I Became a Foreign Worker Loved by Transcendents

That’s how my unexpected consultation with the fortune teller began.

As I entered the tent, I watched the fortune teller prepare, setting a crystal ball on the table.

She was enshrouded in a hood and cloak, yet the distinctive aura that occasionally shone from her visible face was unmistakable.

“Hehe, now that I think about it, I didn’t introduce myself.”

While I gazed intently, she sat opposite me, having completed her preparations, and responded with a faint smile.

“Pleased to meet you, Mr. Woo Hyo-sung. I am a wanderer in this chaotic world, a fortune teller guided by the stars… My name is ‘Airi Haven’.”

“Ah, yes. Nice to meet you, Ms. Airi.”

Airi Haven.

Her name was as enchanting as her visage.

Her voice possessed the dignified charm of marbles gliding across a tray.

“If you stare too fixedly, it can be somewhat disconcerting…”contemporary romance

Did she feel my gaze was too piercing? I wondered.

Realizing this only later, I immediately lowered my head and apologized to Airi.

“Ah, I’m sorry for gazing so absent-mindedly.”

“Do you still not trust me?”

“No, it’s not that…”

Trust was already in place since I shared my personal details with her.

In truth, the amount of information she held about me made me more fearful of the consequences should I choose to flee.

So, for the moment, I decided to cooperate and only consider escape if anything seemed amiss.

“I was merely struck by your incredible beauty.”

And yet, what I had just said was a reflection of genuine sincerity.

She was a mature woman engaging me in consultancy without reservation. Was she not precisely the kind I had envisioned before my visit?

“…Beautiful. Are you referring to me?”

“Ah, yes. Truly.”

I am a man, but above that, I am a rational, socially engaged individual.

Knowing that even such a compliment could foster trust, I couldn’t help but feel anxious about her reaction to my words.

“Hmm. I’m not sure about that.”

Even then, her face seemed somewhat unimpressed by my words.

“Coincidentally, I haven’t lived with such self-awareness… So, I’m afraid I can’t give you a definitive answer on that.”

“Ah, yes. I’m sorry.”

I spoke with consideration, but based on my experience, I could somewhat guess.

She might have taken my current assessment as a kind of confession and was subtly rejecting it, seeing me as troublesome.

Of course, I hadn’t expected such a thing in the first place, but… fortunately, this rejection didn’t feel too bad.

If she had been like the cursed ones I’d met before, she would have sworn at me outright, but she seemed indifferent now, focusing only on the crystal ball in front of her.

“Now, let’s end our conversation here, and start the fortune-telling. Please place your hand on this crystal ball.”

“Ah, yes. Like this, right?”

“Yes, just like that…”

As I followed her instruction and placed my hand on the crystal ball, she overlaid her hands on mine and began to exert force.

In this world, I thought I’d never hold hands with a woman other than my mother.

“Please stay still. I’m now attuning this crystal ball to your presence.”

“Yes, yes!”

Suppressing the urge to pull back my hand in embarrassment, I watched as she focused and exerted force on our joined hands.

In her half-closed eyes, there was no sign of displeasure.

“Yes, quietly, slowly… Breathe out and concentrate.”

“…Like this, you mean?”

“Yes, well done. With this, the preparation to see your future is complete.”

-Ziiing.

A faint light emanated from the crystal ball.

With it, the palm print where I had placed my hand began to be absorbed into the crystal ball, disappearing.

Although it was a world where magic existed, the strangeness and mystique of that light felt quite profound.

Soon, she began moving her palm over the surface of the crystal ball with a satisfied smile.

“With this, all the movements of the stars that will be observed from now on will revolve around you.”

“…The movement of the stars?”

“Everything in this world is governed by a predetermined destiny… Fortune telling is the art of reading the past, present, and future by observing the movements of stars that exist outside this planet.”

Reading the future through the movements of stars.

Since it was a fantasy world and she even tracked my actions, I had no choice but to believe, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was all a bit far-fetched.

Analyzing the future by reading the movements of stars.

If that were true, then NASA in my original world would have been no different from a giant group of fortune tellers, wouldn’t it?

Somehow, it was strange that all the geniuses of the world were drawn there, but now there seemed to be a reason.

“Your worries also stem from anxiety about the future. By verifying that future, you can surely alleviate some of your current anxiety.”

However, the woman in front of me confidently claimed she could fulfill mysteries like those of NASA.

In her unwavering smile facing me, there was a clear sense of confidence in her abilities.

Yes, what I would see next was indeed the future that would unfold before me.

“But if destiny is really predetermined, doesn’t it mean that whatever I do after seeing the future is fixed?”

“Hehe, even if that’s the case, don’t worry. The future can change depending on how you continue in the present after seeing the future. Conversely, if you’re satisfied with that future, you can just stay true to the present.”

In short, seeing the fortune itself became a variable that could change the predetermined future.

Indeed. If it couldn’t even offer that much change, then there would be no point in fortune-telling in the first place.

Perhaps, for someone like me who was just a foreign worker, this was an unbelievable opportunity, and it was even given for free.

I felt the tension build as Airi concentrated her energy on the glowing crystal ball before her and confidently addressed me.

“Now, Mr. Hyo-sung, place your hands in front of this crystal ball and fervently wish for the future you desire to see.”

“If a future exists for you, that future will certainly manifest before both you and me through this crystal ball.”

“The future I want to see…”

Bewitched by her words, I placed my hands forward, closed my eyes, and quietly thought to myself.

The future I most desired to see.

The first thing that came to mind was, of course, whether I could find romance in this cursed world.

To escape my life as a foreign worker, to wander freely like heroes, and to feel passion surge in my heart once more, just as in my previous life…

“The one I want to see…”

Yet, although I had taken it for granted, the moment I closed my eyes, the face that appeared was none other than Airi’s.

The sensation of her touch, from when I had placed my hand on hers, still seemed to linger.

Although I had decided to forgo romance in my quest for true love, if I could catch two birds with one stone, I’d want a girlfriend as well.

If such an opportunity ever arose, I faintly hoped that the person would be someone like Airi…

-Aahh♥

As I dreamed of such a future, a voice interrupted from somewhere.

Startled, my eyes, previously entranced by the crystal ball’s light, snapped open, and I turned toward the sound’s origin.

-Ah, ahh~ Y-yes~ M-more, please touch more~~~♡

There was no need to search elsewhere.

The source of the sound was the crystal ball I had been staring into.

The flirtatious moaning that resonated within bore an eerie resemblance to Airi’s, who was also fixated on the crystal ball.

-Hehe, do you like it here? Do you enjoy it from behind like this?

And the voice that followed was one I recognized.

Yes, it was my own voice…

-Ah, nooo I-I’m not sure about this~~♡

- Hehe, you say that, but this here tells the truth. Do you want it harder?

-Yes, yes! Harder, harder, please~~♡

“……Uh.”

It was a situation I couldn’t comprehend.

In my daze, I quietly turned my gaze toward Airi, who stared at the crystal ball.

Although I could only hear sounds, Airi seemed to be seeing something inside the crystal ball, her gaze fixed on it.

However, just from the sounds, there were enough clues for me to guess what she was seeing.

So, a man with my voice and a woman with hers were mingling in a bed…

“Um… What exactly is this sound….”

“Ah, no!”

A scream burst out at that moment.

She leaped up from her spot and began expressing her dismay toward the glowing crystal ball.

“Something is definitely wrong here; this can’t be the future….”

Yes.

That was the moment when her continuously maintained mystical atmosphere and calm demeanor shattered.

“Gasp!”

Realizing my gaze belatedly and feeling it, she stood frozen in place.

As if she had shown something that shouldn’t have been seen, she held her breath and even trembled.

- Aaah, that’s so good~~♡

Amidst this, the moans, presumably hers, continued to leak from the crystal ball.

“Cough, cough. Excuse me!“

Quickly retrieving the crystal ball, she threw it outside the tent and then grabbed my clothes, dragging me out.

“Me, me? Wait a minute, Ms. Airi…”

“It seems like even the stars are tired today and not moving much. Prophecy cannot be accurate in such a state!”

“Eh? Stars get tired?”

“When you master fortune telling, you can sense such things! Therefore, business seems difficult today, so I’ll take my leave now.”

“No, wait a minute…”

“Today’s business is over!”

Whoosh!

Ms. Airi, having chased me out like that, closed the tent and turned off the lights.

Even afterward, with no sign of opening and silence prevailing, I rested my chin on my hand, wondering.

“What was that just now?”

Did she accidentally play an adult video without realizing the earphones were unplugged?

“Gasp, gasp.”

After chasing Hyo-sung out of the tent like that, Airi, left alone in the tent, trembled as she looked at the scene unfolding inside the crystal ball in her hand.

“No, it can’t be.”

Indeed, it was a truly unbelievable scene.

She had only heard the sounds, but as a fortune teller, she could clearly see the ‘fragments of the future’ inside the crystal ball.

-Hehe, just a little touch, and you’re completely wet here? As always, the sensuality of a fortune teller is truly amazing.

-Ah, nooo… That’s not what fortune-telling means… Aahh~♡

“Me, in such a vulgar state… Why on earth?”

An apostle and prophet descended from the cosmos, or the ancient Goddess known as Angolmois, the Goddess of Destruction.

Airi Haven, the last successor of the demi-god lineage that inherited Angolmois’s blood, was horrified to realize that she was entwined in the future of the person whose fortune she had read.

“No, more than that… That reincarnate is meant to continue the lineage’s blood?”

The scene unfolded before her.

Especially since it aligned with the prophecy she had heard before the destruction of her lineage.
