I knew it was rude, but I couldn’t help but let out an exclamation of admiration the moment I saw her.

Pure white skin and blue eyes. There’s shiny black hair. A face that looks innocent.

But on the contrary, it has a really violent body. The shirt that slightly revealed her voluptuous breasts and the attractive thighs coming out of the dolphin pants made even me, who was somewhat accustomed to women, widen my eyes.

In terms of looks, he’s probably one of the top three people I’ve ever seen.

While I was looking at her with a slightly dazed expression, I noticed that there was some fear in her eyes.

‘Oh right. I’m just on my way after defeating a zombie.’

It is natural for a woman to feel fear after seeing a large, muscular man covered in someone else’s blood holding a fire extinguisher dripping with blood. Because it looks like he’s not even a hunter.

And I need to confirm the most important thing.

“Oh, don’t worry. It doesn’t seem like there is any infection or anything like that. Even though it’s been about 20 minutes since the blood was stained, it’s still fine. If you feel like you’re reacting strangely, you can attack me, but I’ll accept it. So, it’s okay not to worry too much about that.”

“Ah… yes… ”

The woman who came to her senses after hearing my voice opened the door a little further, and I went inside.

‘This is a nice house too. It feels a little desolate, though.’

Overall, it’s a clean house, but I would say it feels a bit less lived-in.

“I just moved here. Originally, I didn’t have much luggage.”

The way he looks at me a little, but tries to respond to me with his own composure, is quite natural. Are you an actor or something? I feel like if I go in that direction with my appearance, I’ll be successful.

But I haven’t let go of my nerves yet. No, in fact, an encounter with her was much more dangerous than a zombie.

‘Because he is the one who called me into this world.’

I don’t know how she did it, but according to the explanation on the dimensional random chat app, it was as if this woman had summoned me. Although survival was said to be the goal, the choice of such ambiguous words often had hidden intentions.

“This is Park Hyun-seong. I came all the way here from the 5th floor.”

“You were from the 5th floor… My name is Se-ra Han. My real name and stage name are the same.”

Stage name? Is he a celebrity after all? I thought so, though.

As expected, information is lacking. Not only about her, but also about this world and the current situation.

Let’s talk a little bit lightly here to resolve the awkward situation.

“By the way, you don’t speak informally? He spoke informally a lot in chat.”

“Well, that’s because it’s too urgent! I’m actually a very kind person… ! And you spoke informally too!”

“Just kidding, kidding. In the first place, what kind of person speaks respectfully in random chats? The guy who does that is even weirder.”

“I should have tried random chatting at some point to know… ”

“Have you never tried it?”

“Yes. When this situation happened, I tried to urgently use my smartphone to call for rescue, but it all failed. So, I somehow contacted him through this app that was installed on my phone. Please help me.”

“You somehow tried to ask for help through a random chat app.”

“Because the situation was so urgent… Phew… ”

Unlike me, she seems to have had the app automatically installed on her smartphone. There is no benefit to lying about this, so you can believe this.

The jokes that I said to her probably opened her mouth, so she sighed and thanked me.

“Thanks to you, I survived. really… I was scared. Suddenly people got weird and started biting each other, acting like zombies in movies and attacking this place… ”

“You would probably be safe from those zombies if you were hiding here. They are weaker than ordinary people and have bare hands.”

In fact, the zombies I met were the generally known F-class zombies.

They were not equipped with mutated weapons or anything like that, and they did not turn into things like evolved ghouls. In that case, it would be no different from conquering an E-class dungeon alone, so it would be a bit more difficult.

‘Of course, if I had magical powers, it would have been easier… Phew… ‘

In fact, the reason there was zombie blood on it was because I once had a glimmer of hope for awakening magical power.

I have tried all the superstitions related to magical awakening. Sometimes, things cost a lot of money or were dangerous. But my thirst for magic allowed me to endure it all.

But even here, it seemed difficult to find a clue to my magical awakening.

I had some expectations when I heard that it was a different dimension… As expected, the walls of reality are high. It doesn’t seem like anything will work out like in a novel or anything like that.

“… . Hey, excuse me, but is it okay if I ask you a question?”

“Yes, if it’s something I can answer.”

“You speak as if you know a lot about zombies… How could you do that?”

As expected, the appearance is innocent, but the hair does not seem to be innocent.

Of course, this is an inevitable suspicion. If you know the identity of a monster you’ve never seen before and killed several of them, even if you’re like me, you’ll probably be skeptical at first.

I decided to answer honestly to Han Se-ra’s question, which did not hide her suspicions even more than before.

“Of course. I mentioned it in the chat too. I’m a hunter.”

“Hunter? Hunter? Did an ordinary hunter catch monsters like that? I don’t know if he’s an exorcist or something… ”

“No. A hunter is a job that hunts down such monsters.”

Anyway, I don’t think there will be any downside to me saying this.

“I am from a dimension full of zombie-like monsters.”

After hearing my bombshell remark, Se-ra Han’s eyes widened even wider than before.

“It’s truly a different dimension… Korea is different from what I know… ”

“If you have any doubts, I will tell you more information. Ask more.”

“No, I’ll believe it. The world has become like this, so something like that could happen. I wish it were a dream, but I don’t know. If you have the ability to say this on the spot, you could become a writer… Now I have no choice but to trust what Hyunseong says.”

Sera Han, who hardly believed what I said, sighed and acknowledged my existence.

If I said this to someone else, I would have been questioned as to whether I was crazy, and under normal circumstances, I would have kept my identity hidden.

But the goal of my quest is her survival. Therefore, giving her confidence in me has a big impact on my future actions.

Therefore, I only hid the existence of the quest and explained most of my situation to her.

“So, to sum it up… Are you saying that they chatted through an unknown app and were suddenly brought here? My original job is a hunter who catches monsters… ?”

“It’s exactly as I said. My rating isn’t that high or anything, but I have some experience. It could be enough to help Se-ra Han survive.”

“He wants to survive with me until he returns to his original dimension… ”

“If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. In a situation where you don’t have any connections, it may be better to be with someone you have at least some connection with.”

I appealed to her that I could be of help to her and subtly urged her to come with me.

It would be more difficult to believe that the quest was suddenly about securing your survival, and I don’t know how her attitude would change if she found out that the quest was about protecting herself.

‘Because being human means you never know when and how something will change.’

Se-ra Han looks at me with a bitter smile on her mind.

The blue eyes, which cannot be found among native Koreans, were like a clear lake, so I slightly averted my gaze because I felt like I was falling into them without realizing it.

I’m afraid I’ll say something unnecessary.

She looked at me in silence for a while, took a breath, and held out her hand to me.

“There are some things I don’t quite understand… Please. I don’t know what will happen to me alone… Could you please?”

“Of course. It would also be better for me to have at least one more ally I can trust.”

Her clasped hands were much warmer than expected, contrary to the cold expression she was trying to make.

Thanks to her cooperation, the start of my first ever quest went more smoothly than expected.

As we decided to work together without any problems, we decided to fortify our location first.

“First of all, it’s not a good place to stay for a long time. However, since we still don’t know how the situation will progress, it would be better than blindly going somewhere else.”

“That’s definitely true. You never know what kind of danger you might encounter if you just go into another house… ”

Considering how active the zombies are, they may one day reach the upper floors of this apartment building. Of course, I’ve cleared out all the zombies in the middle since I came up, but we don’t know when the number will increase to a level that we can’t handle.

Because of that, we needed to find another safe location, even if not immediately.

“If you have any financial or legal problems, please leave it to me. I can solve it somehow with money, and I can just take responsibility for the law. Well, it would be fortunate if society functioned normally enough to hold people accountable… ”

At least in this respect, Han Sera, who is more reliable than anything else, shrugs her shoulders a little.

Certainly, if you look like that, you can do anything in a world like this. Moreover, if you listen to the story, it is said that he has been working as an actor since he was young, so he must have a lot of money.

At the very least, it would be better to leave all of these issues to Han Se-ra.

“Good. I’ll leave that to Se-ra Han. Now then, let’s get our weapons.”

Fortunately, Han Sera is currently filming a movie in the zombie apocalypse genre, so she was equipped with some survival items to help her understand the character… no, very thoroughly.

So I was able to secure weapons that I didn’t expect.

“First of all, Se-ra Han, please use a baseball bat. As I gradually get used to it, I’ll try using the axe and try using something else.”

“Ah, yes! all right. Please take care of me.”

Se-ra Han picked up the steel baseball bat without any complaints from my instructions.

‘He definitely adapts to situations quickly. ‘I’m different from normal people.’

The average person would have preferred a bladed sword or other weapon due to the media. But there is a catch.

Bladed weapons are powerful, but they require more force than you might think. Because of this, people who use a sword for the first time take a year just to learn how to cut something properly.

There is no way that Han Se-ra, who has worked as an actress, would have known and accepted this, so it seems safe to say that she expressed her trust in me through this.

‘It’s not particularly big, but it still feels good.’

It feels good to know that someone trusts and follows me. Especially if that someone is beautiful.

“Then let’s get started. Please follow me closely. Take heart.”

Opening the closed door and calling attention to the back again, the curtain began on my first party with the general public.
