Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 61

Episode 61:

There was clearly no pretense of popularity.

Is it because we focused too much on the murals and systems?

Even so, if it’s someone who doesn’t notice enough to get this close…

“Are you one of the Seven Stars?”

Considering where this place was, Dio could easily guess who was talking to him.

Moreover, there was no hint of hostility in his voice, so Dio confidently turned around.

“You’re not surprised.”

“Are you talking to me with the intention of surprising me?”

“About half.”

Dio looked closely at the face of the person who playfully responded to his words.

His face smiling all the time.

The pure white skin that looked like it had been powdered gave the impression of a humorous clown.

‘It’s hard to read your expression.’

It seemed the lightest among the seven stars I had ever met, but that made it hard to tell.

“Nice to meet you. I am Kalfael. “He claims to be the manager of the murals here.”

Diririn~

Kalfael revealed his name and flicked the lute he was holding in his hand.

Due to his unexpected behavior, Dio tried to find a person named Kalphael in his memories.

I would definitely remember an NPC with characteristics like a clown.

However, seeing as he couldn’t remember no matter how hard he tried, Dio decided that Kalphael was the first person he had encountered.

“This is Dio.”

As this was his first encounter with the person in question, Dio nodded slightly without letting his guard down.

“Do you have a favorite song? “It’s fate that we met like this, so I’ll pick a song for you.”

Kalfael, heedless of Dio’s warnings, began to tune the lute’s melody.

“No, that’s later…what about being the manager of the mural?”

“It’s literally about managing and protecting this place.”

“Is this a place I shouldn’t enter?”

“It can’t be. “Dio, who holds the key, is the only one who can open this sealed door.”

Kalfael grinned and pointed to the keyhole that Dio had been trying to look closely at just a moment ago.

“The key…can you elaborate on it?”

“Rather than let me explain, how about you see it for yourself?”

“Seeing it?”

Dio, who did not understand Kalphael’s words, asked about this.

However, Kapael did not respond to his words and just started playing the lute with a smile on his face.

-After a thousand years, the key comes.

-The blood of the key will find the forgotten past.

Although he could have been impressed by the excellent voice, Dio frowned when he heard the content contained in the song.

‘I know this is a door… but if I’m the key, does that mean it opens with blood?’

Dio turned his back to Kaphael and took another close look at the key-shaped groove.

The groove was large enough to fit the palm of one’s hand, and inside it was not a typical locking structure, but a square pyramid-shaped device.

‘It seems like they are openly asking me to draw blood.’

Dio placed his hand on the key slot and glanced at Kaphael.

Seeing Kaphael not doing anything to stop Dio, he made up his mind and held out his palm to the sharp square pyramid.

Tingling –

Dio quickly pulled his hand out, feeling pain that felt like an electric current was flowing.

However, it only took a moment for Dio’s blood, which had already been stamped on the square pyramid, to spread throughout the key groove.

But nothing else happened.

“hey? What is this….”

Then something started to move.

Clunk-clack-clack-

The keyway slowly began to open with a sound as if a complex mechanism was running.

As

the wall began to move like

a

puzzle, Dio was startled and stepped back.

Push-i-ik- Boom!

At some point, the wall where the keyway was located created a large arch-shaped door, and only after making a loud noise did the movement stop.

“This can’t be right!”

Until now, Dio has tried to appear as calm as possible in front of others.

Because agitated emotions can be a weakness.

But now Dio had no power to hide his emotions.

‘Why is that here?’

A portal visible beyond the door created by the wall.

Dio wasn’t just surprised by the portal.

In the world of Order Board, a good wizard can create a portal that can travel long distances at any time.

What surprised Dio was the type of portal.

The portals created by ordinary wizards are a condensation of blue light.

The more powerful the archmage, the darker the blue color, and the greater the distance he can travel in an instant.

However, you cannot escape the continent through the blue portal.

Anyway, the blue portal was created ‘artificially’ by someone using mana.

However, the portal in front of me now did not have a blue glow.

Pure white light like a blank sheet of paper.

No person on the Order Board can create that white light portal.

That’s because the white light portal is only for players heading to the ‘dimensional gap’.

A dimensional gap.

The only place where players can spend their own currency, Dimension Coins.

A place where you can use common portal functions using coins and connect with reality, such as by phone or email.

Its mere existence was enough to give Dio a reason to be surprised.

“Hmm hmm.”

Kalfael hummed with a quite flushed expression at Dio’s reaction.

“…Where does this door lead?”

Dio asked Kalphael because it might be different from the dimensional gap he knew.

“well. “I think Dio knows more about that than I do.”

Dio became even more alert at Kalfael’s meaningful words.

‘What do you know? ‘That I’m a player?’

Dio erased the excessive speculation from his mind.

Even with seven stars, that was impossible.

Recognizing that he was a player was like saying he was aware of the existence of the system.

That realm surpasses God.

So, it is the domain of game operators.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“is it so? “It was definitely a reaction at first as if I knew something.”

Kalfael slowly approached Dio, who pretended not to notice.

“I was just surprised that there was a portal in a space like this. Anyway, Kalfael, you don’t know where this door leads?”

“Hmm…”

Kalphael opened his mouth at Dio’s words without erasing his suspicion.

“I don’t know either. “In the first place, the seven stars, including me, do not have the ‘right’ to go through that door.”

“….”

“But Dio is different. “Since you opened that door and proved that you are the key, Dio, you are qualified.”

After hearing Kalphael’s words, Dio looked silently at the portal, which was presumed to be a dimensional gap.

‘Is it perhaps a trap? It’s so suspicious…Why is the gap in the missing dimension here?’

Dio remembered that the moment he realized he was trapped in the game was a ‘dimensional gap’ that disappeared.

A place where ‘multiplayer’ is possible for the player’s convenience and unique interaction with other players.

A place that unconditionally exists in a base town or city in order to avoid confusing reality with the game.

That is the dimensional gap.

‘No matter how much I think about it, I feel anxious. I need to find out a little more about this and see if I can get into it. To the seven stars other than Kalphael….’

If it weren’t an ordinary incident, Dio wouldn’t have to worry like this.

However, the existence of a dimensional gap is not something that Dio can easily think about.

“I’m reluctant to go through the portal without knowing where it will lead. “I’ll do it later…”

The moment Dio said to Kalfael and was about to take a step back.

“If it’s Dio, it’ll be okay.”

Tuk-

“Ugh-!?”

Dio was unable to react to Carletto’s sudden action of pushing him away with a bright smile.

Chin-

Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

?

Dio’s foot caught on the crack in the door, and it was an instant before the dazzling light coming from the portal engulfed him.

* * *

Pitch-black darkness.

Dio felt the darkness was familiar now.

A blank background that appears whenever you do something.

Because it was an experience he had already had in his dreams several times, rather than feeling fear of the dark, Dio expressed his anger toward Carletto who had pushed him.

‘Isn’t he completely crazy?’

I didn’t know that Carletto would push me away.

But Dio soon calmed down and began to think about his intentions.

‘Is this what you mean by seeing it in person rather than explaining it in words? Damn it. What should I see?’

Dio grunted and waited for his eyes to become familiar with the darkness.

‘What is this place anyway? ‘It’s not the dimensional gap I knew?’

I made a quick decision in the current situation with clear consciousness.

The dimensional gap is not such a pitch-black place.

Above all, if there is a dimensional gap, there is a vending machine where you can use coins.

So is it a dream?

No, it feels like a dream, but it has a different sense of reality than before.

‘Is it really a trap? ‘Is it an eternal prison or something?’

Dio realized that he was standing upright and took a comfortable posture.

I’m assuming the worst and thinking about how to get out of here.

Faaaa –

Dio frowned at the sudden light.

Eventually, the space slowly appeared in Dio’s narrowed field of vision.

“here is…?”

Dio was startled by the beautiful flower field beneath his feet.

An endless flower field under the dazzling sunlight.

Dio could not keep his mouth shut at the magnificent flower garden he had seen for the first time in his life.

Dio, who had been captivated by its beauty, belatedly discovered a temple and slowly walked towards it.

A small temple that appears to be made of pure white marble.

The temple was also decorated with stems of flowers.

It didn’t seem like a trap. Dio erased his thoughts about Carletto and slowly approached the temple.

The wind blowing gently.

The flowers were swaying in the wind as if they were dancing.

‘I don’t know what to do here…’

Dio stopped in front of a flower blooming in front of the temple altar and looked around.

At the moment when Dio was struggling and had no idea what to do, a voice rang in Dio’s ears.

[Can you hear me?]

“!!”

Dio hurriedly looked around to find the owner of the voice he heard.

But still, all he could see were flowers.

“…I’m listening.”

Dio, whose nerves had become extremely sharp, cautiously opened his mouth.

[Nice to meet you. One who crosses dimensions.]

Dio’s eyes opened wide.

The owner of the voice clearly knows that he is from another dimension.

Of course, noticing that you have crossed dimensions does not mean that you know the concept of ‘player’.

However, in the world of Order Board, those who recognize that players are beings from another dimension.

Players, including Dio, call them ‘gods’.

Damn Dio asked, trying to be sure of his thoughts.

“Who are you?”

[A god who is now forgotten, but once existed.]

A voice that immediately responds to Dio’s question.

[I am the goddess of the sun. This is Solari.]
