Chapter 1

“Ow!”

My shoulder creaks.

Just for bolting upright in bed yesterday, I’ve caught a flu with full-body aches.

And thanks to my chronic condition, even ten minutes of breathing the air outside brings on bloody coughs.

“Are you alright?!”

The maids come rushing over in a flock. Even the so-called brothers from my family come rushing, not knowing what to do.

“Senia, can you walk?”

“Exactly, we told you not to handle such trivial things yourself.”

The mansion erupts in what could barely be called a commotion.

System messages flicker before my eyes.

Damn it!

This all happened just because I flung open a single window.

I used to be the type who could smash windows barehanded without a single scratch—not only unharmed by open windows, but shattering them to bits.

So how the hell did I end up like this?

That was all because of what happened just three days ago.

Shin Yuri, hunter.

27 years old. Korea’s youngest S-rank hunter.

The legendary dealer who solo-cleared over ten SS-rank dungeons, countless S-ranks, and A-ranks even while half-asleep.

She’s gained fame for her innovative hunting style that slaughters monsters with ‘afterimages,’ and despite massive offers from countries worldwide begging her to naturalize, she’s turned them all down.

She dominates daily news and headlines,

—crunch!

“Ah, broke again.”

…and she’s so strong she occasionally crushes door handles by accident because she can’t control her power.

That was me.

Everything started when my hunter team stepped into this godforsaken L-rank dungeon.

‘What? An RP Dungeon?’

RP Dungeon.

Also known as a Role-Playing Dungeon.

Once you enter, your hunter stats vanish, and you possess some character in the dungeon’s world, using their stats instead.

If I’d known it was an RP Dungeon, I’d have bolted no matter how many massive beasts poured out of this L-rank gate.

Fighting them with my normal stats would’ve been better!

But no one wanted to investigate a late-discovered L-rank gate that could explode any second.

While countless gate scholars ignored it, time slipped away.

Basic scans only revealed it was urban-themed and L-rank.

We had no choice but to enter before the gate blew…

Who could’ve guessed a 1-in-1000 chance RP Dungeon would pop from an L-rank gate!

Screaming S… T… A… Y… now wouldn’t help.

I’m already Senia de Pourlang—or whatever—and true to the dungeon name, this lady’s a fragile terminally ill noble.

When I first opened my eyes, it was to a truly unfamiliar ceiling.

I never thought I’d utter the classic lines of a book-possession protagonist, but there it was—an unfamiliar ceiling.

A room decked out in Western medieval noble style, dripping with ornate decorations.

I’d cleared RP Dungeons before, but…

“First time dropping into something this novel-like.”

I immediately opened my status window to check my stats.

Checking the possessed character’s specs is basic in RP Dungeons…

“What?”

Stamina 10? It drains just from walking?

And terminal? Is that why the stats are this pathetic? You messing with me? Clear with this body?

“Prevent continental destruction? With this character?”

Luckily, my whole hunter team made it in.

S-rank dealer Shin Jae-heon, who can demolish a intact building with one greatsword swing.

S-rank healer Joo Yian, the ‘God’ who can save you as long as you’re breathing.

And S-rank support So Yeri, who buffered us with every support skill in the book.

Hunter team chat better work, right?

Normal dungeons block chat, but RP ones sometimes allow it.

I inputted a room name and created a chat.

[Senia de Pourlang (Shin Yuri) >>> Everyone in?]

I waited anxiously for replies.

As long as hunter chat works—minus personal DMs—RP Dungeon difficulty plummets.

I’ve cleared countless RP Dungeons.

Even if one stat sucks, possessing someone decent elsewhere makes it easy.

I let out a sigh of relief.

Getting dumped alone into a brutal L-rank with these trash stats? No way I’d survive.

L-rank lives up to the name—the main clear condition matches other RP Dungeons: prevent doom.

But why’s his name so flashy?

Shin Jae-heon went silent after that. Guess his character’s busy.

Whoa, High Priest. Means she’s got mad influence in the church, right?

My jaw dropped.

That was when it happened.

“Wait, Karman Empire?”

I scrolled up the chat history.

And stared at Shin Jae-heon’s world name.

“Ivan Elethia von Karman.”

Karman? Karman Empire?

This isn’t Korea with a million Andong Kims—in a medieval world, only one family uses the imperial surname.

So, basically: Shin Jae-heon’s possessed a royal,

healer Joo Yian’s a High Priest,

support So Yeri’s a fancy Magic Tower Master,

and I’m the only terminally ill young lady?

Wow! Terminally ill lady with killer connections! Thanks a ton!

I clutched my head.

Are the abilities really just ‘terminal’?

No way, right? I frantically dug through the system window. And finally found one ability.

“Ooh, there we go!”

No one’s dying on me!

Does it pop up like the system window if I call it?

“Open God’s Shop.”

The shop window burst open on one side the moment I spoke.

Simple black base with gold trim—way fancier than a regular system window.

And only one item was active.

Meaning, only one purchasable right now.

And that was…

“?”

What’s this? Boost stamina maybe?

Shitty name, but judge not by appearances.

But after reading the description, my face crumpled.

You messing with me right now?

No, terminal or not isn’t the issue right now…

I quietly gazed up at the ceiling, now slightly less unfamiliar.

Why must life be so harsh and painful?

I pondered this while buying the Tiny Potion—God’s Shop opening special, permanent freebie.
