Web Novel
Differences from the original web edition:


 * In the web novel (WN), Self-Modifying was a skill Teacher received at the start that was not given in the light novel (LN).


 * There are differences in the stats and levels the goblins who first approach Teacher have. In addition, this applies to basically all monsters they encounter. Usually, the MP is typically higher in the LN.
 * Teacher also obtains another skill named Hawkeye upon vanquishing the Air Floater in the LN.
 * The events of day five in the WN happen on day four.
 * In the LN, Teacher decided to go on a goblin hunt, but upon finding a lower amount than expected, decides to follow one to find their den. In the end, he was not lead to any goblin nest even after 2 days so he tries a tactic on a group. In the WN, he just follows a goblin to exterminate them.
 * Statuses are shortened where able, while appearing less often, compared to the WN.
 * The next perspective after testing newly-obtained magic came four days after, while in the WN it was ten. In the LN he encounters a group of slimes, a Cannon Tortoise, and a Flare Leopard, too - something not described in the WN.
 * The Evolution part of the status is a separate section.
 * Teacher's change in perspective at 10 days stuck in the magic-sealing ground is not shown. Instead, it skips straight to the one month perspective.
 * "Level Max" is changed to "Level 10".
 * Slaves are bound by paper contracts instead of Contract Magic.
 * Rather than Gorudo or Golde, Gold is "Gold" or "G".
 * Randell also provides information about ranks upon the first encounter.
