I'd been caught off guard, just like that.

I'd underestimated black agent Kim Han-byeol way too much.

A ridiculous prophecy that hit me while we were dancing, pressed hot against each other.

My body went cold.

And I...

"A forced summoning!"

Just as Kim Han-byeol had said, a sudden summons to the other world came that night.

Honestly, I couldn't tell whether this was the Divine Realm or the other world.

The gods' abilities were so varied I couldn't trust anything.

I'd never imagined Kim Han-byeol had the power of foresight.

I'd just come into the room and was about to knock back a cold beer.

— Dimension-crossing points have been far exceeded.

I stood up the plates, stacked hundreds high, in the empty display cabinets.

Hundreds of pieces, and yet they took up almost no room.

The silvery, high-gloss stainless steel goods showed off their good looks all on their own.

"Plates~ bowls~ forks~ all stainless~ Heh heh heh."

With the full set of household goods in place, the reception room sparkled.

Here in this world, it all looked even classier.

"I need to make a lot of money. I'm a nobleman, after all—I can't live like a beggar."

I finished setting up the reception room and headed for the kitchen…
