"We will prepare dinner immediately," The butler continued. "Do any of your friends have allergies?"

All six boys shook their heads.

"That's good," The butler smiled. "I will call you when dinner is ready," He then left to go prepare the rooms.

"Isn't it rather late for dinner to be served?" Kingsley asked, noticing the time on a clock. "Or rather, too early in the morning?"

"They'll cook a small meal, nothing too fancy," Alice stated. "I usually eat late. I didn't really expect to eat dinner today and had planned to go to sleep upon returning home,"

"What's your name?" Donald asked. "You never told us who you were,"

"My name is Alice Na," She introduced herself. "You never introduced yourselves either,"

"Yet you allowed us into your home," Donald remarked.

"Because my staff will stop worrying about me not having any friends," Alice said. "They keep encouraging me to make friends, but I see no point in that. What are your guys' names?"

"I'm Donald Na," Donald introduced himself. "These are Kingsley Kwan, Jake Ji, Wolf Keum, Forrest Lee, and Jimmy Bae,"

Alice raised a brow. "I meant your real names,"

"Those are our real names," Wolf growled.

"Those are the names of the people your'e cosplaying as,"

"We're not stupid cosplayers like Jake and his friends," Wolf snapped.

"Wait, wait, I have a theory!" Jake spoke up before Wolf could get aggravated even more. "What if we got isekai'd?"

"Dimensional travel doesn't exist," Alice reminded.

"But we appeared out of thin air and teleported from Korea to the US," Jake pointed out. "It doesn't seem to be time travel because the technology is pretty much the same. And the fact that Alice is saying we look like cosplayers, despite this being our normal look, means that we must be fictional characters!"

Everyone stared at him. "All of the names you said are indeed fictional characters," Alice said. 

"Which anime or manga are we from?" Jake grinned. "I bet I'm a main character. I'm anime protagonist material!"

"If you are the actual characters you claim to be," Alice told them. "Then you are from the manhwa, Weak Hero. And no, Jake, you aren't the main character,"

"Then who is?" Jake questioned. "No one here is exactly weak,"

'If they were cosplayers, then they would've already known who the main character was,' Alice thought. 'Could they actually be from the Weak Hero world?' "The main character is Gray Yeon,"

"Who?"

"What were you doing before you go transported to the park?" Alice asked.

"We were just about finished with a meeting at Yeouinaru," Kingsley answered.

Alice took out her phone and went to the Webtoons app. She went to the end of Chapter 61.

"Good..." Donald Na fiddled with his rings. "...All of you are here today. Nothing big. We just have to switch to some new companies,"

The next panel showed the other four school heads. 

"This shouldn't take long. Well, that's if there's no one shitting...like last time," A panel with Myles Joo appeared when Donald mentioned the previous time. 

The last panel was all six members at the table with Kingsley standing beside Donald.

"This is what really happened at the meeting," Donald said with wide eyes as Alice moved onto the next episode. "How did you get this information?"

"This is a Webtoon called Weak Hero," Alice claimed. 

"With regards to changing companies, Kingsley'll be handing out the lists...so there's no need to discuss it further," Donald said. "What matters is, as of today, Daehyeon will be in charge of Yoosun High and Ganghak will be in charge of Hyeongshin High,"

"If it was only from one angle and a video, I'd believe it to be a security camera being hacked," Donald said. "But this shows multiple angles, including closeups and a panel showing Myles Joo,"

"So we did isekai," Jake concluded. "But instead of going into a fictional world, we end up being the ones from a fictional world,"

"So you really are from the Weak Hero world," Alice sighed. "This...complicates things. You have no actual identity here in the Real World. Even if you move back to Korea, it's not the same as your Korea. I doubt your schools even exist,"

"So then what are we supposed to do?" Forrest asked.

"For now, you may stay here," Alice told them. "It'll help solidify us being 'friends.' I doubt you'd want to change your names, so you'll still go by your actual names," 'Though, I'm surprised they aren't going by their original Korean names like Baekjin, Seokhyeon, Sehan, Hakho, Jihun, and Seongje. Then again, they are speaking English,' "You'll have to be enrolled in the same high school as me to avoid questions as to why you aren't attending high school. You guys are still minors just as I am,"

"Seriously?" Jimmy scoffed. "Can't we just say that we recently graduated or something?"

"My staff would be able to see through your lies," Alice claimed. "But I'm sure you'll do fine in American schools. South Korea's education system is much more rigorous. As for your clothes, we can go shopping after we get some sleep,"

"You're rather calm about this entire situation," Kingsley commented.

"I'm too tired to care," Alice shrugged. "For all I know, this could be a sleep-deprived dream. If it is real, I'll just have to accept the situation. I could just throw you all out of the house, but then my staff will try to get me to make new friends again,"

"Pardon the interruption," The butler had returned and walked over to them. "Dinner is ready,"

The dawn of a new world makes me timid, and I can't take the first step.
