Owner of the S-Rank Dungeon Campsite (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 6
“No!”
I desperately ran forward and blocked Teddy’s path.
“Huh.”
The man’s sword halted right before my eyes, and I found myself staring directly into his face.
A few strands of hair had been sliced off, fluttering gently through the air. Through the falling strands, I caught sight of his sharp eyes and distinct jawline.
His pupils were unusually large and vivid—so much so that, for a moment, he didn’t even feel human.
Regardless of his good looks, I felt an eerie chill run down my spine.
“A Hunter?”
“Yes, yes! This monster is one I’ve tamed!”
Frozen in place, I blurted out the words urgently.
“The Blue Starlight Bear?”
The man clearly knew about Teddy. Whether his pupils had widened from excitement or something else, they now noticeably shrank again.
‘Somehow, this feels familiar…’
A vague sense of déjà vu suddenly struck me, but I couldn’t quite recall where I’d seen something like this before.
“A Taming Hunter?”
“No, not exactly…”
Hunters generally avoided revealing their class or specialized skills to one another, as it could expose their weaknesses.
At most, they’d broadly categorize themselves as combat, crafting, or healing types. But “campground owner” didn’t fit into any of those categories, leaving me unsure how to explain myself.
“I—I run a campground here!”
I gestured toward a signboard that, though somewhat shabby, clearly bore lettering. My fingertips trembled from nerves.
Even after seeing the sign, his expression remained unreadable.
“A campground… inside a dungeon?”
“Yes… If you stay at the campground, you’ll receive a special buff. Would you like to try using one of our tents?”
His tone softened slightly as he spoke politely. Summoning courage, I made him an offer.
I figured it would be better for him to experience it firsthand.
Since the tent already had the buff active, trying it would prove my words were true.
“But you’ll need to pay coins to use the tent. Teddy, how much is it for a one-day rental?”
“300 coins! The tent key should be in your inventory, Master!”
I opened my inventory and indeed found an unfamiliar item. Pulling it out revealed a bracelet with a blinking red light.
‘This must be the tent key… But 300 coins for just one day? Isn’t that way too expensive?’
Just as I hesitated over the unexpectedly high price, the man frowned deeply and asked,
“Shelters are public zones—they belong to no one. Are you saying you’re running a business inside a shelter?”
“No, it’s not like that…”
He spoke again in that stiff tone. I understood perfectly.
Shelters were designated public areas within weapon-free zones, with no restrictions on personnel or rank, open for anyone to use.
However, some rogue Hunters occasionally claimed shelters first and conducted coin-based transactions there. Naturally, this was illegal, and reporting them to the Hunter Association would result in penalties.
“Don’t you know you’d be immediately detained if reported to the Association?”
Though he was technically correct, the man had completely misunderstood the situation.
“I know… But because of my class, this shelter has no time limit and won’t disappear.”
“That’s right! If Master dismantles the campground, the shelter will vanish too.”
Teddy, who had been watching from behind, chimed in to support me.
‘I didn’t know dismantling it would make it disappear.’
Despite our explanation, the man’s furrowed brow remained tense. His eyes clearly conveyed disbelief.
“If you’re suspicious, check the shelter’s time limit through the system. You’ll see my name listed as the owner there.”
The man manipulated his system window, apparently verifying the time limit. Even though I’d done nothing wrong, my heart clenched tightly.
After staring intently into the air for a while, he continued in a flat, expressionless voice.
“So you’re saying I need to pay an entrance fee to enter this shelter?”
“There’s no entrance fee—you just need to rent a tent. Simply being on the campground grounds grants you a special buff, but entering the tent gives you an even better one!”
“……”
“And since you’re the very first customer of our Spring Campground, if you’re hungry, we’ll even give you a complimentary drink from the vending machine!”
“……”
“Or… perhaps a breakfast service where we deliver the tent directly to you…?”
His expression grew increasingly rigid, causing my voice to trail off involuntarily. I even invented services that didn’t exist, desperately trying to lighten the mood—but it wasn’t easy.
“Never mind. So 300 coins is all it takes?”
“……You’re really going to rent it?”
“Weren’t you just saying that’s what you wanted?”
“Right! Here you go!”
For a moment, I stood dumbfounded, then quickly handed him the tent key before he could change his mind.
As soon as it touched his hand, the bracelet’s light turned blue.
[A Small Tent has been rented.]‘Yubom (F)’ has acquired 300C.
Even upon second thought, the shameless price made my eyes widen in disbelief. It was far too expensive.
“Where should I go?”
“I’ll guide you!”
Teddy led the guest to the tent. As he followed Teddy, the man glanced around the rather unimpressive campground.
His willingness to pay upfront seemed less about trusting my words and more about verifying whether this was truly an illegal operation.
“Master, that guest seems kind of scary…”
Teddy returned after guiding the guest, her voice trailing off nervously. She was visibly trembling.
I grasped Teddy’s hand tightly.
“To be honest, I’m scared too. It seems we’ve gotten an incredibly formidable guest right from the start, hasn’t it?”
“Could you possibly know him?”
“Yes. Though he doesn’t know me…”
The moment the man entered the tent, he zipped the entrance shut. A shadow appeared on the fabric, suggesting he’d turned on the lamp inside.
“But how do you know him, Master?”
“In our world, he’s a Hunter so powerful that no one doesn’t know him.”
The shadow moved farther from the entrance, growing larger in size.
Soon, it menacingly swayed like a demon with horns on its head.
“He’s Hunter Chae Donghwa, the number one ranked Hunter.”
[This is the timeline separator]Oppa was fortunate enough to awaken as an S-rank Combat-class Hunter during his second year of high school.
Despite my repeated pleas, he followed Appa into the dungeon to search for Mom.
“Can’t you just work in an office instead?”
After awakening, Oppa practically lived in and out of dungeons. Though everything went smoothly for him thanks to his innate strength, I often couldn’t hide my anxiety.
“How can a Combat-class Hunter work in an office?”
“Appa’s already searching, so you don’t need to.”
I wanted to find Mom too. But I lacked the courage to risk such danger.
Disappearance in a dungeon was nearly synonymous with death.
If Oppa were to go missing in the dungeon as well…
That possibility filled me with dread.
“Appa’s rank is low. It’s dangerous for him to enter dungeons. It’s better if I, with my higher rank, go in.”
Though Appa held a low rank, he’d been hailed as a prodigy since childhood. Oppa gathered information inside the dungeon, while Appa conducted investigations outside.
They divided their roles—inside and out—fully devoted to finding Mom.
“Dungeons are dangerous regardless of rank.”
Mom had been SSS-rank, and she’d told us not to worry—but she still disappeared. High rank no longer gave me any comfort.
“Just leave it to Hunter Chae Donghwa. Entrust it to him.”
“How do you even know Chae Donghwa?”
“If a South Korean citizen doesn’t know Chae Donghwa, they must be a spy!”
Hunter Chae Donghwa was also an S-rank Hunter assigned to Reconnaissance Team 7. With fewer than ten S-rank Hunters in all of South Korea, it was impossible not to know him.
Moreover, Hunter Chae Donghwa was famous for another reason: no one could uncover anything about his life before becoming a Hunter.
There was no information about his age, what he did before becoming a Hunter, or whether he had family.
His handsome appearance and mysterious aura were more than enough to ignite the public’s intense curiosity.
“Donghwa still has a long way to go.”
“What are you talking about? Lately, there’ve been rumors that you’re falling behind.”
“Who’s spreading such baseless rumors? Your Oppa is still top-notch.”
And Hunter Chae Donghwa was famously an ardent fan of Oppa—so much so that rumors claimed he’d joined Reconnaissance Team 7 specifically because of Oppa.
It was already puzzling enough that an S-rank Hunter like him had joined the Association at all.
Unlike Oppa, who was tied to his family, high-rank Hunters typically joined guilds where they could earn substantial money.
“He just seems stern because he’s reserved. In reality, it’s nothing serious.”
“Maybe he’s letting you win because you two are close.”
“What nonsense? I’m absolutely not close with Chae Donghwa.”
Oppa vehemently denied it, reacting more strongly than necessary.
‘But didn’t you just call him “Donghwa” without his surname earlier…? And what do you mean “absolutely not close”?’
“So don’t you ever mention Chae Donghwa to me.”
Uncharacteristically, his expression hardened as he spoke firmly.
That was strange. Photos of the two of them together had been circulating everywhere.
“If you ever happen to meet Chae Donghwa, make sure you never reveal you’re my younger sister.”
“What? Are you embarrassed by me, Oppa?”
By now, it seemed there was another motive behind his words.
Though my family had kept our relationship hidden from the public since I was young—to protect me, a civilian, from negative influence—they’d never outright told me to hide it like this before.
“It’s not that… Anyway, just stay away from him if you see him. He’s a weird guy.”
Oppa was acting strangely that day, as if warning me that Hunter Chae Donghwa was some kind of dangerous individual.
Not that I had any intention of revealing our connection anyway.
Ever since Mom disappeared in the dungeon, I’d avoided anything related to Hunters.
“Then I’m off.”
“Okay.”
That day, Oppa was departing on a dungeon expedition.
An expedition involved clearing over 50% of a vast dungeon, which supposedly prevented monsters from emerging through the gate for a while.
The Association selected guilds for expeditions based on each dungeon’s difficulty.
Although the Association had its own strategy teams for expeditions, Oppa’s high rank as part of a reconnaissance team often led to support requests.
“You’re not even asking which dungeon you’re going to?”
“Why should I care? You’ll just do whatever you want anyway.”
Expeditions differed from regular raids. Once he went, it sometimes took over two weeks before he returned.
Given that I already disliked Oppa being a Hunter, this only doubled my frustration.
“It’s a dungeon where your favorite fruit grows. I’ll bring back a lot.”
“Never mind. I don’t like that stuff anymore.”
Because I’d developed fantasies about dungeons from Mom’s stories. Because I’d eagerly awaited the gifts she’d bring back.
Because I’d grown to love dungeons—maybe that made Mom lower her guard.
That thought tormented me constantly. So I decided to cut off all interest in dungeons entirely.
“Alright. While I’m gone, listen well to Appa. I’ll be back soon.”
What I really wanted to say was, “Be careful,” and “Don’t forget I’ll be waiting for you outside the gate.”
But knowing Oppa wouldn’t listen anyway, I could only express it this way.
Oppa enjoyed being a Hunter, and seeing him reminded me so much of Mom that it only heightened my anxiety.
I hoped it was just needless worry—but in the end, Oppa disappeared in the dungeon, just like Mom.
Once a place of excitement and joy, the dungeon now held nothing but despair and hatred.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
