Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 17
Advertisement
Taking the book from the shelf, he found a quiet place to sit nearby and started reading. He took his time to slowly read the book line-by-line, understanding all the major events which occurred in the world, like the invention of vehicles, the first aeroplane, the invention of electricity, and many more events. As he read, he became more astonished at how vast the world's history was.
Time quickly passed away, and he finished the book as the sun went down and the library's lights were turned on. He stood up after a long time and looked out a nearby window and saw it was already dark. He placed back the book and walked towards the entrance. It was already 7, and he wanted to go back home.
The middle-aged woman was still behind the counter as she walked up to her. She looked up and asked, "Are you not taking out any book?"
He shook his head, "No, I'm fine. Do you need me to sign anywhere?"
She waved her hands and replied, "No, you need to sign only if you take a book out." He nodded and made his way out of the library.
He looked up at the dark clouds and mumbled, "This world is so different. The turning point of both worlds goes way back to before humans even had a stronghold on this planet. It changed with the death of dinosaurs. Our world acquired the ability to produce its own magic particles for people to practice magic, but this world didn't have anything like that."
He started walking back towards his apartment and continued to mumble, "But people of this world are much stronger intellectually. They found out ways to do things like fly, even without magic. Compared to this world people from back there are much dumber and can be considered brutes."

"This world also has a better ruling system. The people were able to overthrow the kingdoms in the past and even establish their own system called the government. This way the country is ruled by themselves indirectly by exercising their voting rights. No one was able to go against us and our kingdom back there. But we could be considered one of the better rulers compared to other ones in the past."
"This world also only had 3 wars they termed as world wars. The last world war was only a few decades ago against two countries, one from the east and one from the west. There are only 4 continents in this world, two on the west and two on the east. I am currently in a country in the east called Ulyss. One of the more powerful countries in the east under the continent Corlea. . The other continents were Yorisa in the east and in the west were Armihia and the other was Rainen Nation."
"Now I have a basic understanding of this world. This is good enough for now." nodding his head, he looked around and saw he was already near his apartment.
As he was about to continue, he heard his stomach rumble. Remembering that he only had a burger for lunch and a sandwich as a snack, he couldn't help but look around for any stores to eat. He didn't have any ingredients at home and didn't have any energy to buy something and cook after he goes home. Luckily, there was one convenience store across the street.
Crossing the street carefully, he got into the store and looked around to see rows of items. He made his way towards the food section and decided to eat something unhealthy and fulfilling. He went across the ramen section, not taking any risk with the weird flavors he picked up the chicken and continued on. He picked a few rice balls and went to the counter.

The guy at the counter looked at his items and asked, "Do you want to eat the ramen here?" pointing at the microwave behind him. Joon-won nodded and took out his wallet to give the guy money and noticed he only had a 100 kros note. Kros was the universally accepted currency, and every country on all 4 continents uses them.
"How much are the times?" he asked cautiously, hoping it's below 100. The guy turned around and said, "Oh! It's 60." making him sigh in relief.
It wouldn't look good if he took out anything with the few items he was trying to buy. He took out the last 100 note and gave it to him. The guy quickly poured some hot water into the ramen cup before closing the lid and passing it back to him with the remaining change.
Joon-won went outside and sat on the bench right in front of the store to have his food. He kept the ramen cup to the side to let it do its work and whipped out his phone. He wanted to check how much money he had left. Looking through the old Joon-won's memories, it seemed like the guy used up the money his father gave for two years in only half of its time.
As he opened his bank app and went to see its balance, it did not shock him to see the amount left. He had exactly 1000 kros left. It was nowhere enough to get him through the summer where he might have to travel around the city a lot.
"This bastard left the body for me in the worst way possible. No proper role, not enough money, such a useless son. Now I can't even ask his dad. I don't know him properly and even though it was not me who spent it, I am ashamed to ask any amount of money." he couldn't help but curse a dead man.
"I need to get a job, at least until I land a proper acting role. I need to get one this week." and started eating the noodles. He quickly went through the noodles and rice balls he brought before looking around for a trash can.
He found one at the entrance and stood up to throw the waste. As he threw the waste, he looked up to see a flyer on the wall. All he saw on the flyer was 'Looking for employees'. That was enough to catch his attention.
