Chapter 11: Sss-Grade Afe In Front Of The Dungeon —
Translated by cabinfourtranslations.
Fortunately, James drank all the coffee mix without spitting it out.
As soon as the paper cup was empty, I blinked at Kwon Jiwoon. He quickly used his healing skill.
I watched anxiously as the healing light was absorbed into James’ body.
Please.
I muttered to myself several times.
“Cough, cough!”
James coughed and opened his eyes. The dark complexion gradually returned to normal.
Thank Goodness. He’s alive now.
“Ugh … This is.…?”
“Are you awake?”
He hadn’t fully woken up yet, but they said he was fine now that he had regained consciousness.
“What did you feed him earlier?”
After James was taken to the hospital, Hunter Han Yiseong asked me. He must be wondering what kind of drink that successfully helped the healing process.
“That….”
I didn’t mean to keep it a secret forever. I’ve awakened, but I’m still hesitant to reveal that my coffee has such an effect.
Even though I didn’t know much about Hunter, I knew that ‘Cafe in My Hand‘ was a pretty good skill because Mieum said that I am the only one who can give an effect to coffee like this.
Still, my body is a F-class.
It is burdensome to get the attention if I informed others about this skill of mine now.
My goal is always to be a cafe owner in a quiet place.
I know how much attention Kwon Jiwoon suffered after awakened as a healer. Reporters came to the school we attended. Such a situation is no use for me.
I’ll have to tell Kwon Jiwoon about my awakening and skills one day, but….
Anyway, that one day is not now. Let’s think about it later.
“Ah, that … it’s a potion entrusted to me by Hunter James.”
My conscience was slightly pricked because I answered with a lie.
Fortunately, Hunter Han Yiseong believed me without any doubt. Rather than the fact that he drank the coffee mix, it’s more likely that James was drinking a potion to dispel the curse.
After being treated for my wound, I finally realized what had happened. It was the first time that a person almost died in front of my eyes. I tried to calm myself, but I couldn’t stop shaking.
“Ha …. Huu…..”
I took a deep breath to calm my pounding chest.
I’m still survived.
Not dead. James and I, who died in the hand of monsters in the past before my regression. Both of us are still alive now.
Did I somehow change one future?
At that moment of relief, a notification window appeared in front of me.
[Achievement: ‘Avoiding the First Death Crisis‘ has been achieved. Please collect the reward.]
What?
What is this? I’ve achieved something?
“Kwon Rieul, what’s wrong?”
Kwon Jiwoon asked when I only stared into the air with a stiff expression after receiving the treatment.
“No, I’m just a little … I guess it’s because I’m tired.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to be hospitalized?”
“It’s okay. I just got treated.”
Kwon Jiwoon gently stepped down only after I said that I’m okay, there’s no pain, and everything’s fine five more times. In the meantime, I moved to an inconspicuous corner and opened the detail screen.
[Achievement: Avoiding the First Death Crisis
Congratulations.
You safely escaped the danger of death.
Let’s value life.
Reward: Branch of Yggdrasil x1]
It was something uncomfortable.
First of all, the expression “First Death Crisis” bothered me.
First? Does that mean there’s a second and third one? I don’t even want to think about going through something like this again. What’s with all these ominous words?
Moreover, it’s the first time I’ve ever heard of the thing that was written as the reward.
Yggdrasil? I searched on my phone to see if it was an expensive item I didn’t know about, but only unrelated game items came up.
I couldn’t see where Mieum had gone to ask what this was.
In any case, I can’t get the reward in this place where other people are present, so let’s find out later.
I turned off the notification window, got up, and looked around.
I wanted to thank the Hunter who came to help earlier. However, no matter how much I looked around, the Hunter was nowhere to be seen. I thought I’d be able to find it quickly because I stood in a high place.
Shall I ask Hunter Han Yiseong?
Then, Jina found me and rushed to me.
“Miss Rieul, are you okay? I’m sorry, this happened while I was out alone.”
“Don’t be sorry. I’m glad miss Jina is safe.”
I was sincere. If Jina had been attacked by the cave black bear, she might have been seriously injured.
“I was going to come earlier….”
Jina lowered her gaze with a dark expression on her face.
As soon as a C-class flame raccoon appeared, Jina requested support from a hunter of the Dungeon Management Office.
However, the hunters of the Dungeon Management Agency were late with various excuses. C-class flame raccoons are not strong monsters from hunter’s point of view. They said that it would not pay much, so they pushed each other to go instead.
It was amazing. It’s like they can’t go because they’re dying.
Fortunately, Cheongna Guild supported us in time. It answered my question, but I felt mixed up.
This is because it reminded me of my time in the company before the regression, I was stuck between people who always put something off as if it’s not their business. I took it here and they told me to go over there, and when I took it over there, they told me to take it here.
In the end, the grown-ups were fighting over who filled the printer with paper.
Can’t you just take care of the work during that time?
Hunters had that kind of person too.
Anyway, the inside of the store, which was damaged because of the monster, would be repaired by the Dungeon Management Office and they even compensated me.
Perhaps because there are so many things like this, the procedure was simple, and all I had to do was sign a simple document and it was over.
“Let’s talk about the details later and take a good rest today.”
Furthermore, they even booked me a pretty expensive hotel as a temporary accommodation.
Kwon Jiwoon told me to come to his house if I had nowhere to go, but I chose the hotel. It was because I thought it would be better to be alone to properly check the rewards in the system notification window.
There’s no reason to see Kwon Jiwoon’s face at home. Even though Kwon Jiwoon was the one who suggested that, it would not have been sincere.
It’s also a secret that I wanted to sleep in a hotel more. They said the hotel offers a breakfast buffet. The luxurious breakfast buffet that I saw every time I blogged in my life before I returned to the past.
With excitement, I searched for breakfast buffet postings on my phone.
Wow, the cereal section also has a lot of variety. Mieum will like it.
“Mieum!”
But Mieum was nowhere to be found.
Come to think of it, I haven’t seen her since she said something strange when she saw the monster earlier. Even if I didn’t call her, she was always sitting at my feet and scratching the floor for food.
Where did she go?
She didn’t run away by herself just because she was afraid, did she? I believe that Mieum is not such a disrespectful cat.
I don’t mind being alone because the monsters were already dead, but….
Mieum, you didn’t go with me. I already called. There’s nothing else to complain later.

[Tutorial Quest: Coffee is My Dream
A thousand miles starts with one step.
Let’s learn to use the skill, starting with the simplest coffee.
Brew 100 cups of Coffee Mix: 99/100
Rewards: Experience (100 EXP), 50 rubies, Americano recipe, ???]
I checked the quest screen with a cup of coffee mix in my hand. The clearly marked number ’99’ caught my eye.
Finally, it’s the last.
The last cup of the long tutorial quest is in my hands. If I drink this one cup, I will finally finish the 100 cups of coffee mix.
Since this ini the very first tutorial quest given to me, the system must have been ruined quickly if it’s a modern game. These days, gamers leave quickly if they don’t give them a big scoop from the beginning.
That’s why I hope the reward item ‘???’ is a good one.
As I was holding this last coffee mix in my hand, I was reminded of the past few days.
I was just trying to make 100 cups of coffee mix, but too many things happened. In retrospect, the feeling is entirely new.
First of all, the hotel I stayed in while the store was being repaired was an expensive place, so it was comfortable. It’s very comfortable, but … the problem was that there was no breakfast buffet. A few days ago, rifts occurred nearby and the hotel restaurant was destroyed.
My buffet!
Nothing really works on my favor. Instead, the hotel offered other food, but I still wanted to eat the buffet.
I poured out curses about dungeons and monsters inwardly.
If I had been a hunter as strong as Muwon, I would have gone into all kinds of dungeons and wiped them all out. If you’re the S-class hunter who ranks first in the country, you won’t be afraid of dungeons or anything.
And as you walk around wearing clothes with big names on it, you can secretly say this to everyone you meet on the street, ‘Why? Do I look like the No. 1 hunter in Korea and the guild leader of Cheongna Guild?’.
I would buy a triangle kimbap at a convenience store and took out my Hunter ID card, pretending it was a mistake. Just thinking about it makes me feel good.
How does it feel to be a hunter that the entire nation is curious about?
So, it means that I was bored at the hotel to the extent that I thought of such nonsense.
I took out the ‘Branch of Yggdrasil‘ I got as a reward for the achievement, but I couldn’t figure out its purpose because it was just a wooden stick with leaves. It was quite fresh.
[Item: Branch of Yggdrasil (★★★★☆)
A branch cut from Yggdrasil, The World Tree. It’s perfect for natural interiors.
Type: Tree Branch
Note: Water only once a week.]
There were only useless contents on the detail screen. It’s perfect for the interior, so you want me to hang a tree branch like this in my house?
In the end, I left the tree branch in the inventory.
There was a lot of talk about the monster appearing on the Internet, but there was no special content because the damage was not great.
