Food Truck Owner Inside the Dungeon

**Dungeon Food Truck Owner – Episode 5**

Taking a deep breath at Kkamang’s words, Ji-eun clenched her fists and said it resolutely.

“Set opening time.”

Skill: [Opening Time and Closing Time] will activate.

Please set the [Opening Time and Closing Time].

Once the [Opening Time and Closing Time] are set, the skill: [As the Wheels Go (Lv.1)] will automatically activate.

Ji-eun bit her lip tightly.

‘Please let it be a safe place with at least 10 people!’

The current time was 1:45 PM.

At first, Ji-eun planned to set the opening time to 2 PM as an excuse to prepare herself mentally, but she soon shook her head.

There’s a saying that you should act while the iron is hot. Even though it was only 15 minutes away, if she didn’t move now, she felt she might never open her first shop inside the dungeon.

Taking a deep breath, Ji-eun shouted loudly.

“Opening time 1:45 PM, closing time 5 PM!”

[Skill is activating.]

Ji-eun felt as if her body was floating.

In an instant, the large food truck vanished from the Han River Park.

* * *

Present

If Ji-eun could turn back time by 10 minutes, she would want to shake the past version of herself who boldly decided to stay in the dungeon for 3 hours and 15 minutes.

‘I don’t even know where this is.’

No, she knew where she had arrived after the skill [As the Wheels Go] activated.

You have entered [Dungeon Floor 4: Ariadne’s Libra].

You have entered a dungeon with a significant level difference from your awakening level. Your stamina and mana decrease by 30% per hour due to the monster’s presence in all directions.

A 30% decrease in stamina and mana per hour was a huge penalty!

She learned from Kkamang that if both stamina and mana were exhausted, she wouldn’t be able to use her passive skills.

The only relief was that she hadn’t set the operating hours to 4 hours.

It seemed that her past self, just 10 minutes ago, hadn’t been overly ambitious.

She wasn’t sure what the feeling of stamina and mana decreasing was, but she could feel her body becoming damp and drained.

“Ugh… I’m scared!”

In the darkness where nothing existed, bright red eyes glimmered.

What made it even more creepy was that the eyes were shining from a height far greater than Ji-eun’s height.

“Those! They’re not coming over here, right? Tell me they’re not, Kkamang!”

Overwhelmed with anxiety by the gathering red eyes, Ji-eun unconsciously lifted Kkamang and began to shake it in the air.

Contrary to Ji-eun’s frightened reaction, Kkamang yawned and appeared completely unbothered.

“You told me to trust you and this truck!”

“What…?!”

Shocked by the betrayal of her trusted Kkamang, Ji-eun paused for a moment before shaking Kkamang even more vigorously.

“Hey! Kkamang, isn’t this too much? Where are we? Dungeon Floor 4? We’re deep inside, aren’t we?? Am I going to die here?! You said it was safe, you said it was safe!!”

“I don’t know! I don’t know! I don’t know! I don’t know!! Take responsibility, aaah!!”

Passive Skill: [This is a Bulletproof Truck!] has activated!

Just as Kkamang mentioned, a system window popped up immediately.

Ji-eun opened her eyes and checked the contents, stopping her hand that had been shaking Kkamang.

The skill is at the basic level.

A safe zone has been established! Monsters cannot approach within a 5m radius of the truck.

The safe zone has been marked with a red line. Please do not leave this area!

Along with that, a red line appeared in a circular shape with a 5m radius around the truck.

Ji-eun’s eyes widened as she saw a monster that had been within 5m suddenly bounce away from the newly established safe zone.

“W-What?! When did it get so close… that, and a spider? That’s a spider, right?”

“Kkamang, you…”

Ji-eun glared at Kkamang with her hands clenched tightly.

“There’s a time and place for pranks! How could you joke like that!”

Slapping Kkamang’s back without mercy, Ji-eun’s hand finally relaxed at the end.

Even as Ji-eun’s smacking intensified, Kkamang remained silent.

“Just knowing that is enough.”

Even after receiving an apology, Ji-eun still glared at Kkamang, seemingly unsatisfied.

Though she shouldn’t be sweating, Kkamang felt cold sweat trickling down at Ji-eun’s glare. As soon as Ji-eun relaxed her grip, Kkamang jumped to the passenger seat as if to escape.

“As the wheels go I need to level up this skill first.”

“…That’s true.”

Kkamang’s explanation made sense. She didn’t know where the food truck would go, but if she randomly traveled to many places, she could choose where to start her business later after leveling up the skill.

“Then which skill should I level up first?”

As Kkamang said, when her level increased later, the passive skills would also grow automatically, so distributing skill points wasn’t a priority.

While checking her skills at Kkamang’s suggestion, Ji-eun fell into serious contemplation again.

“There are too many passive skills.”

Ji-eun could vaguely sense that it was better for passive skills to activate automatically without her having to use them herself. Still, her skill window was saturated with passives.

**[Skill List – Detailed Classification: Passive]**

[As the Wheels Go (Lv.1)]

[This is a Bulletproof Truck!]

[Today’s Recommended Dish]

[Opening Time and Closing Time]

**[Skill List: Detailed Classification: Active]**

[Enhanced Class 1 Large License (Lv.1)]

From Ji-eun’s perspective as a Level 1, the right place to invest her skill points was indeed in active skills. Since she would receive experience points for completing quests, So her passive skill levels would naturally increase over time.

Accordingly, the only skill that needed to be leveled up with her skill points right now was [Enhanced Class 1 Large License (Lv.1)].

“What’s good about leveling up the [Enhanced Class 1 Large License] skill?”

“Would I choose to drive in this scary place?”

“Oh, that’s true?”

“Hmm? Why did you stop talking?”

Kkamang emitted an incomprehensible sound, almost like static.

Frowning, Kkamang replied grumpily.

“That’s ridiculous!”

Despite Ji-eun’s protest, Kkamang suddenly clamped its mouth shut and stopped talking altogether. Ji-Eun, glancing at Kkamang, abruptly opened the driver’s side door.

“I need to prepare to welcome customers. And I haven’t eaten the sandwiches I made earlier.”

“Yeah, so you come out too.”

“I’ll just leave you next to the calculator. And the sandwich.”

Holding the pink cushion she had placed in the passenger seat, she got out of the driver’s seat and continued speaking.

“I don’t want to eat alone either.”

<…….>

“So let’s eat together from now on.”

“What are you saying?”

Even as she spoke, Ji-eun smiled for the first time since entering the dungeon, watching Kkamang hop down after her.

* * *

“But, Kkamang.”

“Isn’t our first business going to fail?”

By now, the sandwiches Ji-eun had made had reached 10, but there was no sign of customers around the truck.

The only thing she could hear was the unsettling sounds of large spiders that were over 3m tall.

According to Kkamang’s explanation, this place was quite central on Floor 4, a dungeon only manageable by high-level hunters.

Unless a large dungeon exploration team came, it would be crazy for a small number of people to venture this far in.

As she made 10 sandwiches, listened to explanations about skills, and checked various things, time had already passed, and it was now past 3:20 PM.

Only about 1 hour and 40 minutes remained until the closing time of 5 PM.

Ji-eun chuckled at the sight of Kkamang, who, despite being in cat form, sat on the cushion with its legs crossed, holding the sandwich like a child and munching on it.

“What kind of cat sits like a person and eats with its hands?”

“Yeah, yeah. So what should we do with the remaining time?”

As Ji-eun sighed while looking at the 10 sandwiches she had prepared in square paper boxes with plastic lids, a loud bang echoed from somewhere.
