I canât believe Iâve accumulated 100,000p of EXP. There were not even one or two rewards piled up.
âAre you hurt anywhere?â
Han Woohyun asked me a question quickly at that time.
Itâs clearly he who has been fighting the S-Class monsterâ.
âIâm okay. Are you not hurt?â
Han Woohyun shook his head. I sighed.
âBoss! Are you okay?! Youâve got an evil aura. Let go of the evil energy!â
Geumdong walked towards me and shouted while scattering pink crystals.
âAck. What is this?â
âThis is Himalayan pink salt!â
âHa⊠Iâm okay. So will you please stop?â
Geumdong stopped sprinkling salt with a tearful face.
âNo, more than that, what we just sawâŠ.â
I looked at Han Woohyun with a trembling face.
Han Woohyun nodded.
âItâs an S-Class monster. It seems to have become stronger due to the dimensional rift. This would hardly happen in a cleared dungeonâŠ.â
I felt dizzy.
Han Woohyun was right.
There has never been a time when the boss monster of a cleared dungeon woke up again like this.
At that time, Han Woohyun suddenly grabbed my hand. Then I realized that my hands were shaking.
Without realizing it, Han Woohyunâs warm hand made me cry a little.
âB, b, bossâŠ!â
âBossâŠ!â
Toto and Geumdong made surprised faces. I was embarrassed and quickly covered my face.
âIâm going to wash up, so can you wait a minute? Geumdong, please help the VIP guest to check in.â
âYes⊠I will⊠but bossâŠâ
I went into the staff quarters without listening to any further words.
Itâs an S-Class monster.
I still get chills from the feeling of eerie red eyes moving back and forth in front of my eyes.
Even the words âsacrificeâ and âsalvationâ were more chilling.
Was that some kind of mental attack?
It was a hallucination, but the feeling of Han Woohyun stabbing me was very clear.
Even though my stats were only E-Class, I was definitely wearing items.
But I think I heard words like âsacrificeâ or âsalvationâ somewhere.
I looked down at my trembling hands and decided to stop thinking about it for a moment.
Then I took a hot shower, dried off with a towel, and got out of the shower.
After washing with warm water, the shivering of the body was slightly reduced.
However, fear still surged at the thought of being helplessly defeated by an S-Class monster.
It reminded me of Han Woohyun, who fought against such a huge monster.
Is the difference in power with the S-Class really this big?
It seemed true that monsters couldnât get into the hotel because even S-Class monsters couldnât get in, but I really thought I didnât know what would happen if S-Class villains really did come into our hotel and made a fuss.
I have to be strong right now.
I changed my clothes and sat down to think of the first thing I had to do.
Letâs get rid of that red mark that keeps shining in front of us.
âReceive my reward.â
At the same time as my words, numerous windows came and went in front of my eyes.
Additional EXP and an enormous amount of money have been accumulated.
Currently, I have accumulated a total of 10,000 gold.
Itâs 100 million.
But what was more important than money was level.
Name: Lee Junghyo
Title: Heart Sniper, 2-Star Hotel Owner (NEW!)
Class: Hotel Manager (Hidden) (Lv.30)
Skills: Housekeeping (B), Front Desk (B), Hotelierâs Eye (A), Global Communication (C)
It might have been natural because I entered and came out of an S-Class dungeon, not an A-Class dungeon.
Even ordinary hunters, like myself, have experienced a sudden increase in their grades, thanks to the fact that, as a low-level hunter, I entered a high-level dungeon and luckily survived.
But the owner of a 2-star hotel� What is that?
Hotel facilities: The âelevatorâ is operated by the authority of the â2-star hotel ownerâ.
Hotel facilities: A âloungeâ is created by the authority of the â2-star hotel ownerâ.
Elevator� Lounge�
While I was wondering, something turned white before my eyes and came into my hand.
Item: A <Guide for Managers Running Dungeon Hotels> is given to the â2-Star Hotel Ownerâ.
A thick book with a navy blue cover appeared in my hand.
The cover was written in a language I didnât understand, but I was reading the language naturally before I knew it, perhaps because of my skill called âglobal communicationâ.
A guide for managers who run dungeon hotels.
Wait. Managers?
I jumped up and opened the door to the dorm.
Then, I ran into Han Woohyun, who seemed to be preparing to knock on the door of the accommodation.
âUhâŠâ
While Han Woohyun hesitated, I glanced at the elevator door behind him and widened my eyes.
âThatâŠâ
I walked towards it.
Elevator doors appeared where the revolving doors were.
And that wasnât all.
The concierge desk and cafeteria are also gone.
This place was similar to the original 1st floor only in the interior, but everything except for the desk was gone.
âThen, where did the revolving door go?â
Why canât I see Toto and Geumdong?
It was then.
As if answering my question, the elevator door opened.
Ding! As I was looking at the open door with a cheerful sound, Han Woohyun approached from behind.
âWhat is this?â
âI donât know either. Iâll have to check it out.â
It was indeed nice to hear that there was an elevator.
Because my knee joints are precious.
However, the problem was that there were no things on the first floor of the hotel.
âLetâs go together.â
When I got on the elevator, Han Woohyun got on with me.
Where the number of floors button was supposed to be, there was only a board that said [KEY] instead of the number of floors button, and an instrument panel was attached at the top.
The instrument panel said Ball Room, Lobby, Lounge, 2F, 3F, and now the arrow did not reach any area.
How do I move this? It was when I was thinking.
Oh, right.
I have a guidebook.
I opened the book in my hand.
When I looked at the table of contents, there was a âGuide to Hotel Facilitiesâ in the second chapter.
I heard Han Woohyun asking from behind.
âWhat did this writing say?â
It seemed that Han Woohyun couldnât read it.
Instead of answering him, I searched for the âelevatorâ manual by following alphabetical order in an unknown language. These words were written there.
âHotel managers can stop by every corner of the hotel by elevator.
The master key must be placed on the keyboard to operate the elevator.
I put the master key on the keyboard as instructed by the guide.
Verify the âHotel ManagerââŠ.
You have been identified as a âHotel Managerâ. Where would you like to go?
First, I go to the nearest place.
âThe lounge.â
Nice to meet you, Hotel Manager-nim.
Go up to the âloungeâ.
The arrow on the instrument panel moved and pointed to the lounge.
Ding!
Soon the door opened with a cheerful sound.
I couldnât be more comfortable with a guidebook.
When the door opened, Geumdong and Toto with bright faces greeted me.
âBoss! Thereâs a lounge in the hotel! The cafeteria has expanded!â
Geumdong pointed to a cafe where Geumdong is mainly embedded these days.
Indeed, on the left side of the lounge, which is much higher than the existing first floor, there was a cafeteria with more tables for guests to sit on.
The cafeteria had a window, so you could even see the beautiful beach of Yeongchun.
âThis is also an E-ClassâŠ?â
Han Woohyun murmured as if he was a little dumbfounded.
Thatâs what I want to say.
This hotel is really a great place.
âWhat on earth is this hotelâŠ.â
Toto approached me as I was looking surprised and said with a faint smile.
âDidnât I tell you that the hotel will âevolveâ soon? Itâs faster than I expected⊠but the boss is the perfect person for this hotel.â
What do you mean to evolve?
I think the scale is a bit bigger than I thought.
More than thatâ.
âDoes this hotel also exist in other places?â
âYes?â
Toto looked surprised.
I pointed to the words âmanagersâ in the guidebook.
âIsnât that what they mean?â
âUhm⊠Rather than that⊠âThere wasâ.â
There was?
I frowned slightly at the nuance of the words.
âBut it wasnât on Earth, but in another dimension. It was in the very distant past.â
âThen did the person who made this hotel also make this guidebook? Where is that person?â
I pointed to the guide and asked. Then Toto shook her head.
âThat person is already dead. As the place became unstable⊠we actually didnât see the end of that person properly.â
Toto made a more painful expression.
âThe person who founded this hotel really wanted to find a new boss on an undefiled planet. Thatâs probably why they sent us here. Iâm sorry, boss. I should have told you this sooner, but if Geumdong said this, the boss might run away!â
Toto knelt before me.
D, do I have an image of someone who will run away?
I blushed as I remembered the past when I mistook Geumdong for a bachelor ghost and shook a mop.
âWell, it doesnât matter. I wonât run away anymore.â
I raised Toto up.
It was good to be given a guide, but it was a little disappointing that I couldnât meet the hotelâs founder.
But more than that, there was an urgent matter now.
I looked back at Han Woohyun, who was standing there with a face that didnât understand Totoâs words.
âI think I heard the words âsalvationâ and âsacrificeâ from that monster earlier. But isnât that⊠similar to the doctrine that âwitnesses of salvationâ say?â
I just thought of it.
Where did I hear the words âsalvationâ and âsacrificeâ?
The two words were certainly frequently mentioned in the doctrine of âwitness of salvationâ which is talked about like conspiracy theories on the Internet.
