Chapter 1: First Day at the Hotel, Meeting the Crew (1)

Day 1

I was dumbfounded the moment I woke up. Since I was in the middle of a fairly high-expense trip, the hotel was decent and the room was also fairly okay. In other words, it was a good enough room for one man to leisurely go to sleep in a tidy room while watching a movie on the wall-mounted TV.

So where was this place?

The room I woke up in was an unbelievably large and fancy room that would come out in movies. In the first place, this room was definitely not for one person. Rather than a hotel room, it was more like a mansion of the rich on the walls were antique paintings and there was a blanket on the bed that was so luxurious I felt bad for messing it up.

I was once again dumbfounded when I turned on my phone to check the time there was a sign that said there was no reception in this place. While gradually feeling more and more confused, I cursorily washed my face, changed my clothes and left the bedroom and found the display screen of the living room flashing.

What was going on? I felt more and more like I was losing my mind. Supporting my head, I turned to the ceiling when a corner of my vision shook.

[User: Han Kain (Wisdom)

Date: Day 1

Current Location: Floor 1, Room 105 (Room of Rest)

Sages Advice: 3]

Was this the status screen of a game or something? Only at this point did I finally accept the fact that something ridiculous had happened to me.

*

When I went out to the living room that was still inside Room 105, I came across an incredibly large dining table that you would see in movies, and there was a button on the table that read Meal.

Does food come out when you press this button? I was wondering when a sharp scream echoed across. In order to leave the ridiculously large room, I hurriedly ran out and pushed the door wide open.

My chin dropped the moment I arrived at the front desk of the hotel.

Large monkeys? It was a bit strange to call that a monkey though it was standing on 2 legs despite being a monkey and there was a cold weapon on its hand. Rather than normal teeth, it had the teeth of saw blades in its mouth.

They were just monsters and not monkeys.

Around four to five people were being threatened by them. At the left front desk was a group of 2 females including a foreigner that were screaming, not knowing what to do, whereas there was a person fainted near the potted plant on the right. RêAd lateSt chapters at Only

But there was a reason why there was no-one dead despite this hopeless situation.

Terminator?

A stupid remark unconsciously left my mouth as I gazed at the man so bulky that one would mistake him as the terminator. He was fighting with a wooden stick that was presumed to be the leg of a chair. His body was even bigger than the monkey monsters and even the monsters were seemingly out-muscled whenever he swung his club, as they were flung off with each strike.

2. A few of the elevators functions are deactivated, so please take that into consideration.

3. The hotel always respects the privacy of our guests. However, perhaps meals should be shared together?/

It was a situation filled with question marks, with nothing but the announcements of the display screen providing anything similar to information. Concentrating like I have never done before in my life, I read through the sentences.

Privacy.

Did everyone disappear because of this privacy thing? Because I fervently realised that common sense was of no use in this place, I thought as nonsensically as possible. Since a room with 6 people would have no privacy in the slightest, it seemed that everyone would stay in a different dimension in Room 105, and only meet during meal times.

[You have understood a little bit about the hotel.]

A message immediately appeared on the status screen and I gave an empty laugh. It seemed that my absurd hypothesis was actually correct.

Blankly, I headed to the large room that had the dining table. Next to the clock was a timetable showing each of the meal times which respectively began at 7 am, 12 oclock and 7 pm. There was also a notice saying each of the meal times lasted one and half hours.

Right now it was around 10:20, and something would probably happen at 12.

It was an extremely confusing morning. I was seriously exhausted so I headed to the bed and lied down to take a short nap.

Tap. Tap.

Can you please wake up?

Ah. It seemed that I had completely dozed off in that short period of time. I opened my eyes with a flash and saw the noonim* that I saw before. She appeared to be in her mid 30s, and was a tall lady who asserted the atmosphere that she was a well-off lady of the city. However, she had a rather cold atmosphere and it seemed rather difficult to strike a conversation with her.

Umm Thanks for waking me up. What about everyone else?

Well, I thought it was quite absurd but as soon as it became 12 oclock, everyone appeared like we were teleporting or something, and everyone else has gathered at the dining room apart from the two of you. Jinchul-ssi* was injured during the fight just then. We stopped his blood but hes still lying down and you were sleeping so we wondered whether we should wake you up or not, but we should have a little chat, right?

Yes. Even though everything is very strange, I think we still need to talk about it for the time being.

Follow me.

As we were heading to the dining room, she suddenly turned around.

Ah, thanks for what you did before. I thought I was becoming monster food all of a sudden and its thanks to you that I managed to stay alive. Im Lee Eunsol.

Dont worry about it. The termi No, Jinchul-ssi, was it? Hes the one that did everything. My name is Han Kain.

Han Kain? Thats a cute name.

Ahaha I often hear it sounds like a female name.

After a short introduction, Lee Eunsol-noonim smiled and turned back to the front.

*Noonim = Respectful way of calling an older sister, or a woman thats older than a male.

*Ssi = Mister / Miss that comes after a name.
