I Live Alone in the Inventory

Episode 26

“Yes, a dragon has appeared.”

Jeongmin stared blankly at Leah for a while.

“Well, then the reason Leah was hurt is…”

Leah nodded and said.

“Yes, I was slightly injured in the battle with the dragon. It’s definitely because he’s the last gatekeeper, but he’s strong.”

“Ah… I see. Then, that dragon…?”

Leah’s expression darkened.

“Unfortunately, I missed it. During the battle, when he was at a disadvantage, he immediately ran away. I didn’t know how to run away right away, so I stayed in a daze and lost it. That’s a big deal. I don’t think it’ll be easy to find if you just hide away…”

“Oh, I see..”

Jung-min was once again surprised at Leah’s strength.

“It was the first time I saw blood shed, so I was really surprised. It’s good that it’s not a big wound.”

“Oh, this blood? The dragon spewed out a breath while running away, and I was hit by that. It was pretty sick.”

“Ah, yes.. It’s a breath that hurts quite a bit..”

“..?”

Leah tilted her head.

After looking at Leah for a while, Jung-min continued.

“Anyway, you worked hard. I can see the end though. Even the gatekeeper of the last gate appeared…”

At Jung-min’s words, Leah sighed and said.

“That’s true… but I haven’t even found the location of the S-class gate yet.”

“Still, there is a gate close to the area Leah is exploring, so maybe she met the gatekeeper?”

“.. Yes?”

“Um… that’s what I think. The S-class gate, feeling that Leah is getting closer to her, sends out the gatekeeper to divert Leah’s attention to the other side. Otherwise, there’s no way the gatekeeper who has to guard the gate will appear alone and attack Leah-san, right?”

“Ah… that might be the case. It’s definitely weird. The keeper who should be by the gate wanders around alone like that…”

Leah nodded and looked at Jeongmin.

“So, Leah-san, don’t pay attention to the dragon, and continue exploring in the direction you’ve been going. If you do that, I think you will be able to discover the S-class gate.”

“Yes.. I should. Thank you, Mr. Jungmin. If it wasn’t for Jung-min, I would have wasted my time searching for the hidden dragon.”

“Ah what?”

Leah looked at Jung-min with warm eyes when he was embarrassed.

“Now, Elan is coming to an end, but Earth is just beginning. That’s why I have to put more effort into training. Shall we practice chi today? I’ve been working hard for a long time and I’m hungry. Hurry up and practice and eat.”

At Leah’s words, Jung-min nodded and got up to prepare for training.

*******

Jung-min returned to the inventory around 1:00 in the morning.

It was because I was not aware of the passing of time as I was hanging out with Leah while eating snacks.

Jung-min opened the inventory gate and moved to the one room he was assigned.

Lying on the soft bed in the studio, I looked up at the ceiling and was lost in thought.

‘The results of today’s training were quite great. Finally, the skill level of space movement has risen to 5… The gate skill level has also risen to 4…’

In the training to raise the intelligence stat after completing combat training with Leah, Jung-min was finally able to raise the skill level of space movement to 5.

Jung-min was very happy and Leah was also very happy.

‘It was a little disappointing that the effect of the added skill wasn’t that great, but… but I think it will be useful’

The additional effect received after raising the skill level to 5 was that the number of people who could move together increased from 2 to 3.

It was a somewhat disappointing effect, but I was hoping for the next level 5 base designation skill.

‘If the base designation skill reaches level 5… the expected additional effect is one of two. It would be nice if the number of people who can use the base gate increases… or the ability to designate additional bases… or the effect of being able to designate additional bases… You don’t have to specify where to come from. Then, you can freely use the inventory in Elan, where Leah is, too…’

Jung-min, who had not been able to use his inventory when exploring Elan or other inventories, was feeling quite uncomfortable.

It was because he was anxious about using his inventory in another dimension and was afraid that he would never be able to return to Earth again, and he was careful about using his inventory every time.

However, if this room could be designated as a base, all those problems would be solved and its usability would increase.

‘I have to work harder on my intelligence stat training. I need to raise my skill level sooner…’

As I was lying on my soft bed and thinking about this and that, someone knocked on the front door.

smart

Jung-min came to his senses and got up from the bed and approached the studio door.

“password”

“Stop talking nonsense, open it quickly.”

Hearing Junki’s low voice, Jungmin grumbled as he opened the door.

“What kind of prank do you take with such seriousness?”

“You said I shouldn’t be walking around at dawn in principle. It’s a situation where there’s nothing good to stand out from anyone, so do you really have to joke around like that?”

“Hmm… shoot.”

Junki said as he sat down on the bed.

“By the way, how was this room assigned? It would be difficult to get a room with a private bathroom.”

“Oh yeah? Is it that difficult to be assigned?”

“I guess so. Even if you look at the combat team, all members of the general team, not the leader, live in a residential area with a communal bathroom and a communal shower room. So are their families. Is this a studio with a private bathroom? It’s a space where Daesung’s executives can be assigned.”

“Hmm… I didn’t expect it to be that much. Doesn’t the personnel officer seem to be paying attention?”

Hearing Jung-min’s words, Jun-ki pursed his brows and said.

“A personnel officer? tight crew? Did this room full of people assign you?”

“It’s tight.. Oh, the personnel officer doesn’t seem popular. If it’s enough to be called that way by you… well, you act so bubbly… you deserve it.”

“You seem to be close with less than 100,000 won? Is it really true that this room was prepared by a tight crew member? why? What connection do you have?”

Jung-min reached out his hand and calmed down the excited Jun-ki.

“Whoa, whoa. Calm down. I’ll tell you step by step. You have a lot of questions anyway, right?”

After calming Jun-ki down, Jeong-min told him about his progress since the beginning of the ordeal of God.

Joon-gi put on a very surprised expression as he listened to Jung-min’s words.

Eventually, when Jung-min finished talking, Jun-ki shook his head and said,

“Hey, there are so many surprises, I don’t know where to start. So you can enter the inventory, live there as a base, go to another dimension by dimension shifting, receive instruction from the strongest person in that dimension, and even go in and out of other people’s inventories, right? In the meantime, did you become your slave? Ha, indeed…”

“Oh, can you believe it at once?”

“You’re not smart enough to invent something like this. I don’t know, but you’ve had a lot of trouble with your brain since you were little.”

“Kuhm..”

“Anyway, that’s great… Then the sword and potion you gave me before…”

“The sword was taken from the inventory of the deceased from another dimension. It was like a world in a martial arts place. I got the potion from Mr. Leah… the person I am teaching.”

“Miss Leah? Is the name of the person who teaches you Leah? Sounds like a girl’s name?”

“That’s the girl’s name.”

“You are..!”

Joon-gi got up from the bed as if in a fit and glared at Jeong-min.

“…is it pretty?”

“Pretty. very.”

“Keugh…!”

Junki clutched his chest and sat back down on the bed.

“You this new X. My older brother struggled to die in this desolate shelter… No, he almost died. Anyway, I’m living in the middle of the day, but you’re pretty… Leah? You mean you were hanging out with Leah-san?”

“Kkongnyangkkongnyang is a bitch. And who is playing because you train Do you know how hard that is?”

“Our drill instructor is a hairy, hairy man!”

Jeongmin shook his head and looked at Junki with a pitiful look.

Joon-gi took a breath for a while to calm his agitated mind and spoke softly to Jeong-min.

“Envious guy…”

“Awesome..”

Seeing Jung-min’s pitiful eyes, Jun-gi sighed and said,

“Whoa..By the way, Chong Jo-won brainwashed the Shelter Director… is that really me? No, wait, then you’re saying that you, who brainwashed the Shelter Director, who brainwashed the Shelter Director as slaves, are the owner of this shelter?”

“Well… you might think so.”

“Ha, the real me was here.”

Junki shook his head as if he was dumbfounded.

“But will it be okay? It seems that the shelter chief’s position is in jeopardy…”

“yes? What do you mean?”

“No, I don’t know the details either… Mr. Bushelter. So, a power struggle between the former vice chairman of Daesung Group and the current head of Shelter? It seemed that the same thing was serious. Rather, I have heard that the current Shelter Chief is in danger because the power of the Bushelter faction is greater.”

“yes? I’ll have to ask the HR manager later.”

“Well, take care of that.”

Joon-gi spoke to Jung-min in a serious tone.

“A story told to me today. Does anyone else know?”

“Isn’t it? Who else am I going to tell this to?”

Junki nodded and said.

“yes. It’s best not to talk about it if possible. Well, regardless of whether you believe it or not,”

“Well… I don’t have any plans to brag about it.”

“I’m talking seriously, so pay attention. Don’t regret it after something bothersome happens later.”

“If something bothers you, just hit it and break it. you said Am I strong enough to destroy the gate by myself?”

“Ah, no luck. You said you were looking for it in [Pearl River] as well? Look at that. It’s already going to cause trouble.”

“That’s it… okay. Do not worry about it.”

Jung-min waved his hand at Jun-ki and changed the topic.

“Did you destroy the gate this time and your stats went up?”

“yes. My stats have gone up quite a bit. His stats didn’t go up by catching the monsters, but he jumped up after destroying the gate.”

“If you have a chance in the future, make sure you destroy the gate. You will have to raise your stats a lot before the next level gate appears.”

“I wish I did too… Next time I decided to take turns destroying the gates. I can’t monopolize that experience point alone…”

“Hmm.. It must be hard to eat alone.. Anyway, try to train harder. You have to raise your stats unconditionally.”

Junki nodded and said.

“Okay, okay. Now that you’ve tried it once, you’ll start attacking other gates as well. Maybe they thought it would be inefficient to come together like the first time, but they seem to be splitting up to attack.”

“Good idea. In fact, the number of people put in this time was excessive compared to the gate.”

“Because it was the first time. In the future, the unit will be split up to attack gates, and gates near small and medium guilds will be dispatched to attack together. It was difficult to attack the gate with only the guild’s own power, so they said they were asking for help.”

Jungmin nodded and looked at Junki.

“Well, everything is fine. Always take care of yourself. Also, don’t get hurt by fussing around unnecessarily. Do you have the potion I gave you? Think of it as an extra life and keep it well. If it’s dangerous, use it right away. And when you’re done, say it again. I will take care of you more.”

“Yeah. I knew that our Choi Jung-min would take care of him when he grew up this much… Hyung was thrilled. Do you have to take good care of your brother with all your heart?”

“Stop talking nonsense and go now. slowly sleepy Do you train again from tomorrow?”

Junki nodded at Jungmin’s question.

“right. In training, in attacking the gate.. I think you will be very busy. you take care of yourself too When attacking the gate, be sure to hide your identity well. got it?”

“okay okay”

Joon-gi looked at Jung-min with an unreliable look, then opened the front door and left.

Jung-min lay down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling to sleep.

”Ah.. I can’t sleep.. something.. it’s comfortable, but it’s uncomfortable.’

After tossing and turning several times, Jung-min opened the inventory gate as if he couldn’t stand it any longer.

Jung-min lifted the bed and pushed it into the inventory, then opened the base gate and went inside.

After pushing the mattress on the inventory floor to one place, putting the bed down and lying on it, Jung-min murmured as he finally felt sleep coming.

“As expected.. it’s comfortable here..”
