Golden Ticket Frenzy and Malnutrition Horror
Golden petals fluttered down in a breathtaking spectacle, leaving the crowd spellbound.
Swoosh—
While everyone was lost in a daze, a ticket slowly descended to the ground. In that instant, someone bolted forward.
Thud-thud—
As one person dashed out, the rest snapped to their senses and followed suit.
"…That's mine!!!!!"
"Let's go get itttt!!!!!!"
"Waaaaaah, it's a golden ticket event—!!!!!!!!!!"
The people scattered in all directions, scrambling to snatch up the tickets.
Wait, what the fuck? This feels like déjà vu... wasn't it the same this morning?
Hey hey hey Goseongji, go grab one quick!!!
How many hours is that ticket??? No way it's unlimited, right?
Goseongji what are you doing—!!!!! Grab it quick and tell us the deets—!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"…I could just get one from the Dungeon Master, though…."
Fuck, Goseongji you teasing bastard, we're dying to know right now!!!
Fr, get your ass over there and grab a ticket;
Sigh... can't even punish him with poop memes anymore...
Goseongji glanced toward where the people had rushed off, reacting to the chat.
Woooaaahhhh—!!!
It was pure chaos over there. Of course, with tickets scattered across the entire park, the crowd density had actually thinned out, so it didn't look as dangerously riotous as that morning.
"Move aside, I picked this one up first—!!!"
"Um... mister, could you give me that ticket?"
"Gaaahhh, a spinster elf is after my ticket—!!!!"
People were jostling and fighting for their own tickets.
Considering the number of tickets that had fallen earlier and the current park population, it seemed like everyone could snag at least one…
"Hmm… I don't really wanna mix into that crowd…."
Sip... yeah, jumping into that doesn't look easy...
Chicken?
You can do it Goseongji, let's gooooo—!!!!!!
As Goseongji seriously pondered joining the ticket scrum,
a golden ticket drifted down right above him.
Flutter—
"Huh? One just dropped right on top of me?"
[...fuck, I wanted to see you dive into that mess]
Look at this guy's luck... freed from the eraser, now the universe is on his side?
Whatever, spill the specs quick, I'm dying here;
"Ah… yeah, I'm curious too, so lemme try it right now."
Riiip—
Just like that rude guy earlier, a golden ring appeared on Goseongji's wrist when he tore the ticket.
And in the corner of his vision, a golden timer overlaid the existing one.
07:59:57
Not only that, a new window popped up in front of him.
Golden Tickets allow free entry and exit.
Upon exit, the timer pauses, preserving remaining time.
To enter or exit, speak aloud or think it strongly.
"Oh… this one's got a full 8 hours? And it seems to save your remaining time on exit."
Insane;;; With this ticket, no more shitting emergencies in the dungeon;;;
Emergency evac during combat possible? Delay issue?
Probably 2-3 sec delay since it's not instant TP, tough mid-fight?
But time save is straight GOAT tho…?
Plus, fill bag, go home, grab fresh bag, re-enter and farm lololololololol
Word of the new ticket spread like wildfire through Goseongji's stream to the gallery.
Isekai Survival Gallery
Crazy, guys the new golden ticket is 8 hours lololololololol
Wtf why no open run for an event like this smh;
Lol the retard who opened the park shop grabbed a golden ticket, lucky bastard~
Sigh;;; Left the park not even 30 min ago, feel robbed;; gimme ticket too….
Key is whether regular tickets get upgraded to golden
What if it's event-only?
Then wtf? Regulars get discontinued?
Reason: This is a guerrilla event right now.
Video shows thousands dropped, so they're testing steady supply with a preview drop?
Dungeon guy prolly posting patch notes soon.
More importantly, this could revolutionize dungeon farming...
No wasted time, max ticket efficiency—insane. Bags limited resources before.
Free entry/exit breaks that limit, resource output gonna skyrocket?
Shelter food crisis basically solved fr.
Whoa... really?
Golden tickets normalize the shelter? How far does his power go...
If regulars upgrade, full 8hr park shifts? Real?? Heard other parks coming, hyped…
Kids... don't just celebrate, hear that monster mat prices crashing? lol I went all-in on inner cores when fruits dropped and got rich lmao
Nㄴfuck;;; I full sold cores during fruit crisis…
ㄴSugar was luxury back then, alt came out so prices dipped obv lol
New Dungeon Hwang... I believe in you now…
If market worked anywhere not just safe zones, infinite farming no bag limit...
*
The guy who'd thrown a tantrum earlier, refusing to leave the park for the show.
His prayers answered, he snagged a miracle golden ticket, praised Dungeon Hwang, and arrived at the venue buzzing with excitement.
"What… the hell…."
The venue, packed just moments ago, was deserted.
He knew the crowds had rushed the opposite way for golden tickets, but…
He never imagined even the performers would bail.
Staring at the empty stage, he muttered.
"…Everyone bounced? Silence Feel's show…? What the… Dungeon Hwang… Dungeon Master…?"
*
…I woke to a soft, warm sensation.
"…You're up?"
What I saw was Elise's face… not her chest.
'Knee pillow again…'
Overwhelming exhaustion had knocked me out, but still in the park, so not much time passed….
00:03:11
…Timer said about 5-6 minutes down.
"…Sorry."
"No biggie, it's not your fault. All that bitch Charlotte and her entourage's doing…."
No… Elise… this was my screw-up….
I'd just meant to test one ticket, but this space had zero restrictions on power—like no safety rails—so it all drained out unchecked.
'Sigh… no wonder it flowed out so easily….'
Pulling power for the ticket felt raw, no safeguards. All or nothing, like on/off only….
Guess handling power in dungeons needs practice too….
At least mass-producing golden tickets worked.
Golden petals drifting down slowly, distant crowd cheers.
Unplanned, but mass production succeeded.
'…Now how to handle this mess….'
Need a public notice at least…
"While you were out, some wild shit went down."
Elise brushed my hair back as she spoke.
"You should've seen it… so beautiful? Golden ticket, huh… Dungeon Master dropped another new one."
"…You not gonna grab one like everyone else?"
The folks clustered near the venue had spread to our area, picking up tickets.
"Haha!! Second one already!!"
"Hey, share just one!!"
"Finder's keepers—!!"
The guy with a light ring already tore his ticket.
But for some reason, it didn't stack—instead, gold wrapped the wrist of another nearby guy.
"Huh?"
"Whoa, thanks haha!!!"
Golden tickets don't stack like regulars, apparently….
Maybe exceeds some capacity limit. Just a guess.
'Tries to stack… transfers to nearest person….'
News to me.
Elise thought a sec, then said,
"I'm… good with you here? You'll hook me up anyway."
"……Even skipping the one right in front of us?"
A golden ticket lay just steps away.
"Your head's too heavy, can't move."
"Then lemme get up…."
She pushed me back down.
"You're not well, rest more."
Sigh… passing up a ticket inches away. This girl's hopeless….
"Elise… you're trash at ticketing…."
Thwack—!
Got a forehead flick.
*
Elise and I killed the rest of our time on the bench before heading home.
"Ah~ that was fun."
"Felt like I was laid out most of the time after a bit… sorry."
"I said it's fine? Make it up next time if you're that sorry."
"…Go again with me?"
"Obviously!! Tons left to enjoy, you're escorting."
"…Sure."
…At this point, even I couldn't miss it. Super awkward….
Already planned marriage with Luna, but my future vision was morphing from nice boat to wholesome family man.
— Oppa… who's that girl? Wanna see me snap…? Ah, lock her in the basement and raise her?
…Luna's usually sweet, but unstable streaks in her psyche could spark this. Her heavy dependence on me amplifies it…
— Baek Soo-chan, you gave me a motorcycle, and there's another girl? Ha… haha… crazy right? Kill you and myself?
…Seeing Elise clash with Charlotte today, she hates anyone touching what's hers. Super possessive type.
Chill—
Dangerous….
Horrific scenarios if those two meet.
Only worst-case family nightmares in my head.
This… needs early intervention….
"Elise… actually, I'm…."
"Hey, you go when I say. See ya tomorrow."
Bam—
"……."
Lately, her words felt controlling.
Might've passed the point of fixing…
"…One more motorcycle flick and she'll lose interest?"
Won't work…
Just rambling hopelessly…
I'm her disciple, she's my master—can't snap that easily.
"Exhausted…."
But no rest yet—gotta post evening tickets, notice, figure golden supply.
'Hmm… goldens prolly cost 5x+ regular… can I mass-produce steadily?'
Passed out, but dungeon pumped tons, so maybe possible?
Musing that, I opened my door.
An unbelievable sight hit me.
The Kkomangi I'd sucked on, kneaded, farted on belly, nibbled sloppily, bounced like a stress ball, grabbed tail to smack back for massage, used as pillow/cushion sometimes, squeezed like slime toy for that texture, hugged tight to rub face raw—totally indestructible, immortal basically…
lay shriveled on the floor like all nutrients drained, just husk left.
"K-Kko-Kkomangiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Keh… keheng…."
