★★Where is this place?★★
She covered her face with her palms, crinkling her brow from the sunlight stinging her eyes.
“Mmm.”
Every time she moved her face, she heard a rustle. The book under her face moved with a noise. Only then did Yoojeong wake up, yawning.
“Haa, did I fall asleep on the sofa?”
She closed the book that had been open until then, remembering that she had barely fallen asleep after reading the last chapter.
“It was quite fun, but…”
It was fun because the male lead was attractive, but from Yoojeong’s point of view, it was even more regrettable.
“In the end, it ended without him being able to eat delicious food properly.”
The main character, who became a tyrant only for revenge, hated food until the end.
“Tsk tsk, it’s all because of that stepmother.”
Reciting her belated impressions, she searched for her cell phone. When she couldn’t find her phone, which she thought she had taken out, she searched around for her bag.
“What, so I didn’t even take it out.”
Yoojeong’s eyes widened as big as a lamp as she muttered while opening the screen.
“What…”
Only then did she check the time and was stunned to see her missed stamp. She was the one who made the reservation this morning.
“Uh, uh, uah!”
She screamed quite a bit and hurriedly changed her clothes. Yoojeong didn’t even have the mind to wash up. She took out the clothes she had worn yesterday, put them on again and jumped out.
Tug, tilolong.
Yoojeong, who was already stepping on the stairs at the sound of the door closing, stepped on something soft. Her body whirled around as she heard a strange ‘kugh’.
Really, it was just a moment.
It reminded her of the car accident that was unavoidable then. Her body fell down the narrow and steep stairs and rolled into a strange shape.
Cheolpeok. (Thud)
She hit something and her body stopped. Until then, her mind was blank, but she struggled to lift her eyelids.
“Uh…”
Feeling the hot blood covering one eye, she burst out in her heart. In her delirious state, something flew over her eyes. It was like a bird and also like a butterfly. Looking at the cute and beautiful blue-purple creature, Yoojeong thought that she was already dead.
‘-, —-! — —-!’
Her eyes slowly closed as she stared at the creature that was chattering on her face.
‘–!’
That was her last memory.
And now, Yoojeong opened her eyes at a place she had never seen before and was in a state of panic. Her whole body groaned as if she fell down the stairs.
“Uuh.”
Yoojeong struggled as she removed the countless branches covering her body.
“This, what is this again?”
She removed so much that it seemed like there’s no end.
Ureureu. (rumble)
Yoojeong, who was annoyed after cleaning up with her hands, jumped up. Wuduk (crunch), it made a sound and creaked as if it wasn’t her own body, but it moved well as she made sure there weren’t any injuries.
“Huu.”
She slowly opened her eyes and turned her neck.
And looked around her.
In the middle of an unfamiliar dense forest, Yoojeong opened her mouth wide and eyes wide enough to make her eyeballs pop out. Throwing her head up, she looked at the trees towering endlessly.
She clearly remembered stepping on something soft on the stairs of her house and rolling down, and then hitting her head.
“What’s this?”
She closed and opened her eyes again. It was still the same place. Yoojeong jumped up in a situation where even a ghost would jump up and down.
“What is this!”
A mess of corpses was rolling around her, which she hadn’t noticed before.
“Ueg.”
She vomited right away and regurgitated what she ate. It was a really strange feeling. Regurgitating her gastric juice was something that was impossible by her standards.
It seems that she hasn’t eaten for several days and all that comes out is gastric juice.
Strength continued to drain from her body.
Teolsseok. (Thud)
She barely held onto a wooden pole and struggled. She couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on, so she just slowly blinked her eyes.
Dagdak, dagdak. (Clip-clop)
She was so shocked that she couldn’t even budge, and through her ears, she heard the cry and sound of horse’s hooves.
Hihin!
Her shoulders jumped in surprise at the sound of a horse neighing right next to her.
“There are survivors here, Captain!”
Hearing the male voice, she raised her lowered head. A man with red hair and red eyes, whom she had never seen before, was running towards her, driving people behind him.
The man next to her also had strangely colored hair. The light blue-eyed man stretched out his hand to her.
“Are you okay? You managed to survive. May the blessings of God be with you.”
In a daze, she grabbed the outstretched hand. Knowing nothing, she instinctively felt it.
Let’s accept the good intentions very gratefully.
Hihiin!
The red-haired man stopped right in front of her and got off. He then looked at her and said.
“Looks like a magician. But her hair color and eyes are the first colors I’ve ever seen. Then you wouldn’t be an offensive mage… why did you come here?”
“Yes? A magician?”
Yoojeong’s eyes widened as she couldn’t believe what she had heard. The man, who had been watching her closely, nodded roughly and said.
“You must have hurt your head.”
“There were sometimes people like this.”
A man with light blue hair listened to him.
“Yes, but it will return to normal in a few days, so we’ll take her back for now.”
“Yes, Captain!”
The red-haired man quickly mounted his horse again and reached out to Yoojeong. Grabbing his hand without thinking, he pulled her lightly and carried her in front of him.
“Uh uh!”
The action was so smooth and natural even though it was Yoojeong’s first time riding a horse.
“There’s nothing else to say, so please bear with it even if it’s uncomfortable.”
As soon as he finished, the man grabbed the reins and kicked the horse’s butt with his foot.
“Hiya, let’s return!”
“Yes!”
On top of the fast running horse, Yoojeong bit her lip at the unbearable pain.
The ride was very uncomfortable, more than she thought.
“Euk.”
Feeling her tailbone whine, she shed tears. The group arrived at a castle-like place very quickly. They greeted the others and the gates opened.
“We welcome the safe return of the Nakri mercenaries!”
The gatekeeper greeted them with a salute. The red-haired man lightly responded and entered the castle leisurely. Following that, the other mercenaries also rushed in. Not only the gatekeepers, but also the villagers threw a word as they passed by.
“How many have you killed this time? Did a giant monster appear?”
“Waa! The Nakri mercenaries.”
The chattering voices of the people made her ears ring, but Yoojeong couldn’t even think of anything. She concentrated on seeing things for the first time in her life and kept moistening her dry lips with her tongue.
Looking around, this wasn’t the world she knew.
She confirmed it by turning her head as if she was watching a movie from the Middle Ages. The road made of stones, the horses and carriages that run fast on it, the clothes people wear, the unfamiliar hair color and other things. Not one thing is different but everything is different, so she could tell even without others saying ‘this is absolutely not Korea!’.
Hihin.
In an instant, her body floated.
“Ack.”
She let out a suppressed scream in surprise, but the shock didn’t come. The red-haired man grabbed her by the waist and jumped off the horse. The man grabbed her and spurred her into the first building she could see. A man sitting at a desk inside the building checked the face of the person entering and smiled brightly.
“Who is this, what is the Nakri Mercenary Leader doing here?”
The red-haired man, Ethan, who strode in wildly, put her down in front of the man sitting at the desk, frowned, and spoke ferociously.
“Looks like you’re the only one who would do something like this. Sending a magician who can’t even attack properly to the mercenary squad?”
As he spoke, he pushed her back lightly, pushing Yoojeong out. Duke, who was sitting behind the desk, checked her face and wrinkled his brow.
“Is it wrong for me to give her a job when she said it’s difficult to make ends meet? This bitch’s stupidity for not handling her own affairs properly is her fault.”
“Ha!”
He knew that mercenaries are popular and profitable because of the monster subjugation, but it’s a problem because sometimes, there are people who value money over people’s lives. Yoojeong became a mute who drank honey because she had no way of knowing what they were talking about. Duke told her with a sneer.
“Look, magician. You told me that you can also use attack magic. But, ha…”
Duke said sarcastically, unpleasantly looking at her from head to toe.
“As you can see, it seems that she came back from the dead. This, only the mercenary group I introduced will do a very big job. Even accepting a magician who is not helpful at all.”
Kuang! (bang!)
Ethan slammed the desk with his foot and murmured gloomily.
“Yes, you know, but you still attached her to the mercenary corps, right? Seeing that they took her even after seeing her hair color and eye color, those mercenaries must have been dirty guys like you.”
Duke frowned at Ethan’s words.
“Hey, even if you’re the leader of the Nakri mercenaries, it’s kind of hard for me to just stay still when you came out so rude. But I can’t look bad in front of my subordinates…right? Let’s just solve it nicely.”
“Rotten bastard. You who sent her knowing that she’d be a meat shield, and the filthy and sloppy mercenary bastards who took a thin woman with the intention of using her as a shield, are the ones fooling around.”
“What!”
Duke, who had been sitting until then, jumped up from his seat and shouted. Ethan didn’t blink an eye and smiled as he placed a hand on the handle of his sword.
“Why? Shall we have a match?”
Seeing his size suitable for a swordsman and his ferocious muscles wriggling, Duke twitched his protruding belly fat and immediately lowered his eyes.
“Ah, why is it like this? I’m not a bodybuilder. I use my head, my head.”
Ethan felt even deeper disgust at the sight of his tail coming down on a single sword.
“Anyway, it’s true that this woman came back from work, so you should pay the price, right?”
At Ethan’s words, Duke wrinkled his face with a confused expression.
“Hey, doesn’t she have a mouth? Why aren’t you talking since earlier? Would life be so much easier if you left it to someone else?”
While grunting, he opened a drawer and took out a pocket full of money. However, he opened the pouch and took out two silver coins, saying that he wouldn’t give more even if he died.
“This is like the brokerage fee. Or the introductory fee? You know?”
Duke said, looking at Ethan, who was standing next to Yoojeong rather than her. Yoojeong thought that the scene taking place was like a scene from a novel, so she just nodded her head without thinking.
“I’m glad you’re more sensible than I thought.”
Duke, feeling better because he was able to take away 20% from 10 silver coins, looked at Yoojeong and said in passing.
“By the way, it seems that the hair color has changed strangely…does it seem deeper than before? Did you get covered in demon blood?”
To him who deftly tried to cover his mistake, Ethan made it clear to the end.
“Give me her resume as well. Please don’t introduce her to a nonsensical place again.”
Even if she’s not an offensive mage, he could introduce her since mages are popular, and when that’s pointed out, he had nothing to say. Duke desperately found her resume and handed it to her. Standing blankly, Yoojeong took the resume and pouch.
“Don’t live that way.”
Ethan tossed those words, grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her out, just like when he came in.
Jiljil.
Like a powerless paper doll, Yoojeong was dragged outside. Outside, Ethan let go of her wrist and spun around.
“Hey, no matter how hard it is to make a living in the world. Please value your life a little. Unless you’re an attack mage, surviving outside the castle is harder than picking stars in the sky. Seeing it, it seems that your magic power is excellent, but you don’t know how to use attack magic in the first place. Mages should be able to get enough from other jobs, right? Hey, are you listening to me?”
In front of Yoojeong, who was looking up at him with blank eyes, he made a sound by tapping his fingers.
“Yes? Ah, yes. Yes yes.”
Yoojeong, still not aware of the seriousness of the situation, nodded vigorously and replied like a parrot. It looked very unreliable, but that was the only goodwill she could show.
“You don’t need to say goodbye. It’s because you want to eat and live. You make mistakes and that’s it. But, the next time you run into something like this, there’s nothing good about it. Take good care of your own life.”
“Yes yes.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around again and she watched as he strode away, but another sound brought her to her senses.
“Hey, what are you doing in the middle of the road! Can’t you get out of the way?”
A man galloping fast on his horse squealed from a distance.
“Oof!”
Yoojeong, who was so surprised that she ran away, threw her back against the wall of a building and gasped. Left alone, she read the paper with trembling hands, looking at the unfamiliar words.
Sylvia Arbor.
While reading the list of personal information, Yookeong noticed that she was reading unfamiliar texts.
“No way.”
She, who usually lives with fantasy novels, easily noticed the current situation.
That she had moved to a dimension somehere.
“There’s no way!”
★★Where is this place?★★
She covered her face with her palms, crinkling her brow from the sunlight stinging her eyes.
“Mmm.”
Every time she moved her face, she heard a rustle. The book under her face moved with a noise. Only then did Yoojeong wake up, yawning.
