Although my mind was dizzy from the many contents, I first looked at what was given to me.

‘First of all, our spirits.’

I looked again at the spirits running around in front of my eyes. I thought about whether I came from another dimension and was not in good condition, or whether I couldn’t come here at all, but fortunately nothing happened.

｢***! **! ******!」

｢***. ******…? ********.｣

｢***. ******!」

｢***! ****? **! *****!! ***! ***! ***!」

But is there a lot that everyone wants to say?

Everyone seems to be very interested and curious about this new situation. In particular, Suryeong and Jiryeong, who are usually very calm, showed a lot of emotion on rare occasions.

‘It doesn’t seem like he hates it… On the contrary, I’m glad that it seems like something enjoyable.’

I was worried that in my world, the spirits would lose their power or something like that would happen. It seems like it was a coincidence.

After confirming all the basic information regarding the spirits, I immediately picked up my phone and sent a chat to Sarah.

[Me: Sarah, it’s me. Just arrived. What are the times there?]

Not long after waiting for her reply with a pounding heart, a notification sound rings on my phone.

[Stranger from Dimension AP-1892573: Brother! You arrived safely! thank god. Nothing special here. My brother disappeared in less than a minute, so it’s surprising to receive a message like this.]

“Thank goodness, hehe… Time between dimensions is not a big problem.”

The app clearly said it was 3 days based on that time. But that doesn’t mean it’s 3 days for me.

It doesn’t say how many days on this side will count as 3 days on that side… Couldn’t you provide something like that as a service?

Even though I desperately searched the app, the button for the function that seemed to take me to Sera’s dimension was gray-white, and no matter how many times I pressed it, there was no response. There is just a small light shining at the end.

Ultimately, there is nothing I can do about this right now. I wonder if the authority level goes up a bit later.

[Me: That’s good. Then, for now, I’ll just look at some things to see here. If anything happens, tell me right away. If you think it’s been too long since I disappeared, tell me again.]

[Stranger from Dimension AP-1892573: Yeah, I get it. It’s okay to not worry about this for a while and prioritize that work. Still, is it okay to contact me whenever I miss you?]

[Me: That is absolutely welcome.]

[Stranger from Dimension AP-1892573: ♥♥]

I exchanged a few words with a relieved Sarah and ended the conversation. They must have been very worried because I disappeared, but I’m glad I was able to contact them at least this way. I need to chat frequently and reassure them.

“By the way, it’s inventory… ”

There are words used in the game that are quite unfamiliar. There is no explanation in the app. Maybe it’s because it has a similar function to a game.

I held the item in my hand and tried using the inventory.

Faaaa… !

“…Oh, it’s like this.”

The object in my hand disappears from sight in an instant, and my mind recognizes what object and how much I have.

I don’t know what it feels like, but does it feel like I’m taking something out of my memory and writing it down? It’s close to something like that.

And when I thought about taking something out of the inventory again, the object was in my hand in an instant.

‘This would be incredibly useful, right?’

Even though I have good visual acuity, I don’t feel any difference in time when putting and removing items from the inventory.

Wouldn’t this be able to be used not only for simple supplies and collecting monster by-products, but also in battle? Things like quickly switching weapons.

I know that even high-ranking wizard hunters haven’t developed subspace magic yet… At most, light weight or miniaturization magic has been developed.

What I initially thought was just a simple reward turned out to be bigger than I thought.

Not only was it bad enough to have made a contract with the spirits, but this ridiculous level of compensation… Plus, there is no weight limit.

“Thank you, Seraya… !”

Although Sera did not give me this, I received the inventory as a reward for saving Sera. That’s why I expressed my gratitude to my new girlfriend.

“Oh, of course, thank you too, guys.”

｢***! **! ******!」

｢***. ******…? ********.｣

｢***. ******!」

｢***! ****? **! *****!! ***! ***! ***!」

Before I knew it, I was hugging and comforting the spirits that came next to me. These are children that are really enjoyable to hold, as they have no weight but give off a warm feeling.

And finally, the long-awaited shopping time.

I clicked on the new ‘Dimension Store’ item in the Dimension Random Chat app.

And for a moment, like when I first moved to Sera’s dimension, my vision went black for a moment.

‘Now, it’s not really surprising.’

And what I saw as my eyes caught the light was a hologram floating in the air.

[Welcome to the Dimension Store!]

[The dimension store sells items specially prepared for dimension random chat app users.]

[Accumulate various achievements at the Dimension Store and obtain more valuable items and abilities!]

“It’s special treatment… I feel good.”

The only time I’ve ever received special treatment in my life was when I was deemed talented at the academy, and right after that.

Anyway, I looked around to see what they had to offer here.

There was a list of products I had never seen before.

[Lesser Mental Protection: 200 Dimensional Power]

[Provides some protection against various kinds of mental assaults inflicted on the user. As long as you have your own will, you will never lose your self.]

[Level Magic Enchantment: 200 Dimensional Power]

[Grants magical power to the user. The magical power granted depends on the user’s talent. However, it cannot be purchased in special cases where magical power cannot be used. Duplicate purchases are not possible.]

All of them were unusual except for the word low-class, but at this moment, there was one thing I wanted to buy the most.

“I can’t stand this.”

With my heart pounding, I immediately clicked on grant minor magical power.

But it was no use.

Beep beep!

[The user is unable to purchase low-level magical power enchantment due to personal issues. sorry.]

A strange notification sound rang in my ear, and a red hologram said I couldn’t purchase this.

“…Okay. Once again, well. Ugh… ”

I was a little too excited, but I thought there was nothing I could do. Even if it wasn’t magical power, it didn’t matter because you could become stronger through spirits.

I checked to see if only dimensional power had been consumed even though I had not purchased it, but the dimensional power was still written with the number 1000.

“Forget it, forget it. Isn’t it enough to become stronger in other ways anyway?”

I completely shook off any lingering feelings about magical power and took a closer look at the items in the hologram again.

[Granted low-level resistance: 200 dimensional power]

[Creates a dantian in the body that has an internal energy of about 10 years. It has a pure energy that can be easily used in any martial arts. However, multiple purchases are not possible.]

[Three Trials: 10 Dimensional Power]

[This is a basic inner strength technique. Pure energy can be accumulated, but it takes too long to accumulate a large amount of energy.]

“There are all kinds of things, really… ”

There were also things that seemed like something out of a martial arts magazine I had seen before.

Because it’s a skill… I’m definitely curious…

I was once said to have a natural talent in areas where I use my body. I once imagined what it would be like if I used something like martial arts.

However, although there is magical swordsmanship in this world, there is no such thing as inner strength. Tsk.

However, items that tempted me more than my inner skills caught my eye.

[Lesser Fire Spirit Stone: 200 Dimensional Power]

[This is a spirit stone that can make low-level fire spirits stronger. Depending on your relationship with the contracted user, you may gain more power or it may not be as effective. It’s delicious, so the spirits like it very much.]

[Lesser Water Spirit Stone: 200 Dimensional Power]

[This is a spirit stone that can make low-level water spirits stronger. Depending on your relationship with the contracted user, you may gain more power or it may not be as effective. It’s delicious, so the spirits like it very much.]

[Lesser Wind Spirit Stone: 200 Dimensional Power]

[This is a spirit stone that can make low-level wind spirits stronger. Depending on the relationship with the contracted user… ]

[Lesser Earth Spirit Stone: 200 Dimensional Power]

[Strong lower-level land spirits… (hereinafter omitted)]

“This is it! Definitely this!”

Having become stronger as a spirit, I was now satisfied with my strength. And I thought that someday there might be a way to strengthen the power of using spirits.

But that method has already appeared. I can’t help but roll my eyes.

Of course, that’s before you look at the price.

“But this… It’s too expensive… crazy… !”

There are four spirits I contracted with. And there are four necessary spirit stones. If you add it all up, it’s already 800. That’s almost all of the dimensional power I have.

Even this one is probability type. It may work, it may not work out.

Of course, you could give it to only certain kids, not everyone, but for some reason, I don’t think that would ever work.

You may not know it, but spirits are pure beings like children. And the more children like that, the more significant the meaning of discrimination becomes.

‘I wouldn’t know if I didn’t have enough dimensional power from the beginning… ‘It’s not like that.’

I thought about it over and over again, but in the end, the conclusion was the same.

[Do you want to purchase these items?]

[One. Lesser Mental Protection]

[2. Lesser Fire Spirit Stone]

[3. Lesser Water Spirit Stone]

[4. Lesser Wind Spirit Stone]

[5. [Level Land Spirit Stone]

[1000 dimensional power is consumed.]

[Y/N]

‘This is the best. There is no point in suddenly having internal skills if you don’t know how to use them. Now I need to strengthen my existing strength and prepare as much as possible for unknown attacks.’

There were many attractive things, but aside from the spirit stone, ‘lower spirit protection’ caught my attention the most.

Therefore, without hesitation, I clicked on the hologram with the Y drawn on it.

Then, I felt that four round gems appeared in my inventory.

At the same time, my vision darkened again.

[The dimensional store is closed because all dimensional power has been consumed. Please use it after gaining dimensional power.] The guiding hologram disappeared from sight for a moment, and I saw my familiar room again, unchanged.

‘The clock is the same too.’

Just before using the dimension store, the hour, minute, and second hands of the clock I had checked were still the same.

The spirits didn’t show any particular reaction, so it didn’t seem like anything had happened.

‘Mental protection… hmm… I can’t really feel any difference now.’

I didn’t feel like my head was clear or anything like that. However, does it feel like your resolve has become stronger? I don’t know if it’s a placebo effect, but I feel that way for no reason.

｢***? **?｣

“No, Hwaryeong. are you okay. Thank you for your concern.”

I didn’t know for sure, but I told Hwaryeong, who came up to my face while I was using my cell phone, that I was okay.

“Now, guys. I brought you gifts, so everyone come here.

｢**? **! ******!」

｢***. *****….」

｢**. **.｣

｢***! ****? **! *****!! ***! ***! ***!」

The spirits seem to understand the word “gift,” as they bounce around my little house with different reactions.

I thought it was like kids waiting for New Year’s money, so I smiled and took out the spirit stone from my inventory.

｢***! **!!! ***!!!」

｢***! *****…? ****!」

｢***! ***… ***!」

｢***! ***?! ***! *****!! ***! ***! ***!」

The moment four small walnut-sized jewels were placed in my hands, all the spirits showed violent reactions and movements that I had never seen before.

It’s the same for Suryeong and Jiryeong, who are usually calm, but Pungryeong, who is distracted, seems to be going even more crazy.

“Okay, guys. I’ll give it to you right away, just stay still… I’ll give it to the one who waits calmly first!”

Although I never had a nephew, I calmed down the spirits by saying a line that I would like to say to my children someday. Surprisingly, Pungryeong was the first to become quiet.

“Now, here. It’s been a while since we met, but it’s nice to meet you. Let’s continue to be together in the future.”

I placed a spirit stone in front of each spirit and said a word to them with my wish.

｢***! **!」

｢***. ****.｣

｢**. **.｣

｢***! ****!」

Each of the spirits sent me a feeling of gratitude and threw their light into each spirit stone.

Hwaaah!!!!

And in an instant, my small room was filled with four colors of light.
