Fifth King

Oh damn fr? Maybe it's a difference in culture and humour but imo that scene was just goofy and a joke not meant to be taken personally...

idk in my friend group we joke around w far worse and tbh as long as you don't cross over boundaries (which she clearly didn't since he like u said didn't rlly mind) then imo it's not smth to be sensitive about...

So in the middle of chapter 1056, there is important background info that gets revealed to the MC. But the info isn’t written in the chapter but is instead written elsewhere and the TL links their patreon page to find it. But the post is gone and I can’t find it online. Fortunately, user GDLiZy read it while it was still up and wrote a short summary of it on the forums, so I’ll just copy paste their post here since the next chapters after expect the readers to already be familiar with this info (and you will be very lost if you aren’t).Spoilers of course for those who haven’t caught up to chapter 1056 yet:“Very late post, but I've read the Background chapter before and can tell you a little bit about its content. For future reference and any people who read the story later.Disclaimer: I read the chapter long time ago, so don't expect anything perfect, as some detail might even be wrong.There is an in-universe theory (from humanity in the future, not Sheyan's age) about time-travelling and many world interpretation, which led to the creation of the project nightmare realm, a kind of time-travelling machine (iirc, for some military purpose). After doing it a few times, the future humanity realised that there are consequences, making many imaginary worlds (movies/novels/plays) come to life and become other dimensions, so they stop the project.Then the same scientist published a finding that "it doesn't matter if they stop now, the door is already open," so they resume the nightmare project. The nightmare project will snipe suitable warriors from the past and enhance them through countless missions to become strong military assets for future humanity.Basically, Nightmare Realm is future humanity, and contestants are humans from the past recruited to become soldiers, and maybe get some good resources from the world of games/novels/movies.”
