My front door leads to a comic strip

Three hundred meters away, dusk had turned the forest a deep green, and Miliearde walked barefoot on the path covered with fallen leaves.

She wore a white cloak, looked weary, and sipped her wine listlessly, her pointed ears, characteristic of elves, trembling slightly.

Whoosh—!

A sound came from deep within the forest, growing ever closer.

She only stopped and put down the wine bottle when five horned tigers, each the size of a small calf, slowly walked out.

"Taking a shortcut was definitely a mistake."

She muttered to herself, her voice cold and detached.

"roar--!"

The lead horned tiger let out a deep yet majestic roar.

Millie Alder watched this scene silently, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"My clothes are going to get dirty again."

She casually brushed off non-existent dust from her cloak—as a mage, dealing with multiple enemies was definitely not her forte.

As she spoke, she casually hung the empty wine bottle on her waist.

The tigers spread out in a fan shape, surrounding her.

Then, it pounced.

……

"Boom—!"

A loud bang, like a thunderclap, caused Gu Yuan, who was 300 meters away, to suddenly tense up.

He peeked his head out from the rock and waited for a while before realizing that the roars of the wild beasts had all disappeared.

It's unclear what happened; perhaps the humans of this world are engaged in a battle.

But no matter what, it has nothing to do with him.

I took a deep breath, my chest heaving violently.

"What a bad start! Let's get out of here. If that sound wasn't thunder, it means this world is far more terrifying than I imagined."

His exploration of this world is less than one ten-thousandth of its extent, and it's hard to say whether supernatural forces exist.

If such a thing exists... it's not something an ordinary person like him can easily pull off.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan carefully walked over to the mountain bike and helped it up.

"Let's get out of here quickly after the battle ends. Those beasts are probably dead. Even if any remain, they're likely injured."

"The ideal sprint speed for this model is 40 kilometers per hour, hopefully that's enough."

creak.

With a soft thud as gravel was crushed by wheels, Gu Yuan quickly left the mine.

However, his eyes remained worried as he constantly scanned his surroundings.

……

the other side.

After dealing with the tigers, Millie Alde looked at the five-meter-diameter crater on the ground and suddenly narrowed her eyes.

This was because she saw a giant beast, three times the size of an ordinary horned tiger, emerge from the depths of the forest.

Its fur has a metallic dark gold color, and the horn on its forehead is as transparent as crystal, with red liquid flowing inside.

What is most striking is the ring of silver fur around its neck, which shimmers faintly in the twilight.

"Tiger King..."

Milie Alde frowned, a rare occurrence, and unconsciously raised her right hand to her chest, making a gesture as if preparing to cast a spell.

The tiger king did not attack immediately, but instead walked slowly around the deep pit.

With each step it took, the ground trembled slightly, revealing its astonishing weight—although the sound was absorbed by its paw pads.

Immediately afterwards, the golden beastly eyes turned to Milialde, a hint of human-like greed flashing in them, and the tongue slowly licked the fangs.

—A mage, or an elf, that's wonderful.

Longevity means that one possesses a great deal of magical power, which can drive them to evolve.

As the king of beasts, it needs to evolve in order to hunt better.

Then, it suddenly pounced without warning, so fast that it almost left a blur.

Swish!

Almost instantly, a wound appeared on Miliearde's left arm, and the white cloth was immediately stained red with blood.

Her magic was deflected by the Tiger King's dark golden fur, exploding into useless specks of light in mid-air.

"Magic resistance?"

A look of seriousness flashed in her eyes. She quickly took a few steps back to create some distance, while checking her wounds—thankfully, they were just superficial injuries.

Even so, she was well aware of the trouble.

Millie Alde quickly considered a countermeasure. Although the Tiger King was immune to magic, physical attacks should still be effective.

The problem is, she had no weapons on her except for an empty wine jug.

While she was thinking, the tiger king's nose suddenly twitched a few times, and then it turned its head to look in a certain direction of the forest.

Its golden pupils narrowed slightly, as if it had discovered something interesting.

Miliearde followed its gaze, but only saw dense bushes.

But she soon realized that humans were approaching.

Judging from his aura, he was an ordinary human, without any magical fluctuations.

……

Gu Yuan was cautiously advancing through the bushes.

He had to admit that he had underestimated the complexity of the wilderness.

Although the road has been paved, the weeds and trees are completely neglected.

Fortunately, the tires were sturdy enough, otherwise they would have been ruined after riding only a few hundred meters.

Just as he was about to leave the path, Gu Yuan suddenly felt a strange palpitation.

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

The forest suddenly became unusually quiet; even the chirping of insects and birds disappeared.

This is a dangerous sign.

Swish.

The car suddenly burst out of the bushes, a gentle breeze caressed his cheek, and Gu Yuan opened his eyes.

Not far away, a tiger about five meters long and as large as a small building was staring menacingly at him.

"!"

My heart skipped a beat.

"Sorry to bother you."

What the hell? Where did this monster come from?

Without a second thought, he abandoned the car and, without even considering escape, opened the portal between the two worlds, ready to leave this world.

However, it seems that Tiger King does not want to give Gu Yuan a chance.

"roar!"

—Where did these humans come from?

The sprite can't be dealt with in a short time, but the bag on its back smells nice.

—Let's have a treat.

He vanished from his spot in an instant. Just as Gu Yuan turned around, he heard the sound of wind breaking behind him.

Within half a second.

He made his decision, pressed one hand on the crossbow at his waist, turned around, and fired instantly!

As luck would have it, the arrow struck the eye and embedded itself deeply. The Tiger King was stunned, never expecting that this human would carry a weapon.

Moreover, the weapon's power seems to be different from what it expected.

--pain!

it hurts!

Its whole body felt like it was on fire; it roared, and half of its vision went dark.

Its sprint stopped abruptly due to the pain, but the kinetic energy it carried still sent Gu Yuan flying several meters away.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

"Thump!"

The moment he was thrown out, it felt as if he had been run over by a truck. Gu Yuan's vision went black, and he knew that he was probably done for.

He knew the fragility of the human body, and he also knew that even if he didn't die after landing, it would be difficult to use the portal between the two worlds to return home and contact the hospital.

He couldn't explain why he had suffered such severe injuries while staying at home.

If investigated, it would be impossible to explain where the gold came from.

An inauspicious start...

boom!

He landed heavily on the ground, rolled several times, and even though the falling leaves cushioned the impact, Gu Yuan still coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Immediately afterwards, he gradually lost consciousness and fell into a coma.

Just then, he vaguely heard footsteps approaching.

Opening my eyes felt like a thousand pounds; I couldn't open them at all.

All vision was dark.

"%＃£ (Interesting human)".

The unfamiliar female voice had a strange tone; these were the last words he heard before he fell into darkness.

"¢€&¥……(What's that thing you're holding? It actually managed to injure the Tiger King. Interesting. I need…)"
