The Dungeon's S-Class Time-limited Lady

[Ariensa Sian Demar (Joo Yian-ssi)>> I think we need to figure out what the current situation is, first. Hunter Shin Yuri, too, if you have a problem, please contact us immediately.] 

[Senia de Forlain (Shin Yuri)>> Okay ㅠㅠ] 

[Ariensa Sian Demar (Joo Yian-ssi)>> Don’t worry, Hunter Shin Yuri. You’ve always led us to success. Let me repay you this time.] 

What do you mean I led us? Without the healer, our party would not have been so successful.

It was because I trusted them to have my back.

And there was a reason why there was no tanker in our party.

That was because Shin Jaeheon and I could catch and take a lot of damage at the front.

Since there were already two dealers who could do both, there was no need for a tanker.

Oh? Where’s the other dealer this time you say? Ah—.

[Senia de Forlain (Shin Yuri) >> I wasn’t exactly leading—. Anyway, I’ve discovered I can open the God’s Store that sells some weird stuff. So, I’ll look into it.] 

[Ariensa Sian Demar (Joo Yian-ssi) >> That’s great. As for me, I’ll try to learn more about the Forlain family. So, please focus on your survival first, Hunter Shin Yuri!]

Survival? I’m not an F-class Hunter who has to worry about her survival in a dungeon!

I looked up at the ceiling for a moment which had become even more familiar. And nodded to myself.

This RP dungeon started off with such poor stats. Doesn’t that indicate that the rewards would be even greater?

Will I finally get to wield an L-class weapon that has never been seen in Korea before?

Suddenly, my heart started to race in anticipation.

[Senia de Forlain (Shin Yuri) >> Okay. Let me know if you find anything important~]

And so, the hunter chat was pushed to the side. 

As Hunter Joo Yian said, the most important thing was to train my stamina first.

As soon as I thought that; 

[Sub-quest: To Train Your Stamina]

“Oh.”

As expected of an RP dungeon, it immediately responded to the player’s requests.

So… Do they want me to do push-ups?

I opened the task window thinking about the endless exercise quests I had received from the system when I became an S-class hunter.

And then, I blinked and stared blankly at the task.

[Eating something delicious

Reward: Full stamina +3]

“That’s it?”

Isn’t this just awesome?

I just put an incredibly delicious dungeon snack into the hunter inventory the other day— but I don’t think I can get access to my old inventory in the RP dungeon.

But still, there could be another bonus for being time-limited.

“Inventory.”

[The inventory of the Hunter ‘Shin Yuri’ stored in the RP Dungeon Limited Galaxy Server cannot be opened.] 

As I expected.

But immediately after that, another system window popped up.

[Summoning the inventory of the useless ordinary citizen “Senia de Forlain”] 

Hey! The word useless is too much!

But when I saw the inventory window, I realized that it really was useless.

“There’s only one space in inventory?”

How amazing. Seriously. 

And of course, neither my flashy items nor my delicious dungeon snack was in that space.

In other words, it was just an empty space.

Wow! It’s amazing! Amazing! I need a drink!

Even for ordinary people who had just awakened without the system assigning them a Hunter rank, they got to have at least five storage spaces in the inventory. I rubbed my forehead in frustration.

[Inventory space increases in proportion with stats.]

[You can randomly bring the inventory items of “Hunter Shin Yuri” with the “Galaxy Key” at God’s Store that just opened.] 

“Oh.”

Usually, you could not access your own inventory stored in the galaxy server once you entered the RP dungeon.

It seemed to be a special occasion for this dungeon.

“So, how do I raise my stats?”

I rubbed my eyes when I saw the conditions for raising the stats.

Usually, the conditions for S-class hunters were something grand such as saving 10,000 people or slaying 50,000 monsters. But I guess it would be different for a useless ordinary citizen.

[Stats can be raised by quests that appear during daily life.]

I guess I just have to take care of my health first. With that thought, I jumped up.

“Oh, my Lady?”

The door opened and a maid entered the room. Her eyes widened when she saw me.

The maid was cute with fluffy blonde hair. She immediately rushed towards me and began fussing.

“Did you get up? By yourself?”

“Then would the bedsheets have helped me up?”

“Yes?”

When I realized what I just said, I almost slapped my own mouth.

[Rules of the RP dungeon]

[1. Make sure to maintain the social position of the character. 

If you reveal that you are a hunter who came here through the galaxy server, an otherworlder, the RP dungeon will fail immediately. 

Dungeon failure could receive a penalty from a slight drop in level or rank to even death.

“I, I just woke up.”

I answered vaguely in a small voice.

How should I know how a noble lady talks?

“Oh my— Oh my!”

However, the maid seemed to be shocked just by seeing me standing there and didn’t seem to know what to do.

What’s wrong with this kid? 

“Master! Young Master!”

The maid suddenly rushed to the door. 

What?

“W, wait!”
There was no need for you to go find the Master or Young Master, you know? 

The maid, who was about to run out the door, stopped.

“Yes, Lady?! Please tell me anything you want!”

Her whole face was lit up with joy.

From her reaction, it seemed Senia de Forlain had been bedridden for a long time. 

“I— want to eat something.”

Something delicious, if possible. 

It would be even better if it was salmon sushi seared with a blowtorch.

—But I swallowed the words. 

Because I didn’t want to get a review on the violation of the RP dungeon rules.

But after hearing what I said, the maid’s eyes got even wider.

“Really?!”

Was she always this excited when I ate? 

“I’ll tell the chef right away! I’ll tell them to bring special dishes only!” 

With that, she quickly left the room.

—Bang! 

My body trembled as the door was slammed shut.

[-1]

[Damaged by excessive sound waves] 

“?”

[Stamina 9/10] 

Did I just take 1 damage from someone slamming the door shut? 

If they closed the door like that 10 times, then it would be completely emptied, right? My jaw dropped in disbelief. 

*****

The reason why the maid made such a racket was soon revealed when the family members came running over to me. 

“Senia, what do you want to eat?”

“In the polar regions, even a mushroom can save me.” 

What’s that? Mushrooms in the polar regions too? Mushrooms are so pitiful.

Anyway, it seemed my family members were obviously very anxious because they couldn’t do anything for me.

“How long has it been, Senia?” 

“Are you finally going to get up?” The two brothers asked with shining eyes.

“Because I can’t just lie in bed— forever.”

If I don’t get out of bed, how am I supposed to prevent the collapse of the continent?

Of course, I didn’t say those words out loud. Their expressions changed after hearing what I said. 

“Finally—! Have you decided to live a new life?” 

The man, who appeared to be my father, was over the moon. 

It was also the same with the woman whom I believed was my mother.

“Yeah, even if you are ill, life could still be enjoyed in many places. That’s good thinking, Senia.”

Ah.

At those words, I had a light-bulb moment.

It seemed the original Lady miserably decided to spend the remainder of her life just laying in bed because of her chronic illness.

It was a gloomy setting as the name of the dungeon implied.

Of course, even though I was stuck like this, I had no intention to risk dying from failing to complete the dungeon.

“Because— I don’t want to live like this anymore.”

However, I couldn’t tell them the truth. So I gave a vague sentimental answer. 

Their faces brightened at my answer.

“Good, good, good! Hurry up and bring something to eat!”

“What do you want to eat, Senia?”

The person who asked me the question had a name written above his head.

He was clearly very familiar with 

‘Senia de Forlain’.

[Kikal de Forlain (A)] 

According to the status window, he seemed to be Senia’s oldest brother. There was also a sword mark next to the name. 

Is he a dealer? 

But there was some kind of black smoke around the mark. It looked very suspicious.  

I remember the mark for Shin Jaeheon was not like that.

The sword mark on Shin Jaeheon’s status window was that of a clean and sharp sword.

So, what’s up with this guy’s mark?

Even though I tried to get a closer look, I couldn’t see it clearly because it was obscured by the smoke.

The second brother who was standing next to Kikal also had a similar sword mark with a strange smoke floating around it.

[Licas de Forlain (B)]

“I just—want to eat something delicious.” 

However, I couldn’t just stand there and stare at the heads of Kikal and Licas all day. So I absentmindedly answered them.

And I really needed to ask them to take me to a good restaurant around the neighborhood. 

“Okay, let’s start with a light soup first!”

“Yes, I understand!”

[Jin de Forlain (A)]

Belatedly, I checked the window above the head of the middle-aged man and it said “Father”.

The title ‘Viscount Forlain of the Karman Empire’ was also written next to it. 

Uhm, Senia’s father. Okay, so this was the Viscount family. Then I guess I was a daughter of a Viscount. 

It was weird to say that I was a member of the Viscount family from Shin Jaeheon’s Empire. But anyway, I was a noble at least.

This would be a hopeless situation if I was not a noble!

“Why don’t you have something to soothe your stomach first and then try something more delicious later?” 

My father, the Viscount Forlain, told me comfortingly. 

My mother, ‘Aste de Forlain’, who was standing next to him, slapped his arm. 

“The child still won’t leave the room! Go bring some meat skewers that Senia likes!” 

Then she sat in front of me and looked into my eyes.

“Senia, didn’t you like eating skewers while enjoying the cool breeze? After a long time of staying cooped up in this room, would you like to go outside with me?”

I was very willing to get out of the room, even if I could only manage one step outside the room. 

I nodded because as Senia Porori, I had no intention of doing anything depressing anymore.

“Okay. Let’s go out!”

“….!!!!”

My family covered their mouths, stunned. 

There seemed to be some story behind that. 

“Ah.”

But whatever their story was, my story was more important.

I glanced at them.

“But it’s a little bit hard—”

I could die just from the door being slammed ten times—.

I didn’t have to finish my sentence. They understood me immediately.

“What are you doing? Come and help her!”

Mother, the Viscountess Forlain beckoned. 

A knight immediately ran over and helped me carefully. 

Maybe because the body had laid on the bed for far too long, the soles of my feet were painfully stiff as I took a step.

[-1]

[The floor is too hard] 

Am I a Mola Mola? (T/N: it means fragile, Mola Mola is the name of a fish who dies too easily.) 

I looked at the stamina window that popped up again [8/10] with a blank expression.

I’m not going to die from taking another 8 steps, right? 

I never thought I would be so nervous about walking.

[….]

Fortunately, the system window remained silent. 

Phew! 

*****

When I stepped out of the door with help, the first thing I saw was a wide hallway. 

“Ha! Haaa!” 

I heard shouts coming from outside the window.

They were from the knights training outside.

“Oh—”

It was an amazing sight.

The sword marks were clearly floating above their heads. 

It was truly a spectacular sight to see dozens of dealers who could use no less than one secondary skill and wield their weapons at the same time.

If Joo Yian saw this, he would probably rub his forehead in resignation.

He would probably complain saying, “It would be hard for one healer to take care of more than three dealers.”

Nevertheless, he would eventually miraculously heal us with a grumpy face.

At that thought, I unwittingly let out a laugh.

“Senia—”

Oh, I think I must have been staring for a little too long.

I quickly turned to look at them.

And saw that all four of them were looking at me with emotional eyes.

What is wrong with all of you?
