【Chapter 80】
The moment our eyes met, I made a decision to bare everything.
‘I don’t want to hide anything from Lee Hyun-woo.’
From the day my parents’ shop was taken from us, to meeting Ha-nyang, my sudden awakening, and the system that assigns Quests—I explained it all slowly and thoroughly, leaving nothing out.
Even in a world where Hunters had become commonplace, stories about “Jeoseung-i Dot Com” and “Points” would be difficult to believe. The anxiety that he might think I was crazy clung to a corner of my mind throughout the explanation.
But he never interrupted my long story once. He simply gazed into my eyes and nodded quietly.
After a moment of silence, he spoke in a low voice.
“So that’s how it came to be.”
His voice was as composed as always.
“Now I understand why you’re different from other Hunters. The foods with impossible effects despite being F-rank, items I’ve never seen before… it all makes sense now.”
He lowered his gaze.
“Most of all, the very existence of this talking cat is extraordinary.”
“…Our Ha-nyang is a bit unusual, isn’t he?”
I bent down and lightly tapped Ha-nyang’s nose bridge with my index finger.
“This body is not unusual at all, meow.”
As Ha-nyang swung his fluffy paw with a pouty expression, Lee Hyun-woo finally burst into laughter. The tense air softened with his warmth.
“Thank you for being honest with me. I’m glad you trusted me.”
“No, well… it wasn’t really a huge secret anyway.”
Embarrassed, I scratched my cheek, and he smiled.
“Then, how are you planning to obtain these ‘Points’?”
“Hmm. That’s the problem.”
Back to reality, I rested my chin on my hand and let out a heavy sigh.
“I can earn Points through the Quest Board. But the requests are completely random.”
Finding lost cats, secretly delivering documents someone left behind—absurd missions like that. The structure was such that Hunters’ trivial and desperate wishes were posted randomly.
“While it’s been useful, if I try to operate Points this way, I’d have to run around solving requests all day instead of actually running a business. It’s putting the cart before the horse.”
‘Of course, there are other methods.’
Specifically, taking out a loan from the Afterlife Capital. But I didn’t want to start a delivery business while in debt.
“Ugh…”
As I was wracking my brain, Lee Hyun-woo, who had been listening quietly, spoke up.
“Is it possible to adjust the Quest Board itself? The system seems unusually favorable toward you.”
“…What?”
My eyes widened at his words. Change the board itself? Was that even possible?
With nothing to lose, I hastily opened the system window in the air. I navigated to the Quest Board tab as usual, but no matter how hard I looked, I couldn’t find any buttons like “Settings” or “Options.”
‘If there’s no button, should I just say it out loud?’
I clenched my fists and shouted into the empty air.
“Open the Quest Board manipulation function!”
…Silence. My cheeks flushed slightly from embarrassment. Lee Hyun-woo was watching me with interest, his chin resting on his hand.
Fine, whatever. One more time!
“Quest Board, change to shop mode!”
“…”
Nothing happened, as expected. The System window indifferently displayed only the words [Quest Board]. Ah, this isn’t it. How embarrassing.
“Ugh, it seems like it won’t work after all. It would be nice if I could customize the Quest Board as you mentioned….”
That was the moment I muttered my complaint.
-Ding!
Would you like to customize the ‘Quest Board’?
“…What?”
I blinked in surprise. The word ‘customize’ must have been the keyword. A text input window appeared on the screen with a blank field.
Would you like to customize the ‘Quest Board’?
Purpose: ____________________
[Apply]
I raised my trembling fingers and tapped at the keyboard floating in the air.
“Ha-neul’s… Branch 3… For operating a food truck… Quest Board for the restaurant.”
After finishing the input and pressing the [Apply] button, the System window crackled briefly, the text dissolved, and then began reassembling. An entirely new list of quests unfolded before my eyes.
[Quest Board (Restaurant)]
-Quest: My feet are freezing. I’d like to order some hot taiyaki!(Reward: 500P)
-Request: I entered the gate, but my teammates were fighting. I need the power of Tteokbokki~ (Reward: 300P)
-Quest: Group order for team members! Please charge up our morale.(Reward: 750P)
“…This is insane.”
I muttered while looking at the changed Quest Board. Lee Hyun-woo asked as he watched me.
“Did you succeed?”
“Yes! It’s a huge success! The Quest Board has completely transformed into a delivery service rider board!”
Of course, the delivery locations that appeared on the Quest Board were far from ordinary. The Ice Valley Gate, the Disappearing Secret Forest Gate…. These were places where ordinary people would have screamed and fled.
‘But what if the employee is a Grim Reaper?’
I immediately contacted Kim Grim Reaper. Upon hearing my request, he—who had rushed over at the mention of Points—nodded willingly.
“As long as you give me Points, I don’t care.”
I was grateful that he was a Grim Reaper obsessed with the mortal realm’s currency. But no matter how strong or fearless of Gates he was, without a service-oriented spirit, it would be useless.
‘Is it because he’s a Grim Reaper? Even my talent detection skill doesn’t work on him.’
It seemed best to observe him from the sidelines for now and decide whether to hire him permanently. I extended my right hand to Kim Grim Reaper.
“Then I’m counting on you. Kim Grim Reaper, Intern!”
“Heh, an intern, you say.”
I grinned at his bewildered expression. Let’s do our best so you can become a full-time employee!
* * *
…Huff, huff.
The scorching sand-laden wind burrowed deep into my lungs.
“Team Leader… Is there any water left?”
“We need to ration the water now. Just hold on a bit longer.”
C-rank Hunter Seo Yi-young shook her head firmly, licking her parched lips. This was the D-rank Gate, the ‘Desert of Heat’. Though the rank wasn’t high, the monsters hiding deep within the sand were causing the clear to drag on endlessly.
“Haa…. How many days has it been now? I’m dying from exhaustion!”
“Stop complaining and conserve your energy.”
The faces of the team members trudging through the endless desert in the bone-dry air were etched with fatigue.
‘Damn it. At this rate, I’ll die of dehydration before any monster gets me.’
Seo Yi-young swallowed her curses as she slashed through the sand dunes with her sword. Yet she couldn’t abandon the dungeon midway and leave. The moment she re-entered, she’d have to start from the beginning. How had she even made it this far!
‘This is still a desert, but isn’t there an oasis somewhere?’
She silently prayed for just one sip of cool water. That’s when it happened. Beyond the horizon, a haze of dust began to rise.
-VROOOOOOM!
As the deafening roar that shook the ground grew closer, everyone tensed and raised their weapons. But what emerged through the dust was something completely unexpected.
Screeeech-!
“…A truck?”
And it was a small truck gleaming in silver. A large sign hung from the top of the truck, glinting brilliantly under the intense sunlight.
[Ha-neul’s Food Truck]
“Ha-neul’s? Don’t tell me it’s that taiyaki shop I know?”
The side of the truck opened like wings, and white cold air burst forth as if mocking the desert’s heat. But what made them hesitate wasn’t just the refreshing chill.
Inside the truck, revealed was a peculiar man dressed in a black robe with a traditional hat on his head. His skin was pale—almost bluish—with deeply sunken eyes and an ominous voice.
From behind him, a small-framed woman approached him and whispered something.
“Kim Grim Reaper! You should greet them first.”
“…Welcome.”
She was Jung Ha-neul, the owner of the shop Ha-neul’s. Seeing her here confirmed this was indeed the taiyaki shop she knew, but….
‘Could that corpse-like bluish man really be a new employee?’
Seo Yi-young frowned at the bizarre combination. But it wasn’t long before the employee faded from her attention entirely.
“…A new menu with soda-flavored slushie?”
That name, sweeter than any oasis—a slushie had just been released. And in sweet soda flavor no less! Seo Yi-young approached the truck as if enchanted.
“Could I order slushies for everyone on the team…?”
“Order accepted.”
And in the blink of an eye, cups filled with slushie were thrust before Seo Yi-young’s face.
‘Wow, this fast?’
She carefully took the cup. The cold sensation against her palm sent a shiver through her. After handing the slushies to her team members first, Lee Young sucked on the slushie through the straw.
“…Ahhhh.”
The moment finely crushed ice crystals slid down her throat, an intensely cold sensation so sharp it made her head throb descended through her esophagus and pierced her stomach. The scorching hot sand wind that had been lodged deep in her lungs was instantly purified.
“Ahhhhh…! This is insane!”
“I’m, I’m alive! I’m actually alive!”
Exclamations erupted from team members all around as they gulped down their slushies. Jung Ha-neul approached them, brushing dust from her cup.
“Hello! Do you have a moment?”
She greeted them with a bright voice and abruptly thrust a tablet forward. And on the screen was….
Thank you for using our shop. How satisfied were you with our new employee? (Multiple answers possible)
1. Fast and thoughtful service.
2. They reflected our requests well.
3. Bright and positive atmosphere.
4. I’d like to meet them again next time.
5. Other:
An employee satisfaction survey?
