Owner of the S-Rank Dungeon Campsite (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 10
“Pierce the bell peppers and mushrooms onto the skewers, please. I have a quest to cook food, so I’ll grill the meat.”
“Yes.”
For a while, we silently carried out our assigned roles faithfully.
Hunter Chae Donghwa first sliced the vegetables into pieces suitable for skewering. He neatly threaded them onto the skewers and then placed the remaining vegetables onto the grill.
Given how deeply ingrained his image wielding a greatsword was in my mind, I’d expected him to be a bit clumsy at this, but surprisingly, his hands moved with delicate precision.
I also placed high-quality meat onto the grill. A sizzling sound echoed as the fat rendered.
“Wow! It’s so delicious, Master! You really grill meat well!”
“Really?”
“Yes! It just melts in my mouth!”
Teddy, seated on a log, took a bite and exclaimed in delight. I’d followed the instructions precisely, so I was relieved it suited her taste.
I tossed a piece of meat to the ethereal slimes hovering around the fire.
The pink slime and the blue slime tugged at the meat from opposite sides, fighting over it.
“Aww, you’re too cute. Don’t fight—just eat. I’ll give you another piece.”
I gave one to each, and they munched away noisily.
Finding their behavior adorable, I gently stroked them.
The blue slime was usually fierce and would bite whenever touched, but it allowed contact while eating.
“Eat well and grow slowly. Once you become adults, you won’t be able to stay inside the campsite anymore.”
“Ms. Bom, please have some too.”
While I was deeply absorbed in watching the monsters, Hunter Chae Donghwa placed a properly grilled piece of meat onto my plate.
Slices of onion and garlic were neatly stacked on top.
“Is this part of a quest?”
“Yes.”
I thought so. Apparently, a new quest had appeared in the meantime.
Ever since learning about the existence of campsite quests, Hunter Chae Donghwa had been noticeably kinder to me.
Whenever his kindness felt excessive and I tried to refuse, he’d quickly clarify it was just for a quest, as if to prevent any misunderstanding.
At first, I’d hesitated to accept this S-rank monster meat, feeling burdened.
But when he explained it was to receive my buff, I realized accepting it actually helped him, so I readily took it.
That’s mutual support, isn’t it?
“Thank you.”
I set down my tongs briefly and ate the meat.
The meat was incredibly chewy due to well-developed muscles. Its savory juices blended perfectly with the fresh vegetables, creating a harmonious symphony in my mouth.
The smoky aroma from the fire made it taste even richer and more flavorful.
‘Wow, even though I cooked it myself, it’s delicious.’
Listening to the crackling of burning firewood, memories from the past suddenly surfaced.
When I was younger, whenever we came to places like this, Appa or Oppa always grilled everything for me. Even if I complained I didn’t want to eat, they’d cut it into small pieces and feed it directly into my mouth.
Now, however, I was the one grilling meat and taking care of others.
Realizing how much things had changed, I found myself missing them especially today.
‘Even so, if I’d stayed sheltered within my family’s protection forever, I probably wouldn’t have adapted so well when I ended up alone in this dungeon.’
After Mom went missing, both Appa and Oppa became overly protective of me.
Of course, it would be wonderful if they were here with me now, but the changes in me caused by their absence weren’t entirely negative.
Although the dungeon environment was harsh, my efforts were directly rewarded. Taking the initiative to manage the campsite gave me a strong sense of accomplishment.
‘But what if I never reach level 10 and can’t leave the dungeon?’
I clearly felt that the amount of experience needed increased significantly with each level. At first, completing around thirty Spring Campsite quests was enough to level up.
But now, even after finishing over a hundred, my progress bar wasn’t even halfway full.
‘No matter how well I adapt to the dungeon, living here forever is…’
Most of all, I was deeply worried about Appa. He must think I drowned and died in the Han River.
I’d already asked Hunter Chae Donghwa to pass along word of my safety, but he showed no sign of leaving soon, sticking to his earlier plan to stay in the dungeon for a while.
Since I was the one asking for a favor, it felt awkward to press him about when he’d leave.
‘If only there were a campsite quest telling me to exit the dungeon—I’d leave immediately.’
Though he wore an expression of complete indifference, he was surprisingly diligent about quests—sometimes even visiting during the day while out hunting.
It wasn’t strange for a hunter to be interested in buff-granting quests, but seeing such an aloof man so engrossed in something felt genuinely fascinating.
“Are you usually not very expressive, Hunter Chae Donghwa?”
I asked abruptly while chewing meat. At first, I’d been too intimidated to even meet his eyes, but over time, I’d realized he wasn’t actually scary, and I’d grown a bit more comfortable around him.
“Hmm.”
Oppa had once called Hunter Chae Donghwa strange and told me to hide the fact that we were related if we ever met.
But after observing him for several days, he seemed merely expressionless—not unkind at all.
In fact, his transparent focus on buffs alone, without any hidden motives, made him easy to deal with.
“I’m not sure. I don’t remember.”
Hunter Chae Donghwa seemed to ponder for a moment before giving a vague reply.
Was he just brushing me off? But he’d clearly spent quite a while thinking about it.
“If I ever upset you, Ms. Bom, please let me know. I tend to be rather insensitive in that regard.”
“No, not at all. Aside from the first day, you haven’t made any mistakes with me. Oh, and you already apologized for that first-day incident—I don’t hold grudges.”
“Yes. After I apologized, the ‘Morning Greeting’ quest completed the next morning. I’m aware.”
Bringing up that past incident made my face flush.
As he’d said, the system was quite strict about nuanced details.
When I’d first attempted the ‘Morning Greeting’ quest with Hunter Chae Donghwa, I must have still harbored resentment over his earlier threat toward Teddy.
Otherwise, the quest wouldn’t have failed again even after receiving his apology and retrying.
It was because my greeting hadn’t genuinely felt ‘friendly’—exactly as he’d pointed out.
Feeling as if my inner thoughts had been exposed, I grew slightly embarrassed.
“I won’t be able to visit the campsite tomorrow.”
“Are you leaving the dungeon?”
As an awkward silence lingered, Hunter Chae Donghwa smoothly changed the subject, seemingly unaffected.
“No. I’m going on a reconnaissance mission to a location somewhat farther away.”
“Oh, I see….”
My brief hope turned into disappointment.
“So… you won’t be coming back?”
“Do you want me to come back?”
Hunter Chae Donghwa asked with his usual blank expression. For some reason, it felt like he was testing me.
“No! You should come back.”
The words slipped out before I could stop them.
“You need to come back so I can do quests, receive buffs, earn coins, and also….”
Without realizing it, I’d started listing reasons why he should return to the campsite.
But all those reasons revolved entirely around me.
‘Am I sounding too selfish?’
Truthfully, that wasn’t my real intention. I just desperately wanted him to come back, so I’d blurted out whatever came to mind.
Teddy was certainly a comfort, but she was still a monster. Moreover, since hunters rarely passed through here, I feared I might never meet another person again.
“I’ll harvest lots of fresh vegetables and prepare good items for you. Today, I even got a ‘3-Second Sleeping Bag’—an amazing item that lets you fall asleep in three seconds! Oh, and I’ll level up quickly to give you more buffs. Honestly, don’t you find the Spring Campsite nice, Hunter?”
Once my mouth started running, it just kept spewing words. In my eagerness to highlight benefits for him, I ended up sounding almost demanding.
He continued staring at me with that nearly expressionless face, offering no reply.
Oh no—did I say something wrong?
“I-I mean… just be careful and don’t get hurt… you’re my only customer, after all… so….”
Suddenly, a soft chuckle escaped his lips.
Caught completely off guard by this unexpected reaction, I froze in shock.
“Yes. Of course, I’ll come back. Because I like it too.”
Like…? Like what…?
“I’ll bring you a gift when I return. I’m heading toward the 1 o’clock direction—do you want any specific item?”
“No, I don’t know the dungeon well enough….”
“Then may I choose the gift myself?”
“Yes, yes! I’ll happily accept whatever you give me.”
He must mean he likes the campsite, right? Or maybe the quests. Or perhaps the buffs—that makes more sense.
Or could it be the meat I grilled?
Or maybe…?
Though his words clearly referred to the campsite, I kept silently questioning myself for some reason.
His expression when saying he liked it carried a warmth that felt far too tender to be just about the campsite.
“Yes. I’ll do that.”
This time, his smile was clearer than before.
“It’s strange—I never thought I’d have a place to return to.”
As the corners of his mouth lifted into a refreshing smile, his already handsome face looked even more striking.
‘Is smiling part of a quest…?’
I quickly turned my head away, pretending not to notice, blaming it on quests to hide my flustered feelings.
My face felt hot from sitting too long by the fire.
[This is the timeline separator]“Then I’ll see you next time.”
“Yes. Please be careful on your trip.”
Hunter Chae Donghwa left the campsite. Thinking that someone who came daily wouldn’t visit for a while made me feel oddly unsettled.
“Oh, I meant to give him a sandwich.”
I suddenly remembered the sandwich I’d prepared earlier that morning using my Cooking skill, but Hunter Chae Donghwa had already vanished.
“He’s so fast….”
Yesterday, thanks to Hunter Chae Donghwa, I’d enjoyed meat and a pleasant time for the first time in ages. I’d gone through the trouble of making the sandwich to repay his kindness.
‘I’ll just give it to him next time. He did say he’d come back.’
Pushing aside my disappointment, I put the sandwich back into my inventory.
“Master, what shall we do today?”
“Hmm. We’ve harvested enough to feed us both for now.”
I’d worked hard lately, so I had plenty of firewood and weeds for making cloth. With no visitors expected soon, there was no need to stockpile extra food.
“How about we take a break today? We deserve at least one day of rest.”
“Woo-hoo! Great!”
[5600C]Since Hunter Chae Donghwa rented a tent daily and I sold the harvested crops, my coins had accumulated considerably.
So today, while taking a break, I planned to go shopping. First, I’d finally make the tent I’d been too intimidated to craft before due to its high cost.
[CraftMedium Tent – Wood×50, Cloth×50, Stone×50, 500C
Large Tent – Wood×100, Cloth×100, Stone×100, 1,000C]
‘A medium tent costs 500 coins….’
It had seemed so expensive at first, but now it even looked cute. Had I finally joined the ranks of hunters?
I’d heard hunters had a different economic mindset from ordinary people, and now I was starting to understand what that meant.
[‘Yubom (F)’ has crafted ‘Medium Tent’.]Since I needed to buy other things too, I crafted just one. Next, I browsed the Camp Market.
[Self-Cleaning Fire Pit (C)– Requires no cleaning.] [Fire-Safe Fireworks (D)
– Poses no wildfire risk.] [Blue Starlight Plant Bulb (C)
– A bulb made from plants found in the Blue Starlight Valley.] [Insect-Repellent Lamp (A)
– Prevents insects from entering within 5 meters of the lamp.] [Ingredient-Free Ice Cream Machine (A)
– Requires no ingredients.
– Flavors: Milk, Chocolate, Strawberry] [Ingredient-Free Slushie Machine (A)
– Requires no ingredients.
– Flavors: Grape, Strawberry, Pineapple] [Mother’s Womb Hammock (A)
– Provides comfort reminiscent of being in your mother’s womb.]
The Camp Market offered a wide variety of items.
Among them, the ice cream and slushie machines, with their flavors explicitly listed, caught my eye the most.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
