Under the azure sky, an ancient smashed with future technology filled the island on crystal lake.
The white swan kwekking on the lake, soft chatter from the city, the fresh aroma of nature, the warmth of the sun, it is so peaceful here.
"Welcome to Moonlake, the city of blue dandelions." Rinoa proudly said as she strode merrily on the stone bridge connecting the mainland with Moonlake.
Ji Sung caught dandelion flower powder as he followed Rinoa. A thousand blue dandelions grow at the front of a mighty stone wall shrouded by vines. It is indeed ancient, yet the turret top represents a new technologist.
"What a fascinating city."
"I know, right."
Behind the wall, was filled with vibrant life. Strange objects were sold in the store. Horned man carrying a gigantic box. Four sweet-looking girls with cat ears happily stuck on the cafe's patio, chattering and laughing. Many wagons move on paved streets.
Ji Sung ambles next to Rinoa with fascination. This really fantasy city he loves to live in. "You were born here??"
"Nope, I was born in White Dandelion Hamlet, not far from here, next to the waterfall. So, Ji Sung, how could you be stranded in this world? You can't just enter without knowing, right?"
"I am being toasted by some Jerk and got blacked out. When I wake up, I am in this strange world."
"Who toasted you anyway?"
"Dude name Kang Seon Jin. Do you know him? Talkative man with the mole beneath his right lips?"
"I met many talkative men, I forgot. Perhaps if I remember a thing, I will tell you. Nah, we are coming. Welcome to Traveler Mansion."
Three story stone mansion surrounded by flower garden. White with blue roof, with many windows. Its French architecture differs from Germanic post enlightenment age architecture like in the city.
There were many people gathering at the front of the wooden board on the wall. They snatch a piece of paper there, bring it to the receptionist's desk. People also put some item bags on the table, and the man behind them gave him a coin.
"What are they doing?"
"Quest-out, as a traveler you would merge there everyday, find some quest, doing quests, reporting, and get paid. Come, before you do that, we need to meet someone inside." Rinoa opened his way toward the mansion.
This whole deal reminds Ji Sung of the MMORPG world that they loved. But, it must not be. There is no such thing in this life.
"Miss Knight, welcome. How may I help you?" Girl with wolf ears in a casual white blouse, hugging an iPad welcomed them. Her sapphire eyes struck on Ji Sung. "Your boyfriend?"
Reflexly Rinoa shocked her head, and her palm. "N-no of course not." She then coughs. "Can I meet with Chairman Yun?"
"Chairman Yun is not here, but his daughter is. Want to meet her instead?"
"Sure, that's enough. She is in her father's work room?'
The lady nodded. "On the third floor. If you need anything, find me here."
Rinoa and Ji Sung continued on climbing the grand stairs that remind him of the Titanic stairs, where Jack stood there and welcomed Rose with wine glasses between his fingers.
"So, who is Chairman Yun?"
"Head of the Traveler Association branch. But, his daughter will do the work too. He is a busy man, you know."
After knocking, they entered a wooden wall. A full bookshelf on wall, with a french window between. A fireplace, a carpet, and sofa. This palace is indeed cozy.
"Welcome sweetie, anything you want?" A sweet looking middle aged woman with soft eyes welcoming them with a motherly smile. Her dark blue hair harmonized with the cat ears that extended upwards. Ji Sung's eyes stuck on her breast like watermelon.
"Oh, Rin? It is rare to see you come here? What's up?" The petite girl behind the main table peeked from her laptop. His voice is full of energy. "Ah, you bring a friend? Your new boyfriend? I'm glad you moved away from that Lucius baboon."
"No-no, of course not," Rinoa answered. She was cute with a red face. "I am here because of this man."
"Ara Ara, you want to register a marriage paper with him?" Motherly women said.
"No, no no no. Ji Sung, introduce yourself."
Both girls were astonished by how Ji Sung introduced himself. Perhaps they rarely see it.
The tomboy petite girl said, "Where is your ID? Are you an illegal traveler?"
"No, no no no. He is not, definitely not," Rinoa answered as she told the story that Ji Sung yold early. Two women noded and introduced themself.
Petite girl in a gothic vest and short skirt, blonde hair with two long ponytails introduced herself as Yun Ha Un with fiery passion. She is the second daughter of Chairman Yun and just turn 19 a week ago.
The motherly lady wearing a blue long sleeve shirt usually crosses her hands beneath her massive ample, introducing herself as Elizabeth Kicak, Feilin race, 35. She is Chairman Yun assistant.
"Sweetie, listen, close your eyes and say in your heart, open the table system."
Ji Sung tried many times, yet he always failed. "How could you guys have that system anyway?"
"Push your ring, Dummy." Ha Un yanked Ji Sung arm, studied his bracelet. "Yang…."
"What?"
Ha Un lost her fiery passion as she looked at Ji Sung Bracelet. Something bugged her. She pushed it and a needle appeared, piercing his skin and sucking his blood. It felt like being bitten by an ant, yet Ji Sung closed his one eye.
Ha Un kept her round eyes on Ji Sung and a mysterious smile. He even sniffed Ji Sung for a while. Strange girl. "Nice. Now, close your eyes and say in your heart, open my table system."

"Wow, what is this?" Ji Sung tried to erase it with his hand, but the writing refused to disappear.
"Sweetie, you need to close your eyes and close the table in your heart," said Elizabeth.
Ji Sung followed her order and yes, he succeeded in closing the table. "And now, can anyone tell me how to return to Earth? I want to go home."
Ha Un clapped. "Ouch, sorry. The Isekai Gate is out of power, and we're too busy to do anything with it. Can you help charge the battery in Orrmit's cave? Please?" She closed one eye mischievously. "Don't worry, there will be rewards, and this is your chance to learn about your system."
"What? I-"
Ha Un interrupted Ji Sung. "It's easy. Just bring Iridium stone here. Do your quest, raise your level, and unlock your potential. Then, use your weapon to raise its mastery."
"What? What do you mean?" It looks like nobody cares about Ji Sung's question.
Elizabeth giggled while seeing all of this.
"It's too dangerous for him to go alone. I'll help." Rinoa said with fiery enthusiasm.
"Good! Now, take that quest below and go. Got it? Good, now go, go."
