《The Last Player》Chapter 5

At a street in the middle of the city
Allen walked while looking at the screen of his cellphone. for 30 years many things have changed, skyscraper towers or islands in the sky today are still a design and have not been fully realized
but seeing cities that still have lots of flowers, parks and forests on the hills makes Allen feel this is better
the people of his time were getting more corrupted. cutting down trees to make more advanced urban or industrial land. although it sounds amazing and very futuristic, it's actually not that spectacular.
sometimes Allen thinks, a progress of civilization does not always have a good impact. sometimes development will even displace something in the past. like 30 years from now, forests are very rare and in fact almost 70% of the world's forests are special forests created to maintain oxygen supplies
but there is still time before that happens, Allen wonders whether by himself can he change not only the world of Creatia, but also the real world?
...
but soon, Allen stopped in front of a building that said 'Barber 70 star'.
Ting...
the bell rings as someone enters through the front door. that person is Allen, wearing a black T-shirt that Ye shin gave him when he was a good girl.
"hello, good morning. would you like to get your hair cut?" From within the room, a young woman in her early twenties came and greeted Allen
"Yes, I want to change my appearance. Can you do that?" Allen asked. he didn't come to any place, this barbershop was the place where he had his hair cut before.
When he was in a slump because of yesterday's incident, he decided to completely change himself. his previous appearance looked like a geeky boy with clothes that always looked neat, his kind attitude also made him take advantage of those around him

I wonder what he will become after changing himself?
"Okay, please have a seat"
guiding Allen, the woman then began to shave Allen's hair who was sitting neatly.
--
30 mins later
"It's done! I didn't expect it to turn out like this" The woman looked happy when she saw Allen's new look
Her previously straight hair was now changed to slightly wavy and neatly arranged. because of Allen's good face and body proportions, he looks very suitable with his new look
'This is just me..' Allen unconsciously smiled
"Can I take a photo?" The woman asked, this is the best work as long as she learns to be a hairdresser. maybe he could display it for promotion...
"of course.."

"thank you for visiting! come again next time~" the woman waved her hand to Allen who walked out of the barbershop
'Gesila, an Endrophi company owner waved his hand at me...' Allen snorted, not believing what he was seeing.
like Allen said. The woman's name is Gesila, although she now only has a barbershop business, but in the next 20 years she will turn into a different person.
an ambitious woman known as cold rose for her beauty and cold yet dignified personality. he started his career when Creatia began to steal the public's attention, he also has another nickname, 'Moon Witch' because he has a rare secret job/class as well as his very great magic and skill.
Allen had previously befriended him at the start of the game, but after they chose different paths. they never met again until the closing of Creatia
"Then the next destination..." Allen looked at his cellphone screen once again. but this time he took a taxi by the side of the road and headed south.
A few minutes later, Allen got out of the taxi, paid and started walking into the bank building in front of him

Upon entering, Allen could see a fairly long line, but after waiting in line for a few minutes he finally got his turn
"Hello sir, is there anything I can help you with?" The female administrator greeted Allen gently
"I want to borrow money" Allen replied
"Can you give me the account book and the amount you want to borrow?"
but unexpectedly, Allen opened his mouth and answered again with
"I want to borrow 10,000 credits"
While saying 10,000 credits, the people around were shocked to look at Allen in surprise.
10,000 credits are enough to buy 1 car nowadays... but this young man wants to borrow that much..
"Is he a businessman?"
"I thought so, don't those businessmen always borrow a lot of money and make big profits from it?"
"You're right, they are the ones who bet"
what people say is true. Allen is running his business at the moment. he planned to invest all his money to buy the God crown's stock and sell it in the future.
but the amount he can borrow is very limited because there is a limit of only 10,000 credits for someone without a strong background as the guarantee
and also to borrow elsewhere, all the world's banks are connected. they will see Allen's actions unnaturally, especially when he suddenly makes huge profits when God crown's stock rises drastically
but for now, that's enough. because the biggest income is not from selling shares, but from creatia In-game!
the creatia system is considered very unique among gamers. usually a game, especially a big project game like Creatia, will look for big profits from their game such as a top up system or in-game purchases which are usually done by many games.
but Creatia is different. there are no payments made by players to developers and even they provide freedom of transactions such as auctions in-game or even online markets to sell game item using real money
In the past Allen recalled that there was a guild selling their town for 1.000.000 credits and this shocked the world.
what do people who buy it think? this is just a game, will it be profitable?
but their guess is wrong. a few years later the guild that bought the town managed to raise their town into a small kingdom, monopolizing the dungeons and trade in their territory and making a profit of more than 10x their capital.
This is the madness of today's gaming world.
After receiving the money in his account, Allen didn't think about it when he chose to deposit most of his money to buy God crown stock. and the rest he will use for daily life
"Since I'm free, how about going around?" After all his business was done Allen then walked out of the bank and looked at the maps on his cellphone, he then remembered something. a dojo today is considered stupid. who wants to learn self-defense when people are competing to jump into this world that advanced in technology?
that's how people reacted before Creatia's release. Allen remembers a dojo in this city called the Nine Dragons Dojo. although it sounds weird but this dojo was the largest dojo at Asia in the future, although at this time it seems that this dojo is still under development.

The Humble Life of a Skill Trainer
For Joshua Still, Skills were the lifeblood of his business. He wanted to understand them, collect many of them, and teach a few of them. Which was a problem because while his profession of a Skill Trainer was perfectly legal, it was frowned upon by most of the kingdom. After all, it wouldn't do for a non-tailor to teach Tailoring. Or, so says the Tailors Guild. The same could be said by the Blacksmiths, the Bakers, the Butchers, the Candlestick Makers, the Mages, and every other Guild with enough money and clout to complain. But still, Skill Trainers provide a valuable service, and so he has managed to start his business and keep it under the table. To a degree. With many a bribe. But his quiet anonymous life of research, practice, and training was about to change. When the Baron demands you pay him a visit, you have little choice.

It may seem like a game, but that doesn't matter to me, because this is my reality. The pain, the hunger, the cold, the fear, it's all real to me. Alone, without knowing why I'm here, in a world where I know nothing and nobody, I decide to buy a Blood Slave to have someone I can trust. She brings me comfort and so much more. She helps me raise my head high again and bravely move forward. Together, we'll grow stronger. Together, we're unbreakable. But she won't be the only one by my side.

Killing monsters is a daily need, but they aren't the only enemy here. I have a powerful "Gift" that allows me to change my "skill points" at will, but if others were to know about it, there would be many that would try to use me by any means possible. Step by step, moment by moment, day by day, we keep moving forward, always aiming to improve our strength. One day, we'll meet our Fate, and we'll be ready for it. Swords held high, shields tightly strapped to our arms, wings spread apart, spells at the tip of our tongues, minds focused like blades, and our hearts hardened like steel. We'll take on whatever comes our way! --------------------------------------------- New chapters Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8PM US East. At least 3k words each. Additional Tags: Psychological, Romance, Magic, Male Lead, Portal Fantasy/Isekai/Transmigration, Polygamy, Slaves Content Warning: gore, profanity, sexual content (most of it has been censored) (male/female, female/female, and human/non-human(not for the faint of heart)), traumatizing content What to expect: Slow story focused on the day-to-day life of a transmigrated man rather than on the plot. The plot exists but it very slowly becomes relevant. Also, slow character progress. It's a long journey, so don't expect a hero to grow in just a few chapters. Detailed environments and extensive world-building. Realistic and tactical combat instead of flashy. Protagonist with a cheat but far from overpowered. Lots of descriptive sex scenes (though most got censored here). It's treated as just another part of life instead of merely fan-service. A harem where the members actually enjoy living with each other. Occasional weird wording and grammar, English isn't my first language. Currently uploading on: Royal Road (most sexual content censored), Scribble Hub, Novel Updates Forum, Wattpad, Hentai Foundry, Webnovel, MoonQuill, Nobles, Archive of Our Own, and Literotica.
