I Login Alone

Episode 59

Jung Si-woo had gotten rid of all the physical and mental fatigue, opening his eyes with a fresh feeling, but he soon realized that Soo Ah-rin was looking at him with a strange look.

“You didn’t sleep?”

“I slept, but I couldn’t sleep well.”

“Then you should sleep more.”

“I’m not in a position to be sleeping.”

Soo Ah-rin put aside her feelings and delivered the present situation objectively.

“Please excuse me, but I answered a call while you were asleep.”

“That’s fine.”

“It was a call from Lee Seo-hee.”

“What did she say?”

Jung Si-woo asked in a very ordinary way. Soo Ah-rin continued, feeling a little relieved by his attitude.

“She said that she found a way to become a player, and she wanted to let you know.”

“Underground player? Even a retired player like myself?”

“I asked her to let me know, but she hung up on me because she didn’t like the fact that I answered the phone. She said she wanted to talk to you personally.”

Jung Si-woo yawned and laughed.

“You’re so cute.”

“Is she your ex-girlfriend?”

“Yes, we broke up a long time ago. After she became a player.”

“…”

Soo Ah-rin was a player in the Soaring Tempest Guild. However, she didn’t know all the players in Korea. She was angry at the unexpected news.

“You mean she dumped you after she became a player? She wanted to meet a hot guy because her conditions have improved?”

In fact, this was quite common. Ever since the appearance of the Sky Castle, the players were treated as very privileged people, and their power and money and couldn’t be touched by the law. Players thought they didn’t get along with ordinary people. Even if they were dating, if either side would become a player, they’d break up. Soo Ah-rin despised that immensely.

“That’s not good.”

However, Jung Si-woo shook his head firmly.

“It was my fault. I felt inferior when I was with her.”

“Oh, I’m…sorry.”

“As you can see, I’m fine now. So never mind.”

If he were convinced that he was really special, he wasn’t supposed to think and act that way. He should have blessed and supported her, but he couldn’t do that. Even he knew it was pathetic.

“You’re a human being, too…”

“Did you think I was a monster all this time?”

He saved Soo Ah-rin, who was falling from the sky and trampled on a test dungeon full of werewolves even though he wasn’t a player. Soo Ah-rin snorted at Jung Si-woo’s words.

“Then are you going to meet her?”

“I hope it’s not something she just searched off the internet…?”

Perhaps Lee Seo-hee brought such news because she was a player. If it were information that ordinary people could access through the Internet, she would never have contacted Jung Si-woo. He searched the Internet on a trial basis, but the result was obvious. Then there was only one answer.

“Then we’ll meet her.”

“Well, yes.”

Soo Ah-rin was quite nervous. Looking at the current situation, Jung Si-woo dumped Lee Seo-hee in the past, and Lee Seo-hee seemed to have lingering feelings for Jung Si-woo, and the condition for why Jung Si-woo dumped Lee Seo-hee was gone…if the two of them met again in that situation, maybe…

‘Isn’t this a very dangerous situation?’

And he was her first love! No, it’s not love yet!

“That means we’ll have to go out, but I’m sure the exit’s still in the deep sea…do we really have to swim to land?”

However, Jung Si-woo was sighing and worrying about unnecessary things. He had no clue of Soo Ah-rin’s worries, and his calm made her feel like a fool.

“Se-ha, are you still sleeping?”

“I’m awake, Hyeong-nim.”

“Okay, come here. Ah-rin, you too.”

Jung Si-woo finally decided to go out to the sea. They couldn’t fight dungeons under the sea like this forever. No matter how deep their bodies were, even if there were monsters on the ocean floor, they could shake off the threat and head to the land! However, at the moment when he was determined, a message was engraved on his retina.

[You can invest in beads to strengthen your resting place.]

Come to think of it, even though the resting place was strengthened to level 4; he didn’t properly examine the changes of the resting place until now. This was because the news of Lee Seo-hee made him feel urgent. But wait a minute…

“Huh? I could strengthen the resting place to level 5?”

[It’s possible to consume 30% of the monster beads you have and level up your resting place to a 5. Would you like to strengthen it?]

“Well.”

He couldn’t even figure out why the resting place has grown to level four, but the number of beads needed to strengthen to level five was ridiculous. Thinking about what the reason might be, Jung Si-woo suddenly remembered that he had saved the beads from the dungeon as a result of not finding the altar.

“Frigging…”

“There’s nothing we can do about being late. What are you going to do?”

“Maybe it has something to do with the message in my head. Let’s do everything we can for now.”

His worries were short. Jung Si-woo immediately strengthened the resting place. It had been widened once again, now expanding to the size of an apartment.

“Uh, uhh.”

“Yong Se-ha, get out of there. The walls are rising.”

“Walls? Ugh!”

Walls and doors rose around the place where the bed had been placed, making it into a full-sized bedroom, and same with the bathroom, which used to be just the size of a shower booth. On one side, plausible kitchen facilities and tables were created. No one would question if this space were really a home or not anymore. Soo Ah-rin said in a proud voice.

“This place is becoming more and more home sweet home.”

“Even though it’s terrifying!”

[The resting place has grown to level 5.]

[The ability of all household items has been improved a little.]

[Kitchen Lv1 is added.]

[Kitchen Lv1 – Can cook. Can process monsters hearthstone.]

[You can level-up the drawers, refrigerators, doors, and navigator.]

[It is possible to create a training camp Lv1. The training camp allows you to train your body and skills without the risk of running out of force.]

Jung Si-woo asked quietly after carefully reading all the notifications that popped up.

“Can we level up all the furniture and build a training camp?”

[It can be generated by consuming 97% of the beads you hold.]

“Okay, that’s a close call.”

“It’s all thanks beads from bansy and the ghast!”

“Be quiet, Yong-se-ha.”

“Okay…”

Jung Si-woo immediately ordered the strengthening and production of the household items. Light soared everywhere, changing the furniture. And in the space that was empty, treadmills, sandbags, and walls rose just as they did when the bedrooms were created. The change didn’t take long. After transforming the space, all the remaining Mana gathered at the exit of the resting place. Naturally, information about the resting place after the change was completed popped up in Jung Si-woo’s eyes.

[Rest Place Lv5]

[Bed Lv2 – Can sleep. 20% increase in physical strength and magic power during rest. Gradually increases proficiency in all skills.]

[Drawer Lv2 – Can store items. Slowly restore the condition of the item.]

[Door Lv3 – Exiting door. You can use beads to enter the nearest dungeon. You can get the same result by using the key to the resting place. You can select to enter three places that you are familiar with.]

[Bathroom Lv1 – Bath available. Relieve weak poisons, curses, and other unclean energy left in the body.]

[Frozen Lv2 – Food storage available. 2 bottles every 10 hours, generating intermediate potions of random ability]

[Explorer Lv2 – enables navigation of dungeons within a 50-kilometer radius by consuming beads stored in the resting place. It is possible to navigate the path of intruders.]

[Kitchen Lv1 – Can cook. Can process monsters hearthstone.]

[Training camp Lv1 – Training facility. Things in here will never be destroyed.]

“Wow.”

Jung Si-woo smiled. Compared to the simple message when he first came to the resting place, he liked this much more. It was a perfect place for himself.

“Okay, let’s take a look at each one.”

“The function of the drawer is unique. I can’t believe it can restore things…”

“Are you talking about the repair function?”

Artifacts couldn’t be kept in perfect condition for thousands of years. There was a degree of durability in all of them. Even the gutter he carried around was destroyed after using it. Until now, there was no way to repair them, so he just carried them around. But now, he could put it in the drawer of the resting place to repair the artifact. He opened the drawer to see if there was enough storage space. Contrary to its appearance, the drawer was very spacious inside, space expansion magic on clear display. Jung Si-woo searched the inventory for something to experiment with but decided to take a rain check because all the artifacts were too strong.

Next was the refrigerator. Jung Si-woo had never relied on the original form, so he had never touched the refrigerator before, but he strengthened it while strengthening all the other things. He thought it was much better than before. Since upgrading to level 2, two bottles every 10 hours of intermediate level and random ability…the problem was that the ability of the intermediate-level potions had yet to be determined.

“Since it’s already like this, let’s take back all the lower-level potion we’ve created.”

Jung Si-woo opened the refrigerator door, expecting that the potions would be piled up in the refrigerator because he had never touched it. But he only found 20 bottles of low-grade potions inside. It was one bottle every 10 hours when the refrigerator was at level 1, so it had only been a little over 200 hours, or eight days. Jung Si-woo, who had spent a tiring few days in the dungeon, finally recovered the potion and realized that it hadn’t been that long.

“I’m a genius. I’ve grown so strong in just eight days.”

“You’re a jerk. It’s even more annoying that I can’t deny it.”

“Hyeong-nim, I don’t think it’s just a recovery potion.”

Yong Se-ha looked at the potions as he spoke. Jung Si-woo, who was admiring the color arrangement by looking at the fitness potion with red liquid and the mana potion foam with blue liquid, tilted his head and accepted the bottle he offered. A message popped up.

[Lower Addiction Potion – Odorless Poison. Those who are not resistant to poison will be paralyzed if they drink even a little bit of this potion.]

“They’re trying to kill somebody…”

“Uh, Hyeong-nim…look at these.”

“Huh?”

There was a sky blue potion that seemed to be covered with thin ice because it had been in the refrigerator for a while, and there was another potion that was swirling with red energy as if it would burst right away. He took it from the trembling hands of Yong Se-ha and confirmed it.

[Lower Ice Flake Potion – Contains the magic liquid of ice. If you throw it and break it, things within the range of the potion will freeze.]

[Lower Explosion Potion – Bottle containing liquid concentrating explosive Mana. The moment it comes out of the bottle, it causes an explosion within its range.]

“…”

Jung Si-woo quietly and quickly put them into his inventory. It was the creation of a bomb.
