I Became the Villain’s Childhood Friend

12 – [1] World Gate

#012

* * *

In the middle of the 21st century, when the rotation period increased from 24 hours to 30 hours thanks to some crazy people, the Florida Peninsula turned into the Florida Islands, and the abnormal temperature entered the Pleasant Mountains.

Even in the world that is getting closer to the end of the world, what students like can be summarized into one.

“““It’s a picnic!”””

It was the day I didn’t study.

Excluding vacations and holidays, field experiential learning deserves to be called the pinnacle.

Of course, as long as it is ‘learning’, there may be room for study, but why would a picnic be another word for field experiential learning?

It usually meant going somewhere to play, and the vast majority of cases had nothing to do with studying.

In that sense, this picnic meant going to a place related to the hunter’s job.

“Everyone take your seats and fasten your seat belts!”

Of course, I didn’t sit down and I didn’t wear it.

Still, as a model student, I sat still.

Afterwards, I turned on the song that made me fall asleep and looked at the city surrounded by the terrible climate of the Korean Peninsula.

Gradually intoxicated by the peace away from studying—

“f*ck you kids. You used to win well, but this time you lose?!”

I couldn’t shake it.

It was because the daughter of a rich family next to her was biting into crab foam not befitting her appearance.

“When will these be dismantled?”

I sat down after hearing that I had no friends, but seriously, it was too noisy.

No, in fact, it was usually noisy, but today it was even louder.

So I glared at the girl next to me, telling me to be quiet.

As if showing off her platinum bobbed hair and red eyes, Cheonmari put on a sad expression as if she was very unfair.

Anyone who sees it will know that there is a funeral.

Knock-!

In the meantime, the bus shook once.

It seemed like a section where something had to be done at low speed, and when I looked out the window, today’s destination was shining like the sea.

– “Students, the gate you see on the right is today’s destination, the World Gate.”

A vortex barrier that seems to be several tens of meters high and wide.

A metal structure that surrounds the vortex barrier.

A world gate that connects to a fixed point in another world, different from a dungeon gate that temporarily leads to a labyrinth.

The shimmering was like a storm that occurred in time and space.

– “The origin of the World Gate is from the miraculous results of occult research that started accidentally in 1935.”

– “After that, research over and over again. In 1938, the first World Gate was installed in Webelsburg, Germany.”

– “The World Gate here in Sariwon Metropolitan City was installed in 1940. Even after liberation, it has continued without a single interruption until now.”

A story from the history books.

The only thing that wasn’t explained was that from the moment the World Gate was installed, the surrounding area became a random spawn point for the Dungeon Gate.

This was also the reason why hunter companies, called guilds, gathered around Sariwon in 5th order.

Actually, I can’t even get close to it.

The bus circled around the gate and stopped.

The students got out of the car one by one and joined the teachers who were waiting in advance.

Seeing that they were going on a picnic over the gate, everyone was dressed in an unusual way.

Some kids, like me, came dressed like a winter picnic, but others came with swords or spears or thick armor.

“Oh, it’s a bit heavy.”

Of course, there were people who brought a lot of strange things like this guy.

I looked at the 1,000 horses who had packed their bags and equipment like a Himalayan climber.

“Today was just a picnic, so why did you come like that?”

“What, you’re talking about exploring ruins? You don’t know what’s ahead of you, so wouldn’t it be better to be prepared?”

Is it because he is a regressor that he knows what will happen in the future?

No, to say the least, I was unfamiliar with Hunter Middle School itself from the time I entered.

Considering this, the preparation of the thousand horses was quite sincere.

It was strange, but it was possible enough for those who like excesses.

I sighed and glanced at the equipment the other side was wearing around my waist.

First aid kit, water bottle, lighter, long sword, ice axe, strangling wire… … ?

why did you bring this?

“And from what I’ve seen, it’s rather like you who went too far.”

“Am I passing by?”

“Anyway, isn’t it too much to go to the ruins and come just to escape the cold?”

“Then what should I do? As you?”

“Isn’t it common sense for middle school students to bring an ax when going on a picnic?”

Common sense

During school trips, I thought I should be worried that this guy didn’t even bring a Battle X.

I shook my head.

Then, Cheonma-ri said, ‘Would you like to lend me a dagger?’

“It’s 5 million won, so don’t lose it when you go back later.”

“If that’s the case, don’t lend it in the first place… … .”

I don’t know.

First of all, I thought it would be appropriate to wear it even if I was sincere, so I wore it on my ankle.

After that, it was while I was bending over to tie the rope.

Teachers were running around with plastic buckets.

“Give all your friends who are holding electronic devices to the teacher!”

It was difficult to bring electronic devices beyond the World Gate.

To be precise, the import itself was possible, but it didn’t work.

“When crossing the World Gate, electronic devices may break down due to overvoltage, so everyone please submit it~”

“Charelthea’s physical laws are slightly different from Earth’s. Even if you barely avoid failures, the condition of the electronic devices can go wrong, so just turn in everything.”

“Don’t say it’s strange that it’s broken by the rift storm after holding it all the way! You won’t have to use regular electronic devices anyway, so everyone submit quickly!”

1. Possibility of device failure when crossing the World Gate.

2. Possibility of malfunction due to strange physics of Charelthea beyond the World Gate.

3. Possibility of incapacitating electronics due to a phenomenon called rift storm that occurs when forgetting.

As a matter of fact, this was also the case with the dungeon gate’s labyrinth.

To be honest, beyond the gate wasn’t a very pleasant place for those who enjoyed the world of IT.

In fact, money and the future are directly related, so it’s just a matter of heading, but none of them are better than Earth.

“Everyone enter!”

However, some people said that there is an idyllic romance and a romance overflowing with magic, which are ruined by modern civilization.

It was a medieval fantasy sensibility that I had only encountered in novels and games in my previous life, and it was a very attractive world to me.

And that was always my story as a possessor.

For people on this side, such feelings were natural and obvious.

Of course, the opinions of those who pursue romance were often ignored.

wheein!

Crucially, unlike other countries, Korea’s World Gate had one fatal problem.

It was not a medieval field full of flowers and grass, but a point that it was connected to a refrigerator full of white snow.

“Kyaaagh.”

“Kyaaagh.”

“Kyaaa”

It’s not the Arctic of another world, though.

Welcome to the far north of another world.

When I crossed the gate, a white, knife-like wind blew.

The children, who wore thin clothes for no reason, complained of pain from the cold.

As expected, the teachers quickly covered the blanket with the warming magic.

On the other hand, the well-dressed children looked around.

Then, the scenery of the country’s key base of Charelthea, the snowy landscape, was revealed.

“Wow-”

“I’ve only seen snow scenes on the Internet, but they look like this.”

“Is it too cold? Do you think you have to catch monsters in a place like this later?”

“I would rather emigrate to Japan or England. At least there are jungles and mountains.”

“Everyone, to the train station in order!”

The sight of a sophisticated and neatly built metropolis despite being in a cold province.

If you listen to the old story, it was originally just a village in a cold province.

However, the fate of the village changed as the value of the Magic Stone, which was only a blue stone, was rediscovered.

from bottom to top.

from center to side.

to build more facilities.

to have more skills.

to get more gems.

Supplies continued and the city moved on.

And the result was today.

“Are all bases in other countries like this?”

“depending on? But the size is definitely different. Especially since the US is huge.”

“Oh, have you been there?”

“How many times. But it wasn’t a very good experience because it was a desert.”

The story of Gray Zone was centered on the American base.

There was no way that Chunma, an axis of the game and a regressor, was unaware of the American base in the middle of the desert.

Of course, I, who was brought into the game world, knew at least what an American base looked like.

this was just a question

“Everyone, get your train ticket and board the designated seat.”

A train station where steam and smoke can be seen rising.

As it is a different world, it seems to be going to a mysterious place if you enter around 9 and 3/4 with a medieval or modern appearance, but it was not at all.

It was a modern train station from the outside to the inside, and the trains on the tracks were all modern.

The only difference was that it had a chimney on top.

Under the leadership of the teachers, all the students boarded the train.

Unlike Earth’s trains, it had a somewhat modern feel, but anyway, the basis was modern.

Of course, due to the nature of Charelthea, it was difficult to supply and control electricity, so the lights were all made of magic.

The floating lights in the sky seemed to reveal at once what this world was.

After a moment of appreciation, I sat down with a thousand horses, just like on the bus.

“Because our next destination is the recently discovered ancient ruins. Everyone, please don’t get off at the wrong place and get lost!”

“““Yeah-”””

Another world, recent, ancient ruins.

It could have been said that I was going to die because it was dangerous, but I was relieved because this destination was already a tourist product.

Even if it’s a magical place, what happens when people go sightseeing.

Anything that could be a problem should have been cleaned up by hunters or civil servants a long time ago.

“I only need three hours of sleep.”

I have no doubts about the future.

I put my eyes on for a while for more sightseeing.

It was when Kang Xian fell asleep and Chun Ma was assembling something beside him.

A group of people was watching them from a far back seat.
