[Warning. An unknown error has occurred.] [Resetting the gate.]Again. Exactly for the third time.
The cause was unknown but somehow─.
‘I’m trapped.’
Eun Ha calmly accepted that fact. She had already noticed that this gate was somehow different from the ones she had cleared before.

In the case of a typical gate, a boss monster appears after a certain number of monsters are killed. Then, if you get the core that the boss monster holds, the gate is closed. That was the typical way to conquer a gate.
But this gate was different.
No matter how many monsters were killed, the boss monster did not appear, and rather, the killed monsters were respawned, that is, regenerated.
There was no way to conquer it.
‘If you don’t want to die, then kill.’
It seemed as if the gate was saying that.
Eun Ha moved her faltering steps to find a place to rest, if only for a moment. There will be a little time until the next battle.
Her left rib area, scratched by sharp claws, was numb. She had to hurry to stop the bleeding.
Having found a suitable spot, Eun Ha examined the backpack she had on her shoulder. It was the backpack that Lee Jun had dropped. There must be something useful.
Lee Jun had meticulous and careful traits. Not only water bottles and emergency food but also spare shoes and underwear; he was often teased by Eun Ha, saying, ‘Are you going camping or something?’

“……As expected.”
While rummaging through the bag, Eun Ha discovered an emergency medical kit and let out a soft chuckle.
It was thoughtfully filled with essential medical supplies, including the allpurpose medicine known as ‘red medicine,’ sterile gauze, bandages, saline solution, tweezers, scissors, and more.
His attention to detail was very helpful at times like this. Like now.
Eun Ha disinfected the wound and then began to stitch the wound’s entrance with medical thread and a needle.
She was not as skilled as a professional but fairly adept. It was possible because she was a hunter who had come close to death countless times over three years.
“Ouch.”
Eun Ha bit her lower lip hard. She never got used to this excruciating pain, even after three years.
Having roughly completed the first aid, Eun Ha looked around.
‘……I’m thirsty.’

The inside of the gate resembled an ordinary cave.
Stalactites hung from the ceiling, and transparent water droplets were seen falling from their ends.
Eun Ha opened the lid of a water bottle and placed it where the droplets fell.
In the case of ingredients, if you cook them well, assuming there’s no poison, you can eat them.
But water was not so. If you got food poisoning, it was game over. She needed to check first if it did not discolor over time.
‘The food is also a problem.’
There were only two packs of emergency rations in Lee Jun’s backpack. An absurdly small amount.
After placing the water bottle on the floor, Eun Ha checked the remaining backpacks. They belonged to dead comrades. Most were torn and eaten by monsters with the flesh, and only a few backpacks remained intact.
While going through them one by one, Eun Ha’s fingertips touched paper.
‘My girlfriend. Pretty?’

It was a picture of a girlfriend a colleague had proudly boasted about, claiming to have dated since middle school.
In the picture, where brown bloodstains spread like paint, the girlfriend was still smiling lovingly.
“…….”
Eun Ha put it back into the backpack and rummaged through another bag.
An amulet that a colleague who often talked about his father had handed him just before being drafted.
Almost usedup sunscreen. This must be Hye Joo’s. A kind girl who always carefully applied sunscreen to her colleagues’ hands before training.
The last thing Eun Ha discovered was a TOEIC workbook that a colleague, who had vowed to quit hunting and find a new life, always carried.
“Even bringing this to the mission place…….”
If she had known earlier that he was carrying such a useless thing, she would have scolded him.
But now she couldn’t.

Because even if she did, they wouldn’t be able to hear her.
Eun Ha slowly rose from her place with a deeply sunken face.
Dying in a desperate fight with monsters was what she had wanted, but dying a pathetic death from starvation was out of the question.
Here, where her comrades had died, she had to tear the tigers apart proudly in front of them.
To do that, she must eat first.
And she must live.
‘One would think there would at least be mushrooms or moss in a cave.’
There was no time to wait for the wounds to heal. This place was not a hospital room but literally a death ground.
Cha Eun Ha got up from her spot and decided to explore the surroundings, but unfortunately, she couldn’t find anything that could serve as food.
Ding!
After a moment of silence, the notification sound rang again. A blue message window appeared before her eyes soon.

When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
Trigger warning: All men in this novel are yandere style.
