Chapter 2 – Episode 2. Door of Rest
I felt my mind flash.
Yeah, it wasn’t the time to be like this. It must be a mayhem outside now with monsters.
I ran to the entrance of the pc room and looked down the stairs.
You can feel the presence of something coming up along with the sound of ‘Kreuk Kreuk’.
Probably the same guys as the three green monsters that came before.
‘If you stay still, you will only die. Have to fight But how should I fight? How did Sungman fight? Oh, I fought with a cleaver. Yes, I need a weapon!’
I quickly closed the door and looked around.
A few short daggers can be seen among the corpses of the dead monsters that came up ahead.
‘This one is too short… But it’s no different from a kitchen knife. Wouldn’t there be a slightly longer weapon? Fighting alongside monsters like that is scary…’
Looking around, I noticed two floor-cleaning rags.
‘If this…! It’ll be pretty useful.’
“Seo Ji-soo! Go get the box tape!”
I shouted at Jisoo and immediately separated the mop part from the rod.
At that time,
Quaang
There was a knock on the locked glass door.
I could feel my heart getting more and more urgent.
“Tape! Bring it quickly!”
There was no news for a long time, so I ran to the office and found Jisoo wandering in front of me without opening the drawer.
“Such a fool… Get out of the way!”
I pushed Jisu to one side and took out the box tape.
The handle of the dagger was overlapped on the side of the burlap rod and wrapped around it with tape.
After wrapping the tape several times, it didn’t look like something that was pretty sturdy would come off easily.
Although crude, a spear with sufficient killing power was created.
The sound of knocking on the glass door seems unusual.
I picked up another dagger from the floor and put it in Jisoo’s hand.
“Hold this and stand still here. If you tell me to fight, then I will fight. Got it?”
After putting Jisoo up in front of the PC room entrance, I went to the potted plant right next to the door and hid myself.
Eventually, the hinge of the PC door fell off and fell inside.
The door slamming the floor with a roar,
“Hook!!”
There was a whooping sound coming from outside the door, followed by something flying inside.
It flew off and stuck in the left chest of Jisoo standing in front of the entrance.
And two little figures coming inside.
The same guys as the green monsters that first attacked this place came in with short daggers in their hands.
When Jisoo, who had been hit by the poison needle, stood still without collapsing, they slowly approached Jisoo, tilting their heads as if wondering.
Since all the nerves are focused on Ji-soo, I am hiding next to the flowerpot and cannot find it.
I stabbed the green monster behind me with the spear I was holding and shouted to Jisoo.
“Fight!!”
Fu-wook
“Keew!!”
The spear I threw was stuck in the back of the green monster with an unpleasant sensation.
Fearing that they would turn around and attack me, I pushed the spear forward with all my strength.
And
My commanded exponent grabbed a dagger and started attacking the green monster.
I fought back wielding the dagger the green monster was holding,
Fu-wook
Jisoo’s dagger that pierces the monster’s chest.
Of course, in return, Jisoo’s shoulder was also pierced by the monster’s dagger.
However, without any movement, Ji-soo did not let go of the power in his hand until the monster died.
Soon, the monster stretched out with a gurgling sound, and the green monster that was threaded through my spear passed away at the same time.
It sounded like my heart was beating very loudly.
“Hey, I won…”
I sat down on the floor and let out a big sigh.
At that time, my body suddenly glowed and I felt very refreshed.
The feeling of the fatigue that was weighing down your body being relieved.
And a message that floats before your eyes.
[You have leveled up. Distribute skill points]
I hurriedly opened the status window.
“Status window!”
[Kang Min-goo

Something has changed a lot
‘For now, both HP and MP have been recovered. Did everyone become full just because they leveled up?
Then, even if you level up after receiving a big wound, will it heal perfectly? This isn’t a game…’
I took a close look at the other items as well.
‘The number written in parentheses must indicate the ability level that has increased while leveling up. It seems that the stats do not go up constantly, but randomly. Okay, stat point went up by one. I can take another skill.’
While frantically examining the status window, I was startled by the buzzing noise outside and ran out.
A murmur from the bottom of the stairs.
It doesn’t sound like there are as few people as before.
‘Even if I can’t do this, it’s more than five. Well, since the people who went up have been losing news…’
I was in a hurry.
Dealing with five of them would be impossible even after dying and waking up.
‘Since his level has gone up and his stats have also gone up, wouldn’t only Sungman be able to raise him up? If so, how about five of them…’
I shook my head vigorously.
‘No. There’s no guarantee that there are five of them, and if you somehow kill them, what’s next? What if ten or twenty come up? Then it’s over Rather than fighting, think of avoiding.”
I gulped down my saliva as I looked at the skill ‘Gate of Rest’ written on the status window.
[Door of Rest: Summons a door to the Cradle of Rest.
Derived skills: expansion, door movement, etc.]
‘Yes, this time. I don’t know where the cradle of rest is, but it must be less dangerous than here.
It’s the skill I need the most right now.’
I manipulated the status window and distributed points to the ‘Door of Rest’ skill.
Soon, the level of the skill changed to lv.1, and the details of the skill came to mind.
[Door of Rest: Summons a door to the Cradle of Rest located on the border between the present world and the underworld. Derived Skills: Expansion, door movement, etc.]
I could hear the sounds of the monsters coming closer and closer.
I used the ‘Door of Rest’ skill without properly examining the contents of the skill.
“Ah, the door of rest!”
I felt something slipping out of my body again.
And what appeared before my eyes was a large door.
I approached a black door that somehow gave off an ominous feeling.
‘..Huh?’
The doorknob is not visible.
Instead, a small groove is dug.
Sliding doors, not swinging.
I put my hand in the groove and pushed it aside.
Drooling.
Across the open door is a dark space where nothing can be seen.
I hesitated if I could go in, but there was no time for that.
“Seo Ji-soo! Go inside!”
Jisoo, who had been standing in a daze at my command, stumbled into the door.
I also went inside immediately following Jisoo and immediately closed the door.
Quaang
I expected pitch-black darkness where I couldn’t see anything, but it wasn’t at all.
A square space surrounded by transparent glass.
Through the transparent glass, you can see the inside of the PC room as it is.
On the wall opposite the door I entered, I saw another sliding door.
I hurriedly went to the door on the other side and put my hand in the groove and pulled it.
..Doesn’t open.
[The conditions to open the door to the Underworld have not been met.]
“Oh shit!”
Could it be that I came to a strange place and became isolated?
I thought it was a safe place, but it was a room surrounded by transparent glass!
My movement, which was holding the door and using the dragon, stopped when I saw a group of green monsters entering the pc room.
I hurriedly went back to the door I came in and pushed myself against it with my whole body.
‘Is there any use in blocking this door? If you just break through the glass wall and enter…’
The number of green monsters that came into the pc room is 8!
Seeing the corpses of their fellow countrymen lying at the entrance, many of those green monsters squeaked and stomped their feet as if indignant.
Then, with the dagger held high, I sneaked toward the room where Jisoo and I were.
But the condition of the green monsters is strange.
It is a movement that seems to have not seen me and Jisoo in the transparent glass room.
‘…What? Could this glass wall be like a magic mirror?’
A magic mirror that is visible from the inside but looks like a mirror from the outside.
However, the movements of the green monsters are not like looking in a mirror.
They walked towards the glass room where Jisoo and I were standing,
Sniff
I just walked through the room and passed by.
“…?!”
I stared at the green monster across the room in amazement.
“What is this…”
As I stared blankly at the green monsters crossing the room in amazement, something even more surprising happened.
The green monster that walked to Jisoo, who was standing there blankly, passed right through Jisoo.
“Stop, no way…”
I stabbed the green monster with the spear I was holding just in case.
But the spear went right through the monster.
I mustered up the courage to reach out and touch the green monster.
“..As expected, it passes as it is..”
I stared blankly at the green monsters wandering through the rooms and cages.
At that time, with thoughts rushing through my head, I hurriedly opened the status window and looked at the contents of the ‘Door of Rest’ skill again.
‘This is it. [The cradle of rest located on the border between the present world and the underworld.]
Does that mean that this glass room is the cradle of rest, and that this is neither the present world nor the underworld? The present world is supposed to be the reality, and the underworld… Does it mean the underworld? So you’re saying this is the space between this world and the next world? ‘
It seems that this is the correct answer.
This room I am in is a different dimension between this world and the other world.
So it must be that the green monsters in this world do not even recognize this place and pass through it as it is.
That’s what…
‘Isn’t this a complete fraudulent skill?’
There is no danger of being discovered by the enemy, and you can check the situation outside.
Where in the world could there be such a safe place?
“Wow, that’s great…”
You won’t have to block the door any longer.
I slowly backed away from the door and moved to where Jisoo was standing and looked at the green monsters.
They seemed to be searching the inside of the pc room, and they seemed to be taking care of this and that.
The guys who take care of snacks and cup noodles that were on the shelf.
Soon after, they rushed into the kitchen and heard a loud noise.
He seemed to have all the ingredients in the kitchen.
I was hoping that the green monsters would quickly finish their work and disappear, but I suddenly thought it was a waste.
‘Will there be a fuss outside right now? If you look at something like a movie, the most important thing in a situation like this is food. I won’t be able to see that.’
Most of the green monsters are in the kitchen.
Only two remain, robbing shelves and refrigerators.
The place where they are is right in front of the door of rest.
I firmly gripped the spear and gently opened the door to rest.
