Welcome to Dungeon Hotel - Chapter 47

Because my knee joints are precious

I can’t believe I’ve accumulated 100,000p of EXP. There were not even one or two rewards piled up.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

Han Woohyun asked me a question quickly at that time.

It’s clearly he who has been fighting the S-Class monster—.

“I’m okay. Are you not hurt?”

Han Woohyun shook his head. I sighed.

“Boss! Are you okay?! You’ve got an evil aura. Let go of the evil energy!”

Geumdong walked towards me and shouted while scattering pink crystals.

“Ack. What is this?”

“This is Himalayan pink salt!”

“Ha… I’m okay. So will you please stop?”

Geumdong stopped sprinkling salt with a tearful face.

“No, more than that, what we just saw….”

I looked at Han Woohyun with a trembling face.

Han Woohyun nodded.

“It’s an S-Class monster. It seems to have become stronger due to the dimensional rift. This would hardly happen in a cleared dungeon….”

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 Woohyun’s warm hand made me cry a little.

“B, b, boss…!”

“Boss…!”

Toto and Geumdong made surprised faces. I was embarrassed and quickly covered my face.

“I’m going to wash up, so can you wait a minute? Geumdong, please help the VIP guest to check in.”

“Yes… I will… but boss…”

I went into the staff quarters without listening to any further words.

It’s 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 ‘sacrifice’ and ‘salvation’ 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 ‘sacrifice’ or ‘salvation’ 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 couldn’t get into the hotel because even S-Class monsters couldn’t get in, but I really thought I didn’t 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.

Let’s get rid of that red mark that keeps shining in front of us.

“Receive my reward.”

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.

It’s 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), Hotelier’s Eye (A), Global Communication (C)

Stats: Stamina 16 Strength 13 Agility 15 Intelligence 20 Luck 28

Remaining Stats: 34

Level 30!

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 ‘elevator’ is operated by the authority of the ‘2-star hotel owner’.

Hotel facilities: A ‘lounge’ is created by the authority of the ‘2-star hotel owner’.

Elevator…? Lounge…?

While I was wondering, something turned white before my eyes and came into my hand.

Item: A is given to the ‘2-Star Hotel Owner’.

A thick book with a navy blue cover appeared in my hand.

The cover was written in a language I didn’t understand, but I was reading the language naturally before I knew it, perhaps because of my skill called ‘global communication’.

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.

“Uh…”

While Han Woohyun hesitated, I glanced at the elevator door behind him and widened my eyes.

“That…”

I walked towards it.

Elevator doors appeared where the revolving doors were.

And that wasn’t 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.

“Then, where did the revolving door go?”

Why can’t 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.

“What is this?”

“I don’t know either. I’ll have to check it out.”

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.

“Let’s go together.”

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 ‘Guide to Hotel Facilities’ in the second chapter.

I heard Han Woohyun asking from behind.

“What did this writing say?”

It seemed that Han Woohyun couldn’t read it.

Instead of answering him, I searched for the ‘elevator’ manual by following alphabetical order in an unknown language. These words were written there.

—Hotel 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 ‘Hotel Manager’….

You have been identified as a ‘Hotel Manager’. Where would you like to go?

First, I go to the nearest place.

“The lounge.”

Nice to meet you, Hotel Manager-nim.

Go up to the ‘lounge’.

The arrow on the instrument panel moved and pointed to the lounge.

Ding!

Soon the door opened with a cheerful sound.

I couldn’t be more comfortable with a guidebook.

When the door opened, Geumdong and Toto with bright faces greeted me.

“Boss! There’s a lounge in the hotel! The cafeteria has expanded!”

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.

“This is also an E-Class…?”

Han Woohyun murmured as if he was a little dumbfounded.

That’s what I want to say.

This hotel is really a great place.

“What on earth is this hotel….”

Toto approached me as I was looking surprised and said with a faint smile.

“Didn’t I tell you that the hotel will ‘evolve’ soon? It’s faster than I expected… but the boss is the perfect person for this hotel.”

What do you mean to evolve?

I think the scale is a bit bigger than I thought.

More than that—.

“Does this hotel also exist in other places?”

“Yes?”

Toto looked surprised.

I pointed to the words ‘managers’ in the guidebook.

“Isn’t that what they mean?”

“Uhm… Rather than that… ‘There was’.”

There was?

I frowned slightly at the nuance of the words.

“But it wasn’t on Earth, but in another dimension. It was in the very distant past.”

“Then did the person who made this hotel also make this guidebook? Where is that person?”

I pointed to the guide and asked. Then Toto shook her head.

“That person is already dead. As the place became unstable… we actually didn’t see the end of that person properly.”

Toto made a more painful expression.

“The person who founded this hotel really wanted to find a new boss on an undefiled planet. That’s probably why they sent us here. I’m sorry, boss. I should have told you this sooner, but if Geumdong said this, the boss might run away!”

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.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. I won’t run away anymore.”

I raised Toto up.

It was good to be given a guide, but it was a little disappointing that I couldn’t meet the hotel’s 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 didn’t understand Toto’s words.

“I think I heard the words ‘salvation’ and ‘sacrifice’ from that monster earlier. But isn’t that… similar to the doctrine that ‘witnesses of salvation’ say?”

I just thought of it.

Where did I hear the words ‘salvation’ and ‘sacrifice’?

The two words were certainly frequently mentioned in the doctrine of ‘witness of salvation’ which is talked about like conspiracy theories on the Internet.
