Chapter Title: The Isekai Coin Frenzy
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Monsters had spread throughout the entire Kellarton region.
They'd succeeded in ransacking the royal castle like burglars to drive out the monsters, but now they had to prepare for the wave that was coming soon.
"Food and military equipment are in short supply."
"The monsters will reach the royal castle in just two days!"
The real problem was that Kellarton had originally splintered off from Adrian, which had basically disintegrated into thin air.
The army's skills were decent, but everything else was either in short supply or completely absent.
They had less than a month's worth of food, and almost no materials for rebuilding the ruins.
Evelyn felt countless eyes on her as she stared blankly at the sky.
"Could it be that Judak actually hates me...?"
Evelyn's every day was a survival ordeal.
It just felt like the stakes in that crisis had ballooned enormously—was that an illusion?
And unlike before, where death was the end, how many lives were now hanging on her?
"I want to go home..."
She was aching for those days of eating tuna cans when the notification hit.
[The Gallery has a new feature!]
[The 'Isekai Coin' tab has been added.]
A new wind was blowing through the Gallery.
*
"Is this finally done?"
I let out a deep sigh and stretched my back.
I'd been working nonstop for days: sorting the warehouse.
I bought a door from the shop, hung it up as a temporary fix, and tossed the debris into the rift.
After cleaning up the messy interior, I leaned the dwarf's gifted masterwork sword against the wall by the door.
"Now security's sorted too..."
Last time, relying too much on the K2 and stashing the swords away had been a mistake.
Having one masterwork sword set up for defense felt incredibly reassuring.
That left one holy sword.
"Let's see, as for you..."
Woooong.
The holy sword's light swelled and shrank repeatedly, full of eager anticipation.
After some thought, I picked it up and placed it on the top shelf where the light would shine on it best.
"You'll serve as lighting."
...Woooong.
Then I positioned the shotgun and grenades in key spots, and that wrapped things up.
"It'd be great if there was something that could reinforce this space on its own."
But it still wasn't enough.
If the whole warehouse could turn into a bunker impervious to external shocks, that'd be perfect...
"Huh?"
A flash of inspiration hit me.
No way—was a bunker for sale in the shop too?
Checking the shop categories out of curiosity, a bunker category actually appeared!
"No freaking way! Amazing!"
This could shrug off most attacks, right?
But my face fell the moment I saw the prices.
[Standard Bunker] - 50,000 points
[Premium Bunker] - 100,000 points
[Deluxe Bunker] - 300,000 points
.
.
[Nuclear Apocalypse Bunker] - 10,000,000 points
"Oof."
It'd been a few months since I got isekai'd here.
I had about 20,000 points to my name.
For reference, 20,000 points was a huge amount, even after sprinkling them around on various things.
It was just that those prices were... insanely off.
"Has the shop been hit by Earth's inflation too?"
These weren't normal prices at all.
[Nuclear Apocalypse Bunker] - 10,000,000 points
- The world's top bunker, guaranteed to let you survive even if nuclear war wipes out humanity!
- Performance has been proven in real-world tests!
Especially that nuclear one.
The "proven performance" line was even scarier.
"Did a nuclear war break out on Earth after I got isekai'd?"
No way to go back and check, so who knows what Earth's like now.
Maybe rifts opened there too, and they're doing survival just like here.
"For now, let's aim for the standard bunker."
I set my goal.
Premium? Deluxe? No chance.
[Standard Bunker] - 50,000 points
- Effective against shock magic!
- Impossible to breach with ordinary blades!
Perfect as is.
To get there, I needed points and levels, which naturally led to helping the Gallery folks survive.
My eyes drifted to the golden apple the World Tree had given me.
[World Tree's Golden Apple]
Delicious. Great texture.
Everything the Gallery users had given me so far had insane effects.
Rabbit hole tickets, masterwork swords, holy swords, golden carrots, and so on.
But nothing with such a sparse description.
"What if it has no effect at all?"
The worry crossed my mind right before biting in, but...
"Whatever, it's tasty, so good enough!!"
If the fruit's delicious, that's all that matters.
I took a big bite.
Crunch!
[Level up! 4→5]
[A new feature has been added to the Gallery!]
[The 'Isekai Coin' feature has been unlocked.]
"Isekai Coin?"
It was like pouring an entire barrel of oil on a dying fire.

Kellarton didn't hesitate and jumped straight into the investment tab first.

"Good thinking."
I clicked into the investment tab and hit the lone Kellarton post.
Normally they'd take isekai currency like mana crystals, but desperate Kellarton was taking anything.

I started the pump, follow along
- Gazuaaaaa
- Life reversal go!!!
- If Judak's doing it, gotta follow lol ㅋㅋ
- Gonna invest my hidden stash and snag citizenship for sure ㅇㅇ;
"Nice, going smooth."
When Kellarton first posted their investment plea, the Gallery was meh.
But with the official system feature, plus me dumping massive food supplies to prove it, interest exploded.
And for me, it was win-win: no pointless point spending, and returns via investment.
- Investing 50 eggs
- Invested 100kg firewood
- ㅅㅂ Clothing biz tanked, selling all fabric, clothes, dresses. Moon please!!!!
ㄴ Grip tight, it's dropping!! ㅋㅋ
ㄴ Don't jinx it bitch
"Almost there with a bit more..."
But it felt oddly unsatisfying.
Like just a tiny push more, and it'd explode big.
I messaged the fallen noble lady.
Judak☆: Hey you
FallenNobleLady(NicknameTBD^^): Kyaaak!
Judak☆: ㅈㅅ;; Calm down;
FallenNobleLady(NicknameTBD^^): ...Hoo, so why'd you call?
Judak☆: Wondering if you need anything.
Judak☆: Monsters incoming, besides food, anything else?
Food's good. Fabric's fine too.
But Kellarton needed something else right now.
Rumors were flying in the Gallery that monsters were swarming the whole region.
FallenNobleLady(NicknameTBD^^): Lots needed, but armor and weapons most of all...
FallenNobleLady(NicknameTBD^^): We're basically fighting naked right now ㅇ︿ㅇ
FallenNobleLady(NicknameTBD^^): (Soldier GIF with torn cloth, crude wooden shield)
Judak☆: Got it ㅇㅋ
"That I can handle."
[Steel] 8.25~14 points per kg market rate
The shop is god, and I'm invincible.
I decided to flood this world with steel.
Without knowing what chaos it'd unleash...

Perfection.

What is this.

Just hours after releasing steel into the isekai.
The Gallery was in a frenzy over the market bait.
Was it wrong to dump what I thought was plain steel without considering quality or strength?
"Nah, what're they on about."
I just bought the shop's cheapest and resold as-is.
Somehow I was turning into an adult who didn't care about profits.
And testing the new steel supply came sooner than expected.
Title: Monster wave incoming!!!
