Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 1
Surviving as an SSS-level warehouse character
Episode 1
Today was another hard day.
From going to work early in the morning to finishing work and returning home.
This may be the same for all office workers, but this treadmill-like daily routine is always arduous.
Physically difficult?
That’s the second problem.
A daily life where I have to repeat soullessly things that anyone, even if not me, can do.
Because that was the biggest hardship for Junwoo.
‘Why doesn’t time pass like this?’
That’s why Junwoo wanted to give meaning to his daily life after work.
This is exactly why he plays games.
Because ‘I’ in the game could exist as myself.
Unlike in reality, Junwoo in the game was superior to others.
Because he was a being who could do many things that others could not.
Game ‘Over the Fantasy’.
In other words, it was a special space where Junwoo could realize his self.
“You drafted the report, Assistant Manager Kim, right?”
“Yep, Chief. “It’s finished.”
“Thank you for your hard work. Now let’s let our team get off work.”
“Thank you for your hard work!”
Thanks to this, despite the hardships, Junwoo was able to gain strength again on his way home from work.
‘Kkaltoe gunnery success!’
Today in particular was a little more special day.
‘It’s six o’clock now… I’m sure a notice has been posted on the public website, right?’
Junwoo’s life game over the fantasy.
It was the first large-scale update for this godgame in three years.
“It’s up…! “It’s up!”
Junwoo’s eyes were sparkling more than usual after checking the update notice.
* * *
Over the Fantasy was a slightly unusual game.
It has more realistic technology than any other recently released virtual reality game.
It was the game with the lowest sales among the world-famous virtual reality games.
Is it because the technology is good and the game is not fun?
Some users say this, but Junwoo never thought that way.
Over the fantasy.
This game, called ‘Order Board’ for short, had all the big and small episodes, starting with the main quest, more exciting and realistic than any other game.
So, Junwoo thought that there were three reasons why sales on the order board were overwhelmingly low.
first. Because the BM (Business Model) is bad.
second. Because it’s not an MMORPG.
third. Because the game is too difficult.
Order Board was a game where there was little need to spend money once you started playing.
This means that, let alone the gacha system that can be found in any game these days, there are almost no means of purchasing in-game items by charging cash.
Except for convenience items, they were not sold for cash at all.
Of course, the order version package price is not cheap.
The package price was several times more expensive than other virtual reality games.
But at best, it’s around 1 million won.
Considering that other virtual reality game rankers are lavishing hundreds of millions of dollars, it could not have been an angelic BM (Business Model).
‘Those who have lost hundreds of dollars on gacha while playing other games end up not starting the order board because the package price is expensive.’
Moreover, users who spend a lot of money want to show off their power acquired through real money.
Maybe users who spend money on games are trying to buy a sense of superiority with money.
However, Order Board is a package game, not an MMORPG.
Common comments from users are that it is a game that feels like DiaX in single mode with a higher degree of freedom.
Of course, limited interaction between users was possible through a special space called the ‘Dimension Gap’.
However, like an MMORPG, it was not structured so that it could reign over numerous users within the worldview.
Additionally, it was difficult.
Order Board is a game where you have to become stronger only with skill, not with money.
In this game, you have to give cash to other users in the dimensional gap to buy good equipment, but if you are not good enough, you will only end up getting robbed by monsters and becoming penniless.
It was a very unfavorable game for wallet warriors.
So, from Junwoo’s perspective, the order board had a structure that could not be released until sales were made.
Of course, that’s why it was the best godgame for Junwoo.
‘God game. What makes me so excited about the update….’
Junwoo was, to put it mildly, the deadliest among the dead on the order board.
‘Thanks for the update, LB brothers. Please don’t ruin it.’
He cleared more episodes than any other user playing the Order Board.
He was the only one who had as many as seven max level characters.
Considering that users who usually call themselves stagnant water in the order board community only have 2 to 3 characters at max level, Junwoo is so stagnant that it can be said to be rotten water.
“As with the large-scale update, new classes have been created, right?”
Junwoo was a person with greater talent than anyone else in this game called the order board.
‘good. New class dual swordsman? I searched. It will run right to the top of the rankings over the weekend.’
Junwoo’s steps toward home began to get faster.
There was still plenty of time left until the update anyway, but there were things I needed to do by logging in as soon as possible.
That’s right….
‘It’s been a while since I finished organizing the warehouse.’
It was a matter of accessing the warehouse character, which was no different from Junwoo’s treasure trove.
‘It may be too late to organize all the items before the update.’
The reason why Junwoo wanted to organize the warehouse was simple.
The idea is to set up all the items needed to develop new characters before the update.
Although there is still insufficient information about the new class, the items needed to develop a new character are still set to some extent.
Junwoo was a man who was well-versed in the numerous types of items needed to overcome the early scenarios most efficiently.
Beep- beep beep beep!
Junwoo opened the door with lightning-like movements and entered the house. After washing and quickly changing clothes, he immediately entered the capsule and sat down.
Tiring-!
Next, a familiar system message appears before my eyes.
[User ‘Kim Jun-woo’ iris recognition completed.]
[Welcome to the world of Over the Fantasy.]
[Select the character you want to access.]
The list of characters that appeared before Jun-woo’s eyes along with the message was truly gorgeous. .
Numerous max-level characters wearing dazzling equipment and giving off a dazzling aura!
However, Junwoo passed by those flashy characters and chose the simple character in the most corner.
[You selected the character ‘D.O. (Lv10) / Class (none)’.]
Among all the level 500 characters, Junwoo was the only one who chose the unsightly character of level 10.
It was a neglected character that I decided to call Dio because there were only 5 days left until the D-day of a junior’s wedding, which I know was a very crude nickname.
[Start connecting to the world of ‘Over the Fantasy’.] The
level 10 character that Junwoo connected to was created solely to store items.
He was a so-called ‘warehouse character’ who didn’t even change jobs.
* * *
The second chapter of Over the Fantasy,
, was scheduled to be updated at exactly midnight.
So, considering that Junwoo arrived home at 7 o’clock, there was quite a bit of time left.
But even 5 hours was not enough for Junwoo.
Because Junwoo has never cleaned out the warehouse in the past year.
‘This is taking longer than I thought.’
Moreover, there are as many as five warehouses that Junwoo needs to organize.
In Over the Fantasy, there is a ‘base village’ for each field level, and each village is provided with one warehouse.
Still, now that we’ve visited four places, we’ll be roughly finished with just organizing the last remaining warehouse.
‘Ha, now only Evra village remains.’
Evra Village is a base village for middle-level players who are about level 100 to level 150.
[You have accessed the ‘dimensional gap.’]
To go there, Junwoo accessed the dimensional gap.
[Use the ‘Subspace Portal’.]
[You have paid 100 dimensional coins.]
[Go to ‘Evra Village’.]
Evra Village, a base for level 100 users, naturally has a level 10 ‘Dio’ character. It is a place that cannot be reached through ordinary means.
However, by using the ‘Dimension Gap’ and ‘Dimension Coin’, the only cash currency on the order board, you can travel to and from any village.
In fact, if it weren’t for this system, raising warehouse characters on the order board would have been meaningless.
‘Let’s see. There is an item to take from the Ebra village warehouse…’
Junwoo skillfully arrived at the village warehouse and immediately found the NPC.
The warehouse manager in Evra Village is an elderly NPC named ‘Tony’.
“Hehe Dio, it’s been a while since you came.”
“Yes, Grandpa Tony.”
“I guess you came to check out subspace, right?”
“sure.”
“Let’s see… The usage fee is 1 silver.”
“thank you.”
When he handed Tony 1 silver, a large warehouse inventory opened in front of Junwoo.
On the order board, warehouse usage fees are proportional to the character’s level.
This was also the reason why Junwoo’s warehouse character was level 10.
The higher the warehouse level, the higher the maintenance costs.
“Oh, I told you where I put the Lycan Kukri knife!”
Junwoo found the item he was looking for and put it in his inventory with a grumpy expression on his face.
Evra Village was the warehouse with the least number of items, so it was the last one we came to, but even so, there were a mountain of items to sort out.
‘Why didn’t I throw away these miscellaneous items and put them back?’
A warning system message saying that an update will begin soon rang out, but…
[Server maintenance for a large-scale update will begin in 15 minutes.]
[Adventurers, please log out in a safe place until maintenance begins. [I give it to you…]
Junwoo didn’t even pay attention to the message.
The base village, ‘Evra Village’, was one of the safest places on the order board.
‘Well, it’ll come out on its own when the time comes.’
If Jun-woo had been playing in a dangerous hunting ground, he would have returned to the village as soon as he saw the message… but
in the base village, there is not much risk even if he is forced to quit.
At least in my experience so far, it has always been like that.
[Server maintenance for a large-scale update will begin in 5 minutes.]
[Adventurers…]
So Junwoo was completely in a trance in the warehouse.
And that was…
crackling- crackling-
[System error.]
[No more messages can be sent.]
It was an irreparable mistake.
“hmm. “Have you chosen everything at this level?”
After finishing organizing the warehouse, Junwoo jumped up from his seat.
But the next moment.
“uh…?”
Junwoo began to feel an unidentifiable sense of discomfort.
‘Now that I think about it, why didn’t it bounce?’
Junwoo had clearly checked the message that there were 5 minutes left.
And no matter how hard I concentrated on organizing the warehouse, I could clearly see that much more than 5 minutes had passed.
‘Why has the inspection been postponed all of a sudden?’
Junwoo, who had an ominous feeling about something ominous, decided to log out and access the public homepage.
But the next moment.
Junwoo could not help but widen his eyes.
“uh? uh…?”
The logout button, which was always located at the top right of the system, had disappeared without anyone noticing.
