Eunsol Lee: Everyone, come to the front! I just used the Hand of Greed!
[Today’s Special Event: ‘Dinner Party’ Begins!]
When I went outside after seeing Eunsol’s message and notification, everyone had a bewildered look on their face.
“Sister, what’s going on?”
Songi’s question, which represented everyone’s curiosity, was answered simply by her older sister.
“I don’t know. I just used my greedy hand.”
“Hey guys! Is there something like an instruction manual here?”
When I looked in the direction my grandfather was pointing, I saw a sign telling me to come up because a dinner party was being held on the second floor.
“This, this, this is ominous. Can I go?”
“What if I don’t go?”
“…”
Ari’s answer is correct.
Everything about the hotel is unstable, but what if I don’t go?
From the beginning, this event was the result of greed.
This is an event that we started because we wanted to.
My older sister emphasized that I should not forget.
“Do you remember? Why I used my greedy hand this time?”
To get information about room 207, the last room on the second floor.
“I think I’ll let you know indirectly. Everyone, wake up and concentrate.”
“… Sister, hearing that makes me feel even less like it’s going to be a party.”
Soon everyone approached the elevator.
— Ding!
The moment you press the 2nd floor button, the door closes.
“Participants, from now on, the blessings and legacy will be sealed. There is no great danger, so everyone, have fun!”
“Oh, these kids again!”
… my consciousness became blurred.

– Park Seung-yeop
…Wow. Where the hell am I?
“Oh really, I don’t know where this place is.”
As soon as I heard the teacher’s voice, something in my heart felt relieved.
If I had fallen into a strange place by myself, I would have just died without being able to move!
I immediately sat right next to the teacher.
“Oh my, Seungyeop. It’s hot, so you should get a little cold -”
“Eww! It’s so hot!”
“… Miss Miro, it’s dangerous to yell so rashly -”
“Eww! Gyaaaaah! Eww- eww!”
Hearing Miro’s voice made me feel uneasy again.
Fortunately, Songi, who was next to him, covered Miro’s mouth without hesitation.
There are four people gathered here: me, the teacher, Songi, and finally Miro.
In this group, there’s no need to look any further; the teacher is the leader.
As if it were natural, Songi also approached the teacher and asked a question.
“Teacher, what kind of jungle is this?”
“It seems that way, but um, I can see the river, so let’s just follow it.”
It was clearly called a ‘dinner party’, but when I came to my senses, I found myself in an absurd jungle.
How many hours would it take for a normal person to accept such an absurd situation?
After spending so much time in a hotel, no one is surprised by something like this.
“Eww! Eww – eww!”
“I told you to be quiet! If a monster shows up, Maze will feed you!”
“…”
Except for the maze.
— thud!
My shoulder felt heavy, and then a hard beak gently bit my cheek.
I couldn’t help but laugh at Pero’s reaction, which seemed to say, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
“Yeah, I’m glad you’re here, Pero -”
“Hey, Seungyeop. Pero pooped on my back.”
“…”
*
We walked and walked through the muggy jungle for quite some time.
Unfortunately, the jungle was not a very human-friendly place.
“Eww! Snake, snake!”
I laughed slightly at the scream I heard from behind.
Sister Songi, how many things have we gone through at the hotel?
Still barely a snake –
“Kk! Teacher! Eww!”
The snake’s head is bigger than my body!
— Beep!
Why is this stupid bird playing right next to me?
Could it be that he can’t transform right now?
“This useless parrot!!!”
— Beep!
As the three boys and girls were all singing together and backing away from the giant anaconda, the teacher leading the group ran in like lightning and hit the anaconda with a thick wooden stick.
— Gulp!
The snake made a strange noise and tried to counterattack several times, but the teacher calmly dodged it like a martial arts master and continued to strike.
Eventually, the anaconda, seemingly unable to win, went back into the water.
“Whew… I’m alive. No, Pero, you’re really useless, aren’t you?”
— Beep!
The moment when Pero got really angry and tried to bite my ear hard.
“Yay!”
Without hesitation, he grabbed Pero with both hands, turned his body over, and shook him.
“This is the difference between humans and parrots!”
Ha, that’s not even funny.
Are you talking back to a parrot that can’t even transform?
Today, let’s break this stupid parrot’s habit –
— Bam!
“Don’t be stupid and give me the pero.”
“… yes.”
Sister Songi grabbed Pero’s head and took him away.
This time, the maze that had run away far away came and spoke.
“You, didn’t you learn any martial arts in room 205?”
“…”
“What about Aksha? What kind of bear did you beat with that?”
“…”
That happened.
Come to think of it, it seems like I can still use my martial arts skills, even though my blessings and heritage have been sealed.
“Martial arts don’t work on anacondas?”
“… I don’t know either.”
Honestly, it works on bears, so it would definitely work on anacondas.
I wonder if the problem lies with me rather than with the martial arts.
“Hey, this time I’ll try to use it actively!”
“Huh? That, that’s not what I meant.”
Whatever you meant by that, I was secretly stimulated!
I, Park Seung-yeop, am the disciple who inherited the true spirit of the world’s best master, Lee Ja-seong.
‘The greatest talent of all time’
It is impossible to retreat just because you are afraid of a beast.
“Teacher! I will take the lead from now on.”
“… I feel anxious.”
“Yay! Yay!”
“…”
Soon after, the next crisis emerged.

– Lee Eun-sol
Me, Elena, and Cha Jin-cheol.
The three of them woke up in a run-down mansion of unknown identity.
“Was this the house that the sponsor showed me?”
“well….”
As we waited, leaving Elena behind, who was looking anxious, Cha Jin-cheol, who had been inspecting the mansion, soon returned.
“You’re back so soon? There’s nothing special inside the house?”
“There’s nothing. It’s quite large, so I thought there would be a lot of servants, but there aren’t any. Oh, I found a door leading outside. I went out a little and found a village.”
“Really? Should we take a look around the town?”
“Grub-”
Jincheol, who was about to answer, paused for a moment, then looked at us and made an awkward expression.
“That, I think it would be too noticeable.”
I understood it right away.
Elena, who looks like a celebrity wherever she goes, going out without a blessing or inheritance is a dangerous act in itself.
“Let’s go together.”
“Sister, you too… Let’s go out and cover up something.”
“…”
Those words secretly made me feel good.
I don’t know if Jincheol said this because he was trying to live a social life or if he was serious about it.
“Elena, wait at home.”
“Uhm, yes.”
*
As soon as I went outside, I understood what Jincheol meant.
It wasn’t just some rural village, it was a different era.
A raw dirt road without even the slightest bit of pavement, let alone asphalt.
People walking around carrying farm tools, wearing something that looks more like a rag than clothes.
Here, farmland spread out everywhere as if it were a given, and even a stench that stung the nose.
When an Asian with pure white skin and neat clothes appears in a place like this, everyone’s eyes widen as I walk by.
“…”
I’m embarrassed to say this, but I feel like I’m royalty in some other world.
“Jincheol, if you weren’t here, we’d be in big trouble.”
“Please stick closer.”
“okay.”
Regardless of whether he is a blessing or a legacy, Cha Jin-cheol is a strong person.
I feel like he’s 2m tall and weighs at least 120kg, but that’s all muscle.
He is a man who would have been a chief or a general at any point in the history of the Earth.
It just so happened that I was born in the modern era and ended up becoming a physical education student with a twisted life.
With people like this around, I wasn’t afraid of the naked farmers.
“It’s not like the East, it’s like the West.”
“I know.”
All the farmers are white.
“I should go and ask about this and that.”
“Don’t go, just wave your hand and call. That sounds more plausible.”
“That’s a good idea.”
When Jincheol made a gesture with a deliberately fierce expression, several farmers soon approached him in fear.
“Me, Nari! Why are you doing this?”
Jincheol soon asked where we were and who we were.
“Huh? What are you saying -”
“Just answer.”
“〿〿〿〿〿”
“…”
When it comes to specifics, I can’t understand the words.
It was Korean until a moment ago, but suddenly it changed into an incomprehensible alien language.
“I guess we can’t figure out ‘text information’ after all. Let’s stop wasting time and look around.”
“Let’s do that.”
At that moment, a loud clattering sound was heard from afar.
“word?”
Dimly – a savage voice could be heard from afar.
“Kill the heretics!”
Cha Jin-cheol and I looked at each other, unable to hide our bewilderment.
“What kind of medieval times is this?!”
“Well, if we are in the Middle Ages, what about other people?
Other people fell into different eras?

“Hey, it’s been a while since we’ve done something together like this.”
“…”
Isn’t this the first time you and Senior Ari have been left alone in a hotel?
While scratching his chin and searching through his memories, the senior muttered.
“This is a kind of hint the hotel gives about room 207.”
“yes.”
“…Is it also a hint that blessings and inheritance are sealed?”
“Well, that’s what happened in the first floor gate room.”
“…”
“In the actual gateway room, it seems like only one of the two will be sealed.”
You give them superpowers as a reward, but seal them both during the actual trial?
This is a bit off.
I think only one of the two will be sealed.
Since it was the same in the gate room on the first floor, it would be similar on the second floor.
“You’re wearing a tuxedo, and I’m wearing a dress.”
“It’s a party outfit! And look at this letter. It even asks you to draw a picture and come here.”
The moment we were about to leave, my senior muttered softly.
“If only the two of us were a party in the actual gateway room.”
“What about a party?”
“It seems like our blessings are sealed.”
“… What is the basis?”
“You just got your inheritance in the last room, and I’ll get it soon.”
“…”
“You seal it as soon as you get the inheritance without even having a chance to use it? This feels a bit against common morality.”
What kind of business ethics are there in a hotel!
This is ridiculous logic.
But, it was a secretly persuasive story.
As the senior said, if we are a ‘party’ that can use the legacy… .
There must be a party somewhere that only uses blessings.
“If we follow Senior’s logic, Elena should be able to use Blessing. She’s been strengthened this time, so shouldn’t she try using it?”
“…”

– Han Ga-in
I’m a cold city guy.
But my girl –
Let’s stop talking nonsense.
I opened the door and went outside, trying to control my mind from running off in an unexpected direction.
“…It feels familiar.”
I saw cars honking and spewing out smoke that made it scary to take even a few steps, and citizens walking along the street, exhausted and worn out.
It’s a scene I know all too well.
Seoul is the capital of South Korea and a global metropolis.
I walked along the street for a while feeling awkward, but the citizens were busy with their own work and paid no attention to me.
“…”
No blessings, no heritage, no long-time colleagues – nothing.
I am alone.
“…”
This is an ordinary day in 21st century Korea.
A moment of natural life where no miracles, gods, or demons are visible.
So this situation was extremely awkward.
It would have been more natural if dozens of zombies came out as soon as I opened the door.
“Haa, what is this? No, hotel. If you’re going to do something, give me a hint -”
The moment you raise your head in annoyance.
I saw it.
I saw it.
…
The sight of ‘light’ coming down from the sky!
