Damien Crowell was just a regular high school student who took a regular tunnel on his way to school—until one day, that tunnel spit him out into a completely different world. Instead of his usual path, he finds himself in a dark forest that stretches on for days, running on nothing but sheer stubbornness and a tiny water bottle. Just when he thinks he's going to die, he stumbles upon a castle straight out of a fairy tale (or a theme park) and promptly passes out. When he wakes up, he's in a prison cell, surrounded by confusingly handsome men who speak gibberish—until a beautiful, horned beastman with perfect hair and a translator necklace finally lets him understand. Now, trapped in a fantasy world where every guy looks like they stepped out of a modeling agency, Damien’s biggest challenge isn’t just survival—it’s trying to figure out why *he* always looks like a mess in comparison. Can he make it back home, or will he end up staying just to admire all the beautiful faces? Join Damien as he navigates a strange new world, awkward introductions, and a whole lot of unexpected feels in this hilarious, fantasy adventure!

"But let me ask you this. If something similar were to happen again—another pickpocket caught in front of you—what would you do?"
"You mean the same exact situation?" Damien asked, trying to picture it.
"Exactly," Theo said. "Would you offer them help again?"
"Uh… I'd probably think about it more carefully this time," Damien admitted hesitantly.
"And after thinking it over?" Theo pressed, waiting for Damien to answer.
Damien thought it over.
Cedran was probably right in principle.
But Damien couldn't help hoping there was a way to save the pickpocketing child. Wasn't there some punishment other than cutting off their hand?
He didn't feel he had the right to criticize the laws of this world, especially since he'd only been here a short time. But he understood one thing clearly: just giving the child charity wouldn't solve anything.
Then what could he do?
