In this primitive world, where would such a thing exist?
Even the widely unemployed in South Korea.
They live a life more peaceful than the kings of this world.
When you fall, there are restaurants filled with all kinds of food within arm’s reach, and even if you turn on the faucet, hot water pours out.
When you connect to the network through your smartphone, you have all kinds of things to enjoy, such as movies, dramas, novels, and more, and everyone has a soft and clean bedroom.
If it were someone else who was pulled into this world, other than myself, they would have trembled in the life of Ardania. Dreaming of hamburgers and cola, they would have suffered in the unsanitary public restrooms and spent sleepless nights in tears, in this medieval land, while burning their evils, but I am different. Because here… I could truly be [me].
Kukugugung!
“What… an earthquake?”
Surprised by the unexpected vibration, I bow down my body. Flowers that were waiting outside the terrace rush in.
“My lord! Are you alright?”
“Yes, I’m fine. By the way, what’s happening…”
Kukugung!
Once again, the ground trembles. I sense the epicenter and turn my head.
And I see it.
“What is this…?”
The peaceable garden right next to Yeongju Castle begins to distort.
Yes. It literally twisted.
Gogogo-!
The dimension itself twists and the peaceful garden disappears.
And then, right after.
Flash!
The distorted space turns into a pillar of light and pierces the sky.

“What is this… a dungeon?”
My mouth involuntarily opens at this unexpected situation. What kind of nonsense is this?
This…
This is just like…
“Something that would come out of a game…”
I am dumbfounded by the sight as the pillar of light expands its area.
“Watch out! The buildings are collapsing!”
“Oh no! The ground is shifting!”
The people in the territory scream and scatter in all directions.
And from behind the pillar of light.
“Oh~~~rororororo-!”
“Ough! Ha! Balkan!”
Monsters with giant bodies and green skin appear.
Kwaduk!
A reasonably realistic iron axe strikes the heads of the people in the territory, and the lifeless bodies flop to the ground without even a scream.
“…Orcs? Really orcs?”
I blink in disbelief.
Ardania Continent is a fantasy place, of course. A world with mineral veins and magic, aura, and demons.
But orcs?
Thud!
I jump out of the terrace. I couldn’t just stand by and watch as those crazy green monsters killed my people.
But even as I rush, confusion fills my mind.
“It’s not a game… what kind of orcs are these? There weren’t any signs until now… No, what kind of game is this? Should I log out?”
In the midst of my astonishment.
The world freezes.
“Huh?”
And then, my consciousness goes skyward.
Up.
To.
The.
Sky.
“…!”
Trembling, I sit up. Fortunately, I didn’t scream, but the nearby guards respond to the violent movement.
“Did you have a nightmare, Commander?”
“…”
I stare at the dumbfounded guard with a blank expression.
In my early twenties.
A familiar face, but I can’t remember the name. Of course not. It’s been 20 years since I last saw this face.
“Why do you look like that? Well, you were born in District 34, right, Commander? I guess there’s nothing good about being discharged from the military.”
“What year is it now?”
“Are you not fully awake?”
“How many years?”
As my voice lowers, the guard furrows his brow and answers.
“It’s 2089. How many years? Did you dream of being a private? Like it was 2087 in your dream?”
I feel short of breath at the nonchalant voice.
“….Crazy.”
I’ve always thought about it.
That one day, I might be unexpectedly brought back to this world, just as I was unexpectedly pulled into another realm.
But… even so, to have lived 20 years in Ardania and return as if not even a day had passed.
No, not even a day had passed, but maybe not even a minute or a second.
“What did I do? Did I say I should log out?”
“Commander?”
Ignoring the bewildered guard, I mumble to myself,
“Then the opposite would be… log in?”
The moment the words leave my mouth.
The world changes.
“Ahh! Run away!”
“Aah! Please help us!”
The pouring orcs are striking down the people in the territory with their axes. Blood spurts and flesh falls.
I run towards that place and groan.
“What is this nonsense…?”
I draw the bastard sword with a gem embedded in it and shout,
“What kind of nonsense is this!”
