Chapter 1: I was summoned by mistake and caught by a Demon King

[For a lowly race, this is pretty good.]

[But it’s so ridiculous!]

The final floor of the Demon King’s castle.

The Demon King’s mocking voice echoed throughout the space.

“Huk..huk..”

The hero’s holy sword, which contained the goddess’s blessing, failed to cut down the Demon King.

“Magic doesn’t work…?”

The ultimate magic of the Archmage wizard failed to reach the Demon King.

“…”

The knight’s Aura Sword did not leave a single scratch on the Demon King’s body.

“Ah.. Goddess.”

The saint’s miracle was crushed by the Demon King’s magic.

[Keuhaha-! It’s getting boring now, can I end this, Hero?]

That’s right.

The Hero’s party, the continent’s only hope, was unable to withstand the Demon King’s power.

Jeeing- As soon as the Demon King raised his hand, terrible magic began to gather in his grasp.

The Demon King, whose red eyes glowed inside his black helmet, did not doubt his victory for the slightest.

Your defeat.

The moment the Demon King uttered his last words and was about to throw the energy he had gathered in his hand.

Kwak-!!

[…]

Something slammed down through the ceiling and pierced the Demon King’s chest…

[What the…!]

Thud…

With one last blow, the Demon King fell to the ground, clutching his holed chest.

“.”

“You.. are dead?”

A heavy silence flowed through the room.

The gazes of the warriors and party members turned to the ceiling of the Demon King’s castle where there was a hole, and then to the Demon King’s corpse which also had a hole in its heart.

Just a moment ago, they had been despairing that everything was over, but as if it were a lie, the Demon King had died suddenly.

The terrifying thing was that even the combined strength of all of the so-called strong warriors and party members could not touch the Demon King even a single hair, but he was hit by something that flew at an unperceivable speed.

Thud. Thud.

At that moment, a single footstep was heard coming from the entrance.

Iron Grooke…

A shabby robed intruder walking towards the Demon King’s corpse while carrying a lump of iron called a ‘sniper rifle’ on his back.

Thud… The monster passed by the warrior party who were staring at him intently and stopped in front of the Demon King’s corpse.

Swish.

He slowly moved his hand to take off the hood of his robe.

“.”

He was a man with an ordinary face you could see anywhere, but his ashen hair and odd- colored eyes gave his face personality.

Jeeing Of the two black and silver eyes, the silver pupil moved like a camera lens and examined the Demon King’s corpse.

[No life response]

The artificial eye, a mechanical device that observes the opponent, confirms the Demon King’s death.

“It’s finally over.”

The man, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, Han Yoo-seong closed his eyes for a moment and reminisced about the past.

I think I was summoned by mistake… Your Majesty.

It was wrong from the start.

An ordinary high school student was involved in a huge incident where he was summoned as a warrior from another world, but it was his friend Seyeon who was next to him, and Han Yooseong was summoned along with him just because he was next to her.

Is there no way to return?

He asked, thinking that if he was summoned by mistake, he could just return.

The magic circle that transcends dimensions can only be used with the help of the goddess.

In other words, he could only return if he had the help of the goddess, and in order to meet the goddess, he had no choice but to stab the warrior’s sword into the corpse of the demon king, as in the legend.

Yoo-seong, wait at the castle.

I’ll take care of it and come back.

The good friend, Seyeon, told him to wait at the castle, saying that he, as a warrior, would take full responsibility.

No. Should I help too?

It’s a matter of going home.

Even if it’s doing odd jobs or being a porter.

However, even if he got involved by mistake, it’s a journey to return home.

Yooseong thought that it was right to help his friend, a warrior, as much as he could.

Then, I will check the job aptitudes of the warrior and his close friend.

It was said that in this world, there were things called ‘jobs’ and that depending on the job, you could gain mysterious abilities that could not be explained by science.

As expected, Warrior Jin Seyeon’s occupation is “Warrior of Light’!

Of course, Seyeon got a job as a warrior.

Hmm…

Han Yooseong’s job is ‘Conjugationist!

Yooseong, who is not a warrior, got a ‘Conjugationist job, which is considered trash among jobs.

To be honest, at first, I didn’t understand why conjugation was trash.

Conjugation was the power to conjure up metal equipment or mechanical devices without blueprints or materials.

However, Yooseong soon realized why conjugation was a trash job.

It’s trash efficiency.

The magic power needed to make one sword is enough to fire three 3-circle fireballs, which are no different from one grenade.

Who would make an ordinary longsword when one fireball can kill about 10 soldiers?

Even making an artifact with magical effects requires dozens of times the basic mana, so unless you’re a magic lord or a dragon, you can’t even make a small artifact.

The larger the size, the more mana it takes, so it is impossible to make a weapon like a catapult unless you are a great wizard who has reached 10 circles.

But who would make a catapult if they can use magic like a meteor at 10 circles?

That is why the necromancer was known as a trash job.

Han Yooseong, you can be the porter who assists the hero.

In the end, Yooseong ended up taking on the position of the porter for the hero party even though he had the job of a necromancer.

It was a result that he had planned in advance, but it was a little bitter.

However, Yooseong was glad that he could take on even the smallest task that could help his friend, and he promised to do his best to help his friend who would risk his life on this journey.

Let me introduce the party members who will help the hero.

And a few days later, three companions with the positions of ‘wizard, warrior, and priest were added, just like the traditional hero party.

My name is Karen Redleaf.

I am a half-elf and a court magician.

The red-haired, sharp-looking half-elf girl is the magician Karen.

The name of this knight is Sylvia Sylvester.

I will fight as the sword of the warrior. Sylvia Sylvester, a refined beauty with silver hair and silver armor.

The goddess will watch over the warrior’s journey.

The woman with black hair and pure blue eyes is Saint Lea Forte.

They are all women who fit the word beauty, and each of them had incredible abilities and were worthy of being members of the warrior party.

Their appearance standing with Seyeon was so gorgeous and a picture of the warrior party that YooSeong felt intimidated as if he were an impurity.

I am Han Yoo Seong, the porter.

Don’t worry about the luggage, I will take responsibility for it all!

The more I did that, the more I tried to approach them first and become close to them, and as the supporter of the party, I did my best to solve their worries and emotional problems.

YooSeong doesn’t discriminate against me because I’m a half-elf. You are the only one who sees me as I am.

YooSeong… Do you really think that dresses suit me?

If you want, I’m willing to show you.

Can I… accept such a cute teddy bear?

Ugh… Yoo Seong-nim is so stubborn.

I thought I had become quite close with them and that we were helping each other out.

Huh?

Why didn’t you just die?

Get up! With that kind of skill, how dare you join the warrior’s party..!

The goddess is cursing your existence, Yoo Seong. At some point, their relationship went completely away.

Karen, who would nag him but eventually help him, used the excuse of catching monsters to include Yooseong in the range of her magic and spammed his magic.

Sylvia, who had been a good example and diligent in training his physical strength and teaching him martial arts for emergencies, used the excuse of sparring due to Yooseong’s lack of skill to the point of violence’ that made his bones and internal organs burst.

Saint Rhea, who always had a kind smile on her face, would mix a curse (poison) in a potion and give it to him, or would always spew venomous words at YooSeong along with contempt, saying, ‘The goddess is cursing you!

Why are you all acting like this?!

What did I do to you guys?!

Please tell me why! Then I’ll fix it..

Sigh..!

I just don’t understand why you guys are acting like this!

It’s driving me crazy!

No matter how much he thought about it, Yoosung continued to complain and try to talk to the party members who couldn’t understand why they suddenly showed hatred.

However, what should he do when they ‘just’ look at him and he hates him and wants to kill him?

I’m sorry.. YooSung.

No matter how much I try to persuade them, those three won’t listen to me.

Seyeon, his friend, knew what the other party members were doing to Yooseong, so she comforted him, feeling sorry as if she had done something wrong.

Why don’t we just go back to the castle?

Yooseong, Yoo-seong was troubled by his friend’s suggestion.

After traveling together for a long time, he had been determined to complete this journey as he had promised at the beginning.

He felt hurt by going back because he had died not by a monster’s attack but by the hands of his fellow comrades.

Okay. However, he was so exhausted and thought that if he continued like this, he would really die by the hands of his comrades, so he accepted his friend Seyeon’s suggestion and returned to the castle.

You came, Yoo-seong.

How was the journey of the warriors?

After returning, Yooseong had to explain the journey to the king and nobles who were curious about the journey of the warriors.

In the process, he was distressed as the terrible memories of the three comrades came to mind, but as a mere porter and a parasite to his warrior friends in the castle, Yooseong had to play the role of a storyteller in order not to be concerned.

As the interest of the king and nobles died down, a thought suddenly crossed YooSung’s mind. Transmutation is the ability to create objects without a blueprint or materials.

The conditions are that you must know the classification of the tool you want to create and see it in action at least once.

Then, can’t I create the weapons I saw in movies or on TV?

The reason that transmutation is considered trash is because the background of this world is similar to the Middle Ages, where cold weapons are mainly used. However, what if you could create firearms and science fiction weapons from movies? –

Transmutation is not trash.

Rather… it might be the strongest ability… At least for me.

After realizing about transmutation, YooSung tried to recreate the science fiction weapons he remembered.

Ta-ang! Bang!

He created a firearm. Clinkd Geeing.

He created a suit to assist his physical abilities.

Beep- [Combat module in operation] He created auxiliary mechanical devices and robots that would be helpful in battle.

The fact that all of these things could be created without the need for blueprints or materials, only with magic and a clear image in one’s imagination, made it possible!

Of course, because of the characteristic of transmutation where the larger the volume, the more magic power is consumed, it was impossible to create them in one go, and the parts had to be made separately.

Assembling them was as simple as putting Legos together, but at the same time, if there was even a slight mistake, the device that took several days to make would not work, so he felt the need for basic knowledge and studied the principles of magic engineering and magic.

Yooseong enjoyed the entire process.

There was something he could do, which he had been powerless over, and at the same time, it was something that made him stronger, so he desperately clung to it.

Yooseong… Are you sure it’s okay? Just wait for the warrior…

It doesn’t suit me to stay still.

When he judged that he had enough strength, he left the castle and began his journey to defeat the Demon King alone.

Krm-! Uggeooo!! Thump-! Thump-!

Just like before, all kinds of terrible monsters attacked Yooseong.

Taang-Taang-! Kwaaaaang-!!

The overwhelming firepower of machine guns, missile launchers, beam rifles, and other firearms. Shoooo… Kwaaang-!!

No monster could survive the bombardment of pile bunkers (iron stakes) from satellite drones several kilometers in the sky.

Demon King’s Castle.

Seyeon must have already arrived.

And she had finally reached the Demon King’s Castle.

If she could just defeat the Demon King inside that castle, she would be able to return to the Earth home she longed for even in her dreams and see her precious family again.

Yoo- seong swallowed the bitterness that was already welling up to her throat and threatening to burst as he moved the drone.

It would be foolish to charge straight through.

He used the drone’s periscope function to take pictures of the situation inside the Demon King’s Castle and confirmed it with the prosthetic eye implanted in his eye.

Are they fighting?

He also thought that maybe the warrior party had arrived first, defeated the Demon King, and only Se-yeon had returned home.

That was only natural, since there had been a gap of several months between the warrior party’s progress and Yooseong’s progress.

However, the meteor was too fast and the warrior party’s progress was slow because the meteor that had been solving all the chores was gone.

The moment the meteor arrived was the very moment the warrior party was confronting the Demon King.

Demon King, Can Seyen and the others win? Seyen and Sylvia Sylvester swung their swords, and Karen Redleaf and Lea Forte shot magic and divine powers, all visible to Yoo Sung through his prosthetic eye.

“It’s not working, right?”

Even though the warrior party’s skills had already grown stronger since they had separated at first glance, their attacks did not reach the Demon King at all.

The good news is that the measured destructive power level isn’t that high.

The power of the warrior party’s skills as observed by the drone was no higher than the destructive power of the firearms that Yoo Sung had.

“Send railgun.”

[Order confirmed.]

Just in case, Yoo Sung loaded the most powerful weapon he could.

–Ping.

He aimed for the Demon King’s heart and shot. Swish!

Ametal stake thrown by a drone flying above the clouds plummeted towards the target like the teeth of a comb, riding on a dense electric current. Crunch-!

[What the..!]

With a blow that even the Demon King didn’t recognize, he killed him!

“Are we done..?”

After that, Yooseong headed to the final floor of the Demon King’s castle through the path the warrior party had made.

This was the end of Yooseong’s journey after being summoned by mistake.

“Yooseong- ah?”

Warrior Jin Seyeon said the name of an unfamiliar but familiar friend as she saw his face.

“Why is he here…?”

“Ha.. This is ridiculous.”

“Han. Yooseong”

The rest of the warrior party recognized Yooseong by seeing his hair that had turned ashen due to the curse cast by the saintess and the scars on his face from his sloppy martial arts training,”

Wordlessly, Yoo-seong tried to touch the Demon King’s corpse to confirm the kill. Sareung-!

“You punk! Don’t touch the Demon King’s corpsel Knight Sylvia shouted while aiming her sword at YooSeong. ”

We took them all down and you just attacked them with your last attack..!”

Magician Karen shouted with an indignant face.

“Han YooSeong, You have absolutely no part in defeating the Demon King. The first one to lay a hand on the dead Demon King is the warrior chosen by the Goddess.”

Saintess Leah murmured with a look of disgust and contempt.

“What are you guys talking about..?!”

When Seyun was flustered and shouted at the party members in the current situation where YooSeong had defeated the Demon King, the party members tried to open their mouths again.

“Everyone shut up.”

YooSeong’s words shut their mouths.

The faces of the three party members except for the warrior had expressions like “How dare you?!”

“I defeated the Demon King that even you could not do anything about. It wouldn’t take even a second for me to kill you three years ago. Please, I’m holding back even though I want to kill you so badly, so shut up.”

The growl was like the resentful howl of a wounded wolf.

The three of them, who had a thought that they might really die because of the sticky murderous look in YooSung’s eyes, turned their heads or lowered their faces with uncomfortable expressions.

No matter how insignificant and hateful Yoosung might seem to them, anyone who wasn’t an idiot could not help but know that the attack that killed the Demon King was caused by YooSung

“Seyeon-ah.”

“Uh… uh, YooSung-ah.”

Yoo Sung turned his head and called his friend with a blank face.

“Let’s go home.”

He asked his friend to stick his sword in.

If you stick your sword in the Demon King’s corpse, a goddess will appear.

If that legend was true, the goddess would appear as soon as Seyeon stuck her sword in and they would be able to go home.

“That’s Yoo Sung-ah…”

Seyeon hesitated for a moment, thinking about the new relationships she had made in this world.”

” At her friend’s desperate, eamest gaze.

“Okay. Let’s go back.”

Seyeon chose her friend who must have suffered instead of the relationships of this world, and walked towards the Demon King’s corpse with her sword drawn.

Phew!

The hero’s sword was stuck into the Demon King’s corpse.

Paat

The surroundings turned white as if white paint was pouring down.

‘Here…?”

Yooseong felt a shiver and looked around as usual.

A space like a white night without any boundaries of color or line.

There, without Seyeon or any other party members, only Yooseong was standing there.

“The connection with the drone was lost… The equipment cube is working.”

Yooseong started checking his equipment in preparation for any situation.

At that moment, white feathers fluttered around him…

[Han Yooseong ]

Awoman’s voice caught Yooseong’s attention.

“Goddess.?”

A beautiful woman with a brilliant golden glow and white wings spread out.

A woman with a divine yet noble appearance that seemed to captivate people, but Yooseong soon thought that the woman was a ‘goddess’ and threw away his thoughts about her appearance and began to organize his thoughts.

He asked why he was involved in the summoning of the warrior and why no action was taken.

And he tried to ask for his most important goal, ‘return home!

[You are so annoying.]

But the next moment, a single word coming out of the goddess’s mouth blew away all the thoughts in YooSung’s head.

“What?”

[Han YooSung.]

Because of your insect-like existence, the perfect story I had woven has been completely ruined.

“What do you mean?!”

[No matter how much I try to shake it off, it keeps crawling closer and closer to the end.. Honestly, the very situation where I, a noble goddess, am talking to an extra like you is disgusting.]

Snap-! The goddess snapped her fingers.

Paaat-!

The white space turned dark and the goddess’s figure also began to move away.

“Wait! Wait!!”

Yoo Sung ran towards the goddess like crazy and stretched out his hand, but.

(It’s disillusioning.]

The goddess’s figure completely disappeared.

“Fuck!! Send me back! How..! How did I get here!!!”

YooSung swore at the goddess as he fell endlessly into the black abyss.

“Send me back..! Huh!. Huh?”

Blurry vision and heavy breathing.

Looking around, a blanket was draped over his body and Yoosung himself was in bed.

“..?”

Odd-eyed’s eyes blankly surveyed the interior of the place he was currently in.

In the small space that reeked of iron, there was a single work shelf, and on that shelf were wooden dolls reminiscent of objects from Earth that Yoosung had carved himself, as well as small mechanical devices that were half-assembled. It had to be the ‘workshop’, his only sanctuary at the moment.

“That dream again.. It’s been years.”

Yoo-sung frowned and rubbed his particularly cold silver eyes with his hand.

Even after retiring as a former warrior party member and living in seclusion in a small workshop in a back alley, memories of his last moments occasionally came back to him as nightmares and tormented him.

That was because the fact that he couldn’t return home despite all the hardships and hardships he had endured at the time was a great shock to Yoosung.

Even now, five years after he was an immature high school student, Yooseong still longed to go home.

Tiring-Tiring- “?”

At that moment, a bell rang from the iron door of the workshop.

Someone had rung the bell that was installed as a substitute for the doorbell.

“No one is coming today..?”

Tiring! Tiring!

Yooseong felt puzzled, but as the bell rang louder, he got up from his bed and walked towards the iron door, dragging his slippers. Swish.

Grabbing the doorknob.. Squeak-.

He slowly opened the door.

“Who?”

The moment he confirmed the person outside the door, Yooseong stopped talking and his face tumed pale as if he had seen a ghost.

“Yoseong..!”

Red twintails.

Golden eyes.

Pointy ears.

The half-elf wizard who was engraved in his memories as one of the most hateful beings.

Karen Redleaf.

The girl right in front of him was that girl.

He looked over here and smiled brightly as if he had received something he had desperately wanted, but then when he saw YooSung’s still face, he fidgeted like an anxious child. But there was something strange about his appearance.

Her red cape and lace one-piece dress, which had never been spotted even during her journey to catch the Demon King due to her neat and tidy personality, were covered in dust.

She looked very tired with dark circles under her eyes that were shaking.

Karen’s shoulders and clenched hands were trembling as she looked up at him, making her look very uneasy.

Am I still dreaming?

Yooseong lowered his head once and rubbed his eyes just in case.

Swish.

When he opened his eyes again and looked ahead, Karen Redleaf was still there.

“Yoo-seong. It was really hard to come here… Are you looking for Yoo-seong? I really..!”

Boom-!

Yooseong slammed the door shut and ran back into the workshop.

‘Why did that girl come looking for me?”

The fading trauma from the past hit the back of his head.
