Chapter 6
"Hmm, it feels reminiscent of the 3rd mission in the game. Perhaps I can leverage that to my advantage."
"Haeun, I'm heading up to the second floor."
"Okay."
"Hyun, I've been meaning to ask you something. Why are you so level-headed? It's as if you know what's happening or even the future."
"Oh, me? I've read numerous books on situations like this, so it's as if it doesn't really faze me."
"I see. I understand."
In that moment, it was the only response I could muster. Despite Haeun's casual "okay," I could sense her growing suspicion. I need to tread carefully in the future.
"The seers are taking a keen interest in you."
[The Dragon that has slain gods desires you to be its representative.]
Do you accept?
"No, I do not accept."
[The Dragon that has slain gods is greatly disappointed by your decision.]
"I won't accept any contracts from seers until I find the one I'm looking for. Right now, I'm seeking two characters crucial for my team."
"Hyun, what are you muttering to yourself? Have you truly lost it from the world changing?"
"No, I was just pondering something, but it seems I voiced it unintentionally."
"Ah, I see. For a moment, I thought you were going mad."
As we traversed the hospital strewn with the corpses of monsters and humans alike, we reached the emergency room, where a throng of people awaited us.
[System]
You have entered the main area where the mission will commence.
"It seems the mission is truly underway."
"Hey, Haeun, hurry inside now!"
After Haeun rushed inside, a massive black portal materialized outside the door, unleashing a horde of monsters: demon dogs, goblins, ground-eaters, and zombies.
[System]
[!!Warning!! Please protect the designated area and form a group of four.]
"Haeun, get ready. We're going to tackle the monsters outside. Prepare yourself."
"Okay, Hyun, but are you sure about going outside?"
"Yes, didn't you see the system prompt? There should be a room we need to defend."
After clearing the path of monsters, I motioned for Haeun to follow me to the doctor's office. Inside, we encountered two familiar faces: Charlotte Watson and Ji-min Park, side characters who frequently aided the main character in the game.
"Yes, just the people I wanted to see."
"Hey, you two over there, what are you doing?"
"We just fled from some monsters and ended up here."
"Just as I suspected. If they're here, the main characters must be nearby. I need to befriend them for assistance."
"Can you assist us in fighting off the monsters?"
"Why should we help you?"
"Ji-min Park, why don't we lend a hand?"
"Charlotte, you're too soft."
[The seers wonder why you're seeking help when you're capable of defeating the monsters alone.]
"We won't do it for free."
"Huh, I can't understand her. She must be speaking Spanish."
[System]
[Due to the language barrier, the system has adjusted for better communication.]
"Hmm? The system seems to have adjusted to facilitate mutual understanding."
"What did you say?"
"I meant, it won't be free. What will you offer us?"
"What if I give you all my coins?"
"How many coins do you have?"
"I have 1200 coins. Is that sufficient?"
"That's acceptable. Ji-min Park, does that suffice for you?"
"Absolutely."
[System]
[Ji-min Park and Charlotte Watson have agreed to join your group (4/4).]
"You tricked us, you bastard!"
"Ji-min Park, hold on for a moment."
"Charlotte, he's just tricked us!"
Hyun : "Huh, what use was that? I never anticipated this outcome."
"It's our problem."
[System]
[Due to a shortage of groups in the hospital, characters are randomly assigned.]
"You see, it wasn't his fault; it was the system's doing."
"Okay, I'll remain calm for now. But if he tries anything, I'll kill him."
"Hey, guys, can you come quickly? The monsters are trying to breach the room!"
"No need to shout."
"Charlotte, get ready."
"Don't you think I know that?"
After repelling the monsters and taking a moment to rest, we prepared for the second wave.
"It's ready, huh?"
"It seems like the broken dagger is able to upgraded"
[System]
[Due to the number of monsters slain by the broken dagger, it can be upgraded.]
[The required coins for upgrading the broken dagger are 14000.]
[Some seers are pleased with the outcome and have gifted you 1000 coins.]
"Huh, looks like they're enjoying the game, huh?"
[System Repair#####$$]
[The ruler ###### has taken an interest in the character Hyun and wishes to see more from him.]
[The ruler ######## has taken an interest in the reader's actions as well. Farewell. :] ]
