The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 205

* * *

Heena was walking in the wilderness. In one hand, he was holding a rolled up SSS grade newspaper.

The ground was dry and hard. Sand dust rose with every step.

‘If I keep doing this, I might end up turning into a sand person.’

Heena frowned deeply. I covered my nose and mouth with the handkerchief I had, but the inside of my mouth felt as if I had chewed sand.

‘Are you and O-Saek going to be okay?’

Heena recalled what happened a few hours ago.

At the same time as Osaek’s warning, Heena was attacked.

‘No, it’s vague to call it an attack…’

Because I was thrown into an unfamiliar place in the dungeon by a monster whose name and identity I don’t know.

It was not an attack in the sense that it did not cause direct physical harm, but it was an attack in the sense that it was dropped into the wilderness alone and bloodless.

This was like telling me to slowly dry up and die.

‘It’s a shame Jinhyeon brought me various items in advance… otherwise I would have been in big trouble.’

Heena was grateful to Kang Jin-hyeon, who made her put the distress kit and clothes in her inventory, saying that something might happen anytime, anywhere.

‘Where is Jinhyeon?’

When I thought of Kang Jin-hyeon, my eyes felt cold again. I closed my eyes tightly and held back tears.

And then I got into more constructive thoughts.

‘Where on earth is this? It’s true that it’s a dungeon, but how on earth is it a dungeon?’

Heena tried to return home using the ‘Where is my home’ skill.

‘I also wanted to check the location of the boss monster.’

But for some reason, Heena’s guidance skills didn’t seem to work in this dungeon.

‘The map is shaking.’

Everything was floating randomly on the map. The geographical features displayed on the map were not chaotic, stretching or shrinking.

Even Heena’s location kept changing. Even if you stand still without moving!

‘I feel seasick.’

Heena lowered the map window again. Because it hurt my eyes and made me dizzy to keep looking.

‘What kind of dungeon is this? I walked for a very long time, but I didn’t see any monsters. Are there any monsters other than bosses in the dungeon? I was suddenly teleported. What was that thing that caused the map to become distorted? Is it a characteristic of the dungeon? Or the boss’s ability?’

Dozens of thoughts came to mind one after another.

‘Maybe the abilities of the monsters here are related to space? ‘It’s the same with spatial movement and distorted maps.’

Heena groaned and squatted in place. When I just walked, my legs and soles hurt.

‘How many hours did I walk? one hour? Or half a day?’

Since there was no clock, I had no idea how much time had passed.

Heena muttered softly while patting her aching calf.

“Jinhyeon must be wandering in a place like this too. And that lasted for three months…”

Three months had already passed since the punitive force entered the dungeon, and there were opinions at headquarters that the next punitive force should be sent in…

In three months, the food they brought in would run out. Because it was time worth spending.

…Heena thought about this and shook her head vigorously.

“no. You’ll be alive. Jinhyeon is strong. “He said he would come back safely without any incident.”

Bad thoughts were prohibited.

Besides, I shouldn’t be wallowing in these gloomy thoughts right now.

Heena had to focus on her own survival.

Heena had little actual combat experience and was much weaker than Kang Jin-hyeon.

‘No, it’s not much weaker. It’s so pitifully weak that it’s incomparably weak.’

Even if Kang Jin-hyeon came back alive, if Hee-na couldn’t survive, everything would have been a complete disaster.

“Anyway, what should I do right now?”

It was a fatal blow that the dungeon map skill did not work. This is why I couldn’t visit ‘Home Sweet Home’.

Otherwise, I have to deal with the boss monster and escape the dungeon through the gate…

‘…there’s no way I can do that.’

Heena knew the reality well.

There is no way Heena can do what the punitive force that went in earlier couldn’t do yet.

“But you’ll be able to survive somehow!”

Heena jumped up from her seat, trying to regain her strength. I shook my butt and walked forward.

‘If you walk, something will come out.’

Isn’t one lucky number extraordinarily high?

If you don’t lose hope and try your best at everything, good luck will come to you. I can only hope so this time too.

As I was walking briskly, I suddenly heard a voice from behind me.

“Who are you?”

“Ouch!”

Heena was startled and almost fell to her seat. Normally, my fist would have gone flying, but this time I was so shocked that my legs gave out.

“hi.”

Is it because of the thick sandstorm? Heena didn’t even notice that there were people nearby until just moments before.

The other person was a man dressed as a hunter.

“hmm. “After all, it’s my first time seeing this face.”

…is it really a man? The tone of his voice seemed a little high for a man.

‘It’s hard to tell whether she looks like a woman or a man.’

Meanwhile, just as Heena quickly glanced at the other person, the other person also looked at Heena here and there.

“Hmm. How can people suddenly appear? “It doesn’t seem like he has any great abilities… Is it a system error?”

He or she muttered something to himself in a low voice.

Meanwhile, Heena calmed her pounding heart and called out to the other person.

“hey!”

“uh? why?”

“Where is the group?”

I was in a hurry, so I started with the main topic.

“party?”

“Other hunters who joined the punitive force.”

Hunter slowly rolled his eyes at the urgent question.

“Um… everyone is scattered.”

“There were over 1,000 people, but they were all scattered? “What happened?”

“I know. “How did that happen?”

Heena sighed heavily at the indifferent response.

“but. If I had known that, I wouldn’t have dispersed and I wouldn’t have kept wandering around here. Anyway, it’s been three months and it looks fine. “Are other people in good condition like Hunter?”

“It’ll still be okay. “It would be difficult if I died.”

Heena slowly nodded in response to an answer that seemed a bit out of focus.

“Yes. “You can never die.”

“uh. “Yes, yes.”

Hunter waved his hand as if he understood and flopped down on the floor. And then he patted the seat next to him.

“Anyway, come sit here. Let’s talk. “It’s been so long since I’ve talked to anyone.”

Heena carefully squatted down in her seat.

“It must have been a long time since you broke up with people?”

“hmm. “Everyone was so furious that they were in no condition to talk.”

“Do you know an S-class hunter named Kang Jin-hyeon from Korea?”

“This kind of face-to-face conversation is truly special.”

“…Are you listening to me?”

“uh. I’m listening. So you too, listen to me.”

Hunter continued to talk to himself in the name of conversation, as if he was really hungry.

‘I guess they think that if you just put someone in front of you, you’re having a conversation.’

Heena said, ‘Haven’t I gone a little crazy after being alone in the wilderness for so long?’ I held back Hunter’s chatter until the words rose up to my throat.

And finally.

Hunter asked as his patience ran out.

“Is there anything you want to ask me?”

“yes.”

Heena asked quickly.

“Do you really have no idea what happened to the other hunters?”

“You keep asking about those people. “Do you have anything to do with those people?”

“yes. “There are precious people there.”

Kang Jin-hyeon, Woo Min-ah, Blue Dragon guild members, etc… there were many faces that came to mind.

Hunter watched Heena’s worried face closely and suddenly asked.

“Is that why you came all the way here? “In a… strange way?”

“yes?”

“Pretending not to know. “You suddenly appeared out of thin air.”

“What is that…”

Goosebumps ran down my spine. Heena looked up at Hunter with trembling eyes due to a sudden sense of discomfort.

‘…No, this person. ‘Is it true that it’s a hunter?’

A sudden thought occurred to me and I jumped up.

“What is it?”

As I took a step back, the other person came as close as Heena had retreated. He still had a calm and weak expression.

“I thought you had a special ability, so I tried to talk to you directly. It’s more ordinary than I thought. …You look very scared.”

“If you come close… I will hit you!”

“is not it? “Is it violent?”

Heena grabbed a newspaper and warned him, but he or she ignored the threat.

“Anyway, why don’t you keep talking to me?”

“I don’t want to do that!”

Because the sight was strangely creepy, Heena immediately cast an attack skill.

“This won’t help much.”

I thought I was clearly swinging the newspaper at the other person, but the next moment I was hitting the air.

I did that several times.

All attacks were in vain.

It felt like some intangible force was distorting the attack. Heena swallowed dry saliva.

‘What is this person?’

At that moment, the other person shrugged his shoulders.

“I thought you were a little special, but it seems like you are just like everyone else. “I just throw out useless attacks… and it’s no longer fun.”

In an instant, the other person’s face came right in front of my nose.

Before she could even react, a finger touched Heena’s forehead.

“I have to look around here now.”

My vision suddenly went black along with the monotonous voice.
