Escaping the Mystery Hotel - Chapter 1
Only Krnovel
Episode 1 – First day at the hotel, meeting the group.
Day 1
As soon as I woke up, I was in a daze.
Since I was traveling and spending quite a bit of money, it was a decent hotel in its own way, and it was definitely a decent room.
In other words, it is a room where one man can comfortably fall asleep while watching a Netflix movie on a wall-mounted TV in a clean atmosphere.
The room I woke up in was ridiculously huge and extravagant, like something I’d seen in a movie.
It was never a single room to begin with.
The walls were full of antique paintings, as if you were entering a huge wealthy man’s mansion, rather than a hotel room.
The bed is covered with a blanket so luxurious that I feel sorry for ruining its shape as I move.
As soon as I turned on my phone to check the time, I panicked again. A sign appears indicating that radio waves are not being picked up.
Feeling increasingly confused, the moment I washed up and changed clothes and came out of the bedroom, I saw the display in the living room blinking brilliantly.
Congratulations on the beginning of your adventure! You have been blessed with wisdom.
You can know things that other colleagues cannot, and understand things that other colleagues cannot.
As you progress in your adventure, the Blessing of Wisdom opens up new possibilities.
Blessing is activated.
Today’s surprise event: There are no bad animals in the world.
What on earth is this? I feel like I’m going crazy.
The moment I held the back of my neck and looked up at the ceiling, one corner of my vision shook.
[User: Han Ga-in (Jihye)
Date: Day 1
Current Location: Tier 1, Room 105 (Room of Rest)
Sage Advice: 3]
Is this the status window of some game?
It was at this point that I accepted that something crazy had happened to me.
*
As I moved towards the living room, there was an incredibly huge dining table that I had seen in some movie, and on the table I saw a button that said meal.
Does food come out when I press it? While I was thinking about it, I heard a sharp scream.
To get out of the absurdly large ‘room’, I ran quickly and opened the door.
The moment I walked out the door and reached the front desk, my mouth dropped open.
Giant monkey? Something is strange. It is walking on two legs and has a cold weapon in its hand.
The inside of the mouth is full of saw blades rather than teeth. Isn’t this just a monster rather than just a monkey?
Four people? About five people are being threatened.
To the left of the front desk, two women who seemed to be foreigners were screaming without knowing what to do.
Near the bonsai tree on the right, a completely lost person was sprawled out.
Even in this desperate atmosphere, it was clear why no victims had yet emerged.
“Terminator?….”
A man with a magnificent physique who makes one question whether he is a Terminator or not, as he suddenly blurts out something stupid.
He was fighting, swinging a wooden stick that appeared to be a chair leg.
His body was even bigger than that of the monster monkeys, and every time he swung the club, he fell so hard that even the monster monkeys felt like they were losing strength.
While I was also watching the fight in a daze, a monkey started to approach me with its eyes focused on me.
I don’t know. I really have no idea what the situation is.
As I desperately wished that an angel, devil, or whatever, could please tell me what to do, a phrase suddenly appeared in the air.
[Go to room 105 immediately.]
Room 105. This is my room number. Upon confirmation, the number next to the wise man’s advice changed from 3 to 2.
Fortunately, it wasn’t too far. While I was running frantically towards room 105, I heard an unknown scream and a loud running noise behind me.
After running and running, suppressing the urge to do something meaningless like looking back, the moment I opened the door to room 105, the sound disappeared.
Only then did I look back blankly.
The monster that must have been chasing me just a moment ago was on the other side, huffing and staring at me, but instead of coming towards me, it turned around and went back to the front desk.
Is there something in this room? Monsters don’t seem to be able to approach this room.
When I returned to the room and took a deep breath for about 10 seconds, I remembered the people who were in crisis at the front desk earlier.
A man like the Terminator seemed to be good at fighting, but he probably couldn’t fight indefinitely anyway! He doesn’t know what it is, but he has to save people.
I clenched my teeth and picked up a silver candlestick that looked extremely expensive, just in case.
If you swing it, it will act like a weapon.
With the situation at this point, I don’t think anyone would file a claim for compensation just because the candlestick was damaged.
It was very scary, but if you had to, you could just turn around and return to room 105.
As I rushed to the front desk, the situation from before was even worse.
The man who was running around like a general must have been injured somewhere and was bleeding profusely, and the two women hiding inside the front desk were busy swinging something that looked like a piece they had picked up somewhere.
Fortunately, the woman on the bonsai side, who I was worried was already dead and seemed to have fainted, was still fine.
Besides that, two people were seen running here and there. The good news was that one of the monsters fell and couldn’t move, as if that Terminator-like man had used some kind of trick.
“Monsters cannot come towards room 105. “Please come to me right now!”
After screaming like crazy three or four times, people around me finally looked in my direction. Little by little, people came running towards me.
Then, as if he had been waiting, the Terminator blocked the gap between the people and the monster, and the monster was unable to attack because it was aware that the Terminator had already defeated one.
How many people did that man save in this short period of time?
In fact, even if I didn’t specifically call people, I think this man would have somehow beaten the two monsters to death.
Of course, seeing as blood was already flowing from various parts of his body, he might have died before then.
The woman on the bonsai side who seemed to have fainted also came to her senses late.
Soon, everyone ran towards room 105, and soon the Terminator came out and headed in the direction of room 105. As before, the monster only looked and did not approach.
As soon as I entered the room, I took a deep breath, closed the door, and turned around.
No one is here.
Was he possessed by a ghost? Apart from me, I saw about two men and three women entering the room.
Just when I thought I was getting used to strange things, the display on the wall started blinking.
Welcome to Hotel Pioneer! There are some instructions, so please refer to them. Additional information may be added and can be viewed at any time on the hotel’s displays.
1. Hotel Pioneer always loves its customers.
2. Please note that the elevator is broken.
3. The hotel always protects customers’ privacy. However, wouldn’t it be better to eat together?
This situation is full of question marks. There is nothing that provides anything resembling any information other than the instructions on the display.
I read the sentences with the greatest concentration since I was born.
‘privacy’. Could it be because of privacy that everyone disappeared?
I desperately felt that common sense meant nothing, so to think about it in the most ‘uncommon sense’ way possible, privacy could not be maintained in a situation where 6 people were in one room.
According to the text, in Room 105, everyone usually stays separate and only meets together during meal times.
[I understood a little about the hotel.]
I burst into laughter when a message immediately appeared in the status window. This absurd thought was real. In a daze, I headed to a huge room with a dining table.
I saw a clock, and a notice on the table next to it that the meal times were 1 hour and 30 minutes, starting at 7:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 7:00 PM.
It was about 10:20 a.m. now, so once it’s 12 o’clock, things will work out somehow.
It’s a very confusing morning. I was so exhausted that I went to bed and lay down to get some sleep again.
Tuk. Tuk.
“Could you please stand up for a moment?”
ah. I fell asleep in that short period of time.
I was so startled that I opened my eyes, and in front of me was the older woman I had seen earlier. Is the age range around mid-30s?
She is tall and has the impression that anyone can see that she is a popular city girl.
However, there was a cold atmosphere somewhere, so it was not easy to talk.
“Well… thank you for waking me up. “What about the others?”
“At first, I thought it couldn’t be possible, but as soon as 12 o’clock, people appeared from all over the room as if they had moved at some point, and everyone but the two of them gathered in the dining room.
Jincheol was injured in the fight earlier, so you managed to stop the bleeding, but he was lying down… The student was asleep, so I thought I should wake him up, but shouldn’t we talk to each other?”
“yes. “Well, everything is strange, but I think we need to talk about it first.”
“Follow me.”
As we turned and walked towards the restaurant together, my sister suddenly turned around.
“Ah, and… thank you for earlier. I thought I was going to be a monster meal out of nowhere, but they called me and I managed to survive. “My name is Eunsol Lee.”
“no. Tumi… no, Jincheol? He did it all.”
After a moment of teasing, Eunsol Lee smiled and turned around again.
