Sage Advice: 2]
I was very hungry after going hiking.
After dinner was somewhat over, I began to try out my newly acquired tools.
The pen I got, the badge my sister got, and the gloves my grandfather got.
The object with the clearest function was my older sister’s badge.
“Uh! Nu, my sister is gone!”
“Hmm. Since I saw something being touched, I wonder if it has physically disappeared?”
“Grandpa. Do you know where you are touching right now?”
“Uh-huh! It wasn’t intentional.”
The grandfather hurriedly retreated.
The badge’s ability is none other than invisibility.
Does it feel like it symbolizes the power that keeps the hotel neat and tidy even though it is always invisible?
The sister wearing the badge blinked momentarily, and after several checks, we knew the exact conditions.
If you wear the badge and hold your breath, your sister becomes invisible for that period of time.
Everyone was impressed that it was a very useful tool.
The abilities of the gloves my grandfather acquired were somewhat shocking.
“…”
“Does it hurt?”
“From my perspective, I don’t feel anything.”
As soon as the gloves were put on, the grandfather’s hands flew into the air.
The place where the hand should be was just dimly lit, and the glove and hand were floating in the air.
When I held the hand in the air and took off the glove, the hand immediately disappeared and the grandfather’s hand returned to its original position.
“It appears to be some kind of remote hand?”
“This is difficult to control.”
According to the description, it feels as if the arms have become several times longer, but I’m not sure.
“Can it be done this way?”
Grandpa picked up a gun with a remote hand!
Is that really useful? If it were like that, wouldn’t it be possible to aim from behind obstacles?
—bang!
… No matter how I looked at it, the bullet flew in the wrong place.
“Oh my! It’s hard to aim even when shooting a gun. Looks like I need to practice this a lot more.”
Lastly, my pen’s function was strange.
‘A pen that can be used anywhere’
If you draw in the air while thinking, ‘I’m writing in the air!’, the writing will actually be written in the air, and then you’ll say, ‘Erase!’ While thinking about it, I pressed the button on the back of the pen and it was erased.
It was written in the air, on the body, on paper, and even in water, but as the water flowed, the writing flowed down and disappeared.
… Where on earth are you using this?
The two people who didn’t get the tool are looking at us with very envious expressions, but even after getting it, they don’t really know how to use this pen.
The ‘used everywhere’ part seems to be the key to application. Wouldn’t a normal writing instrument show off its original function when writing on something that can’t be written on?
I couldn’t easily come up with an application method.
I think all three will need practice using the tools.
My sister will have to practice holding her breath for a long time, and my grandfather will have to practice consistently so that he can control his remote hand well and use a gun.
Should I at least practice writing faster?
No matter how I looked at it, I thought my tool was the strangest thing.
As I was writing alone in the air, my sister noticed another characteristic.
“It feels like the text is being written from a distance?”
“yes?”
“Usually writing is done with the tip of a pen, right? But, isn’t that because your pen doesn’t produce ink anyway?
In fact, it doesn’t even seem like real writing. “The writing is done at a considerable distance from the tip of the pen.”
I checked it myself. There was actually some space between the tip of the pen and where the text was actually written.
Even, when I became aware of it, I was able to write further. The distance limit is about 1m based on the pen.
…
You can write anywhere, from a distance. One aggressive use method came to mind.
It’s a more useful tool than I thought.
All tools had one thing in common.
Anyone other than the owner could not use special functions. When someone else holds it, my pen is just an ordinary pen, my grandfather’s gloves are just gloves, and my sister’s badge is just a badge.
It was a pen that wrote everywhere only when the owner used it, a remote hand, and a transparent badge.
From the first day, after visiting the sanctuary in the morning, hiking in the evening, and checking the function of the tool at night, I felt sleepy.
The first day of party time has passed.
*
On the morning of the second day, everyone suffered from muscle pain and was unable to do anything.
Everyone was blaming Grandpa every time he passed by, and before we knew it, Grandpa stopped coming out of his room… .
Around lunch time, the people who had received the blessing yesterday woke up one by one.
As soon as we got together, we talked about what had changed in the blessing and what tools we had gained while they were sleeping.
“So, Elena can detect lies, Jincheol has gained regenerative powers, and Ari’s power of suggestion has become somewhat stronger?”
“yes.”
“okay.”
“huh.”
“Can you detect Elena all the time?”
“That’s not true. In fact, wouldn’t it be a very tiring ability to be able to detect it all the time even on a daily basis? I think I can do it for about 10 minutes a day.”
“I’m not going to the cursed room today anyway, so let’s try it out.”
As soon as those words were finished, Elena’s eyes turned ‘golden’.
Everyone looked at Elena with curious eyes.
Let’s start with me first.
“My height is 2M.”
Elena chuckled.
Jincheol continued speaking.
“My weight is 200 kg.”
This time Elena tilted slightly.
“How does it feel? Lightning strikes the moment a lie comes out?”
“I felt this while talking to you two, look at this.”
Elena lightly grasped the table with her hand.
… The corner of the table was crushed.
“Anyway, the moment you hear a lie, you don’t just realize it and end up with it, but you gain a kind of ‘power to punish.’
As soon as the ‘execution’ officially begins, power rises like an active volcano! It doesn’t feel like this, it just feels like you have enough strength to swing your fist hard once or twice.
Would you like to meet Jincheol once? Do you want to test your ‘regenerative power’ as well?”
“… no.”
After seeing the table break, I couldn’t imagine getting hit.
It’s a more powerful force than I thought.
After playing around like that for about 10 minutes, the light disappeared from Elena’s eyes.
“Hyung, shouldn’t you try out your regenerative powers too? Cut off your finger?”
“It seems like there’s really nothing you can’t do. Is regenerative power an ability that really needs to be tested?”
It was difficult to test my brother and Ari’s abilities.
He refused to cut off his finger to test his regenerative powers, and he didn’t want to be hinted at to test his stronger powers.
After demonstrating the newly acquired powers and tools to each other, the next schedule was decided.
High priority itinerary provided by the hotel.
‘Safari of all ages’ for heritage practice!
*
Party time, afternoon of the second day.
The first plan of the day is to go to the underground ‘All Ages Safari’.
What is it?
Just hearing the name didn’t give me a good feeling.
It was also difficult to understand why safari was considered a suitable place to learn how to use heritage.
We’ve talked to each other, but in the end, it seems like it’s a problem that needs to be found in person.
For the first time in a while, the silent elderly man took the lead and spoke.
“Let’s go on safari! Are you going to get an answer by talking about it here? You’ll find out when you go. “Seeing as it is a suitable place for ‘training,’ I don’t think it will be dangerous.”
Is that really true?
This hotel is said to be the Hotel Land of Hope, but it is a place where monster trucks stomp people to death from the beginning.
I think about this every time I go down to the basement, how many rooms are there in this basement?
A hallway with no end in sight. Rooms with no end in sight.
According to what my grandfather, who carefully looked at the structure map, said, the structure of the underground changes every time.
It was the same today.
When I went down to the basement in search of Safari, a room with ‘Safari’ written in very large letters was waiting for me right near the stairs, as if I had been waiting for it.
Apparently, there was another room in this location when I went hiking yesterday… .
I stopped thinking.
Upon entering ‘Safari’, a wide space like an amusement park appeared.
At the entrance was a huge machine that looked like a kiosk.
“How do you use this?”
“It looks like they’re voting?”
I read the explanation on the display.
1. Safari is only open during party times.
2. Inside the safari, there are animals from ‘all times’.
3. The era is randomly determined each time you enter.
4. You can leave at any time. If you die inside, you respawn outside.
…
What if I die inside? These are extremely cruel words, but they seem like ordinary words by hotel standards. Rather, I found myself reassured by the words, ‘There is a resurrection from the outside.’
“Well, it’s funny to come here and argue now, but no matter where you go in this hotel, you’re full of thoughts of killing. Even on safari, it says what happens if you die, as if it’s a given.”
“Well, isn’t it fortunate that they can revive you?”
“Wild boar! Have you even taken out a piece of the star?”
“After I got it, I vaguely knew how to summon it, but I’ve never summoned it before. If I take it out, everyone around me will go crazy, so how do I take it out?”
“Well then, I guess I should give it a try here. Songya!”
Songi naturally flashed her bracelet and approached her brother.
“I’ll give you a bracelet.”
Everyone touched the display, received something roughly similar to an admission ticket, and then headed to the entrance.
There is tension.
Unlike the Curse Room, it seems like even if you die you just go outside. Why am I so nervous?
‘Safari of all times’
What on earth is this strange title?
Entered.

/Select an era.

.

—155 million years ago
1. 2. 3. Let’s begin!/
I fell to the ground feeling dizzy.
what? A few billion years? 155 million years? What on earth?
As soon as I hit the ground, I looked around in surprise and saw that it was dark because it was night.
Is this a wall? I somehow managed to move while touching the huge wall next to me. Should I have bought something like a flashlight?
The next moment, the surroundings became brighter.
…
The time was not night.
It’s just that I was under something so huge.
The moment the ‘giant foot’ I had touched rose into the sky, I ran and ran like crazy!
No, is it really the dinosaur era?
Something like a huge – really huge concrete pillar – flew at me.
Doesn’t it give a warning in the status window?
Come to think of it, safari is a place where you don’t mind dying, right? So nothing appears.
In fact, even if I had warned you, I don’t think it would have meant anything.
—bang!
My entire body flew into the sky and my consciousness became blurred.
…
Oh, that’s a brachiosaurus.
The first death on safari was determined by a single tail slap from a Brachiosaurus.
