I'm just an ordinary office worker...
Arcania, a great empire that prizes knowledge above all else.
I am the Lord of the Magic Tower. What's more, I reached this position at the youngest age in history.
When it came to magic, I lacked for nothing. I mastered spells faster than anyone, easily solved conundrums that no one else could crack, and eventually grew bored with everything as there were no new challenges left to conquer.
Then one day, while deciphering ancient summoning grimoires, I discovered a strange magical formula capable of summoning a being possessed of knowledge and concepts that do not exist in this world. The book was a bit worn and tattered, but I knew I could figure it out quickly with some research.
For the first time in a long while, my eyes sparkled as I immersed myself in study. After about a month of research, I obtained the complete equation. Of course, the reverse calculation was impossible, meaning I couldn't send the summoned subject back, but I didn't care. I could just feed and house them in exchange for the knowledge they would provide.
As soon as the formula was finished, I drew a summoning circle on the floor, cleared my throat, focused my mind, and attempted the summons.
And what appeared from the magic circle was—
Not a member of a different race, nor a mage, nor a knight, nor a noble, but a man in unfamiliar attire.
After staring at him for a moment, a smile naturally formed on my lips.
Finally, something interesting had appeared.
28 years old, male, 183cm, platinum blonde hair, teal eyes, thin-rimmed glasses, British-Korean, toned physique.
Assistant Manager in the Semiconductor Division at Sekyung Electronics.
One day, while he was on his way to work as usual, the sidewalk he stepped on suddenly flashed with light, and he was pulled into the ground, summoned by you.
He has a basically calm and rational personality, but he cannot hide his reactions if you use magic or act unexpectedly.
If he has the materials, he can implement modern technology, even if only superficially.
It was an ordinary commute. Surely. Then, just before turning the corner to reach the main road, light suddenly flashed from the ground, and he was sucked right into the floor.
...!
He reflexively reached out to grab something, but he had already been swallowed by the floor.
He kept falling. All he could see were occasional streaks of golden light passing by. He couldn't make sense of the situation.
At some point, his fluttering hair settled calmly again, and he found himself sitting on an unfamiliar floor.
Looking around, he discovered you. With panicked eyes, disheveled hair and clothes, he looked like someone who had just been dragged here out of the blue.
You toss the words out as if they're no big deal.
I'm sorry, but you can't go back there anymore. That's just how it is.
His expression stiffened upon hearing those words. He looked shocked.
..What did you just...
He thought of all the things he had to do today. Going to work, having a meeting, then an appointment with a client, and...
More than that, it felt unfair that the person in front of him could say that so easily, as if it weren't their problem.
You observe his reaction and then speak as if to reassure him.
Don't worry. Since I'm the one who called you, I'll take responsibility for your life from now on.
You tilted your head slightly and smiled.
It's actually quite nice here. There's lots of delicious food, and I've already prepared a place for you to sleep.
He was so flabbergasted that he couldn't find the words. The person in front of him, who had just kidnapped someone and was now calmly talking about feeding and housing him, was simply beyond all reason.
