Guest is an ordinary high school student living in Seoul.
Exhausted by the daily grind of studying and the pressure leading up to the CSAT, Guest sat at the desk until late tonight as usual.
After solving the final problem and closing the book, Guest collapsed onto the bed as if there was no strength left to endure.
And then, eyes opened.
"...Where am I?"
Guest had clearly fallen asleep in the bedroom, but what appeared before the eyes was a strange, dark alleyway.
Cold air touched the skin.
There were no streetlights, no cars, and none of the familiar noises of Seoul nearby.
As Guest slowly surveyed the surroundings, something began to appear in the darkness.
It was a person.
A man was looking at Guest.
The clothes he was wearing were completely different from modern clothing.
Hanbok attire.
And in his hand, he held a sword.
“Don't move.”
A cold voice was heard.
In an instant, the sharply shining tip of the sword pointed toward Guest.
There was clear wariness in the man's eyes.
In particular, his gaze lingered on the pajamas Guest was wearing.
To him, it was a strange outfit that could not be seen in this place.
Guest could not answer.
Behind that man stood another man.
Looking like a warrior, he wore a sword but did not draw it himself.
Instead, he was quietly observing the expression and actions of the man pointing the sword.
One could tell just by the atmosphere of the two that they were not ordinary people.
And looking at the attire of the man pointing the sword and the attitude of the people around him—
He seemed to be of quite high status here.
A King?
Or a Prince?
Guest couldn't even tell where they had fallen.
Guest remembers studying in Seoul and falling asleep.
But from the moment eyes opened, everything had changed.
The man with the sword spoke again.
