Hehehe.

The Wind Blows.

Outside the village, a cool breeze blowing from the rocks.

It was worth leaving behind human joys and sorrows for a moment.

“brother!!!”

A girl came running with her skirt fluttering.

This is Elena, the village chief’s granddaughter.

It has been more than six months since I arrived here on the Gaisha Continent.

This month is Shuan’s month.

It is around June, the beginning of summer in Korea.

I haven’t figured out where this is yet.

There is no way to know whether it is Earth in a different dimension or a completely different star in the universe.

It is definitely not where I lived, and it is a civilization that has never been seen anywhere else in human history.

The name of the continent is Gaisha.

There are many similarities and many differences.

The languages ​​are completely different.

The seasons pass in the name of the twelve gods.

In this town, the twelve moons of the Earth are called by the names of the twelve gods.

The seasons of the god are as follows.

January is Anne, the god of wisdom.

February is Joshua, the god of timing.

March is the new season of sprouts.

… … .

December is the month of Kapros, the god of wrath.

The lifestyle is not much different from life on Earth.

Currency is divided into golden, silver, and luden.

Another unusual thing is that there are two moons in the sky.

Both moons beautifully light up the evening sky, but Kapros, the moon of wrath, has a red tint.

It is said that it is best to refrain from traveling and not leaving the village if possible during that month.

When the two blood-red moons rise, all the monsters and beasts on the Gaisha Continent lose their reason and go crazy.

On this continent, there are particularly ferocious beings called monsters.

The pig heads I first met here six months ago are of a race called Orcs.

It is one of the monsters with the largest population here.

In addition, there are ogres, trolls, wyverns, and various mutant monsters.

And there are similar races similar to humans: elves, a forest race, and dwarves, a race of land and minerals.

If you look at this, it is a perfect fantasy world.

The world exaggeratedly depicted in webtoons and web novels really exists.

And there are dragons in Gaisha.

I haven’t seen it with my own eyes yet.

It’s like a walking nuclear bomb.

ha… … . A dragon.

Fortunately, humans can learn and use magic.

I’d like to check it out, but this is a very small town.

It is said that you have to go to a big city to meet them.

Based on what the village chief said, all wizards are dangerous people.

I know even if you don’t say it.

Those who are smart, good at studying, and live in good taste are all like that.

It’s also strange if chauvinists have good personalities.

After listening to various stories, I came to a conclusion.

The fact that a being like a great sage or a dragon would be needed to return to the place where one lived.

“Are you hungry?”

Elena smiled brightly and held out the barley bread.

They were waiting at the watchtower for me to enter the village.

Thankfully, he came running as soon as he saw it.

The bread I ate on the first day is very rare here.

It was bread that was available because there was a sacrifice offered to the gods that day.

“I’ll eat well.”

There is no such thing as complaining about food.

I acquired the language of this place by learning it with my whole body, making gestures with my hands and feet.

From a young age, he had excellent know-how in mastering foreign languages.

Memorizing the sentences in their entirety showed an effect.

“Eat quickly. “I mixed a lot of flour.”

Elena looked at me and whispered quietly.

The old man who gave me a place to sleep on the first night was Elfin, the village chief.

Elena is 17 years old.

If you get to know him, he is a pitiful child.

Both parents were killed by a monster.

“The amount is huge today too. “Thanks to you, this winter will be warm.”

Elena looks at the firewood and smiles brightly.

To make a living here, they became hunters and woodcutter.

There are fewer useful trees in the nearby area than expected.

Besides, it was dangerous outside the village.

Farming is not easy either.

Women go to work accompanied by guards.

Cutting down logs requires men working together.

I was the only one who could do the hunting and logging.

At first, I tried to live quietly as if I were dead.

At Chief Elphin’s house, I concentrated solely on learning the language.

However, after learning about the situation in the village, I felt very sorry.

A village coated with several layers of Jigiri Palace.

I noticed that the orchard next door, where my husband had passed away, had run out of firewood.

Early in the morning, without saying anything, I took my ax and went into the forest.

I went into the deep forest and cut down the trees.

There are a lot of trees there.

It was used to produce firewood of appropriate size using internal strength.

And then I started practicing magic.

The natural energy was in vain.

The amount of accumulation every time I did a week was no joke.

Should I say it’s like air wild ginseng?

One time, while I was having a good time, I sensed that I was going to live.

thud! thud!

A huge guy has appeared!

My eyes almost popped out.

A huge monster, or rather a wild boar, boasting a height of 3 meters.

He looked at me and revealed his dirty buck teeth.

How big is the head?

It rushed towards me, throwing everything it could at me.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doot.

The earth shook.

It felt like a crazy person saw me as a hangover.

Same goes for me!

I raised my axe.

There are dozens of wild boars that I killed and ate with my teacher on Mt. Gyeryong.

I wasn’t scared.

but.

“It’s meat… … . meat!”

My eyes rolled back.

Meat was very rare in poor villages.

Kueeeeeeeeeeee!

Great voice!

Unlike oak, it is edible.

“At least 500!”

This guy who isn’t even a cow looks like a cow.

The strong front legs are for stew, the snorting head is for head meat, the sturdy shoulders are for stew, and the spacious chest… Ogyeopsal!!!

Rumbling.

I drooled without even realizing it.

“???”

While charging, when I showed no signs of running away, he glared at me with red eyes as if I was dumbfounded.

Cute Doyaji Shiki.

I threw my heart away.

Kueeeeeeeeee! Kueh!

He let out a roar that shook the forest.

It’s a sign of being angry.

“come! “Gyeopsal!!!”

I gave a warning.

Taaaaaat.

ran towards each other.

and.

Quad deuk!

The iron ax that he held with both hands was stuck in Doyaji’s head.

Kueeeh???

Doyaji looks at me with disbelieving eyes.

I would have never imagined that it would become a cake in one hit.

“You have to look at your position and be smart. “In your next life, be born as a powerful orc.”

Wow.

I split the head of Doyaji with an ax stuck in it.

Paaaat!

A softly shining blue light.

“Sword energy… … . “Is it pottery?”

By absorbing the ridiculous amounts of wild ginseng, Danjeon grew rapidly.

Good luck with the phone.

I pulled out the ax.

Pot-pot!

The artery was lightly cleaned up.

Sssssssssssssssssssssd.

A fountain of blue-black blood gushing out.

As befits a big guy, the quantity is enormous.

At that time, I became the village hunter.

There was an uproar in the village that day.

A super wild boar that has been appearing for several months.

It was said that he was so strong that even an orc could not pierce his skin.

It was I who caught Doyaji and carried him on my shoulder and returned.

On that day, I obtained a one-person hunting and logging permit.

Of course, the wild boar became a great food ingredient for the villagers for a week.

It was worth breaking the bones five times.

I quietly grilled and ate Gyeopsal with precious salt sprinkled with the village chief and Elena.

Josun, who was chanting God with both hands together, even showed tears.

The pork belly I ate that day.

Even now… … .

I’m hungry for meat.

Elena jumped up and down.

“Elena, you can’t get married if your skirt is fluttering.”

“don’t worry. Why not go to your brother? You should be thankful! “How popular am I in the village?”

I feel like I’ve become an old man.

A blush blooms on Elena’s face.

Elena is very popular in town.

The village chief’s granddaughter knows how to read and is good at housekeeping.

17 years old, she is like a blooming spring flower.

Elena’s charm and neat freshness made many of the village’s bachelors fall ill with lovesickness.

Of course, to me, this is a relationship that makes no sense.

People here can’t guess my age and try to hook me up with Elena, but I have intelligence and conscience.

“I don’t want to be challenged to a duel by Jack and Finn. “Their eyes are unusual.”

How can a relationship that has been lived together under the same roof for several months be light?

Moreover, Elena lost her parents early and was very hungry.

So, he follows me like an older brother when I show him kindness.

I found the things Elena did cute so I treated her like my own sister.

Because of this, I was once bullied by the village youth.

However, starting from the day I slaughtered the wild boar, the subtle bullying completely disappeared.

Only Jack and Finn, who are extremely fond of Elena, are still showing regret.

“Do you care more about them than Elena? I got it! I made a special chicken stew today, but I have no choice but to take it to Jack and Finn. “Don’t bother my poor brother!”

Chicken stew… … .

My mouth watered.

Elena’s chicken stew is the only spicy food in town.

A delicacy among delicacies with a hint of wild pepper.

After eating, my body feels revitalized.

“Elena! Would you be afraid of those little guys? From now on, don’t worry about it and show your love to your brother!”

I gently coaxed Elena.

Elena, who holds power in the kitchen, is the best among the best.

“Hohohoho, of course you should! Elena is just like her brother! radish! they say! energy! “I knew you wouldn’t give up your dinner for me.”

Elena’s giggling laughter spread through the wind.

I am not ashamed of hiding my feelings.

I paid attention to facial expression management.

The taste of chicken stew is well worth it.

“Let’s go, Elena. “Stew doesn’t taste good when it’s cold.”

He walked ahead carrying a large log on his shoulder.

“Hey… … .”

It feels good to hear Elena’s happy laughter coming from next to me.

This alone was enough for now.

Today is also a worthwhile day.

Another day in an unknown world was filling up.

It’s still a long way to go back home… … . Time passed like that again.
