As I gaze blankly at the vast sea from atop a high coastal cliff, a green-skinned fishman jumps up, creating a splash of water.

“……”

For a moment, I thought I had seen it wrong, but seeing it jump once more convinced me that my eyes were right.

A being with a fish head, a human body, and claws on its hands and feet.

A fishman, not a mermaid.

“…If she were a beautiful mermaid, it would have been fun to the eyes.”

I sighed and complained without much meaning.

I don’t know what this means.

I’m sure I was giggling while watching the community fight, but why don’t I blink once and I’m on a deserted island in a fantasy world?

“……”

Funnily enough… no, not funnily enough, I already knew the answer.

[Constellation Community]

[G-873 Title: I’m a newbie to the Constellations and I’m so bored. Is it always like this?]

[G-444 Title: I did it for nothing. This is the truth of the world…]

[G-541 Title: Summary of Current District 88 Situation]

[G-771 Title: Please save me. I think I’m going to die of boredom]

“……”

I don’t know what this is, but I was able to infer the meaning from the letters that came to my head.

Words that were often seen in web novels from the beginning also appeared.

“So the constellations are real…”

I forgot my current situation and let out an empty exclamation.

But it seems really boring.

There were a lot of posts that you could tell were nonsense just by looking at the titles.

It would be nice to be able to see the content, but…

“As expected, I can’t see anything else.”

As a result of touching all the visible posts from earlier, there was only one post that I could see.

[G-666 Title: How long can humans from Earth 44 survive if they are trapped on an uninhabited island on Earth 69?]

“…The constellations are curious about everything.”

[Content: (Picture of an ordinary human) If you bet 1000 points, don’t you think you would grit your teeth and survive for a month?]

The content of the post was really nothing special.

Because it was just a picture of a young man that you could see anywhere, along with some nonsense written on it.

“…This is a violation of portrait rights.”

The problem is, it’s me in that photo.

No, when and how did you take that photo?

Is this a photo you don’t remember at all?

“Damn…”

Given the circumstances, I think it was because of that photo that I ended up in this situation.

I’m not sure, but if the people residing in this community are really the transcendental people commonly depicted in web novels, wouldn’t they be able to transfer me from reality to an uninhabited island in another world just by looking at my picture and inadvertently imagining it?

“……”

I don’t know if that’s really possible, but there’s no other possibility that comes to mind.

[comment]

[G-133: Earth 44 people don’t even know what the point is, so why are they clenching their teeth?]

[G-431: Does it vary depending on the conditions of the uninhabited island? Isn’t it worth doing without fantasy elements?]

[G-222: 44 Earthlings are something that even an ordinary tiger cannot defeat. I will never be able to endure it.]

[G-099: But isn’t it a place where there are no fantasy elements at all? I don’t think you’ll know until you try.]

┗[G-666: ㅇㅇ That’s what I said. 44 If you are a human living on Earth, you will have experienced a few supernatural phenomena, and you will have encountered monsters from the urban fantasy and cosmic horror genres a few times, so I think you will not be helpless. There is even an organization called the ‘Paranormal Phenomena Management Bureau’.]

“…??”

As I was reading the comments blankly, I came across something unexpected.

Paranormal phenomenon? Urban fantasy monster? Cosmic horror monster? Administration?

What does this mean?

I’ve never experienced or met anything like that in my life?

Aren’t you mistaken?

“What kind of situation is this?”

No, but 666 Constellation is really good at web novel terminology… Do you enjoy web novels?

So you’re not just picking readers and letting them possess your work?

As I stared blankly at the hologram, I saw that the author of the post, 666, was having a live discussion with someone.

[G-088: What are you talking about? I know this because I have seen and heard many things, but ordinary humans on Earth 44 have rarely experienced such things. Most people just live normal lives and then die. They have no connection to magic, so if you don’t give them weapons or something, they will never survive in the 69 Earth ecosystem.]

┗[G-666: Then is it possible if you have a weapon or something? For example, a gun.]

┗[G-088: It’s a gun… If there are only weak monsters on a deserted island, you’ll be unchallenged, but wouldn’t it be difficult if there are only slightly stronger ones inhabiting it? Even if you become medium-sized, guns and such won’t work.]

“……”

No, it’s a world full of monsters that guns don’t work on?

Did I fall into that world?

This is ridiculous. Please send it back quickly.

┗[G-666: Hmm, it looks like the conditions of an uninhabited island will be necessary. How about a tropical jungle that is of a reasonable size and has an ecosystem that is nothing special?]

┗[G-088: Then even if you have a gun, there’s almost no hope. If you’re lucky, you’ll live, okay?]

┗[G-666: What if the gun is an infinite magazine gun? Will it still be difficult?]

┗[G-088: It’s hard. As I said before, guns don’t work at all even if you’re medium-sized?]

┗[G-666: Since the goal is not to subdue monsters or fight, but simply to endure, I think a gun with infinite magazine would be enough…]

“It’s a gun… I’m sure it would be reassuring to have it, huh? Huh?”

While muttering a small wish, I suddenly felt a heavy touch and looked down to see a pistol in my hand.

“…!!”

Are you connected?

I quickly grasped the situation and frantically touched the hologram window.

“Comment! How do you write a comment? A better weapon…no! If you just ask me to send it back to Earth…!”

[You cannot comment because you do not have permission]

“No, you’re crazy…!”

I cursed in frustration and stared at their discussion.

I don’t know the situation, but I instinctively felt that this comment discussion was my only way to survive.

┗[G-666: What do you think if that person has the ability to return?]

┗[G-088: Regression? Isn’t that too vulgar? If you have the ability to return, even if you die a few times, if you have the will, you can survive for about a month.]

┗[G-666: Is that so? Roughly how many times do you think you will die?]

┗[G-088: Hmm…won’t I die about 10 times anyway?]

“Reversion ability? It’s always good to have it!”

Immediately after shouting that, a hologram window was added.

[1000 points if you last a month on a deserted island]

[Chances remaining: 10]

“Great!”

It doesn’t seem to happen just by looking at it; it seems to happen only when I wish for it.

┗[G-666: Number 10? Isn’t that too belittling? Even so, if you have a gun, wouldn’t you only die once or three times?]

“what?”

[Chances remaining: 3]

It is adjusted in real time according to the comment flow!?

“No! You fucking idiot! Don’t waste my life! What do you know? I’m so fucking weak! I’m a sunfish!”

I was so excited that I shouted loudly, but that didn’t bring back the number.

“Oh, please!”

┗[G-088: Oh, it’s not even possible. I think it’s because you don’t know something, but from the perspective of 44 Earthlings, 69 Earth’s ecosystem is too dangerous.]

┗[G-666: But you’ve been a bit shy since a while ago? What on earth is so dangerous?]

┗[G-088: Wow, I’m not arguing, so calm down. Anyway, Earth 69 is full of all kinds of poisonous insects and monsters. Even a tropical jungle? Then, humans on Earth 44, who have no mana, will die if they are bitten by a mosquito?]

┗[G-666: Hmm, definitely…]

[Chances remaining: 10]

“Oh! Good job 088!!”

When 666 agreed, they cheered because the number of regressions had returned.

However, is 666, the author of the post, aware of my existence?

Maybe you’re watching in real time and seeing the reaction.

If that’s the case, I really want to hit just one solar plexus really hard.

┗[G-088: Especially if it’s a tropical jungle on an uninhabited island, there’s a good chance there will be Sahagin, right? Then the game is over. Just a few lives are not enough.]

┗[G-666: Sahagin? Are you talking about those inferior fish people?]

┗[G-088: From our point of view, they are inferior, but even from the locals’ point of view, they are quite difficult monsters? First of all, they have high physical strength and intelligence, and the boss even uses magic, which is quite diverse and powerful. In particular, the ‘Mirror of Resentment’ spell is so dangerous that even the strong can lose their lives.]

“Sahagin?”

While reading the updated comments, I felt a sense of déjà vu when I came across unfamiliar words.

“Eoin… If so.”

Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine and I quickly looked back at the sea.

“Ugh!?”

looking at

Fishmen with fish heads the size of my body were floating in the sea, looking up at me.

“S-you crazy…!”

Looking at the fish’s characteristic large and blurry pupils all at once gave me goosebumps and filled me with fear.

Gripping the pistol tightly, I squinted at the comment window, breaking into a cold sweat.

┗[G-666: Hmm, but I’m confused as to which side you are arguing from. Even though it is so dangerous, if you have a gun and ten regressions, you can endure it?]

┗[G-088: No, as we talked, my thoughts changed a bit. 44 I don’t think an ordinary human on Earth would ever be able to survive.]

┗[G-666: My opinion is different.]

┗[G-088: Do you think you can endure it?]

┗[G-666: Yes. Not only are humans not that weak, but the power of guns cannot be underestimated.]

┗[G-088: Well, if you think that way, I have nothing to say. I don’t really want to persuade you]

┗[G-666: Instead of doing that, I’m bored. How about discussing it a little more? From the position that I can endure, from the position that you cannot endure]

┗[G-088: Good. Because I was bored too.]

┗[G-666: Good. So first, let’s talk about the types of dangers that can threaten human life…]

“Damn it! Are they coming here!?”

The discussion covered very important information, but unfortunately I didn’t have time to read it.

Fishman… According to 088, this is because an unfamiliar monster called Sahagin started climbing the cliff.

It has scales with several stripes on a green background, a large snout with flashing sharp teeth, and even a stone harpoon in its clawed hands.

There are a lot of them, so you can easily exceed 20.

“Really? Do I really have to do this?”

The hand holding the pistol trembled slightly.

I was so out of my mind that I couldn’t feel it, but when a crisis arose, my sense of reality reared its head.

Is this really reality?

I’d rather believe it’s a dream.

However, the salty sea breeze and Sahagin’s inorganic gaze staring up at me strongly argued that this was reality.

“Fuck… I don’t know what it is, but if you do it, it’ll work! If you do it!”

one month.

If I just grit my teeth and hold on for a month, I can get out of here.

…You can go out, right? Otherwise it will be very difficult.

“Huh…!”

Bang bang taang!

I suppressed my heart that was shaking like crazy, held my breath, and fired.

“Kiik!?”

“Kyaaa!”

However, the bullet only penetrated a few centimeters into Sahagin’s scales and could not cause fatal damage.

Looking closely, I saw that something like a fine blue air current was swirling around their bodies.

“This is crazy…! This really doesn’t work!”

Could that be Mana?

I saw it in the comments, but when I saw it in real life, I felt intense fear because the gun didn’t work.

“Duulji! Dullji!”

Bang bang bang bang! Taang! Taaaang!

“Kwiik!”

“Keee!”

Splash, splash!

Fortunately, it appears that it could not withstand the barrage of bullets forever.

Even if it was a strong forehead, if it was hit several times, the bone itself would break and rip through the brain, and if vulnerable areas such as the eyes, mouth, or fingers were attacked, it would be easily pierced and blue blood would flow out.

“Die! Hurry up and die!”

Out of fear, I lost half my senses and frantically pulled the trigger, trying to annihilate the guys.

I had no intention of leaving even a single person alive.

Don’t you know what kind of repercussions those who have already discovered me will bring?

For future safety and stress management, I tried to kill them all.

“Please die! Why are you so stubborn?”

Phew!

“…uh?”

I feel a burning pain in my back.

Not understanding the situation, I quickly lost strength in my legs and stumbled around, struggling to look back.

“Keyit, kiit!”

“Kiik…!”

There, other Sahagins were aiming bows and harpoons at me.

“…ah.”

It seemed like they were already surrounded.

They say I have high intelligence… no, is this just stupid of me?

“…it hurts.”

“Keeee!”

Puff poop! Phew!

Their harpoons and arrows pierce every part of my body.

“Apaaaak! Kwaaa!”

I lost my will to fight due to the merciless pain I had never felt in my life, and I collapsed on the spot, screaming.

“Kkiii!”

“ah…”

My last memory was the sight of Sahagin jumping high and stabbing me with a harpoon at my head.
