Chapter 51: Red Moon Rising (1)

The next morning at 6:30 a . m .

Kang-jun woke up from Hwanmong and immediately entered the shower .

Swaaah-

If he looked into a full length mirror, a perfect muscular man could be seen .

‘Huhu, I gained two levels so my body feels refreshed . ’

A marble bathtub . A garish golden basin . There was a small sauna on one side .

The bathroom alone was five or six times larger than the goshiwon .

It was a luxurious life that he never would have imagined in the past .

‘It definitely is good to have money . ’

It was awkward having his lifestyle suddenly improved but Kang-jun decided to naturally accept it .

It wasn’t a gift, but something he obtained from Hwanmong .

There was no need to be awkward about it . He also didn’t feel sorry towards Jung Kwang-hyeon .

Kang-jun defeated him and won . These were the benefits given to the winner .

If not, it would be unfair if he was defeated at a later time . Of course, Kang-jun wasn’t thinking about defeat .

Unconditional victory!

He would become the strongest sovereign and survive all 100 missions .

After taking a shower, Kang-jun entered the living room wearing a gown .

Tak tak tak tak! Seug seug seug seug!

Hayun was cooking something in the kitchen .

"Hand me that, Colt . ”

“Yes, Hayun-nim . ”

Colt was acting as Hayun’s assistant .

They looked like ordinary people but were actually ghosts .

Both of them could become humans in Kang-jun’s territory .

However, Kang-jun was happy about it . Despite them being ghosts who pretended to be human, it felt good to have people greeting him in this spacious house .

Today was a market holiday that occurred once a month . It was also a day off for Kang-jun .

Kang-jun was contemplating what to do when his gaze suddenly fixed on the TV .

"Today is the success story about a genius in stocks! I am with Yoo Seung-hwan who represents Legend Stags . Representative Yoo Seung-hwan-nim! Finally, please say something to the investors and prospective investors looking at this program . "

"The stock market is more about survival than hitting the jackpot first . Don’t be greedy and stick to the basics . If you survive then you have a chance to succeed . ”

The man gave off a cold impression that seemed like he wouldn’t bleed even when stabbed with a needle . He was Yoo Seung-hwan .

He had more than 100 billion in stock investments and bought buildings .

“Hahaha! Indeed . Survival is important for investment in stocks . And there is a need to stick to the basics! By the what, what are the basics Representative Yoo Seung-hwan-nim?”

"Of course, you need to study . Stocks investment is a comprehensive art that combines various economic knowledge . If you want to learn the basics then please knock on the door of Legend Stags . We hold consultations about investments once a week . ”

"Well, did you hear it? Don’t miss the opportunity for an investment consultation with Yoo Seung-hwan of Legend Stags . This was Kim Sang-hyun . ”

The program ended .

‘He isn’t even a celebrity . ’

Yoo Seung-hwan’s eyes were eerie like a serpent .

He gave off the impression of a hyena .

Kang-jun sat on the couch and used his smartphone to search up Yoo Seung-hwan .

A cold and sharp expression! A man thoroughly concerned with self-management! A careful investor!

He looked good and gained a lot of popularity, as many people came to Legend Stags to learn his know-how .

And there were many who said that his advice caused them to succeed in the stock market .

‘A really great person . ’

If Jung Kwang-hyeon was a flower born in a greenhouse, Yoo Seung-hwan was a self-made golden spoon .

In addition, he was a sovereign!

He would be a powerful enemy . He was a perfect sovereign .

However, there was a bizarre question that formed in Kang-jun’s mind .

He could feel something from Yoo Seung-hwan! In other words, he emitted the strong smell of a scammer .

It was something that Kang-jun couldn’t explain, he just sensed it .

Was it due to the recent rise in his intelligence stat?

But it was up to there . Kang-jun couldn’t catch the specifics . If he knew about stocks or the economy then he might have been able to pinpoint it .

He knew absolutely nothing about them . Kang-jun liked exercising more than studying .

'Should I go do a little bit of reading?’

Keirun’s words suddenly entered his head . Reading could raise the rating of his management skill . In addition, many useful things could be obtained .

Rather than doing business directly in the future, he would hire talented people in order to secure time to read!

His advice to Kang-jun was to not only increase his power as a sovereign, but also to increase his intellect .

Kang-jun felt like he was right .

He would start today since it was a day off .

‘Yes . I will go to the library . ’

Above all, he needed to know about his opponent in order to win the war .

Yoo Seung-hwan, who was a genius with stocks!

Even if Kang-jun didn’t have any stocks, he needed at least some knowledge about them .

“Now~! Breakfast is ready . ”

“Welcome Lord . The menu is omurice . It is the first time I’ve seen it but it looks delicious . ”

“Oh! Omurice? Hayun knows how to make this?”

"Take a bite . You'll be surprised . "

“Haha! Thank you . I will eat it well . Colt, go ahead and eat . ”

“Heheh! Thank you . ”

Kang-jun finished a delightful breakfast with Colt and Hayun .

And he finished his preparations to leave .

He was going to take the bus or subway but suddenly remembered that he had a car . He grabbed the keys and headed to the underground parking lot .

‘I don’t need this car . I’ll just ride it for the moment . ’

A sleek body! A gleaming black foreign car!

It was the same car that the owner of the convenience store, Lee Jeong-sook’s husband was driving .

A Venta S class was a symbol of the rich in Gangnam .

Kang-jun had been so envious at the time . Now that car was right in front of him .

Kkirik!

Kang-jun started the car after entering .

Burung!

He almost never drove after receiving his driver’s license, but he surprisingly got used to it quickly .

Originally he had a natural athletic body and this rose sharply after gaining more agility . He struggled with things like changing lanes but quickly adapted .

‘Huhu, I didn’t expect that I would be going to the library with a foreign car . ’

After a while, he reached Seocho-dong National Library .

Kang-jun parked the car in the parking lot .

The gazes of the people nearby fixated on him . The females were looking at Kang-jun in a very favourable manner .

It was because of the foreign car .

It wasn't a bad feeling . Those who had a lot of money looked good .

It wasn’t just the expensive foreign car but the mysterious feeling that his silver hair gave off .

‘Wah! Venta S class . ’

‘Omo! He looks like a celebrity . Really handsome . ’

Kang-jun left the females behind and entered the social science reading room .

He blindly picked out a few books about stocks .

Ilbong . Wolbong . PER . Financial analysis . . .

They contained words he didn’t know but the amazing thing was that he remembered them all!

It was also surprising that he could read at such a high speed . It was like speed reading .

So it was a lot of fun . By evening, he had read all four books .

The eyes of Kang-jun who exited the reading room were different from that morning .

'This is the stock market . ’

A system that allowed stocks of a listed company to be traded freely .

That was the stock market .

One of the four books was a realistic description of the stock market .

However, the rest told cheats about how to succeed in the stock market . If those methods were followed then there would be success .

However, everyone would be making money from stocks if it was that easy . What was the reason that most failed?

In other words, the contents of the books seemed unrealistic to Kang-jun . The authors just wrote glib words in order to sell books .

That’s why he smelt the scent of a scammer from Yoo Seung-hwan . He couldn’t figure out the method yet but he was probably making money by tricking people .

Kang-jun gained some amazing insight from reading .

The surge in intelligence exerted its power through reading .

‘Yes . Keirun is correct . I should read a lot of books . ’

Kang-jun thought it was a great idea to come to the library today .

‘I need to make a book cafe on the 4th floor of the Dafeng building . ’

After creating the book cafe, he would use the Draw Customers skill regularly . The employees would take care of the guests and Kang-jun would be able to read his books without hesitation .

Study and make money .

A two for one .

The head office of Legend Stags on the 5th floor of the Seyoung building .

Knock knock .

"Come in . "

Choi Yoon-kyung, a female secretary in her 20s entered Yoo Seung-hwan’s room .

"As you pointed out, I have looked for a place where the owner has suddenly changed through a gift . The Yugang and Dafeng buildings are a little unusual . The owner of the Yugang building, Jung Kwang-hyeon just recently bought the Dafeng building only to suddenly pass everything to someone called Lee Kang-jun . Currently, the Yugang and Dafeng buildings are owned by Lee Kang-jun . ”

“Lee Kang-jun? Who is he?”

"He lived in a goshiwon and had a part time job at a convenience store . One of his legs was injured but now it is fine . ”

Yoo Seung-hwan’s eyes shone with a cold expression .

"Good work . You can go . ”

"Yes, Boss-nim . ”

Choi Yoon-kyung exited the room while Yoo Seung-hwan looked through the report .

‘There is no doubt . A sovereign who won a war . One person was defeated and the other one received everything . ’

Gifting property among family members wasn’t a concern . He was interested in someone completely unexpected receiving a building .

‘Jung Kwang-hyeon of the Yugang building . He lost . To the person called Lee Kang-jun . It is hard to believe when looking at this . A poor person won over a building owner like Jung Kwang-hyeon?'

Yoo Seung-hwan shook his head . If he was in the same situation, would he be able to win over Jung Kwang-hyeon?

‘I can’t take him lightly . I have to step on him before he gets bigger . I’ll grab both his buildings . ’

There was a meaningful smile on Yoo Seung-hwan’s face .

Two days later in Hwanmong .

Kang-jun looked at his current troops before going to occupy the neighbouring buildings .

The Yugang and Dafeng buildings had become his territory so he could summon troops at an unprecedented speed .

Two golem ratigers .

72 giant ratian warriors .

12 giant dark wolves .

The intermediate gnomes, gnomes and general ratians were victims of the battle, so now the giant ratian warriors were the main troops .

He had seven stage 3 barracks that could accommodate 210 troops .

There were still troops being summoned .

“Did you summon wolves?”

“I intend to turn some giant ratian warriors into wolf riders . They can be used for various operations . ”

“Wolf riders? Cool . ”

“Huhu, you can expect a lot Lord . ”

Kang-jun felt vaguely reassured as he thought of giant ratian warriors riding wolves . The pleased smile never left Keirun’s face .

"Yes, what happened to Kajel?”

"Kajel was able to recover his previous abilities by eating two Essence of Darkness . ”

"He becomes stronger by eating the Essence of Darkness?”

"I tried to feed him one more but the rise in capabilities was minimal . ”

"Then save the Essence of Darkness . ”

“Yes . I also think that as well . ”

It was at that moment .

"Emergency! It is the enemy . ”

“The enemy has appeared . ”

A spherical clone of Kajel, who was standing guard on the rooftop of the building, cried out in a loud voice . At the same time, a slime in the shape of a human ran in front of Kang-jun .

“Lord! A huge army is coming right now . ”

The slime man was none other than Kajel . He took a human-like appearance after recovering his power .

“The enemy? A tycoon?”

Both Kang-jun and Keirun were surprised .

A sudden raid by an enemy .

Kang-jun immediately looked at the situation using the 3D map .

There were two minotaurs in the lead!

Following behind them were orcs holding greatswords .

Cheok cheok cheok cheok!

There seemed to be hundreds of orcs .

That wasn’t all . After that, he saw a few orcs holding spears .

Keirun paled as soon as he saw them .

"Orc greatsword warriors! Orc spearmen!”

"Are they strong?”

"They are equivalent to the giant ratian warriors . But the problem is the ones behind them . "

Keirun pointed to 30 orcs in dark robes that were in the rear .

“Orc shamans . ”

At present, only Kajel and Rodiam could use magic . It was a situation where his magical troops were inferior .

At that time, a minotaur in the vanguard ran forward quickly . All the other troops were standing still .

"Waaaaah!"

The minotaur raised a battle axe and roared .

“Kukakakaka! I am here on behalf of Sovereign Hardis-nim . Does someone from Sovereign Lucan’s camp dare come out to fight with me?”

Then the ogre Germuz roared .

“Kuwaaaaaah!”

In the meantime, Germuz and the giant ratian warriors had been gathered in front of the Dafeng building .

As soon as Germuz’s roar was heard, the orcs and minotaurs looked surprised .

“Kukuk! Where is the stupid minotaur spouting nonsense?”

Germuz rushed towards the minotaur and aimed the Gale Gauntlets .

The minotaur spat on the floor and wielded the battle axe furiously .

Kwakwang! Kakang!

The axe and gauntlets clashed .

Their strengths were similar . However, Germuz’s speed was much faster . He unleashed a storm-like barrage against the minotaur’s face .

Bam bam bam –

The minotaur was instantly changed into a bloody mess . The battle axe fell to the ground .

“Kukuk! Is this the extent of your skills? Drop dead!”

Germuz aimed his one of his gauntlets as hard as he could for the final blow .

Swiik!

It was at that moment . The minotaur suddenly laughed and stretched out one hand to block the gauntlet . At the same time, the other hand was used to lift Germuz’s body .

"Kukuku!”

What was going on? The height of the minotaur increased by two metres . The muscles of his entire body swelled and madness flashed in the eyes .

“Kakakakat!”

Kwatang!

“Keoooook!”

The minotaur threw Germuz onto the ground . He grabbed Germuz’s head and pounded his fists into it .

Bam bam bam –

Germuz became bloody in an instant . Keirun trembled as he saw the scene through the 3D map .

“Unbelievable! That is a berserk mode, Lord!”

However, Kang-jun wasn’t next to Keirun anymore .

He had ran out of the base the moment Germuz was grabbed by the minotaur .

"Remove your hand . I will deal with you . ”

The minotaur just laughed at Kang-jun’s shout .

“Kukakakaka! Wait your turn, young bastard . I will deal with you after killing this ogre . ”

The minotaur once again aimed a fist at Germuz .

At that moment .

Flash!

The body of the minotaur trembled . He looked at Kang-jun with disbelief .

“Kuook!”

A horrifying scream . And that was the end .

From the minotaur’s head to his crotch . He was literally cut in half .
