POV Igor
***
"Gorilla! You perverted gorilla!" The old granny shouted at him while beating him with a broom.
"Oh my! If it's like this, who wants to marry me?!" The pained scream was heard from a girl who was not beautiful at all
"I didn't do anything!" Igor shouted in frustration.
"I don't even know where I am right now?!"
"Don't play dumb, perverted gorilla! Let's be responsible! Marry my granddaughter!"
"No way!" Igor used his athletic skills to dodge the old but nimble granny.
"Ah no, he's not my type! We'd better force him to pay big compensation!" Said the crooked nosed girl cunningly.
As he recalled, Igor was running a marathon in Moscow. Somehow, he was hampered by roadworks and made a detour. Then he jumped over the fence and fell into a hole. He fainted and woke up in the ugly girl's room earlier.
[Ding!]
A digital screen suddenly appeared floating in front of him.
[Welcome to dimension #6748]
[Igor Gregovich, let's defeat the strongest Evil Mage and save the world!]
Igor slowed his pace. He looked back and realized that the terrible pair of grandmother and granddaughter was gone. He got away. Somehow, it felt like surviving a volcanic eruption.
That sounded an exaggeration, but Igor had good reason why he was so panicked earlier. He didn't know why he woke up in someone's house. Moreover, the environment was like a village in medieval Europe. Moreover, he saw a transparent digital screen hovering above his head and followed him wherever he went.
Igor gasped. He was indeed an athlete, and was used to running marathons of tens of kilometers. But he was too tired from running the marathon in Moscow earlier. He should have been in the top ten at least. Why did he have to be stranded in this strange place?
And that floating screen, similar to the one he'd seen on his computer. Occasionally he plays online games with his friends at university. Even though he didn't really get into it.
Igor hid behind a large cedar tree which was probably very old. It's hard to hide his big body. The nickname 'gorilla' hurt a little but he realized that his stature was like a bouncer.
The screen didn't go away even though he was hiding. What is dimension 6748? What are Evil Mages? Igor waved his hand. The transparent screen floated down. It's like a touch screen. Igor watched it closely. He then touched the screen.
[Would you like further explanation?]
[Yes / No]
Igor touched the "Yes" button.
[This is dimension 6748, a world where peace and harmony pervades. But an Evil Mage is in the process of taking over the world and turning this ideal world into hell. You are the hero we summoned from another dimension to defeat him.]
[Is this information clear enough to you?]
[No/completely incomprehensible]
Igor pressed the "completely incomprehensible" button.
[We brought you from another world, you will undergo various missions to make you stronger in order to defeat the evil mage. You just have to follow the instructions on the screen. It's so easy, even a baby can do it]
"Oh come on! A baby won't be able to avoid that crazy granny's tantrum just now!" Igor groaned in annoyance.
[Still unclear?]
[Not yet, because I'm a bit mentally retarded /I'm too stupid to understand this]
"Can you give a more serious answer option than this?" shouted Igor at the screen. But he kept pressing one of the buttons.
[Ever heard of isekai? Or transmigration? Now you are the main character, stupid! You will gain power and if you can fight the final boss successfully you will get a big reward! Does five million dollars sound appealing to you?]
[Yeah, I see/ Don't really understand, but I can't run away so it's the same]
Igor decided to close the "information and assistance options" option and then switched to selecting the "Mission" button.
[You are a hero from another dimension, there are some rules you have to follow in order to win and get five million dollars.
1. Don't reveal your true secrets and powers to anyone unless you follow the system's instructions.
2. Don't steal, no matter how hungry you are.
3. Don't touch girls and use your hideous face to scare them into submitting to you.
4. Don't be naked in public because someone's mental state can be crushed by seeing it.
5. Don't hit the elders (you almost failed earlier, don't let it happen again).]
All the information conveyed by the system felt personal until Igor was repeatedly offended by it. Even though he was a patient person and rarely got angry.
Igor was beginning to understand, even though it was a little strange and unreasonable, he might have moved to another dimension. Igor still maintained his physique, his short black hair, his tall stature as big as he was a nightclub bouncer, and a serious face, a prominent forehead and a stern look that made him shunned by girls during his twenty-two years of life on earth.
Igor regretted a little, if he really had to move to another world why didn't they just give him a more attractive physique? But Igor remembered the promise of a five million dollar reward that the system had mentioned. It can solve all the problems.
He could pay off his parents' debts, his college loans and he could continue his education to get a master's degree. He could also get a girlfriend. This was interesting, was he in the medieval era? This meant that he would probably get a lot of expensive items, a stable life and a power that everyone admired.
[Mission 1: Survival]
[Find a safe place in the middle of the forest to hide from the angry citizens. The location is to the north of your current position. Walk towards the red dot. You are the gray arrow-shaped icon on the map]
Then a digital map with a flashing red mark appeared in front of him.
Angry citizens? Why should they be angry? Igor frowned.
Before long, there was a commotion behind him.
"There he is! That gorilla! He groped my granddaughter earlier!"
"You're right granny! From the face alone, he is definitely evil!" The citizens agreed and some started running after him.
Igor stood up and started to run away. Even in other dimensions, he is still often misunderstood. Haven't they been taught not to judge someone by their physical appearance? Is everyone here taking the law into their own hands? Igor ran in anguish regretting his fate.
