MAY BE GUILD RECEPTIONIST BUT SOLO ANY BOSS LN SC (2025)

Alina Clover signed up to be a receptionist for the Adventurers Guild thinking it would be her ticket to the good life. Unfortunately, her dream gig turns into an overtime nightmare whenever the adventurers get stuck clearing a dungeon. To save herself from a mountain of paperwork, Alina takes to beating down monsters herself to solve the problem! Now she just needs to keep her activities a secret...

Iffole's annual Centennial Festival is right around the corner, and Alina is hellbent on participating this year instead of doing overtime like she did during the last two festivals. But her aspirations are jeopardized when the receptionist counter is swarmed with adventurers just a few days before the festival! It turns out they're all convinced that anyone who clears a secret quest will get a powerful skill. So what's a girl to do? Simple-give the creator of that baseless rumor a beatdown!  

Despite her best efforts to avoid doing so, Alina Clover finds herself sneaking off in the night yet again to smash monsters (and walls) in dungeons to cut down on her overtime. But a glimmer of hope emerges when Alina learns of a new policy being implemented at the reception counter: Employees who submit a compelling operational improvement plan will be given a day off on their birthday. Now Alina is fixated on getting that birthday break...even though she's totally stumped for ideas to propose!

When Alina is assigned to oversee a battle tournament held once every four years, she knows she's in for one hell of a workload. Good thing Iffole Counter is holding the grand prize, a rare and valuable statue which is, crucially, unbreakable-it's the perfect thing to take out her frustrations on. That is, until she smacks it too hard, and its head pops right off! Will she have to pay for it? And worse, what if someone finds out a mere receptionist broke the unbreakable? Alina's only choice is to glue the thing back together, win the tournament, and take home the prize herself!

After putting all her blood, sweat, and tears into her work, cutting costs, and yet more overtime, Alina has finally budgeted enough for the staff of Iffole Counter to take a two-day trip to a resort! After finishing her first fantastic day off, she dives into bed full of satisfaction... only to wake up back at the beginning of day one. Now she's stuck in an endless loop, unable to go home. Someone has ruined her precious vacation, and when she finds them, they're going to get a taste of her hammer.
