What Ahri went through (3), Party Ti (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 ant 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 phenonon bewildered the Head Director let alone .
Kuhahahaha! Is it you? Are you the one that locked us in? Who are you? Are you the father of all creation or sothing? 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 fragnt and handed it over to a mortal to bring the world to ruin, was crushed to death by a single finger.
My instincts told . 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 .
Anything! I have no idea who you are, but you should know everything as soone 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 ti cos, you will have to make a decision.
My beginning. Dont tell
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 seed 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 rember 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 without beating around the bush!

I woke up and we were outside, which ant that my teammates managed to resolve the room. That was aweso, 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 Fragnt 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 ti I acquired one as well, right?
*
When we all returned to Room 105, we were welcod by a loud fanfare and rounds of applause like last ti.
Boom! Boom! Clap clap clap! Clap clap clap! Clap clap clap!
Hey. Hey! Be quiet! Quiet down!
Jinchul-hyung embarrassedly shouted out loud as a ssage floated on the screen.
/Esteed guests! Congratulations!
We, the staff of the Hotel, give sincere words of congratulations on you discovering your second treasure.
Unidentifiable origin of the curse! Teammates falling one by one! Crushing pain for the body and the mind!
You have proven that you are most definitely the heroes that we had been waiting for.
This treasure is particularly difficult to use, regardless of how tough your physical body is. A little bit of use weakens the mind and the body, so it is difficult to practice even with a lot of ti in hand.
That is why we, the Hotel, have provided a special place for you!
How about heading to the basent for the Tiless Safari?
It would be the perfect place to be acquainted with the treasure. There will be 5 days of rest starting from tomorrow! It would be beneficial to get yourself used to the treasure.
Todays Surprise Event: Party Ti! Will now begin.
# The Party Ti will last for 5 days and there will be nothing dangerous happening during that period. Also, there seems to be a secret in this Hotel that only shows itself during the Party Ti!/
Standing in front of the display screen, we all read the ssage together. The contents were slightly different from the ti when Songee acquired her Bracelet.
First off, the Party Ti went from 3 days to 5 days. Did they give more ti because it was a harder Inheritance to get used to?
Unlike the Bracelet, where the only penalty was the slight headache that it gave, the Star Fragnt certainly had a lot more conditions to take into consideration. It would probably take a while for Jinchul-hyung to get used to it.
Also, they ntioned an unknown location called Tiless Safari. From what we could gather, it appeared to be a place suited for using the Inheritance.
I had no idea what it was so instead of pondering by myself, I turned to Ahri, who had previously been to the Hotel.
?
That was when I noticed she was acting strange. She wasnt looking at the display screen or anything in fact, she was crouching down on the spot with her hands wrapped around her head.
Ahri? What are you doing?
Do you know what Tiless Safari is?
Other people started gathering near her as well.
Ahri-noona? Are you okay?
Only then did Ahri stand up and reply.
I cant rember.
Rember what?
The Fifth Attempt. I dont rember anything that happened after we opened the door of Room 101. It just feels like I left the room imdiately after opening it.
Eunsol-noona showed her intrigue.
Thats interesting. Has sothing like that happened before?
Its my first ti inside the Hotel. There was a ti when I died straight after entering the room, but never sothing like this where I cant rember anything.
Maybe you were imdiately killed by your mom as soon as you went in?
Im not on bad terms with her. At least not that much.
There was nothing we could figure out even if we were to linger on the topic. Perhaps after thinking the sa thing, Eunsol-noona cut the conversation short.
Lets talk about it again when you rember it one day. For now, lets go eat!
*
The Hotel dishes were as delicious as always, but they tasted even better after achieving so great results. When we were almost done with the al, Eunsol-noona opened her mouth as always.
Lets take today off. However, lets just discuss what we need to do during this ti. The first thing I can think of is the Safari that the Hotel recomnded us to go to. Also, we need to co up with a future plan, at least on the last day, right? Because we have to decide whether we want to go to Room 102, Mansion of Fear, Room 104, Hotel High School or Room 107, the Gate Room.
I also added sothing essential that had to be done.
Its Party Ti, so lets not forget the Sanctum of Blessings. I believe many of us would be able to enhance our blessings this ti.
Grandpa Mooksung added.
We finally have so ti off, so how about we spend the ti training ourselves? The boys will need to attend at the very least.
Training?
What do you an?
I an exactly what I said! Training. That pig is a monster in terms of strength so he can do whatever, and will probably be busy learning how to use the Inheritance. However, Kain, Seungyub. Dont you think you need to work on stamina to beat through this perilous Hotel?
An ominous feeling started to bud in my mind.
Uhh Thanks for the offer, but its only 5 days and not sothing like 50. What kind of training could possibly
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 seed adamant on harassing during this Party Ti.
Lets think positive. Maybe hell teach us so secret techniques of the Administration! Rembering the ti when Grandpa was flying through the mountain like soone 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 so of us will be training ourselves. Also, its Party Ti so we need to do so 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 Tiless 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 al, everyone headed back to their personal locations, but I headed to the front desk in deep contemplation.
Why couldnt I rember anything from the Fifth Attempt?
I had no idea why.
Even if my mind had been contaminated from the very beginning, the mories should still be there, and I should at least be able to rember the strange things I did. Also, its not like mom had the special ability of deleting peoples mories.
Did I brainwash myself? However, even Allusion wasnt able to completely wipe the mories 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 mories.
Hmm. Thats interesting. You didnt remove your own mories, did you?
I thought about that, but it definitely feels different from when I delete my own.
Mhmm I cant think of anything.
Sa, so Im just going to give up here. More importantly, whats with the sudden talk about Physical Training?
What do you an? Didnt you say that a few days ago?
? 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 rember you telling 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 , 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 an 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 in the slightest, but I just hoped that he wouldnt say, Ahri told to do this, or any of that nonsense while ruthlessly pushing them beyond their limits.
