A train journey to escape from reality.

“Is it a dream…?”

When I came to my senses at some point, I felt like I was in a fantasy novel I had been reading a while ago.

It was also possessed by the body of an extra whose name was not mentioned in the original work!

‘Does this make sense?!’

The original work had already begun without the man even getting to his senses.

The man, now ‘Nathan Norbert’, tried to make a connection with the original protagonist in order to survive from the original incident that would take place three years later…

* * *

“What are you doing there?”

It was a good thing there was no backlighting. If there were, he wouldn’t have noticed immediately who the boy standing in front of him was.

The gold colour, like melted gold, shimmered even in the gloomy weather. His cool eyes were slightly frowning as if puzzled and, blue like the summer sky, were looking straight at Nathan.

At that moment, a huge shock struck his head. Nathan sighed involuntarily. Ah, instinct whispers.

This person is Hazard.

His name is Hazard Erasmus.

Indeed, the boy in front of him was exactly what Nathan had envisioned while reading . So he had no choice but to recognize it at a glance. He couldn’t have dared to imagine a protagonist other than this figure.

Spoiler

Before I say anything else, I want to not that this novel is NOT written in first person, but third person (for once).

The plot:

Spoiler

The original world was based off of magic, swordsmanship, and other supernatural elements. The OG Protagonist (and also the ML) is named Hazard Erasmus and he is basically like Zelda (from Legends of Zelda). He attends an academy, some kind of seal is undone, demons start to rampage, and he collects companions to save the world.
Then comes our MC who was just minding his own business on his highly anticipated train ride (because he's never been outside of Korea before), then *poof* he arrives in an unfamiliar world. Like any RATIONAL person, he started to panic and a sting of elements followed through.

[collapse]

Truthfully, I find the protagonists actions quite realistic. Unlike other MCs, the main character is actually panicked when he gets transferred into this unknown world and experiences many emotions that others may have when suddenly put into an unfamiliar environment. Additionally, he doesn't suddenly inherit a golden finger and actually has to work hard to gain results, even if it harms his own body.

His character is very well fleshed out and holds his own feelings and desires. The readers can feel that when he first transmigrated over, even though he broke down at times, the MC truly did hold some expectations for his future. He hadn't wanted to become some cool protagonist or side character, but just someone who would be remembered. It didn't matter if it was one person or a hundred people, he just didn't want to go down as that one person among the crowd whom no-one knew. The MC also has a slightly childish side because he sometimes doesn't understand why he's scolded and often wants to get praised. Yes, some of his actions are hypocritical, but then again, no one is perfect and for someone who was thrown into the body of a random unknown character who literally has no potential in magic or swordsmanship, he is already considered pretty good to me. Not to mention, the MC knows that the world will fall into ruin within 3 years, so he is working hard to do anything he can to protect himself.

OMG I'm relieved to see that this novel is getting translated again! I'm only in chapter 9 right now and gosh its good. You guys should read it, like others said the MC in this novel is realistic because he asked himself how and why did he got transported here and all sorts of emotional rollercoaster. And yes the ML I don't know much about him but he appeared at chapter 6.

The MC has a very realistic reaction when first waking up in this world. The story has a nice serious tone that doesn't overcomplicate things which is a refreshing change from the other fantasy novels with a more light-hearted/fluffy setting.

Well, in my opinion, the novel is more realistic in a 'realistic' situation but unfortunately, the first few chapters are very bland and not stimulating. Some novels start with stimulating scenarios that hook up the readers interest which is exactly the opposite of this. It may be early to judge the novel based on only few chapters but first impressions are really important to me in order to judge how the author would approach the story as time goes by.

For now, I'll keep waiting for a few more chapters

Really love mc's initial reaction upon finding out he's in some stranger's body, he gets flustered and start panicking, but still make it work out. MC is not the usual op character, his body is a wreck, and the initial magic is less then average, but still works really hard to achieve his desired results, and in that aspect, the title is spot on. It seems that translation was dropped for some reason, and I really hope someone picks this up.

It's awesome~

The interactions between the two main characters are cute and show off their youthfullness and inocence.^^
Additionally the main character isn't op from the beginning and works really hard (sometimes he even overworks himself) which leaves other characters to watch over him.
Besides I like how realistic his character is written and how the author made it possible to personaly relate with the MC emotions.

NOTE: WE GET ACTUAL CHARACTER & ENVIRONMENT DESCRIPTIONS!!! Mostly hair/eye color and simple prop object stuff, but it's definitely an improvement to most webnovels

This story gets serious props for realism. It's a transmigration story, but the person in question really didn't want to transmigrate, and the situation he's in is pretty much awful (no family, new environment, etc). He also has kind of limited knowledge of the story he's transmigrated into.

So unlike every other transmigration protagonist that freaks out for about 12 minutes before accepting their fate and deciding on... more>> a goal, This protagonist basically freaks out for 3 straight years. He's kind of an anxious wreck, afraid to talk with people because he doesn't want his identity found out but equally lonely. The real problem is that his body is a total wreck, for reasons that aren't really explained as well as terrible habits.

The problem with this is that reading chapter after chapter about someone who is just violently ill and miserable is, well, not particularly interesting or enjoyable. I found myself skipping paragraphs and missing nothing but further descriptions of nosebleeds or dizzy spells. Also, if you've got any medical knowledge, several of his fainting episodes don't make any sense, magic or no, but whatever. That being said, the story does a really good show-don't-tell method of his illness. The MC in question basically ignores it because his new body was always like this, and we don't have the thoughts of the supporting cast cooing over how pitiful and broken he is, which again makes it feel real.

Sickness aside, the plot and story is quite good. It's definitely romance, but they don't start with crushes on each other and, again, the relationship feels much more natural and realistic than most stories.

The fantasy setting, magic system, fantasy races, etc. Are there, but not really investigated in detail. The world is interesting, and the magic is more old school high magic which is nice, but there isn't a ton of worldbuilding here, especially because MC won't leave the academy for the most part. <<less
