▶Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor

◆Grade:

[Mythic-]

◆Description:

The life support device of the emperor who founded the largest human empire in a certain dimension’s universe. The emperor emerged victorious in the war against the alien gods but was cursed with eternal life as a result, making him dependent on this golden life support device for survival. At this very moment, 100 heroes are being sacrificed daily in the Galactic Empire to maintain the emperor’s life as the power source for this golden device.

When used, it can heal all wounds and debuff traits, except for those of [Apocalyptic] or [Void] grade.

A power source of at least [Epic] grade or higher is required for use. The more numerous and higher the grade of the wounds and debuff traits to be healed, the more power is needed.

───────────────────

A [Mythic-] grade medical machine.

With this, Kang Seo-jun could heal all the debuff traits he possessed.

Most of Kang Seo-jun’s debuff traits were numerous but not of high grade.

Most of them didn’t even reach the level of epic, let alone legendary or mythical.

The healing shouldn’t be too complicated.

‘Ah. Maybe not.’

◆Traits:

[Baldness Lv.Lowest]

.

.

[Super Strong Baldness Gene Lv.Calamity]

This debuff trait unexpectedly had the grade of about [Legendary].

That’s because baldness has been an unsolved problem even for the greatest geniuses in history.

But even such an infamous debuff like baldness was just a minor mob in front of the [Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor].

As long as the proper power source was secured, it could be healed without issue.

‘Alright. Let’s get started.’

Purchasing such a high-cost [Mythic-] grade item required a lot of preparation in advance.

‘First, I need to find a safe place to set it up.’

The Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor is an installation-type machine item.

Such an expensive and complex item could not be installed in the academy dormitory.

What if the dormitory were attacked by villains or if a giant monster rampaged nearby, and the Life Support Device was damaged in the aftermath?

Even Kang Seo-jun, with his ’32’ willpower, might despair.

‘Mythic-grade items must never be treated carelessly.’

It would be terrible if it were damaged, but even worse if it fell into enemy hands.

Therefore, it is essential to protect mythic-grade items using all possible means.

Of course, as always, Kang Seo-jun had a very good method.

He first opened the dimensional shop and entered the real estate tab.

───────────────────

A dizzying array of diverse properties lined up.

A newbie might have been overwhelmed by the tsunami of information, unable to make sense of it all,

but as a veteran, Kang Seo-jun was all too familiar with each and every property.

Deciding which property was most suitable for him was an easy task.

He quickly scrolled through, looking for the property that was a perfect fit for him.

A flying fortress was too conspicuous, so it was out.

An underground base was also difficult to manage at the moment, so it was out.

A magic tower or elixir workshop was not immediately needed, so they were out.

What remained were the properties in the dimensional rift.

‘I need to save as much dimensional currency as possible for other expenses, so I have to buy the cheapest one.’

Kang Seo-jun selected the most cost-effective property from those available.

[You have purchased the Dimensional Rift Warehouse!]

[Entrance Code – N320697691]

[Thank you for using Dimensional Rift Real Estate!]

The Dimensional Rift Warehouse.

Because it’s located in the dimensional rift, even if Earth were split in two, the items here would be safe, and

it’s a secret space so well hidden in a space wider than the universe that it’s nearly impossible to find through any magical means.

It’s even a perfect private house that can optionally be expanded with a bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and other living facilities.

‘Plus, since I can enter from anywhere at any time, I can use it as an inventory for moving heavy items, and there’s no need for uncomfortable camping when attacking dungeons for a long period.’

It’s the ultimate in convenience that multiplies the quality of life.

Of course, it wasn’t cheap, costing a third of the dimensional currency he had accumulated so far.

‘I don’t feel it’s expensive at all. Every time I think about it, there’s no product as generous as the Dimensional Rift Real Estate.’

It was an essential property that he would have had to purchase sooner or later anyway.

Kang Seo-jun’s choice was undoubtedly the best.

‘Let’s go in right away.’

Now it was time to install today’s highlight, the Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor.

Kang Seo-jun entered the owned properties tab in the dimensional shop and touched [Dimensional Rift Warehouse – N320697691].

[Would you like to enter?]

[Y / N]

His answer was a resolute yes.

– Woong! –

As soon as he pressed the button, a transparent portal opened right in front of him.

Inside the portal, framed by a blue plasma border, was the empty interior of the warehouse.

‘It’s just like what I saw in the game.’

Kang Seo-jun carefully stepped through the portal.

It felt like static electricity was brushing over his entire body.

Once fully inside the warehouse, the portal closed and disappeared on its own.

‘Do I use the same method to leave?’

Kang Seo-jun brought up the exit message through the dimensional real estate tab in the same way as before.

[Would you like to return to the original world?]

[Y / N]

Pressing yes, the portal opened again.

The portal was showing the inside of Kang Seo-jun’s dormitory.

‘When leaving, I return to the place I entered from. Just like in the game.’

Everything that needed to be checked was checked.

‘Good. Now that I’ve secured a safe installation site.’

Kang Seo-jun brought up the exit message again and pressed the ‘no’ button to close the portal.

Now it was time to spend a significant amount of money.

‘Let’s see…’

Kang Seo-jun first looked around the warehouse.

Spotless white floors.

High ceilings. Bright lights hanging in a regular pattern.

No windows, and the walls were all a bright yellow.

‘It seems I can install it just about anywhere.’

Since the warehouse was empty, it didn’t really matter where he installed it.

Kang Seo-jun walked over to a corner and opened the dimensional shop window.

He searched for the Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor and pressed the purchase button without hesitation.

[※Store Notification: This is a high-cost item. Are you sure you want to purchase it?]

His answer was a resolute yes.

[Please select a location to install the item.]

Along with the message, a flat remote control popped out in front of Kang Seo-jun.

The remote had only two buttons.

The buttons were clearly labeled [Activate] and [Cancel].

When he pressed the activate button, a 3D hologram blueprint of the Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor was projected from the remote, like from a beam projector.

‘Oh. This is different from the game.’

In the game, it was done with just a mouse.

Kang Seo-jun moved the remote around.

If it was too close to the wall, the blueprint turned red, and when projected in a sufficiently large space, it turned green.

‘This is the same as the game.’

Red means installation not possible. Green means installation possible.

‘It’s just like building structures in StarCraft. The unwritten rule is to build as close to the wall as possible to save space.’

Kang Seo-jun fixed the blueprint in a position that would save as much space as possible and pressed the activate button again.

[Thank you for using the Dimensional Shop.]

[The installation of the item Life Support Device of Galactic Emperor will now begin. Please wait a moment.]

– Tick-tock! Tick-tock! –

– Whirr! Whirr! –

– Sssssk! Sssssk! –

“Oh, oh wow!”

Soon a skeleton made of gold and steel sprang from the floor, extending and bending on its own, gradually forming the shape of a complex machine.

After the overall skeleton was assembled, pipes and hoses like snakes climbed up the framework, finding their places.

It was a sight that couldn’t be seen in a pixelated graphic game, one that naturally elicited admiration.

– Tick-tock! Tick-tock! –

– Whirr! Whirr! –

– Sssssk! Sssssk! –

“…But this.”

I remember that installation took quite a while in the game.

‘How long do I have to wait?’

As soon as he thought that, a message appeared before his eyes.

‘Hmm.’

The constantly changing speed made it impossible to know the exact time…

‘Looks like it could be as short as 2 weeks or as long as 4 weeks.’

Either way, it’s just a month.

It will pass quickly.

Until then, I’ll have no choice but to live with this daunting appearance, but once a month passes, I can sprint towards a life akin to that of Cha Eun-woo, Park Bo-gum, and Shohei Ohtani.

‘A month will fly by quickly with various things to do.’

What would be the best way to spend the time in the meantime?

Kang Seo-jun first checked the time.

It was now Tuesday evening at 7 PM.

‘It’s just the right time for dinner. Perfect timing to feed the Mana Fungus a special meal and evolve it.’

───────《Trait》───────

▶Mana Fungus:

◆Grade:

[Rare]

◆Description:

A symbiotic organism that takes root inside a host’s body, receiving nutrients in exchange for producing mana.

This entity is currently in the [Infant] stage.

──────────────────

Although it is currently in the infant stage and produces only a minimal amount of mana, if he diligently feeds it special meals to grow through the juvenile and adult stages to evolve into an alpha organism…

‘From that point on, it’s basically an infinite mana cheat.’

It was the moment to take a significant step towards becoming a grand mage who could one day wield the tremendous mana emanating from the Mana Fungus to turn the heavens and the earth over like the palm of his hand.
