I opened my eyes.

A faint pain was spreading through my head. It flowed to the farthest corners and knocked on my skull before ebbing back, sending my brain throbbing. With my hand on my head, I slowly pushed my body up.

An unfamiliar ceiling. A ceiling made of black stones and regal walls holding it up. A great chandelier hung from the top, its intricately detailed curves and use of long and striking lines seemed antique, almost gothic, but the dirt and spiderwebs in it only pushed that image further.

It was not something I would see in Agriche. I had to analyze my environment while reminding myself of previous events.

My hand was dusty too. Red marks in the form of a magic circle with runes and sigils I had never seen before in my life filled the ground.

The last thing I remember... was the end of the Special Exams. I was about to go to sleep. No, I had fallen asleep.

Did I get kidnapped?

Absurd. That can't ever be while I am in Agriche. Even Isabella would have to think a hundred times before taking me away from the dorms of all places.

A prank was off the list. Kidnapping too. A crisis in Agriche? My senses were strong enough for me to wake up before the situation devolved this much, maybe I wouldn't if my mind was tinkered with. But why would anyone tinker with my mind—

There was a reason.

"System."

{Hmmm? Ohhhaam. Morning}

"Morning...?"

{OH! HOSTTTT!!}

The system's impassioned text sent my eyes widening in surprise.

"What?" I snapped at it.

{HOLY GOD HOST! ARE YOU OK!?}

"Bitch, explain before I mow you down."

{A truck! A white truck flew in from the window and landed right into your bed!! We suddenly came to this strange room and then you didn't wake up so I fell asleep but! A truck!}

"Huh?"

A truck...?

Then...

My eyes moved toward the door of the room. The dusty door slammed open and out came a woman with long pink hair and pink eyes. A pink tiara nestled snugly on her hair, highlighting her pink dress with its pink jewels.

"The hero is awake!"

I got, sent to another world?

***

"The hero is awake!"

Behind the pinky girl was a man in old armor that looked like a great hassle to move in. Even further behind him were dozens of other soldiers.

{Host! That's the princess!}

"Oh? Are you the princess?"

The pinky girl gasped in surprise before nodding. "It seems that sir Hero is rather quick."

Wow system, nice guess!

{Guess! Please, it was ascertaining a fact with relevant data}

The system update came with the power of foresight?

'Oh yeah? Then what's going to happen next?'

{Hm, the knight is going to challenge you to a death match}

"Sir Hero!" The pinky princess called out, snapping me out of my conversation. I nodded and smiled at her as I stood up. Another world was disconcerting, sure, but there was nothing I could do right away. I was a person who focused on things in front of me... not. But well, I was trying to do so.

There was a new place for me to take over.

The moment that thought entered my mind, I completely forgot all inhibitions towards this new world.

I'll take this one, and then go back and take mine.

Easy peasy.

"Please lead the way, Princess. I am ready to know what you want of me."

The pinky princess smiled and nodded, a faint blush on her face. Oh? I could use this.

I quickly held her hand before she could move away. "Please let go of whatever worries you, my dear princess. I will protect you from all problems."

The knights around grit their teeth while the princess' blush deepened.

{Wow? Weren't you impotent?}

This system was asking for a beating.

I followed the princess and the knight's order through the weird passageways. Stone floors and walls made the air cold while large heralds and murals were placed along the way. Whoever designed the place was competing against the large castle's emptiness with distasteful flashiness, it made everything gaudy.

The princess dragged me to the audience room where the king was waiting.

The red carpet stretched ahead, lavish seats on both sides. In front of me was a throne even gaudier than the passageway, sitting atop the throne was an old man, and next to him...

A fucking truck.

{That's the truck that crashed into you!!}

"The king has unfortunately been cursed by the demon lord and has the appearance of an old man, but he is the king nonetheless!"

Who asked!? Actually, who was even explaining!?

"I see... you have grown close to my daughter, Hero!"

I looked to my side, and sure enough. The knights that were here just moments ago had all stepped back while the princess was ventilating heavily.

"Now, Mr. Hero. Please defeat the demon lord! That is your mission."

"Um, actually," The truck spoke up. "Can you please pay me? I have to go back."

This truck was a fucking paid actor!

{The knight will still challenge you, ok?}

Fuck that.

I wanted to go back home! This truck was going to take me back.

I ran through the courtroom and approached the truck.

"Heh!? HEH! What are you doing!?" The truck and others screamed, but I ignored them. Pushing mana into my feet, I launched through the air as fast as I could and crashed into the truck head-on.

"HEY! MY MONEEEEEY!"

My eyes darkened, and when I woke up again, I was back in the Red Crab dorms.

Apparently, a mysterious white truck had fallen from the skies in the city today, but that didn't concern me.

As I walked over to my already open windows and took in a deep breath, I realized something.

"If coming back was so easy, I should have just taken over that world."
