《Astral Land》Chapter 37 Ambushed
Advertisement
Reno counted a pile of money in a bag with uncle Rudi in the office.
"Right, sir, everything is 200 million," Reno said with a smile.
"You should be careful when taking that much money; you better save it in the bank," uncle Rudi gave advice.
"Noted uncle, after this, I immediately will go to the bank," said Reno.
After the transaction was complete, Reno left uncle Rudi's diamond shop, then headed straight to the nearest bank, but then stopped.
Reno just realized, one of the requirements to open an account in the real world was the need to own an identity card, he could only get the card after he was 17 years old.
If he wants to keep forcing himself to open an account, then he must involve his parents.
Reno then did not proceed with the bank but instead went around the Mall.
Reno had thought about buying some clothes.
He suddenly canceled to do so because both his parents would be suspicious of the origin of the money used to obtain the clothes.
"I have to design a plan so that my parents and neighbors don't suspect my money," Reno muttered to himself.
It must be strange if Reno just became rich, especially without being able to explain the origin of his wealth.
Therefore, Reno planned a reason that made sense.
Reno finally plans to open his own business. This business will later become a reasonable excuse for the surrounding population and their parents why he became rich.
The ideal reason, according to Reno, is to open its own diamond shop business to cover the origin of diamonds from the astral land in his hand.
Reno then plans to form a fake figure as his business partner, the wealthy merchant, whom he mentioned earlier to uncle Rudi as a supplier of diamonds in his business.

In his plan, this wealthy merchant then invited Reno to work together to form a business of buying and selling diamonds.
The wealthy merchant also owns his mine, and Reno is given the role to market and sell it.
"Ok, I think my plan makes sense," Reno muttered to himself.
Reno then went to the bookshop to look for books on the legal and business aspects of the business establishment.
The reason why Reno was looking for the book was that he was entirely blind to the legal aspects and management of the company.
Reno planned to devour the books he had bought through the ability of his subtle body.
"How much is the total, miss?" I asked the bookshop cashier.
"Everything is 200,000 young man," said the cashier.
Reno took out 200,000 from the bags he held.
When he opened the bag, a pile of red money was seen by several visitors near Reno standing.
Seeing the pile of money in the bag, the people behind Reno looked glaring; even the cashier girl was surprised by the collection of money in the bag.
After paying, Reno then walked out of the bookstore.
From inside the bookstore, three people then appeared to follow Reno from behind.
Reno was not aware of the existence of these three people.
After leaving the shop, he then went to the "Food Court" inside the Mall to eat.
Reno returned the same action when paying the cash to the cashier.
The young man took 100,000 from the bag and then handed over the money to the food cashier.
When he opened the bag, a pile of red money was again seen by several visitors near Reno standing.
Three people who had been following Reno from behind also saw the contents inside the bag.

In the afternoon, remembering his mother's promise, Reno returned to use public transportation from the city to the village.
Reno was unaware that there would be three people who had been stalking Reno from behind were riding along with him on the bus.
During the trip, Reno fell asleep until finally, he reached the public transport terminal near the village.
He walked towards the Bintang village.
Before entering the village, Reno had to pass through thick forest before finally reaching the remote area.
When Reno began to enter the forest, that's when Reno realized that there were three people following him quietly from behind.
"Looks like someone wants to rob me," Reno said to himself.

Knight and Deserter
The year is 1039 of Autorm, and nothing has changed. The Knight Seekers still patrol the old highways, death is common in life, and justice is but an afterthought. Power is the unspoken truth, wealth is a means to an end. Anything else becomes irrelevant. The novel takes place in the fictional Kingdom of Spartha. The story revolves mainly around the adventure of two characters. Leondre vae Marras, the fourth son of a Marquis. A prodigy in the Royal Military Academy, and aspiring Knight-errant. Albeit he's still a teenager, naive, and also inexperienced with the outside world. He is also one of the few knights to take the code of Chivalry seriously. Then there's Cendric Forrester, the bastard of a decorated Knight. Sold off in servitude to the Order of the Knights Seeker, to unwillingly pay his mothers debt. He's tired of being the Orders pet hound. Ruthless to those standing in his way, and disillusioned with Chivalry and the world around him. Cendric is a survivor, and firmly believes one should have their own self interests in mind. Two opposites of a coin, the only thing they have in common besides their ire for each other is blood. They're cousins surprisingly, not that it really matters.

Fantasma, leader of the global government, and his colleagues are determined to find cause of these attacks. but the search for answers points them to an ancient relic, The Book of War, a cursed artifact that can create indestructible creatures loyal to its master. It’s been over twelve thousand years since the Book of War was last opened. It was believed to be destroyed during the Great War by the Twelve Warriors and Daughter of the Sun at the cost of their lives. Now, it seems the book has resurfaced, and its new master is seeking to forever tip the balance of power. The stage is being set for another Great War but who can stop the Book of War once and for all? Meanwhile on Earth, the teen members of Greengale’s Action and Adventure Club are preparing for their yearly trip when they suddenly stumble upon a secret their parents have been keeping for years. Now their world is being turned upside down as they struggle to understand the legacy that ties their fate to Mendala and the Book of War. Is their destiny set in stone, or will they forge a different path? No matter what, their choices will bring forth a new era for Mendala. ------------------------------ If you love vast fantasy worlds, rich, fleshed-out characters, and a adventure where your'e constantly discovering new things along the way, then this is definitely a story you'll enjoy. This is a slow-burn high fantasy / adventure with many characters and intersecting plotlines. It’s a quest so lots of adventuring, exploring, and character moments, but not a ton of fighting/action (though there are definitely some great fight scenes as payoff to the buildup). Because it’s a fantasy world with lots of people and new concepts, I try to make it easy so that you don’t have to memorize anything. The narrative will constantly remind you of important people/places/concepts as you keep moving forward. Some things won’t be fully explained right at the beginning to avoid information overload. My goal is that the reader will learn things organically as the story progresses. I use two mechanisms to help with the intersecting plotlines. - Each chapter is named for the (main) plotline it’s following and which part. - At the beginning of the chapter, and anytime there is a scene shift, the location is listed. Also, though this is definitely a portal-fantasy (isekai) it’s different from the standard isekai, especially since the world transfer doesn’t happen immediately. It’s not Lit-RPG but characters gain powers and grow over time. Also, it’s a group of teens that transfer, not just one central character. All of the teens are distinct characters, with their own character-arcs, relationships, powers, growth etc. Hopefully you’ll find this interesting as you’ll see the world and story from multiple perspectives. The story is always in 3rd Person (Omniscient) POV so that it’s not jarring as perspectives shift.
