I Live Alone in the Inventory

Episode 54

“23rd north, and 11th east from there..”

Jung-min muttered and wrote in his notebook, ‘North 23-East 11 (unconfirmed) dead’.

Jung-min closed the notebook and spoke to Leah in a tired voice.

“Phew, it’s really not easy to find survivor inventory. I don’t know if I’m out of luck or why everything I pass is the inventory of the deceased. Even if you find survivors, most of them are Earthlings…”

“it’s okay? Is it very difficult?”

“Rather than being hard.. I should say I was a little tired. I’ll have to find a suitable place soon…”

“Don’t be in too much of a hurry. The more you hurry, the more they tell you to go back.”

“what? Do you know that expression too? It’s an expression only used in Korea.”

Leah smiled slightly at Jung-min’s question.

“Because I often talk with Junhee, I learn a lot of expressions.”

“You have to learn only good things. He said a lot of stern words…”

At Jung-min’s serious concern, Leah smiled again.

“Anyway, don’t be impatient and try to find it calmly. Then we will be able to find the dimension we want.”

Jungmin nodded at Leah’s words.

The two started exploring the inventory again.

As I proceeded to check the inventories of the dead and, if the inventories of the survivors, which dimension they were, the time flew by.

When Jung-min was weary and thought it would be better to call it quits today,

“Ah, it’s a survivor’s inventory.”

The 23rd north and 22nd east inventory walls were a softly glowing black.

Leah said while gently stroking the wall.

“Yes, I see. Let’s do some research.”

Jungmin nodded and began to examine the objects around him.

Leah picked up the bottle that was lying on the side and said to Jung-min.

“It looks similar to the bottle Jung-min brought before?.. Ah! This is an item! Sake with a buff effect!”

Jung-min ran over and looked at the drink.

When I used ’emotional eyes’, I could see that it was a drink that gave buffs, just as Leah said.

Jeongmin said with a recalled expression.

“It is an item made similar to the alcohol we drank together. Do you remember that time? The day I took things from the deceased’s inventory and was a little depressed.”

“Of course I remember.”

“I think this is the inventory of an Awoken belonging to the same dimension as back then. Even if I look at the other objects… they are all similar to the ones I saw then.”

“At that time, the gate that Jung-Min saw over the inventory gate was probably a yellow.. B-level gate, right?”

Jeongmin nodded at Leah’s question.

“Yes, it was. That means that the progression of [Trial of the Gods] here started at least after the appearance of the B-level gate… much earlier than on Earth. You’ll have to see the details for yourself, but…”

“I wish I could go out soon! I’m glad, Mr. What a great achievement!”

Looking at Leah who said she liked it, Jung-min also said with an excited face.

“Now the key is when the owner of this inventory will open the gate. You’ll have no choice but to wait. I hope you open it quickly.”

“Today, just write down the coordinates and go back. There’s no word on when the gate will open… Jung-min is so tired right now. We spent too long wandering around in the inventory.”

Jung-min said worriedly at Leah’s words.

“Would it be okay? If the owner of this inventory dies while we’re away…”

“This is the inventory of someone who has survived a long time. It won’t die so suddenly and easily. For now, let’s go back and rest, and come back tomorrow and wait properly.”

Jeongmin also nodded at Leah’s words.

In fact, since he was mentally exhausted, Jung-min also wanted to take a break.

After Jung-min opened and closed his inventory to designate a location, he opened the base gate.

“Since I opened my inventory, the gate is fixed here. You’ll be able to head into your inventory tomorrow and head right over here. Let’s come back properly prepared. Today… take a break”

Jung-min and Leah returned to the studio and took a break.

And, the next day.

After waking up in the morning, the two got ready and immediately entered Jung-min’s inventory through the base gate.

The two of them opened their inventory gates and moved in space, and were able to reach the inventory they had last stayed in yesterday.

Fortunately, the walls of the inventory were luminous black.

Jimin looked around and said.

“That’s fortunate. I was worried about what would happen if it became an inventory of the dead overnight.”

“Looks like you’re doing well. Now… should I wait?”

Jungmin nodded and took out two camping chairs from his inventory.

Leah saw it and said.

“You brought a chair.”

“Yes, last time I had a hard time sitting on the floor and waiting. This time too, I don’t know how long I’ll have to wait… I’ve prepared this and that.”

Jung-min took out snacks and drinks from his inventory and spread them out before talking to Leah.

“Shall we go out and talk about what happened? Once we’re out, we need to find out exactly what the [Trial of the Gods] progress is, and if it’s a dimension that has the progression we want, we’ll have to work here from now on, but the problem is going back and forth. If I designate my inventory gate, I will be able to come and go freely, but if that happens, I will not be able to use my inventory at all on Earth.”

Leah nodded while eating a snack.

“It certainly is. I don’t know if I can designate a base… What is your current base designation skill level, Jeong-min?”

“Ah… wait a minute.”

Jeongmin opened the status window.

[Jungmin Choi

Strength: 422 (+50)

Stamina: 416 (+30)

Agility: 402 (+60)

Intelligence:244 [mp:416/424]

Holding Gold: 222730 Gold

In the meantime, I found a C-class gate and subjugated it, and the stats and skill levels had gone up quite a bit.

Jung-min closed the status window and spoke to Leah.

“I’m level 8 now.”

“Then I have no choice but to raise it to level 10. At level 10, there will be additional effects, so maybe it will be possible to designate additional bases.”

“Um… Then I guess I’ll have to practice again. Shall we continue using the base gate while we wait?”

“That wouldn’t be too bad, but it’s a high level now, so it won’t be easy. Rather than that, how about using an item?”

“Is it an item?”

When Jeongmin asked, Leah nodded and said.

“Yes, it is an item. Among the items, there will be an item called ‘Skill Enhancement Orb’. Would you like to try a search? If you have enough gold, you will see it.”

“Ah yes. Please wait”

Jung-min opened the store window and tried the search function.

Fortunately, the desired product was found.

“Oh, I’m here. So I can buy it.. 200,000 gold??”

Looking at Jung-min, who was surprised, Leah smiled and said.

“Anyway, skill-related marbles are bound to be expensive. Still, I’m glad that Jung-min has collected the gold that can be purchased. Please buy it.”

“200,000 gold… All I’ve collected so far is 220,000, but it’s gone all at once, huh”

Jung-min shook his head with a dejected expression and purchased the ‘Skill Enhancement Orb’.

The gold he had collected disappeared in an instant, and Jung-min, who looked at the remaining 20,000 gold with bitterness, closed the shop window.

Jung-min opened his inventory and took out the ‘Skill Enhancement Bead’.

Looking at Leah with a marble in her hand, Leah nodded and said,

“Break it”

Jung-min broke the marble with force in his hand.

Just like when acquiring the skill, the beads shattered and then disappeared as if the fragments were absorbed by the hand.

And a message appeared in front of Jung-min’s eyes.

[You have used a skill enhancement orb. Please select the skill you want to enhance]

Jung-min’s skills were listed in front of him, and when he selected the ‘Gate’ skill, another message popped up in front of his eyes.

[There are a total of 3 skill enhancement options. Please select one]

Jung-min said to Leah in a confused voice.

“Uh… there are three enhancement options?”

“Yes, there will be some. You can choose one of them.”

Jung-min was lost in thought as he looked at the reinforcement options that popped up in front of him.

‘No. 1 allows you to designate 2 additional bases, and No. 2 allows you to add 2 additional bases. And number 3 is one additional base and one additional registration… Isn’t the function of reinforcement more powerful than I thought? 200,000 gold wasn’t a waste.’

Jung-min pondered and chose option 3.

‘No. 1 attracts, but you have to think about the number of additional registrations. There may be times when you need to bring Liddell…’

When Jung-min selected number 3, the message in front of him disappeared.

“One more place can be designated as a base, and one more person can be registered at the base gate. I thought 200,000 gold was too expensive, but it’s not necessarily the case. If this effect…”

“Yes? It’s gold, you just have to collect it again. Now the problem is solved. Cross the gate and into the dimension of the owner of this inventory and designate it as a base wherever we want. ”

“Yes, I wish I could go out soon.”

The two of them sat in a chair and talked about this and that while waiting for the gate to open.

However, the gate did not open for a long time.

After waiting until late, the two eventually went back to the studio, promising the next day.

And the next day and the day after that.

I waited endlessly, but the gate did not open.

Around the time when the two of them are getting tired of waiting without a promise.

The inventory gate finally opened.

Jeongmin stared blankly at the gate that opened in front of him.

Then, suddenly, he came to his senses and shouted at Leah.

“Leah! It’s open!”

Leah also looked at the open gate and made a very flushed expression.

A man with a grim face could be seen through the gate.

Arbitrarily indented beard and small scars large and small.

Long, black hair that was roughly twisted into a ponytail.

The man with an urgent look was looking at the inventory with anxious eyes, and soon a bottle of alcohol next to Leah rose into the air and quickly went out through the gate.

The bearded man seen across the gate picked up a bottle and immediately started drinking.

Leah, who was looking at that figure, urgently spoke to Jung-min.

“Jungmin-ssi, we have to leave. You never know when it will open again!”

Jung-min grabbed Leah’s hand and immediately started moving.

Leah and Jung-min appear next to the bearded man who was drinking.

Leah stumbled, putting her hand on her head.

Seeing that she didn’t sit down, it was clear that Leia had become quite used to the aftereffects of the dimension shift.

Jung-min grabbed Leah and tried to support her, but hurriedly hugged Leah and rolled on the floor.

With a goosebumps sound, the man’s sword was swung into the spot where Jeong-Min and Leah had just stood.

Jung-min, who barely avoided the sword while hugging Leah, summoned Stormbringer and held it in his hand to block the man’s sword from attacking again.

caang

Jung-min’s eyes widened as he caught a glimpse of the man’s strength felt in his hand.

‘Be strong. And… it’s fast!’

A man’s sword that attacks again.

Jeongmin frantically blocked the sword.

Caang! Caang!

The man’s sword flew towards Jung-min’s heart with a strange movement.

Jung-min cut the sword that approached his heart with a simple movement.

As the workshop went on, Jung-min became more relaxed, and on the contrary, the urgency on the man’s face grew younger.

caang

The man’s sword was again blocked by Jung-min’s, and Jung-min lifted his leg and kicked the empty man in the stomach with all his might.

“Cuck!”

Jung-min swung his sword at the bearded man flying behind him and fired his sword skill.

A sword skill that allows you to shoot two sword swords at once as an additional effect obtained by raising it to level 5.

Two sword blades were quickly fired at the man.

The bearded man gritted his teeth and raised his sword, and a white light began to appear on the sword he was holding.

A man who swung a sword with a white light and managed to knock out two sword blades.

However, the man knelt down and touched the ground with his sword as if he had lost his strength, and the white aura of the sword slowly disappeared.

“Whew”

Jungmin took a deep breath.

‘It’s definitely a world where a lot of [Trials of the Gods] have progressed. To be so strong…’

Jung-min walked slowly towards the kneeling man.

“I… are you okay? I had no choice but to defend it because it suddenly attacked. We have no intention of harming you-”

Jeong-min’s words were stopped by a bearded man who suddenly rushed after scattering dirt on the ground.

A rather bewildered sound came out of Jung-min’s mouth as he opened his eyes small in the dust and tried to stop the bearded man.

“Eh?”

The man with the beard, who thought he was going to run at Jung-min, turned and ran towards Leah.

Of course, Jung-min didn’t understand, and the bearded man continued to shout something.

Leah, who had barely escaped the aftereffects of the dimension shift, stared blankly at the sword pointed at her throat, then pushed her neck further towards the tip of the sword herself.

The bearded man, who was aiming a sword at Leah’s neck, was startled and put the sword back, and Leah, who saw that, said with a grin.

“I don’t think you’re such a bad person, Mr. Jeongmin.”

The bearded man, who had put the sword back, put the sword back to Leah’s throat in embarrassment.

And just as I was about to shout something again,

Ppogak

Looking at the neatly broken blade in Leah’s hand, the bearded man put on a bewildered expression.
