Transcendent Warrior with a Dimensional Shifting Inventory

＜Red-furred hyena discovered.＞

It looked like the African hyenas I’d seen on TV, but it had red fur growing from the top of its head to its tail.

And it was as big as a bull.

There were about 10 of them.

＜You can earn 30 seconds of return time by killing the red-furred hyena.＞

Kyaaack-

The one closest to him let out a strange cry and lunged at Minhyuk.

It was huge, but it moved incredibly fast.

Minhyuk calmly raised his dagger.

Swish-

In an instant, the beast’s fangs were right next to Minhyuk’s neck.

Minhyuk waited until the very last moment, then twisted his body out of the way.

He dodged the hyena’s attack and stabbed the dagger he had been holding into the top of its head.

Thud-

The blade pierced the hyena’s skull and tore into its brain.

Thud-

It died instantly and collapsed.

Then the others attacked him all at once.

Thud-

Swish-swish-

Minhyuk’s dagger moved without pause.

One had its forehead pierced by the dagger,

another had its spine severed,

and another had its eyeball gouged out.

Some died instantly, while others took two or three hits to kill.

Fast learner, Min-hyuk was not the same as he was yesterday.

Having hunted countless vipers, he naturally acquired a knack for swordsmanship.

And even though he had only learned for a day, the swordsmanship lessons also helped.

He wielded the sword flexibly, using not only his arms and shoulders but also the muscles of his entire body.

Swish—

Swish, swish—

Min-hyuk continued to swing his sword.

Every time he killed one of them, a message appeared before his eyes.

＜Red-maned hyena slain. 30 seconds of return time has been accumulated as a reward.＞

＜Red-maned hyena slain. 30 seconds of return time has been accumulated as a reward.＞

.

.

The bodies of hyenas piled up in the clearing in the forest.

In the end, he killed all 10 of them, accumulating 5 minutes of return time.

＜Return time in possession: 35 minutes 23 seconds＞

Min-hyuk checked the blade of the Dwarven Dagger.

Despite the fact that the hide and bones of the hyenas were much tougher than the scales of the vipers, the blade was intact.

‘This might actually be useful?’

He wondered what the Dwarven Dagger would turn into if he put it in the refrigerator.

If it turned into something cheap and easy to obtain, he thought about buying a large quantity of Dwarven Daggers and selling them to make gold.

If he gave every soldier in the expedition one Dwarven Dagger, all the money would go into Min-hyuk’s pocket.

Perhaps it could be a profitable product that would bring in even more profit than potions.

“Inventory.”

Poof—

A refrigerator appeared before his eyes.

‘Is it too long to fit?’

Just as one cannot put an elephant in a refrigerator, there are size constraints on items that can be put in a refrigerator.

The Dwarven Dagger was about 40 cm long from the tip of the blade to the end of the hilt.

Fortunately, it fit just barely.

He would not be able to put anything longer than this in the refrigerator.

If he removed all the shelves in the refrigerator, he could put something longer in it at an angle, but something like a greatsword or a spear would be impossible.

“Return.”

Poof—

With a flash, Min-hyuk entered his studio room.

He opened the refrigerator door first to check inside.

There was a roller inside.

A paint roller used to paint walls.

The Dwarven Dagger had become a paint roller.

I had to go to a hardware store to buy a paint roller.

Or maybe a hypermarket would have them too.

But I’m not going to buy a paint roller right now.

There’s no need to hurry since it’s still too early to organize a hunting party.

The one I have now is enough for hunting.

‘Let’s go back.’

Minhyuk put his hand on the refrigerator and chanted the spell.

“Return.”

BAM-

With a dazzling flash of light, I returned to the clearing in the forest.

Taking out the dagger from the refrigerator, I thought,

‘Isn’t there a way to put in something really big?’

As if in response to Minhyuk’s question, a message popped up before his eyes.

＜You can increase the capacity of your inventory by meeting special conditions.＞

Increase the capacity of the inventory? Does that mean the refrigerator will become bigger?

If it was as big as the commercial refrigerators used in restaurants or butcher shops, I’d be able to put in not only longswords and spears but also several sets of armor.

But there was something else I was curious about regarding the refrigerator.

Most of the items I had put in the refrigerator so far had changed into other items of similar size.

Just like how various potions had changed into eggs, oranges, and yogurt.

But there were exceptions.

The most notable example was gold coins.

The gold coins had changed into a bundle of 50,000 won bills.

Its volume had increased dozens of times.

What would happen if I filled the refrigerator with gold coins and went back to the real world?

Would the refrigerator burst because its volume had increased?

Or would I be restricted from putting in more gold coins than the appropriate amount in the first place?

Anyway, I’ll check that later when I’ve earned a lot of gold coins,

and for now, let’s focus on hunting.

Kyaaak-

I heard the cry of a beast behind me.

I turned around and saw another hyena approaching me.

But it was much smaller than the ones I had fought earlier.

＜Crimson-furred Hyena (Boss) discovered.＞

It’s small, but it’s a boss, so it must have some special skills.

＜Defeating the Crimson-furred Hyena (Boss) will earn you 1 minute of return time.＞

＜Defeating the Crimson-furred Hyena (Boss) will earn you a magic bead.＞

If I killed it, I would not only get more return time but also a magic bead as a reward.

Kyaaak-

It bared its fangs and lunged at me.

Minhyuk waited for it to come closer while raising his dagger.

But then, more information about the monster appeared.

＜Red Mane Hyena (Boss) uses fire.＞

As soon as Min-hyuk checked the message, he retreated at full speed and dodged it from a distance.

Flames erupted from the hyena’s mouth.

The range and firepower of the flames were enormous.

It was comparable to the power of a flamethrower seen in movies.

If it weren’t for the message, he would have been burned because he wouldn’t have been able to dodge it in time.

The monster continued to breathe fire.

Min-hyuk dodged the flames and observed the monster’s fire-breathing pattern.

It breathed fire for about 3 seconds at a time, and after breathing fire 5 times in a row, it stopped attacking for a while.

That timing was an opportunity to approach the monster.

‘Now!’

Taking advantage of the short gap when the monster stopped attacking, Min-hyuk boldly approached it.

And he thrust the dwarf dagger deep into the nape of its neck.

Thud-

The monster collapsed on the ground.

＜Red Mane Hyena (Boss) has been defeated. As a reward, 1 minute of return time will be accumulated.＞

Min-hyuk saw information floating on the hyena’s chest.

＜Small Low-Grade Magic Bead＞

-A bead in which magic power is concentrated.

-Magic power can be infused into magic tools using the bead.

Snap-

He split open the hyena’s chest with the dagger.

Next to its heart was a blue bead emitting light.

Min-hyuk pulled it out.

It was only the size of a fist.

‘Can I use this to charge magic tools with magic power?’

It suddenly occurred to him that Teidon’s heart might be something similar to this.

He re-entered the boundary of the castle.

However, no other prey appeared for a long time.

Hmm-

Min-hyuk pondered.

Should he hunt the monsters that caught his eye while returning to the fortress, or should he go deeper into the forest?

Rustle-

Rustle-

He moved deeper into the forest, cutting through the thickets.

Then he found a small den hidden in the grass.

It was just wide and tall enough for a person to crawl into.

Hesitating whether to go inside,

Kweeek-

The sound of a beast howling was heard.

Minhyuk turned his head towards the sound.

Puddeok-

A giant duck flapping its wings appeared.

It wasn’t just big, it was incredibly huge.

The bastard was taller than the giraffe he had seen at the zoo.

＜Discovered Giant Duck.＞

＜Defeating the Giant Duck will grant you 3 minutes of return time.＞

＜Defeating the Giant Duck will grant you a Mana Orb.＞

＜The Giant Duck uses flames.＞

＜The Giant Duck uses feather arrows.＞

Hwarur-

The duck breathed fire at Minhyuk.

The firepower was much stronger than the hyena leader’s.

And it wasn’t just breathing fire.

Puddeok-

Every time it flapped its wings, feathers like metal blades flew towards Minhyuk.

They were much more powerful than the arrows the goblins fired, and there were more of them.

Kang-

Kang-kang-

Minhyuk swung his dagger to block the feathers.

Hwarur-

Blue flames and fluttering feathers.

There was no way he could hold on like this.

‘Let’s get out of here!’

He decided to run away for now, vowing to come back later with functional armor that could block the flames and take revenge.

But even that wasn’t easy.

The duck’s movement speed was incredible.

In the end, there was only one way for Minhyuk to escape the crisis.

He threw his body into a narrow hole he had found in the bushes.

The height of the cave was so low that he could barely stand upright, so he crawled in awkwardly.

It was funny, but he was relieved that the duck couldn’t follow him anymore.

It would be great if he could keep going this way and reach another exit.

The deeper he went into the cave, the larger the space became.

At some point, he was able to stand up straight and walk.

Gulp-

Minhyuk drank the one remaining pink intermediate potion.

Then he could see clearly in the darkness.

Going deeper into the cave, I found something lying on the ground.

It was a skeleton.

The skeleton was wearing armor.

It was leather armor reinforced with metal plates.

Crack-

The leather part of the armor crumbled at the slightest touch, showing how old it was.

Information about the armor appeared before Minhyuk’s eyes.

＜Flame Barrier of the Wanderer＞

– Armor made with techniques that are now obsolete.

– Made from the leather of lizards inhabiting volcanic regions and Dwarf ingots.

– Blocks some fire attacks.

– Blocks some physical attacks.

– The armor has magical effects.

– When worn, agility increases.

– Automatically equips and unequips.

– Automatically repairs.

It was incredible armor on a whole other level compared to the armor I had seen in the Imperial Palace.

Not only did it block fire and physical attacks, but it also had mysterious magical effects.

The biggest reason Minhyuk was reluctant to wear armor was that it slowed down his movements.

But if I wore this, my agility would actually increase.

‘How is that possible?’

In addition, while normal armor was difficult to put on and take off by oneself, this had an automatic equip and unequip function.

Would it be put on automatically like the Iron Man suit?

And finally, the most important thing.

‘Automatic repair.’

The armor also had a magical effect that automatically repaired it if it was damaged.

However, the armor’s magic power was currently depleted, so the effect was not working.

If only I could recharge the armor’s magic power…

Minhyuk took out the magic bead he had obtained after killing the hyena leader.

The magic bead could be used to infuse magic into magic tools.

＜To activate the automatic repair effect, 2 small low-grade magic beads are required.＞

One bead wasn’t enough to repair the armor.

“Inventory.”

Pop-

A refrigerator appeared before his eyes.

Minhyuk put the bead in the refrigerator.

Once I get my hands on something cheap and easy to obtain, I’ll repair the armor right away.

And I’ll wear it and go out and crush that damn duckling.

“Return.”

Pop-

With a flash, he returned to his studio room.

He opened the refrigerator and checked inside.

‘Nice!’

Minhyuk’s mouth curled up into a smile.

Inside the refrigerator was a can of pressed ham.

The small, low-grade magic stone was a can of ham.

The reason Minhyuk was so happy was that he already had several cans of ham.

Creak-

He lowered the flat box that had been placed on top of the wardrobe.

＜Spam Gift Set No. 1＞

When he opened the box, there were several cans of ham inside.

The factory Minhyuk worked at gave ham gift sets like this every holiday.

He had secretly been resentful because a factory nearby sometimes gave sets of Korean beef ribs or ginseng, but now he was feeling very grateful.

‘My factory is the best!’

Minhyuk put all the cans of ham in the refrigerator.
