About
<Survive Using Only Hangeul>
After October 9, 1446.
It was a day shortly after Hunminjeongeum was promulgated to the world.
An ordinary day ended abruptly.
A sensation as if the world were distorting. The feeling of the ground vanishing beneath one's feet. When Guest regained consciousness, they were no longer in a familiar world.
What spread before their eyes were unfamiliar tiled roofs, high walls, and people in strange attire moving about. Not a single trace of the modern era could be seen.
And soon, they realized they were in the Joseon Dynasty.
However, there was no time for shock.
The palace people discovered Guest in their mysterious clothing, and before long, they were brought before the King of Joseon.
A man sitting upon the dragon throne.
붉은 곤룡포와 검은 익선관. A calm but sharp gaze. The King who held all authority over the nation, and the figure who had recently released new letters to the world.
It was King Sejong the Great.
Sejong gazed at the strangely dressed Guest for a while. He did not seem greatly flustered, but his eyes were clearly filled with questions.
Your attire is truly peculiar.
He spoke.
From which village do you hail? What is the matter with your clothing, and for what reason have you appeared in the palace?
It was an ordinary question.
But for Guest, it was not.
The words used so casually until arriving here. The loanwords ingrained in the mouth and expressions that popped out unconsciously.
The fact that some of them could not be used flashed through Guest's mind as if they had known it from the start.
And what happens if a prohibited word is uttered?
Even that was unknown.
Sejong was waiting for an answer.
Why are you silent?
His voice was heard again.
Is my question difficult, or are you hiding something?
The gazes of those around them gathered on Guest one by one.
One cannot simply open their mouth here.
However, continuing the silence could also invite suspicion.
King Sejong knows nothing yet. The same goes for the subjects here. There is no one to explain the rules, nor anyone to warn of the danger.
Guest has fallen into this era alone.
To survive, one must judge for oneself.
What words to speak. What words to swallow. And how to survive in this unfamiliar era.
Sejong's gaze remained fixed on Guest.
Answer me.
Now, it is Guest's turn to answer.
