Chapter 80

When the punch bag exploded, the surroundings became chaotic.

“Wow!”

“What was that sound just now? Did a bomb go off?”

“It seems like the punch machine’s bag exploded.”

“Why did it suddenly explode?”

“That man standing over there hit it, and it exploded.”

“Huh? Are you serious?”

“That man definitely made it explode. I was watching the whole time.”

“Was the bag defective…?”

People were looking back and forth between me and the punch machine, murmuring. They seemed quite shocked.

By the way, I was also shocked.

I didn’t expect the bag to explode from just one punch.

‘Why is the punch bag’s durability so weak?’

This wasn’t my first time using a punch machine.

I had tried it a few times during my school days.

But this was the first time the bag exploded in one hit.

‘Did my strength increase? It’s the first time I’ve made it explode in one hit.’

Maybe it was already on the verge of exploding.

After all, the punch machine isn’t something only I use.

Well, whatever the reason.

Right now, dealing with this situation was the priority.

I couldn’t just run away without compensating for the damage.

‘First, I should contact the arcade owner…’

While I was checking if there was a phone number written on the machine,

the arcade owner, who seemed to be a woman, came running in a hurry.

“Owner! Over here!”

“What, what! It really exploded?”

Listening to her words,

it seemed she had already heard about the situation and came running.

‘Of course, I need to compensate, but first, I should apologize.’

Just as I was about to bow my head to apologize sincerely for unintentionally damaging the property,

“Oh, I’m so sorry!”

For some reason, the owner apologized first.

Then, she nervously and quickly scanned my body.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Huh? No, I’m not hurt…”

“Phew… I’m glad you’re not hurt… Anyway, I sincerely apologize again!”

The owner let out a sigh of relief and apologized again.

This time, she even bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

‘Why is she apologizing?’

I couldn’t understand at all.

Why are the roles reversed?

Shouldn’t I be the one apologizing?

As I was questioning the strange turn of events,

“Yesterday, I replaced the punch bag with a new one, but I never thought it would be defective…”

Listening to the owner’s words,

I could understand the current situation.

‘Ah, she must be misunderstanding that it exploded because it was defective.’

It seems she never considered the possibility that I made the bag explode.

Well, it’s natural to think that way.

This is a gender-reversed world.

A place where men’s strength is abnormally weak.

The onlookers also started nodding in agreement when they heard it was a defective product.

“Ah, so it exploded because it was defective?”

“That makes sense. It’s impossible for a man to make that explode.”

“Even a woman couldn’t make that explode.”

“Anyway, it’s a relief that the man wasn’t hurt.”

It was rather fortunate.

I wouldn’t be sued for property damage.

‘…Still, I should compensate out of conscience.’

For now, I shamelessly accepted the apology,

and decided to anonymously send two punch machines later.

***

After wrapping up the situation,

I picked up the camera I had placed nearby and checked the chat on my phone.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] – Gyesekkihoon, I’m sorry for messing around with you.

[Handsome Licker] – Me too… *lick*.

[Se-hoon Defense Team] – LOL Se-hoon is ridiculously strong.

[Maehwa Tree] – If he had punched seriously, even the building behind would’ve been destroyed.

[Reverse Rape Mania] – For real?

[Drifting AI] – I’ll say it. If Gye Se-hoon had punched seriously, the world would’ve been destroyed.

[Reverse Rape Mania] – For real???

[Jujijoa] – It’s not that extreme, you crazy bitches. Don’t exaggerate. Reverse Rape, you idiot, you’d actually believe that.

[BigGirl] – Se-hoon is handsome, strong, good at fighting… The more I see, the more charming he is.

[Reverse Rape Mania] – You like strong men too?

[Qkrnfl892] – Strong men… Distorted sexual desires…

[Min Ji] – Didn’t they just say the machine was defective?

[Yoho] – Min Ji, read the room. Just hype up the room master, why say that? -_-

[Min Ji] – Oh.

[Maehwa Tree] – Even if it was defective, if your strength is weak, you can’t make it explode.

[Min Ji] – Ah, that’s true. But why is Se-hoon strong even though he’s a man? Is it a special constitution?

[Yoho] – It’s none of your business.

[Min Ji] – ㅗ

[Balloon Gum Collector] – Wow! What was the punch score?

[Maid] – Wow! What was the score!

“Score? The score didn’t show up.”

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] – OMG Gyesekkihoon’s punch power is beyond measurement…

“And Guburi, if I ever meet you in real life, be ready to get hit.”

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] – ?? Why the hell are you cursing?

“You’re curious about my punch score? Since I couldn’t measure it today, you can take a hit and score it yourself.”

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] – Are you crazy? F*** off!

[Balloon Gum Collector] – Wow! Human measuring device!

[Maid] – Guburi measuring device!

[Qkrnfl892] – LOL Guburi’s school trauma is resurfacing, isn’t it?

[Se-hoon Defense Team] – For real LOL He’d probably be a human sandbag.

[Handsome Licker] – Agreed. If Guburi were my student, I’d use him as a human sandbag. *lick*.

[Yoho] – ?? Is that something a moral teacher should say?

[Reverse Rape Mania] – How did he even become a teacher?

[Min Ji] – Where does that person teach? I should report him.

[Handsome Licker] – Just kidding. I hate school violence the most. I despise it.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] – I didn’t get hit all the time, you idiots. And anyway, I won’t meet Gyesekkihoon. Bye.

“I can just come find you. I should catch you and hit Guburi sometime.”

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] – Don’t come find me. F***.

[Drifting AI] – I’ll say it. I’ll track down Gyeongsaeng Guburi’s address for you.

“Thanks, Drifting. Just send the address to my email.”

[Drifting AI] – I’ll say it. Got it.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] – You idiots.

After exchanging jokes like this,

I continued walking around the city and communicating with the viewers.

***

This time, I stopped by a coin karaoke place.

The viewers were curious about my singing skills, and I also wanted to loosen up my throat after a long time.

And fortunately,

the songs I used to enjoy singing in the previous world also existed in this world.

Although the genders of the singers were reversed.

Anyway, the rap I was passionately singing now was a famous song called “Let’s Go Die.”

“Let’s go die, the coffin is ready!”

“Ride on the Grim Reaper’s back!”

“I’ll give you an enema for your shit-filled head!”

“Cut that f***ing lesbian’s throat! Stab her belly!”

After finishing the song,

I looked at the viewers’ reactions with great anticipation.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] – I’ll kill you.

[Jujijoa] – Please stop singing. We were wrong.

[Maehwa Tree] – Ah, this is a bit…

[Se-hoon Defense Team] – You sing so badly. LOL

[Handsome Licker] – LOL God is fair, after all. *lick*.

[Drifting AI] – I’ll say it. It’s overflowing with humanity.

[Reverse Rape Mania] – I’ve never seen someone sing worse than me.

[BigGirl] – Se-hoon, please don’t sing anymore.

[Qkrnfl892] – If it were any other man, I’d have roasted him, but why does Se-hoon look cute? LOL

[Yoho] – Room master, you don’t have to sing.

[Min Ji] – Being tone-deaf is also a kind of charm.

[Balloon Gum Collector] – Wow! The haters are coming out again!

[Maid] – Wow! Haters!

[Qkrnfl892] – I’m not a hater. Honestly, it was cute.

“…Why are the reactions like this? Was it that bad? Not a single person is complimenting me.”

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] – F***, record yourself and listen.

[Jujijoa] – Yeah, you sing terribly.

[Qkrnfl892] – Was it that bad? LOL

[Maehwa Tree] – Did you really expect compliments after singing like that? Where’s your conscience?

[Handsome Licker] – But where did you even find a song like that? LOL *lick*.

[Reverse Rape Mania] – Seriously. I’ve never heard a song with so many curses.

[BigGirl] – That’s actually a pretty famous song.

[Yoho] – Room master, don’t be discouraged! I liked it!

[Min Ji] – Cheer up!

It seems that

my singing clearly divides opinions.

The viewers seem to dislike it,

but back in the military, my seniors praised me for singing well.

“Hmm… Maybe it’s because it’s rap? I’ll sing a ballad this time, so evaluate it again.”

[Yoho] – Oh no.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] – Don’t sing, you crazy bastard!

[Jujijoa] – I should mute this.

[Maehwa Tree] – Stop singing and let’s go somewhere else.

“There are still two songs left, it’s a waste to just leave. I’m pretty good at ballads, so just listen.”

[Min Ji] – Ah.

[Balloon Gum Collector] – Wow! Eardrum terrorist!

[Maid] – Wow…

[BigGirl] – Don’t do it. I’m warning you.

[Se-hoon Defense Team] – If we tell you not to sing, don’t sing. F***.

[Reverse Rape Mania] – We’re sorry.

Ignoring the viewers’ desperate pleas,

I finished the remaining two songs, and because their reactions annoyed me, I sang six more songs.

***

After leaving the coin karaoke,

I wandered aimlessly around the city for a while.

Then, I decided to have an early dinner and head to the hotel I had booked to rest.

By the way,

the hotel I booked this time wasn’t an ordinary lodging.

Of course, checking in and staying overnight is the same as any other hotel.

But unlike other hotels,

this one has a special and fun event prepared in the morning.

To outline the event’s sequence:

You stay on the top floor of the hotel.

In the morning, you follow the hotel staff’s instructions.

Overcome various obstacles and challenges to make it to the first floor and check out.

The first person to escape gets a special reward.

That’s the order.

In other words, this is a hotel that combines a haunted house and an escape room.

I explained this concept to the viewers step by step.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] – Oh, f***, that sounds fun. LOL

[Handsome Licker] – OMG Se-hoon is preparing proper content? *lick*.

[Reverse Rape Mania] – Tomorrow, the sun will rise from the east.

[Drifting AI] – I’ll say it. The sun always rises from the east.

[Min Ji] – There’s a hotel like that? How innovative.

[Yoho] – I didn’t know there was such a hotel in our neighborhood.

[BigGirl] – I didn’t know either.

[Jujijoa] – It’s not some kind of yokai hotel, right?

[Maehwa Tree] – There are no stupid yokai running a hotel in the middle of Seoul. If there were, they’d be exorcised immediately.

[Qkrnfl892] – Wow. Our Se-hoon has grown so much. He even found a unique hotel for content.

[Se-hoon Defense Team] – For real LOL I’m so proud. You’ve grown, Gye Se-hoon!

[Balloon Gum Collector] – Wow! Se-hoon is a pro broadcaster!

[Maid] – Wow! Porn!

The viewers’ reactions were better than expected.

It seems they liked the content I prepared.

Anyway,

after finishing the explanation, I arrived at the hotel I had booked.

A shabby 10-story hotel.

This was the “Hell Escape Hotel” I had booked for today.

***

Entering through the hotel’s main door,

an employee standing alone in the lobby greeted me.

“Welcome.”

A round, red nose.

Thick lips stretched into a wide grin.

Eyes curved like crescent moons.

An employee wearing a typical clown mask.

“Do you have a reservation?”

“Yes.”

“Name?”

“Gye Se-hoon.”

“…Yes. Confirmed. Welcome to our Hell Escape Hotel.”

I had a feeling this would be fun.
