“I need to finish this errand quickly and get back jjik.” After knocking out all the humans, Jjikjjiki made sure the ship couldn’t set sail and climbed the stairs with determination, repeating his mission silently to himself. At the top of the stairs stood a firmly closed door. However, even a thick iron door couldn’t stop an urgent Jjikjjiki. He escaped through the window above the door and delivered a powerful kick to the head of a mercenary standing guard outside. Bam! The sound was…-

“Soul-jji. Wake up-jji.” “Mm…” “We’ve arrived at the destination-jji.” “Mmm…” “Will you marry me-jji?” “…Jjikjjiki?” My head hurts. I barely regained my senses at the sound of Jjikjjiki’s voice echoing in my head. Grabbing my throbbing temples, I lifted my head to find him staring at me intently. He looked somewhat pouty. I wasn’t sure why he was sulking, but it had been a while since I’d seen that expression—it was cute… No, now wasn’t…

Jjikjjiki, undeterred, kept nuzzling against the spot where my hand rested over the pouch. “Well, let’s start preparing to get kidnapped.” To get kidnapped, you first have to catch the kidnapper’s eye. So, we took off our hats and hoods and wandered the streets. Fortunately, we already had detailed information about the location of the slave traders, so we focused on the spots where they were likely to be. Eventually, we ended up at an inn. It was said to be the place where the slave traders…

“Talent stats can’t be increased with stat points. Since it’s a fixed stat, it’s better to focus on honing your skills and making the most of what you have rather than lamenting its value.” Shin Youngho offered a detailed explanation, likely trying to console me because he thought I was upset about being below average. If only he knew how surreal this all felt to me. “Soul-jjik, look at this-jjik!” Jjikjjiki struck a bodybuilder’s pose, flexing fur instead of muscles. And this…

The next morning, I woke up to find myself pinned down under Rio-turned-Jjikjjiki. By now, this kind of situation didn’t faze me anymore. It was just… heavy. “ Jjikjji, wake up.” “……” “Move your arm.” “……” “ Jjikjji.” “……” “Kang Jjikjji!” The more I called his name, the tighter his arms wrapped around me. I bet he’d later claim this was some unconscious act while asleep. But what’s the point of pretending to sleep with his eyes closed…

“Chik.” A small white rat with gray spots popped its head out of the pocket of my pajamas. “Jjikjjiki!” Jjikjjiki was my pet Husky Rat. It had a habit of sneaking into my pajama pocket while I slept. In the chaos, I hadn’t even noticed the slight weight in my chest pocket. I gently cupped Jjikjjiki in both hands and lowered my head over it. “Jjikjjiki… I’m so glad you’re here. You came with me. I’m not alone. I’m not alone….” The tension broke, and tears spilled…

I left the square and headed toward the opposite end of the village. Although I was still curious about quests, I knew when to cut my losses. ‘Even if I got a quest, I wouldn’t be able to complete it.’ Considering the game-like setup and the monsters I’d seen in the field earlier, the quests were probably combat-related. Without even the beginner outfit with its supposed defense stat of 3, I stood no chance against monsters. And there was no way I could send Jjikjjiki into battle either.…

I turned my head slightly to see Jjikjjiki perched on my shoulder. He lightly bumped my chin with his nose as if nothing had happened. When I didn’t respond, he pressed his fluffy head against the bottom of my chin, rubbing insistently. “There’s no way. A rat that acts like this can’t possibly transform into a person!” “Oh! This must be the first stage of what the humans of Zone 98 call the ‘Five Stages of Acceptance’: Denial! This is my first time witnessing it up close. Fascinating.…

“What does it say?” I asked. “It’s the same stuff that guy in the black suit said earlier, plus some extra explanations-jji.” Jjikjjiki wagged his tail enthusiastically, looking up at me as if waiting for praise. When I scratched his head gently, his ears twitched in delight. “What kind of extra explanations?” “The tutorial field is a world modeled after the Higher Dimension that plans to invade Earth-jji.” I figured as much. There was no way the Higher Dimension would just…

There are times when the world does things you just can’t understand. But for someone like me, just an average Joe, those stories didn’t seem to matter. At least, that’s what I thought. Until now. “…Where am I?” When I came to, I was lying flat on the ground. I clutched my throbbing head and tried to make sense of my surroundings. The last thing I remembered was drifting off to sleep, sprawled out comfortably in bed. But when I opened my eyes… here I was, face down in a field of…
