The Merchant

Is your brother sick? I have the cure. Radiation? It's not a problem. Magic? Shh, don't tell anyone. Bubbly black drink? It's called Coke. Gold? Ahh I have tons of it. Luck was an unemployed loser who only knew how to play games. One day, while playing on his computer, Luck was exposed to solar energy and gained a mysterious power that allowed him to travel to and from another world. The other world he could travel to was a world where monsters roamed, kingdoms and empires existed, and a force called mana gave people superhuman powers. By traveling back and forth between these two worlds, Luck will enjoy being a merchant, carrying goods and trading between the two worlds, and making money by using the advantages of both worlds.

Smell...

Scolded by the man who continued to urinate on the corner of the road, Elsa grimaced.

A bone-chilling cold began to radiate from Elsa as she gritted her teeth.

"Elsa, stop."

Placing her hand on Elsa's shoulder, Senna stopped her sister from doing something rash.

"Don't you see the way he treats me! And he's littering the streets!"

Senna took Elsa by the arm and started to lead her away.

"He's not the only one who does that."

There were other people around, like that man, urinating on the street corners! There were even women!

"Instead of attacking the troublemaker, you need to solve the problem at its root...or what are you going to do? Attack everyone who defecates around here?"

Looking around at Senna's remark, Elsa noticed other people defecating and even blushed.

"Even women urinate in public! How shameless!"

Senna, unlike her sister, was not very angry, on the contrary, she was coolly thoughtful.

"What would you do?"

Elsa was taken aback by the sudden question.

"What would I do? About what?"

"What would you do if you had to go to the toilet and there was nowhere to go?"

Elsa looked at her sister blankly. For someone like her, who always had a clean and ready to use toilet at home, this was something she had never thought about.

"At least let them shit in the forest outside the compound!"

Senna looked at her sister, raising one eyebrow in response.

"You're telling ordinary people with no star power to go into the forest where monsters can appear at any moment and attack them?"

Elsa waved her hand as if to say never mind.

"There are teams patrolling the compound all the time, the chances of a star monster appearing are very low!"

"Even if it's a low chance, it's a deadly chance for those people..."

....

World

Pain...pure intense pain and an ugly odor that tortures the nose.

These were the first two things Luck felt as his mind slowly came back to him.

In too much pain to even open his eyes, Luck felt like if he moved a muscle he would be torn apart.

"Fuck..."

Slowly opening his eyes as the pain racking his body began to subside as his mind slowly regained consciousness, Luck saw a white light hitting his face.

Luck: .....

Am I dead?

Is this the legendary white light?

If so, where is the old white-bearded uncle who will call me to the end of the road?

...

After lying on the floor for a while waiting for the old uncle to call him to the afterlife, Luck started to feel that something was not right....

Especially the ugly smell...

If I'm going to the afterlife, what's that smell?

Turning his eyes from the white light to the side, Luck saw the table and the small closet in the hotel room.

Luck : (?_?)

His mind full of questions, Luck stared blankly at the small refrigerator for a moment.

"Huh? Am I not dead? Am I still in the hotel room...but then what was that white light?"

Turning his head again and looking at the white light, Luck squinted his eyes and realized what the white light he thought would take him to the afterlife was.

LAMP! CEILING LAMP!

Even though he felt like an idiot, a wave of relief washed over Luck.

"Oh, I'm not dead..."

Slowly straightening up, now that the wave of pain that had been overtaking his body had almost completely disappeared, Luck also realized the source of the foul smell that had come to his nostrils.

The source of the odor was himself!

He didn't know how long he had been lying unconscious on the floor, but he was so sweaty that all his clothes felt like they were soaked in water, and when he touched his t-shirt with his hand, he realized that it was covered with a disgusting sticky gel-like substance.

"What the hell is this...disgusting!

Wanting to get rid of the disgusting smell and the sticky substance, Luck quickly went to the

bathroom and when he took off all his clothes, he was pleasantly surprised.

Although there were noticeable changes in his body after the first time he used the red devil flower, they were not as obvious as this time.

His abs, his pecs, his pecs, his biceps...his legs...they all looked like something out of a statue of a Greek god.

They were clearly bursting with power, but not as bulging as a bodybuilder's...a pleasing aesthetic to the eye.

And most importantly, the little brother at the bottom...he wasn't so little anymore.

Throwing his stinking clothes in the trash, Luck quickly showered and dressed again.

When he returned to the room, it still smelled as disgusting as before.

Looking at the remnants of dirt and sweat stains on the floor where he had passed out, Luck had no doubt that the smell had spread from there.

Thinking that the stench would not leave the room until the carpet on the floor was washed and the room was well ventilated, Luck packed the rest of his clothes in his backpack and left the hotel, paying for the days he had stayed in the lower hotel.

I can't stay here another minute!

I can't explain myself after the cleaning lady enters the room!

They might even think I took a shit in the room!

...

After wandering around in the dull surroundings of Manisa for a while, Luck got bored and decided to go back to Gliese to see if Nikolai and the others had collected any seeds for him.

He also needed to set up a business again for his employees.

"I guess I have busy days ahead of me again...I wish I could just sell gold and be lazy..."

Of course, these were pipe dreams.

Luck, soon dressed for Gliese, stepped through the door and went to Gliese.

Stepping out of the door of a noisy inn, Luck couldn't help smiling.

The feeling of being able to go to another world at will was wonderful.

He felt as if he had stepped into a movie, people in strange clothes, starfighters carrying various cold weapons and shields...it was like something out of a sci-fi movie.

Luck was looking around dreamily when someone bumped him hard on the shoulder and he snapped out of it.

"Move, man!"

Luck cowered in fear as he glanced at the man who had shouldered him away.

The man was huge, like a stampede, and Luck could see blood stains on the sword hanging from his waist.

Like a movie, yes.... at times like a dream, but at other times like a nightmare that can haunt your worst dreams.

"I'm sorry..."

The big man entered the inn without even bothering to look at Luck again.

...

Luck knew he was too weak to survive in a place like Gliese.

He was like a baby rabbit among predators.

"I'd better go and meet Nikolay or one day I'll be in trouble before I know it."

Realizing that he was not far from Nikolay's house, Luck quickly made his way to Nikolay's house and when he arrived at Nikolay's house, the guards who recognized him did not even bother to stop him and he entered the house easily.

The first person he met in Nikolay's house was not Nikolay or his daughters...

A/N: How do you find the story flow? is it too slow? should I speed it up a bit? or is it fine as it is?
