What Ahri went through (3), Party Time (1)



Heaven above heaven. World outside the world.



A pillar that was reaching out from outside everything in creation gently pressed down on the Hotel.



Only after looking at it for a while did I notice.



The pillar was actually a finger.

The Head Director of the Hospital said that the Hotel inside the Hotel was like a black hole within the universe giving birth to another universe inside it.



How did I not realize it until now? If a new universe could be born inside a universe, that meant there could be bigger and broader universes outside of our universe!

It was but a single finger that was gently pressing down on all the evil gods.



Like a human pressing down on a bug, it was neither excessive nor rushed.

That supernatural phenomenon bewildered the Head Director let alone me.



Kuhahahaha! Is it you? Are you the one that locked us in? Who are you? Are you the father of all creation or something? Who the hell are you to



Kwajik!



It was a gentle press.



The evil existence, who forged a portion of his strength into the form of a star fragment and handed it over to a mortal to bring the world to ruin, was crushed to death by a single finger.





My instincts told me. That was the being the very existence that had the answer to everything including all my countless questions and my deepest desires.

Restlessly, I ran up to the finger and kneeled down.



There were so many questions floating in my head that I had no idea what I was supposed to ask first.



Please! Please! Answer me.



Anything! I have no idea who you are, but you should know everything as someone who can protect the world with one finger, right?

In that world of nothing but light and the finger



I heard a voice.

Confront your beginning at the second floor. When the time comes, you will have to make a decision.



My beginning. Dont tell me



The Room of!



But what was I supposed to do there?

BEEEEP!



A strange alarm went off in my head as my brain started to turn blank. It felt like a large eraser was removing sentences from my head.



I saw too much, huh. It seemed that I had crossed the line of what was allowed for the participants. From the looks of things, it appeared that I wont be able to remember what happened in the Fifth Attempt after going outside.



My consciousness started to fade. Before blacking out, I thought to myself.



If youre going to remove them anyway, at least tell me without beating around the bush!

I woke up and we were outside, which meant that my teammates managed to resolve the room. That was awesome, but



It was certain that I didnt acquire an Inheritance. I didnt see any notifications after all.

Turning around, I saw the people whom I missed despite the short separation inside the room. Chatting and laughing in joy, we eventually noticed who acquired the Inheritance.



Star Fragment of Another World.



After hearing about the Inheritance, I was relieved that I wasnt the one who acquired it. It might sound like I was trying to lie to myself, but it really was an Inheritance that I wouldnt have been able to use. Unlike the Bracelet, it had a clear and powerful penalty.



Also, it was a delight to see that Jinchul-hyung, who had gradually lost his previous confidence and pride after dying questionable deaths, was finally back to his confident self.



Anyway, its about time I acquired one as well, right?

When we all returned to Room 105, we were welcomed by a loud fanfare and rounds of applause like last time.



Boom! Boom! Clap clap clap! Clap clap clap! Clap clap clap!



Only 4 days? ONLYYYY? Do you think this Hotel will be generous enough to often give you 5 precious days off? And you guys really need to work on stamina.



It didnt look like there was any room for negotiation. Sir seemed adamant on harassing me during this Party Time.



Lets think positive. Maybe hell teach us some secret techniques of the Administration! Remembering the time when Grandpa was flying through the mountain like someone from a wuxia novel back at the Mansion of Fear, I persuaded myself to be positive.



That was when Elena suddenly joined.



Grandpa. Can I please do it together?



Grandpa Mooksung replied with an excited look on his face.



Huh? Of course you can. Songee, you can join us too.



Songee, who was doing her best not to look at us, replied with sorrow written on her face.



Okay



Right as Grandpas gaze was about to turn towards Eunsol-noona, she quickly shifted the topic.



Alright! I will keep in mind that some of us will be training ourselves. Also, its Party Time so we need to do some exploring. There might be a few interesting things even apart from the Sanctum of Blessings, right? For now, these are the things we need to work on.



Go to Timeless Safari.



Empower blessings at the Sanctum of Blessings.



Physical Training.



Hotel Exploration.



Decide on the next room.



Those are the five things we thought of on the spot. If you can think of anything else, lets talk about it tomorrow. For now, lets take a rest.



She quickly ended the conversation and stood up. Unlike what she was usually like, I could tell that there was a sense of urgency in her actions.



I could guarantee that she was in a hurry in fear that Grandpa would add her to the Physical Training Group.

Kim Ahri



After the meal, everyone headed back to their personal locations, but I headed to the front desk in deep contemplation.



Why couldnt I remember anything from the Fifth Attempt?



I had no idea why.



Even if my mind had been contaminated from the very beginning, the memories should still be there, and I should at least be able to remember the strange things I did. Also, its not like mom had the special ability of deleting peoples memories.



Did I brainwash myself? However, even Allusion wasnt able to completely wipe the memories clean like this. I was thinking hard to myself when Mooksung walked here from a distance.



What are you thinking about by yourself?



Wondering why I lost my memories.



Hmm. Thats interesting. You didnt remove your own memories, did you?



I thought about that, but it definitely feels different from when I delete my own.



Mhmm I cant think of anything.



Same, so Im just going to give up here. More importantly, whats with the sudden talk about Physical Training?



What do you mean? Didnt you say that a few days ago?



Me? Physical training?



What in the world are you talking about? When did I talk about training their stamina?



You were concerned that Kain was overly used to the irrational atmosphere of the Hotel, right? I remember you telling me to guide him back to the path of being more human.



How is that related to stamina training?



I knew it you dont understand people that well. Perhaps its because you were a superhuman from birth.



No, I think right now, the strange one is you, Mooksung, and not me, no matter how I think about it.



Healthy mind resides in a healthy body. The trials of the Hotel are harsh but the body is weak, and thats why hes relying on severe strategies to resolve problems. Its through the repetition of that that his mind would turn more and more vicious.



Oh okay! So you mean you will train his body, enough so that he can smash through the trials with his fists, and that would allow a healthy mind to reside in his body? Is that what you are saying?



Exactly.



Whatever. You do you.



Mooksung left with a genuinely proud look on his face. It didnt matter to me in the slightest, but I just hoped that he wouldnt say, Ahri told me to do this, or any of that nonsense while ruthlessly pushing them beyond their limits.
