I Live Alone in the Inventory

Episode 22

Jung-min lay on his lap and looked at Leah’s sleeping face.

Tears remained in Leah’s eyes as she slept soundly.

‘Lea had an injection…’

It was Leah who looked like she was suddenly getting drunk after more than three exchanges of drinks.

After a few more drinks, Leah suddenly clung to Jung-min and started to cry.

Leah cried like a child and repeatedly called the names of her teachers and colleagues.

Then, with tears streaming down his face, he endlessly stroked Jung-min’s face and repeated the same words.

-Jung-Min! Can’t you just die? Got it? You can’t ever die?!

-No, I won’t die Mr. Leah, wait a minute, my clothes are torn…-

-Ahhh!-

Leah, who had been crying and repeating the same words for a long time, eventually fell asleep from exhaustion, and Jung-min sat blankly in front of the campfire, giving Leah her knee.

“That..truly..”

Jung-min took a look at his ripped and tattered jacket, poured another glass of alcohol, and drank it down.

“Big…”

It was a good drink with a fragrant smell and a thrill that went down the neck dizzyingly.

Looking up at the sky, the night sky was full of stars.

“I can see a lot of stars.. Unlike Earth..”

Jeongmin slowly stroked Leah’s hair and stared at the sky.

*******

“….yes?”

It was dawn when Leah opened her eyes.

Looking at Jung-min, who was dozing on her knees, Leah stood up.

Jung-min, who was awakened by the presence of people, looked at Leah and said.

“Ah…Lea, are you awake?”

“Ah..Mr..Jung-Min..I must have fallen asleep here. It must have been very difficult.”

“No. I’m fine. Leah, how are you feeling?”

“There’s no problem with me. I must have been very tired yesterday. I fell asleep right away after drinking a few drinks…”

“…..”

“….why?”

Jeongmin looked at Leah blankly and said.

“That…you just fell asleep after drinking..?”

Leah nodded at Jeongmin’s question.

“Yeah, it’s not usually that much… but yesterday’s battle was a bit intense, so he must have been tired. I’m sorry. I fell asleep first.

“Ah..that..no. Hey, well..I have to go back now. I plan to go to the gate after resting for a while. I’ll also look at Daesung’s battle and attack the gate myself if I have time.”

“Yes, in order to do that, you have to go and have a good rest. Go home quickly. But… why are your clothes so torn? I didn’t practice today… I need to change quickly, Mr. Jeong-min”

“Ah, yes… I will, I need to change.”

“…?”

“…”

Jeong-Min summoned the base gate.

“Then I’ll go now. Have a good rest, Ms. Leah.”

Leah said as she looked at Jung-min who was about to greet and enter the gate.

“It’s a shame we couldn’t drink together, right? Let’s drink really well next time, okay?”

Jeongmin smiled at Leah and said.

“Yes, drink properly next time. Ha..ha”

Jung-min went into the inventory, took off his torn clothes, and lay down on the mattress.

“You can’t remember your injections.. You cried so much.. That’s the reason Leah’s teachers and colleagues didn’t let you drink too much..”

As I lay down on the mattress, I fell asleep.

Jung-min fell asleep with a smile on his lips as he remembered Leah, who was clinging to him and crying.

*******

“Sort!”

Numerous combat unit members gathered in the large parade ground of the shelter [Daesung] moved in perfect order.

A middle-aged man with wide eyes was standing on the four columns in front of the parade ground.

Kang Ho-young, the commander of Daesung’s Awakened combat unit.

Standing on the four-row rank, he glanced over at the troops standing in five rows.

“Today, we are going to attack the gate for the first time. As we have been training every single day, it is expected that the monsters in the gate will never be our opponents. Keep in mind that it is the shield that protects the family, and always be careful with the thought that the shield will crack when we get hurt or die…”

“Captain, Captain”

Yoo Jeong-hyeon, the deputy commander and staff member standing next to him, approached and called Ho-yeong in a small voice.

“yes?”

“It’s too long. Short.. Short please.”

“Shortly? Short in a game where you have to raise the morale of the troops a lot?!”

“I mean, morale is going down right now.”

“what?”

Hoyeong was perplexed and looked closely at the troops.

All of them are looking at Hoyoung with bored expressions on their faces, wondering when it will be over.

“Eh..”

Hoyeong’s eyes sparkled as she clicked her tongue as she looked around at the unit members.

Among the bleary-eyed corps members, there is only one person looking at himself with sparkling eyes.

It was the 6th captain.

‘The 6th Ace of our Daesung Shelter combat unit! How discouraged he was when he said he was seriously injured… But he stood up tall again with eyes full of guns…

“Captain!”

“Ah, I got it!”

Ho-young, who was suddenly alerted by Jung-hyeon’s urging voice, hurriedly finished it.

“Anyway, it’s a story that everyone shouldn’t get hurt. Keep in mind that you’re an opponent who can’t get hurt if you’re not careful! Do you understand?!”

“Yes!”

“Oh, I forgot. One more thing. You must have read all the official documents about that gatekeeper, right? They say he’s much stronger than other monsters, so when he appears, the general team members step back and deal with the normal monsters, and only the captains work together to deal with him. Do it. Do you understand? Once again, make sure to prioritize destroying the gate without taking damage!”

“Yes!”

After Hoyoung finished speaking, he looked at the 6th leader.

‘If it wasn’t for the information he asked, I would have been in a big mess. Anyway, how did you find out the information… I couldn’t ask anymore because I couldn’t tell you at all…’

Hoyoung, who looked at the 6th leader with proud eyes, ordered each of them to check their armaments and prepare for departure.

******

“Uh…what time is it?”

Jung-min jumped up from the mattress.

When I opened the inventory gate, I could see the bright scenery outside.

“I must have brought you a watch…”

Jung-min rummaged through the inventory piled with various items and soon found a small electronic watch.

“Whew.. It’s not past lunchtime yet. I thought you overslept..”

Jungmin let out a sigh of relief and prepared to go outside.

After getting ready by wiping his face with bottled water and brushing his teeth, Jung-min went out of the inventory gate.

Walking slowly through the alleyway, I saw the main gate of Daesung Shelter.

Unusually, many people gathered at the shelter’s front door.

Jung-min muttered as he looked at the people gathered in the alleyway with their heads sticking out.

“Looks like they’re leaving soon. Are those all combat groups? More than I thought?”

The people who had gathered in front of the shelter and were standing in rows began to slowly walk towards the gate.

Jeong-min looked around and searched for a suitable building.

“I’ll have to settle down, too, but where would be a good place…”

Jeongmin looked at the three-story building near the gate.

“I think I can see it pretty well from up there… Let’s go over there.”

If you look at the top of the building, you want to be able to see the battlefield well at a glance.

Jung-min started walking to the vicinity of the building.

After walking for some time, the building came into sight.

“Uhh.. It’s pretty badly burned.. It won’t collapse, right?”

Jung-min muttered and used space movement while looking at the top of the building.

Appearing in the air about 3m higher than the roof of the building, Jungmin landed on the roof floor while balancing.

After landing, I looked around, but there didn’t seem to be any problems other than scorched everywhere.

Jeongmin leaned on the roof railing and looked in the direction of the gate.

‘It looks good too’

Infested with goblins and goblin champions. A black gate standing between them.

It seemed to be preparing for defense while screaming as if it had noticed a group of humans approaching in front of it.

Jeongmin thought while looking at the humans and monsters standing in confrontation.

‘Now…is it the beginning?’

Starting with a loud shout, Daesung’s combat unit started shooting ranged skills.

Various skills flew and fell among the goblins, and countless monsters were swept away by the skills.

At the same time, someone shouted loudly next to Daesung’s combat unit, and the combat unit members with various weapons shouted and charged into the gate.

‘I can see quite a few familiar faces… Didn’t the 1st team leader carry a shield? Is he a tanker role? I can see both the 3rd and 4th teammates… Where is this guy…Ah, there he is’

Jung-min saw Jun-ki leading a group of people and charging.

Joon-gi, holding the sword Jeong-min gave him in his hand, made a fireball and threw it at the enemy camp.

The fireball flew towards the enemy camp and exploded, swallowing several goblins.

Jun-gi and his crew jumped between them and started slashing the goblins.

A goblin champion rushed at Junki, but after a few battles, the goblin champion turned into a cold corpse and lay down on the ground.

‘You’re good..the one that stands out the most? I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.’

Jung-min turned his gaze away from Jun-ki and looked at the entire battlefield.

Daesung’s combat unit was driving the goblins almost to the point of massacre.

It seemed that there were occasional casualties, but no serious situation seemed to be seen at all.

‘It looks like you’ve been training really hard. You can easily destroy a level D gate.’

After some time passed, the number of goblins was noticeably reduced.

The combat unit members of Daeseong’s side gradually advanced and came to step right in front of the gate.

Just as they were advancing while slaughtering the goblins who were constantly being pushed back, a flash of light came from the gate, and then something walked out.

He is 2m tall, and his green muscles cover his whole body.

The gigantic monster with large swords in both hands snorted and screamed.

“Keee-“

‘It’s here..Gatekeeper…that’s the Goblin Lord..!’

Even from a distance, it seemed that he felt the sense of intimidation given by his large size.

The Goblin Lord immediately flung itself at the nearest combatant.

A goblin rod brandishing a sword at the fighters, who seemed to freeze from intimidation.

The combat crew raised the sword they were holding to block the sword of the goblin lord, but with a shriek, they flew back and crashed into a wall.

‘That’s quite a bit of strength… is that person going to be okay?’

While Jeong-Min looked on anxiously, Dae-Sung’s combat unit moved quickly.

The general crew surrounded the area and started dealing with the rest of the goblins and goblin champions, and ten people entered the space in the middle and started dealing with the goblin lord.

‘Looks like the captains are dealing with the Goblin Lord. good idea’

Seongdong, the leader of the first team, and a man he had never seen before put their shields forward and ran towards the Goblin Lord, who swung his sword and struck the shield.

Every time the shield was struck by the sword, it repeatedly pushed back two or three steps, but it stuck like a stick and did not give the goblin rod a chance to attack the other captains.

People holding melee weapons, including Jun-ki, surrounded the goblin rod and inserted their weapons whenever there was a gap.

The two women who were waiting in the back rushed in every time an injured person occurred, healed them, and then fell back to the rear repeatedly.

Jung-min thought as he watched the commanders of the combat unit fight.

‘It’s definitely because we trained a lot together, so our hands and feet fit well… that’s good. There won’t be any difficulties’

The goblin lord’s body soon became covered in blood.

It must have been quite exhausting, so he snorted continuously and swung the swords in both hands.

The moment when the swords of the Goblin Lord are blocked by the shield and push the two people who act as tanks.

Jun-gi, who was looking for a gap, jumped from behind the goblin rod and swung his sword at his neck.

Shaak

Jun-gi’s sword cut through his neck neatly.

The goblin lord turned to Junki as if he didn’t know what had happened to him.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

But soon, the head of the goblin lord rolled on the ground, and the lost body struggled with its arms several times before falling backwards.

Upon confirming that the Goblin Lord had fallen, Junki immediately rushed towards the gate and lowered his sword.

There was a sound like something breaking, and the gate started to shake.

The gate disappeared as if the space was distorted and crumbled here and there, and then sucked into the center.

Daesung’s combat team let out a victory cry.

The remaining goblins began to scream and run away in all directions when the gate they were supposed to protect disappeared.

‘It’s over’

Jung-min moved away from the roof railing he was leaning on and stepped back.

I didn’t feel the need to see any more.

‘I don’t see many people injured… they fight well. There’s no need to worry about level D gates.’

Jimin looked up at the sky.

The sun was still high, so it seemed like there was quite a bit of time left before evening fell.

Jeongmin came to the opposite railing and looked out into the street.

Another D-class gate in the distance.

“The Shelter side is over…now it’s my turn.”

Jung-min was thinking of destroying a D-class gate alone for the rest of the day.

Leah said it would be possible enough, but I felt nervous as it was my first attempt at destroying a gate.

Taking a deep breath, Jeongmin moved in space towards the gate.
