chapter 1
1 – Aren’t you tired of this development?
I didn’t understand the current situation.
“Please explain why we should select you from Laplace Academy”
“…?”
“I’ll give you a 5 minute time limit.”
“Yes?”
“You can start right away.”
That was also because an interviewer in a suit was looking at me with burdensome eyes in front of me.
‘What is this?’
I wondered what you were talking about.
Tomorrow is my day off, so after finishing work, I came back home, opened a beer, read a novel, and I remember falling asleep.
When I came to my senses, I was not at home, but at an interview site somewhere.
Even if I slightly pinch my cheek
Even if you shake your head vigorously
I just felt sick and my head was dizzy.
A situation that is not a dream.
There
‘Laplace Academy?’
I look back at what the interviewer in the suit said earlier.
It was a name I had never heard of.
Perhaps the place that appears in the novel that you read while drinking beer has that name.
It’s like being possessed in a novel or doing something absurd in a previous life.
‘Isn’t this why the status window also appears?’
Diring!

‘Ha…’
It really came out that words become seeds.
Why is this happening?
However, this has made it clear.
The fact that I entered an academy novel that I read to pass the time.
“Seonghyun Lee?”
The interviewer asked as if he was puzzled.
Come to think of it, I was in the middle of an interview.
“Do you have any problems?”
“No.”
No, it’s full of problems.
However, I couldn’t express myself.
Anyway, it seems certain that it entered the novel.
It does not change that the main stage in the novel is an academy called Laplace.
Before entering the novel, even if I was a solid white-collar and diligent taxpayer, in the novel I am ignorant and nothing but heaven and earth.
The name Lee Seong-hyeon written on the status window there.
I am neither a main character nor a supporting character.
Then extras.
In such a situation, are you falling out of the Laplace Academy you know?
It was only a matter of time before I became like a beggar wandering outside.
If you come into a book like this, there will be no place to lean on because the orphan is the basic plot.
‘Then I have to answer well somehow…’
I couldn’t come up with a good answer.
Where is the guy who thinks that he will be included in the novel and thinks that if he had an interview at this time, he should do it this way?
I fell asleep after watching about 100 episodes of the original novel there.
While drinking alcohol, the contents of the novel are vague.
It was the worst.
“You have one minute left.”
Once or not, the interviewer told me the time in a calm manner.
I really didn’t have time.
‘It can’t be helped.’
Time for decision.
I had to come up with an answer.
I took a deep breath and opened my mouth.
“Interviewer.”
Just like where people live, interviews are the same everywhere.
In that case, there was no reason to be in trouble as long as you were eating calmly in this situation.
**
“The results of the interview will be notified via mobile phone in 3 days.”
“Okay.”
“You can just leave. Thank you for your interview.”
“Yes. See you next time.”
Laplace Academy Interviewer
Han Tae-seong sighed in relief as soon as the door closed.
“After…”
The reason was none other than Lee Seong-hyun, who had just gone out after an interview.
“…”
Lee Seong-hyun, an aspiring student, does not have particularly outstanding grades.
Even looking at the paper on which the resume was written, and even looking at the results of the entrance exam, it was right to say that it was bad.
But.
“The momentum wasn’t normal…”
It felt normal until I first came in, greeted, and sat down in a chair.
And when I asked him a question after that, he seemed nervous and didn’t say anything.
Like that, around 4 out of 5 minutes of the response time limit had passed.
I could see the storm.
“Couldn’t you… have you calculated all of that?”
With one minute left.
Until then, I had been aiming for an opportunity without saying anything, but when the time came, I took off my wings.
‘I am—’
What did you say?
“—Ra…”
He is not from a famous family.
He is not a genius who has been known for a long time.
Even so.
“Seonghyun Lee”
The name was not forgotten in Han Tae-seong’s mind.
**
“…”
What did I say?
I couldn’t remember.
I remember spitting out random words because there was only one minute left in the answering time limit.
I couldn’t remember what he said.
But I can’t help it.
You can’t refill water that has already overflowed.
It was right to think only about the future.
Of course, I desperately want to pass.
“By the way”
When I came out, I saw a city landscape that was no different from the world I was in.
There are cars, apartments, and people.
If it’s something else
There are people flying around, shooting fire, or
The only thing is that the hair is all natural, just like the world in the cartoon.
Pink head.
Red head.
Blue head.
Other colors were visible.
Is this a rainbow-colored gunfight or something?
My eyes were dizzy.
“As expected, it’s not in that novel…”
I let out a sigh.
And I was able to finally admit the fact that I didn’t want to admit.
No, I acknowledged it, but denied it.
This is the world in the novel Laplace Academia.
Laplace Academia is a modern fantasy academy novel.
It is also a novel in which gates, villains, hunters, mercenaries, heroes, and everything else are mixed together.
The plot of the novel is roughly like this.
About 100 years ago, gates appeared all over the world and monsters rained down from them.
It’s an obvious story, but the monsters that appeared at the gate didn’t work well with modern weapons, and humanity counterattacked them with the mysterious power of mana while experiencing the threat of survival.
And by chance, in order to block the world’s threat, the gate, the academy was created because it needed a place to systematically train mana talents. Going is the basic goal.
Gukppong flavor added.
Added harem flavor.
Added munchkin flavor.
“It’s mass-produced, but…”
This is true.
It was okay to watch it without thinking when you saw it as a novel
It made my head hurt thinking that I was in a world where people die and die is a common occurrence.
But.
Now I have to live there somehow.
If it were the same as before, I would complain and deny reality, saying that it was nonsense, but somehow I was quick to understand.
“Is this why…?”
[Your unique temperament is direct vision. You see all the truth you can see.]
The explanation that appears when you click View Unique Disposition Details in the status window.
It means to see all the truth straight.
[… No.]
[─ Until 43,017…]
[… Questions.]
When I tried to use direct vision, a mechanical sound rang in my ears.
A lot of other information caught my eye.
“By the way, what is a black trader?”
When I looked at the status window earlier, I didn’t realize it because I was not in a hurry, but when I looked at the status window again, what the hell was the dark trader hanging on the job column?
It’s not that I don’t know the meaning.
A black trader.
A trader who secretly buys and sells goods against the law.
I’m angry that he was included in the novel, but he’s even a merchant.
Isn’t an assassin better if it’s the same female?
Why Merchant?
“Ha ha.”
Can I change my job?
How can you survive in a place where villains and monsters rampage with a job like this?
That was nonsense.
However, the original novel did not have a status window, so it was impossible to know that it was a job because it did not appear.
“Then, is the answer a special ability?”
In that case, we have no choice but to put our hopes on the special ability.
As his job was a black marketer and the name of his special ability was also a secret shop, it was clear that he would sell special items.
Isn’t it obvious if you look at other extras or books?
When sucking honey as a special ability.
I had no choice but to aim for that kind of luck.
The difference between lucky and unlucky would be stark.
So, with the feeling of gambling, click on the secret shop located in the special ability subsection, and a new window will pop up.
Illuminated status window.

‘Poison and drug…’
I feel like a poison drug dealer.
