{Kim Dokja POV}

    I heard the sound of people talking. We went up the escalator and approached them. It seemed that four people were gathered in the lobby on the 1st floor.
Lee Jihye whispered, “Who are they? I never once saw their faces in Chungmuro.”
“Maybe they came from the ground side entrance.”

“Ground side? Isn’t that filled with poisonous fog? Furthermore, the scenario―”

“Different stations have different scenarios at different speeds. There are those who have finished the scenario faster than our station. If there is a weak poisoning, they can eat the meat from the underground species.”

    I said this but I was confused.

‘Prophets?’

    There was no information about such people in Yoo Jonghyuk’s life. At this point, Yoo Jonghyuk and I should be the only ones who knew about the hidden dungeon. They were all male so it’s different from Cale Henituse group because 98% of them is female and they are known for being two faces with strange viciousness that would scared the constellations and dokkaebis with their craziness.

    What caused the variables? Needless to say, I needed to find out.

“Then let’s go inside.”

    A blue spotlight was floating above the men talking. A bright light surrounded them and then they disappeared.

“…What happened to them?”

    Jung Heewon asked me but I didn’t answer. Instead, I was searching the posters on the wall. This was torn, that as well… by the time I reached the end of the wall, only one wasn’t torn. I read the words written on the poster.

    That bastard Yoo Jonghyuk… he left this one alone? As expected from the third regression.

    At that moment, the light came on again. This time, the spotlight was aimed on us. The surprised Lee Jihye and Lee Gilyoung stepped back, but there was no way to avoid it. The word ‘ray’ suited it.

     I asked Jung Heewon, “Heewon-ssi likes movies?”

“Of course. Do you usually like it?”

“You might hate it after this.”

“What do you―”

[You have been hit by a projection light.]
[The screening will begin.]

    The surrounding landscape started to slowly change. It wasn’t a simple illusion so Fourth Wall wasn’t activated as before. The old linoleum floor became covered with green bushes, while the reception desk and popcorn stand turned into a lush rainforest. The ceiling turned into a blue sky with no clouds and no end in sight. Lee Ji-hye muttered in a small voice.

“Where the hell is this place?”

    Lee Jihye shouted and hacked at the surrounding trees and bushes, but nothing changed. Lee Gilyoung started looking for insects with a calm expression.

    I tried to touch the nearby trees. It had a hard and moist texture. It was a real rainforest from the Mesozoic era. This was a different realism from the specter’s Welcome Prison. This was the power of the theatre master on the dungeon’s 8th floor.
“It is a movie.”

“…Really ridiculous things are happening.”

   A novel had become reality. There was no law that a movie couldn’t become reality as well.

   Jung Heewon was a fast adaptor and quickly understood.

“Ahjussi, what movie is this?”

“You’ll know soon.”

“…Can’t you just let me know? Wait a minute, what is this kid doing…?”

    At this moment, the shrubbery moved and something jumped out in front of Lee Gilyoung. An insect that resembled a giant preying mantis. The size was approximately 40cm. Lee Jihye was terrified and cried out.

“Hey Kid! Back away!”

    However, Lee Gilyoung responded calmly to the fuss.

“It isn’t a preying mantis. It is a Titanoptera from the Triassic period.

    Lee Gilyoung stretched out his hand to the titano. The insect didn’t refuse the touch and after a moment, Lee Gilyoung and the insect’s body was wrapped in a blue light.

    Lee Jihye watched with a stupid expression.

“This… what?”

“Fabre.”

    It really was good that I brought Lee Gilyoung. This guy’s ability might allow us to pass through the gateway more easily.

    The giant preying mantis moved its big mouth and Lee Gilyoung nodded. I didn’t know what it involved but they were having a conversation. After a while, Lee Gilyoung paled as he talked to the preying mantis.

   Lee Gilyoung hurriedly turned to me.

“Hyung!”

    As he spoke, the sound of the earth shaking was heard. It seemed that something was coming at a tremendous speed, smashing the huge palm trees.

   The muzzle of the giant reptile that appeared through the rainforest was covered with reddish blood. Some bloody men were running in front of it. It was the men who entered before us.

    Lee Jihye stepped back and spoke to Jung Heewon.

“I know what movie this is.”

“…Yes, me too.”

    A body that was over a dozen metres tall and hard skin. Fierce muscles dominated the entire body. The strongest predator of the Mesozoic Era was in front of us.

    At first glance, it was similar to a grade 7 monster. The difficulty level was atrocious considering this was the 1st floor of the dungeon. But my heart just thumped. The harder the hidden dungeon, the better the reward.

I pulled out a blade and said, “Get ready to fight.”

    Maybe Yoo Jonghyuk skipped only this movie because of the contents. The main reward of Theater Dungeon was related to the movie contents. Yoo Jonghyuk probably thought there weren’t any worthy rewards in a movie where dinosaurs appeared. But he didn’t know.

    In this movie, a really important reward was hidden.

“…Are you serious? We are going to fight that?”

“We need to beat it to make an exit.”

“The exit?”

“It is a long movie. Have you forgotten?”

    A T-rex was approaching quickly. The island’s central laboratory was seen behind it. And an escape helicopter was on the rooftop of the laboratory.

    This was a movie. A movie that the master of Theater Dungeon made into reality.

   Therefore, there was only one way to escape from here.

“Let’s make a great ending.”

    The moment the yellow eyes looked at us, a deafening roar echoed in our ears.

[The 7th grade, Tyrannosaurus Rex has recognized you.]

[The ‘Tyrannosaurus Rex’ has triggered the ‘Fear the Predator’ skill!]

[The exclusive skill Fourth Wall has blocked the effect of the ‘Fear the Predator’ skill.]

   My mind was calm thanks to Fourth Wall, but I could stop the chills that occurred. This was the fear towards a predator.

“Everyone, get out of the way!”

    The petrified Jung Heewon and Lee Jihye regained their spirits. I fell back with Lee Gilyoung beside me.

    A long tail flew through the forest in front of us.

   The men who were running fell on the backs and coughed up blood. Fortunately, Jung Heewon and Lee Jihye were away from the danger zone.

   I shouted to Lee Gilyoung lying down next to me.

“Gilyoung fall back, while Heewon-ssi and Jihye-ssi scatter to the left and right!”

   Then a message popped up.

[The character ‘Lee Gilyoung’ has activated the ‘Dinosaur Book’ skill!]

“Tyrannosaurus are agile compared to their size, but they are vulnerable due to their narrow field of view.”

“…What?”

“I saw it in a book when I was a child.”

“When you were a child?”

“…Younger than I am now.”

    I stared blankly at Lee Gilyoung. This wasn’t the time to tackle it.

[The exclusive skill ‘White Pure Star Energy’ has been activated.]

    I started waving the iridescent blade to attract the attention of the T-Rex. Lee Jihye and Jung Heewon weren’t tankers. I didn’t even need to mention Lee Gilyoung. Therefore, I was the only one who could take the risk here.

“While I draw its attention, attack its rear―”

   I hadn’t finished talking when I saw Lee Jihye and Jung Heewon already at the T-Rex’s rear. They noticed quickly.

    I barely avoided the incoming teeth and the stomping legs. Before I could wield Unbroken Faith, its tail passed over my head. An electrifying thrill swept over my body. I wouldn’t die because my stamina was over level 20, but it was dizzying.

   Maybe I had been lucky until now. I might be the ‘sunfish’ rather than Yoo Jonghyuk.

    Meanwhile, Jung Heewon and Lee Jihye was steadily dealing damage from the rear. It was a combination of ‘Sword Training’ and ‘Kendo.’ Noticeable sword wounds were being dealt to the T-Rex’s big legs. If this continued, it might take some time but the T-Rex would be defeated.

“Hyung! I’ll draw its attention!”

    The boy didn’t listen to me about staying in the rear.

“No, Gilyoung you―”

“I can do it!”

    All of a sudden, Lee Gilyoung came forward and started to make an unknown signal. I wanted to say something. Then a huge praying mantis came from somewhere, stabbed the T-Rex’s eyes and fled. It was the Titano that Lee Gilyoung had been talking to before.

    The T-Rex’s eyes moved confusedly as it followed the praying mantis that disturbed its vision. Lee Gilyoung used dazzling hand movements to control the praying mantis. I looked at Lee Gilyoung with a fresh mindset.

    Wasn’t this guy actually a hugely fraudulent character? No wonder why Yoo Jonghyuk coveted him.

    Thanks to Lee Gilyoung’s success, the battlefield quickly became advantageous. The T-Rex’s movements became duller while a red light shone in Jung Heewon and Lee Jihye’s eyes.

[Demon Slayer].

    It made them vulnerable to mental attacks but it was a good skill that made them stronger when they were excited. The sight of the two women’s eyes burning as they watched the rainforest was truly spectacular.

    It was a pity that I had lost Lee Jihye to Yoo Jonghyuk. However, Jung Heewon also had overwhelming growth potential. Judge of Destruction was a good attribute and she didn’t have a sponsor yet.

    It felt like the T-Rex’s stamina had decreased considerably. It was time to deal the final blow.

[Blade of Faith is activated!]

   I started to focus my remaining magic power. I didn’t have a sponsor, nor was I as fast as Jung Heewon or Lee Jihye. But that didn’t mean my attack power was weak. I had a fraudulent system that overcame all of this.

Ether Blade.

[The special option of Unbroken Faith is activated.]

[The ether property is converted to ‘fire.’]

    An enormous amount of magic power was sucked in and my physical fatigue became extreme. But I didn’t mind because there was a way to supplement it later.

   The blade increased by one metre and was surrounded by flames.

    I ran to the rear of the Tyrannosaurus.
“Everybody out of the way!”

    The moment that the Tyrannosaurus hesitated and its movements slowed, I climbed its tail. I almost fell over a few times because I didn’t have the ‘Sense of Balance’ but I somehow held on by stabbing the blade into the epidermis.

    The T-Rex poured out blood and its body rolled across the ground. I rammed the blade in wherever I could. Flames poured into the wounds caused by the blade.

    The yellow eyes of the T-Rex stared at me as it gasped painfully, before finally dying.
[You have succeeded in being the first to hunt the 7th grade species ‘Tyrannosaurus Rex!’]

[You have obtained 1,000 coins as compensation.]

   At this moment, a system message flashed in my head.

[The theater owner is satisfied with the changed ending of the movie.]

   Jung Heewon screamed like it was absurd.

   The strategy of Theatre Dungeon wasn’t to see the ‘real ending.’

    If so, Yoo Jonghyuk wouldn’t have been able to beat this dungeon. It was to create the desired ending for the ‘theatre master’ at the core of this dungeon. Please note that the theatre owner was an extreme psychopath.

“Do you understand now? We just need to smash it.”

    In other words, if we removed all the obstacles to the ending, the movie would end naturally.

[Now you can move to the next floor.]

[Go to the helipad on top of the research laboratory.]

“We will move in a little while. We have to get some rewards.”

    I started exploring the area around the T-Red. Soon after, I found one of the guys who entered before us. The rest were eaten or mutilated by the T-Rex.

“Hey, wake up.”

“U-Uwooh…”

   Blood was constantly flowing from the man. The wounds were from the T-Rex’s claws. The bones were revealing, making it obvious that this person couldn’t recover.
“Breathe slowly.”

“C-Cough! …Alive…”

    I fed the man drinking water I had brought in. The man drank some water before coughing up blood again. I was forced to urgently ask him questions.

“How did you come here?”

“P-Prophet…”

“Who are the prophets?”

    The man’s breathing was getting rougher.

“R-Revelation… received…”

…Revelation?

“I want to… live…”

   Blood burst out from the man’s mouth. He finally died. Jung Heewon and the others came up behind me.

“That person…?”

    I shook my head and looked down at the fallen man.

‘Revelation.’ What funny bullshit.

   As far as I knew, only Anna Croft had the ability of ‘Future Sight’ in Ways of Survival.
Then there was only one answer.

    There was someone else besides me. But they didn’t know as much as I did. The proof was that they didn’t dare come here in person to test out the information.

“Dokja-ssi?”

“Take a break.”

   We covered the man’s body with a large lead and gathered near the dad T-Rex. W had to hurry to pursue Yoo Jonghyuk. But if we didn’t get enough rest, the party would be wiped out before we met him.

    I searched the T-Rex’s body.

    I looked at the head and heart but unfortunately, I couldn’t find any monster cores. That didn’t mean there was no income. Jung Heewon drooled as she watched the T-Rex being cooked over the fire.

“…Can we eat this?”

“We can eat it because it is cooked with magic flames. The unripe parts can be cooked with the Magic Power Stove.”

    We sat side by side around the T-Rex’s leg. As we cut the cooked flesh of the T-Rex little by little, steam rose. Lee Gilyoung shouted.

“Fresh meat!”

    Lee Jihye hurriedly rushed up and grabbed a pierce first. The rest of the group, including myself, also picked large pieces of flesh. Meat of this size? It was a luxury that couldn’t be dreamt of back when I was an office worker. Lee Jihye closed her eyes while enjoying the taste. Then she murmured in an ecstatic voice.

    The fat was properly wrapped around the muscles, making it different from the ground rats. The feeling every time I took a bit… If Yoo Sangah was here, she would’ve cried.

    After I consumed the meat, I felt my stamina recovering. The meat of an advanced species had these special effects. However, caution was required in some cases. Jung Heewon sighed.

“Phew… I ate well. It is really delicious but I will cry if I eat anymore.”

   We had a moderate rest and then headed straight to the laboratory in the centre of the island.

    We encountered several raptors on the way but they were easy after the T-Rex.

    There were many flasks and ampoules in the laboratory. There were small incubators containing dinosaur embryos and blood samples collected. There was only one thing missing.

    My eyes caught a few items as we entered the inner corridor.

[Stamina Enhancing Ampoule]

[Magic Power Enhancing Ampoule]

[Agility Enhancing Ampoule]

[Strength Enhancing Ampoule]

    As expected, it was here. I started to pack the ampoules. Just like the Ichthyosaur’s Core, these comprehensive stat growth items were available only in the early scenarios.

    It wasn’t just one or two ampoules. There were close to 20 bottles. If this was the case, my stats would be able to level up explosively. It was in anticipation of this hidden scenario that I saved coins instead of investing them in my stats.

    These ampoules were only available when the corresponding stat was less than level 30.

“Ahjussi, what did you find now?”

…Ah, this ghost-like girl.

“What? Stamina Enhancement Ampoule?”
Lee Jihye’s eyes shone as she grabbed one ampoule.

“Are you trying to eat these alone?”

“Eat them all? Of course, I will share it.”

“Unni, look at this! Ahjussi…!”

    The other people in the party came closer due to the turmoil. Jung Heewon was shocked when she checked the item information.

“Oh my god… what are these items?”

“…This is a hidden scenario.”

    I spoke with a bit of disgruntlement. Damn, this was a bit difficult. I didn’t catch the T-Rex alone so taking all the items pricked my conscience…

[Some constellations are displeased with the situation.]

    Lee Jihye looked at the Strength Enhancement Ampoule and opened her mouth.

“Can you give me the Strength Enhancement Ampoule? I am a bit lacking in strength.”

     Frankly, it didn’t matter if the other party members received them but giving them to Lee Jihye was a bit of a waste. She was part of Yoo Jonghyuk’s group anyway. Only Cale Henituse group who always gives or sells the items that they got and try to not use any items that they get for some reason. I remembered that some people speculation about their restrictions as an otherworlders but the writer never said anything about it.

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ expects your fairness.]

    I smiled and made a suggestion.

“How about rock paper scissors?”

“Rock paper scissors?”

“There will be one winner at the end.”

     Greed filled Lee Jihye’s face.
“Okay!”

“Well… I will do what Dokja-ssi wants. But is it okay? It could be a mistake.”

“Then doesn’t that mean he is unlucky?”

     Lee Jihye asked. She was excited at the thought of getting a share of the items.
“Let’s start with a Strength Enhancement Ampoule.”

     I put out the Strength Enhancement Ampoule and said to Lee Jihye.

“You will face me.”

“I’m good at rock paper scissors. Will it be okay?”

“Ah, is that so?”

I smiled at Lee Jihye.

[Exclusive skill, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint stage 1 has been activated!]

[The character ‘Lee Jihye’ has prepared ‘scissors.’ ]

[The constellation Secretive Plotter is curious about your scam.]

[The constellations have sponsored you 200 coins.]

    The winner of the rock paper scissors was decided in an instant. Lee Gilyoung’s face was slightly flushed while Jung Heewon had a satisfied expression. Lee Jihye flopped to the ground with a devastated expression.

“…This is ridiculous!”

    Unfortunately, I couldn’t read Lee Gilyoung’s mind so two ampoules went to him.

    In addition, Jung Heewon won two Stamina Enhancement Ampoules. Jung Heewon received them with a smile. Hmm...can I read Cale Henituse group minds to scam or trick them to help me?

“Thank you. It was tough so far with my stamina.”

    It was only Lee Jihye who didn’t obtain any ampoules.

“How can you beat me 18 out of 20 times? Did you cheat?”

“I am originally good at rock paper scissors.”

“Are you really going to do this? Can’t you give me just one…”

“You have Yoo Jonghyuk.”

    I ignored Lee Jihye’s whines and packed the ampoules.

     Jung Heewon patted the shoulder of the
