Chapter 1 – Clocks Instead of Trucks

Father is dead

He wasn’t sad

He was a human who lived his own way, wandering around the world, leaving his child alone.

Still, he had no major complaints because he sent the minimum living expenses every month.

Therefore, the news of his father’s death was more of a nuisance than a sad one.

What will the cost of living be like now without the father?

Should I look for a part-time job?

… Honestly annoying I don’t like to associate with people.

I hate working in the first place.

Is there any way to make money comfortably on my own?

The first thing that came to my mind was things related to internet broadcasting that I usually enjoy.

These days, it has become a world where you can easily earn money through personal broadcasts or videos through Nitu Bunny Stream Money.

The materials are also limitless. Anything that can interest people is money.

Everyday life, pets, professions, politics, games… Even 19 gold related is possible.

That’s how the world got better.

But all of that didn’t apply to me.

Because I didn’t have any materials or talents that would attract others’ attention.

If you really want to find talent… Enough energy overflowing to the extent that even a seven-year-old daughter can do it every day?

But if there is no woman to deal with that, she is of no use to anyone.

On a fictitious day, I waste my energy meaninglessly watching women who are having fun with other men on the monitor.

Today, as usual, after turning on the computer, I opened the screen of PornTube.

PhoneTube, as the name suggests, is the 19-gold version of NiTube. It is a video-sharing website where PhoneTubers around the world upload their own porn videos or live stream them.

A video clip at the top of the site caught my eye.

It was a video of ‘Banmulman’, a handsome phontuber that has recently risen like a comet.

Tall height, handsome face, and anti-war objects are used as weapons to call for an invited girl or to hunt on the street to film a rice cake broadcast in real time… He was a very envious guy.

This video was an edited version of the live broadcast of ‘From Hunting to Hotel in One Day’, which was filmed last time by Legend, and it was seen that the number of views and likes was already skyrocketing in seconds.

– Nice… This hunting girl is also great. She goes out of her way today as well.

– Half-water brother! Please donate me too! (Laggyly)

– I’m not envious. I’m not envious. I’m not envious. I’m not envious…

– No… How many times have you saved the world in your previous life, bro…

Comments are also positive.

To think that you can earn money while making rice cakes with so many women… It is truly a dream life.

I’m confident that I won’t lose to anyone in terms of stamina and stuff, but… The problem is that everything else is substandard.

Because no woman would want to make rice cakes with a pig like me.

I wouldn’t even give it to you, even appearing on a broadcast? Absolutely unreasonable

I felt resentful of my parents who gave birth to me like this.

It would be futile to resent people who have already passed away.

While I was thinking about the cost of living for a while, a package I didn’t know arrived.

“This…”

… It was a box containing his father’s keepsakes.

Maybe there is something in this that will solve my living expenses.

Is it your father’s hidden legacy?

I opened the box with such anticipation, but to my disappointment, all the items inside were unknown antiques.

Did you travel around the world and collect souvenirs?

While searching for something that would make money if sold, I found a strange-looking wristwatch.

No… The part that shows the time is only engraved with strange patterns, so should we call it a bracelet rather than a watch?

What is this?

I inadvertently tried it on my wrist.

“…That’s tacky.”

While looking around and fiddling with something that I don’t know if it’s a watch or a bracelet…

Kirik… Click.

“Huh?”

In an instant, the rim of the watch turned halfway with a mechanical sound.

Just that.

But why?

The air around me has completely changed.

“…What?”

When I inadvertently raised my head, an unfamiliar landscape I had never seen in my life was unfolding before my eyes.

I looked around in bewilderment.

Suddenly, the scenery around me changed completely.

This is… Forest?

No, that doesn’t make sense

Apparently, I was in my room just a moment ago.

However, it was too real to be simply a hallucination or dream.

Covering the field of vision are unknown trees.

The sound of leaves rustling in the wind.

The smell of grass stinging your nose.

Even the feel of soil in the palm of your hand.

Absolutely this is not a dream or a hallucination… All my nerves were telling me.

What the hell happened?

Looking around the dense forest, my gaze returned to the antique clock.

No way… Is this guy the culprit?

I can’t explain it logically, but as of now, I couldn’t find a cause other than this thing.

It’s nonsensical, but… What if this is like a teleportation device?

I tossed the antique clock around once again.

How can I possibly go back?

But it doesn’t work as well as you think.

It sounds like something similar to the ticking of a clock.

It was then.

– Purreung.

“…Huh?”

In an instant, I felt a chill run down my spine.

I slowly looked back.

That… Wild boar?

Okay. No matter where you look, it’s a wild boar.

But did wild boars originally have such hideous horns?

Also, the size is no joke.

That’s about as good as any small car.

Such a terrifying wild boar was glaring at me with obvious hostility.

The way he was snorting nervously, he was ready to attack at any moment.

The reddish eyes also did not look normal.

– Kkuik!

Just as expected. Soon the wild boar began to drool and run towards me.

“Ahh!”

There was no time to think.

It kills instantly the moment it hits!

I screamed unsightly and quickly rolled to the side.

With a narrow gap, I was able to avoid the wild boar’s headbutt attack.

I rolled on the dirt floor and my clothes were dirty and scratched, but it doesn’t matter now.

You have to live!

However, the wild boar’s attack did not end with one attack.

Before I could pull myself together, the boar had already turned and charged at me once more.

Shit! If I had known it would be like this, I would have exercised at least a little!

I, who boasted of a body that was as heavy as a wild boar in size, had no agility to avoid its rushing attack in succession.

Are you going to die like this?

I had the illusion that time had suddenly slowed down.

People say they see a kaleidoscope right before they die, is that it?

In such a slow world, avoiding would seem easy, but since my body slows down as well, that is impossible.

Just waiting for death like this.

But in conclusion, I’m not dead.

“…Huh?”

By the time the boar and I were close to about 10 meters.

The sound of a sharp wind passed by my ears.

When I came to my senses, the boar was hunched over, leaving huge marks on the floor.

There is an arrow between his eyes… Deep.

Killing a wild boar with one arrow is amazing.

But in this day and age, it’s not a gun, it’s an arrow…

No, that’s fine for now.

I turned my head in the direction I assumed the arrow had come from.

“!”

And I felt like I was suffocating in a different sense than when I had just encountered a wild boar.

The elf… Was standing there

***

Alicia looked closely at Lee Seon-woo, who was lying in an awkward position next to a dead boar.

Because it was the first living creature I had ever seen.

‘What is this weird-looking guy? Oak… It seems a bit different to say. Is it something like a mutant?’

The large size and ugly face reminded me of an orc, but there were quite a few differences if you looked closely. They were ugly, but they didn’t have protruding fangs, and their skin color was closer to them than to orcs.

Above all, I didn’t feel the monster’s unique hostility.

He was just looking up at Aricia with an expression as if he was bewitched.

No Orc looked at an Elf with those eyes.

If he had been her orc, the moment she met him, he would have rushed to kill her.

Aricia was troubled.

I had no intention of saving this mutant orc.

While patrolling, I found a wild boar that had transformed into a monster wandering around the village, so I just dealt with it.

Because that was her job as the watchman of the elven village.

‘Should I just kill him?’

In fact, it was ridiculous to think about whether or not to kill him this way.

If the opponent was a real orc, he would have dealt with the boar without any conflict.

But for some reason, Aricia did not kill Lee Seon-woo right away, but rather appeared in front of him.

If the opponent is a threatening enemy, the action you should never do.

However, far from her threat, her instincts even felt a strange affinity for Lee Seon-woo.

‘Why? I don’t really want to kill him.’

Of course, it is the realm of the unconscious. She herself did not clearly recognize the emotion.

A similar feeling to her lovely childhood friend, Allen.

To feel such feelings from a mutant orc like this… It was inconceivable.

At least I don’t want to kill him.

However, this unknown creature cannot be left unattended in the forest.

Then there is only one option left.

‘Okay. I’m going to capture it and take it to the village. If you’re the Guardian, you might know something about this strange creature.’

Aricia, who organized her thoughts like that, drew her dagger from her waist and approached Seonwoo Lee.

Seeing the blade, Seonwoo Lee’s face grew pale.

“Hick! Sa, save me…!”

Lee Seon-woo cringes and begs for his life. However, the language he spoke did not work for Aricia.

‘It makes strange noises. He seems to be very timid.’

But maybe Lee Seon-woo’s servile attitude aroused some sympathy?

Aricia put her dagger back and summoned the forest spirit in its stead.

“Huh?”

Tree trunks rose from under the ground and wrapped around Lee Seon-wu’s body.

Soon, his arms and torso were completely restrained.

He looked like a prisoner tied to a rope.

“Stand up.”

Lee Sun-woo, who soon understood the meaning, struggled to straighten his legs.

“Ugh…”

However, Lee Seon-wu, whose body was in a mess, couldn’t keep his balance and fell forward again.

All in all, in the direction where Aricia was standing.

“!”

In that unexpected surprise (?), Aricia was crushed by Lee Seon-woo’s body.

Alicia, frightened at the thought of being victimized, gripped her dagger again in reverse.

“You bastard… What are you doing!”
“I’m sorry! I never did it on purpose…!”

Even if he expressed his resentment now, there was no way the words could get through.

Alicia thrust her dagger into Lee Seon-woo’s nape at once.

No, she was trying to stab.

“So…?”
“?”

The tip of the dagger stopped like a lie just before stabbing her in the neck.

Why?

Aricia suddenly felt her strength draining from her body.

As if the whole body was paralyzed.

‘This… What happened?’

It wasn’t that Lee Seon-woo suffered anything.

They just fell together with their bodies overlapping.

Then why?

Besides, the abnormality of the body was not the only one.

When Aricia inhaled deeply the scent of Seonwoo Lee, who was close to her.

“!”

She began to tremble at the unknown sensation she was experiencing for the first time in her life.

“I’m sorry. I’ll get out of the way right away…”
“S-Stop…! Don’t move! What’s up! That, there…!”
“Huh?”

And the moment when Lee Seon-woo’s knee, which was rocking on Aricia’s stomach, accidentally dug into her crotch…

“Huh?”

Push shot.

A clear liquid started gushing out of Alicia’s place like a fountain.
