Current Location: Tier 1, Room 105 (Room of Rest)
Sage Advice: 3]
The box Ari brought was still sealed.
“I’m sorry, but I haven’t opened the box yet. I heard there could be a ‘violent weapon’. Wouldn’t it be better to open it together in a safe room?”
“Good idea. “It would be better if I opened it.”
Immediately Jincheol held out his hand and took the box. Just like me, you probably felt uncomfortable all night long. You probably want to do something now.
The box opened easily.
Inside was a very familiar object.
“Is it a gun?”
“It’s a gun?”
“No, it’s too ordinary?”
With a bewildered expression, my brother took out a pistol.
“no. Of course, a pistol is a good weapon, but what are you doing by giving me something like this? There’s really no way to get bullets! “Sister, just in case, I’m asking, do you sell bullets on the HP Market?”
“Have you seen Coupang sell bullets? I’m also shocked. I’m afraid it’s a magazine. “Do you have any bullets?”
—widely
“and! Aren’t these guys pure scammers? Not a single bullet was fired! No, they cut off the child’s limbs and-”
“Now, you two, please be quiet for a moment. “There is a manual below.”
As Ari said, there was a small manual under the pistol. The content was also extremely simple.
Filling the magazine with blood produces bullets.
…
“Everyone here is just a pervert. “Do we really need to give them something like a blood-drinking gun?”
“Well, it’s still a gun that has a way to fill bullets. “Let’s try an experiment.”
The moment Ari takes out the ‘syringe’ that he showed me last time-
Jincheol took it away.
“Let’s just use someone else’s blood.”
Ari didn’t bother to stop him, and Jincheol drew out all the blood and put it into the magazine.
“hmm. But if you draw blood from so many people with a syringe, there are hygiene issues. Of course, we are not transfusing this blood to anyone.”
“…”
“are you okay. “The syringes will be sold at HP Market.”
“Now that I remember that, I have to buy it right away. Everyone is working. “I’m going to order a syringe.”
Was it about a minute after I pushed the magazine into the gun, which was soaked in blood and starting to smell horribly?
Suddenly, it took off! There was a sound.
“What do you think happened? “I’ll take a shot.”
—-bang!
The unmistakable power of the gun. One blow left a clear mark on the wall.
Now it feels like we have a proper weapon in our hands.
Of course, there was a ‘bracelet’, which was a high-class piece of equipment that could not be compared to that gun, but the bracelet was not specialized equipment for combat. It doesn’t have direct lethal force.
For the first time in a while, I achieved some useful results at the hotel. Everyone ate in a happy atmosphere, fired a gun or two more shots, and spent time laughing and talking.
After lunch, we decided to go to the next room and everyone dispersed to their respective spaces.

Eunsol Lee walked towards the bed.
It hurts quite a bit. In front of everyone, it seems like it’s no big deal, and my hands actually move well.
The pain has not completely disappeared. Still, this is bearable.
I ate breakfast, and decided to continue exploring the next room after lunch, so I’ll just rest until lunch. I think about this sometimes, but it seems like the break time itself has increased since I moved into the hotel.
It seems like I was so overworked that I rarely slept more than 5 or 6 hours a day. After coming to the hotel, the number of days I ate well and slept well increased.
As I rolled over in bed and turned my head, I saw a small piece of paper.
Oh, you didn’t throw it away. It would have been troublesome if someone had come to the bed and discovered it during mealtime when we were sharing space.
A piece of paper. A piece carefully cut from the bottom of the ‘secret letter’ with a knife.
I had a hard time cutting it out as discreetly as possible. Still, everyone was worried that they might get caught, so they put it away as soon as they saw it. Fortunately, no one noticed.
Just before processing, I looked at the piece of paper one last time.
3. One of your colleagues knows about escape route 1.
After tearing the pieces as finely as possible, I put them in the toilet and flushed them.

After lunch, when everyone was energized and headed to the first floor hallway to explore a new room, they realized something strange had happened.
“uh? What is that? “I thought there was a door?”
“I see there’s a door to room 107? “Is it possible to challenge that ‘gateway’?”
“It’s strange. Room 106 hasn’t even entered yet? Aria. “Do you know anything?”
“I don’t know. I understand that the conditions of the gateway room are different every time. “Sometimes you can try just escaping from another room, and sometimes you have to make several final solutions.”
“Let’s go to room 107 first. It looks like you can go to room 107 even if you ignore room 106… .”
After thinking about it for a while, I went to the front.
“Let me just grab the doorknob. If you’re lucky, the ‘advice’ might tell you something.”
The moment I carefully approach and grab the door handle.
Apart from the ‘advice of the wise’, a ‘to everyone’ notification appeared.
/warning!
The Gate Room requires you to pass multiple trials without resting, and is extremely difficult.
Minimum conditions: Escape all cursed rooms and obtain at least one legacy.
Recommended conditions: Obtain 2 or more legacies.
…
…
…
Participants can attempt if they meet the minimum requirements, but it is not recommended.
Would you like to try?/
I backed off right away. Seungyeop responded right away.
“It feels like a real game. The conditions for entering the dungeon are that you must have escaped all cursed rooms and obtained only one legacy. However, it is difficult to pass at this level, and you must obtain at least two legacies.”
“I don’t think I usually give you this kind of guidance.”
“Seeing as they openly say ‘extremely difficult,’ it seems like they are warning you that you will never be able to beat it if you go without preparation. Let’s hold off for now. As warned, I think you should try this after collecting at least two legacies.”
“There is one strange thing. The minimum condition is ‘escape from all cursed rooms,’ but room 103, which is the final solution, is a higher concept than escaping, so of course it is included, but room 106 has not been included yet.”
“Rather than saying it’s strange, it’s clear. “Room 106 is not the cursed room.”
“First, let’s go to our refreshment table and sort out the situation. “I’m old and my knees hurt.”
*
“First of all, shouldn’t we go to room 106? If it’s not a room of curses or a room of rest, what is it? Is it safe since it’s not a cursed room? “What do you think?”
“well. I don’t think there’s any guarantee that it’s safe just because it’s not a cursed room. “There are a lot of dangerous things underground, but it’s not like it’s a cursed room.”
“Gain, first of all, organize the state of the room using the geographical information.”
I checked the terrain information in the status window.
No. 101: Cursed Room (Strange Family) – Escape
Room 102: Room of Curse (Mansion of Horror) – Escape
No. 103: Chamber of Curse (Athanasia’s Human Ranch) – Solved
Room 104: Room of the Curse (prestigious hotel high school for entrance exams) – Escape
Room 105: Room of rest
Room 106: ???
Room 107: Gate Room – Entry possible
“Room 107 has also appeared. Although we all know that ‘Gateway Room – Entry is possible’.”
“First of all, we need to do two major things regarding the first floor. First, retry one or more of No. 101, No. 102, and No. 104 to obtain a legacy. Second, check room 106.”
“Let’s start with the second. The first one is just too hard to listen to.”
“OK. Let’s check from room 106. As for another ‘solution attempt’ after issue 103, I think we need to take a break and thoroughly organize our strengths, check the information we have, and thoroughly plan a strategy before attempting it. “I have a lot of ideas that come to mind, so let’s check them out first and proceed from number 106.”
Two objectives to deal with on the ground floor at this point.
First, obtain at least one inheritance.
Second, find out the identity of room 106, not the cursed room.
We decided to proceed from the second goal.
Everyone got up from the table and headed to room 106.
As expected, I grabbed the door handle first, but no notification came up. Although it is ‘advice’ with many weaknesses, at least it means that a crisis will not occur as soon as you open it.
We opened the door and everyone went in together.

/Welcome customers to Hotel Land of Hope!
Hotel Land is full of fun amusement facilities.
From now on, customers can experience 7 types of amusement facilities!
It is said that if there is a survivor even after experiencing all 7 types of amusement facilities, an amazing reward awaits?
However, Hotel Land’s participation is not mandatory. You can still go out. Like the Cursed Room, if there are survivors who make it to the end, those who have died up to that point will be revived.
# Mission Room: Would you like to start Hotel Land of Hope?/
…
Silence for understanding filled the room.
“So, if you go through seven different amusement facilities in order and pass, there is a reward? But what kind of ‘Hotel Land of Hope’ did they proudly add ‘in case there are survivors’? As if they were going to kill me outright. Ga-in, can you check the room information through the status window?”
/Room 106: Mission Room – Hotel Land of Hope/
“It’s called the Mission Room and the Hotel Land of Hope. Looking at the notice, it seems that participation in this room is not mandatory. So, even though I didn’t enter room 106, the gateway room in room 107 was activated. “I think I can still get out.”
“Actually, there’s still a door here. “Usually the space changes as soon as you come in.”
“I think it’s time to make a decision. Do you plan to proceed further?”
What should I do?
I have tried many cursed rooms so far, but this is the first time that there is a choice in the attempt itself like in Room 106. Even if you just ignore room 106, the gateway room has been activated. In the end, doesn’t this mean that you can leave the hotel even if you ignore it until the end?
“I think it’s the same. Is there any need to take risks by breaking a room that doesn’t need to be broken? You may think, or you may think that you should try to improve your specs, even if only because of the ‘amazing rewards’. In my opinion, there is no point in worrying endlessly. “Let’s just decide by majority vote.”
In the first place, ‘what the reward was’ was unclear, so it was difficult to logically compare risks and benefits. However, I have a vague feeling that the ‘compensation’ is not a legacy. Wouldn’t there be a different type of reward than ‘Room of the Curse’?
The result of the majority vote was more one-sided than expected. Except for Elena, everyone chose to take on the challenge. After staying in this hotel for several weeks, dying and being resurrected countless times, we had long since come to think less of the risk of death, and our expectations of ‘reward’ had grown.
How do you make your challenge known?
There was no need to worry. As the hotel is always ‘watching’ us, we all stood up and walked towards the front, and a notification naturally popped up.
/Hotel Land of Hope! The challenge begins.
Real World Bumper Cars
One! 2! 3! start!/
Real world bumper cars? What title is this?
*
When space fluctuates and the situation around us changes
I understood the meaning of that crazy title!
Everyone appeared in their cars at a huge stadium that was about three times larger than a soccer field.
no? Several of us don’t even know how to drive a car, so why did we each give it a ride?
———Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!!!!!
A noise that shakes the heavens and earth.
I was surprised and looked at the middle of the stadium –
There was a monster truck the size of a house.
No… match the car’s weight class and order a bumper car!
