EP.1016 Part 3 Chapter 3

Agramain.

This place was called the City of Darkness, but it wasn’t actually filled with darkness at all.

“Just a regular city, huh?”

If anything, it felt like an ordinary city.

It was simply my preconceived notion that ‘Tera = Fantasy World’ that got shattered.

“Taxi!!”

“Oh, hey, I’m just about to head home.”

“Let’s meet up on Net when you get home.”

‘This place is totally Seoul.’

And there it was—Seoul.

What I mean is, this was a Seoul built within a concrete jungle in a fantasy-style sci-fi world.

Crowded with people, bustling with life, and always full of folks in a hurry—a city of the future.

‘Who would’ve thought I’d see neon-lit streets here in Tera?’

There was something subtly blended about the design, as if modern sensibilities had somehow seeped into this world.

Neon signs illuminated the streets.

People moved around with their own communication devices, reminding me of magical gear, each heading toward their own purposes.

The buildings looked like a forest of concrete, though they were obviously not made of it but rather obsidian or black marble.

But what really made me think this was Seoul…

‘There are telephone poles in Tera?’

At regular intervals, tall utility poles stood proudly.

Though the black lines stretching out looked like normal power lines and poles, when I let my mana flow into my eyes, everything changed.

Magic Power flowed through those lines.

Small wires branched off from the poles and extended into each building, where intricate networks spread inside.

In other words, electricity in this country is Magic Power.

The Gaiana Kingdom in Gaeia had a similar vibe, but seeing it up close like this was quite shocking.

‘Could this have been brought over from Earth by someone?’

Could something from Earth have influenced this world?

Did someone from Earth recklessly spread its civilization and leave some sort of negative impact?

‘Nah, doesn’t seem like it.’

Though the idea crossed my mind that this could be some kind of trolling by an unknown entity, it didn’t fit because the buildings and culture themselves seemed ancient.

This kind of culture, this urban structure, couldn’t have developed in less than several decades.

“Hmm. So this is Terra-Seoul.”

Whether it’s Terra or another world, thinking of it as just a unique neighborhood seems healthier.

‘Adapting should be easy enough.’

Compared to the pure fantasy kingdom of Light Nation or the advanced mechanical civilization of Gaeia, this feels much easier for me to navigate since it moves like reality.

‘Thank goodness everything’s visible through glass.’

I immediately started looking for a clothing store.

Finding one wasn’t difficult.

‘If there are mannequins and suits behind glass walls, it’s a clothing store.’

The street was so familiar that even though I’d never been here before, I quickly found a tailor shop.

Why buy clothes?

Because I needed to replace the outfit I brought from the Gaiana Kingdom.


It was unnecessary to make it obvious that I was a traveler.

I successfully obtained a normal suit not tailored by magic power.

Though I’d rather just wear magic-made clothes and walk around…

“Better not take unnecessary risks.”

Are there people wearing clothes made of fabric walking around while someone wears magic-tailored clothes?

They’d definitely be classified as suspicious individuals.

It’s better to just buy a suit locally.

“I have to be as careful as possible.”

This is the Land of Darkness.

As one can tell through Azidahaka, this is the place where humans are most susceptible to being stained by darkness.

Creeeak.

I opened the glass door and naturally entered the clothing store.

“Welcome, customer.”

“……”

The person who greeted me was surprisingly a succubus wearing a suit.

A succubus in a suit.

I had heard that Agaram contains many demons, but I didn’t expect a succubus to wear a suit and serve customers.

“I’d like to order a new suit.”

“We only have ready-to-wear sizes for humans. Is that okay?”

“Yes.”

“Understood. Please follow me to choose.”

The succubus employee guided me toward the mannequins, and I pointed out an outfit roughly matching my build.

“Yes. I’ll prepare it right away! The clothes…”

“I’ll change here, so let me pay and change immediately.”

“Uh, yes?”

“Is there a problem?”

“No, it’s not that it’s impossible…”

“Then please proceed.”

I handed over the gold coins to the employee.

Thankfully, the currency is unified across Tera, so the coins I brought from the Kingdom of Gaia easily settled the payment.

Just one thing.

“It’s all black.”

Shirt, tie, vest, pants, jacket.

Every single item is completely black.

Even though this is a country of darkness, isn’t it too much black?

‘Later, I’ll check if there are other colors.’

“…Eh, there’s someone… sigh…”

“……?”

While I was changing inside, a voice came from the counter.

“Come down and let me see once? You’re going to drive me crazy!”

“……”

So this guy’s popularity.

Apparently, there was a reason the employee was so friendly.

“Just say you’re checking on something and come down! Or say you’re going to the bathroom. You’ll regret it later!”

Likely a coworker or someone similar.

Whether the other party comes down or not, I silently continued changing…

“I think I can finally score big today…!”

“……”

He probably thinks I can’t hear.

But I can.

“There won’t be a dish like this again. Just looking at your face, I know today will be amazing. Ah, damn. Tonight, I’m going home without touching my dildo… sigh.”

The employee succubus seems to be in heat.

Not even a youthful teenager triggered by every breeze, yet she’s having lewd thoughts about the customer.

‘Something feels familiar.’

Something really does feel familiar.

This sensation is definitely from somewhere.

“Haa, sigh… I want to tickle the nipples after putting on the shirt and pants…”

Clearly in reality, but I feel like I’ve stepped into some community.

No, not exactly a community…

“Come down and check while you have time. You’re practically walking sex… sex.”

Quite open-minded when it comes to sex.

I need information.

Properly suited up, I headed to the easiest place to gather information.

If this place is similar to what I imagine Seoul to be, there must be an easy spot to obtain information.

Room Cafe.

Objectively, the place where one can most easily get information is obviously the PC room.


It is.

But if the structure of the PC bang I’m thinking of remains the same….

“I can’t possibly find Aguramin’s data in a PC bang.”

In an open space like a PC bang, I can’t recklessly investigate Aguramin’s information. There will likely be some minimal measures in place for adults, and doing anything suspicious in public would definitely get me caught.

Starting my Aguramin life in jail?

Not gonna happen.

But if I need to find at least some information….

“I just need to find a computer in an enclosed space.”

I loitered on the streets, peeking at signs.

People were walking around, enjoying their lives in small groups, while I dodged them, searching for a temporary base camp.

Sure enough.

“Did you come alone?”

“Yes, I’m alone.”

There was a room cafe.

“Do you have private rooms?”

“Yes, they’re fully enclosed.”

“Please reserve it for 10 hours.”

“It’s prepaid.”

It’s so familiar it’s almost awkward.

“The drinks are unlimited refill, and you can just leave your cup there when done.”

“Okay…”

Am I really in Seoul right now?

My confusion kept growing, but once I entered the private room, my thoughts started to shift.

“…This is just a plain old net cafe.”

Just a plain old net cafe.

I turned on the machine that looked like a computer.

Dingdingding.

“There’s gotta be someone who came here and spread modern civilization.”

The sound may be different, but pressing the button turns on the computer just like that.

One strange thing: the computer runs on magic power.

“Whoa.”

The UI isn’t much different either.

It’s closer to a tablet interface than a PC, but with the flow of magic visible, operating it was incredibly easy.

“I did see how to operate it beforehand anyway.”

Sneaking into a PC bang to watch what people do or observing employees from afar at places selling magical gear terminals…

That’s how I learned how to use the computer—well, it probably has a different name here.

“Internet.”

When I clicked something resembling the internet, a browser opened up.

“Operating this is similar to magical gear.”

A bit clunky, but quite similar.

Using magic to pull up a holographic keyboard and extending my hand to manipulate the hologram like a mouse.

“Maybe this side was the original?”

The concept of magical gear is undoubtedly something that usually appears in sci-fi movies in our reality.

But with technology at least 10, no, 20 years ahead of its time, it could only have been invented by a genius scientist. Something like magical gear wouldn’t easily appear on Earth in 20 years.

Perhaps the beings who came from Tera, especially the officers and monsters, spread the concept and methods of magical gear.

If someone used this stuff here and then ended up in Earth in the year 2000?

They’d die from frustration over the slow packet transfer speed.

“Fortunately, it’s pretty fast here.”

There’s not much difference compared to using a computer at home.

“……”

I scattered magic power around the room.

If there happens to be something like a CCTV installed in here, it would severely impact my privacy.

“I need to be careful.”

No one must know that I’m investigating this information.

“……I hope it’s not there.”

If it exists, I’ll erase this dark world entirely.

“Hmm, lucky.”

If there were any, I would’ve erased them all.
