···It happened. Mister? Can you hear me?
“Umm… Ha…”
I vaguely heard Eunchae’s voice and began to wake up.
“··· Is the stage… Over?”
“It’s been a few hours since we finished, man…”
How many hours… So what’s the next stage?
I tried to raise my upper body, but there was no place on my body that wasn’t sore, as if I had been beaten by a group.
Why is my body like this…
“What’s the next stage?”
“Oh my, room manager, there are still a few more hours left, so don’t worry and get some more rest.”
“You can rest a little more like your uncle said. It’s a boss fight, so I guess it’ll start late.”
＜02:23:45＞
I see.
I nodded and lay down on the bed again.
‘Status Window’
Eun Gyeon (Lv.6) (9)
Stamina: 41(+2)
mana: 163(+3)
Strength: 30(+4)
Agility: 29(+1)
It came together easily. Ugh… Why is my body not recovering even though the stage is over… I don’t think it will fully recover until the next stage.
Even the slightest movement of the body creaked and screamed.
That sword…
“The sword I brought?”
“A sword? Oh, the one with just a handle? Wait a minute.”
Eunchae went out for a moment, and the people outside came rushing in.
Everyone said something to me one by one with worried eyes, but I didn’t have the strength to respond.
“··· Eungyeon, you tend to push yourself too hard.”
“I’m sorry.”
“···”
“Hyung, you’re so crazy! I gave you 10,000 points for a white leader or something! I even gave you items! This is my first time seeing a monster other than a boss mob that gives me items!”
Euncheol was struggling with his hands, wondering what was so exciting.
Procrastination-
Huh?

Ah… Thank you, spirits, for being patient with me until I wake up…
I can feel the deep sensation of vampire insects sticking to my shoulder and sucking on the points.
But the point is not stuck inside my body, so do I have to come close and suck it?
“Mister, here is the sword handle.”
It only has a real handle. It’s worth 45,000 points, so does it make sense for the sword to break if you hit it once?
Hmm- But this… I don’t think there is a place where the blade is supposed to be? Then what was the blade that was sticking out at that time?
No matter how much I looked, there was no button that made the blade appear.
What conditions must be triggered…
-When dealing with light attribute enemies, part of the hero Rosherdin’s power is borrowed.
After reading the description carefully, it seemed to only activate when dealing with enemies with light attributes.
Then, that giant has a light attribute… Where did you get that from?
Anyway, this sword is sealed for the time being. There is too much strain on the body.
It was clear that Rosherdin was a great person, as he could feel his body startle even though he only borrowed a portion of the hero’s power.
“Probably, starting today, battles will only take place twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon.”
“Yes…”
Don’t tell me… Gahi…
“If it hurts, I won’t help you…”
Ohhh Ha-eun, are you worried about me? The uncle is impressed-
“I have to feed the babies so they don’t get hurt…”
“Ugh…”
That’s what I meant… Stop the mental attacks!
I roughly read the message in my head.
The number of deaths is finally coming into view.
30 Million people… Random unexpected events…
For some reason, there weren’t many giants.
I took on the challenge because I like the death event.
I almost killed all my team members. Because of my bad choices.
A corner of my heart went cold.
I checked the reward, thinking that I should now filter out what the host said.
Suroichi’s great sword…
Suroichi Greatsword
– A great sword mass-produced in the workshop of the dwarf Suroichi. For a mass-produced model, it has excellent durability and cutting power.
– Conditions of use: Strength of 50 or more
– Durability 125/125
After killing so many people, the reward is mass-produced… The host is an asshole.
I was wondering if they would give me something great…
After resting for about an hour, I was finally able to get up on my own.
When I came out of the shelter, Hyuna Kim was carefully wiping a large sword as tall as herself with a towel.
“···Oh! The man has come out.”
“Mister, just lie down. I’ll tell you before it starts.”
“It’s okay, just walking.”
Actually, it’s not okay. But I thought it would be better to come out and sit on the sofa rather than lying down anxiously.
Fussuk-
As I lay down on the sofa, Chef Jeong Jeong massages my shoulders. I said it was okay, but it was reckless.
I thought he might want to do something, so I accepted it without refusing any more.

The caterpillars were still eating my points.
You guys really have no mercy…
As I looked outside, listening to the sound of caterpillars sloshing around, Kahi came up next to me and said.
“Mister, from now on, instead of doing things alone, let’s discuss and proceed together. Don’t you know that there is a gap between what you say and what you do?”
“Huh? Is that so?”
“Anyway, don’t try to carry it all on your own. We’re not a burden… And no one likes the feeling of being indebted to others.”
“··· Yes, I understand.”
It is right to listen silently to sincere advice.
It was an action taken out of a sense of crisis, but looking back, the giant’s attack on the shelter was an attack that took a considerable amount of time.
Perhaps my perspective was narrowed by the thought that if I were to be attacked twice more, the shelter would be destroyed.
As I was staring out the window blankly for a moment, Jinsol, the chef couple, approached me and spoke to me cautiously.
“Hey… It’s not as good as Euncheol’s, but it seems like a good team. Would you like to take a look?”
“Oh yes.”

Hello. There are a total of 3 of us, and our abilities are as you can see above.
Since I am the owner of the shelter, I can move it at any time. Of course, it would be nice to have a team that can guarantee our safety. Teams excluded from field games will be contacted first. Thank you
For your information, all three of us originally worked in obstetrics and gynecology. If anyone is pregnant, this will be of great help.
“Hmm…”
Jinsol was constantly wiggling her toes and fingers as if she was anxious about something, and next to her, her husband Jeong Jeong waited anxiously with his hands folded together.
Judging by the looks of other people glancing at me, it looks like they had a rough conversation.
It’s the same when I lied the first time, and it’s the same with this one. I guess I should give a reasonable penalty.
The couple was very embarrassed that the pick was blatantly for themselves.
Can parents be this shameless for their baby?
Well, aren’t humans inherently selfish animals? Even apart from that, these three people who were selected were decent in many ways.
It may not be what the couple intended.
So, let’s just see who is worthy of receiving it.
The most interesting part is this characteristic
One Path (Rare)
– Moves two specified spaces. (Up to 5 people allowed)
If the time it takes to move is very short, the range of strategies in battle can be expanded.
It may feel a little uncomfortable to abandon your shelter, but that is a choice anyone can make depending on the situation.
“I’ll contact you.”
“Ah… Yes yes!”
I keep nodding my head, so I’ll have to go separately later and talk about various things.
I slightly modified the message I sent to Euncheol and even added a condition. It’s not a team with very high specs, so you can go out with a slightly high attitude.
“How about the sword you received as a reward?”
As Hyuna continued to clean her sword, she looked at me, gave her thumbs up, and said.
“It’s ridiculously durable. I really like it. Just my feeling, but if you want to buy something like this at the store, you’ll have to give at least 20,000 points.”
“Ah… Really? What was the durability of the sword you used before?”
“45. Battles were being fought all the time, and even if we fought just once, the days would be gone.”
Oh… If you think about it that way, it’s a great thing, right?
“What do I do when durability runs out?”
“··· The blacksmith shop will open after stage 10. The cost of repairs was also considerable.”
“I see.”
You talk a lot since you talk about swords.
Tuk-tuk-
Oh my gosh, the bug teachers have finished eating.
The caterpillars fall under the sofa and roll over to Ha-eun.
Ha-eun is wondering what’s so good about it. She hugs the caterpillars and hums her song.
For some reason, it feels like the bodies of the bugs being held have turned red… I guess it’s because of my mood.
Tiring-!
Oh, the reply is quick.
– Hello. Thank you very much for contacting us. Is it okay if I skip right away? If you reply, I will move on right away. I will try my best to convince you of the conditions!
Maybe it’s because it’s before the boss battle begins, but it looks a bit rushed. If you can’t persuade them, you have no choice but to force them to do it.
“Can I move on to the three job postings from earlier?”
Even though it must have been discussed in advance, the couple seemed unable to let go of the tension and anxiously waited for people’s decision.
But everyone readily agreed and sent a message telling them to come over right away.
Then a portal opened in the center of the shelter and two women walked out first.
One was a woman who looked to be in her 50s, and the other was a young woman in her early 20s.
“Nice to meet you! My name is Go Okja. Please take care of me!”
The lady’s voice is so resonant and nice.
“Ah, hello… I’m Suji Han. I’ll do my best.”
The young friend looks very nervous.
The other person is a little late.
Weeeing-
Immediately the portal began to shimmer, and a bespectacled woman in her early 40s walked out, out of breath.
“hehehehe – I almost got caught.”
It looks like he ran away quickly.
“Hello~ My name is Ahn Eun-hye. Please take care of me~”
Still, her voice was relaxed, perhaps because she was someone who had even worked as a shelter director.
There was still about an hour left until the battle started, so I had a chat with the people and had them look around the shelter.
As always, the faces of the new arrivals brightened as they looked around the shelter.
Now there are 12 people. It seems like it’s time to start taking care of it.
“Would you three please talk for a moment?”
At my words, three people walk over and sit on the sofa.
I stroke my chin once and then pause for a bit.
As silence continues for a moment, tension begins to appear on the faces of the three women.
If the head of the new shelter is a large, muscular man sitting in front of you with an expressionless face, anyone can’t help but feel nervous.
Lean your upper body slightly forward to start a conversation.
Shock!
The three people shake their shoulders heavily and avoid eye contact.
‘Did I scare you too much…’
