I Live Alone in the Inventory

Episode 50

doo doo doo doo

The loud sound of helicopter propellers echoed everywhere.

Soon after, Jung-min walked down from the helicopter that had landed on the roof of the building.

Jung-min made a happy face as he saw Leah, Liddell, and Yamazaki greeting him.

“I waited so long! Come on, get on!”

Due to the loud sound of the helicopter, Jung-min, who decided to postpone the greeting until later, gestured to the party to approach the helicopter.

Leah, Liddell, and Yamazaki were guided by Jung-min and boarded the helicopter.

The helicopter started flying toward the shelter [Daesung] again.

From Kyushu to Iki Island, from Iki Island to Tsushima Road. And finally, after completing the long journey from Tsushima to Busan, the four people quickly moved toward the metropolitan area.

In the meantime, Jung-min went over to [Daesung’s] shelter through the base gate, prepared the helicopter, and picked up the other three people who were waiting at the promised place and returned to [Daesung].

[Daesung] The four people who arrived at the shelter were sitting side by side on the sofa in the shelter manager’s room.

Jo Won looked at the three people except for Jung-min with the same sad eyes as usual.

“You worked hard to come. Nice to meet you two. My name is Kwak Jo-won, the shelter leader of [Daesung]. i look forward to.”

-Nice to meet you. It’s called a K-Liderian. Just call me Rederian.-

“Oh, hello. Says Yamazaki.. Please take good care of me.”

When Yamazaki greeted in clumsy Korean, Jo Won replied in fluent Japanese.

“It’s okay to just use Japanese comfortably. I know how to speak Japanese. I wish you well too.”

Hearing Jo Won’s fluent Japanese, Yamazaki’s face brightened.

Jo Won looked at Liddell and said.

“You are the one who is famous in Japan. I’ve heard a lot of stories. It’s amazing that the words ring directly in my head. I would appreciate it if you could explain the black wings and white eyes to the level of unusual skills. I will be staying with [Daesung] from now on, so please take care of me.”

After Jo Won said goodbye, he looked at Jeong-min, who was staring at him.

“… What is it?”

“No, it’s a bit strange.”

“Are you curious?”

“Yes, I would say that people have become a bit harmful. It’s a little hard to say this, but Mr. Shelter didn’t have such a friendly personality, right? It seems that seats make people.”

After hearing Jung-min’s words, Jo Won said with an expressionless expression.

“A seat makes a person. Anyway, what I do when the shelter chief is alive is not much different.

Anyway, you’ve worked hard to come this far. Is it okay for you two to live together? The living space is not that generous, so if you are a couple, I recommend that you live together as much as possible.”

At Jo Won’s words, Yamazaki and Liddell nodded.

“great. You can take this key. The East and Lake of the residential area are written on the key, so you can find it. Let’s get this far for now, and then think about what kind of work we’re going to do here- Huh?”

Jo Won, who was talking, stared into the air as if surprised.

Not only Jo Won, but also Jung Min and Yamazaki stared into the air in amazement.

Leah and Liddell looked at them, puzzled by the sudden action of the three.

“Jungmin? What’s going on?”

“Oh, wait a minute. A message suddenly appeared in front of my eyes”

“A message?”

Jimin nodded and said.

“Yes. The shop is finally open. In addition.. 3 days later, a notice that a high-grade gate will appear has been posted. And… heo-eok?”

When Jung-min looked at the sky in amazement, Leah asked curiously.

“What’s going on, Mr. Jeongmin?”

Jeongmin whispered in response to Leah’s question.

“Everyone, they say you can bring some of the gold and experience by killing other Awoken. Is this the original way?”

“Oh, didn’t I tell you?”

“Yes. Is this the first time you’ve heard of it?”

“Hmm, I forgot about it since I lived as a survivor alone for over 3 years. Since the shop opened, gold can be transferred. It’s a system that allows you to take . Because of that, many people died in the early days when the store opened. It’s a system I really don’t like.”

“Ha, that’s right. Inducing PK like this…”

“A PK?”

“Oh, no. Anyway, the earth is the true beginning from now on. Shelter Chief? A high-level gate will be available in three days. Are you ready?”

Jo Won looked at Jung Min and said.

“Well, I prepared hard. Now that the store is open, we should be more prepared.”

“Yes, please prepare for the upcoming danger by collaborating with the nearby shelters and guilds, including [Park River]. And there could be a dispute over the store. There will definitely be guys who will take advantage of the fact that you can take the gold and experience points of the opponent you killed. Please prepare thoroughly for that.”

Jo Won nodded, and Jung Min looked at him and said.

“We’ll just go. Have a hard time, Mr. Shelter”

Joey stood up and bowed his head.

Jung-min and his party came out and walked to Jung-min’s studio.

Perhaps because of the opening of the shop, I felt a sense of bustle from the Awakened people around me.

There were also quite a few Awoken who were staring blankly at the empty space as if they were looking at the shop window.

Arriving at the studio, Jung-min and his party each sat on the bed and on the floor.

said Liddell, who was sitting on the floor.

– A high-grade gate will appear in 3 days. Shelter will be very busy in the future.-

“Well, I can’t help it. Anyway, thank you for all your hard work to get here from Japan. Let’s get some rest today.”

Destroying all the D-class gates in sight while moving all the way to Kyushu, it took a lot of time. Thanks to this, Jung-min’s stats went up tremendously, but everyone was tired from the long journey.

-I’m tired, but I want you to properly talk about your future plans. That way, I think I can rest comfortably.-

Everyone nodded at Liddell’s words.

Although the goal of eliminating the [Trial of the Gods] had been decided, they hadn’t talked about the means at all.

– I’ve been thinking about the means. It is to use Jung-min’s space movement skill. Being able to move in space to a place that comes into view… It’s a really uncomfortable skill, but it’s also a fraudulent skill to the extent that he moved to Leah’s dimension using it. If you use it, you can go to Kircian.-

“How can I get there?”

Liddell answered Leah’s question.

-You said your planet before.. Elan, right? After clearing [Trial of the Gods] there, the manager said that he had come. You’ve probably seen the dimensional gates he used. Yes?-

“ah..!”

Leah exclaimed.

“No, that’s right. The dimensional gate could see the sights beyond the gate. It’s like a laboratory full of weird mechanical devices. Did you see Jung-min?”

Jeongmin shook his head at Leah’s question.

“At that time, all I was looking at was through Leah-san’s inventory gate far away, so I didn’t see that it was a dimensional gate. Anyway, seeing the other side of it must mean that I can move through my space.”

“That’s right, Mr. Jeongmin. There was such an easy way!”

-That’s… it’s not that easy.-

Everyone looked at Liddell.

-Well, once you see the gate to that dimension, you should be able to pass through Jung-min’s skill. However, that is only possible when the manager comes after [Trial of the Gods] is over. Didn’t I already tell you that the manager only visits you once when the [Trial of the Gods] is over? Here on Earth, the [Trial of the Gods] is about to begin in earnest. Even if you can’t clear all the gates by destroying them, it will take many years.-

“Can’t I just go ahead and destroy all the gates? It will drastically shorten the clearing time.”

Leah’s words made sense, but Liddell shook his head.

– It’s a dangerous thing. If the gate disappears at a speed beyond common sense, the system itself determines that a singularity has occurred and reports it to the manager. Of course, it would be nice if the manager who heard the report opened the gate to the earth and visited it to figure out the anomaly. You just have to cross through the gate he used. However, we cannot pinpoint the location of the gate that opens then.

You can use Jung-min’s space movement skill only when it opens near us, but what’s the use if it opens and closes on the other side of the globe? This is the reason why [Trial of the Gods] should be ended canonically. Classically, if you destroy the S-class gate, the manager’s gate will appear at that location.-

“Well..”

Leia bit her lip and bowed her head.

-And..-

Liddell continued.

-In the first place, there is no guarantee that the administrator will come to Earth when it is reported that there is something wrong with Earth’s [Trial of the Gods]. Lazy admins are more likely to simply kick off the extinction process rather than come and investigate the anomaly. Later, all you have to do is submit a report that says, “Irregular occurred and disappeared.” To that extent, they think less of us than we think. So, you should refrain from trying to shorten the clearing time of [Trial of the Gods] by Leah. It’s too risky.-

“…”

Jung-min, who lightly patted Leah’s back, said to Liddell.

“Well, then… there is no way to move on to Kirsian other than the standard way to clear [Trial of the Gods].”

– Probably so. I still feel very hopeful. If it’s the way it was originally, there’s no way to get over it. I am very satisfied that I found out at least a way to get over it by using Jung-min’s skills. Time is what you just have to wait.

“That’s true, but… it’s frustrating. I want to go to Kirsian right away and get rid of the [Trial of God], but to think I have to wait until I clear the [Trial of God] on Earth…”

Liddell laughed lightly at Jungmin’s words.

– Rather consider it a good opportunity. Even if we could go over to the Kyrsians right now, what would we be able to do there? I know that Mr. Jung-min is very strong, but that means that he is very strong by the standards of the earth at this time, but he is still very weak in terms of all dimensions. We need to grow more. Same goes for Leah. I know that he is strong enough to clear [Trial of the Gods], but aren’t there any Kirsians who are that strong? It’s great to have the manager run away, but there’s something on top. We don’t need to worry about the transcendence weapons that confront Magna because they can’t be used in the main base, but there are countless Kirsian combat units. And among them, the 8 combat unit commanders with the armed forces at the top and the commander-in-chief who puts even them below. You should at least have enough strength to deal with them. If it’s not that much, even if you fall for the Kirsians, you’ll just be caught without doing anything.-

Jeongmin was surprised and said.

“Nine people at the pinnacle of power. Something looks great. How strong is it?”

– It is said that since [Trial of the Gods] began and the era of peace came, the number of people practicing using the ‘system’ has gradually decreased. Even in the midst of such an era of peace, there were people who did not neglect their own training. These are the 9 people who committed themselves to what they talked about earlier. Their strength is really… incredible. Don’t be surprised. There is a story that only 9 of them can destroy the S-class gate, the final gate of [Trial of the Gods]. Isn’t that great?-

Jimin narrowed his eyes.

Liddell smiled, satisfied with Jungmin’s reaction.

-So, you’d better not think about going to the Kyrsians, at least until you build a force capable of dealing with them. After using Earth’s [Trial of God] to become stronger enough…-

“Did Leah destroy the S-class gate by herself?”

At Jung-min’s words, Liddell tilted his head and said.

-.. Yes? what..-

“No, I heard that the S-class gate could be destroyed only with the 9 members of that Kirsian.

I think it’s not that strong enough. Leah destroyed the S-class gate by herself.”

-You destroyed the S-class gate by yourself? Aye please –

“no. You said you dealt with all the monsters alone and finished the destruction alone?”

Liddell stared blankly at Leia.

Leah looked at Liddell and nodded.

“It’s true. In the first place, I was the only survivor of Elan from about 3 years ago. I didn’t have any comrades who could fight the S-class gate together.”

Liddell’s mouth fell wide.

-No, that, that’s really sa, true? alone? S-class gate? Didn’t you just misunderstand the A-level gate? Really an S-class gate??-

“It must be an illusion. It’s a gate that has been hidden for a long time, so I’ve been looking for it for a long time. Seeing that the manager appeared right after destroying it, well, it must be an S-class gate.”

Liddell looked at Leah with his eyes and mouth wide open.

He frowned and asked Leah with a serious expression.

– No, that’s ridiculous… There can’t be such a strong level. I’ve seen a few reports in the past that there were irregulars, but nothing like this. Destroying the final gate alone… No, how can you be so strong? –

“Hmm.. Jung-min used the word “bug play?” I practiced exploiting loopholes in the system.”

– Poetry, a loophole in the system! There’s no such thing… No, even if there is a loophole, it wouldn’t be acceptable to use that loophole! Were there no sanctions?

“Because it was tolerated, I couldn’t have become this strong, right?”

Liddell looked at Leia with a frown.

Liddell, who was about to say something with confused eyes, shook his head.

– These days, there are only things that keep surprising me. In the dimension shift, the ridiculously strong man who destroys the S-class gate alone… I can’t keep up with my head at all. I want you to be like this today. I need to organize my thoughts. Are you okay?-

Looking at Liddell’s face, which felt rapidly emaciated, Jung-min and Leah nodded.

After greeting Jeongmin and Leah, Liddell left the room with staggering steps, supported by Yamazaki.

Jeongmin and Leah looked at his back sadly.
