– Han Ga-in
Early in the morning, colleagues gathered around the tea table for a final clean-up.
Sister Eunsol was already standing in front of the whiteboard like a teacher, dressed neatly. It felt familiar, but at times also strange.
Is this a characteristic of the youngest daughter of a conglomerate family?
“Do you remember the general layout of Room 104?”
It was well organized on the whiteboard.
” Hotel Party: Hotelgo students and teachers
Hostile Forces: Old School Cult Group
Opponent: Aurelia
Prisoner: Lord
」
“The basic power relationship is like this. The cult group tries to brainwash students by recruiting them into the old school.”
I mentioned the parts I remember.
“If you take A, don’t forget to send a doll to the school to replace A. I don’t think it’s a complete human being though.”
“Good point. In the first attempt, after many people died in the chaos, Gain and Ari caused chaos at the school and escaped.”
I met the Lord and died while trying to assassinate Aurelia, and Ari was caught by the police after burning down the entire school.
“In the process, we learned one thing. Cults try to avoid being caught by outside forces, namely the ‘Administration’.”
“Yes.”
“In the second attempt, I attacked the cult from the beginning. After defeating the cultists, Aurelia appeared. She had received a revelation from the Lord and knew information about Elena. Thanks to that, we had a pretty tough fight.”
That’s where the crisis began.
“When Aurelia fell, the sacred sun, the legacy of No. 104 and the avatar of the Lord, appeared. As soon as the avatar appeared, it used the descent of Cain as it pleased and tried to kill everyone.”
“I resisted with the Grimoire, and everyone tried their best to escape. I escaped by inhabiting Pero’s body.”
“After that, we recruited Aurelia and attacked the old school again while the Lord was unable to move properly. The Lord had already chosen a new saintess.”
“In the end, I used the escape button to escape. Even thinking back now, it was a truly precious item….”
To this extent, we have summarized the past progress related to No. 104.
“Here’s the key! You’ve all wondered for a long time: Why on earth can the Lord run wild like this?”
I received the following words:
“The bottom line is simple. The ‘real Lord’ has never intervened since the first attempt. That was the one time he intervened and sent me down.”
So then who on earth is the being that fought us to the death from the second attempt?
“The being that threatened us afterwards was none other than the divine sun.”
He regards the divine sun as another self.
Since they are divine beings, their ideas about ‘identity’ may be different from those of humans.
How about a hotel?
The hotel may be thinking that the god is mentally ill and the sacred sun may be a legacy with an ego.
Looking at it this way, there is no particular reason why the sacred sun can run wild in No. 104.
Because the hotel doesn’t see you as a prisoner.
Because it’s just a fairly powerful ‘ego legacy’.
Ariga opened her mouth and tapped the table.
“Let’s also consider the hints we got before.”
Hints given by the hotel regarding room 104.
First, how to call your father.
“The first letter of the hint is daughter. Of course, I’ll give you the one corresponding to the father. In other words, Aurelia has to do ㅁㅁ, but I see this as ‘betrayal.’”
How a daughter betrays her father.
“The second thing to consider is the leakage of secrets.”
‘The dangers of mirror warfare, the myths and doctrines of the sect, empty the enemy’s magazine.’
This time, I opened my mouth.
“We have already experienced the dangers of mirror warfare. We responded as if we were attacking a hotel party. The enemy’s magazine, or descent, has now been used up, so the sacred sun will have no means of suddenly controlling me.”
The last is the myth and doctrine of the church.
“That is, we must look more closely at the sect itself. If we consider this point and examine the past progress of No. 104, we can see the conditions for the intervention of the Lord or the Divine Sun.”
The first attempt, as we tried to escape the school, Aurelia appeared with explosive power.
From the perspective of the religious community, it was a significant crisis, as anyone who felt the strangeness of the hotel and escaped would likely report it to the management.
Here, the Lord directly intervened when I attempted to assassinate the saint.
The second attempt, when we overturned the sect, the sacred sun descended openly and shattered the board.
Jincheol, who had been listening, nodded.
“Is it always the case that the church must be in crisis before it can intervene?”
“Yes. Of course, indirect communication with the saint is possible on a wider scale. It could be through revelations or prophetic dreams.”
At that moment, Miro tilted his head.
“Then shouldn’t we provoke the church? If we put the church in danger, the state will intervene.”
Ariga immediately refuted this.
“That’s not it. In the second attempt, we also found out the solution conditions for 104. The Lord himself told us. It’s the destruction of the church.”
Miro was confused by those words.
“Then what should we do? To solve this, we need to destroy the religious order, but if we destroy the religious order, the Lord or the divine sun will intervene.”
This is the alpha and omega of all matters pertaining to No. 104.
To solve this, the sect must be destroyed, but attacking the sect causes a being close to a god to intervene.
Jincheol’s expression hardened.
“This requires a strong force, right? Of course! Look at our current strength. Just how many Legacies are there? At this level, the Holy Sun and Aurelia’s tricks are -”
“Sleep tight!”
I stopped Jincheol from letting his imagination run wild.
“Huh, huh? Gain?”
“Brother. The moment I went that way, I was headed in the wrong direction.”
“Hmm….”
“Don’t forget, room 104 is the ‘first floor.’”
“…”
“This is what you said, hyung. We destroy the sect and make the sacred sun pop out. We strike down that demigod with our mighty power.”
“Is it strange?”
“Actually, I used to think that way too. The divine sun appears in the underground city, the Lord told me. So should I drag the saint up to the surface and kill her? That’s what I thought.”
“Is it different now?”
“First, the saint exerts her power on earth ‘according to the circumstances.’”
During the first attempt, the saint clearly exerted her power on the ground.
“Is there a condition where the Lord or the Holy Sun can intervene on Earth? Or did he use up the power he had previously given to the Saint? I’m not sure which. The important thing is that he uses his power when he has to on Earth.”
Ariga mentioned a simple hypothesis.
“Perhaps the divine sun only appears underground, but the ‘true Lord’ may not have any location restrictions as long as the conditions are met.”
“Any other reasons?”
“Cheon Ki Nu Seol asked us to think about the myths and doctrines of the religious order. Doesn’t this mean that we should approach the religious order and try to understand it rather than destroy it?”
“aha!”
“Lastly, if we simply follow the solution that the state originally thought of, we will only be playing with the state’s intentions. We need to use a different method.”
“Whatever the reason, I’m saying that beating a half-body to death with force is wrong. I understand.”
To this extent, the topics related to issue 104 have been summarized.
The teacher, who had been listening silently, moved towards the whiteboard.
“I guess we can summarize the meeting like this.”
“First, we must not rashly harm the religious order, especially the saints.
Second, we will think about the church’s myths and doctrines.
Third, the solution must be possible with low specs at the first floor level.
All the key points are included in this three-line summary.
“Okay… If you understand this far, do you have an idea how to solve it?”
The solution I found is something that ‘happens often in the real world’.

Current Location: Tier 1, Room 104 – The Cursed Room ‘Hotel High School, a prestigious entrance exam school’
Wise man’s advice: X]
— Ding dong dang dong~!
As soon as I woke up, the familiar sight of the hotel came into view.
As in #104, the main functions of the status window, such as the wise man’s advice, are blocked.
Of course, it’s not a big problem because I’ve already made a plan while getting advice from outside.
There have been many –
A teacher talking about English in front of the class, and students nodding their heads with bored expressions.
Around me, I see colleagues with somewhat tired expressions.
Ari yawning, Elena in her school uniform, and Songi holding a parrot.
It’s still absurd even when I look at it again.
Who brings a parrot to class?
I think it would be better to start slowly –
“You, I still don’t know.”
“…”
“Is it really necessary to resort to such a vicious measure? Why bother thinking about a solution in the first place? Just go to the old school and defeat the saint, then summon your father.”
“…”
“Then, after your father has taken care of it, he will negotiate with you.”
This part is also something I shared with my colleagues during the final meeting.
This part is also the strangeness of No. 104.
Unlike other rooms, the prisoner in room 104 is not an entity that interferes with the solution of the room.
Rather, he tries to take care of the room with his own hands.
His goal is to get the divine sun out of the hotel, and for that, solving the room problem is essential.
In this context, the revelation’s point that worrying about how to solve it is useless also makes sense.
‘Can you hear me?’
“…”
‘As you said, we will have to negotiate with the Lord at the last moment. We also came to this room to take that sacred sun.’
“then -”
‘Listen. There’s something I have to do before we go to the negotiating table.’
“There’s something I have to do….”
‘We need to negotiate from a more advantageous position. For that, the work ahead is necessary.’
“…”
‘Think about it. You are another me born because of Kangrim. What does that mean? You are closer to Han Ga-in than to the Lord. So don’t try to represent the Lord’s views, but stand in my shoes.’
As we had this conversation, I naturally thought:
The level of my soul that people in the administration often talk about.
If this were not enough, would the revelation have listened to me as it does now?
I absolutely do not think so.
It might have swallowed me up long ago.
“I’m speaking from Han Ga-in’s perspective, not her father’s… ”
‘Do you really think of the Lord as your father? Then think of Him this way.’
“…”
“What is the role of a father? Isn’t it supposed to die when the time comes and hand over the throne to your children? To inherit the throne -”
…
The last sentence accidentally came out of my mouth.
Not only the teacher who was in class, but also the students around me all looked at me.
“Ha, Hanga-in! You’re a human being!”
“…”
“This kid doesn’t pay attention in class! And what? Dad has to come back when it’s time?”
“I didn’t say that, but….”
“You punk! After class – no, come out here right now and lie down!”
Something annoying happened.
But, when I thought about what I had to do from now on, it wasn’t such a serious problem.
As we walked towards the podium, the English teacher began swinging a wooden stick threateningly.
“Are you going to hit me with that?”
“Han Ga-in! Why do you talk like that? Inma, what, take a picture with your phone and post it on SNS?”
“no.”
“Then get down right now -”
Han Ga In’s Ryu (流) Secret – Teleport Body Slam!
— Crazy!
One blow was enough to break the back of a crazy teacher who was selling his students to a cult.
Come to think of it, Eunsol, who heard my plan, smiled bitterly and named it like this.
‘Project Terraforming’
It starts now.
