I expected it to be automatic, but a recipe popped up. I noticed a detailed description window in the Cooking skill.
[※’Cooking’ is a skill that adds effects to food made following the recipe.※The effect varies depending on the cooking completion.
※You can’t hold more than 5 Cooking skill-made foods in the inventory.]
So, I had to make it myself, and if the quality was low, the skill effect would decrease.
It was undoubtedly a great skill, but oddly cumbersome.
Easy skills don’t come without a catch.
“Just a moment, Teddy. I’ll make it quickly.”
I sighed deeply and started cooking.
[Sandwich – Movement speed increases by 34%.] [Sandwich – Movement speed increases by 65%.]But making a perfect 100% movement speed sandwich was not easy. Too thick or thin slices of tomato and onion, or an undercooked egg, reduced the buff effect.
‘How do I do this!’
Thud.
“Oh. Owner, are you okay?”
“Energy… I need energy…”
Cooking drained too much energy. I hadn’t used the skill many times, but my energy dropped to zero.
I couldn’t do anything as my legs gave out.
‘What’s the use of a great skill if my body is useless!’
“Teddy… Can you take me to the tent?”
“Sure!”
I ended up doing nothing that afternoon, lying in the tent.
“My fate…”
I vowed not to be greedy with such a weak body.
Then, I remembered the unopened quest reward.
‘Camping Market C-grade Item Selection Ticket (1 time)!’
Hunters have a ‘Hunter Market’ for trading special ability items.
My class was unique, so I had the Camping Market function instead.
Opening the Camping Market window, various items were displayed.
[Pleasant-Smelling Lamp (C)A pleasant smell within 5 meters of the lamp.] [Bug-Repelling Lamp (A)
Bugs cannot enter within 5 meters of the lamp.] [3-Second Sleeping Bag (C)
Fall asleep in 3 seconds.] [Automatic Recycling Bin (B)
Automatically recycles for you.] Glancing over the items, many good ones caught my eye. The one that captivated me was the 3-second sleeping bag.
No matter how much the camping site served as a shelter, a dungeon was still a dungeon. Even aware of its safety, it was hard to relax in a place called a dungeon.
I heard that hunters, for this reason, couldn’t sleep deeply in dungeons. Being able to fall asleep quickly was a great advantage.
Luckily, the 3-second sleeping bag was a C-grade item.
“Owner! If you decorate the landscape, the camping site’s buffs will improve.”
I was about to select the 3-second sleeping bag when Teddy approached.
“Hmm, I was thinking of buying a sleeping bag. Doesn’t it count for landscaping?”
“It seems more like an item used inside the tent, right?”
“But it looks so useful…”
“Then go for it now, and we can buy landscape items later when we have more resources.”
“That sounds good.”
I hesitated for a moment but finally chose the 3-second sleeping bag. I installed it in tent number 1.
As the day comes to a close, night finds its way.
As night approaches, the dungeon starts to change. The creatures of the dungeon, which were blue during the day, start to glow brightly.
Looking at them, shining like the Milky Way under the starlight, it felt like the boundary between the sky and the land disappeared, and I was in a universe of my own.
Did Mom marvel at this too? Did she regret that I couldn’t see it?
Sure, it was beautiful, as Mom had said. But I couldn’t just relax and enjoy the view.
I inevitably thought of my family, feeling their absence more acutely because of this dungeon.
I missed Mom. Dad, who must be worrying about me outside. And my brother, who disappeared in the dungeon.
To find them, I must survive here. Even if it’s scary and unpleasant, I must adapt.
And I began to entertain another possibility.
Maybe, just maybe, I could find my family here.
They might be alive, just like me, surviving somewhere in this dungeon.
It might sound ridiculous to others, but I gradually started to harbor this hope.
“Hello.”
“Are you here again? Staying the night?”
As the day turned dark, a guest arrived. Chae Dong-hwa, the hunter, had been staying every night at the camping site since his first visit.
Since the camping site didn’t change its location daily, it wouldn’t have been too hard for him to find it, given his knowledge of the dungeon’s geography.
But given how he initially threatened Teddy and suspected me of illegally selling the shelter…
I thought he wouldn’t think too highly of me.
“Yes.”
Chae Dong-hwa Hunter still had a monotone expression, but he no longer seemed intimidating.
Anyway, having a regular customer was good for steady sales and staying in the camping area even slightly increased my experience points.
‘But isn’t it a problem that Chae Dong-hwa Hunter is the only guest?’
For two weeks, Chae Dong-hwa Hunter was the only guest. A creeping unease suggested that something might be wrong.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
