I Live Alone in the Inventory

Episode 48.

The bonfire in the center of the four was roaring.

The image of a blazing bonfire was reflected in Liddell’s white snow.

-Hey, you sound weird. Cleared [Trial of the Gods]? Then, what is the [Trial of the Gods] that is currently in progress? –

“The [God’s Trial] I cleared is not the [God’s Trial] here. You’ve already been feeling strange. Whether it’s various items that don’t fit the level here, or abilities of an abnormal level.”

-Ah, no matter how… It’s a story that doesn’t make sense. How can you survive on a planet that has cleared [Trial of the Gods] and even started the extinction process and come here!-

“Now is not the time to answer your questions, it is the time to answer them. Let me ask you one more time. What the hell is [Trial of the Gods]?”

Liddell bit his lip and glared at Leia.

Jeongmin, Leah, and Yamazaki, who was sitting next to Liddell, were also looking at Liddell with surprised eyes.

Liddell, who had been silently receiving everyone’s attention for a long time, lowered his head and said.

-Would you give me some time to think about it?-

At Liddell’s words, Yamazaki shouted with a surprised face.

“Riddel? Are Leah’s words true? Didn’t you just come here from a world where [Trial of the Gods] was first?”

-I’m sorry, Lingling. However, this is a story of despair for the humans in [Trial of the Gods]… In fact, if it wasn’t for this time, I thought I’d hide it until I die. I’m really sorry for not telling you. –

Watching Liddell speak pitifully, Yamazaki hugged him tightly.

“it’s okay. Liddell. It was because of me. I understand. But from now on, I want you to tell me everything. It doesn’t matter if it’s a story full of despair. Because I have hope for you.”

Liddell and Yamazaki stood still for a while, hugging each other.

Jung-min and Leah looked at him silently and waited patiently.

After some time passed, Liddell looked at Jeongmin and Leah and said.

-All right. Let me tell you about [Trial of the Gods]. However, there are conditions.-

“Conditions?”

Liddell nodded at Jeongmin’s question.

-Yes, if you listen to me, I will tell you everything I know. Can you hear me?-

“Let’s listen first. What is it?”

-… Please protect me and Lingling. Although they managed to escape from ‘Kurai Tsubasa’, the whole of Japan is already under the shadow of ‘Kurai Tsubasa’. You will continue to be pursued in the future. With a figure this striking, it would be hard to hide properly. So… please protect me and Lingling. I believe that with your strength, it is possible.

“…”

After thinking for a moment, Jeongmin whispered into Leah’s ear.

“It is impossible for us to remain here to protect them… As long as they remain here, they will continue to be pursued by ‘Kurai Tsubasa’. Then there is only one way. I need to take them to Korea.”

Leah nodded at Jeongmin’s words.

“I am of the same opinion. The only problem is how to take it. Well, let’s think about that later.”

After the conversation, Leah looked at Liddell and Yamazaki and said.

“Since we are not the people who live here, we cannot remain here to protect you. So I’m thinking of taking you and Mr. Yamazaki to where we live. are you okay?”

Liddell looked at Yamazaki, who nodded.

“You mean you’re taking me to Korea, right? I’m OK. There’s nothing left here anyway. I’m fed up with the guys who are targeting our Liddell. Is Liddell okay?”

Liddell looked into Yamazaki’s eyes and nodded.

– I’m fine anywhere. If only I could be with you-

Liddell looked at Leah again and said.

-Thank you for listening to my request. Then we’ll clear up your doubts. You said you want to know what [Trial of the Gods] is, right?-

Liddell paused for a moment before continuing.

– This story is really a story without any dreams or hopes. Still want to hear it?-

Leah nodded and said.

“does not matter. Already everything to me..”

Leah glanced at Jung-min and continued.

“..because almost all hope is gone.”

-.. All right. Then I will tell you about the trials of the gods. For a detailed explanation, I have to go back quite a while. Are you all right?-

Leah and Jungmin nodded.

Liddell closed his eyes for a moment and seemed to organize his thoughts.

Soon I opened my eyes again and started a long story.

-About a thousand years ago, two huge and highly developed planets sat side by side in a different dimension than this one. The planets are named Kirsian and Magna, respectively. Could it be because two planets of similar development and size were too close together? Kirsian and Magna have had a very bad relationship since the distant past. Conflicts often broke out and wars broke out. The war between these two highly developed powers was terrifying. Every time a war broke out, the damage was enormous. The war, where each of them cut their own flesh, continued for a long time. In the end, the rulers who control the two planets decided to meet and negotiate. ‘Continuing the war any longer is a shortcut to self-destruction for both planets. We must stop the war.’

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

By the two rulers who negotiated so dramatically, the two planets were able to stop the war-

“It sounds like something quite remote. Is the story about [Trial of the Gods] correct?”

When Jung-min questioned, Liddell nodded.

-Yes, this is the story about [Trial of the Gods]. Listen a little more.

Anyway, so the two planets stopped the war, but the ongoing conflict was unavoidable. The two planets were so close together. Amid growing emotions, the rulers met and discussed once again as signs of another large-scale war began to appear. And they found a way and proclaimed it to their respective planets. It said: ‘If we go to war directly like this, both planets will be destroyed. However, there is no way to avoid conflict because the gap between the two closely spaced planets has historically been deep. So let’s wage war in such a way that we won’t perish.’ The way he declared and said that…

Liddell stared at the bonfire in silence.

He sighed lightly and continued talking.

-.. It was a proxy war.-

“Wait, proxy war?”

When Leah, who had an absurd expression, asked back, Liddell lowered her head.

-Yes, it is a proxy war. Fighting among ourselves would cause too much damage, so it’s an ugly idea to have someone else go to war instead. Thus began a large-scale project where the two planets joined forces for the first time. In Magna, where genetic engineering has advanced extremely, a huge number of life forms have been created based on various genes and records collected from all dimensions. A ‘system’ handed down from ancient times has been provided in the Kirsi. The result of a large-scale project that has been promoted for so long is… [Trial of the Gods].-

Jeongmin, who had been listening to Liddell’s story, turned his head to look at Leah.

Leah was looking at Liddell, who was talking with an expressionless face.

However, Jung-min did not miss the fact that his clenched fists were shaking slightly.

Liddell kept his head down and continued.

-If there is a conflict between the two planets, they choose the battlefield with their own requirements. When a battlefield is selected, the Kirsian side provides a ‘system’ to the intelligent lifeforms on the battlefield, and Magna puts the created creatures into the battlefield through the gate. In this way, the war between Magna’s creatures and intelligent lifeforms grown in the Kirsian system determines victory or defeat… The true identity of [Trial of the Gods] is a ‘proxy war’ that carries out the war between the two planets instead of Kirsian and Magna. .-

When Liddell finished speaking, silence fell among the group.

It was Leah’s voice that trembled badly that broke the silence.

“What is it..”

“Miss Leah..”

Jung-min called Leah in a sad voice.

“It was just… it was just like that? The [Trial of the Gods], which killed colleagues and teachers and destroyed Elan mercilessly… was just an ugly act of passing it on to others because they didn’t want to shed their own blood? Just… just…”

Leah sheds tears and fires a tremendous killing blow at Liddell.

When Liddell received Leia’s murderous blow, his face turned blue and he grabbed his neck and began to choke.

Yamazaki freaked out and hugged Liddell, and Jung-min hurriedly spoke while holding Leah’s hand.

“Leah, calm down! Calm down for a moment…”

– Sin, sorry. Heck.. After I found out about this, I tried my best to stop this ugly act somehow. But keuheugh… all his powers were taken away and he was banished to the battlefield…

Seeing Liddell talking to the end while suffering, Leah took her life.

Yamazaki and Liddell let out a sigh of relief with pale faces, while Leia stood still and wept endlessly.

When Jung-min hugged her, Leah started to cry in earnest as she was embraced by Jeong-min.

Jung-min sighed as he rubbed the back of Leah, who was still crying.

Leah, who had been crying for a long time, stopped crying, and the four of them sat face to face at the bonfire that was organized again.

The story of Liddell, who calmed his surprised mind, continued.

-I was a citizen of the class corresponding to the ‘bar’ of a country called Indra, a Kirsian planet. My name at that time was ‘Bar-Liderian’. I grew up hearing that I was quite smart since I was young, and after I became an adult, I passed the difficult qualification test and became the rank of ‘K’. ‘K-Liderian’. I was really happy because it was the highest rank that ordinary people could climb, except for the rank of ‘B’, the royal family. When you reach the ‘K’ class, you become a member of the Kirsian planetary integration government and work for the Kirsians. I also got to work in the unified government… That’s when I first learned about [God’s Trial]-

Jung-min looked at Leah, who was leaning weakly on his shoulder, then asked Liddell.

“Are you saying you didn’t know about [Trial of the Gods] until then? It was definitely a project that most people agreed on and worked together.”

-It was about a thousand years ago that [Trial of the Gods] was created like that. According to the records, in the beginning [Trial of the Gods] was carried out with the interest of many people. It is said that there was even a gambling hall that monitors the dimension where [Trial of the Gods] takes place and determines the winner and the loser. In the meantime, [Trial of the Gods] was met with opposition by some people who felt remorse. As a result, various social problems occurred, and the ruling class declared that [Trial of the Gods] would be abolished. But really [Trial of the Gods] hasn’t gone away. It was because [Trial of the Gods] was absolutely necessary to resolve the dispute between Kirsian and Magna. After that, it is said that only the ruling class knew about and managed [God’s trials]. Now, a thousand years have passed. Countless people in the ranks of ‘Ba’ and ‘Su’ and ‘Chan’ below it hardly even know the word [Trial of the Gods]. Even if you know it, all you know is a means of war that disappeared a long time ago. Only the ‘K’ and ‘B’ ruling classes know what [Trial of the Gods] is.-

After hearing Liddell’s story, Jung-min asked.

“You talked about it earlier. You were exiled for trying to stop that ugly act. Can you hear the details?”

Liddell’s face suddenly became depressed.

Yamazaki took Liddell’s hand, and he took one look at Yamazaki before continuing.

-After becoming the rank of ‘K’ and entering the integrated government… I first learned about [God’s Trial]. And I was very shocked. The peace we enjoy was obtained at the cost of blood shed in the world of countless dimensions! Even more shocking was that no one was taking this seriously. The ruling class chooses a battlefield in another dimension and causes a [Trial of the Gods] in case of even the slightest dispute. Even that was annoying, and hundreds of years ago, AI was entrusted with system management. Currently, artificial intelligence selects the battlefield for [Trial of the Gods], uploads and manages the ‘system’. Then, when the end of [Trial of the Gods] is announced, a manager with the rank of ‘K’ is put in and all that is left is to check the victory or defeat. No one feels sorry for the dimension in which [Trial of the Gods] took place or feels remorse. I… I couldn’t stand it. –

“So… did you rebel against them?”

Liddell nodded at Jeongmin’s question.

-The planet Earth was chosen as the battlefield for [Trial of the Gods]. Do you know what could be the reason? Exactly.. Kirsian and Magna. It was because of a dispute over trade routes between the two planets. It was a very minor dispute. A really trivial dispute about which trade ship used the trade route first… But [Trial of the Gods] was opened to resolve that trivial dispute.-

“No, just resolving that level of conflict causes [trial of the gods]? does that make sense? [Trial of the Gods] will have to wait for several years.”

Liddell shook his head.

– Time is not important to them. It is important to show a willingness to resolve the dispute. Once [Trial of the Gods] has begun, you will no longer be able to dispute that dispute until it is over. I’m looking at a solution through [Trial of the Gods], but I think it’s disrespectful to talk about the dispute any more. Since [Trials of God] have been opened for each and every trivial dispute, the number of [Trials of Gods] that are currently going on in all dimensions must be enormous.

Anyway, I couldn’t stand it any longer. So I thought I should stop it. First of all, the first goal was to publicize [Trial of the Gods], which everyone has forgotten. I thought that if I did that, I would be able to gather like-minded colleagues. But…well, as you can see. Without even trying, he was discovered, stripped of all his powers, and banished to this place. –

After Liddell’s long story was over, silence came again to the campfire party.

Leah, who was leaning weakly on Jung-min’s shoulder, spoke after a long time.

Leah stared at the campfire and asked Liddell.

“There… is there a way to get there, Kirsian, your hometown?”

Liddell looked at Leia blankly and shook his head.

-If I had known that way, I would have gone back already. But why in Kirsian…

Leah said, staring at the campfire.

“I will remove it. [Trial of the Gods] will… be eliminated.”
