"Phew..." As Jun-Hyung rose to his feet, wiping the sweat from his brow, he took a moment to admire the fruits of his labor. The final nail hammered with precision, secured the bar counter in place. The passage of time had gone unnoticed, and the clock now displayed 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Despite the hours invested, Jun-Hyung felt a surge of pride as he gazed upon the finished product.
Jun-Hyung's restaurant had undergone a captivating transformation. To the left, a captivating bar counter now graced the space, seamlessly connecting the dining area with the kitchen. On the right, the entrance to the kitchen and the bathroom awaited, offering both convenience and practicality.
As Jun-Hyung diligently worked, the sudden reverberation of a mighty truck echoed through the surroundings, capturing his attention. Setting aside his hammer, he stepped outside. The items he had eagerly ordered had finally arrived, ready to find their place within his realm.
"Would you like help moving it inside?" One of the workers asked.
---
Outsides are not allowed inside the restaurant as it has officially not been open.

"Ah... no, but you can leave it out here. I'll Hake it in." Juh-Hyug decided as he was sobbing within. Just how was he going to bring everything inside by himself?
"Oh... okay." The worker spoke, never expending Jon-Hyung would refuse, But this only meant less work for the worker, so he quickly left.
Jun-Hyung sighed as he stared at the pile of furniture and appliances in front of his restaurant.
Jun-Hyung embarked on a bustling half-hour of labor, carefully transporting each item inside and arranging them to his liking. A symphony of movement filled the air as he meticulously placed each piece in its designated spot, breathing life into his vision.
Transitioning seamlessly, Jun-Hyung then shifted his attention to the art of cleanliness and functionality. For another half hour, he worked diligently, swiftly moving through the restaurant. Every nook and cranny received his meticulous care as he banished dust and grime from every surface. With a keen eye and skilled hands, he methodically ensured that every aspect of his cherished establishment was in proper working order, leaving no detail unchecked. He didn't know why, but he felt a great sense of pleasure doing so.
Though when he was setting up the stove and the fridge, he quickly realized that the restaurant had running water, gas, and energy despite the place being abounded for quite some time, so making sure that he turned everything off, he safely installed everything.

Congratulations! Your restaurant has finally opened! Your restaurant has established connections to realm one. Please make a name for your restaurant.

"Huh? Established connections to realm one? What does that mean?" Jun-Hyung thought in confusion but quickly shifted his focus to another thing. "A name, huh... how about Aetheria's Tavern."
There was not particular reason why he chose that as its name. Mostly because it was new English words he had learned in school.
Stepping into his kitchen, Jun-Hyung was greeted by the sight of bowls and plates standing tall, stacked upon one another, their varied shapes and patterns hinting at the gastronomic delights they were destined to hold. Utensils lay in organized arrays, their shiny surfaces catching the light. The kitchen exuded an atmosphere of readiness and anticipation. This was most likely the things he got from the starter pack.
In a fleeting moment, the entrance to Jun-Hyung's restaurant swung open, accompanied by the melodious jingle of the bell, instantly capturing his focus. Curiosity sparked within him like a flame, prompting him to steal a glance from the depths of the kitchen. However, as the figure stepped into view, a wave of bewilderment crashed upon Jun-Hyung's shores, leaving him perplexed and questioning the unexpected turn of events.
With a resounding thud, the man crossed the threshold into the restaurant, his heavy iron boots echoing through the air, each step a firm declaration of his presence. The clack of his boots on the wooden floor reverberated. A symphony of metal resounded as his iron chest plate shifted against the rugged texture of his iron helmet, adorned with narrow slits that concealed his eyes, veiling his identity in an enigmatic shroud. A testament to his noble calling, an iron sword dangled from his waist, its weight symbolizing his devotion to honor and protection.
In this surreal encounter, Jun-Hyung found himself transfixed, caught between reality and fantasy.
"What the fuck...?"
