The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 2

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 2

‘…What? what’s this?’

Heena forgot about the desperate situation and opened her mouth wide as she was attending an awakened class for the first time in her life.

<Housekeeper (D): You can run a household with great skills!>

Even her grade was D, following her D-class brother, and the class description was insincere.

Additionally, his abilities were very weak.

It was said that even for F-class players, it would be reasonable to have the total body strength (strength, agility) stats exceed 30.

However, Heena’s status window was very miserable.

<◆Stamina 8 ◆Magic Power 1 ◆Strength 5 ◆Dexterity 6 ◆Persistence 20 ◆Luck 45>

‘If this is what happens when you awaken, what’s the difference from an ordinary person?’

It was also absurd that the points of each of the tenacity and luck stats were higher than the total number of points.

‘My brother said that the luck stat is not a visible ability, so it’s useless at all!’

Heena hid under a large tree, chewing her fingernails, trying to somehow improve the situation.

But it didn’t change the fact that her class was very strange and that she was born with bad stats.

[Kyaoooooo!]

To make matters worse, the monster’s cries came closer, as if it had caught Heena’s scent. If things continued like this, it was clear that the monster’s claws would tear it to pieces.

‘run!’

I had to run away to survive. Heena ran through the lush grass, maximizing her agility stat of 6.

[Keueeeeek!]

But it was clear that the monster’s agility stat was higher than hers. I could feel the monster’s hot breath right on the back of my neck.

My head stood up.

“Oh, no!”

Heena displayed a tenacity stat of 20 and did not give up on her life until the end.

Instead, she chose to throw herself into a swamp filled with floating blue green algae.

with a plop!

With a loud noise, she fell into the muddy swamp. A strange tasting water came into my mouth and I spit it out.

As I was struggling and just moving forward, my back felt cold. My instincts warned me that something dangerous was nearby.

When I looked back, I saw a crocodile-shaped monster the size of a small car with its mouth wide open.

“Hey!”

Heena was about to scream at the sight of the incredible sight, but there was something blocking her path.

[Keueeeeek!]

It was a dinosaur-shaped monster that was chasing Heena. The monster seemed to not have found the crocodile and rushed towards Heena, splashing across the swamp.

[Goooooo!]

The crocodile seemed to think it was an attack on itself, flashing its sharp teeth and waving its snout.

[Keeeeek! Wow!]

The dinosaur-shaped monster was hit by the crocodile’s snout and fell into the air.

There was a sound of something exploding, but the dinosaur didn’t care and just got up and roared.

[Keeeeeeeee!]

[Gooooooooooooo!]

The two monsters screamed at each other like two reckless drivers who had been involved in a collision. And soon they got together and started fighting.

Heena, covered in green algae, was left alone.

‘I’m glad everything happened.’

Heena was thankful for the heavenly luck or luck stat of 45.

And crawled out of the swamp. Very carefully so as not to be noticed by the two monsters.

‘Where should I go now?’

Heena looked around, where everything was green. I had to stay somewhere a little safer than here and wait for rescue.

‘Do you have any skills that can be of help?’

There was one skill that caught Heena’s desperate gaze as she crouched down and quickly glanced at the status window.

<Comfortable bed (D): Create a comfortable bed so that you can rest safely and quietly without being disturbed by other beings. Active skill.>

In some ways, it was nothing more or less than the skill of making a bed.

But what caught Heena’s eye was one word written in the skill description.

‘safety!’

Now that Heena was sucked into the dungeon gate alone, she had to grasp at straws.

Even if it’s a D-rank poor bed-making skill!

As soon as I turned on the skill, a system information window appeared in front of me.

“Do I have to do this myself?”

Heena was in tears. However, I looked around step by step as the system window instructed.

Then, one by one, things that had not been visible before began to appear. For example, there was a flashing status message.

This was before I even thought it was a skill with a strange name. Numerous letters appeared before Heena’s eyes.

<Edible grass (E)>

<Grass that dies if you eat it (D)>

<Very tasty grass (B)>,

etc….

With the lush green jungle in the background, there is a wealth of information about edible and inedible grasses. I kicked it.

‘Well, it’s all good, right? If you’re going to lie down, it would be much better to lie down in safe, edible grass.’

Heena was no longer embarrassed. Instead, they plucked whatever edible, safe, or tasty plants they could find.

Every time a notification window popped up, Heena’s hand movements became faster and more accurate. The sight of him frantically picking vegetables while soaked in dirty water made him look like a madman.

“Is this enough?”

Heena gasped and looked down at the pile of grass behind her. It looked like it was big enough for one person to lie down and hide.

Heena picked up some grass and found a suitable corner.

“Comfortable bed!”

When I cast the skill, my hand began to move on its own. What to do and how to do it came to mind clearly. All Heena had to do was follow along.

“…done!”

Is it because the ingredients are simple? It didn’t take long to complete the grass bed.

Heena looked at the result of her own hands. Then an explanation window popped up.

<Comfortable bed made of edible grass (D): By making it with edible grass, you can solve both hunger and fatigue at the same time. Recovery speed increased by 20%.>

And there were numbers written underneath it.

<Skill duration: 05 hours 59 minutes 13 seconds left.* *Only the caster of the skill can check the remaining time.>

There was also an indication that the skill duration was information that could only be confirmed by the caster. The explanation was somewhat kind.

“I think I made it okay for a first time?”

Heena praised herself.

Although it looked a little shabby, it was a fairly well-made bed from a caveman’s perspective. It was the science itself advertised on TV.

[Shhhhh-]

Just in time, I heard the sound of something approaching. The fine hairs all over my body stood out.

Heena, doubtful as to whether this would really work, went into the grass bed.

Although it was cozy, fear came first. If the ‘Comfortable Bed’ skill didn’t work properly, his life was truly at risk.

[Chwiik shhh!]

Heena held her breath, hiding in the well-made D-class ‘comfortable bed made of edible grass’.

Soon after, a monster appeared. It was a huge snake that looked like it could swallow a person in one bite.

At this point, it wasn’t just gross, it even looked like computer graphics.

[Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!]

The giant snake slowly turned its head, flicking its long tongue. It was like looking around to see if there was anything to eat.

‘Please save me!’

Heena held her hands together and prayed desperately.

[Chwii.]

Did Heena’s wish reach the sky?

Even though the snake was right in front of Heena, it turned around without being able to find her.

Heena barely managed to fix her trembling chin.

‘I guess the skill was effective.’

I thought it was an insignificant class and skill since even dog poop can be used for medicine, but it was surprisingly helpful. If I held on like this, I didn’t know if I could hold out until the rescue team arrived.

‘I’m glad I woke up to become a housekeeper or something. If I hadn’t done that, I might have died a long time ago.’

It was clear that if I had awakened to an ambiguous D-class hunter like my brother, I would have tried to catch a monster and ended up in the netherworld.

“…Oh, I’m sleepy.”

Now that safety was secured to some extent, fatigue began to creep into my surprised body.

The bed was so comfortable that it was hard to imagine that it was made of nothing more than grass. They said it was a ‘comfortable bed’ and it lived up to its name.

‘no. I shouldn’t fall asleep like this…’

Heena slowly blinked as she crouched between the grass. Because drowsiness came. I fell asleep very easily.

They say the effect is to increase recovery speed by 20%, but are they forcing me to sleep so I can recover?

“Ahmmm…”

A yawn that I couldn’t hold back came out.

In the end, Heena nodded and fell asleep. It was a deep sleep without even dreams.

No one knew whether it was because of the fight in the dungeon or because of working overtime for three days.

* * *

“…Hey, look at this!”

Along with a loud voice, something stabbed Heena’s body.

It was a merciless touch, as if checking whether the potatoes were fully cooked. That means it was very painful.

“ouch!”

Heena jumped up, screaming loudly, forgetting the situation.

“it hurts!”

“I thought it was a plant-type monster that looked like a person, but it turned out to be a real person.”

A woman with fierce eyes was looking down at Heena.

She was wearing light armor and held a long spear in her hand. It was clear that Heena was stabbed without hesitation with the tip of that long spear.

But to Heena, who had come to her senses, such trivial pain did not matter.

“You are Hunter!”

The woman was clearly a hunter who had entered the dungeon to suppress it.
