A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - Chapter 82: (1)

As Kaiyan left the Carsia Castle and headed towards the Havinel Territory marked on the map, Rieka, who had been in Kaiyan’s pouch, poked her head out.

[Kaiyan, have you decided on a name for the horse?]

“Hmm… Since it’s a black horse, how about ‘Blackie’? Or maybe something stylish like ‘Black Knight’? Nah, it doesn’t really suit a horse’s name. Blackie it is then.”

“[You’re joking, right?]”

Kaiyan hadn’t put much thought into the horse’s name, but Rieka looked at him with a disgusted expression.

“Blackie, from now on, this is your name.”

[I’m just grateful to have a name. I almost became Whitey.]

Kaiyan petted Blackie’s head and spoke. Blackie seemed to quite like the name, judging by the rough snort he made. Of course, it could just be Kaiyan’s imagination.

After riding Blackie for about two hours, the sky darkened, and the stars began to appear.

“I think we should take a rest here, Blackie.”

Kaiyan said as he gently pulled on the reins, and Blackie seemed to understand, gradually slowing down.

[Since you’re taking a break, how about entering the pocket dimension?]

“The Lesser Dimensional Cube?”

“[Yes! You should check out what’s inside the cube.]”

“Hmm… Do I really need to check it out right now?”

In reality, Kaiyan had some apprehension about entering the pocket dimension, so he wanted to postpone it as much as possible.

Entering a pocket dimension meant going into a separate space, not just moving to another location on the Eunasia Continent. Kaiyan couldn’t help but worry about what might happen if something went wrong.

“[It’s fine! Have you ever been disappointed by the items sold in the store?]”

“Well, that’s true, but…”

“[Come on, come on! Put your hand on the cube and say ‘activate’ already!]”

With a reluctant hand, Kaiyan placed it on the cube, and Rieka gave him a bright-eyed look as if urging him to hurry.

“Activate?”

Woosh!

As Kaiyan uttered the word, the world around him grew even darker, and for a moment, he couldn’t see anything, even though his eyes were open.

All he could feel was the saddle under him and Blackie beneath him.

“What the… Rieka, where are we?”

Woosh!

As Kaiyan called out to Rieka in surprise, the world suddenly brightened again, revealing their surroundings.

“Hehe! This is the pocket dimension! But maybe I should set up an entrance next time. It’s uncomfortable when everything goes dark like that!”

Kaiyan, startled by the sudden change, took a moment to look around.

It was a square room, not particularly large. At best, it could accommodate five people comfortably.

One curious thing was that the walls of the room were semi-transparent. However, when Kaiyan tried to look outside through the transparent walls, there was nothing strange to see. The walls were definitely semi-transparent, but there was no visible exterior beyond them, an odd phenomenon.

“Huh… This place is strange.”

Was it because he had high expectations, or was it because of the fear he had felt when he first entered a pocket dimension? In any case, Kaiyan felt disappointed by the actual pocket dimension.

[What are you saying! Do you know how much effort I put into this? Kaiyan, do you know how difficult it is to make a room square in a pocket dimension?]

“…Is that so?”

[Moreover, creating an atmosphere similar to the Eunasia Continent and maintaining it was no small feat! Even a slight deviation could cause a huge problem!]

Kaiyan couldn’t fully understand half of what Rieka was saying, but he could tell that the creator had put a lot of effort into creating the pocket dimension.

“Okay, thanks, Rieka. I misspoke. It seems Blackie likes it here too.”

Blackie, who had been making rough snorts, had now calmed down and was standing quietly.

‘You’re better at this than I am.’

Descending from Blackie’s back, Kaiyan reached out and touched the wall of the room. As he did so, he felt a strange sensation that he couldn’t quite describe. It was soft yet firm, with an unusual texture.

[Now, this place will be your resting spot, Kaiyan! So, let’s use the store to decorate it!]

“Decorate this place? And use the store for it?”

Kaiyan wasn’t unaware of Rieka’s hard work, but he couldn’t help but wonder if he really needed to spend G-points to decorate a pocket dimension. After all, wasn’t this place meant to be a temporary resting spot?

[To increase efficiency, you see. You could go outside and buy the necessary items, but they won’t match the effects of the items from the player’s shop. First, listen to me and buy a bed! You can find beds in the furniture section!]

“Alright… Since Rieka worked hard, I can buy at least that. Shop.”

With the thought of buying something to repay Rieka for her efforts, Kaiyan opened the shop and found the furniture section, where he was greeted by a list of dozens of detailed items.

‘Hmm… Here it is, the bed.’

When he opened the list of beds at the very end.

[Bed: Low-tier Sweet Dreams Bed, High-tier Bunk Bed,…]

‘…Why are there so many types of beds?’

Kaiyan had thought that beds were simply different in size, but apparently, that wasn’t the case.

Unable to decide which one to choose, he hesitated. At that moment, Rieka, who had been looking at the shop window next to him, pointed to the Low-tier Sweet Dreams Bed with her front paw.

[I think this one is good! It’s only 100G, so the price is reasonable!]

“…Let’s purchase the Low-tier Sweet Dreams Bed.”

He decided to buy it, even though he wasn’t sure when 100G had become a reasonable price.

[Hurry up and take it out!]

At Rieka’s urging, he opened the storage and took out the bed, placing it in a corner of the room.

The appearance of the Sweet Dreams Bed was, well, quite ordinary. It looked like a typical bed you would find in an inn.

Rieka, who checked the bed, climbed onto it with a satisfied expression, rolling around happily.

“Well… If Rieka is satisfied.”

[Kaiyan, come over here!]

“Alright.”

At Rieka’s urging, Kaiyan approached the bed and lay down.

‘…What’s this?’

As soon as he lay on the bed, his energy surged. It was more like a feeling of recovering some of the stamina that had been worn out from riding.

[How’s that?]

“What’s going on with this… Is it an illusion?”

[Hehe! Did I tell you to buy a 100G bed from the player’s shop for no reason? Items from the player’s shop are worth their price!]

“A bed that recovers stamina… That’s impressive.”

He wondered why he was suddenly feeling more energetic after lying on the bed.

Of course, the Sweet Dreams Bed didn’t recover a significant amount of stamina. It was more like a subtle rejuvenation.

But what if he slept in this bed for a few hours? After all, sleep was meant to last for several hours, right? In that case, it meant that he could recover a lot of stamina by sleeping in this bed.

“Rieka, are there more items like this in the player’s shop?”

[Of course! But it’s not advisable to spend more G-points here… It’s better to save them for when you earn more!]

A new goal had emerged.

Filling this space, which could be considered small with furniture from the player’s shop.

As he lay on the bed, closing his eyes, sleep gently crept in.
