Saving The World From The Shadows With A Conglomerate System
Oftentimes pride and greed are attributed as cardinal sins that humans should strive to stay away from. But what if I were to tell you that they were humanity's greatest weapons, and that the world would be saved, not by heroes of virtue, but by a greedy trillionaire who will stop at nothing to fulfil his desires? This is a transmigration story; the god of wealth and greed has summoned his most ambitious child to save a failing world. However, because he already summoned another hero, our protagonist must save this world from the shadows. And what better way to do it than the only way he knows how; by building a global scale conglomerate. *** What seems like a typical Web-Novel story eventually transcends your expectations once given the chance.

Despite the small amount of force he used, he rose quite a bit into the air, before falling back down slowly.
~It really is like I'm underwater,~ he realized.
This was going to make things harder than they already were. He wouldn't be able to move as fast because of the resistive force of the 'water-air' and he doubted that his brain would easily get used to the strange buoyancy that accompanied his jumps.
