## Chapter 159 – 159. Dungeon Survival
159. Dungeon Survival
“Your expression is sour.”
At Kang Seok-soo’s words, I quickly managed my expression. I never imagined I would meet Kang Seok-soo here, so I couldn’t control my face for a moment.
“What a coincidence. You know this is a no-combat zone, right?”
There are cameras outside, and association staff are probably monitoring as well. If we fight in the cabin, association staff will intervene in less than a minute. And we’ll all be disqualified.
“I know. I have no intention of fighting here.”
I can trust that. Kang Seok-soo is clearly aiming for victory, so he will abide by the rules of the dungeon survival.
While Kang Seok-soo and I were staring at each other, Han Ha-rin, who was behind me, moved first. She glanced at Kang Seok-soo, then turned around and began to look around inside the cabin.
“That woman seems to be trying to rest. You should rest too, without worrying about us. Isn’t that why you came here?”
Kang Seok-soo said to me.
“Don’t do anything foolish. I’ll be watching.”
I warned Kang Seok-soo once and then started to move, following Han Ha-rin.
My hardened face still couldn’t relax.
‘Ugh. Shit.’
All I could do was curse.
‘No matter how I think about it, I’m screwed.’
The rest area is available once a day. Only for 1 hour. The standard is midnight. I came here because I thought I would lose out if the number of times I could use it decreased after midnight, but it seems like a mistake.
‘If I had come about an hour later, I wouldn’t have met that bastard.’
As I was pondering if there was a way out, following behind Han Ha-rin, I stopped when I saw a blonde woman suddenly appear. She’s one of Kang Seok-soo’s teammates.
Her blonde hair was wet, as if she had just finished showering, and she was wearing a gown over her slender body. Her long, cool arms and legs were attractive.
“Oh, what? You guys came here too?”
She didn’t seem to care that her collarbone and thighs were visible through the gown. She was quite open.
As we were looking at her without saying anything, she looked at me and Han Ha-rin and smiled.
“You two are definitely together. I could just feel it.”
I almost gasped. I couldn’t believe she could figure out our relationship right away. I knew she was no pushover.
“Don’t say unnecessary things and please move aside?”
Han Ha-rin retorted coldly.
“There’s a bathhouse here. It’s divided into men’s and women’s baths. It’s not big, but it’s decent enough. Since we’ve met like this, how about we introduce ourselves? I’m Yoo Jung-mi. I’m a D-class hunter and I work with Seok-soo.”
“…Han Ha-rin.”
Han Ha-rin only revealed her name and then passed by Yoo Jung-mi and entered the bathhouse.
“She has big boobs but is a cold woman. Lightning guy, what about you?”
Yoo Jung-mi asked me. If it had been Kang Seok-soo instead of her, I would have immediately flipped him off, but she was a stunning beauty.
“I’m Sung Yu-jin, the leader of the Gukcheondae Hunter team. Are you and Kang Seok-soo lovers?”
“Lovers? No. We went to elementary, middle, and high school together. We’ve been friends since we were kids.”
It seems she’s Kang Seok-soo’s childhood friend.
“It’s been a while, so you could say we’re more than friends but less than lovers? But I think Seok-soo only sees me as a friend.”
Yoo Jung-mi smiled meaningfully. It seems she has some romantic feelings for Kang Seok-soo.
“I see. Then I should take a bath too. The time we can spend here is limited.”
“Okay. The women’s bath has nice warm water.”
“I guess the men’s bath will be the same.”
“You’re surprisingly nice? When I saw you destroying the food box a few hours ago, I thought you were even more eccentric than Seok-soo.”
“That was just a concept. From the viewers’ perspective, that kind of character is more memorable.”
I said with a smile. Actually, it wasn’t a concept, it was genuine. I genuinely thought that if I couldn’t have it, I would destroy it, and used Man-roe.
“Then, good luck. Oh, there’s a laundry room on the second floor.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
We parted with a smile. Even though we are competitors in the dungeon survival, in the end, the dungeon survival is just a broadcast program. There’s no need to kill each other over what happened during the broadcast.
‘Well, Eun Sang-min probably wants to kill Kang Seok-soo.’
Even if he didn’t die, he had to feel the pain of his whole body burning for tens of seconds. It’s inevitable that he would harbor resentment towards Kang Seok-soo.
‘I didn’t expect Eun Sang-min to be eliminated just 3 hours after the dungeon survival started. This is quite a big crisis.’
More than 30% of our power has been cut. It’s not good for me, who is aiming for victory since I participated.
‘…Eun Sang-min, you moron. Shouldn’t a C-class hunter be careful of traps?’
He’s a guy who has never been helpful in my life.
I cursed Eun Sang-min in my head, but I knew it was pointless since it was already in the past, so I stopped.
‘Let’s think positively. Thanks to that bastard being eliminated, only Han Ha-rin and I are left. If he’s not here, we just need to be careful of the cameras….’
I looked to the right and left. The right door had the word “Men” written on it, and the left door had the word “Women” written on it.
I naturally opened the door to the women’s bath. There was a small dressing room. There were only 4 lockers, and next to them were a few gowns and towels, as well as disposable shampoos and toothbrushes on a table.
I looked at the bath. The transparency was low, so I could only tell that someone was inside.
‘It must be Han Ha-rin. I saw her go in earlier.’
There are only two women in this building. Han Ha-rin and Yoo Jung-mi. Yoo Jung-mi is outside, so it can only be Han Ha-rin. I quickly took off my clothes and opened the bathroom door.
There was a tub, but it was a wooden bathtub.
Han Ha-rin was occupying one of the only two showerheads.
“What, what is it? Why are you here?! The men’s bath is next door!”
“Come on. Of course, I came to help my senior wash.”
I smiled lewdly and approached her. Han Ha-rin looked at my stiff cock and sighed.
“We’re filming. Can’t you wait a week?”
“I don’t think I can. Senior.”
I slowly approached her.
“And this is a rest area, so there are no cameras, and no one is watching. It’s okay, right?”
I reached out my hands towards Han Ha-rin. I grabbed one of her large H-cup breasts with each hand. But they were so big that it was impossible for my hands to cover her breasts.
“…Haa. I can’t help it. Just once.”
I lowered my left hand and touched her vulva. It was hot and wet.
The reason it was wet was probably not just because she had taken a shower.
•••
“Tsk.”
I clicked my tongue, looking out the window on the second floor of the rest area.
Outside the cabin, three members of Kang Seok-soo’s team were sitting leaning against a tree, waiting for us.
The reason I thought I was screwed as soon as I saw him here was because of this.
Kang Seok-soo’s team, who arrived before us, left the rest area first and were waiting for us to come out.
The rest area rule only applies inside this cabin, not outside. As soon as we step out, they will attack us.
‘Damn it. They set up trap magic near the cabin.’
Magic circles are drawn near the cabin. I don’t know if it’s the same magic that eliminated Eun Sang-min in one go, but it’s certain that we can’t recklessly escape through the window.
If we go out, we will 100% fight Kang Seok-soo’s team. Considering Kang Seok-soo’s skills and the number of his team members, the possibility of us losing is very high. We must avoid fighting Kang Seok-soo’s team.
‘The problem is that there’s no reason for Kang Seok-soo’s team to back down.’
Those guys will definitely spend the night here. One person will watch us, and two will sleep leaning against the tree.
If we come out, they can fight us and eliminate us, and if we don’t leave the cabin, we will receive a penalty, so it doesn’t matter to them either way.
‘This is really fucked up.’
This thought came to my mind as soon as I entered the rest area and faced him.
They will stay until at least 5 a.m. Because the food box will be delivered at 6 a.m. They wouldn’t want to miss the food box two times in a row.
‘The penalty given in the rest area is -3 survival points per minute. Even if it resets at midnight… it’s a penalty of at least -900 survival points.’
Considering that the survival points I received when hunting a D-class monster, the Giant Scorpion, was 5, -900 survival points is a huge loss. At this point, it’s safe to say that winning is out of the question.
“You cowardly bastards!!”
I shouted out the window. I felt like I would die of frustration if I didn’t do that.
“Cowardly? This is clearly one of the strategies. Wouldn’t you have used this method if you were in my position?”
In a way, it was similar to the concept of siege and defense in ancient wars.
“Hey, please let us off just this once!”
I asked, swallowing my shame. But Kang Seok-soo shook his head.
“You only have two choices. Come out and fight us, or hide inside like a rat.”
As expected, he had no intention of backing down.
‘But what’s with the rat? Rat. Does that bastard know this is a broadcast program?’
I slightly shifted my gaze to the side. Four association staff members with cameras were filming us from a short distance away. Kang Seok-soo is a strong candidate for victory, so there are many cameras following him.
We can’t attack from the inside out either. If we did, we would be eliminated immediately.
“……I won’t forget this!”
I slammed the wooden window shut irritably. Then I turned my gaze downward. I asked Han Ha-rin, who was kneeling on the floor and quietly sucking me off.
“Senior. What should we do?”
“…Um. Wouldn’t it be better to pretend to fight and then run away?”
My cock came out of Han Ha-rin’s mouth. The hard part was glistening with saliva.
“They’re prepared, so it won’t be easy to run away.”
“You’re the leader of the team. I’ll follow your opinion.”
Han Ha-rin got up from her seat. She checked her condition while putting on her clothes. It seems she thinks I’m going to fight Kang Seok-soo.
I looked at the tablet.
〉The time you can stay in the rest area is 4 minutes and 20 seconds.
I put the tablet on the table. And I pulled Han Ha-rin into my arms.
“Don’t tell me… you’re not thinking of that, right?”
“Probably. I think I am?”
My hands began to caress her ample breasts and buttocks.
“Are you out of your mind?”
“There’s no other way. The chances of escaping from those guys here are low, and the chances of winning are non-existent. Then it’s better not to go out from here.”
I buried my face in Han Ha-rin’s neck and started kissing her collarbone.
“Hng… What about the penalty?”
“It can’t be helped. We have to deal with it.”
“Are you giving up?”
“No. In the dungeon survival, survival points are just one of the conditions for winning.”
Dungeon survival is, as the name suggests, survival.
The last one to survive is the winner. Survival points are to determine the winner among those who survive until the end.
In other words, if you eliminate all the participants before the dungeon survival ends, you can win even if you don’t have any survival points.
“Senior. Do you trust me? We can win.”
“…Can I really trust you?”
“Of course. I’ve never lied to you, not even about the special mana massage.”
Han Ha-rin began to grab my cock with her white, slender hands. I took off her clothes and took her to the bed on one side of the room.
•••
4 a.m.
Kang Seok-soo looked at the cabin.
As a result of taking turns sleeping and watching with his teammates, Sung Yu-jin and Han Ha-rin were not coming out of the cabin. It seems they have given up and are sleeping.
‘If it were me, I would have come out and fought.’
Isn’t it too pathetic to give up without even fighting? Of course, it’s not certain that they’re eliminated yet. But with about -900 survival points, it’s as good as being eliminated. It’s impossible to win with those points.
Kang Seok-soo looked at Choi Sa-hyun, who had just woken up next to him, staring at the cabin with a dazed face.
“Choi Sa-hyun. How is it?”
“……I don’t know. It seems like there’s a barrier around that building. I was too tired yesterday to notice… but it’s not that. It’s a barrier beyond my level.”
Choi Sa-hyun is a combat mage who uses a spear. His ability is sensing, and he can sense various things such as people, monsters, and unusual objects within 300 meters.
“I see.”
Kang Seok-soo nodded indifferently. There is a barrier around that building. It is difficult to grasp the inside from the outside, and if a battle breaks out inside, it will immediately send a signal to the Hunter Association.
“Seok-soo hyung. It’s almost 6 o’clock. Are you going to give up on the food again this time?”
