‘It’s been ten days since I came here. Let’s keep a record. I will die soon, but I will die leaving behind a trace that I was here. Fortunately, I had six notebooks and a pen in my bag. ‘I wonder if it’s luck that I fell here on my way to school.’
‘The sky here is red. Moreover, it was full of monsters that I had never seen before. On the first day, a guy who looked like an elephant with horns tried to kill me. I managed to subdue him while being beaten with a stick.’
‘I ended up sleeping in an empty cave nearby. There was rotten meat lying around in the cave. This cave is my current home. I spent the first day crying on the wet floor.’

-31st.
‘Fuck, this isn’t living. I am tired of surviving on rotten meat piled up in caves. My stomach hurts like crazy. There is no sunlight and it is cold. ‘It’s better to die than to live like this.’
-40 days.
‘I went out of the cave just in case, but there was a big, mountainous monster trying to eat me. I barely escaped from him. Now let’s not take a single step out of the cave.’
-42 days.
‘I miss mom and dad. Since coming here, there hasn’t been a single day that I haven’t thought about my family. When I wake up, it feels like I’m at home, but the reality is very harsh. i love you. When I return, I want to hug you.
-53 days.
‘Let’s just die. It’s better to just die than to live like this. What’s the point of using something like this? I’m going to die anyway. I love you mom and dad. I should have said this a long time ago.

‘A hologram is floating in front of my eyes. Level up? skill? I finally went crazy. ‘I see something in vain.’
-1 year. 31st.
‘Fire spewed out from my hand today. Is this real? Skills are actually activated. With this, low-level demon beasts can’t even make a fist. ‘I can finally eat properly cooked meat.’

-6 years. 214 days.
‘I went over the wasteland and found a path leading underground. Currently level 42. Now I am at a level where I can kill a passing giant tunnel worm with one hand. There is no one who can beat me in the wasteland. The energy coming from underground is unusual. Should I go down?’
-24 years. 87 days.
‘For the first time in 24 years, a worthy weapon was created. Before, I used to steal things from monsters. There was a lot of useful stuff in Kalius’ workshop. I recently made a nice sword by embedding a stone I stole from a dragon knight. What would be a good name?
-34 years. 3 days.
‘The Draynox Arena has been conquered. This is the end of my gladiator life. More than anything, it’s a very happy day because I was able to kick that sloppy Hwasin bastard who was playing grid or something.
-41 years. 57 days.
‘Arrived at the Land of Fire. This place is so hot that it feels like you’re in a sauna, with the wind blowing from the ground. It’s sweltering heat all year round, but you live here? Yeomwang, this bastard must be a fool.
-67 years. 195 days.
‘The war of the abyss has reached its end. After defeating the Demon King, they will lose their command system and panic. The fall of the Dawn Empire is not far away.

‘I killed the demon who claimed to be the one who brought me here. Today is the end of the year. Not a bad end to the year.

‘The warp gate has appeared. Are you going to return to Earth…?’
‘Is this a dream?’
