The Dungeon's S-Class Time-limited Lady

“If only you didn’t have the lung disease—” 

The Viscountess Forlain said with regret. And the Viscount rubbed his forehead. 

“The fate of the Forlain family and Senia would have been different.” 

They were truly sorry. Then the Viscountess asked cautiously. 

“Did the knights interest you that much?” 

“Yes.” 

They definitely stood out. All those 40 pure dealers. That was awesome. 

“Then why don’t you try holding a sword again after so long?” 

A sword? I looked at the poor health bar with [8/10] written on it. 

Then, I looked at the Viscountess again. 

“That’s—” 

What if I break my arm while lifting the sword? Will I fail the dungeon? 

As my answer trailed off like that, the Viscountess’s shoulders drooped again. 

No, don’t be so disappointed! I’ll listen to you someday! 

When, um— When my HP is over 1000? When I stopped being a useless ordinary person? 

Oh, it’s very upsetting to think about the word ‘useless’ again. 

Being referred to as ‘useless’ was a shock to my ears and eyes who had been an outstanding S-class hunter.

I really want to discard that term as soon as possible. 

System, are these punks screwing with people? 

“Don’t rush, my dear.” 

The Viscount patted the Viscountess’s shoulder comfortingly. 

My second brother, Licas de Forlin, who was next to Kikal also said. 
AD
“That’s right, Mother, besides— the ‘Succession Ceremony’ is already over. Even if Senia gets better now—” 

My second brother’s shoulders drooped. 

Succession Ceremony? What’s that? 

The moment I thought of that question, the quest window popped up. 

[Sub-Quest: Forlain Family Succession Ceremony] 

Oh man, that was a fast response. I quickly looked through the quest window. 

[Forlain is a famous warrior family, and regardless of the order in which they were born, those with excellent swordsmanship could inherit the family through the ‘Succession Ceremony’. 
AD
After Senia de Forlain had lung disease, the current heir to the Forlain family was ‘Kikal de Forlain’. 

If it weren’t for the lung disease, the position would have belonged to 

Senia de Forlain. Let’s hold the Succession Ceremony again to get a chance to become a successor.] 

[Reward: Full HP +100] 

Wow, 10 times my current HP! What an amazing reward! 

So, if it wasn’t for lung disease, Senia would have become the successor? 

Was Senia talented in swordsmanship? 

But he said the Succession Ceremony is already over? 

I raised my eyebrows. 

At the bottom of the quest window, there were warnings written in small letters like those warnings that came in an assurance CF. 

[In principle, the Forlain family succession ceremony cannot be repeated.] 

So what do you want me to do???? 

Hunter Shin Yuri was dumbfounded and has logged out! 

It’s already over. So what do you want me to do? 

Meanwhile, the stairs at the end of the hallway spread out before me. 

[Not enough HP : (5/10)] 

Even though I had help, my HP had gone down. My vision blurred. 

“Let’s take a break here.” 

If I go down the stairs like this, I will die! 

I raised my hand and the maid moved hurriedly. 

In an instant, a cushioned chair and a fluffy blanket were prepared for me. 

Fortunately, the cushion was soft, so there was no decrease in my HP, saying that the chair was hard. 

[During a break…] 

[You’ll recover 10% of your HP every 10 minutes] 

Wow! Thank you! 50 minutes to fill the full HP! 

It was a time when I thought like that. 
AD
“Ah. Lady, you’re here!” 

A chef came running. 

He had a bowl of hot soup in his hand. 

The maids quickly set up a table in front of me. 

The soup was placed on the table, and next to it was a green skewer or something. 

Uhm, it was like eating ramen on the veranda at home. A refreshing feeling.

It also tasted better, eating with the windows open on the stairs. 
AD
Besides, there was a beautiful scene unfolding before my eyes, where 40 pure dealers were training. 

It’s good to eat while watching—. 

[Dust is blowing] 

[Breathed in the dust.]

“…Could you close the window?” 

The family members’ expressions crumpled again at my request. 

“Yeah, it’s still hard to see the knights. It must be so.” 

They nodded as if they understood. 

No, it’s not like that. Do you know the sorrow of only having a total of HP 10? 

“You should try this.” 

The Viscountess put a spoon in my hand. 

The soup in front of me had cooled down enough for me to eat. 

Uhm, I don’t think burning the roof of my mouth will make my HP drop. 

But, my eyes almost popped out when I saw the information about the soup. 

[Golden button mushroom soup] 

[It is a super-luxury soup made by cutting golden button mushrooms with 70,000 gold per flower. It’s like making soup by cutting Dungeon Mountain’s reishi mushrooms.] 

[If you eat it, your HP will be FULL.] 

The bottom line was not even read. 

My jaw dropped at the friendly explanation in the upper row. 

Are you crazy! Making soup with Dungeon reishi mushrooms! 

It was one of the rare properties that can increase the limit of FULL HP, which asked for hundreds of millions of won at market price even if it was just 3cm in diameter. 

But it was only useful when you eat the whole thing. In short, it means that if you cut it up like this, it becomes an ordinary mushroom. 

“Go ahead and try it.” 

The Viscountess held my hand while holding the spoon tightly. 

Yeah— What can I do when it’s already cut? 

I put the golden button mushroom soup in my mouth as if swallowing an apartment in one bite. 

“….!” 

And all memories of useless capital, such as apartments, flew out of my mind. 

This taste. This feeling. 

The taste of this smooth soup is like hugging your tongue. 

I was thrilled by the salty taste I had felt in a long time. What’s more, the texture of this soft, chewy golden button mushroom is—. 

“…It’s delicious.” 

The words popped out of my mouth without me realizing it. 

The moment I said that the quest clear window popped up. 

[The Sub-Quest Train Your Stamina Clear!] 

[As a reward, FULL HP increases by 3.] 

[Current HP: 7/13] 

Wow! It’s so easy to raise the spec! 

Just as I was celebrating in my mind, the Hunter chat dinged. 

[Ivan Eletia von Karman (Shin Jaeheon) >> The meeting just ended.] 

It was Shin Jaeheon, who became a part of the royal family. As I was about to reply, he continued. 

[Ivan Eletia von Karman (Shin Jaeheon) >> But things are a bit off.] 

[Senia de Forlain (Shin Yuri)>> Why?] 

[Ivan Eletia von Karman (Shin Jaeheon)>> I think it’ll take a long time to clear this.] 

It was really serious if Shin Jaeheon, who is playful in everything, spoke so seriously. 

[Senia de Forlain (Yuri Shin)>> Is the individual quest difficult?] 

[Ivan Eletia von Karman (Shin Jaeheon)>> Yes, a little.] 

Well, due to the nature of the RP dungeon, it was highly likely that individual quests would also be difficult if they become a character with a high position like a member of the royal family. 

[Ivan Eletia von Karman (Shin Jaeheon)>> First of all, did you know I’m the Emperor?] 

[Senia de Forlain (Shin Yuri)>> What?] 

“?” 

I blinked. He isn’t just a member of the royal family. But is actually the Emperor? 

And here I was, wondering how he was related to the Emperor. 

However, Shin Jaeheon wasn’t done with his news. 

[Ivan Eletia von Karman (Shin Jaeheon)>> And my quest is to strengthen the power of the Emperor because the Emperor was weak. When I was at the meeting, people there were only talking nonsense, so I saw that it was all in vain.] 

His chat came up one after another. 

[Ivan Eletia von Karman (Shin Jaeheon)>> So I’m going to crush them all. Who wants to come to commemorate me?] 

[Senia de Forlain (Shin Yuri)>> Me, me, me, me, me, me, me.] 

Isn’t this really beneficial? 

I had a sub-quest to become the successor of the family. 

I didn’t know about the vassals, but if it was the Emperor of an Empire that rules over the nobility, wouldn’t it be possible for him to give the order to have the aristocratic succession ceremony again? 

For a moment when I thought things were going to go smoothly. 

‘Hunter Shin Yuri. Stop bringing up such embarrassing stories like that—’ 

The handsome man with light brown hair was shy and would occasionally cover his face, which was amazing every time I saw him. 

In addition, even with his ability, it was very rare to see him take off his glasses and wash his face—. 

[Ariensa Sian Demar (Joo Yian-ssi)>> Because of the situations of the RP dungeon, I think it will be difficult to meet with Hunter Shin Jaeheon.] 

[Ivan Eletia von Karman (Shin Jaeheon)>> There is no rule that hunters can’t meet, right?] 

[Ariensa Sian Demar (Juian)>> That’s true, but it is said that the relationship between the Cynthian Church where I live and the Karman Empire Imperial family is very bad.] 

What does this mean? I blinked. 

[Ivan Eletia von Karman (Shin Jaeheon)>> Oh, I heard that too. They said that we should keep the Cynthian Church in check.] 

Then Shin Jaeheon’s chat came up. 

[Ivan Eletia von Karman (Shin Jaeheon)>> In particular, the system said that I will get a bonus reward if I take the Pope’s head. Hunter Joo Yian, please give me the information of the Pope there.] 

[Ariensa Sian Demar (Joo Yian-ssi)>> I can give you information, but—] 

He seemed to be having some trouble answering. 

[Ariensa Sian Demar (Joo Yian-ssi)>> I am the Pope.] 

“?” 

My jaw dropped, not caring whether or not my family saw me. 

Not only was Shin Jaeheon the Emperor, but Joo Yian was also the Pope. 

But forcing us to choose between the two? Which jerk made the dungeon? 

I put down the spoon and rubbed my face with both hands. 

Breaking an RP dungeon was easy, but it seemed they would have to fight with each other. 

The only hope was Hunter So Yeri. 

She said she’s the Lord of Magic Tower! So please do something! 

And later in the day, I found out that the Karman Empire was a kingdom fiercely controlled by the three powers; the Imperial Family, the Church, and the Magic Tower.
