Episode 38 – Party time! – What happened?
[User: Han Ga-in (Jihye)
Date: Day 13
Current Location: Tier 1, Room 105
Sage Advice: 3]
The process of waking up together in front of room 103 and returning to room 105 with a feeling that everyone has now become accustomed to.
There were no tears of joy or hugs, and everyone just had blank expressions.
What on earth happened?
There was only one person who could answer, and the rest lost consciousness while playing ‘animal games’, so everyone had nothing to say.
glance
I continued to observe Songi, the only person who could answer. Something… has changed.
Due to the nature of the hotel, even if something terrible happens inside, it returns to its perfect state as soon as you come out, but there is a change in the atmosphere that cannot be hidden.
The timid appearance that always seemed intimidating disappeared, and the expression was endlessly exhausted.
Moreover, right before waking up from ‘sleep’. A clear message shown to everyone in the status window
Final solution. Acquiring ‘diverse perspectives’ on heritage
I don’t know what it is, but I understand that it was a situation where Song went on a great adventure alone and obtained a ‘treasure’ while everyone was distracted.
In other words, it felt like I had risen to the top of the food chain among us in an instant.
Everyone headed to room 105 to have lunch, just watching Song.
If you eat something delicious, it will tell you something.

—-Boom!—-Boom! Clap, clap, clap! Clap clap clap clap! Clap clap clap clap! Clap clap clap clap!
As soon as I entered room 105, the sound of exploding fireworks rang out, and even though no one was there, the sound of applause filled the entire room!
/Dear customers! Congratulations! All of the hotel staff would like to sincerely congratulate you on finding your first treasure.
Endless trials! Colleagues who disappeared! Hopelessly strong enemies! You overcame all the hardships and reached the treasure! You have proven to be the hero we have been waiting for.
Of course, we have no doubts about others either.
Everyone invited is worthy of winning the treasure. We are happy to look forward to the heroic narratives you will write.
However, since treasures are so powerful, they are very difficult to use.
How about we all take a break and get used to using the treasure over the next three days?
Sometimes you need a break to move forward. Today’s surprise event: party time! This starts.
# Party time lasts for 3 days and nothing dangerous will happen during that period.
Also, it is said that the hotel has secrets that are only revealed during party times?/
A notice with truly loud content filled the entire display of room 105 and blinked.
30 seconds for everyone to be speechless for a moment
“Clap clap clap clap! Thank you all, Songi! Shout quickly!”
Only then did the atmosphere explode and everyone started celebrating noisily!
Songi, whose expression was a mixture of embarrassment and fatigue at first, also turned red and returned to a look that we are somewhat familiar with.
Only after ‘summoning’ the food in a noisy atmosphere and starting to eat –
The hearing has begun.
“So, Mrs. Heuksongi. “Please explain what happened.”
“sister! What on earth are those strange words from earlier? “What on earth is Mrs. Heuksongi?”
“Then let’s take Tarak Songi. “I was so scared of Songi that I couldn’t even talk to her.”
The bundle of stories that Songi slowly unraveled was quite shocking.
A human ranch created by aliens using mind manipulation tools to extract human intelligence.
Spaceship with ranch included. A divine transcendental entity in charge of the spaceship’s engine.
The process of escaping and obtaining an inheritance with the help of the transcendental body.
And… the ordeal.
A story about meeting collaborators in a place where many intelligent beings were tortured for eternity with only their heads left.
A story about destroying the administrator by massacring the corpses of ‘Athanasia’ in a place full of them.
At this point, everyone was already unable to breathe, and the final ordeal was fighting against ‘us’ who were ruled by none other than aliens.
Everyone was speechless.
There wasn’t much to say about how Songi got through that ‘ordeal’.
We didn’t want to ask too much about how Songi killed us, so we just skipped over it.
If you think about it, Songi played the role of killing us in ‘Mansion of Horror’ as well.
He is the horror party butcher himself.
Of course, I didn’t say this out loud…
When the atmosphere became extremely cold, Eunsol unni, as always, organized the situation again.
“ruler! Anyway, let bygones be bygones. “Let’s organize what needs to be done from now on!”
“If it goes according to the notice, we will be closed for the next three days. “The first thing we need to do is do what the notice says: I think we all need to take the time to understand the ‘heritage.’”
“That’s ok. “What do you think of anyone other than Ga-in?”
“Dangerous things disappear in ‘Party Time,’ and there is a secret that is revealed only in ‘Party Time.’
Doesn’t this mean you should explicitly search for hotels? Looks like I need to get some rest and go explore the hotel…”
“Our time is tighter than I thought. You have to understand the heritage, and you have to search for hotels. “Is there anything else we can think about together?”
Something worth worrying about.
In fact, there was one thing that made me wonder while looking at the status window as soon as I woke up.
“It’s nothing special… The date that appears in the status window is ‘the 13th.’ It was the 10th day when I entered, and my last day as an animal was the 13th.
After that, the days couldn’t be counted at all. “I’m not sure what the date means.”
“Well, simply thinking about it, wouldn’t it be because Ga-in was down at that point?
In the first place, only you can see the status window, not us.
“Time calculations may not reflect ‘after you die or fail.’”
is it? Something vague yet plausible.
“At this point, let’s once again summarize each person’s ‘blessings.’ I am getting stronger and my stamina is improving.
It’s very simple and clear, but there seem to be some people who are vaguely complex…”
“I am a ‘status window’. “A status window that displays notifications whenever there is a crisis.”
“I am the market. I bought tonfa, capsaicin, and bandages. I was just about to say it! According to Ga-in’s status window, it’s day 13, right?
It seems like my market time goes back to that date.
What I mean is, you can buy 3 each week, and tomorrow is the 14th day.
Buy at least 3 useful items between today and tomorrow.
First off, I’ll buy another capsaicin one. “Think about the other two individually.”
“My luck is that nothing has taken off since ‘Bizarre Family’… Maybe it’s a blessing that the ‘cool down time’ is long.”
“I understand ‘friendliness’ now. Perhaps it is the ability to gain favor from non-human beings…”
“I know everyone, right? Communication”
*
Roughly speaking, the rough reality of the six blessings was revealed.
Han Ga-in (20) – Wisdom -> Status Window. Warning in case of crisis
Cha Jin-cheol (31) – Courage -> Strengthening physical ability
Yoo Song-i (17) – Friendship -> Gains favor with surreal beings
Park Seung-yeop (14) – Luck -> Literally luck. Maybe the cooldown is long?
Eunsol Lee (32) – Wealth -> HP Market
Mukseong Kim (64) – Communication -> KakaoTalk in my head. Severe conversation volume restrictions
Two unidentified blessings.
Elena Ivanov (23) – Justice
Ari Kim (16) – hint
I think I understand the ‘implied’.
Although I pretend not to know Ari himself, I clearly remember that Ari hypnotized me in ‘Mansion of Horror’.
Isn’t that perhaps a ‘suggestion’?
After organizing the general information to date and having lunch, we agreed to check the heritage first before exploring the hotel.
*
‘Different perspectives’, or what I learned as soon as I tested the bracelet’s functionality.
The only person who can use the bracelet is Songi.
Songi takes off the bracelet and gives it to someone else, but there is nothing special about the other person’s arm.
Only the owner who obtained it legally can use it.
Is this a feature that future treasures will also have? Or is it a unique feature of the bracelet?
When Songi started wearing bracelets on us in earnest, we as a group were mesmerized.
*
What on earth is this? We’ve all been experiencing the bracelet’s power in turns for several hours, and we’re always surprised.
Eunsol noona’s face suddenly tripled in size before my eyes, then Eunsol noona disappeared and Jincheolhyeong appeared.
I realized this while trying to touch Jincheol in a daze.
In fact, there was nothing there to begin with.
When I turned back in confusion, I suddenly saw myself standing in the forest.
Let’s turn around again, this time to the sky. There were full of clouds around.
The power of ‘diverse perspectives’.
As the name suggests, it randomly shakes our perception of the world!
No matter how I try to ‘resist’, I have no idea what to do.
Are you saying that Athanasia or something like this means that all entities carry around these ridiculous items?
To us, it was an absurd and surreal object, but Songi’s reaction was ambiguous.
“Somehow, it’s different from when I used it on a spaceship.”
“different? what does it mean?”
“It feels like there are a lot of restrictions.”
???
“No, this is a ‘highly restricted’ state?”
“Originally, there was a big difference between when Athanasia used it and when I used it… I guess that was the user’s problem.
Aside from that, even based on what I wrote, it has become much more difficult. “The movement function was also blocked.”
“The movement function may have been a function of the spaceship.”
“That could be true.”
“What do you mean it’s much harder?”
“Once I started writing, I lost a lot of concentration. “It’s almost impossible to use for more than 10 minutes.”
“sister! “Maybe that’s a nerf?”
“Nerf?”
“Even in the game, when the boss used it, it was a weapon with incredible specifications, right?
“When you defeat a boss and get that weapon, there are times when you get a huge nerf to avoid destroying the game balance.”
“…”
“It’s funny, but it seems like a pretty accurate explanation.”
“I’ll try it one last time. This time…Ariya?”

amazing. And I’m jealous.
An alien mind control tool.
The performance is in no way comparable to the ‘clumsy toys’ used by the management bureau.
The most surprising thing is that such absurd performance is achieved without any cost.
The only ‘crappy toys’ used by the management bureau are things like using a liter of blood to show a person an illusion for about 10 seconds, shortening one’s lifespan, or having a device the size of a building.
The thing that girl got her hands on was the size of a bracelet and had the ability to toy with an intelligent body for more than 10 minutes, but the only price she got was a bit of a headache.
Since they are throwing out such absurd items, the management bureau is unable to give up its greed every time and has no choice but to force agents into the hotel.
While I was thinking about this, people around me were going crazy.
It suddenly turned into a sea of fire, then fell onto a frozen snowy field (I could even feel the cold), and only the faces of my colleagues were flying around in the air.
Should I resist?
I think it might be possible… but let’s stop.
It’s tiring to be unnecessarily wary of someone with that kind of ability.
Is the bracelet experiment finally over? Whirling! Then he returned to the room.
A string appeared in the air.
What are you?
I remember everything.
What are you hiding?
I will continue to watch over you.
Ah, your alertness is already at MAX. I really wanted to avoid this situation.
But what should I do? At that ‘ranch’, if I hadn’t used my strength, I would have killed you and ruined everything.
A person with such strong abilities is very tired when he is on guard…
Should we do something to lower our guard?
*
Ari’s gaze was slowly corrected, and it seemed that Songi’s bracelet experiment was almost coming to an end.
Just as I was thinking that we should all make a hotel search plan together –
Suddenly, Ari hugged Songi.
“sister! “I love you~~!”
I was speechless.
