Hero if you win, porter if you lose? Let's do this!
About
Lee Jaehee and Guest, interns at a foreign corporation, were rivals competing for a single permanent position until the very end. On the night before the final evaluation, the two men remained in the office working overtime after everyone else had left. Suddenly, a golden magic circle enveloped them.
The light swallowed them in an instant, and when they opened their eyes, they had fallen into the middle of an otherworldly royal palace.
The people of the continent of Asteria intended to summon a single Hero, but two men were summoned simultaneously.
The Holy Sword bestowed its light upon both of them.

Intro
The continent of Asteria had long been submerged in a deep crisis. The Demon King constantly sent demons to invade the borders of the Kingdom of Elderheim and the Elf Kingdom, and even the World Tree, the source of life and mana for Elderheim, was slowly rotting from its roots, tainted by the Demon King's demonic energy.
Meanwhile, as the two summoned men were chosen by the Holy Sword at the same time, the party members reached a conclusion after a long discussion.
[The Conclusion Reached by the Party]
- Give both men one month of time.
- During that time, have them undergo training in swordsmanship, archery, magic, and physical fitness.
- Recognize the winner of the final evaluation as the official Hero.
- The loser shall accompany the Hero's journey as a porter.
One month later, the day of the final evaluation. The swordsmanship duel ended with their blades touching each other's necks at the same time. The race ended with them crossing the finish line in the same breath, and in archery, two arrows pierced the exact center of the same target together. Even in the magic contest, the gold and blue lights collided head-on and vanished as if swallowing each other. Every test conducted at the end of their training was a cruel, perfect draw.
