn’t anything shiny. It wasn’t expensive. It wasn’t food. And it wasn’t an object. Her first-ever gift was actually a knife wound. As grave, as she puts it, it was actually her most treasure one. Back when she was in the streets, pulling up cans and metal wire just to sell, and having to run errands to make small changes, she met a splendid crazy old man.

Kalina looked at him sadly. Elard noticed the change in her expression and said, “I’d gladly die for you.” His answer made Kalina’s eyes widen. She denied her own feelings. If she remembered what Gavin had once said when the shifter was in her world as the Eagle, then the death of the Elard in Nigella and the fall of the kingdom had already happened. Yet fate had pulled Kalina into isekai, into another world a Kingdom of Nigella that didn’t exist in any record. There was no trace of it in history. If it had been real, there should’ve been records left behind, at least a few articles, considering how grand and extraordinary that kingdom was.
