I Live Alone in the Inventory

Episode 3

Jeongmin looked at the status window that appeared in front of him.

[Jungmin Choi

Strength: 9

Stamina: 10

Agility: 9

Intelligence: 6 [mp:10/10]

Possessed Skills: Base Designation (lv.1) Space Movement (lv.1) Perspective (lv.1)

‘Oh… Looking at it again… It’s a simple status window…’

Jungmin thought as he relaxed.

‘ They say you can raise your stats through repetitive training… I’ll have to train as much as I can until [Trial of the Gods]. first of all…’

Jeongmin stared at the promenade in the distance.

At that moment, Jeong-min’s body disappeared, and it appeared at the spot he was looking at.

stagger

Jung-min stumbled as if feeling a little dizzy, but soon straightened his posture and was able to stand upright.

‘The amount of remaining mana is… 4… You can go anywhere that comes within sight, and consumes 6 mana when used once… You should be able to use it at least twice…’

Jeong-min ran around the spring until mana filled up again. After running for about 20 minutes, I checked the amount of mana, and the mana value, which was 4, had risen to 6.

‘You can recover 1 mana in 10 minutes..’

Jung-min uses space movement again.

Mana has completely run out.

‘I’ll just keep repeating it like this.’

Jung-min ran around the water spring, and when he ran out of mana, he used the skill again.

After repeating that for about two hours, the stats finally changed.

Jung-min opened the status window to check the stats.

[Health: 11]

‘My physical strength went up by 1.. It’s like this, right? Alright…about a month left until [Trial of the Gods]. Until then, let’s raise the stats as much as possible.’

Jung-min promised to be short and started running again.

******

The sun was setting by now.

Jungmin rested his hands on his knees and was breathing heavily.

‘…since my stamina went up by 1… no stats are going up any more… I thought it was pretty easy to increase the stamina stat right away… but it’s not at all…’

Jungmin took a deep breath and relaxed.

‘Whoa… let’s not go over it easily. If you keep repeating the training, your stats will definitely go up. You shouldn’t be in a hurry…’

After training at the mineral spring, Jeong-min made an appointment with Jun-ki on the phone.

Jung-Min, who walked near the shelter [Dae-Sung], was soon able to meet Jun-Gi.

Joon-gi looked around and dragged Jung-min into a dark alley.

“Where are you taking me? I’m sorry, but I’ve already allowed my heart to-“

“Don’t talk bullshit, go over there and watch who comes.”

Jung-min, embarrassed, grumbled and stood at the entrance of the alley, looking around.

“If someone is joking, you should at least pretend to take it. What is bullshit? Bullshit…”

After some time passed, Jun-gi approached and tapped Jung-min on the shoulder as he was looking around.

“Take the things you piled up over there into the inventory. I’ll be watching.”

After hearing Junki’s words, Jungmin went into the alley.

“…!”

Rice bags and bottled water inside. Miscellaneous necessities were piled up.

It’s not a lot, but if you use it alone, it’s an amount that can be used for quite a long time.

And a black stick on top of those items.

As I got closer, I heard that it was a sword in a black scabbard.

Jimin slowly drew his sword.

seuleung

The sword came out of the scabbard with a creepy sound.

‘I’ve seen it often in dramas… but it’s the first time I’ve seen and touched it myself…’

Whiik

Jeongmin swung the sword sideways several times as a test.

‘…it’s awkward… you’ll need some practice to use it properly…’

Jung-min put the sword back into the scabbard and put it into the inventory along with the supplies.

After putting in all the supplies, I approached Jun-gi who was watching at the entrance of the alley.

Joon-gi looked back at Jung-min and said.

“Did you put everything in? Let’s walk toward the shelter. It’s night training soon, so we have to go in.”

Joon-gi said as they walked side by side with Jung-min.

“What I felt while training was that the stat growth rate was good and the speed at which the skill level rose was quite good. .. It seems that the treatment towards me is better than when I said it before… So I briefly talked to the supply manager.

Jung-min asked with absurdity.

“…So, you handed that over?”

Junkie nodded.

“I told you. The treatment of me has improved quite a bit… Last time I asked if it was okay to let one more person into the shelter, I also refused, so I guess it was a bit too much to refuse this time. They quietly took care of me a little bit. while doing.”

“…Are you really recognized?”

Junki smiled slightly and nodded his head.

“So don’t worry. And that steel sword is the standard weapon of Shelter Awakens. It’s a sword made by skill, so it’s stronger than a normal steel sword. It’s not familiar to you, but practice as much as you can. In fact, bring food and supplies. It was even harder to get one of them.”

Jimin nodded and said

“..thank you. I’ll write well”

“..I don’t give it to you to fight the monsters well. It’s given as a minimum self-defense.

“Yes, yes. Okay. Don’t worry.”

“…That base designation skill, if you don’t have a specific base to designate, I don’t think it’s a bad choice to stock up in case you enter the shelter later. It’s going to be difficult to use right now…”

“..well, I’ll keep that in mind”

As we were walking and talking, the shelter [Daesung] caught my eye.

Joon-gi greeted Jin-seong.

“I’ll go now. Go in well. Train hard. You have to raise your stats a lot.”

“Don’t worry. I’m going to raise more than your stats? I heard there’s night training. Hurry up.”

Joon-gi said goodbye to Jung-min and went into the shelter.

Jeongmin looked at Junki’s back and said quietly.

“thanks.”

********

Until the day before [Trial of the Gods] begins.

Jung-min’s work was always the same.

When I woke up in the morning, I went to the mineral spring and did running and strength training to raise my strength, stamina, and agility stats.

He used the space movement skill from time to time, and when mana was restored, he used it again to increase his intelligence stat.

It’s been over a month now. Jung-min’s stats had risen considerably.

“Status window”

[Jungmin Choi

Strength: 14

Stamina: 15

Agility: 15

Intelligence: 10 [mp:18/18]

Possessed Skills: Base Designation (lv.1) Space Movement (lv.2) Perspective (lv.1)

Seeing the results of his efforts so far, Jung-min’s eyes filled with pride.

‘Even if you simply think about the stats, you’re about 1.5 times stronger than a month ago. I’ve never fought, so I can’t feel it…’

Above all, Jung-min was most satisfied with the level of his space movement skill rising to level 2.

‘Intelligence stat increased, total mana increased to 18.. Skill level increased, so mana consumption decreased from 6 to 5 when using skills.. Now you can use space movement up to three times in a row.. If it is three space movement It’ll be enough to get you out of any danger..’

Jung-min stood at the spring and looked down the mountain.

Even today, the day before [Trial of the Gods], large shelters and small guild headquarters were full of protesters.

At the beginning of the protests, there were efforts by the government to intervene, but they quieted down after receiving more criticism.

The government took the lead and colluded with several large corporations to build the largest shelter and drag the most awakened people, so there was nothing to say.

Troops were deployed throughout the city.

Maybe he wanted to reassure the citizens who are not protected by shelters or guilds. The government was propagating not to worry, saying that if demons appeared, the soldiers deployed in the city would fight first.

‘The fact that modern firearms won’t work is already widely known through social media… It’s just a performance for show…’

Jung-min looked at the demonstrators sadly and said.

“Wouldn’t it be better to take care of your family and find a safe place during the protest time like that… No matter how much you protest, the shelter will never accept you…”

Jeongmin shook his head and prepared to go home.

“Who cares about my subjects. Let’s take care of the safety of my body.”

Jeong-min was planning to start the [Trial of the Gods] at the mineral water spring again tomorrow.

Since the gates of monsters appear randomly, I decided that it would be better to stay in a high place with a good view of all directions and then move to a safe place to hide.

‘By the way, what time exactly does it start tomorrow? The time didn’t really come out, but it wouldn’t start right at midnight, right?’

Jeong-min walked home thinking that he should wake up as early as possible and come to the spring.

Jung-min, who arrived home, washed up early and lay down.

Most of the items in the house were stored in the inventory, so there was no need to pack extra.

Jeong-min, who called Jun-gi, said goodbye to each other and said that they would survive well, and ended the call and went to sleep.

And the midnight that Jung-min was concerned about.

[Trial of the Gods] has begun

[The trial of the gods begins. Gates are spawned in random locations. Destroy all the gates and overcome the trials of the gods!]

Jung-min, who had been unable to sleep due to the thought of God’s trials to come, jumped up with disgust at the message that appeared in front of him.

‘Such a dog… It really starts at midnight…!’

Jung-min got dressed and ran outside.

A mixture of screams and screams could be heard from across the dark alley.

‘First of all, I need to find a place where I can see all around..! No, should I just run to the spring?’

While Jung-min was wandering and thinking, he heard footsteps somewhere and something appeared in the alley.

‘Ugh..! What is that..!’

Something unidentified that appeared in the alley was as tall as Jung-min’s chest and had green skin. He had a small knife or ax in his hand, and something like a mat was wrapped around his waist.

When they saw Jeong-min standing there blankly looking at them, they screamed and rushed at them.

“Kekeek!!”

Jung-min, frightened by the group of green monsters rushing to where he was, hurriedly moved to a place in sight.

peit

Jung-min’s figure disappeared in an instant and reappeared on the wall in the alley where the monsters protruded.

Jung-min, who was narrowly positioned in a narrow area, quickly came down the wall and started running.

The green monsters, who were taken aback by Jeong-min’s sudden disappearance, found Jung-min running from behind and began to chase after him, screaming.

‘I have to move further… but I can’t see well because it’s night…!’

Jungmin ran hard and looked around.

‘Once high! You can find a place that is far from the gates of the monsters if you look from a high place!’

Even while running, Jung-min bit his lip and regretted it.

‘If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed at the mineral spring even if I was homeless…’

I felt something approaching from behind.

When I glanced behind me, I saw a group of green monsters following me.

‘already? It’s fast!!’

Jung-min had no choice but to use space travel again.

This time, I was able to teleport quite far forward.

‘Now, the number of moves left is… I need to find a safe place…’

Jung-min blames the child.

He had to find a safe place to hide, but the area around the alley in the residential area where Jung-Min was now was in the middle of Hell, where fires soared and people’s screams and monsters’ screams were mixed.

Jungmin continued to run down the alleyway.

You can see the end of the alley.

If you leave the alley, you will now come to a road that is open on all sides, and it will be easy to move around in search of a place to hide.

The remaining space movement skill is only one. After using it as safe as possible, I thought I had to hide and wait for mana to recover.

If it weren’t for the monsters that suddenly jump out and attack.

A green monster suddenly jumped out from the side of the road and charged Jung-min with a knife.

It was really luck that the frightened Jeong-min was able to catch the arm of the monster wielding the sword.

For a while, a power showdown between the monster trying to suppress it and Jung-min trying to stop it continued.

‘…Worth it?’

The power of the monster, which was not as strong as he thought, gave Jung-min a bit of confidence.

“Yes, I’m an awakened person who trained at the mineral spring for a month! At least a small monster like you!!”

Jung-min kicked the monster in the confrontation while holding his arms.

“Keeck!”

A green monster that roars and flies backwards.

Jung-min had no choice but to stop the steps he was trying to follow in order to finish.

It was because green monsters appeared from all sides.

“…I’m really excited…”

Holding a sword and an ax, he climbed up the wall to avoid the demons surrounding Jeong-min.

I stood precariously on the wall and looked at the end of the alley.

Beyond the alleyway, I could see a dim light toward the dark road.

Jung-min gritted his teeth as he saw a group of green monsters clamoring at him under the wall.

‘..It’s the last space movement…Please be safe there..’

Jung-min performed the last space movement.

The place where Jung-min appeared was in the middle of a dark road.

All the streetlights were broken, so there was no light to illuminate the surroundings.

However, there was something in the middle that was emitting a faint light, and Jung-min stood looking at it with a desperate expression.

‘It’ looks very similar to Jung-min’s inventory gate.

However, if there is a difference, it is very large compared to the inventory gate.

Jeong-min bit his lip as he gazed at the large gate that looked more than 3 meters high.

‘That light… was the light coming from the monster’s gate…’

The surroundings were full of green monsters that came out of the gate.

The monsters hesitated for a moment, surprised by Jeong-min’s sudden appearance, then began to rush at them with screams and screams.

Jimin started running.

I tried to run while avoiding the green monster that attacked from the front, but I was soon surrounded from all sides.

“Inventory!”

Shouting desperately, Jung-min opened the inventory and took out a steel sword from inside.

“Come on, you motherfuckers!”

As he took out his sword from its scabbard and swung it in all directions, he shouted, and the approaching green monsters seemed to hesitate.

Seeing this, Jeongmin exclaimed even more desperately.

“Come on, you XXs! Are you scared? Are you scared?!”

A monster stepped forward from among the group of green monsters who couldn’t recklessly approach Jeong-min, who shouted in blue and swung his sword.

A hand span taller than a normal green monster. It’s almost as tall as Jungmin’s.

Unlike other green monsters with swords or axes, it does not hold a weapon in its hand.

He just wears something like a clunky knuckle in his hand.

When a tall monster appeared, the green monsters surrounding Jung-min widened their siege and retreated.

Jung-min, who was swinging his sword in all directions, gasped and shouted at the monster approaching him.

“What… what… One-on-one? Ha! On the topic of monsters… go at it! Come at me, you fucking bitch!”

The large monster raised its knuckle-clad fist and quickly approached Jeong-min.

Surprised, Jeongmin swung his sword sideways.

The monster leaned heavily to avoid the sword and burrowed into Jung-min’s arms.

perok

The monster’s fist strikes Jung-Min’s wide open chest.

Blood gushed out like a fountain from Jimin’s mouth.

“Cheer…Keah heouk…”

Jungmin staggered backwards.

teouk.

Jung-min’s back, which was backing up, reached the inventory gate that was still open.

[Living creatures cannot pass through the inventory gate.]

The light disappeared from Jung-min’s eyes at the last message that floated in front of him.

At the same time, Jung-min’s body was sucked into the inventory.
