Chapter Title: VX Delivery
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Level Up!]
[Delivery function has been added.]
[Inventory function has been added.]
“Oh?”
I’d been wandering around the shop for a while, checking out what might be worth buying.
Thanks to steadily munching on those rice cakes, I suddenly heard the level-up announcement when I least expected it.
“Legendary situation occurred!”
I reflexively shot up from the bed and cheered.
Yahoo!
I’d never lost out from leveling up.
“Delivery function?”
[You can deliver items to your desired distance.]
[Additional fees apply based on distance.]
“What’s this? What good is it?”
I read through the system messages and tilted my head.
So what’s the point?
For deliveries, I’d already been making great use of the barter system.
I could even send stuff to others without any extra fees, and I pocketed the commissions.
This one? It was just me paying to ship items.
“But there’s still hope.”
Inventory function.
This could be seriously overpowered if used right.
I clung to my fading expectations and opened the inventory...!
[Inventory max capacity: 10kg]
“Ah.”
My expectations quickly turned to disappointment.
*
Chemical weapons came in more varieties than I’d imagined.
Depending on the type, they ranged from blood agents, choking agents, blister agents, nerve agents, and more—really diverse.
[Store/Chemical Weapons]
[1. Mustard Gas] Purchase
First used by Germany in World War I, alongside chlorine gas.
Chemical formula: (Cl-CH2CH2)2S.
“(Cl-CH2CH2)2S? What the hell is that, you idiot.”
Unlike my bold declaration that I’d use it, I had no clue what to actually pick.
The only chemical weapon I knew was CS gas from NBC training.
And the second problem was transportation.
If I bought this, how would I store it? How would I carry it?
If it arrived in my bunker as gas or liquid in its raw state, it’d be game over for real.
But as always, the system had the answer.
[Choose delivery method upon purchase.]
1. Gas state
2. Shell
3. Storage container
4. Cylinder
.
.
At least I wouldn’t end up vaporized receiving the chemical weapon in its original form.
Penny had told me the wave start time, and I still had roughly two hours and thirty minutes left.
“Plenty of time.”
I’d already eyed a few chemical weapons.
Just as I was thinking I could snag a galrum to deliver them into the rift...

(all sorts of trash mobs flooding in like a tidal wave through the crumbled wall gif)
Fuck, seriously not human
- What the hell is that?
- Season 4143242 mob entry gal
- Ah lol, Black Death just ended and they’re already invading
ㄴ For real lol, have some manners please
- Tough like a rock lol
ㄴ Steel’s tougher than rock
ㄴ zl Ground Explosion Mage) Fuck, if you’ve got time to joke, come help out
“What?”
Kellirton was under attack from a variant monster.
*
Waves didn’t always spit out monsters right on the dot at the exact time.
All we could really do was guess based on the rift’s condition or signs.
- Come out together at least
- Don’t come out before the promised time lol
- For real, it’s burdensome
Among those, there were occasional cases where they crawled out ahead of the wave.
The variant monster currently smashing Kellirton’s walls was one of them.
- Groooar!
The ultra-tough steel golem let out a roar.
Kellirton’s walls came crashing down in a heap of rubble.
“Fuck!”
zl Ground Explosion Mage—Derek—ducked to dodge the flying wall debris.
He’d heard the report of an ominous rift opening in the nearby northern plains.
But this was way too soon.
They’d invaded before anyone could prepare defenses.
“Attacks aren’t working!”
“We’ve cleared all the normal monsters, but that thing...!”
- Groooar!
The golem swung its arm, and a nearby two-story inn collapsed in a heap.
They’d loosed hundreds of arrows, but not a single scratch on the golem.
The mages pooled their spells, but they couldn’t melt or shatter steel.
They’d killed all the normal monsters that came with it, but it meant nothing.
That variant golem was rampaging through the interior without a single wound.
“If only we’d had a little more time!”
He sighed in regret. As the temporary tower lord of Jusak Magic Tower, it stung.
The tower was a place to research Judak’s grand magic.
A bit more time, and they could’ve deployed artificial lifeforms.
“Mage-nim, any ideas?!”
Lloyd, who’d been commanding the nearby defenses, shouted.
If this kept up, the city inside would turn into a bloodbath.
They were still at the wall’s entry point. They had to take down that golem now.
“We can hold it for a moment, but...”
“That’s all we need!”
At Lloyd’s shout, Derek caught his breath and steadied his mind.
-Clang!
The expensive mana stones in Derek’s hand all lost their glow, absorbed into him.
He might go by a name like zl Ground Explosion Mage, but he was still an advanced mage.
“Now!”
-Rumble...
The moment Derek’s eyes snapped open, the steel golem’s movements slowed as it wrecked the surroundings.
He’d used the broken debris to forcibly clamp down the golem’s feet.
-Grraaak!
The steel golem thrashed, and it was obvious the hold wouldn’t last more than a few seconds.
But those few seconds were enough.
“Charge!”
Lloyd shouted, and Kellirton’s elite knights swarmed up the golem’s body in an instant.
They securely tied ropes to both arms and legs, then started yanking from all sides.
“Arrrgh!”
Dozens clung to each rope, straining with all their might until their muscles tore.
-Thud!
The instant the golem lost its balance and sprawled flat on the ground...
Derek climbed atop it and unleashed an explosion spell straight into its mouth.
“Die!”
Unlike its exterior, the steel golem clearly had biological functions inside.
Derek unleashed a massive explosion, expending every last drop of his mana, right at the golem’s greatest weakness.

(northern wall turned to ruins gif)
Not even a golem anymore lol
Steel golem skinned!!
[Likes: 5232] [Dislikes: 50]
- Kyaa~
- Wow, they actually took it down lol
- But what about the wall? It didn’t just collapse—it’s wide open now
- Follow-up wave incoming during this mess~
- Fuck, it’s total ruins now
ㄴ Real early access build lol...
ㄴ (scared meme)
[Title: Am I the only one feeling uneasy?...jpg]
(Elrad great air raid gif)
(steel golem gif)
The monsters are starting to act weird
Reminds me of the Great War back then fuck
What if a massive wave hits? Aren’t we all dead?;
- Don’t jinx it fuck
- Ah, PTSD kicking in
- If they swarm like in the old Great War, we’ve got no way to stop them now
ㄴ Real talk, we’re barely surviving in hiding—how could we fight a war
ㄴ Life really ain’t easy
Kellirton had built up its image as a knight kingdom by training knights after getting steel supplies.
And in reality, when the golem invaded, they succeeded in pinning it down with raw strength and killing it—an insane idea.
But this was just a precursor symptom.
There were still four more steel golems out there.
[Title: Monsters, stop!]
(frog firmly extending palm meme)
Stop, fuck
- Lmao yeah~ Monsters don’t care
- Monsters! Go wherever they want~
- Kellirton... service terminated...
The gallery sank faster into despair than joy over the victory.
Plus, with the walls crumbled to pieces, it was a win but with even greater damage.
And the steel golem was different from all the monsters that had appeared so far.
[Title: JOAT]
(steel golem gif) ← this bastard
Other monsters at least give meat when killed, but this fucker has none.
Can’t eat it, and it’s the size of a fucking mountain—hard to even clear away
Steel’s nice at least, but the purity ain’t that great, ugh
- Long-term it’s a profit but...
- Judak’s occasional steel drops are way better and more efficient;
- Just use the corpse as a wall?
- (we’re all gonna die~ knight meme)
Internally, things were a mess from the Black Death.
Externally, ever-stronger variant monsters kept attempting invasions.
This was the kind of difficulty that’d get a Star custom map flamed and taken down.
But the silver lining was that it was run by an admin with cheats.
“I get it now.”
I finally understood the purpose of the inventory and delivery functions.
[Opening inventory.]
[WARNING! VX GAS] - 10kg stored
The chemical weapon—a nerve agent VX—that I’d bought and stored in my inventory.
More infamous than sarin gas, the infamous skin-contact killer.
A insane poison gas that leads to instant death from mere skin contact or inhalation.
That chemical weapon was stored in my inventory in perfect condition.
“Normally, I wouldn’t even dream of using it...”
Truth be told, even handing out guns made me uneasy if even a single bullet went missing.
The anxiety of not knowing when or where it might be aimed at me.
Chemical weapons went without saying.
But through the level-up delivery function and the rifts, I realized something.
I’d gained an endless testing ground—one I could access with a single click from home.
“Click. Send.”
[Delivering VX GAS 10kg.]
[Destination: Kellirton northern plains rift.]
[Something is already occupying the delivery location! Proceed anyway?]
“Of course.”
[Delivery completed successfully!]
With a single button press, the VX gas vanished entirely from my inventory.
“Did it work?”
At first, there wasn’t much change.
I couldn’t observe beyond the rift anyway.
I waited quietly until wave time, and soon the rift began to open. But...
[Title: Fuck what is this really???]
(rift twisting bizarrely gif)
(monsters screaming, shoving each other as they flee gif)
- ?
- What, no seriously what
- Why are they like that?
- Looks like they’re fleeing some hellhole
The ripple effect was bigger than I’d imagined.
