I Live Alone in the Inventory

Episode 23

Jung-min moved to the vicinity of the gate and put on the armor.

The light that started from the bracelet covered Jeong-min’s entire body, and soon Jung-min, wearing silver armor all over his body, was standing there.

Jimin moved his body around.

‘I don’t feel the weight that much, perhaps because the strength stat went up. I’ll be able to fight a lot easier.”

Jeong-min put on his armor and started walking slowly towards the gate, holding his sword.

The goblins gathered around the gate noticed Jung-min’s presence and showed a wary appearance, then began to rush at Jeong-min, screaming.

‘Okay, let’s start’

Jeongmin swung his sword at the goblins rushing at him.

One for each swing. The goblins fell to the ground as they rushed forward.

The goblin champions who attacked intermittently fell helplessly in front of Jeong-min’s sword, no different from normal goblins.

Jeongmin swung his sword in a trance.

The goblins surrounded Jeong-Min tightly from the front and left and right, attacking him.

However, Jung-min evaded all attacks even in a small space and sprayed his sword once in a while, and each time, without fail, one or more goblins fell to the ground with their bodies pierced or cut.

‘I can see all the attacks. And it’s slow… It must be the effect of training.’

As he swung his sword wildly, there were a lot of goblin corpses around him.

The goblins surrounding Jeong-min suddenly widened their siege and were looking at Jeong-min with fearful eyes from a distance.

“Whew…”

Jimin could feel the sweat running down his face.

“I’m going to take care of it alone, so there’s definitely a lot… How many are there? It seems like there are a lot more monsters than the monsters at the gate we attacked in Daeseong earlier…”

After opening and closing the inventory gate and designating where to come out, Jeongmin looked at the goblins surrounding him and said.

“Let’s take a break and continue. You guys are taking a break too.”

Jung-min opened the base gate and went inside.

Entering the inventory, Jung-min removed the armor first.

My whole body was wet with sweat and I felt very uncomfortable.

After wiping off his sweat, Jung-min replenished his hydration by drinking water.

When he opened the inventory gate, the battlefield he had been standing on until just now caught his eye.

The goblins seemed to be looking for Jung-min while looking around, bewildered by the sudden disappearance of Jung-min.

“Certainly, there are more monsters than the gate in front of Daeseong Shelter.

Jung-min drank the water and put on the armor again.

“Okay, I took a break…let’s finish this turn.”

Jung-min moved to the side of the goblin champion outside the gate.

As soon as he appeared, he swung his sword and blew off the goblin champion’s head. Only then did the surrounding goblins discover Jeong-min and scattered in all directions screaming.

Jung-min chased after the fleeing goblins one by one and swung his sword to blow off their heads.

‘Come to think of it, I have to use the skills attached to the sword… I’ve never used them before, have I? Shall we try?’

Jung-min tried using the ‘Strike’ skill attached to ‘Luunan’s Sword’.

One of the goblin champions hit by Jung-min’s sword split in two and collapsed.

‘I don’t think there’s much difference from just wielding it? I guess I’ll have to use it on monsters with stronger defense… It would be meaningless to use it against goblins’

Jung-min stopped using the skill and continued to slash the enemy.

After slaughtering the goblins for a while, a light flashed from the gate and something started to walk out.

‘Goblin Road! Now the end is in sight’

Jeongmin looked at the goblin road walking out of the gate.

‘It feels like it’s a bit smaller than the goblin rod that fought against Daesung Shelter earlier? What is it you’re holding in your hand…? A staff?!’

It was a goblin rod with a different appearance from the previous battle of Daesung.

A tall goblin rod with a skinny body that doesn’t show any muscles.

All over his body, he had animal bone fragments and teeth hanging from him, and he was holding a cane instead of a sword in his hand.

The goblin lord let out a scream when he saw Jung-min, then raised his staff in front of him.

“!!”

I muttered something for a while, but a fireball came out of the staff and flew at high speed.

Jung-min was startled and threw his body to the side and rolled on the floor.

Kwaaang!!

The fireball stuck in the place where Jung-Min was just now caused an explosion with a loud sound, and in the aftermath, several goblins started jumping up and down with their bodies on fire.

Jung-min gritted his teeth as he jumped up from rolling on the floor.

“A goblin rod that uses magic?! Aren’t all goblin rods the same?”

Jeong-Min, who expected the Goblin Lord with the twin swords he had seen earlier, was embarrassed.

At that time, the goblin lord holding the staff muttered again and prepared to use magic.

‘Don’t give me a chance to use magic!’

Jeong-min, who tried to teleport to the front of the goblin road, couldn’t achieve what he wanted because of the goblins attacking him.

It was because the goblins, who were frightened by Jung-min’s inaction and ran away, shook off their fear when the Goblin Lord appeared and began to actively attack Jeong-min.

As the sight was not secured due to the densely packed goblins and goblin champions surrounding him, Jung-min could not move anywhere and had no choice but to swing his sword in place.

And.

A fireball that flew at the goblins who were entangled with Jung-min.

Wow!

The fireball caused a huge explosion and tore the bodies of the goblins apart, and Jung-min was also caught in the aftermath of the explosion and rolled backwards.

“Big uh…”

Steam rose from the armor, and a warm pain rushed inside.

When Jung-Min raised his head and raised his head, the image of the Goblin Lord chanting an incantation with a triumphant expression caught his eye.

“Visibility secured. You son of a bitch!”

Jung-min moved in space before the goblins rushed in again and appeared right in front of the Goblin Road.

Jung-Min swings his sword at the Goblin Road as he moves through space.

The goblin lord, who had cast the spell, looked at Jung-min with a shocked look on his face.

‘done!’

Caang!

Jung-min’s sword, which was certain to cut the goblin rod, was blocked by something translucent and bounced off.

‘shield?’

Something translucent in the shape of a shield soon cracked and then shattered and disappeared into thin air.

Seeing that, the Goblin Lord was very embarrassed and threw himself back.

And the goblins rushing in between them.

‘I can’t see a place to teleport. then..’

Jung-min, whose vision was blocked by the goblins again, lifted his head and moved into space while looking at the sky above the goblin road.

The place where Jung-min appeared was about 5 meters above the head of the Goblin Road.

Jeongmin lifted his sword above his head as he fell down.

The goblin lord did not find Jung-min falling from above, but a translucent shield appeared again and blocked Jeong-min’s path.

‘A normal attack only produces the same results as before. I have to attack even stronger!’

Jung-min swung his sword and cast the ‘Strike’ skill.

Pacan

Jung-Min’s sword, loaded with powerful skills, broke through the translucent shield.

And the goblin rod underneath it was also slashed and swung.

Woodangtang

“Oops!”

Jung-min fell from the sky swinging his sword and rolled on the ground with a loud sound.

Jeong-min stood up, enduring the pain that surged through his body, and saw the corpse of the Goblin Lord, who had been split from the top of his head and collapsed.

“Phew.. using the punching skill was the correct answer.”

Looking around, I saw the goblins who had lost their rod panicking and running away in all directions.

“Since you killed the keeper…now you can destroy the gate…before that…”

Jung-Min jumped at the group of fleeing goblins.

‘From handling the leftovers!’

Jung-min pursued and slaughtered the fleeing goblins.

He chased after him, even using space movement, but he couldn’t catch all the goblins that were scattered and running away.

“Phew… Is it this far?”

Jimin looked around and took a deep breath.

The sun was slowly going down.

I looked around and saw no more animated goblins.

Jungmin walked slowly toward the gate.

Approaching the gate, Jung-min raised his sword above his head and lowered it with all his might.

The gate disappears with the sound of something breaking, just like when Daesung attacked the gate.

Jeongmin sat down on the floor looking at the spot where the gate stood.

“Ha… It was hard. But I destroyed the D-class gate by myself…”

Jung-min sat down and canceled the summoning of the armor.

Sweat soaked clothes were clinging to my whole body, and I felt very bitter pain.

“Aww… I think he got burned… It’s very painful…”

Jung-min took out a low-level potion from his inventory and gently applied it to his skin.

Chi profit

“Oh, it stings..”

On the skin where the potion was applied, air bubbles rose with a burning sound, and soon a cool feeling was felt and the pain disappeared.

“It seems that the treatment is roughly finished… I wonder if there is something to be saved.”

Jung-min splits and approaches the fallen Goblin Lord.

“Ah…I did, but…it’s embarrassing to see…”

Jeongmin frowned as he inspected the goblin lord’s corpse.

“Cane and… anything else?”

Looking around the corpse, Jimin found a ring on the goblin lord’s finger.

It was a simple, slender silver ring.

Jung-min first examined the wand using his emotional eyes.

“It’s just a normal staff…”

Jung-min threw his cane on the floor and tried using his emotional eye on the ring.

[Ring of Protection: Twice a day, summons a shield that protects the owner of the ring. (0/2)]

“Ohhhhh?!”

Jung-min was very surprised when he saw the message in front of him.

“The shield that blocked my sword earlier was this ring! If it’s twice a day, it means that the number of uses will be charged again tomorrow, right?”

Jeongmin murmured as he recalled the moment the shield was created.

“During the second attack, the Goblin Lord fell in the air and didn’t notice me attacking. But the shield was created. That said… this ring is not used by the owner’s will, but automatically used when the owner is in danger. Isn’t that what it’s supposed to be? This…is good…? To think that such a great item could only come out from a D-class gate keeper…”

Jimin put the ring on his finger.

The ring, which was slightly large and baggy, shrank on its own and changed to fit Jung-min’s finger.

Jung-min proudly looked at the ring on his finger and opened the status window.

“Status window”

A status window appeared in front of Jung-min’s eyes.

[Jungmin Choi

Strength: 93 (+30)

Stamina: 92 (+20)

Agility: 89 (+30)

INT:70 (+10) [mp:13/129]

Holding Gold: 5960 Gold

Possessed Skills: Gate (lv.2) Space Movement (lv.4) Clairvoyance (lv.2) Emotional Eye (lv.2) Strike (lv.1) Mana Recovery (P) (lv.2) Perception (P) (lv.1)]

Looking at the status window, Jung-min’s eyes widened.

“The stats… the gold you have… have increased tremendously, right?”

Jung-min was very surprised to see the increased stats and gold holdings.

“Such many stats go up… Well, since I wiped out the monsters and even the gatekeeper by myself and destroyed the gate… If it’s natural, it’s a natural result.”

-Once you destroy the gate, you can get a lot of stat-ups, so it will get easier-

Jeongmin nodded, recalling what Leah had said.

“Certainly… the next D-class gate will be easier to capture than today. With the stats rising like this… destroying a gate by yourself is a really big deal.”

Jung-min felt grateful to Leah for giving him the power to destroy the gate alone.

“Now let’s get organized and go to Leah. We have to do the training we couldn’t do yesterday.”

Jimin looked around.

“…Anyway, what should I do with all these corpses… I don’t think it would be good to leave them as they are…”

Hundreds of goblin corpses were piled up around Jeongmin.

“It would be nice if it shrieked and disappeared like in the game… Maybe it would be good? It’s something to think about in the future.

Jeongmin shook his head.

“Can I just collect it and burn it?”

After thinking about it for a while, a good idea came to Jung-min’s head.

“Ah..! Why am I thinking of doing it alone? I have a faithful slave. My slave must be bored, so I need to give him something to do.”

Jung-min decided to stop by the shelter tomorrow and decided to leave.

After opening the gate for the base and entering the inventory, Jung-min crossed over to Leah’s inventory.

Leah had already opened the inventory gate, and Jung-min moved to Leah’s side.

Leah smiled and greeted Jeongmin.
