"Thank you"

Sitting next to each other, the party members which were on the verge of death moments before, were now happily munching on some jerky.

I was honestly quite shocked by how fast they recovered. Considering the state they were in when I found them, their recovery speed could be described as 'godly'. I mean, it only took them a little bit over 10 minutes before they were able to sit up straight and comfortably eat and drink the food that I gave them.

Then I realized, I was no longer back on earth.

Though I have reincarnated in this place for about 3 weeks, I was still not accustomed to this world's common sense, and rightfully so.

I mean, how can I adjust to this world's common sense after only having been here for three weeks?

It's not like I can rewire my brain to accept the fact that people could heal immediately when back in my previous world, in which I lived for 32 years, serious cases of dehydration would leave a person hospitalized for weeks.

I was now genuinely curious whether all the people who got reincarnated felt the same way I did.

Well leaving that aside, it seems like I was running low on supplies.

In terms of water, I still had quite a lot as my water bottle could hold up to 50 liters of water, but I was running quite low in terms of food.

I had only bought a couple of kilograms of food supplies, thinking that it would last me about a week, and rightfully so, as who would've been able to predict such a situation?

Moreover, since I was planning on staying here for at most 3 days, I didn't feel the need to bring more than a week's worth of food.

What makes matters worse is the fact that the monsters present in this dungeon couldn't be eaten.

Generally, monsters could be eaten but that depended on which monsters.

Some of the monsters which were found in some dungeons could be eaten, and when eaten could boost up a person's stats, however, that was only for a small minority of monsters, as most of them are inedible due to their meat being poisonous.

...and unfortunately for me, all the monsters in this dungeon were inedible.

"Guess I have no choice..."

Taking out a small black box from my bracelet, a slid the cover up and a small red bottom presented itself before me.

Right above the button, there was a small screen that showed fluctuating wavelengths, indicating the signal strength.

This black box, also known as the 'Safe box', was a device that is given to every member before they entered a dungeon.

By pressing the button, the black box would send a distress signal to the nearest dungeon guardian.

Once the dungeon guardian received the distress signal, they would report it to the dungeon operators, which would then swiftly send a rescue team to come to their aid.

The consequence of pressing the button was of course a loss in the deposit, but seeing how mentally exhausted the party was, I could only sacrifice my deposit.

When I was saving them, I did look for their safe boxes, but they were either damaged or malfunctioning.

...Probably from the fight they just had.

In the end, I was left with no choice but to use mine. At most I could just ask them to refund me since I was not using it for myself...

Taking one last look at the members who although physically looked okay but were anything but fine mentally, I decisively pressed the button.
