[Episode 01] Absolutes everywhere (2)

slurp-

Freshly cooked, curly noodles were sucked vigorously into her mouth.

Perhaps because it was boiled with less water, the intense taste of the ramen soup stimulated my tongue.

When I put the half-boiled egg yolk in my mouth, it was a perfect harmony.

After emptying the noodles clean, I put the rice I just made into the remaining soup and rolled it up and ate it.

“Whoa.”

My stomach felt like it was going to explode after eating ramen and rice.

“Hmm.”

It was just before that I blushed from my parents’ worries, but seeing myself filling my stomach like this, I felt a bit embarrassed.

‘Did I eat too well…’

After filling my stomach, I dipped the dishes in the water and approached the living room window again.

[The absolute person in each corner cannot leave the corner.]

‘I can’t do that either.’

I wanted to check it out, but it was the same.

‘Even though the skill level has increased, I can’t go outside yet.’

Still, it wasn’t completely hopeless.

‘I saw the possibility.’

The skill level goes up by killing monsters.

As the skill level rose, new skills were created.

‘If you raise the level, you might get a kind of skill that will allow you to go outside.’

So there was one thing I had to aim for now.

‘Raising the skill level by hunting monsters.’

But there was one very big problem with this.

‘But how do I hunt monsters if I can’t go outside?’

In order to level up, you have to hunt monsters, but those monsters were all roaming around outside.

Being confined to a corner of the house, I had to be very limited in how I could hunt monsters.

‘It’s hard to expect the same luck as before.’

It was all luck that I was able to catch a monster bird named Kelican.

It could be said that I was really lucky that I was able to stun him thanks to the proclamation skill at every corner, and that the goblins cut off the life of the fallen man.

There was no way something like that would ever happen again.

‘I think I can catch the goblins if I do my best.’

It wasn’t particularly great.

[The absolute person in each corner cannot leave the corner.]

As you can see, if I reach out my hand just a little bit out of the living room window, an invisible wall blocks my body.

But this only pushes ‘me’ away.

I threw out the clump of toilet paper I was holding in my other hand.

The toilet paper passed by the side where my palm was touching and fell outside.

‘Okay, it works.’

It happened that this place was on the 30th floor, the top floor of the apartment.

Besides, the goblins couldn’t help it even after quite a while, probably because the remains of Kelican’s body were too heavy.

Kelican’s corpse was acting as the perfect decoy.

If it was moderately heavy, it could be used as a weapon, and if it could hit the head, it would be able to kill a goblin with one shot.

‘This should be enough.’

Dumbbells 3 kg.

It was something my mother bought for me, asking how to exercise even a little.

Of course, the number of times I’ve used this has been counted on one hand.

I’ve worn it a few times, so it’s hard to say I’ve used it.

But I never thought I would use it like this.

‘Thank you, Mom.’

The problem was the number of dumbbells.

‘Only two…’

At best, the only limit was to catch two goblins.

‘Can I do it?’

As I was thinking about holding the dumbbell, I saw the goblins carrying the remains of Kelican’s body.

More goblins than before clung to Kelican’s corpse.

Even though he whimpered, Kelican’s corpse was slowly moving.

‘this.’

The goblins were leaving.

‘I can’t miss this moment!’

I’ve been observing them for the past few days, but it’s the first time I’ve seen them in such large numbers.

It all happened thanks to Kelican’s corpse.

‘Right!’

Whiik!

The dumbbell thrown out the window fell at a frightening speed.

And.

Quick!

“Keeck!”

“Keck!”

Where the dumbbell hit, blood splattered with the bloody sound of bones being smashed.

‘···ruined.’

But it wasn’t the goblin’s head that the dumbbell hit.

It landed on Kelican’s head.

It’s gone completely wrong.

‘Now there’s only one left.’

It was hopeless.

There were still items left to throw and catch the goblins.

I had a computer and a TV left.

However, it was too wasteful to use these to catch goblins.

When I think about it rationally, I know that these are things that I don’t need at all.

but.

‘How much does this cost…’

It was the realm of emotions.

Maybe it’s not that desperate yet.

‘Besides, I don’t think I can throw a TV or a computer with my own strength.’

At best, it would have been enough to push it out of a window, but that alone wouldn’t reach the goblins.

‘This is perfect.’

In fact, didn’t the dumbbell fly right near where the goblins were?

I missed it though.

‘Are there any more?’

I searched the house prayerfully, but no dumbbells were found.

Well, even if I were a mother, I wouldn’t have bought more dumbbells for someone like me.

If you don’t use it once, why would you buy it?

It’s just throwing money away.

‘The goblins didn’t leave then, right?’

I peeked my head out of the living room window and checked the goblins’ condition.

By the way.

Eyes met with the goblins.

‘Damn it!’

The goblin on top of Kelican’s head was holding a dumbbell I’d thrown in one hand, and he was pointing his finger at me.

“Kegeg!”

“Keew!”

The goblins started pointing at me and giving me a fucking glow.

Apparently, he realized that it was me who threw the dumbbell.

They left Kelican’s corpse behind and piled into my apartment building.

‘Am I going up?’

The lower floors of the apartment were already occupied by them.

Seeing as they were dragging Kelican’s corpse into the apartment in the first place, it seemed that they had made the lower floor of the apartment a nest.

“Keeck! Kyaaagh!”

“Ke Ge Ge Ge!”

As proof, dozens of goblins poured out from there.

Then he started shouting at the upper floor where I was, as if protesting.

More goblins were gathered in a much closer area than before.

‘Shall we throw the TV? I think I can kill several in one shot now. If only a new skill function is unlocked… uh?’

Then, I suddenly remembered one thing.

“ah!”

Suddenly electricity and gas came on, and there was one skill that I hadn’t checked because I was distracted.

Everywhere Absolute Shop Lv. One

– Items registered in the store can be purchased at regular prices.

A shop skill that opened along with the Dignity Maintenance skill.

“Shop open.”

The moment I spit out the command, a new window appeared in front of me.

[A shop of absolutes in every corner]

(Please register the item.)

ᚠAmount held: KRW 2,203,239

▶Item registration

‘If you look at the amount you have, it seems to be linked to the wallet skill of the absolute.’

It looked empty as there were no registered items yet.

I said, holding a dumbbell in one hand to the shop window.

“Registration of Goods.”

[Do you want to register the item?]

“yes.”

Then, light emanated from the shop window and scanned the dumbbell I was holding.

[Registration of Classic Nonslip Dumbbell 3kg has been completed.]

At the same time, a new item appeared along with a picture of a familiar dumbbell in the empty shop window.

[A shop of absolutes in every corner]

Classic Nonslip Dumbbell 3kg (16,990 KRW)

ᚠAmount held: KRW 2,203,239

▶Item registration

‘It’s the same price as the one I bought at Coupong.’

The market seemed to be the same as before the world was destroyed.

‘The one I bought from Coupong was one set for two.’

Coincidentally, two dumbbells were placed crossed in the photo that appeared in the shop window.

“Buy classic non-slip dumbbells.”

[Do you really want to buy?]

[Yes No]

“Yes.”

The moment you decide to buy dumbbells.

Jinglang!

With the sound of coins jingling, shop windows began pouring light toward the living room floor.

Gyying

There, two dumbbells were being made that looked exactly like the ones I was holding in my hands.

‘done!’

He carefully put down the dumbbell he was holding in his hand and lifted the new dumbbell.

‘Good weight.’

The texture and weight in the hand are all exactly the same as the original.

‘great.’

Without hesitation, I threw it out the window.

And.

Kwajik!

[You have hunted Goblins (Lv. 7).]

[Acquire experience points.]

[3,345 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]

“Yes!”

I was able to hit it with one shot, probably because the goblins were gathered right below me.

“Keeck!”

“Kek kek!!”

“Kaaagh!”

When the goblin died, there was a great uproar underneath.

I threw the dumbbells at them once more.

This time, as soon as they saw the dumbbell, the goblins scattered in confusion.

Wow!

Thanks to this, the dumbbell hit the ground and made a loud noise.

“Cabi.”

I missed it, but there was no need to regret it.

“Buy 3 sets of classic non-slip dumbbells.”

Gyying

Now, as long as it’s dumbbells, I can supply and receive them.

Whiik Bakak!

[You have hunted Goblins (Lv. 6).]

[Acquire experience points.]

[2,512 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]

That was when the second hunt was successful.

[Skill level has increased.]

[You have learned a new skill.]

‘nice!’

I was a little worried because the level of the goblins was low, but I was able to level up faster than I thought.

‘Perhaps it’s because of the experience gained from killing Kelican.’

Kelican’s level was a whopping level 23.

It was possible enough if the experience gained from killing him had been filled up to the point of leveling up.

I immediately checked the newly acquired skill.

Every corner of the Absolute’s Warehouse Lv. One

– It is a sub-space to store items.

The moment I saw the skill name, I couldn’t help but be a little disappointed.

‘Is it a warehouse this time?’

I could intuitively know what kind of skill it was just by looking at the description.

“The warehouse is open.”

Tring!

What appeared with a cheerful notification sound was a window similar to a shop window.

I just put one of the dumbbells I had left over there.

[Would you like to keep it in the warehouse?]

“yes.”

Gyying

A light similar to the light pouring from the shop window poured toward the dumbbell, and the weight of the dumbbell in my hand faded and then disappeared like a mirage.

【The warehouse of absolutes in every corner of the house】

Classic Nonslip Dumbbells 3kg (1)

After confirming that the dumbbells were in the warehouse, I opened my mouth while looking into the air.

“Summon dumbbells.”

Gyying

The light from the storage room, as if it were natural, headed for the empty space I was staring at, and soon a dumbbell appeared from there.

Took!

I snatched up a dumbbell that had been born out of thin air and smiled in repentance.

‘do.’

It was possible to summon items from the warehouse where I wanted.

‘then.’

Putting the dumbbells in my hand into storage once again, I sprinted closer to the living room window. And stretched out his hand out the window.

[The absolute person in each corner cannot leave the corner.]

Confirming that a notification window appeared while being blocked by a transparent wall, I carefully observed the location of the goblins gathered below.

Then, he stared into the air about 3m away beyond the transparent wall and said.

“Summon dumbbells.”

Gyying

In the warehouse, the light shot exactly where I wanted it, and a dumbbell appeared out of thin air.

The dumbbell that appeared in the air fell at high speed due to gravity.

Kwajik!

The head of one goblin hit by the dumbbell was smashed, and a system message was output along with a cheerful sound.

[You have hunted Goblins (Lv. 6).]

[Acquire experience points.]

[2,733 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute person in every corner.]
