“User: Han Ga-in (Jihye)
Date: Day 0
Current location: #203, Singil Apartment, Seocho 3-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul
Wise Man’s Advice: 3”
– Han Ga-in
The first thing to check is whether there are blessings and heritage.
According to what I heard from Ari and her grandfather in the past, it was different for each person as to what they could keep after escaping, the blessing or the legacy.
There is a hypothesis that it depends on the escape method, but it is not certain, so you have to check it yourself.
In the case of blessings, fortunately, I found a status window glowing dimly in the corner of my vision.
Blurry?
“You can’t see it very well? Isn’t that right, Peroya?”
— Beep!
It’s blurry, as if the writing was done with a pen that was out of ink.
I looked in the mirror because I wanted to check out my other abilities.
Indeed, it was not easy to see the potential that ‘Insight’ showed me.
It’s not that the blessing has completely disappeared, or that it’s 100% gone, it’s just that it’s weakened.
What does it mean?
If it were inside a hotel, you would think it would be a unique ‘balance patch’, but this is not a hotel.
Should game operators care about balance in the ‘outside the game’ world?
“…”
There must be another reason.
As I recall the events of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, one simple possibility comes to mind.
The source of blessings is ‘sponsors.’
I am now very distant from my sponsor, whether in a physical or supernatural sense.
As we move away, the blessings become weaker?
then….
Find a ‘hotel’ somewhere in reality and get close to it to recover?
Wrote some advice.
“Advice: 3 -> 1”
“ah.”
There were only two questions, but you really asked two questions. How rude!
First question, is it true that the blessings have weakened because they have moved away from the real hotel?
“I got half of it right. I can’t tell you the other half right now.”
Second question, if I find a hotel somewhere in reality, can I restore the power of blessing?
“You got half of it right. I can’t tell you the other half right now.”
“no….”
What? Both answers are the same?
Why did you have to forget two stacks of advice while doing this? That’s too rude.
“Why is this so fatal – this is not asking for advice.”
…
Looking for a hotel?
I know of two routes.
First, the first floor of the hotel is somewhere in the sky of Korea. I remember the approximate location.
Second, the second floor of the hotel is the interior of a snow globe inside the house of a boy named ‘Kim Min-young’.
“Hmm… .”
Flying somewhere in the sky is a somewhat risky choice considering the existence of the ‘Management Bureau’.
On the other hand, the route to infiltrate the snow globe is simply finding out where Min-yeong lives.
“…”
It was such a long time ago that I couldn’t quite remember Minyoung’s appearance.
However, the only thing that came to mind was the shocking memory of the boy writing 8 x 8 as 88.
“But Minyoung was healthy. As long as she’s healthy, that’s all that matters.”
I hope you can at least do multiplication by now.
*
There was no direct weakening of the legacy, like a blessing.
There were no problems with the Book of Incarnation, and even ‘Serena’s Enlightenment’, which was recorded in its own way within No. 207, remained intact.
‘Only I know that I am the truth.’
“… thanks.”
It’s a useful skill, so there will be times when I will use it.
In the case of the sacred sun, only about 10% of its power remained.
I think I’ve wasted a fair amount of time on the flight and the collision with Aidia inside Room 207, and I’ve also wasted a lot of time on splitting myself up and recovering.
This is also not a weakening of the heritage itself.
The gun is intact, but there is only one bullet left.
Should I think about how to charge it?
Let’s think about this part little by little.
— Beep! Beep! Pitter-patter!
Ferro flying around here and there as if he was frustrated.
The hotel was as spacious as it was splendid.
For Pero, who is accustomed to such an environment, ‘Seocho 3-dong Singil Apartment #203’ seems cramped.
Of course, in my opinion, it was big enough for a man to live alone.
“Since it’s Seocho-dong, the price will probably be quite high.”
There’s no way a parrot would know the price of a house in Seocho-dong.
“Do you want to go out together?”
— Beep!
“Usually, parrots need to wear a harness when they go for a walk.”
Pero tilts his head, not knowing the word ‘harness’.
“I’ll tie you up tight with a tight rope – Whew! Don’t bite! Don’t bite!”
Just before leaving, I checked my ‘understanding of the scenario’ for the first time in a while just in case.
“There’s no response at all.”
Not responding at all seems to be a different problem from the weakening of the blessing.
Could it be because there is no ‘scenario’ in progress?
The merchant told me to just take it easy for the first six months.
“Okay. Let’s play.”
*
The accident happened as soon as I left the apartment.
— Jiiing!
“Whoa! What the fuck, eww!”
– Beep!
“Watch out! Dodge! No, shit, why are you aiming so fast!”
– Pretty much!
“Oh! Sorry!”
— Boom!
Are you crazy!
Who would have thought that a laser turret would burn Ferro to death!
I ended up having to kick the laser turret and half break it.
“Oh my! Student! What are you doing!”
Of course, the apartment security guard came running.
“I’m sorry. This, this thing was trying to attack my parrot… .”
“Were you raising a parrot?”
“… yes.”
“Did you get it from an aviary or something? Didn’t you get any explanation when you got it?”
“…”
“When raising a pet bird, you should put an identification bracelet on its ankle!”
“…”
“How ignorant!”
Fortunately, the laser turret wasn’t completely broken or anything, but it looked like he was going to be scolded by the guards for a while.
So I just ran.
“Hey! Student! Where are you going! That guy!”
Are you running away because you don’t want to get in trouble?
Even so, you have to return home someday, and when you do, there’s security.
What kind of elementary school-like behavior is this!
I can be like this.
Because I used ‘dream’ to make a wish.
※ Common sense of the strange world
Security systems are installed throughout to intercept predatory pigeons.
The system cannot distinguish between ‘pet birds’ and ‘predatory pigeons’, so pet birds must be fitted with identification bracelets.
*
Ferro was forced to breathe outside air in a cardboard box much smaller than his home.
Perhaps because of the shock of having one of its wings burned by the laser turret, Pero also entered the box without a hitch.
It may be surprising, but my identity was literally made perfectly.
The name written on her resident registration card is ‘Han Ga-in’ and she is 23 years old.
Family relationships were somewhat bitter.
He is an only child, and his parents died in an accident.
In the process, I inherited a lot of heritage.
“…”
I did not wish for the resurrection of my family.
Instead, I made a different wish.
It’s okay.
It was really good.
It’s a background where you can spend a lot of money freely without anyone interfering, right?
It’s perfect for playing and eating.
All I have to do is spend 6 months enjoying the life of a S-class freeloader.
I walked along the road.
As I passed Seocho Station and walked around the Supreme Court, I saw people protesting, as usual, saying things like the judge had taken bribes.
Additionally, court employees were seen going to work as if nothing had happened.
It is a familiar cityscape where 10 million people gather together, but everyone lives in their own area.
“…”
I walked around the downtown area for hours with my face exposed.
I didn’t do any disguising at all, but no one recognized me.
Isn’t it natural that the general public wouldn’t know what happened at the hotel?
No way!
At the time of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, didn’t he temporarily come out into reality and cause all kinds of chaos?
A strange encounter with Ichthus.
Clash with the ‘self-proclaimed god’ Apollyon!
My appearance doesn’t change when I descend, and the Bureau found out what I looked like at the time.
“…”
I still don’t feel like there are any eyes watching me.
The power of ‘dream’ was this powerful.
How are my other colleagues living?
Like me, my colleagues must have achieved what they wanted through their ‘dreams’.
Interestingly enough, not all of them used dreams.
…
Towards evening, this thought occurred to me.
“It’s not fun.”
No family, no friends.
A world where no one I know exists.
I missed my colleagues.
“Advice: 1 -> 0”
‘Is it okay if I meet my colleagues?’
“The management office, don’t approach first.”
The answer to Ari and Grandpa is that I should not approach them first.
If you flip it over, it means you can approach other people.
“Colleague location information (*)”
Fortunately, this feature worked pretty well.
As it happened, there was someone nearby.
*
Hotel Delight is said to be one of the top three hotels in South Korea.
“Is there no such thing as Shilla Hotel?”
I was a little shocked that the Shilla Hotel wasn’t on the list of the so-called top three hotels, but I guess there’s no need to be surprised by such minor changes.
Anyway, I couldn’t help but be impressed by the sight of the hotel standing so magnificently in the middle of Yeouido.
I waited in a comfortable chair in a lobby where many people were coming and going.
Soon, the person I was waiting for appeared.
I was about to raise my hand to say hello, but I stopped myself.
Because there were too many people around.
Just then, ‘she’ was seen boarding the elevator with only one secretary.
It’s finally time to use the ‘teleportation tattoo’!
“Ugh!”
*
— Thud!
Successfully moved inside the elevator!
I was worried that I might fail to ‘aim’ since it was my first time writing in a long time, but fortunately that didn’t happen –
“Whoa!”
“ah -”
“Whoa! Be, be, ring the bell!”
“Oh really! Seung-ah, stop!”
“Hey, Director!”
“Stop!”
“…”
There was about 5 seconds of chaos.
That’s because the secretary who was next to Eunsol almost fainted when she saw me suddenly appear.
In the end, my older sister had to sigh and use ‘Hojopmong’ to put me to sleep.
“… The secretary is really shy.”
“Seung-ah isn’t the problem, you’re the problem! I was just going to call you after finishing the meeting because you were just sitting there in the lobby, but what the hell are you doing?”
Sister, you saw me too.
“For a slightly more pleasant meeting… .”
Eunsol, who had been laughing as if she couldn’t believe it, eventually burst out laughing.
“What are you holding?”
“It’s the box with Pero in it. Pero, hello!”
— Beep!
“Hey, sis, I heard you’re famous on the internet?”
“…”
“Founder of the world-class 5-star hotel Delight, one of the 23 young leaders leading Korean society selected by xx Daily in 2022 -”
“That, that’s enough.”
Eunsol’s wish that came true through her ‘dream’ was to become the owner of ‘Hotel Delight’.
I didn’t intend to make a big deal about it, so I just asked one question.
“Are you satisfied?”
“… okay.”
“I, um, thought you were going to bring back the Ocean Group itself.”
“Would it have been possible? As you may have realized the moment you wrote it, ‘dreams’ have clearer limitations than you might think. Summoning one of the world’s greatest conglomerates requires an enormous amount of reality manipulation.”
“I think they would have made it even if it was on a smaller scale.”
“That’s true.”
A moment of silence.
Soon, Eunsol answered.
“I didn’t wish for my parents’ resurrection.”
“…”
“I didn’t even want my brothers and sisters to come back. Yes. I didn’t want my family to come back.”
“…I understand.”
This is a story that was briefly mentioned in the past when we were doing issue 101.
The family relations of the chairman of the Ocean Group were in ruins itself.
“But, I admit one thing. I didn’t establish the Ocean Group. My grandfather established it, and my father raised it.”
“…”
“Comparing my brothers, my older brother, especially my eldest brother, contributed more than me.”
Regardless of his ability, the contribution of his brother, who was born and grew up before Eun-sol, to the group is greater.
“You say you don’t like family and won’t revive them, but you only bring out the ‘results’ that your family has worked hard for and monopolize them… I hated it so much.”
It’s a psychology that I can vaguely understand.
“That’s why I only returned the hotel. Hotel Delight was a business I led. I practically raised it.”
During our conversation, I noticed that both of my sister’s eyes were fine.
“Huh? Sister, your eyes are -”
“Now both of them have the eyes of a normal person?”
The eyes of the monocular telescope rented by the hotel cannot be used outside the hotel.
Also, there is no way to restore a person’s eyesight ‘inside’ the hotel.
This is not inside the hotel.
“How did you do it?”
“This was also part of an empty wish that turned into a dream. Of course, Ari said that if she came to the management office, they would at least fix her eyes….”
“But?”
“Wouldn’t the hotel be better than the management? And I didn’t want to be indebted to the management.”
“…”
“Isn’t it awkward? Arirang Mukseong Grandfather must have returned to the management office. The management office must have known about our return by now.”
“Maybe.”
“It’s awkward. I don’t know how they’ll feel about us. That’s why I don’t want to be indebted to them.”
“I understand.”
“How about you? Have you been contacted by the administration? You’d be the person they’d be most wary of.”
“You probably don’t know me very well.”
“what?”
“Even if Ari and Grandfather report on me, for some unknown reason, the documents regarding ‘Han Ga-in’ will disappear and the person who received the report will forget about it.”
“…”
“I made a wish. I wish no one would remember me except my colleagues!”
The moment I was about to close my eyes tightly, waiting for additional questions.
Suddenly my sister grabbed my arm.
“Why is that? If you have any questions -”
“24th floor!”
“yes?”
“25th floor!”
I looked at the top of the elevator to see what it meant, and saw the number 25th floor.
Soon, it was changed to the 26th floor.
“I guess the conference room is really high up there-”
“No! The conference room is on the 7th floor!”
?
“And this hotel ends at the 21st floor!”
