After sleeping a bit, Kim Dokja seemed to have already made a contract with Gong Pildu's Sponsor.
Kim Dokja had entrusted piles of Magic Power Potions to Lee Hyunsung and Yoo Sangah and was preparing to go somewhere.
"Haaam..."
"Ah, you're awake."
Sleeping while sitting at the station made my body feel quite stiff.
Even if I'm the strongest, do I need to sleep well to maintain my condition?
I immediately got up and stretched to loosen my body.
"Are you awake?"
"Ah, Dokja-ssi."
I stopped stretching as Kim Dokja approached me.
"I was about to wake you up, but this works out well."
"Huh?"
"We have to go catch a cheeky guy who ran out to get items all by himself."
"Ah, you mean Joonghyuk?"
At my blunt remark, Kim Dokja chuckled and nodded.
"Who's going? Doesn't look like everyone is."
"Gilyoung, Heewon-ssi, and Lee Jihye."
"I see."
Just like the original.
The only difference is that I, who was always around, am added.
"Then are we going right away?"
"Yes."
I immediately put my arm around Dokja's shoulder.
"Then let's go~!"
"Wait, Gang-hoon-ssi."
"Hm?"
I was about to move forward but stopped dead in my tracks at Kim Dokja's call.
"Can you see ahead?"
Suddenly asking if I can see?
What is he talking ab... Ah.
"I can see well even with the blindfold on."
"I'm pretty sure I couldn't see anything when I wore it, though."
Hm? I don't remember lending him this blindfold.
"You tried it on?"
"I was curious, so I tried it once."
Curiosity is understandable.
"Well, it's that. That. My eyes are different."
"...Ah, I see."
Kim Dokja fell into thought, trying hard to understand my words.
Well, what ordinary person would understand with an explanation like that?
Exit 1 of B1.
We arrived at the entrance of the Theater Dungeon.
[You have discovered a 'Hidden Dungeon'!]
[This dungeon has already been discovered by someone. You cannot achieve the first discovery achievement.]
We haven't even been gone long, but we've already arrived.
Indeed, a Hidden Dungeon seems to be something close yet far.
< Hidden Scenario - Theater Dungeon >
Category: Hidden
Difficulty: A-
Clear Condition: Defeat the master of the Theater Dungeon.
Time Limit: None
Reward: 4000 Coins
Penalty for Failure: -
Checking parts of the hidden scenario, my eyes naturally went to the reward.
4000 Coins.
"Gives a lot of Coins. Seems the most among the scenarios we've done so far."
"Since it's a Hidden Dungeon, and the difficulty is high, the reward should be good."
"You mean there are additional rewards during the dungeon progression, right?"
"Yes."
Emphasizing the words 'additional rewards', I grinned while looking at Heewon.
"Maybe Heewon-ssi can get her sword here?"
"That would be nice~"
Yeah. She'll finally get a proper sword. She should be happy.
She'll probably be ecstatic.
"Then, let's go in."
[You have entered the 'Theater Dungeon'!]
Following Kim Dokja, we opened the theater doors and went inside.
Unlike a normal movie theater, it was gloomy and desolate... it definitely felt like someone had passed through.
"Posters are torn everywhere."
"Indeed."
"Let's go up for now. Seems there's nothing here."
We immediately climbed the stairs and looked around.
Then, we stopped at the sound of people's voices and pricked up our ears.
"Already torn up a lot. Are you sure about this?"
"There's one left here."
Men's voices I haven't heard before.
Voices of strangers that shouldn't be heard here reached our ears.
"It better be worth the 1000 Coins we paid those Prophets for the info, right?"
"It should be. Those guys are gloomy, but they give reliable information, so it's useful."
I glanced at Kim Dokja.
"What are those guys?"
"Probably guys who entered through the surface entrance..."
"Wait, surface entrance? There's poisonous fog there. Plus, the scenario..."
"The type and progression speed of scenarios differ by station. They must be guys who finished the scenario faster than our station."
The men stopped in front of a movie poster, and a blue spotlight turned on from the air, enveloping the men in bright light.
"What's this...?"
And they disappeared right before our eyes.
"What... is that?"
Jung Heewon asked Kim Dokja, but Kim Dokja didn't answer and stuck to the wall, searching the posters one by one.
Probably to check what was left.
"Of all things..."
Just then, the light that enveloped the men earlier enveloped us, and we were revealed under the spotlight.
"Heewon-ssi, do you like movies?"
"Of course. Doesn't everyone usually like them?"
"I'm more of an anime person than movies."
"Is that so? Well... then, you might start disliking movies from now on."
"Excuse me?"
[You have been hit by the projection beam.]
[The screening of the floor begins.]
Behind the rising message window, the surrounding scenery slowly changed.
The completely changed scenery was a dense rainforest.
Like a massive rainforest that wouldn't exist in present times.
"This is...?"
"Inside a movie."
"Only absurd things happen, really."
Actually, this much isn't even fascinating anymore.
We've experienced all sorts of weird things coming here. No reason to be fascinated now.
I took off my blindfold to take in the changed scenery and assess the situation.
[The Constellation, 'Demon-like Judge of Fire', wonders what you are seeing.]
What am I seeing, huh.
I turned my gaze, sensing the presence of something huge in the distance.
"Wow... there's a dinosaur."
"Dinosaur?!"
"Yeah. Must be that one? The movie about reviving dinosaurs in the modern era."
After confirming the dinosaur's existence, I approached Gilyoung, who was slightly away from the group near the bushes.
"Anything there?"
"Yes."
Right after Gilyoung answered, a rustling sound came from the bushes, and an insect looking like a mantis popped out. Lee Gilyoung immediately reached out to the insect.
"I don't think this one is a dinosaur."
"No. This is a Titanoptera, an insect from the Triassic period."
"I see. You know well?"
"I'm at that age."
True. Among kids Gilyoung's age, there are many boys who like dinosaurs, right?
I smirked and patted Gilyoung's head.
The ability to commune with insects will be useful anywhere.
You capable little kid.
"He... what is he?"
"Fabre."
Boom.
Around the time Lee Jihye and Kim Dokja were talking while looking at Gilyoung.
A loud booming sound began to be heard from afar.
Wondering what that boom sound was, Jung Heewon turned her head toward the sound, and I looked that way too.
"What is this sound?"
"Interesting."
"Did you see what it is?"
"Yeah."
In the first place, I knew of its existence since I arrived here.
It was clearly visible when I looked around with my naked eyes.
"Anyone want to take on a dinosaur?"
At my question, the group racked their brains a bit and started thinking.
"I'd like to avoid it if possible..."
"Me too, dinosaurs are a bit..."
"I do want to try fighting it."
"Seems doable."
What are you saying, Gilyoung-Gilyoung-ah.
Anyway, starting with Kim Dokja, the group voiced their thoughts.
So that means...
"Then, by majority vote, I'll take it on."
"Was that the topic of our conversation?"
"Dokja-ssi and Heewon-ssi said they didn't want to fight, and the other two said they wanted to. So we should go with my opinion."
"What kind of logic is that..."
I started stretching while looking at the huge something rushing towards us, causing vibrations.
Maybe because I stretched right after waking up earlier?
My body feels quite limber.
"Aaaargh!! Save me!!!"
Hearing the screams of the guys who entered first, the thing from the past that could only be seen in videos, photos, or pictures appeared vividly before us.
"C-Crazy! That's that! The famous carnivorous dinosaur!"
"Tyrannosaurus?"
"Ah! Right! Tyrannosaurus!"
"It's a Rex."
"That's not what's important!"
Leaving Gilyoung and Jihye's conversation behind, I took a few steps ahead of the group.
"Shall I try something slightly violent?"
"W-what are you trying to do! We need to run first...!"
"Why run?"
I turned back to the group and smiled brightly.
"My condition is really good right now."
An open space after a long time.
A free space where I don't need to hold back.
In this space, I can finally use it properly.
"Good. A big stage like this needs a big technique to match."
I took a deep breath and extended my hand toward the dinosaur.
"Hollow Technique: Purple."
Vwoooooom.
A large purple sphere was fired, pushing away everything in the area.
"Yeah, this is the Purple I know."
[You have successfully hunted the 7th grade Earth Dragon species 'Tyrannosaurus Rex' for the first time!]
[You have acquired 1000 Coins as a reward.]
[The Theater Master is satisfied with the changed ending of the movie.]
[You can now move to the next floor.]
"...No, wasn't that your full power last time?"
"I never said that was my full power?"
In the first place, the current power isn't full power either.
"...Anyway. Just do it like this."
"The Theater Master. Don't know who it is, but they're seriously obsessed with catharsis (cider)."
"I think so too."
At Jung Heewon and Kim Dokja's words, the group including me nodded.
How should I put it, yeah. seems like they'd enjoy munchkin stories.
