[Unknown Location]

Jiho would open his eyes, his head hurting feeling the grass beneath him he realised something must have happened as the last thing he saw was that blinding light, as well as the strange figure being in despair, he held his head as he stood up before hearing strange words, things he didn't understand he looked through the nearest bush to find a group of hunting men, about ten in number

Jiho still confused took out his gun from the hostler holding it taking cover behind a tree as he heard the men getting closer and closer he sure was scared, he didn't even know where he was and the language didn't even sound human to him but one thought went through his mind again and again "Survive" that's the only thing he could do in his current situation and so he started moving sneakily away from the group before feeling a grueling pain and a tickling sensation on his right leg as he looked at it, a hole his leg had been shot.

"Stop right there" said a man as the tree next to Jiho feel down with a hole in it, it was terrifying just like before when he met the strange figure. "Huh? How can you speak English?" Jiho said confused as he turned to look at the men still holding his gun scared shit less. "Eng- what? You're under arrest for being suspected as a spy from another country, you will be taken to the House Of Justice as obligated by the law." The man said approaching Jiho holding a pair of handcuffs that looked from earth.

Jiho swiftly raised his gun shooting the man in the chest as he dragged himself over the taken down tree starting to limp, the strange man held his arm up vertically before taking it down horizontally as suddenly all the trees near Jiho were cut in half, as he looked confused and terrified by this kind of power he realised he might have entered one of those fantady novels he usually read at the academy to pass time as he tried avoiding the falling trees he felt the same sensation his leg had felt, a tickling and grueling feeling in the right side of his abdomen falling down to the ground with another hole in him.

"Are you down with your plays? I can catch you any day of the week, you don't even seem to have leveled up stats." Said the man approaching Jiho with an arrogant look on his face he muttered again "I am Yunshul the fourth badge of justice and I declare you a dangerous individual." The men that had accompanied Yunshul grabbed Jiho and cuffed and knocked him uncouncious starting to ride there horses towards the capital.

[Novograd capital city of The Novak Country ]

The men had arrived at an iron gate, as it opened Jiho had awaked himself seeing the beautiful city of Novograd something that resembled the old city of Vienna he was amazed by it all only to remember what his current situation is, looking at the men and realising he is tied up he had no choice other than to follow through there law, as once he was a man of the law himself.

"Your trial is starting today and we'll see what we can do with you." Said Yunshul as he got off his horse signaling the men to grab Jiho and follow, as they were walking he could only admire and be confused about the beautiful city. "Beautiful isn't it? The capital of Novak is one of a kind" said one of the men escorting Jiho as the other one looked at him with pity. "They don't seem that bad but there boss surely is" thought Jiho to himself as he continued to analyse his current situation trying to understand the law of this weird new world.

[Novograd capital city of The Novak Country][Court House]

As they arrived at a tall and wide building, Jiho realised this is the court house of the city where he would be judged pretty soon.

"Put him inside and give him a book so he can at least defend himself." Said Yunshul as he walked away in another direction while Jiho's group continued inside the court house.

He sat down on a chair starting to read the book he surprisingly could understand, as he was reading a beautiful woman walked past him sitting in the seat of the judge Jiho was amazed how similar this world is to his. People had started to gather while Jiho couldn't even finish half the book a hammer hitting wood was heard as he realised time was up, Yunshul had entered sitting on the seat opposite to Jiho's.

"We can start the trial of this suspected to be spy human, right miss judge?" Yunshul said with a devious smile on his face looking like the devil himself, Jiho was utterly defeated knowing he will lose no matter what. "Yes, we can as I give you permission to speak." Said the judge leaning back on her chair, Jiho looked around and started to scratch his head not knowing what will happen if he loses. "Firstly he was found wandering around our border with the Iskhan Empire which is already weird, he had a weird device which he used to shoot a piece of metal at me, probably destined to inflict a deadly wound, luckily i had my divine armour on. And so I think he is a spy, further evidence will be provided as we investigate." Said Yunshul not once breaking character while holding an orb in his hands, it glowed green signaling he was telling the truth every second of his speech, Jiho gulped as he didn't know what to say.

"Very well Mr. Yunshul I approve alongside the gem of truth." Said the judge hitting the hammer to signal it's Jiho's turn to speak he looked around taking a deep breath before starting to talk: "Uh I don't know how to say it but my name is Jiho Woo and I am a detective from South Korea that had been suddenly transmigrated to this world as for my gun I used it for self defense against Mr. Yunshul" Jiho looked calm while talking as the orb glowed green signaling he was saying the truth all along. The people gathered started to chatter wondering if something like that is even possible, Jiho wonder if he said the right thing knowing in most novels it's a bad idea for the reincarnated main character to say stuff like that but this is reality...it surely couldn't end bad, could it? The judge glared at Jiho confused. "I..don't know." The judge leaned on the desk putting her hand onto the head trying to think if there even is a law for something like that.

Yunshul stood silent sitting in his chair while muttering words no one could hear before he stood up holding his hand upwards making a pistol out of his fingers, activating his skill "Hunting Badge" he shot a hole directly into Jiho's skull, as Jiho hit the cold floor his brain starting to shut off, his eyes lifeless and grim, his body easy to move not stiff like the momment before, he was surely dead? As people started to leave the court house a purple flame went out of his chest as time began to reverse, Jiho woke up in the same forest he was when he first met Yunshul, without a second thought he just started to run without stop knowing the fate he'll suffer, he just had the same thought again "Survive" knowing the strange world he's in he had figured he must have an ability of his own, maybe one to Return By Death? He kept running before reaching a dead end at the base of a tall mountain, he heard steps but this time they weren't the same as the hunting group's, it was only one person as the bushes kept rustling and Jiho holding his gun a girl around the age of seventeen with pointy ears came out holding a dagger and a bow on her back "Huh? A human?" Said the girl looking at Jiho. "Huh? you're an elf or something?" Said Jiho pointing to her pointy ears, the girl punched him in the stomach knocking him to the ground "GAH" screamed Jiho as he fell.

"For a human you're weak didn't you level up?" Said the girl confused about how weak Jiho is. "Level up that level up that...the hell does that mean." Said Jiho confused about all the remarks he had received about leveling up. "Huh? You're really dumb or have you just not been born with the system?" Said the girl looking pitifully at Jiho. "No?"Jiho said confused, but as they were chatting the footsteps of Yunshul's troops were getting closer and closer. "Hey...it's bad news let's get out of here." Said Jiho as he stood up holding his gun. "Yeah...that shit head Yunshul is near." Said the girl grabbing Jiho's hand and seemingly enter the mountain.

[Border Of Novak and Iskhan Empire]

[Inside Mount Uzū]

"Huh? What is this place?" Asked Jiho confused as he started walking around towards the giant tree at the centre of the cave

"This is just my hiding spot, no one knows about it except some elves." Said the girl following after Jiho. "You didn't even tell me your name, but I didn't either so..my name is Jiho Woo." Said jiho as he stopped walking turning back to the girl offering a handshake. "My name is Nyx Aella, nice to meet you but I am not hand shaking you." Said Nyx as she started walking towards another exit Jiho following right besides her admiring the beautiful cave.

[Country Of Novak]

[Wilderness]

The two walked out and found themselves on a field of wheat as Nyx looked at Jiho "do you got a place to stay?" As she said he noticed a group of humans approaching trhowing Jiho to the ground to hide. "No I don't...I'm a outcast, but that trhow hurt." said Jiho as he rubbed his heead. "I got a plan so just follow me" Nyx said as he grabbed Jiho's hand and started running, jumping over the river giving water to the crops arriving at the secondary entrance of the city of Novograd walking in trying to blend in.

[Novograd, capital city of Novak]

As they entered the crowd Jiho didn't feel Nyx anymore, realising she probably just ran away he started walking through the city before bumping into the person he last wanted to see, Yunshul. "Watch where you're going peasant" said Yunshul with a harsh voice looking arrogant as ever, Jiho realised something is deeply wrong with this country and maybe with his ability he could change something and so he started walking while having set a goal in mind for this new world.

"Find a way back to my home world, no matter what and no matter the sacrifices but firstly I need to get stronger."
