When I headed to the restaurant, there were already three people sitting there, including Eunsol and me.
A boy who looked much younger than me, probably around middle school.
A girl in a cute top who looks around the same age as me and looks around restlessly.
and……
A foreigner with an incredible appearance that I have never seen before in my life.
It’s not a joke, I feel like I’ve been hit by someone.
Blonde hair flowing from her shoulders as if made of melted gold, and eyes as if they were crafted with emeralds.
I was speechless when I saw the part of the body that was probably full of good intentions.
Don’t people like this only exist in movies?
5 seconds? As I was looking at him in such a state of fascination, the other person laughed somewhat awkwardly, and it was only then that I realized that I had made a big mistake.
I lowered my head in embarrassment and went to the dining table and sat down. First of all, shouldn’t I at least apologize? She forced an English sentence out of her head.
“I’m so sorry, but…”
“are you okay. Because I lived in Korea for 6 years and speak Korean well. “I’m neither American nor British to begin with.”
“ah. sorry……”
“You were lying in bed? Are you okay? “Are you hurt?”
“No, no. “I was just so tired that I just closed my eyes and fell asleep.”
“We all went through something tiring together… This is the first time something strange like this has happened in our lives.
“Thank you for calling me to come to room 105 earlier.”
“Oh, no. “When I arrived, that nice guy was already blocking very well.”
“Jincheol definitely saved us. I will have to thank you again when we meet again. My name is Elena Ivanova. You can just call me Elena. “What about that one?”
“My name is Han Ga-in. Well, I think we should all say it together first. “I think other people were already doing it while I was sleeping.”
“My name is Yu Song.”
“My name is Park Seung-yeop.”
I heard the door click open, and the man I saw earlier entered the room.
The arm that was bleeding was tightly wrapped in a soft cloth that I had obtained from somewhere.
As the man approached me, I realized that he had a really great physique.
Is your height at least 190cm? It looks bigger than that.
Not only was he tall, but his body type was that of an athlete.
If you’re this physically strong, can you fight a monster?
While I was once again admiring, a heavy voice came out.
“My name is Cha Jin-cheol. Oh, can I speak a little more easily? “You look like a student.”
“it’s okay. “You can just call me Ga-in.”
“Okay, okay. Ga-in, thank you so much for telling me about this room. Oh, it hurt so bad because of those damn monkeys.
Even if some beast hits its head, it doesn’t die, or even runs away.
What kind of thing is this? “I didn’t know it would end up like this because I was catching two monkeys, not even a leopard.”
As soon as I could answer, he coolly said ‘Gain,’ and I was a little embarrassed, but I tried to do it.
To be honest, I had no intention of questioning such a trivial issue with someone who, just looking at it, seemed like he would have dreamed of starting a business if he had been born in the Joseon Dynasty!
And didn’t I first tell you to speak comfortably?
The moment everyone finished shouting, the ‘status window’ flashed and a change occurred.

Colleague information(!)
Sage Advice: 2]
Colleague information?
Feeling a little familiar because you’ve tried it once, keep an eye on your colleagues’ information and open it! As I thought about it, I blamed myself and a new window appeared.
[One. Han Ga-in (20) – Wisdom 2. Cha Jin-cheol (31) – Courage
3. Yoo Song-i (17) – Friendship
4. Elena Ivanova (23) – Justice
5. Park Seung-yeop (14) – Luck
6. Lee Eun-sol (32) – Wealth and Prestige]
What is written in front is the name. Is the number on the back your age? But what are the words wisdom and courage behind them?
First, to confirm, I spoke to the girl in the cute top who seemed the easiest to talk to on the spot.
“Um… Yoo Song-i, are you 17 years old?”
“? that’s right. “How did you know?”
“Oh, you see the number next to the window name here? “I was wondering if that was your age.”
As soon as I finished speaking, everyone in the room, including Yoo Song-i across from me, looked embarrassed.
I realized this when I saw people looking in the direction I was pointing with puzzled expressions.
This window is only visible to me.
“Ah, this… I guess it’s a window that only I can see.”
“window? Is there something unusual you see in your eyes? Suddenly, he looked into space and muttered something, making me wonder what he was doing. “Is our age written down there?”
“Uh… let me explain.”
Afterwards, through a little conversation, I was informed that this strange status window was only visible to me and that it contained the current situation, date, location, etc.
Given the circumstances, I thought that the things related to this ‘state window’ were the true identity of ‘wisdom’ that had been mentioned earlier, so I mentioned it, and eventually one or two people opened their mouths.
“Wisdom… Since it is the blessing of wisdom, what kind of knowledge is being given only to you? Actually, I’m getting something similar.
I heard your window is called ‘Courage’? I kind of know what it is. “I think it’s probably about getting a little stronger.”
“Is your body getting stronger? “In what way?”
“Well… I’ll have to wait and see, but I was a bit surprised myself while fighting with the monkeys earlier.
I did some exercise, but even so, my arms were stretched out ridiculously.
Moreover, even though I played ssambak for over 30 minutes, I didn’t get hurt much.
I think my strength and stamina have improved. Oh, if you look at that side of the arm, it seems like the recovery will be a little better.”
“Me too… what do I have? When you say friendly, I don’t know what you mean. “I can’t see anything and I have no power.”
“I think I know what Songi’s side is?”
“Did Eunsol see something?”
“When the monkeys attacked earlier, Songi was just lying down next to the tree, right?
I was so scared because I thought I was going to die like this… but surprisingly, the monkeys didn’t attack Songi.
Are you just lucky then? “But now that I think about it, it was probably ‘friendly’.”
“Then what do I look like to you?”
“Seungyeop… I don’t know. ‘luck’. “Have you had any luck?”
“If you’re lucky, you won’t have to come to a place full of monsters like this.”
“I know……”
“Uhm… First of all, I am ‘justice.’ I don’t know any more. Will the power of a warrior of justice arise later? “Eunsol is ‘rich and noble.’ Do you have any idea what this means?”
“Well… I don’t know. If you’re just talking about having a lot of money, I’m not a person without money, but in the current climate, I think you’re talking about a certain ability rather than something like that…
Is there some sort of Midas hand? “I heard that if I touch someone, it turns into gold?”
While saying that, Eunsol playfully stroked Song-i with her hand, and Song-i must have thought it was real, so for a moment, she shrank greatly like a turtle.
Of course, stroking the bunch did not turn it into gold.
“What is really going on? I wanted to enjoy my life as a high school senior after completing the college entrance exam, which is said to be the happiest in the world, at least for a few months.
I never thought something like this would happen. “There are less than two weeks left until school starts.”
Eunsol’s older sister reacted somewhat curiously.
“School starts? Where is the foreign university?
“yes? No, it’s not like that, it’s just Korea.”
“Is there a university opening in Korea at this time? “What kind of university is this?”
“yes? Normally, everyone would start school in early March, right?”
Just like before, everything around was filled with silence. A heavy voice echoed throughout the hall.
“Anyway… we really have a lot to talk about today. So, Ga-in, you think it’s the start of school season.
For your information, I thought yesterday was November 24th.”
“For me, yesterday was May 3rd… It’s just been a while since I finished my midterm exam.”
“For me, yesterday was March 9th.”
“I’m on May 16th, but I’m curious about this. What year is everyone’s ‘yesterday’? And… seeing how each other is dressed, I guess I should also ask about the ‘location’?”
In a brief conversation, we were able to confirm a few facts.
1. Everyone remembers ‘yesterday’s date’ differently. It is clear that they were ‘kidnapped’ on different days.2. The ‘place we were yesterday’ that everyone remembers is also different. Some people, like me, woke up in a hotel, while others just woke up in their own homes.
What on earth? What happened to us and what should we do now?
There was a long moment of silence. So much information filled with questions swirled through my head like a storm that I felt like my thoughts had stopped.
RURRRRRRR!!!!!!!
Songi, the owner of the sound, was very embarrassed and blushed.
“oh! Ahhh! Sorry… I’m sorry. Why all of a sudden…”
“Hehehe… No, I guess it’s natural that I have something to be sorry about. Actually, I was really hungry from earlier too. I exercised hard from morning.
Is this the meal calling button? First of all, let’s all eat together. “Wouldn’t you think better if you eat something?”
“okay. First, let’s all eat together. I wonder what will come out. And ‘how’ it will come out. “I wonder if there are any employees serving food.”
“Then, I will press it.”
When Elena, who was sitting next to the button, pressed it, the button started flashing red.
And nothing happened. Everyone waited in silence for 5 minutes, but when there was no change, Seungyeop sensed a change.
“Hey… can you all take a look at that display? “Something was added.”
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.
– However, the hotel staff are somewhat shy, so they work diligently when customers are not looking.
2. Please note that the elevator is broken.
3. The hotel always protects customers’ privacy. However, wouldn’t it be better to eat together? Please be sure to observe meal times.
A new phrase has appeared under number 1: ‘The staff at the hotel are somewhat shy, so they work diligently when customers are not looking.’
What on earth is this? While she was thinking blankly, a thought occurred to her and she raised her head and made eye contact with Eunsol, who seemed to have had similar thoughts.
“Sister, I really don’t believe this, but maybe you should report this to us?”
“I think they’re telling us to leave for a moment. They literally can’t prepare food in front of us because it’s ’embarrassing’. “Isn’t that a story?”
Only then did people understand what he meant and responded with astonishment.
“What kind of restaurant is so embarrassed to see customers that they can’t serve food in front of them? “If you’re that shy, you should get rid of the restaurant!”
“Well, is there any point in wondering about this and that now? It’s a bit fun because it feels more and more like a play. “If only monsters didn’t appear, I would think it would be an amazing experience.”
“Elena speaks Korean really well.”
“It’s been 6 years? “I’m half Korean now.”
“Well, then, how about we all go out for a bit? “I’m sorry, but I’m really hungry too.”
“That’s right.”
We all stood up together and went out of the restaurant. After closing the door, we opened it again about 10 seconds later and went back.
As Elena said, it feels like filming some kind of play.
When we returned to the restaurant, small groans came out of everyone’s mouths.
Could this be a meal at a magic school located between some subway stations?
The entire table is filled with colorful and delicious food.
It wasn’t something that could be called a flaw, but at first glance, it was literally a stateless table with food from many countries mixed together.
Some were familiar, such as spaghetti, steak, and stir-fried pork, but some were foods I had never seen before, so it was difficult to guess what the ingredients were.
While everyone was gaping with their mouths open, Jincheol made a decision.
“There was a ton of food, and when I looked at the clock, there were only about 40 minutes left for the meal.
Well, let’s each take a plate of what we want to eat and eat a lot of it. “If I eat something, I’ll have the energy to say something.”
Day 1 of arriving at Hotel Pioneer. For the first time, I discovered one advantage of this hotel.
