Finally, after walking from the front desk in the opposite direction from the front door for about 10 minutes, the elevator appeared.
“Ah, this feels a bit cheap. The information window said that the elevator was broken. Could it be that the elevator broke down and a ridiculous monster came out again?”
“That makes sense. Ga-in, you have a sharp edge from earlier. Let’s all stop for a moment. “I’ll bring something with me.”
In fact, no one objected because everyone knew that this man alone accounted for about 90% of the group’s force.
Not long after, he came bearing something… something great.
“Eh? Bro, what on earth is that? What window? Is there something like this?
“Oh, Seungyeop. As I was walking earlier, I saw that there was something that looked like a pillar for putting up a flag, perhaps a decoration or something. “If you just take off the flag, it’s an iron bar.”
“Well… Mr. Jincheol, aren’t you scared? Even at a glance, it definitely looks like it’s over 10kg.”
“Jincheol, what is that? Just say that Ga-in is your brother too. And didn’t you say it at lunch? I’m not really the type to wield something this ignorant…
I think it will work now. That’s how I feel. Probably thanks to the blessing of courage. “It’s a bit of an exaggeration to say Superman… I feel like it’s about Captain America.”
“Ah… Then I’ll call him older brother. Anyway, I feel reassured. “Even the biggest monster would be surprised if he got hit with something so ignorant.”
Captain America. For some reason, it feels very fitting. Are you Korean or Captain Korea?
Just a little bit, I thought that this brother had become more of a monster than most monsters.
Since the person in charge of the team’s military power had become very trustworthy, everyone headed toward the elevator with a more confident step than before.
Suddenly-
I opened the elevator door. Fortunately, there wasn’t anything particularly monstrous, and it was unexpectedly quite clean.
The meaning of the malfunction could be found by looking at the instrument panel.
The 2nd/3rd floor buttons do not light up. Just in case, Songi immediately pressed the button, but as expected, there was no response.
“Can’t we go to the 2nd and 3rd floors yet? Then underground? Should I go there?”
“Let’s go somewhere first! I can go roughly, but I have to go through them all and see what’s there or not. “Anyway, is there anything wrong with Captain America’s group?”
Eunsol, whose confidence seemed to have increased significantly, shouted confidently, and Jincheolhyung, who was next to her, smiled sheepishly. And the moment Songi was about to press down on the basement-
[It is extremely dangerous to go underground now.]
Teok-
Almost as if running out of instinct, I reached out and grabbed Song-i’s arm. It was such a sudden action that everyone was taken aback.
Everyone didn’t know how to react, so they just looked at me and said, “Uh, uh, uh,” and Songi was shaking like a rabbit.
“sorry. But right now, the notification popped up. “This is the ‘status window’ notification I mentioned earlier at lunch.”
“Are you saying that only you can see it? “You told me to come to room 105?”
“that’s right.”
“What is written? “I understand roughly, but…”
“They say it’s extremely dangerous to go underground now.”
“Oh, by the way… everything about this damn hotel is dangerous.”
“Then, let’s do as he says. I also told you about number 105, so I guess you can trust it. And Gain? I think I can let go of my arms now. “If you hold it a little longer, Songi will faint.”
“Oh, sorry. “I was just surprised too.”
“No, no, no….”
“Ga-in, according to the explanation I heard earlier, how many ‘wise advice’ are left?”

Sage Advice: 0]
“It says there are 0.”
“0? Ah, did it decrease when I told you not to open the front door earlier?”
After a moment of silence, Eunsol, who plays a leader-like role, opened her mouth.
“Then, let’s end today’s exploration. “I guess… it seems too dangerous to wander around in this dangerous and strange place without Ga-in’s ‘notification’ number.”
“Is there any way to fill this number?”
“Hyung, basically, something like that can be done with just one night’s sleep. Normally, it is a national rule that if you sleep at an inn, you will have all your mana and stamina.”
Soup rules. It was like a game, but in reality, there was no other way. And for some reason, I felt that way too.
Everyone agreed that it was dangerous to explore without wise advice, and eventually everyone returned to room 105.
“Now… the moment you enter here, everyone automatically splits up, right? A little while later, during dinner, he appears again as if teleporting?”
“I think so.”
“Then let’s all go in and get some rest. In about an hour, it’s meal time again. Take some rest, wash up, and that’ll do it. “I’m done looking around today… but actually, I still don’t know what to do.”
“I think we won’t have to worry about that any time soon.”
“what do you mean?”
“Didn’t everyone feel it earlier? We don’t know if it’s a person, a monster, or a ghost, but something continues to ‘manage’ us. The drinks came out just right, and when I think about it now, the food probably came out to everyone’s liking. I don’t think something that ‘manages’ us this much will leave us alone without knowing what to do. Also, they will say something like ‘Dear Customer’ and tell you to do this or that.”
“That makes sense. In fact, there is nothing else to do.”
“okay. And… I tell everyone just in case, there will be times when you don’t necessarily feel like eating, whether today or any other time. In such cases, even if you don’t eat, don’t go somewhere else and come to the restaurant during meal time and show your face. “I think we need to constantly check each other’s survival in strange places like this.”
Meal time. If you think about it, communication between people in this place is much more difficult than you might think. The only space that can be considered safe is room 105, but once you enter room 105, there is no way to meet each other other than during meal times three times a day. In reality, this kind of thing can be done with KakaoTalk, but cell phones have long been used.
It occurred to me that we should all meet together periodically.
“I also have a suggestion. Once you enter room 105, there is no way to meet each other. Our cell phones don’t work, and we can’t see each other except during meal times. However, I think we need to share information with each other outside of meal times, or, as my sister said, make sure we’re alive. So… How about coming out of the room once every hour on the hour before going to sleep? “As of today, excluding meal times from 7 to 8:30, I think everyone should come out once in a while until around 6:00, 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00 to check to see if there’s anything special going on or if there’s anything to do.”
Unexpectedly, Songi and Elena were the first to react.
“I think it’s a really good idea! To be honest, staying alone in the hotel until dinner time in the morning was really… so, so scary. “I think it’s good to check in with each other even if just for a little while.”
“I agree too. Honestly, I don’t need privacy or anything in a strange place like this, so I wish I could just let you be with me… I force you to meet me often.”
Naturally, everyone agreed to the proposal, and we established two life principles.
Even when not eating, come out and report your survival.
Please gather in front of the entrance to room 105 every hour on the hour and check on each other.
After establishing these living principles, everyone left for their respective rooms through one entrance.

A gorgeous bedroom in a ridiculously large mansion, the same as when you left in the morning. It probably wouldn’t be easy for even a second generation chaebol somewhere to live in a house like this.
I have this incredibly luxurious mansion to myself, and the food is amazingly delicious. Wouldn’t this be heaven on earth?
I tried to deceive myself, but it didn’t work. There won’t be man-eating monkeys or extreme dangers in paradise on earth.
What kind of mistake did I make to be locked up in this unidentified hell?
Confusion, fear, worry, anticipation of adventure? In addition to this, as I was laughing helplessly in the whirlpool of many violent storms, I saw the status window blinking from earlier.
Sage advice would be 0, right? Upon closer inspection, I realized that it was not sage advice.

Open with a similar feeling as before! When I looked at the relevant box with a strong thought, I blamed myself and a window opened.
As soon as it opened, a huge amount of string covered my eyes.
Ah, if I press this in an urgent situation in the future, I will be in big trouble.
If you think about it, there was no such flickering when searching from the outside.
Perhaps there are functions that are activated only when in a safe place.
This is everyone’s profile summarized in very few words.
1. Han Ga-in (20) – Wisdom. K University Freshman 2. Cha Jin-cheol (31) – Courage. former martial arts athlete
3. Yoo Song-i (17) – Friendly. Raise multiple animals.
4. Elena Ivanov (23) – Justice. Children of diplomats in exile. Current aspiring actor
5. Park Seung-yeop (14) – Luck. A boy in a flurry of rage
6. Lee Eun-sol (32) – Wealth and fame. 3 daughters of Daeyang Group Chairman
ah. This feels as if I am informing them of the ‘feelings’ and ‘related facts’ I received from seeing my colleagues today.
I instantly understood the characteristics of the ‘Blessing of Wisdom’.
Transforming the vague information you have obtained into solid facts, or warning you when an unknown danger arises.
[I understand a little about blessings!]
I knew I had understood correctly when the notification appeared as if I had been waiting for it. As for the information about her colleagues, it mostly seemed like, oh, that’s right. But isn’t it surprising? It’s the same feeling.
Jin Cheol-hyung, who was hearing great expressions like Terminator and Captain America, was a former martial arts athlete, and Song-i, who had been momentarily taken aback during the conversation earlier, really liked animals. It feels natural that Elena is an aspiring actress. If she had been born with that look, I would have had that dream too. Seungyeop, in fact, aren’t all men that age going through a period of gale and fury? The obvious statement is written.
However, Eunsol was honestly surprised. The Daeyang Group is a leading conglomerate that no one in Korea knows about, and the three daughters of such a family… She was infinitely richer than I thought.
At the same time… I honestly wondered what the meaning was. What does it mean to be a second-generation chaebol or a dirt spoon in a hotel where monsters come out? The most meaningful qualification would be that he is a former martial arts athlete. He fell asleep in a daze, thinking that he had become closer to Jincheol.
Ah, I guess I should set the alarm and go to sleep…
Fortunately, the long day ended without incident, other than a bit of nagging because I was a little late for dinner.
