Rise Of The Hoarder

“Jackpot!”

I beamed, as I watched the sight before me unfold.

After deciding to scavenge whatever I could find in this apartment, I explored the stranger’s home.

This place was neater than I expected, with everything arranged in an orderly fashion.

With two rooms, similar to my own, the home didn’t bear any resemblance to the one I grew up in.

It was almost unbelievable, but I suppose it’s just my stroke of luck.

The fridge was stocked full of various delicacies; Meat, Fish, Eggs, Veggies… The whole thing!

“Looks like this guy was quite the nutritionist.”

My eyes darted to dozen bottles of milk all stacked together. Quickly reaching for one, I uncovered it and downed the bottle, taking in the whole contents in mere gulps.

“Ahhhhh” I let out relieved.

How long has it been since I’ve had milk, or any decent meal at that?

Since I appeared in this hellish world, I’ve been conserving food like crazy, most of which are junks.

But, this place is different. Many ingredients and spices, coupled with a whole assortment of cooking utensils and home appliances.

“Look at these knives… What an impressive collection.” I remarked.

There’s even a butcher’s knife among them… These will be quite useful.

To think this person’s house was going to be left like this until everything here rotted or became destroyed in fiery explosions.

“Ah, what a waste that would have been!” I said to myself._.

It’s a good thing that this person also had a backup power supply. His fridge still has fairly cool air within it. This can only mean that it had been functional until recently.

“Too bad the backup power source must be out of juice already… That could have been useful” I grinned.

But this is perfect. If these foods hadn’t been preserved, they would have rotted by now and that would have been disappointing.

But they won’t remain in their fresh state for long. Now that the power was gone, the food will slowly begin to spoil.

“We can’t have that, now can we?” I grinned.

“[Subspace]”

The blue window glimmered as it displayed its contents before me.

There’s my sharpened metal rods, stacks of different food, clothes, water, toolbox, and Demon Cores.

I intentionally left two empty slots in my [Subspace] because of situations like this.

They were initially three, but Demon Cores have currently occupied one.

“Two more slots left… That’s plenty!”

I stacked up the fridge with the foodstuff I found in the home, but as expected it couldn’t take everything in.

If I place them individually in [Subspace], my slots will run out quickly. Since foods differ from each other, they won’t stack up like other similar items.

But, if I put them all in a single contraption and place that into [Subspace], it makes storing items more efficient.

Even then, there were so many things leftover, and the contraptions available to me were in no way large enough to contain everything I needed to collect.

“It looks like I won’t be able to collect everything here… Shit!” I grumbled in frustration.

There’s no use in complaining about something beyond my control. I should just take what I can.

Prioritizing highly essential foods and bottled water, I emptied the supplies of the house and filled up my [Subspace] until no more room was left.

[Subspace Alert]

<Subspace is filled up. No additional material can be placed within this space>

“Ah, looks like this is the limit.”

If only this shitty Gift had more room!

As though my [Subspace] read my mind, a surprising icon appeared in front of me. My eyes bulged as I read its content.

[Do You Want To Increase SubSpace Capacity?]

[Yes] [No]

Duh, obviously I do!

“Is that even possible?” I asked myself, staring at the screen.

Unlike my stats and skills, [Subspace] showed no way to increase its level.

I had initially thought its level would rise as my Level did, but even after reaching Level 10, my [Subspace] remained in its shitty F rank.

But, with this window showing me this question, that meant there was another way to improve my Gift. I should see what it’s about.

I tapped on the [Yes] icon, hoping to see good news concerning the window’s inquiry.

A <Loading> icon was displayed on the screen as I patiently waited for the results.

<(G) Karma Points available are sufficient for increasing Subspace Capacity>

<Do you wish to Proceed?>

“(G) Karma Points?!” I exclaimed, suddenly raising my voice.

I quickly cautioned myself, and looked around cautiously to see if I had roused any attention.

Fortunately, my voice did not attract any Demon or person.

Upon calming myself I stared at the window again in surprise.

Why didn’t I think of this? Perhaps it’s because I never saw anyone use it when I watched the world’s early days of destruction.

“Status Window” I quickly called out to confirm my suspicion.

A grin formed on my face as my hands moved to accept the procedure.

The Blue window instantly displayed a new set of information in front of me. The unbelievable possibilities I never knew existed were now laid bare before me.

Why wasn’t there a tutorial to explain these things?! I wish I had known earlier that things would turn out this way.

But, there’s no use thinking about that now. At this point, I can’t help but feel excited!
