My head stopped for a moment.

Here…my studio apartment suddenly appears?

In an instant, a thousand thoughts came to mind. Why on earth does my studio exist in this space? What kind of space is this, what happened, and why am I here now?

Big questions and small questions were tangled together and my head became dizzy in an instant.

“Ugh…”

Maybe I was so shocked that I felt dizzy. As I stumbled, Yeo Il-ye and Hyeok Kirin who were next to me were startled and caught me.

“Eun Gong! Are you okay?”

“Ronin!”

Yeo Il-ye and Hyuk Kirin supported me.

“Ah, it’s okay…”

I was shocked for a moment and lost my mind for a moment, but there was no major problem with my body. I took a deep breath, did a round of inner energy, and quickly came to my senses.

I sat down on the floor for a moment and looked at my studio apartment, then got up.

“Everyone, please stay back.”

“…Do you want to go in there?”

I nodded silently. Although I was surprised… the situation was clear in its own way.

In the first place, could my studio exist in this world of martial arts?

Since my companions are also looking at the view of my studio with me, it is not just a vision that I see.

I didn’t know why, how, or why my studio apartment was changed into this one room.

I was certain that I had to go in there.

My companions looked at me with worried eyes, but they all seemed to sense something and cleared the way without saying a word.

I took one look at the chamam sword in my hand and returned it to its sheath.

If that was really my studio… there was a high probability that I wouldn’t have to draw my sword.

I stepped into my studio apartment while receiving everyone’s worried looks… I nodded once to my companions and closed the door.

Clap!

Weeing~ Tididik!

….The door that the black cat opened was obviously a wooden door with an iron hook, but there was a door lock on the other side.

I stood in the narrow entrance in silence… and looked around the room.

A small air conditioner that is old and faded. A new bed I bought last year. Even the small refrigerator next to the computer desk.

I was about to enter the room but stopped.

…I have to take off my shoes.

As I was undoing the rough leather straps, the shoes at the entrance caught my eye. A pair of canvas shoes with the heels completely folded. And then the dirty, dirty Samdidas slippers caught my eye.

As I looked at the leather boots between the canvas shoes and Samdidas slippers, I shook off that strange feeling and placed the chamam sword in the front door.

The veranda that was attacked by the reincarnation truck had curtains hanging down. I thought about opening it, but it felt creepy for some reason, so I stopped.

….It may just be a matter of turning our eyes away from the truth.

It occurred to me that if I opened that curtain, I might find myself hit by a truck falling from the sky.

Instead…what I focused my eyes on was the computer chair.

I sat down on the chair feeling awkward. The seat was elastic and the backrest supported my waist, but for some reason it was uncomfortable.

I held the mouse and looked at the monitor with a sigh.

The screen of the game I was playing before I was hit by this reincarnation truck was spinning. In martial arts evangelism, I could see that my character was moving according to a pre-entered schedule.

[Euljimungyeong trained in non-natural pictorial.]

[Training success!]

[The training level of non-natural pictorials increased by 1.2%.]

[My physical strength was exhausted due to the training of non-natural pictorials.]

I stared blankly at the log messages that kept popping up and opened the character’s status window.

“Wow…seeba…”

I opened the status window and cursed without realizing it.

…As with games, once you get used to it, you tend to gradually increase the level of difficulty. What is the symbol of the deceased?

It’s a panty look.

The panty look was the most intuitive way to show the level of difficulty.

A form in which even people with no knowledge or understanding of the game can understand what it means to take off all equipment and play the game itself.

In order to increase the level of difficulty on my own, I also continued to play Murim World by adding bad traits, just as the symbol of wearing panties with all equipment removed in order to find stimulation in a game I was already familiar with was symbolic.

Hardcore play that even the people in the group chat room cannot agree with and only respect.

Eulji Sangjo, a character created for such hardcore play.

What would have happened if I had become Eulji Sangjo, who I was playing, instead of Ho Cheon-an?

Just imagining it gave me goosebumps all over my body.

It wasn’t a problem whether there was mixed blood or not.

Eulji Sangjo’s starting abilities would have been equivalent to that of a walking corpse, so he may have run out of stamina and passed out before he could even come down the mountain, and he may have passed away.

I continued to watch Eulji Sangjo practicing martial arts, then pressed the stop button and moved the mouse cursor out of the [Murim World] window.

…I wanted to check the chat that was flashing yellow on the taskbar.

There was a message from him on the chat.

[Reincarnation Truck: Hehe]

When I saw that message, I had really mixed emotions. What reply should I send? After I read his message, the number 1 disappeared.

[Reincarnation Truck: Why aren’t you saying anything? You haven’t forgotten how to use a computer just because it’s been 10 years, right?]

[Hocheonan: ㅗ]

I reflexively threw away the taffy.

As he said, after typing for the first time in 10 years, I couldn’t remember the location of the keyboard, but once I pressed the key, the dam in my heart burst.

[Hocheonan: Hey]

[Ho Cheon-an: Why did you do that?]

As I watched the number 1 disappear in real time, my stomach began to boil. It felt like the emotions that had been building up for the past 10 years with no place to vent were overflowing all at once.

Crack, crack, crack!

[Hocheonan: What do you want?]

[Hocheonan: What is this space here?]

[Hocheonan: Answer]

It was only when I saw the screen shaking that I realized that I was typing so hard that I was almost smashing the keyboard. My heart was still boiling inside, but I forced myself to take my hands off the keyboard.

I thought that if this keyboard were to break, I might lose my means of communicating with this guy.

[Reincarnation Truck: Has it calmed down a little?]

[Ho Cheon-an: Answer first, you bastard]

[Reincarnation Truck: ㅇㅇ]

[Reincarnation Truck: It seems a little more genuine, so let’s start the story]

[Reincarnation Truck: There is a lot of time]

[Reincarnation Truck: There is enough to answer all the questions you want, so let’s go through each story]

[Reincarnation Truck: So, will you ask me one question at a time?]

[Hocheonan: Why did you send me here?]

[Hocheonan: What are you doing?]

[Ho Cheon-an: Why did you do this?]

[Reincarnation Truck: (Bear emoticon shaking head and saying NO)]

[Reincarnation Truck: Ask one question at a time]

[Reincarnation Truck: Okay, let’s talk about the unimportant things first]

[Reincarnation Truck: First of all, the space you are in right now is a place that I briefly realized]

[Reincarnation Truck: Would it be easier to understand if you think of it as a similar principle to the binary system discovered in the area of misreading?]

[Reincarnation Truck: This space will naturally disappear when its role is completed]

The guy’s answer cooled my head a little.

In the end, the reincarnation truck embodied my living room and drew me into this space.

Was this guy watching me? It made me feel sick to my stomach that this bastard was having fun throwing me into the martial arts forest and being bullied, but I suppressed those emotional issues for now.

I never know when I’ll get the chance to communicate like this with this guy again.

I’m going to find out everything I can.

If you think about it that way, the fact that he was watching me wasn’t a bad thing. Because it will allow the story to proceed quickly.

[Hocheonan: What is your identity?]

[Reincarnation Truck: You have a rough guess]

god.

Reincarnation Truck When I think about what this kid has done so far, that word comes to mind first.

[Hocheonan: Are you the god of this world? Or is he the god of Earth?]

[Reincarnation Truck: Shin Ira]

[Reincarnation Truck: How about using a slightly more sophisticated word? [You also read a lot of web novels]

I frowned at the answer from the mysterious reincarnation truck. After thinking about it for a while, I somehow felt like I knew what word that reincarnation truck wanted.

[Hocheonan: Transcendent?]

[Reincarnation Truck: (lion emoticon raising thumbs up)]

I was tempted to question whether there was a difference between a transcendent being and a god, but I held it back for now.

The important thing was to solve the accumulated questions.

[Ho Cheon-an: So, why did you put me in this world of martial arts?]

[Reincarnation Truck: Mmm]

[Reincarnation Truck: Let me tell you one thing]

[Reincarnation Truck: I am what you think, but that doesn’t mean I can do whatever I want]

[Reincarnation Truck: So your ‘question’ is quite important]

I looked back at his attitude.

Let’s think about it from the reincarnation truck’s perspective. In fact, the things that a guy like me would be curious about were quite predictable.

Why did you send me to the martial world?

What are you doing?

So, is it possible to go back?

For what purpose was this done?

Nevertheless, this guy only said that he was being asked questions and did not address such obvious questions first.

The story would be much faster that way.

Although he expressed yes to the answer that he was a transcendent, is it related to the fact that he himself did not mention the word transcendent?

Reincarnation Truck I understood that even that bastard had his own limitations.

And now he conveyed his intention indirectly.

The question I just asked was one that I couldn’t answer in his situation, so ask it in a different way.

[Ho Cheon-an: Then change the question]

[Ho Cheon-an: What happened to me who lived on Earth now?]

[Reincarnation Truck: I guess I can explain this]

[Reincarnation Truck: You probably thought you died after being hit by a truck]

[Reincarnation Truck: But it actually stopped right before that]

“….”

Are you saying you pulled me out right before I got hit by the truck?

[Ho Cheon-an: Then can I return?]

[Reincarnation Truck: Yes. You can return]

….You can return.

It was something I should be happy about, but somehow my heart became even heavier. This was because the various relationships that had arisen since falling into this martial world suddenly came to mind.

I shook my head to get rid of my thoughts.

There are still many questions left to ask the reincarnation truck. It is not too late to worry even after finding out all the truth.

The way to return was also the same.

Reincarnation Truck was faithfully answering my questions in its own way.

Was it really the wrong question to not give a proper answer to the question of why they put me in this world of martial arts?

[Ho Cheon-an: Let me change the question a little]

[Hocheonan: Is it your intention that I am now in the body of ‘Hocheonan’?]

[Reincarnation Truck: Hmm. The question is a bit subtle, but I guess this is okay.]

[Reincarnation Truck: Ho Cheon-an, it was my intention that you entered that body now]

I was slowly getting used to the twenty-high road with the reincarnation truck.

It seems that it can only answer questions that have a clear answer.

Do we literally have no choice but to infer his actions like Twenty Questions?

[Ho Cheon-an: Then why did you act like that?]

[Reincarnation Truck: I received a favor]

[Ho Cheon-an: Whose request is this?]

1 disappeared, but there was no reply from him. There was no answer, but I realized that the question was wrong just because he didn’t answer.

[Ho Cheon-an: I guess I should be aware of something, right?]

[Reincarnation Truck: (Rabbit emoticon nodding its head)]

It feels like I’m doing some kind of quiz. A quiz with rules that allow you to ask questions, but cannot provide answers related to the correct answer.

[Ho Cheon-an: Is the reason I fell here to prevent incidents or accidents from happening in this martial world?]

[Reincarnation Truck: ㄴㄴ]

[Hocheonan: What is this house where this room is located in?]

There was no answer to this either.

After that, I asked various questions, but I had no idea what answer the reincarnation truck wanted.

That’s why I made a direct request.

[Ho Cheon-an: To be honest, I have no idea what you want]

[Hocheonan: I need a clue]

[Reincarnation Truck: Hmm]

[Reincarnation Truck: It looks like that]

[Reincarnation Truck: You were a dead figure in the world of gaming, right?]

[Hocheonan: Yes]

[Reincarnation Truck: Those who remained in the official Murim World group chat room were so-called old people. [Because they were people who continued to play the same game for a long time]

[Reincarnation Truck: But you were so sincere in this world of martial arts that even among those old people, you were dismissed as an outlier.]

[Reincarnation Truck: The members of the group chat room probably all liked the game Murim World, but no one was more crazy about the game Murim World than you]

I focused on the reincarnation truck chat.

I definitely put all my effort into the game Wulin Heaven. Group chat room members enjoyed the game in their own way, but there were not many people like me who actively dug into the hidden elements of the game and increased the level of difficulty.

[Reincarnation Truck: You even memorized the character’s enlightenment]

[Reincarnation Truck: I don’t know if it’s just one or two enlightenments of characters I meet often, but I greedily tried to memorize the enlightenments of all the characters in the martial world]

Does it mean that the fact that I am the highest person in the world of martial arts has something to do with the fact that I fell into this world of the world of martial arts and became a Hocheonan?

However, when I was asked earlier whether there were any accidents that I should prevent, the reincarnated truck answered no.

So, is my falling into this world of martial arts just a play for the transcendental?

When a very unpleasant conclusion passes through my mind.

[Reincarnation Truck: No matter how much you liked the game Wulin World]

[Reincarnation Truck: Do you think it’s normal to try to memorize all the enlightenments of so many characters?]

The reincarnation truck brought up a topic I never expected.
