Dimensional Sovereign

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.
