  [User: Han Ga-in (Wisdom) Date: Day 1

  Current location: Tier 1, Room 105 (Room of Rest)

  Wise Man's Advice: 2]

  As we headed towards the restaurant, there were already three people sitting there, excluding Eunsol and me.

  A boy who looked much younger than me, probably around middle school age.

  A cute girl who looks to be around my age, fidgeting and looking around.

  and......

  A foreigner with an unbelievable appearance that I have never seen before.

  I'm not kidding, I feel like I've been hit by something when I see someone.

  Blonde hair flowing from shoulders that look like melted gold, eyes that look like they were engraved with emeralds.

  I was speechless when I saw that body part that probably had a lot of good intentions in it.

  Aren't people like this only in the movies?

  5 seconds? I was just staring bnkly for that long, and the other person ughed awkwardly, and only then did I realize that I had made a huge mistake.

  I lowered my head in embarrassment and went to sit down at the dining table. I had to apologize somehow. I forced myself to come up with an English sentence.

  “I'm so sorry, but...”

  “It’s okay. I’ve lived in Korea for six years, so I speak Korean well. I’m neither American nor British to begin with.”

  “Ah. I’m sorry......”

  “You’re lying in bed? Are you okay? Are you hurt or something?”

  “No, I’m not. I was just tired and wanted to close my eyes, so I fell asleep.”

  “We’ve all been through some tiring things together… It’s the first time in my life that something this strange has happened.

  “Thank you for calling out to me to come to room 105 earlier.”

  “Oh, no. When I got there, that big, well-built guy was already blocking it very well.”

  “It’s true, Mr. Jincheol saved us. I’ll have to thank you again when we meet again. My name is Elena Ivanova. You can just call me Elena. What about you?”

  “My name is Han Ga-in. Well, I think we should all share our names first. I think others have already done so while I was sleeping.”

  “My name is Yoo Song.”

  “My name is Seung-Yeop Park.”

  Click, the door opens, and the man I saw earlier enters the room.

  The arm from which the bleeding was happening was wrapped tightly in a soft cloth that I don't know where I got it.

  As the man approached, I could feel that he had a truly impressive physique.

  At least 190cm tall? Looks taller than that.

  Not only was he tall, his physique was that of an athlete.

  With this level of physical strength, would you be able to fight monsters?

  While I was expressing my admiration, a deep voice flowed out.

  “My name is Cha Jin-cheol. Oh, can I speak more casually? You seem like a student.”

  “It’s okay. You can just call me Gain.”

  “Yeah, yeah. Gain, thank you so much for telling me about this room. Oh, really, those damn monkeys made me sick so badly.

  What kind of beast of a man is this? No matter how many times you hit its head, it doesn't die, and it doesn't even run away.

  “What the hell is this? I didn’t know I would end up like this after catching two monkeys instead of a leopard.”

  I was a little flustered at the moment when he answered coolly and said 'Gain-ah', but I let it be.

  To be honest, I had no intention of picking on such a trivial matter with a person who, just by looking at him, seemed like he would have dreamed of hegemony if he had been born in the Joseon Dynasty!

  And didn't I tell you to speak comfortably first?

  The moment the two of them finished exchanging names, the 'status window' fshed and a change occurred.

  Colleague information(!)

  Wise Man's Advice: 2]

  Colleague information?

  I felt a little familiar with it because I had done it once, so I opened it while keeping an eye on my colleague's information! I thought to myself, "Bme it!" and a new window popped up.

  [1. Han Ga-in (20) - Wisdom 2. Cha Jin-cheol (31) - Courage

  3. Yoo Song-i (17) – Affinity

  4. Elena Ivanova (23) – Justice

  5. Park Seung-yeop (14) - Good luck

  6. Lee Eun-sol (32) - Rich and noble]

  The first thing written is the name. The number written after is the age? But what on earth are the words after that, like wisdom and courage?

  First, to confirm, I spoke to the cute girl who seemed the most comfortable to talk to on the spot.

  “That... Mr. Yoo Song-i, are you 17 years old?”

  “? That’s right. How did you know?”

  “Oh, do you see the number next to the window name? I thought maybe that was the age.”

  As soon as I finished speaking, everyone there, including Yoo Song-i on the other side, looked embarrassed.

  I realized this as I watched people looking at me in the direction I was pointing with puzzled expressions.

  This window is visible only to me.

  “Ah, this is... I guess this is a window that only I can see.”

  “Window? Did you see something unusual in your eyes? You were suddenly mumbling to yourself while looking into space, so I wondered what you were doing. Do you have our ages written on it?”

  “Uh... let me expin.”

  After a bit of conversation, I was told that this strange status window was only visible to me and that it showed the current situation, date, location, etc.

  Given the circumstances, I thought that the things reted to this 'status window' were the true identity of the 'wisdom' that had been mentioned earlier, and soon one or two people began to speak.

  “Wisdom... Since it is a blessing of wisdom, is it only you who is given some knowledge? Actually, I am also receiving something simir.

  “Your window says ‘courage’? I think I know what that is. I think it’s something that makes me a little stronger.”

  “Do you get stronger? How?”

  “Well... I guess I’ll have to wait and see, but I surprised myself a bit while fighting the monkeys earlier.

  I did some weight training, but no matter what, my arms were stretched out in an unbelievable way.

  Besides, even though we fought for over 30 minutes, we didn't get hit that much.

  I think my strength and stamina have improved. Oh, and if you look at my arms, they seem to be recovering better.”

  “Me too... I wonder what I have? I don’t know what affinity is. I can’t see any windows and I have no strength.”

  “I think I know what Songi is.”

  “Did you see something, Eunsol?”

  “When the monkeys attacked earlier, Songi was just lying down next to the tree, right?

  That's why I was so scared, thinking I was going to die... but strangely, the monkeys didn't attack Songi.

  At the time, I thought it was just luck, but now that I think about it, it was probably 'friendship'.”

  “Then, what do I look like to you, sister?”

  “Mr. Seung-yeop... I don’t know. ‘Luck.’ Did anything lucky happen to you?”

  “If I were lucky, I wouldn’t have come to a pce full of such monsters.”

  "I know......"

  “Hmm... First of all, I’m ‘Justice’. I don’t know more. Maybe I’ll gain some power like a Justice Warrior ter on. Eunsol-ssi is ‘Boo-gwi’. Do you get a feeling for what it is?”

  “Well... I don’t know. If you’re just talking about having a lot of money, I’m not someone who doesn’t have money, but given the current atmosphere, I think it’s more about some kind of ability...

  “Do I have the touch of Midas? Whoever I touch turns to gold?”

  As she said that, Eunsol pyfully stroked Songi with her hand, and Songi must have thought it was real because she instantly shrank like a turtle.

  Of course, stroking the flower didn't turn it into gold.

  “What the hell is going on? I wanted to enjoy my life as a high school senior who is said to be the happiest in the world for a few months after taking the college entrance exam.

  “I didn’t know this would happen. There are less than two weeks left until school starts.”

  Sister Eunsol reacted somewhat strangely.

  “School opening? Which foreign university is it?

  “Huh? No, that’s not it. It’s just Korea.”

  “There are universities in Korea that are opening at this time? What kind of universities are they?”

  “Yes? Usually, school starts in early March?”

  Just like before, the surroundings were filled with silence. A heavy voice echoed through the room.

  “I guess... we really have a lot to talk about today. So, Ga-in, you think it’s the start of the new school year now.

  For reference, I came here yesterday as November 24th.”

  “Yesterday was May 3rd... I just finished my midterm exams.”

  “Yesterday was March 9th for me.”

  “I’m May 16th, but I’m curious. What year was ‘yesterday’ for you all? And… judging from how you’re dressed, I guess I should ask about ‘where’ too.”

  In a brief conversation, we were able to confirm a few facts.

  1. The 'date of yesterday' that everyone remembers is different. It is clear that they were 'kidnapped' on different days. 2. The 'pce where they were yesterday' that everyone remembers is also different. Some people, like me, woke up after sleeping in a hotel, while others woke up after sleeping in their own homes.

  What on earth is going on? What happened to us, and what should we do now?

  There was a brief moment of silence. So much information, so full of questions, was swirling around in my head like a storm that I felt like my thoughts were at a standstill.

  Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

  Songi, the owner of the voice, blushed in embarrassment.

  “Ah! Aaaah! Sorry... Sorry. Why all of a sudden...”

  “Heh heh… No, what is there to be sorry about? It’s natural. Actually, I’ve been really hungry since earlier. I exercised hard since this morning.

  Is this the button to call for food? Let's all eat together first. Don't you think you'll feel better after eating something?"

  “Okay. Let’s all eat together first. I wonder what will come out. And ‘how’ it will come out. I wonder if there’s a staff member who will bring the food.”

  “Then, I will press it.”

  Elena, who was sitting next to the button, pressed it, and the button began to fsh red.

  And nothing happened. Everyone waited silently for five minutes, but when nothing changed, Seungyeop sensed a change.

  “Excuse me... Would you all please look at that dispy? What’s been added?”

  Welcome to Hotel Pioneer! Please note the following guidelines. Additional guidelines may be added and can be viewed at any time on the hotel's dispy.

  1. Hotel Pioneer always loves its customers.

  - However, the hotel staff are somewhat shy, so they work diligently when customers are not looking.

  2. Please note that the elevator is broken.

  3. The hotel always protects the privacy of its guests. However, wouldn't it be better to eat together? Please be sure to observe meal times.

  A new phrase has been added under number 1: 'Hotel staff are somewhat shy, so they work diligently when customers are not looking.'

  What on earth is this? I was absentmindedly thinking about it, and then I raised my head and met eyes with Eunsol, who seemed to have had simir thoughts.

  “Sister, I really hope you don’t think so, are you telling us this?”

  “It’s like they’re telling us to leave for a moment. They’re literally saying that we can’t serve food in front of them because it’s ‘embarrassing.’ Isn’t that what they’re saying?”

  Those who finally understood what was being said reacted in disbelief.

  “What kind of restaurant is so embarrassed to see its customers that they can’t serve food in front of them? If they’re that embarrassed, they should just close the restaurant down!”

  “Well, what’s the point of nitpicking now? It’s starting to feel like we’re in some kind of py, and it’s kind of fun. As long as no monsters show up, I think it’s going to be a strange experience.”

  “Elena, you speak Korean really well.”

  “I told you it’s been 6 years? I’m half Korean now.”

  “Well, how about we all go out for a bit? I’m sorry, but I’m really hungry too.”

  “Let’s do that”

  We all stood up and walked out of the restaurant, closed the door, and about 10 seconds ter, opened the door again and went back.

  As Elena said, it feels like we're filming a py.

  As we returned inside the restaurant, small groans escaped everyone's lips.

  Is this some kind of magic school meal that goes between subway stations?

  The entire table is filled with colorful and delicious food.

  It's not exactly a fw, but at first gnce, it's a truly stateless table with food from numerous countries mixed together.

  Some of them were familiar, like spaghetti, steak, and stir-fried pork, but some of them were foods I had never seen before, so it was hard to guess what the ingredients were.

  While everyone was just standing there with their mouths open, Jincheol made a decision.

  “There’s so much food, and when I look at my watch, there’s only about 40 minutes left to eat.

  “Let’s just each take a pte of whatever we want to eat and eat as much as we can. If we eat, we’ll have the energy to talk.”

  Day 1 at Hotel Pioneer. I discovered one of the advantages of this hotel for the first time
