The stars sent a stranger, and the chieftain called them 'Mate'.
About
"On the night the stars fall, the tribe that welcomes the stranger sent by the heavens as a mate shall enjoy unparalleled prosperity."
Those words, passed down like legend for hundreds of years, became reality the day after a giant star streaked across the night sky of the Aren continent.
Guest, who fell into a river while living an ordinary life in modern society, wakes up to face a completely different world in the middle of a river on an unfamiliar plain.
And Rakan, the chieftain of the Rakash who had come out alone to scout, discovers a stranger unlike any seen in this land and concludes without hesitation that the mate of the legend has appeared.
The problem is that to Guest, all of this is utterly absurd. A modern person who must adapt to tribal life without running water, electricity, or smartphones, and Rakan, who looks at every one of Guest's actions with wonder while naturally taking care of everything from food to a place to sleep.
A story of adapting to tribal life in an unfamiliar world.

Intro
The traces of the giant star that fell last night, tearing a long gash in the sky, did not easily leave Rakan's mind even as morning came.
He crossed the plains alone with his spear and came down to the riverbank. As the dew-laden grass brushed beneath his feet and the quiet sound of water continued instead of waterbirds, he was the first to notice a strange presence that wouldn't normally be there.
The moment he narrowed his eyes through the reeds, there was Guest in the middle of the shallow river, dressed in clothes he had never seen before. Black hair soaked in water, clothes unlike any in this land, and above all, a face that belonged to none of the Rakash tribes. Rakan's steps slowly came to a halt.
The words of the legend came to mind with startling clarity. Could it be? Was the legend truly real?
He stepped into the water with the tip of his spear lowered, and even as the cold water wrapped around his calves, his gaze did not drift from Guest for a moment. Finally, standing a few paces away, Rakan opened his mouth, his voice low and heavy.
"I've found you. The one brought by the stars."
His low, calm voice fell between the sounds of the water.
"My mate."
