You Will Be Blessed If You Do Good Deeds¿ - Chapter 159

Lee Un-gyeol groggily opened his eyes, still drunk.
He couldnât remember what had happened, but the way his stomach felt, it seemed like heâd had a wild drinking session with someone.
Instinctively, Lee Un-gyeol reached for his phone to check.

He always left it on the nightstand next to his bed.
He fumbled around.
Squish!

At that moment, something squishy gripped his hand.
Cold sweat ran down his back.
Even though he was drunk and his mind was foggy, what had grabbed his hand was squirming and wrapping around it.

â...AAAH!â
Lee Un-gyeol jumped up in shock and immediately kicked the thing that had wrapped around his hand without even looking.
Thud! Whoosh!

The slime that had been holding onto his hand flew away from his kick.
Although he had dealt with it, Lee Un-gyeol felt his face pale.
âS-slime? What the hell...!â

It was a low-level monster, but that wasnât the problem.
Lee Un-gyeol looked around, and the place he found himself in was definitely not his familiar home.
Instead of the cityscape of Seoul, he saw a plain with wild weeds growing everywhere.

And most importantly, the decisive clue was...
You have entered a dungeon.
A system notification.
âAAAH!â
Lee Un-gyeol screamed as he grabbed his head in panic.

How the hell did he end up in a dungeon? Could he have entered it while drunk?
âWhat did I do yesterday? I remember eating with Jeong Da-on and calling a driver for her, but...â
He pinched his cheek, wondering if it was a dream, but nothing changed.

Lee Un-gyeol searched his pockets and found his phone.
Even though communication was difficult in a dungeon, he thought there might be some trace of his activities while drunk.
âHmm? Whatâs this...?â

Then, he found a video in his album.
It was a video he didnât remember recording.
Lee Un-gyeol immediately played the video.

In the shaky screen, his drunken face filled the frame.
Oh, Iâll take responsibility! Donât I know you?
Well, I donât know you... Iâm just on night shift duty for our guild. Sir, you seem drunk, so letâs let you sleep and sober up, okay? If you go into the dungeon like this, youâll die! Iâll get fired too!

Iâm Lee Un-gyeol. Do you think Iâll die in a C-class dungeon?
Wow, youâre really drunk.
The video showed him, drunk and babbling something, and a distressed, middle-aged man who seemed to be the dungeon manager.

Apparently, guilds that bid for dungeons often hired managers to oversee the dungeon entrances.
In the video, his drunken self kept growling.
Iâm recording this. Iâll leave evidence. Huh?

Evidence? What evidence?
Iâll record it here. I, Lee Un-gyeol, am entering the dungeon voluntarily, and Iâll wire the dungeon rental fee immediately! The account number is here, right?
Sigh...

Ah, Iâm giving you the money! Donât act all self-righteous and buy some soju with it. Donât get all professional just because youâre an old man managing dungeons.
What kind of crazy... sigh, fine.
Ah, Iâm paying! Iâll go in. Itâs not like Iâll die in there!

After that, there was the sound of a loud bang and Lee Un-gyeolâs furious voice.
Damn old man, donât touch me! Get lost, you crazy...!
The video continued, but Lee Un-gyeol stopped watching. He could pretty much guess what happened next.
He clutched his head.

âDamn, Iâm screwed.â
Not only had he been caught drunk, but now he would probably have to face his mother again. A few months ago, sheâd gotten him out of a DUI charge, and now sheâd have to fix this mess. Not to mention, his father, who was a member of parliament, would definitely be furious about the shame it could bring.
Lee Un-gyeol clenched his teeth.

â...Damn it, I donât even know what guild that is, but whoever the night shift manager is, they should be a Hunter.â
It was his fault, 100 percent, but he decided to blame others for now. When he thought about it, his logic wasnât totally wrong.
If the night shift manager had been a Hunter, they would have stopped him from going into the dungeon while drunk.

âDamn it, once I get out of here, Iâm suing everyone. Iâll demand compensation and have that manager fired. Do they know who I am? Ugh, damn.â
Lee Un-gyeol flicked the slime remains off his hand and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.
The only good thing was that from the video, he saw this was a C-class dungeon.

âAlright, this should be easy... But, whatâs this?â
When he checked his inventory, he was taken aback.
âWhy is it like this?â

His inventory was incredibly empty.
He had some emergency items like a small sword, but most of the gear he usually carried was missing.
As he thought it over, Lee Un-gyeol gasped.

âThatâs right...â
He remembered now.
The night before, before meeting Jeong Da-on, he had read a paper his mother had given him.

It was a study published by the International Hunter Federation about how keeping too many items in oneâs inventory increased mana consumption.
So, he had cleaned up his guildâs storage to test the paperâs findings. He was supposed to head home right after meeting Jeong Da-on.
Who couldâve imagined this would happen?

âDamn, this is just bad luck!â
Lee Un-gyeol kicked the ground in frustration.
The system warns the user, âLee Un-gyeolâ.

Prepare for enemy attacks.
A warning?
Lee Un-gyeol stared at the unfamiliar system message.

âDamn, why give me a warning now? Why not warn me before I entered the dungeon?â
The system is doing its best to ensure the userâs survival.
âUgh, disgusting... What is this, some kind of parasite? Get... huh?â
His eyes widened in shock.

Something shot out from the ground and wrapped around his ankle.
Another system message followed.
Monster appearance: Butterfly Tooth (B-class).
âB-class monster?! This is a C-class dungeon, damn it!â

Lee Un-gyeol shouted in anger, but his scream didnât change the situation.
The plant-like vine wrapped around his ankle and began to climb up his body.
Crack, crack, crack!

âUgh!â
Lee Un-gyeol swung his sword to cut the vine, but no matter how much he cut it, it kept growing back.
âDamn, this thingâs persistent!â

If Lee Un-gyeol had been a little more calm, he would have realized that the Butterfly Tooth wasnât like a regular plant monster.
Normally, plant monsters, including Butterfly Teeth, were slow movers.
The vine was growing so rapidly that it didnât make sense for it to be a regular plant monster. If he had been calm, he would have concluded that this monster was either a mutant or was being excessively supplied with mana.

Had he realized this, he would have tried to escape the situation instead of mindlessly cutting the vine.
But, with the sudden dungeon situation, combined with his hangover, he couldnât make rational decisions.
âDamn, what is this?! Get off me!â

To make matters worse, the slime he thought he had defeated earlier had revived.
Sometimes, there were monsters that could reproduce like planarians, but it was rare for this to happen at the worst possible moment.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than .net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

The slime, now twice as large, began to cling to him, along with the Butterfly Toothâs vines.
âAHHH!â
Lee Un-gyeol wildly swung his sword, unleashing sword energy in all directions.

The sword energy cut through the vines and once again sliced through the slime.
âDo you think Iâm going to die here?!â
After all, he was an A-class Hunter. There was no way he would die in a place like this!

Lee Un-gyeol roared triumphantly as he swung his sword.
âIf I ever write my autobiography, this episodeâs definitely going in! Damn it!â
...An hour passed.

At first, he was doing well, but that only lasted a short time.
Lee Un-gyeol was now exhausted, feeling like he might actually die.
âHah... Hah...â

Every time he cut the slime, more of them spawned.
The plant vines continued to regenerate, relentlessly climbing over him, wearing him down.
âWhy... Why wonât they die?!â

After some time, he realized that to stop the regeneration, he had to find the monsterâs core, but by then, it was too late.
The slimes had multiplied to the point where there were dozens, if not over a hundred.
The Butterfly Toothâs vines were almost like a dense bush now.

Lee Un-gyeol gritted his teeth.
âDamn! What am I supposed to do?!â
Although he was an A-class Hunter, Lee Un-gyeol had rarely been on truly dangerous missions.

His stats were high due to training with mercenaries, but his actual dungeon experience was limited.
He had always gone into dungeons with paid mercenaries.
So he had no idea how to handle the situation alone.

The slimeâs growing numbers and the regenerating vines made it harder to move, and Lee Un-gyeol cursed as he saw the vines coming toward his neck.
Crack! Bang!

The Butterfly Toothâs vines wrapped around his neck and lifted him off the ground.

Then they slammed him down repeatedly.
âUgh! Gah! WAAH!â
It felt like he was riding a rollercoaster without a safety belt.

The vomit from the night before kept splashing onto his face, adding to the disgusting smell and physical shock.
Lee Un-gyeol was completely disoriented.
Thud!

He didnât even realize that he had been thrown to the ground.
He couldnât tell if this was a dream or reality.
Shaking, he crawled across the floor, and when he looked up, his eyes went wide.

Instead of the disgusting monsters, he saw a human form.
And someone he recognized.
âDa-on, junior...!â

It looked like she was surrounded by a glowing halo.
Lee Un-gyeol called out excitedly.
âYou came to save me... Ugh!â

But just as he was about to approach her in joy, she spoke.
âThe smellâs so bad, Iâd appreciate it if you didnât come any closer.â
Lee Un-gyeol, who was about to rush toward her, stopped as Jeong Da-on covered her nose with her hand.

Thatâs when he realized his state.
Covered in his own vomit.
Embarrassment flooded over him, especially since he had a genuine interest in Jeong Da-on.

âThis... this is...â
âWhoâs the one coming to save who? I canât believe you still donât get the situation.â
Jeong Da-on clicked her tongue.

âWhat... What are you saying? And why are you talking to me like that?â
âYouâre still worried about using formal speech? You really havenât learned your lesson yet.â
Swoosh!

Jeong Da-on unfolded a fan covered with strange symbols and waved it, as if trying to ward off the smell.
Lee Un-gyeol could feel his shame turn into anger as he saw the deliberate gesture.
Anyone could tellâJeong Da-on was clearly trying to embarrass him!

âWhat the hell do you think youâre doing? Do you know who I am?â
Lee Un-gyeol growled in a low voice.
Usually, when he used this tone, people would be intimidated and back off.

Especially with his background.
âIâve been so nice to you, Da-on... If you keep this up, Iâll take legal action!â
âOh really?â

Jeong Da-on covered her mouth with the fan and smiled.
âYouâll have to suffer more until you come to your senses.â
Even though Lee Un-gyeol threatened her, Jeong Da-on didnât seem fazed.

Her attitude made Lee Un-gyeol break into a cold sweat.
What the hell was going on here?
At least one thing was clear.

The atmosphere around Jeong Da-on was definitely hostile, full of malice.
More than that, even though Lee Un-gyeol was a high-ranking Hunter, he could feel the immense flow of mana surrounding her.
âWhat the hell...!â

The massive flow of mana swirling around Jeong Da-on was suffocating.
He couldnât understand why, but one thing was certain.
Jeong Da-on was... trying to fight him right now!

â...Da-on, are you planning to prank me? Think carefully, this isnât the time. Fighting between Hunters inside a dungeon is a crime.â
âYouâre the one who committed a crime.â
âWhat crime are you talking about?â

âDo you not remember assaulting the old man before you came in?â
âHa!â
Lee Un-gyeol instinctively scoffed.

âIs that what youâre upset about? Are you trying to play the role of some righteous hero?â
Sometimes, younger Hunters would get drunk on their own sense of justice.
âWhat assault? That old man grabbed me first and kicked me out. Itâs not that big of a deal... We couldâve settled with some compensation.â

âReally?â
Jeong Da-on smiled.
âYeah, thatâs true. Legally, itâs not easy to punish you. The stalking, violating privacy laws, and the gross sexual harassment... itâs all a grey area. And that old man would probably keep quiet for a small settlement.â

Lee Un-gyeol was furious when she called out everything he had done over the past month.
âYou, you! You dare talk back to me, your senior?! I did it all for you!â
âDid you even show respect to the old man?â

âNo, if he didnât like it, he shouldâve refused! He ate my expensive food and still complained... If we talk legally, youâre the one at a disadvantage, got it?!â
âWow, I didnât expect the son of a lawyer to be so knowledgeable. Fine, I didnât care about your actions, but...â
Jeong Da-onâs eyes gleamed as she kept fanning herself.

The soft curve of her lips, partially hidden by the fan, only served to highlight the chilling coldness emanating from her eyes.
âThe things you said yesterday? Itâs something a fool like you wouldnât even dream of saying. I need to figure out who put those ideas in your head.â
