chapter 32
32 – Eternal Warehouse
The day Mars Arena ended.
The content of the bet with the president that I hadn’t told the students before. It told me the back part.
At first everyone took it as a joke.
However, none of the students were surprised when I said that I was not joking.
It wasn’t too much.
All of the items in the Eternal Warehouse are the only things the country treats as treasure among treasures.
We were able to take each of those items one by one.
It was strange not to be surprised.
After deciding the date to enter the Eternal Vault with the students, I informed Atalanta of the date to enter the Eternal Vault.
And now.
With Atalanta’s guidance, the students and I arrived in front of the Eternal Storage, which was hidden in the basement of the academy.
‘Is this the entrance to the eternal storehouse?’
The entrance to Eternity Warehouse, which I had only heard about through rumors, was very shabby, unlike what I thought.
I thought there would be a door made of a special material to match the reputation of the Eternal Warehouse.
However, the door in front of me was a shabby wooden door.
There was not even a guard guarding the entrance.
“Is this really the eternal warehouse?”
It was a very shabby appearance compared to the contents inside.
“Does it look shabby?”
“…… To be honest, it’s far from what I thought.”
“Whoops. Everyone says so at first. How is it? Would you like to open it yourself?”
The wooden door didn’t even have the common keyhole.
It seemed like it would open easily if I held the handle and gave it strength.
But I didn’t open it.
“Looks like something.”
“Right! You are sharper than you think. Although it looks lax from the outside, it is a door with a barrier. If someone other than me had opened the door, it would have been falling from the sky by now.”
The president spoke with an innocent smile, but I couldn’t laugh.
“…… Did you ask me to open it now?”
“You didn’t mean to open it anyway. Is not it?”
That was true.
“Well, just kidding. Joke. Don’t look at me with that expression. If Mr. Derian really tried to open the door, I would have stopped him before then.”
“Even if it’s a joke, I hope you don’t joke like that.”
“…… I’ll think about that. Then, shall we really go in now?”
Atalanta reaches out and grabs the handle of the wooden door.
She pulls on her door with force.
Kikik.
The wooden door began to open.
“Wow.”
“What is all that?”
“You can’t see the end.”
“Bow, where is the bow!”
“… ….”
When the door was fully opened, the scenery inside the Eternity Warehouse unfolded.
A corridor with no end in sight.
Innumerable items that looked rare were hung on both sides of it.
“That is spectacular.”
“The outside is a little bit, but the inside is ‘real’.”
Actually, the hallway itself looked normal, except that there was no end in sight.
But the objects decorating both sides of the hallway.
They made the hallway look out of the ordinary.
“Can I come in?”
The door is open.
All I had to do was go inside, pick out the items, and come out.
“Yes. You can go in and take one of each.”
Her permission was dropped.
All I had to do was move to the text.
“Ah, I forgot to tell you, but don’t choose friends who talk a lot. If you don’t want to get tired.”
“What do you mean talkative guys?”
“Go inside and you will find out.”
Whoops. It was Atalanta who smiled and said meaningful words.
She was concerned, but she didn’t seem to answer even if I asked, so she moved her steps to the warehouse.
“It will be a bit noisy.”
She was the president who spoke incomprehensible words even the moment she entered the warehouse.
And the moment I fully stepped inside her warehouse, I could see what Atalanta meant.
[Human?]
[Human?]
[What, are you a real human?]
[Humans appeared!]
[Where, where are you?!]
The moment she fully stepped into her warehouse, she heard countless voices in her head.
“Sir, can’t you hear the strange voice?”
“What, what are you guys! Get out of my head right now!”
“Ugh. It’s noisy.”
“Reveal your identity!”
The students who entered the warehouse were confused as to whether the voice could only be heard by me.
I turned her gaze to Atalanta outside her door.
It was only then that Atalanta, who felt my gaze, opened her mouth and spoke.
“There are more ‘ego’ stored in the Eternal Warehouse than we thought. So it’s a bit noisy.”
Ego.
An object with an ego.
The number is so small that it is a rare item to see.
There are countless numbers of such items on display in the Eternity Warehouse.
“The kids there have a strong desire to go out, so they talk nonsense. If possible, I would recommend not choosing items that contain ego.”
[Hey, ignore what that old woman says and take me out! If you take me out, I will give you the world!]
[Hey there human. Ignore that bragging spear and take me out, if you do that, I’ll make all the women in the world look at you.]
[Stop bragging in moderation! What are you going to let the masked subject have? Human there! Take me out! If you do, I will kill all enemies that stand in your way. Take me out!]
From the moment we entered the warehouse, countless voices continued to haunt us.
The goal of the objects was that everyone wanted to get out of this stuffy warehouse.
‘I want to get rid of the ringing in my head quickly.’
If I were to live in a warehouse like this, I would feel like leaving. It had nothing to do with me.
“Still, it’s good that the description of what kind of item is written.”
The description of the item was written on the wall where the item was hung.
『 Bangcheonhwageuk 』
A spear used by an unknown general in the east, his ego remains strong.
The ego remains strong, and there is a risk of the user’s ego being taken away.
『Ghost Mask』
A mask found at a ball in a certain kingdom.
Women are attracted to the wearer.
However, if you wear it for a long time, there is a risk that your ego will be taken away by the mask.
『 Hrunting 』
A demonic sword that eats blood.
It is a demonic sword that has an unknown ego and craves blood.
The more blood it absorbs, the harder it becomes, and can cut through anything.
‘Why is the magic sword here?’
I didn’t know there was a magic sword.
Fortunately, the explanation was written, so I was able to ignore it.
Everything out of the ordinary.
It made me realize once again that this place is an eternal warehouse.
“Oh! It is a bow. Bow!”
“Here, this ring is pretty! They say there is a spirit inside the ring!”
“How about this necklace?”
“This sword. Isn’t that bad?”
“If this is enough, will you forgive me for breaking and eating Barisada?”
Students were already choosing what to take with them.
‘Then should I choose?’
Suddenly, I looked around to find something, but I couldn’t find anything I liked. I took a step further inward.
How much did it cost?
Now was the time when both the voices of the students and the voices of the egos became distant and slow.
[Finally! You’ve finally arrived! Damned gilchi guy!]
“Are there still egos left?”
I thought the voice of the ego was quiet, but then I started to hear it again.
[Where are you looking! Come here quickly!]
‘What is it?’
Unlike the egos I’ve heard so far, it was an ego that spoke as if it knew me.
[Are you just pretending not to hear? Can you still call me my apostle! Can’t you come to me soon!]
“… ….”
[Ii Iik! Oh, I mean! Come to me quickly! You gilchi boy!]
Ego is desperately looking for me.
At this point, I became curious about the identity of the ego.
I moved towards the voice.
There, a pair of pure white gloves hung on the wall.
[I finally get to see your face.]
“Do you know me?”
[What?]
“I asked if you knew me.”
[Did you know?! I should have asked if you knew now!!!]
Suddenly excited and screaming ego.
She carries on her words.
[20 Years! I have been waiting for you for 20 years in this rotten warehouse. What are you doing, you just showed up! Damn you stray bastard!]
20 Years…….
It overlaps with the time I fell into this world.
“You…… What is your true identity?”
As you ask, read the explanation written next to it.
『Unknown gloves』
Holy Kingdom. Pope of Valieri. Antonio’s entrusted item.
You requested storage in the Eternal Warehouse for no reason.
If someone wants to take it out, they ask that they hand it over without stopping it.
‘Seongguk?’
[Identity? Did you come here knowing nothing? It can’t be?]
“I don’t know who you are.”
Continuing silence.
She opens her mouth first.
[…] … It seems that there was a problem.]
There is a problem. She says she And the way she spoke also changed.
[Let me introduce you. I am the one who brought you into this world. God of this world. It is Aether.]
“You? You called me here? 20 Years ago?”
[Yes.]
“Why why?”
[To save my world, I needed a human from another dimension. That’s why I brought you here.]
“Save the world? In 20 years nothing has happened that would pose a threat to the world.”
[Destruction comes from an unknown place.]
I was confused.
I didn’t understand everything, whether it was destruction or God, but one thing was certain.
“So you called me to this world?”
[…] … Yes, it is.]
Things have been decided.
Roughly remove the gloves.
[Kyaaa!]
Does it feel pain?
I’m glad then.
Pull the glove as hard as you can.
[Kyaaa! What, what are you doing! Mmm, stop!]
“Shut up, damn b*tch! I’ll tear you to shreds right here today!”
I found the culprit of the damn metastasis, but there was no way they would let me go.
I am today. 20 Years will be solved.
