Chapter 32: Person Who Wins Everything (2)

“I don’t know that . ”

“You don’t know? What about your old days as a sovereign?”

“To tell you the truth, it really isn’t that important . This place is literally an infinite world . ”

“Infinite world?”

“That’s right, Lord . I am a native dark elf warlock from the continent of Icaida . I have been a sovereign dozens of times but I still don’t know much about Hwanmong . ”

“It is possible to become a sovereign dozens of times?”

“Whenever a sovereign is defeated and becomes a shadow sovereign, they will go to a different world . Once they give someone the power of Hwanmong, there is a second chance . ”

“So you aren’t destroyed if you die?”

Keirun just smiled .

“I will now describe it in detail . In fact, a shadow sovereign doesn’t completely disappear even if they die . They will spend some long years in hell before being resurrected as a shadow sovereign . ”

“Hell?”

“It is a little different from the commonly known hell . Rather than for sin, it is a place to go after losing the war . ”

“So those defeated are sinners . ”

“Kukuk! That’s correct . Therefore, I absolutely recommend never going to hell . After being defeated, you will have to spend unimaginably long years in agony . Of course, I’ve been to hell a lot so I have methods to quickly escape . However, I will tell you those later . ”

Kang-jun shook his head .

“It doesn’t matter . ”

Right now there was no need to know about hell; it only mattered if he was defeated . He only needed to think about winning .

“Just tell me what I need to do to survive . ”

“I selected quite a few people on earth to receive the power of Hwanmong . ”

“There was such a thing?”

“Their start time is the same . In addition, they have the same capacity as a sovereign for management and war . ”

“So why did you throw the dice?”

At the time, he had thrown the dice of fate and received a coin with the word ‘management’ written on it .

“It is also the fate of the lord . The power of Hwanmong chose those with identical fates in order to make it fair . ”

Fair rules! Kang-jun thought it was fortunate and nodded .

He still had many questions, but he couldn’t know everything . The important thing now was to survive! If so, he needed to remove the immediate threat first .

“Tell me the locations of the other sovereigns in the area . ”

“Right over there . Sovereign Herod is in that building . ”

Keirun raised his hand and pointed to one side .

A five storey building a distance away .

‘That close?’

Surprisingly, it was only 50 metres away from the Dafeng building .

Kang-jun always passed it when going back and forth to the convenience store .

Yugang building . The 1st floor was a pub, the 2nd floor a hair salon, 3rd and 4th floors a plastic surgery clinic and the 5th floor was housing .

But there was another sovereign over there .

“There was a fellow shadow sovereign wandering around the building . Of course, I sent him to hell . ”

If so, the dead shadow sovereign must have been the one to give the power of Hwanmong to Herod . Naturally, the shadow sovereign was also aiming for Herod’s sovereign token like Keirun .

However, he died early on due to Keirun . As a result, Keirun had two choices .

Kang-jun or Sovereign Herod from the Yugang building . He could snatch the sovereign token from one of them .

Kang-jun was somewhat curious .

“Why did you pick me over Herod?”

Keirun made an expression like he was troubled .

“That…”

“Why did you deliberately aim for me? Did I look weaker?”

It was unavoidable, so Keirun scratched his head and said .

“Herod! He is the owner of the building . ”

“O-owner?”

He understood what was meant by the word owner .

Rent! Kang-jun lived in a goshiwon, so the owner of a building was in a completely different dimension . And wasn’t he a landlord in Gangnam?

Someone said this .

If he was born again, he would want to be the cat of a property owner in Gangnam! A cat meeting an owner like that would be the best fortune in the world . It was comparable to being the cat of a building owner in the Han River area .

Kang-jun stared at Keirun .

“That landlord is the reason why you aimed at me?”

“That’s right . I’m not sure if you know, but being the landlord of the building can amplify the effect of your territory . The amount of resources received will also vary . Having enormous resources will make your forces more powerful . On the other hand, a poor lord paying monthly rent…”

“Didn’t you say that the starting point is the same? Aren’t there rules for fairness?”

“In this world, everyone is born the same as a newborn baby . Unfortunately, the fairness ends here . After that, fairness moves far away . ”

“Shit! What are you trying to say?”

“In other words, all newborn babies have different parents . Their parents could have a lot of money or they could be poor . The sovereigns in Hwanmong also differ like this . Those sovereigns with money will find it easier to grow stronger in Hwanmong . If you still don’t understand this explanation then I can…”

“Stop . I have heard enough . ”

Kang-jun was in a lot of pain .

In reality, they were people who were born with a golden spoon . Now it was suggested that they also had an advantage here .

Damn! In the world of sovereigns, he would eventually feel some grief from not having a building .

“I won’t think about it too much . I just have to make money . Sooner or later, I will own a building . ”

“I hope that day comes quickly . I don’t want to see you dying to other sovereigns . Being a landlord will change everything . ”

“Anyway, I am currently at an overwhelming disadvantage . ”

“It was originally like that . But now it is different . ”

“It is different?”

“Lord has two advantages . ”

“What are they?”

“One is the senior ghost . ”

“Hayun?”

“That’s right . It is fortunate that you got such a powerful ghost in the early days . Such good luck isn’t normally given, even to the sovereigns with money . ”

“It is reassuring that I have Hayun . ”

Keirun nodded in agreement .

Hayun had been sent back to the real world . Unless there was a particularly pressing situation here, her main priority was to protect Kang-jun in Room 406 .

“So what is the other one?”

Keirun just laughed .

“It is me . ”

“Keirun?”

“Of course . Kuhuk! Compared to the senior ghost, you are even luckier to obtain me . ”

Kang-jun thought it was absurd that Keirun was praising himself .

“Are you that great?”

“I have been a sovereign dozens of times and gone through countless wars . Resources are beneficial in war, but they aren’t an absolute thing . Those who are strong will win . ”

Those who were strong would win .

That saying resonated in his chest .

Keirun just smiled .

“Now it is almost time for Lord to return to reality . Kuhuk! Please earn a lot of money . Quickly become a landlord . ”

[A ratigers has been summoned . ]

He received a message that a ratigers had been summoned to the barrack .

At the same time .

[Your time in the world of Hwanmong is over . ]

[The door to Hwanmong is closed . ]

‘He asked me to earn a lot of money . Quickly become a landlord . ’

Quickly become a landlord! Quickly become…

Keirun’s last words rang in his ears . Kang-jun screamed as he woke up .

“I understand! I will do it . I will!”

Hayun stared down at Kang-jun with wide eyes .

“Do what? What is it?”

Kang-jun laughed and said .

“A landlord! I need to earn enough money to become a landlord and get more benefits in the war . ”

Hayun sighed .

“Yes, it is like that . This building will be very expensive . This is Gangnam . ”

“I guess so . Anyway, I will go visit the realtor’s office to learn more . ”

In fact, he didn’t want to learn more . He knew he would feel more desperate after hearing the amount .

“Then I will lend a hand . ”

“How?”

“At the very least, I can look around . ”

Kang-jun’s chest heated up . He was thankful that Hayun was willing to help him .

“Thank you for worrying . ”

“Then shall I go play in the 3rd floor PC Room? Or I can get a part time job at the coffee shop on the 2nd floor . No . There is a lot more money working at the karaoke bar…”

“Hey! It’s okay . I will earn the money . You don’t have to worry about money . ”

Kang-jun snapped out . No matter how much money she could earn, he didn’t want Hayun to work at the karaoke bar . It was a karaoke bar that also had room salons .

“Don’t worry, I can do it . ”

“You don’t know what troubles can happen in the karaoke bar . Don’t you know what type of place it is?”

“Are you concerned that I will be molested? It isn’t a concern . I will break the wrists of anyone who lays a hand on my body . Is that okay?”

Hayun asked like she expected something .

He didn’t know what she expected .

Come to think of it, there was no need to worry about Hayun . Rather, he should be worried about the customers . And Hayun would beat up anyone who tried to pull her into a room .

“Anyway, you can go and earn money whenever I’m not sleeping . ”

“I will work hard, and I don’t need sleep . ”

Hayun didn’t require any sleep .

If he left it like this, she really might go and work at the karaoke bar . He had occupied the entire Dafeng building last night, so now Hayun could move around it in a human state .

‘I don’t know what incident might occur . I would rather let her work in the PC Room . ’

At night she needed to protect Kang-jun, so a daytime part time job would be ideal .

“Go get a part time job at the PC Room during the day . Got it?”

“Yes . ”

It was 6 . 30 a . m . when he checked his watch .

Kang-jun took a shower before heading to his stall .

It was just a quick wash and he headed towards K Traditional Market after eating breakfast .

At that location, he used his power to sell socks .

A profit of 1 . 32 million . The average profit had dropped by 200,000 won compared to the last three days . This was because he offered the socks at reduced prices .

Instead, he managed to finish selling at 5 . 30 p . m . Usually the earliest he would close was 8 p . m . and sometimes he continued until 10 p . m .

Shortly afterwards, Kang-jun arrived in front of the Dafeng building . Instead of heading to the 4th floor, he entered the real estate office on the 1st floor .

“Welcome . ”

The realtor Kim Seok-cheol, a man in his late 40s and wearing a black suit, greeted Kang-jun .

“Please sit on this couch . Hahaha, is it hot? Is iced coffee okay?”

“Yes . ”

Why was he so friendly? Kim Seok-cheol’s attitude had completely changed from when he came to check the rent of a studio near here .

He was treating Kang-jun like a VIP . Did it have something to do with capturing the realtor’s office last night? There was no doubt . Otherwise, his attitude wouldn’t have completely changed overnight .

Anyway, this was great . It would be easier to get the information he wanted .

Kang-jun sipped the coffee and asked .

“Can I know the price for the Dafeng building?”

Kim Seok-cheol instantly checked his monitor and said .

“The selling price for this building is approximately 2 . 8 billion won . ”

“……!”

2 . 8 billion! 2 . 8 billion won .
