Nataek, who was playing the game “Sumer’s Anunnaki” set in Ancient Mesopotamia, possessed the body of a s*ave after receiving a limited edition DLC CD. The owner of Nataek, who became a s*ave, was General Medeus, a man known for his bad temper.

Nataek realizes that Medeus is the key to escaping the ancient civilization and plans to use him, but he keeps getting bothered by the way that Medeus, who is ostracized due to being labelled a barbarian, treats him indifferently. In order to return to his home in the modern-day age, Nataek must unite all six city-states with the help of Medeus. He decides to stick with Medeus no matter what… But what’s with this strange atmosphere?

Such an underrated series!! It's such a fun adventure series, and I love the interactions between the MC and ML. They are very sweet with each other and I love reading about both of them gradually falling in love. I went and bought the original series on Ridibooks because I love it so much.

(I read the raws, MTL, finished in 3-4 days. Absolutely addicted)

SUMMARY

The modern day MC Nateuk or "Teresi" begins as a s*ave thrown into brutal Ancient Mesopotamia, he meets the powerful General Medeus who is heavily ostracized amongst his people ... more>>
Spoiler

he also turns into a huge, sulking puppy for the MC HAHA

[collapse]

There's mystery, betrayal, godly retribution, disaster, bloody wars, desperate fleeing, city conquests. There's also the cutest couple: Teresi and Medeus begin as distant, untrusting s*ave/master (for good reason) but
Spoiler

that dynamic does a 180 flip after the fall of Uruk, Nateuk becomes the fiery yet kind man he truly is and takes the reins in the relationship for the rest of the story, Medeus becomes gigantic, sword-wielding, sulking puppy for him lmao

[collapse]

The overall driving force of the story: Nateuk wants to escape the world by completing the system quest, uniting the land.
Spoiler

His developing heart ache/huge dilemma is that he falls in love with Medeus, is torn about returning home and leaving him behind. Also there's a big mystery over Medeus's background, namely his mother Anna.

[collapse]

OVERALL

-High stakes, jam packed action-- it's exhausting, it doesn't let you breath

-Strongly characterized main character and male lead--they are their own individuals, multi-faceted, and have their own drive

-Heated chemistry--these two are HEAD OVER HEELS for each other. In a very realistic way? The author is a great writer, and the flow of their conversations always feel very natural, yet packed with emotion

-0-1000% relationship growth--very gratifying to witness

★★★★★ [5/5 stars]

Reminds me of "Little Mushroom. If you like quick paced, intense action + well-developed couple and great chemistry, you'll love this novel. I can't access the 19+ side stories and it's driving me nuts :') <<less

4.5* Definitely enjoying it but I will note that the main character is probably one of the most water logged mc's I've ever encountered, dude falls into water a lot lol, and he always goes in fully clothed...

As of ch 56 he has fallen into 6 1/2 different Bodies of water (no actual spoilers, I just found it funny)...

... more>>
Spoiler

1. bathtub

2. Moon lit River

1/2. Partially in a different river (all of his clothes were somehow soaked so it counts)

3. Bath/spa

4. Canal

5. Underground irrigation/aqua duct

6. The water actually comes to him... 😂

[collapse]

CHARACTERS: MC is likable with tenacity, ML is okay, pretty standard for Web novels, distant cold general with tragic family back story

- there is a weird dynamic with the MC being a s*ave but so far ML hasn't knowingly ab*sed it

STORY!!: the harrowing (fun?/traumatizing?) adventures, plots, and mysteries they unravel are what I really Loved about this; the writing itself seems well done <<less

(English is not my first language so I hope you forgive my grammar mistakes)

What a story! the twist of the plot really surpriseed me... if I have to say its one of the best stories in its own gener

Characterizations:

... more>> The development of the characters is slow but very accurate and timely, the main character slowly begins to learn the rules and way of leaving in the ancient world, while his character is completely understandable for a person from the modern era like me

world building:

And my favourite part! It's really interesting how the author has collected information about everything.

As someone who lives in one of the cities mentioned in the story, I was really excited to see someone have red so much about the history here and create such a story.

• It might be a good idea to study a bit about Uruk Galash and Delem before reading the story

That way you wont have any problem in imagining clothes houses palaces and ect...

the author's writing is really good, the descriptions are complete but also simple,

It's not also difficult to connect with characters through text

Spoiler

~Although the main character is confused about ML feeling, I hope he find out soon (poorly its funny how he think ML flirting is some kind os torture but if it keeps go on it will turn annoying

[collapse]

The main character is doing his best to protect himself and ml, and even if it's just for his own benefit or, we all know that all humans have some selfishness, and that's normal, actually. That brings it closer to understanding

I hope it get translation sooner uh I need morr- <<less

I absolutely loved it, I had fun reading and learning things about ancients civilizations. I need to say that this might be among the lines of a slow burn, but even then I felt myself getting shy about the things they say to each other, is really sweet how the ML slowly start to fall in love with the MC too, truly a hidden gem!
