The place known as the Guild was a four-story building, its entire structure built from some unknown kind of stone. It looked quite elegant.

The first floor was probably more than ten times the size of the tiny apartment Ye Su had been living in. When he first arrived and saw all the people moving about inside, he couldn’t help staring in amazement.

It was just like an RPG! The Space on the first floor was filled with tables and chairs where Guild members could discuss quests. A huge notice board stood right in the center, covered with requests. To take one, all you had to do was pull it off the board and register at one of the service counters lined up nearby, right?

That only confirmed once again that he really wasn’t in his original world anymore. A place like this simply couldn’t exist back there.

Most of the people in the Guild were burly. Many went bare-chested, showing off their powerful muscles, and carried weapons—usually knives—with them.

Actually, calling them knives was putting it mildly. Ye Su had even seen someone carrying a sword nearly three meters long. It was on the same level as the greatswords from that monster-hunting game he used to play.

In his old world, even people filming a movie wouldn’t go that far. Those were real weapons, not props made of foam and painted to look convincing. And he’d also seen creatures that only existed in manga and novels—things like familiars or summoned beings?

People in the Guild who wore robes usually had some unknown creature following them around, so Ye Su guessed they were summons.

“Hey, little guy, what’s your name? I’ll put up a lost-child quest for you,” the older sister suddenly said softly, interrupting Ye Su as he looked around.

I don’t know either! I have no idea where this little kid’s body came from, so of course I don’t know his name. And putting up a lost-child quest… that probably won’t help, will it? He doesn’t have any family here at all. Besides, to be honest, all he had were his memories from before he’d traded his life to transmigrate.

Unlike other transmigrators, who kept their own memories and also knew the memories of the body they’d taken over, he’d gotten the lowest-grade kind of soul transmigration.

With no other choice, Ye Su blurted out his real name as if possessed.

“My name’s Ye Su, and I’m twelve years old~” Ugh, even Ye Su wanted to throw up. Anyway, he’d just have to make up a backstory for himself for now. Act cute and play up the whole twelve-year-old boy thing. Pretending to be younger wasn’t a crime.

“Fiona, why’d you bring a kid back? The quest you went out for wasn’t to find a child, was it?” A middle-aged man who seemed to know the older sister came over from the next table. He looked at Ye Su in surprise.

If he remembered correctly, Fiona had taken an A-Rank quest to subjugate a Forest Devourer. So where had she picked up this kid?

“After we killed it, I found him when I came out of the Devourer’s nest. He was probably lost, so I brought him back to help find his parents.” Fiona explained this to the middle-aged man without changing expression. His face turned strange, and he gave Ye Su a stern glare.

???

Did I do something wrong? Whoa, that guy’s stare is terrifying. Ye Su never wanted to experience a muscle-bound hunk glaring at him like that again.

“Fiona, come over here. I need to talk to you.” The middle-aged man’s expression grew very serious. The older sister blinked in surprise, then walked over.

“Don’t you think it’s strange to find a child outside an A-Rank monster’s nest? High-level monsters can change their aura and turn into humans, you know. You’d better take him to the Guild’s Philosopher’s Stone and have him identified first,” the middle-aged man told Fiona, dead serious.

The Philosopher’s Stone? Wasn’t that the thing in games used to identify equipment? Since when could it identify people, too?

Ye Su had discovered a feature that wasn’t in the game.
