My front door leads to a comic strip

squeak--

The faint light of dawn shone through the window into the room. Gu Yuan rubbed his sore shoulders, pushed open a door, and slowly walked out.

boom!

As the door slammed shut, he deflated like a punctured balloon, collapsing to the ground with a thud.

He tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and a bitter smile involuntarily tugged at the corners of his mouth, feeling utterly that ancient life was truly a torment.

"Seven days, a full seven days."

The dust particles scattered throughout the room swirled and danced in the air.

As he took off his rough animal skin clothes and casually tossed his backpack aside, he let out a long sigh, as if using all his strength to exclaim:

"Finally back."

After putting the clothes down, he suddenly squinted and noticed the cell phone on the coffee table.

He grabbed it, his thumb swiping rapidly across the screen, ready to see how many people had contacted him in the past few days.

result.……

"very good."

The white light illuminated the corners of his slightly twitching mouth.

He felt relieved when he saw that all the notifications were for food delivery, news, and software updates.

With an impatient swipe of his index finger, he casually cleared the messages with a single click.

With a "whoosh," he put down his phone, propped himself up on his knees, and slowly got up, preparing to take a hot shower.

As he got up, he realized that the main reason for his injury was the lack of aerial visibility.

If they had seen the tiger beforehand, none of the subsequent events would have happened.

"...I need drones, the kind that can be used even without satellites."

"It almost killed me. If it weren't for that elf, I would be dead by now."

"We'll need to change our weapons too, although it's unlikely we'll be able to get any guns or cannons."

Gu Yuan muttered to himself as he lowered his head and touched his chest, which was bandaged and the dark red bloodstains had long since dried.

But every time I think about it, I feel a faint stinging sensation.

I walked into the bathroom feeling depressed.

"Whoosh—"

Water droplets, like beads from a broken string, dripped down his eyelashes, blurring his vision.

By the time he had thoroughly washed himself clean, it was already broad daylight.

After resting on the sofa for a while, Gu Yuan rubbed his eyes and got up to recount the gains he had made in the past seven days.

—Forty-odd gold coins, a small piece of gold ore, and a warrior's training method.

……

……

"Good stuff. According to Milieard, these gold coins are enough for one person to live on there for more than ten years."

"Although we haven't encountered any towns yet, we'll find a use for them in the future."

Gu Yuan gently stroked the patterns on the gold coin with his fingers, then set it aside.

His gaze naturally swept over the gold ore on the coffee table, finally settling on the warrior's training method.

This is a brown scroll, made mostly of animal fur, and it looks rather rough.

On the seventh day, the two set off and arrived at a nearby village, where they bought it.

It cost two Unified Empire gold coins.

Although it's unclear how high the limits of this cultivation method are, it should be fine for self-defense.

Gu Yuan picked up the scroll and quickly flipped through it.

Splash.

His brows suddenly furrowed, a fleeting look of confusion crossed his eyes, followed by deep regret.

"Damn it, I completely forgot to have Milie Alde translate this. How could anyone possibly understand this gibberish from another world?"

He slammed the reel onto the table, picked up his phone, and began frantically searching.

"The name 'Unified Empire' is sounding increasingly familiar, and coupled with its language being similar to Japanese, yet the written characters are completely different..."

"Found it." His finger suddenly stopped on the screen.

The first webpage link is about German unification.

But if you look further down, you'll find information related to Warhammer, Empire, and Frilian.

Warhammer and Empire clearly have little to do with Japan; the only connection they have is...

(A sudden burst of inspiration)

Gu Yuan tried to spell Milie Alde, and finally got a definite answer. After seeing the picture above, he understood.

"Damn it." However, he felt no joy at all.

Because, according to the information obtained from Miliard.

The timeline he is currently in is neither the main story nor the side stories, but rather something from much earlier times.

Millie Alde has not yet spent her entire life obtaining the Emperor's Wine, and the protagonist, Frilian, may not even have been born yet.

How could he possibly have precognitive abilities based on existing intelligence?

It's important to understand that, given human lifespans, we simply won't live for hundreds of years.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan felt a deep sense of melancholy.

He slumped limply into the sofa, as if all his bones had been removed.

"Am I destined to be nothing more than a rich man for the rest of my life?"

"While there's nothing wrong with being rich, and now that I have a cultivation method, all I need to do is translate it to gain a strong physique, this isn't what I want."

"I want to learn magic, and I want to get close to elves..."

Honestly, if you were transported to a world of swords and magic, I believe most people would choose an elf as their companion.

However, the elf thought he was a baby. What should be done?

Feeling distressed, that was Gu Yuan's first thought, and he tugged at his hair.

But immediately, the second thought that came to mind was—"I want to live forever."

Yes, only immortality can increase one's lifespan and experience, allowing Milieald to no longer see herself as a baby.

This is something that cannot be accomplished by relying solely on the methods of soldiers.

Only magic might be able to make this wish come true.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Yuan's eyes rekindled with fighting spirit.

He clenched his fist, ready to go find Milieald and get to the bottom of things.

He sprang up from the sofa and rushed to the door.

It was only when he pushed open the door and saw the forest that he snapped back to reality and realized that he was not prepared for a long period of studying magic.

—Long periods of disappearance, the dangers of the primeval forest, food reserves, wear and tear and replacement of equipment…

If these are not handled properly, any one of them could cost you your life.

You must resolve this issue before you can re-enter.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan's shoulders slumped, and he had no choice but to close the gate between the two worlds.

—No, I must first inform Miliald that I will be going with her to the unified empire.

It will just take some time, but not long, maybe one or two months at most.

Considering that if he encounters danger again and cannot resolve the situation, he might have to move again.

After all, we could try to lure the monsters from that world here and let the authorities handle it.

--Japan.

Once the thought appeared, it lingered in his mind for a long time, refusing to leave.

What's the point of harming your own country?

Do it as soon as you think of it.

Gu Yuan immediately took action.
