December 2nd, Friday…
Pei Qian sipped his coffee as he read the work week reports submitted by various departments in the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
For some reason, he felt like he was writing a memorial.
Now, Pei Qian finally understood why those incapable rulers in the ancient times did not like to go to court or approve memorials. That was because this was indeed a very troublesome matter. How could it be as good as having nothing to do and having fun every day?!
Tengda had a lot of business areas recently. It would be difficult for the heads of every department to come and report their work. What's more, Pei Qian did not want to do that since he needed his freedom.
Thus, Pei Qian's current supervision of Tengda's various departments was mainly through two methods:
The first was for the various departments to submit their work week reports regularly. They would compress the work situation this week to a few dozen words. That way, Pei Qian would have a rough idea of what these departments were planning and take precautions in advance.
The second type was the Manage Loss Trainees' regular report that was held once every two weeks. These reports would be slightly more detailed, and at the same time, they could verify with the various department's weekly reports to ensure the accuracy of the information.
Pei Qian flipped through the weekly reports from various departments and stopped at Shang Yang Games.
"Eh? New downloadable content for The Lonely Desert Road and Game Designer were released yesterday?"
"That's a good thing."
"…I shouldn't be the last to know about this, right?"
Besides going to class, Pei Qian had also spent a lot of time revising these couple of days.
It was the exam week next month. The third-year curriculum was more difficult than the first and second-year curriculum. There were more exam subjects as well.
Pei Qian felt humiliated that he could not beat the slacker Ma Yang in the previous exams.
He would be able to redeem himself this time, right?
One had to know that Ma Yang was very busy at the moment. Not only did he have to do live-streaming 'live commerce', but he also had to spend money on Weibo. What's more, he had become the most popular person in the school. He might even be recognized on the streets. Many students had to address him respectfully as Boss Ma when they saw his long face.
Old Ma even had to spare some time to revise and prepare for his exams.
As for Pei Qian, even though everyone in Tengda Corporation thought that Boss Pei was ten times busier than Boss Ma, Pei Qian knew very well that he only had two hours of real work every day.
He was only truly busy one month before the settlement.
Thus, Pei Qian felt that it would be unreasonable if he could not win Old Ma under such circumstances.
What's more, Pei Qian had purposely borrowed the notes of a few girls in his class who were good at studying. It could be said that he had made ample preparations.
Pei Qian gave it some serious consideration as to why he could not beat Old Ma in the exams previously but after some serious consideration, he felt that it was mainly because his revision method was not right.
Borrowing Ma Yang's notes to revise would only bring him on par with Old Ma. How could he surpass him?
If the upper limit of Ma Yang's notes was 70 points, he would not be able to surpass 70 points no matter how much he revised!
Thus, this time, Pei Qian borrowed someone else's notes sneakily, hoping to overtake Ma Yang and beat him in terms of results.
Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing if he could not beat Old Ma the slacker every time he took the exam! It would make Pei Qian look like he could not even understand what he was doing.
Pei Qian, who had been focused on revising for the past two days, had not paid attention to the fact that the downloadable content of the two old games. That was why he only realized it the next day after the downloadable content was published by Shang Yang Games.
"Let me see the sales volume…"
"These two lousy games have been around for so long. Everyone is tired of them. Could someone really be buying their downloadable content? No way, no way, right?"
"F*ck! What's going on?"
Pei Qian opened the platform and immediately lost his cool.
The two downloadable content released yesterday had sold 250,000 copies of The Lonely Desert Road's downloadable content, and Game Designer's downloadable content had reached 130,000 copies!
Going by the pricing of five and eighteen yuan, deducting the commission and tax, these two downloadable content would bring Tengda Games an estimate of more than two million yuan pure profit for the first day of sales!
What's more, this was just profit for one day.
In the next week or even the next month, these downloadable content would continue to generate profits. In the next few days, as their influence spread, sales might even show signs of increasing!
Pei Qian was confused. 
What the f*ck was going on?!
He could not understand the current situation. How long had these two games been out for? They should have been all dusty in the gamers' game library, right?
What was the meaning of holding on to these two lousy games all the time? Why did you keep buying the downloadable content of the game? Are you crazy?!
Pei Qian decided to make downloadable content for these old games with two intentions:
The first intention was to disperse the manpower of Shang Yang Games so that Wang Xiaobin, who was not good at playing games, could make the downloadable content. That would allow GOG's overseas operations to slow down slightly and give IOI some breathing space.
The second intention was because he felt that no one would play the old game anymore. Thus, he had secretly updated the downloadable content so that he could spend money without generating sales volume. It was the best of both worlds.
The result was that he had completely mistaken the entire situation! 
The sales volume was ridiculous!
Pei Qian's greatest feeling now was being confused and lost.
Didn't they say that Wang Xiaobin was not good at designing gameplay? Didn't they say that no one would play the old games anymore?
So what was happening now?
Pei Qian scrolled through the forum with confusion and saw a passionate comment from a certain player.
"Tengda Games: A perfect example of sincerity in creating a win-win situation!"
"When I heard that The Lonely Desert Road and Game Designer had updated their downloadable content yesterday, my first reaction was disbelief. These two games have been outdated for a long time. What's more, the games themselves are already free. Is there a need for another downloadable content? Can they really make money?"
"I'm a little confused. Tengda has GOG in its hands and is developing a new large-scale game project. Why take the time to develop downloadable content for these old games that have already completed their mission?"
"However, I understand now that Tengda is full of tricks!"
"Everyone knows that the two games, The Lonely Desert Road and Game Designer, have been free for a long time. That's why most people have downloaded it, right?"
"At first, I thought that this free promotion strategy was a very common one. After all, the game's lifespan is almost over and there isn't much sales left. Giving up on that bit of sales to expand the game's influence is a good choice."
"But now, I realize that selling the downloadable content for free is a good option! This is a trap!"
"It is precisely because the two games are free that the number of players in the game has greatly increased. That is why the new downloadable content is so good!"
"What's more valuable is that the downloadable content of the downloadable content was added to the original standalone gameplay. The potential of these two games was immediately activated, and old gamers found new joy! What's more, Tengda's new game's Easter egg was buried in the game this time. That gave them even more reason to purchase it!"
"That's why I said that Tengda Games is a model of sincerity in creating a win-win situation."
"If it were any other company, the old game would have left it to fend for itself. Players would have no choice but to leave the game in the game library to eat dust.
"However, Tengda is different. They are willing to update their old games every once in a while. On the one hand, they show a strong sense of responsibility so that gamers would think that Tengda would not give up on any game. On the other hand, they would use interesting gameplay and Easter eggs to link all the old games together, turning them into a part of Tengda Games' empire. They would give the game for free and then sell the downloadable content, that way they would reap good sales and profits."
"To be honest, this kind of sincerity is not something difficult to achieve. However, most companies are unwilling to do it because they feel that there is no profit to be made. Yet, Tengda is doing the opposite. It is enough to see how unique this company is!"
"Forget it, I'll buy these two downloadable contents first as a salute to the company!"
Pei Qian looked at the long review, and his expression became blank.
Make them free to sell more downloadable content?
Don't mess with me, I didn't mean that at all!
If the system had not stipulated that new products had to be priced, would you believe that I would give all the downloadable content free of charge?
Pei Qian had thought that the worst case scenario would be earning some reputation. He had not expected so many gamers to be willing to pay for it!
In fact, the proportion of gamers who were paying to buy the downloadable content was not high. However, both games were now free of charge. Too many people had downloaded and played them before. That was why so many people were willing to buy a downloadable content that could activate new gameplay!
"There's no time to lose. We have to spend this money as soon as possible."
"Should I make a trip to Dream Realization Ventures?"
Pei Qian felt terrible at the thought of earning money again.
There were still two months to settlement but these two downloadable content would continue to make money.
What should he do with this sum of money? He had to plan ahead.
After some thought, Pei Qian decided to make a trip to Dream Realization Ventures.
He should be able to roughly determine if the first batch of companies that he had invested in were going to be profitable or not. He should sell those that were profitable quickly, and he should invest more in those that were not profitable. That way he should be able to spend all this unexpected wealth.
… 
Dream Realization Ventures, conference room.
He Desheng began to report the first round of investments to Boss Pei.
"Boss Pei, we have invested in a total of 11 companies. Two of them are profitable, one of them is showing obvious signs of profit. Three of them are quite popular and have attracted the attention of other investors. The remaining five companies are still quiet. However, there is still a lot of money in the company's accounts. We are not short of money for now."
"These are the details of each company. Please take a look."
Pei Qian reached out to take the documents and realized that they were filled with complicated financial reports. He could not help but feel an impending headache.
He put the information aside. "I don't read these things. Just follow my previous rules. Sell those that are already profitable immediately. Don't invest anymore in those that are showing signs of profit. Sell them when they are profitable as well. Keep observing those that are not profitable. Keep investing in those that have spent all their money."
"Invest the money that you gained from the sale directly into the companies that are in the order of the queue. We can also retract the finance personnel that we sent out and send them out again to take charge of the other companies."


I really just want to lose money! T_T
Best boss ever, prodigy of the business world, genius creator, visionary of the century.
These are the descriptions used for Pei Qian, President of Tengda Corporation.
Ever since his rebirth, Pei Qian finds himself in possession of a system that rewards him if he manages to lose money.
Instantly, a brilliant idea comes to mind — making crappy games!
"If the game flops, all my investment cost will be lost!"
"How difficult can it be to lose money?"
Indeed... how difficult can it be?
------------------------------------------------------------
This book is highly popular in China and has set off a new trend. Webnovel has very high expectations for this book and has gotten the author to refine the first chapter as an exclusive for global readers. We hope everyone will enjoy reading it.

Looking at the program he decided to try it before launching it. After uploading all the new data, he launched the app, the first question he got was whether he wanted anime or how it looked like in real life, he directly chose anime, who the hell wanted other than that. He saw a thousand different sections, each displaying a different contestant. You were simply asked of waht you liked, and then that 1000 list will be narrowed to the sections that you would like. After filling his likings that 1000 quickly narrowed down to 20-30 sections, picking  one at random, he noticed that each section only had 1 episode up till now, watching the first episode, the first part was an introduction to the character before he died, then the next part was him beign dragged to the heaven castle to spin a roulette. Then the episode was concluded with the system he got and what world he got transferred to.

Quite simple, but he liked it, looking at it, he decided not to be a big meanie and he boosted time a bit so that there was at least a few episodes to satisfy people's need and since the time difference is already big, then events will happen quick enough, as 10 days outside equals to 100 days inside those planets.

After there was an average of 7 episodes on each section, he decided to make the app downloadable, asking the system for a little help, now his app was in every single digital store found, and of course the app was free.

After a little while had passed, like 2-3 hours, he noticed that at first the amount of downloaders wasn't that high, but the amount was increasing quickly, it went from increasing maybe 100 new users a minute, to like 10,000 new users in a minute pretty quickly.

Thinking it wasn't enough he decided to make an add for the app, the add will show up on your device as a pop screen, you couldn't get rid of the add no matter how hard you tried amd the add will pop up on all devices working right now, for the devices which are off, the add will pop up as soon as the device is turned on. The add was basically going to feature all the things that you could do on the app, also showing the privileges of the higher ranks. 

Observing a few people using his god eye, first we have &$#$, he was watching porn on his 7XC (a high tech laptop) after he saw the app, his face first turned confused, then angry that he couldn't remove the add, then he listened to what was going on in the add, and found himself quite interested. Most other people were also angry at first then got pretty hooked up with the add.

Looking at the already 16 billion downloads already, he was pretty happy. Looks like the add did its magic. Checking to see the rank distribution between the users. There was already 300 million A ranks, 2 billion B ranks, 5 billion C ranks, 6 billion D ranks, 1 billion E ranks, 699 F ranks, and 1 million FF rank. 

He was honestly quite surprised at the amount of F and FF rankers, Being an F rank removes many privileges, and there is a 30% chance any message you send on a forum will be buried, being an FF rank, there is a 70% chance of any message you send  being buried, as well as a 1 week delay before the episodes are shown to you, so you will have to wait a week after the episode is released to be able to watch it. But what surprised him was, how the hell did people even manage to reach the FF rank. Breaking a rule will demote you a rank, and then breaking a big rule as an F rank will send you to the FF rank, people were quite gutsy huh.

(Note: ok time for some POVs, shall we...... Coming in the next episode of dragon ball. *ahem* *ahem* in the next episode of i am god, pov of many different people, stay tuned, and, i have a test that i need to study for, so like, soz)

A pervert father that tries to hold back his nature.. A bitchy devout wife that treats him like a servant. A father in law that collects most of his earnings. This is Carl’s life. Now Carl decides that it is time to put everything behind him and start anew, but an incredible discovery about his father in law makes him decide that it is time to teach him a lesson… of course in his own, pervert way... This is my first attempt at writing. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Also, I am not a native english speaker so do expect grammar errors to pop up.
-The tags clearly indicate that this novel is not something that everyone can stomach.  If you can't handle it, then don't read it.  leaving a review that only says "this is disgusting" just exposes your bigotism.

-All character and situations are pure producs of my imagination.  Any resemblance to actual people or events is completeley coincidental.  DON'T TRY TO REPRODUCE THE ACTS DEPICTED IN THIS BOOK IN REAL LIFE!  NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE, IT IS CRUEL AND ILLEGAL!!!

Izaya brought his laptop from his room to the bar. Rui requested to built an application that can become external source of information for DOLLARS. For Izaya, the idea of using a game-like application to gather information seems fun, the progress of developing the application was speedy. If you have to say any dissatisfaction, it was probably the opinion that the current folding phones widely used today forces him to tone-down the app.
"All it needs now is to connect the application with Decim-chan's threads."
"Does it needs for me to use power? Judging you're programming ability, that kind of external help should be unneeded."
"I'm happy to be highly evaluated but the problem was actually the world's technology! If I start to spread this up to people outside normally, their phones will simply crash."
Izaya express his dissatisfaction. He's keen on programming but he's not a god! Moreover there's an easy way of using supernatural ability make the app useful at its best rather than overly degrading just for the app to be functionable.
"Then, can I see it first?"
Rui reaches out Izaya's clothes mentioning him to sit of the sofa with her. Izaya didn't reject her offer and lay his laptop on the table. The application's system was open on the laptop free for testing.

CROWDS is a social networking site and app that is set to spread on Yokohama. It utilizes gamification, a concept in which video game mechanics such as achievements and points are applied to real world uses to make people more efficient and productive through positive reinforcement. It will be operated and manage by an artificial intelligence named Hundred.
CROWDS is downloadable through a virus like invitation that is planned to spread to many ordinary citizens in Yokohama that has an access to phone or computer devices later. Members can send email invitation to anyone that they wanted to invite after this mass-collection.
It will show case a chat room for members divided by level. With level C, R, O, W, D and S, S-level members will be the highest CROWDS level while C-level members is the lowest. The level is upgradable through completing Tasks issued by Hundred. S-level members will only be DOLLARS's tattooed members (actually impossible to "upgrade" from ordinary level to S-level).
This means that CROWDS members can be considered and affiliated members to DOLLARS. With the control of Hundred under Izaya's hands and information of around the member with Decim's thread, DOLLARS will expand they're territory among "ordinary people".

Yokohama Foreign Settlement, Suribachi City
"So they drink metal plating to kill themselves overseas, huh? But those who died have their organs melted while they're still alive. Yuck. Glad I didn't try it."
"Hey, did you know about that? Um..."
"Hirotsu. I'll take that into consideration."
Hirotsu Ryuro replies to Dazai's self talk as he descend from the stair of the settlement. Hirotsu is a middle-aged man with grey, swept-back hair, a mustache, and a short beard ending in a spike. His eyes are violet, with a monocle over his right eye, secured by a gold chain. He dons a long, black coat over a white dress shirt with a black bow - his pants and shoes being the same color. Over the coat, he wears a dirt-brown scarf that's nearly the same length as his coat.
"Dazai-san."
"Yes?"
"This area is in state of conflict. Be careful."
"Conflict?"
"The Port Mafia currently has three enemy organizations (within Suribachi City). One is Takasekai, another is GSS and lastly, a complementary army comprised entirely of juveniles, the Sheep..."
Before Hirotsu finished, Dazai phone rang. It was from Mori confirming about the situation from Dazai. Hirotsu hears the conversation clearly as Dazai claimed "I found the previous boss. He came back from the pits of Hell." Before Dazai finish the call, an attach from behind shots in his direction causing Hirotsu to exclaim.
Dazai lay down on the rumble as the the dust started to clear up showing the attacker.
"Hahahaha. This is perfect. A kid! Port Mafia must be really desperate for people."
"I hate pain, you know?"
"I'll give you two options. Die now, or die after you give me information. Either's fine."
"Then, kill me now. All better if you can kill me comfortably."
The attacker, a short orange hair teen, was irritated as he realize that the opponent was a suicidal brat. After a tit-for-tat of calling each other a brat, he got into the issue.
"Why don't you tell me about this "Arahabaki" that you're snooping on?"
"Arahabaki, huh? I see, Arahabaki."
Dazai smirked as he connects the clues about the recent rumors circulating in Port Mafia. Port Mafia circulates the rumor about the resurrection of the previous leader making then search around Suribachi City for clues  but Suribachi City news claim that Port Mafia was searching for news about "Arahabaki". Obviously, there's someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.
"You know about it, do you?"
"No. Never heard of it."
The orange hair teen give Dazai another kick on the face then continue to step on his body.
"Those who step into the Sheep's territory will be met by fierce retaliation. I see. So you're the King of Sheep. Manipulator of Gravity, Nakahara Chuuya"
"I'm not a king! I just happen to have a card up to my sleeve."
"I see. You're a cocky, overconfident child. You're the kind of person I hate the most."
"And I hate condescending little pricks like you more than anything in this world."
"That's enough."
Hirotsu voice appear from behind causing Nakahara Chuuya to look back. Hirotsu starts to remove his gloves preparing for battle. Hirotsu was obviously a level lower than Chuuya in terms of fighting ability. Even with the intervention of Dazai, his fighting technology was enough without the gravity to free himself away from the two. As Chuuya and Hirotsu continue to fight, a sudden explosion happen. Dazai was struggle to stay with his two feet on the ground was able to see someone in the middle of the explosion.
"The previous boss..."
...
...
...
"Ah, what a scary explosion. That 'Randou' is a monster."
"Real name, Arthur Rimbaud. One of the few Transcendent of Europe. Heh. I hate this kind of monsters who doesn't care about surroundings when fighting. But don't you think that kind of words are not fit for you to say, Mikoto-san?"
Subaru express his negative opinion towards the culprit of explosion but Mikoto didn't seem care and as silent as always.
"Nakahara Chuuya should be taken to Port Mafia after this. What should we do?"
Subaru turn his attention towards Mikoto. He wasn't a fighting faction so his role here should be for support.
"We don't need to do much. Since the purpose is to 'show up', plainly let everyone witness [us]"

Yokohama implements Tripartite Tactic, a framework aiming at preserving the balance and order of Yokohama.
The Special Division and the Military Police were tapped to oversee and handle affairs during the Daytime, the Port Mafia at Night, and the Armed Detective Agency in the Twilight.
However, there are claims about a Secrets Organization operating in Yokohama that rivals the power of the three powerhouses with unknown members lurking in shadows.

The goal of a startup should be: Launch as many things as possible, fail as quickly as possible, and then figure out how to move forward from there."

3 friends aged over 18 find a secretively path which is a secret path/tunnel to a magical land where imaginary animals live, on a beautiful scenario.They found some extraordinary things they have never heard or seen or thought about but one day an unexpected thing came up.

Dark chapter.
A phrase used to describe your embarrassing past you wanted to erase.
Powerful, intelligent, sociable, good looking, and wealthy. The genius who had all of the listed qualities.
 
The main hero of Fullmago, Joo Soohyuk, too had a dark chapter in his life.
 
The first time Soohyuk and Dain had a combined class.
Dain meets her best friend Yuri during the 'Player Battle practice 1' combined class and smiles for the first time ever since the first day of school.
Soohyuk who sees her smiling in front of him trips and falls in a grand manner.
Had he not been in his players' physical state, his fall was impactful enough to cause a concussion or a broken bone.
Even the mighty Joo Soohyuk was just a teenager smitten by the smile of the girl he had fallen for.
'Dain rarely smiled so it's understandable why Soohyuk was surprised. Previously whenever she smiled they were out of politeness. A combination of her expressionless face and a slight lift in the corners of her mouth.
 
Soohyuk had made a fool of himself in front of 100 or so people and was recorded on live stream.
 
He then tries to pull himself together and engages on a one on one with Dain.
Soohyuk loses miserably.
Dain is taken by surprise by Soohyuk's poor skills and Soohyuk sensing her disappointment is tormented.
This whole scenario was the main highlight of today's first class.
5 minutes before the start of class.
The entire year 1 class 1 arrived at the sports hall allocated for freshmen.
Yuri commented that more may come today so we had waited as long as we could for our other classmates.
But like yesterday, there were only four of us again. Hwang Jiho, Kim Yuri, Hayi, and myself.
The four of us walked together to the sports hall but as soon as we arrived I pretended to explore the sports hall and went to stand behind Soohyuk.
"Yuri!"
Dain had found Yuri.
Dain, with a pretty expression that imitated a field of fully bloomed flowers, waved her hand.
The cold and expressionless Dain was gone and a warm smile was widely spread all over.
All the students that saw Dain looked surprised.
But Dain and Yuri didn't seem to care and started to talk.
Flop.
I supported Soohyuk from behind and prevented his fall.
I don't know how he had tripped but both his legs were momentarily in the air.
 
Thankfully I was prepared and avoided being entangled in an accident together.
"Are you okay?
"….oh, sorry. Ya I'm okay."
Soohyuk who stood leaning against my shoulder looked like he wasn't in the right state of mind.
Even a lost and blank expression looked good on Soohyuk.
There were a few students standing behind Soohyuk and looking at the side of his face. They looked even more lost and blank than he did.
"Are you sure you're okay? I think you're going to battle Dain in this class today. You guys have the same score so."
"What? Oh, right. Okay. That's okay."
He looked far from okay.
At the mention of Dain, his cheeks were dyed a shade of red.
But soon he calmed down after a few deep breaths.
Even though he was smitten by his first love Soohyuk was one of the main characters in this world.
Now with this, he would have avoided an embarrassing moment.
'This should have done the trick.'
I was about to leave Soohyuk and walk away when Soohyuk spoke.
"Thanks, Jo Eushin."
Soohyuk knew my name.
It was an odd feeling to hear my name being spoken from the mouth of the main character.
"….You know my name?"
"My test site was right opposite yours for the practical exam. When everything wrapped up and you were transported to the hospital, I caught a glimpse of your face and name tag. I'm more surprised that you know my name."
Soohyuk smiled and spoke casually, he no longer seemed to be out of it.
'What a good memory.'
To think that Soohyuk was able to remember someone's name and face just from a glimpse amidst all the chaos that had happened that day.
If so it was even possible that Soohyuk remembered Sanghoon and Namwook.
 
"I don't think there's anyone amongst the freshman that doesn't know you or Dain's name."
 
"Hahaha, if you put it that way then the same goes for the nameless supernova."
Soohyuk naturally continued the conversation.
He had the ability to make the other person smile and be at ease.
'When I saw him from the game I only thought of him as someone who was easy to stick to.'
But in real life, I realized he had the ability to charm people and genuinely gain their attention.
'No wonder those from the royal lineage reached out to Soohyuk."
While we were engaged in a conversation.
The class bell rang and put an end to our conversation.
"The class bell…."
A combined sound of string and wind instruments filled the room.
It was a great combination of string, wind, and brass instruments that showed off a great melody.
The students spoke in softer voices to appreciate the melody.
"They played this themselves? What was the title? I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."
"It's composed by Elgar, the marching song of Wipungdang No.1 in D major….wow they even organized the second half."
"Seems like the string, wind, and orchestra club came together to commemorate the first class bell."
"I like this piece. I'm going to download it."
As the piece continued the sound of conversations faded away.
All around, students put up their hologram to download the piece.
In Eunkwang high the soundtrack of the class bell changed every hour.
Those in charge of the class bell were the music-related clubs.
String, wind, orchestra, piano, a traditional instrument, band, vocal music, choir, composing club, etc decided on the soundtrack to use for the class bell.
Anything from instrument pieces to self sung songs were possible to use.
There were times when it was a classic piece like today. Sometimes there were pop songs or self-composed songs.
There were cases when it was a country song or traditional Korean pansori.
All these soundtracks were uploaded on Eunkwang high's broadcasting homepage.
The sound of the class bell was only a minute long but the full version was downloadable on the homepage.
'I'll download today's one after making a donation.'
The class bell was downloadable for free but you were also able to donate as much as you wanted.
After the allocated minute for the class bell was over, the track started to fade out. Then the professors turned up.
Soohyuk and I had stopped talking and were listening to the class bell, but now decided to part ways and return to our places.
"See you soon, Eushin."
"Sure, Soohyuk."
Soohyuk rejoined his class year 1 class 2 students and I rejoined my class zero students.
The students lined up in two lines per class. Then the three professors stood in front of the 104 students and did a brief self-introduction.
Year 1 class zero homeroom teacher Ham Geun Hyeong
Year 1 class one homeroom teacher Kim Shin Rok
Year 1 class two homeroom teacher No Young Mi
No Young Mi was a non-playable character.
But Kim Shin Rok was a new character.
In the game, the form teacher of class one was Choi Pyeon Deuk, that piece of trash.
<This character is not found in the database. There is no information on this person>
Even with the specified menu tab, there was no information to be found.
The homeroom teacher of Year 1 class 1, where the title heroine Andain was, played quite a crucial role.
But to think that it was an unregistered character.
'Choi Pyeon Deuk is still out there alive so why was there a change in their appointed teacher?'
I was staring and continuously observing Kim Shin Rok.
Then I realized he had a familiar face.
'The invigilator who had appeared near death at the nameless side character's tutorial….!"
He was the invigilator who had turned up during the practical exam near death and shouted at us to run.
'In the storyline, he suffered a severe injury from the bear lineage and was thrown into the sports hall with the enemy. Then died with the students who were in there taking their exam….'
Perhaps Kim Shin Rok was originally the appointed homeroom teacher for class 1.
But in the game, he had died so there was a change.
"Hello everyone. This is 'Player battle practice 1' your first lesson since you've entered Eunkwng high.'
No Young Mi the homeroom teacher of year 1 class 2 started the class.
"Amongst you, there will be some of you that are not interested in battles and avoid them. Of course, there are many paths for a player. You need not join the pro player team after you graduate Eunkwang high. There are students who end up becoming doctors, lawyers, civil workers, or even professors like us.'
There were some guilty faces in the crowd.
There were quite a number of students who had joined Eunkwang high for its title and reputation as the most elite high school in Korea. Rather than because they wanted to pursue a career as a player.
'Namwook was an example of such.'
The enthusiasm and pursuit of the elite education system continued even after the scandal in this industry.
"But we never know where the borderline will turn up. It may be found in the offices you work in or the resort you visit for a holiday. A borderline may open up and the enemy may appear."
No Young Mi continued.
"Only players like us are capable of combating the enemies. It is the basic quality of a player to train and polish their skills to fight for your family, friends, neighbors, and yourself."
Those of us here were newly turned 17, year-one high school students.
All this while it had been impossible to use our esteemed abilities as it had been sealed away so even if we had outstanding battle skills we were in the position of being protected.
But now that we were 17 and approved by the association we were the players.
No Young Mi's speech made me realize that we all stood in a different position. From the ones being protected by others to the ones that protected others.
"One of the entrance requirements to enter Eunkwang high is to 'be equipped with more than one battle skill.' Our teaching team will do our best to enhance the battle skills that you have shown to us."
As No Young Mi gestured, Kim Shin Rok and  Ham Geun Hyeong respectively brought carts full of item cards.
"All of the cards here are item cards designed and catered to enhance the battle skills you revealed during the entrance exam. Their rarity are all class R items."
Several students raised their hands.
"Professor! I brought my own personal item card."
"Same here."
Those funded by their families' wealth possessed even rarer items that were of SR or SSR rarity. So to them, the R rarity item must have been unsatisfying.
No Young Mi shook her head.
"What we want to see today is purely your battle skills."
It was expected for the homeroom teachers to observe and assess the strength and abilities of their year one students.
That was why it was necessary to combine more than two classes to compare and assess each student's position amongst the rest.
Since attacks that occurred at the borderline were mostly in large groups.
There were many unhappy faces in the crowd, but No Young Mi ignored it and continued to speak.
"Your respective homeroom teachers will distribute the item cards. One the distribution is completed, gather back."
***
I did not want to share my skill.
Personalized menu option? Skill of faith? Corresponding skill?
I was probably the only one in this world with these sorts of skills.
Once I revealed them, I predicted a future where I was used as a research target by the player's association or the government.
But it was a mandatory rule to reveal more than one battle skill in Eunkwang high.
'I only have one skill I can reveal.'
Which was also my only battle skill.
The skill I revealed was the "all things ability" where I could use any shield and weapon.
"Wow! Are all these yours Eushin?"
Yuri looked at me impressed.
Most students had been issued one card.
'This is more than I expected.'
The number of cards I received was 300.
Those around me started to talk as I stood there holding a whole stack of cards in a plastic case.
Even Hwang Jiho who was standing next to me with a card in his hand looked at me with sparkling eyes.
"Even amongst the royal lineage, there are only a few who have the all things ability. You're amazing Jo Eushin,"
He must have already known based on the documents I had submitted during my application.
Pretending was second nature to the yellow tiger.
I guess that was how he was so brazen to mix in with 17-year-old students when in reality he was over 5000 years old.
"I wanted to let you try all the existing weapons. You're the first student to have the all things ability so this was the best we could do."
Ham Geun Hyeond looked at the fully packed card case with a look of regret.
"Since your skill level is only 1 by using these various weapons you can then learn how to level up accordingly…."
"Skill level 1? What a loser."
A loud voice was heard from year 1 class 2.

When he cleared the final chapter of the national network game, he became an unnamed supporting actor in the game.
Unable to measure outside of the standard, an unknown grade, an EX-class supporting actor.

After playing with the armor for a while, only then did the players remember to compare the attributes between the Sunil Soldier Armor with the armor in the shops, and the result was that it was almost the same!
Same quality, a quarter of the price—this was more than worth it!
The players were over the moon. The rest of the players did not observe anymore and paid willingly.
Fifty-something people, more than 40,000 Enas, about the price of two knowledges… Han Xiao smiled. There was more!
Right after, he added a new option in the faction shop page—equipment enhancement!
Han Xiao had held back when he built the armor. Their attributes were just the 'Basic Version'. This was to provide room for enhancement so that he could open another revenue stream!
Repairs and enhancements were long term incomes. Han Xiao had multiple machinery enhancement abilities, so he had what it took to enter the enhancement business. Naturally, Han Xiao was not going to miss this opportunity. Also, he was going to control the level of enhancement that he gave and would not do full enhancements the very first time, leaving room for improvement, hence attracting the players to keep spending.
The Great Mechanic Han was not greedy—by dividing one thing and selling them separately, he could maximize his profits, and the players that did not know this were willing to pay for it. Han Xiao competed with other shops by using cheap, high-quality equipment, to first let the players buy the equipment, then introduce the enhancement option, turning a one-time sale into long term profit.
After all, he had occasionally played single player games in his previous life too, and he was inspired by the gaming companies turning one game into several DLCs[1].
Han Xiao felt nostalgic. Back when he was young, he had been an honest man, but his tiny and pure heart had become polluted by society. Turning bad was not one man's fault, it was the world's fault.
For the following few days, Han Xiao built all the armor. Every player wore Enlistee Class armor—it was like the mercenary group had its uniform. Although the players were all Supers, Enlistee Class armor still proved to be helpful.
As a firm supporter of the Great Mechanic Han, Frenzied Sword was the first one to buy the enhancement. The attributes of the armor increased by around ten percent after the enhancement. Multiple enhancements of the same equipment would have an increased cost. As for the Enlistee Class armor, the first enhancement only cost 60 Enas, the second cost 100, and the third 150. Every fourth enhancement in a row, the price would have a big leap from the previous one; the fourth enhancement cost 300.
The attributes increased by eight to twelve percent with every enhancement. It was low-cost, high profit, and Frenzied Sword vouched for it. The others thought that it was a good deal and followed. After the Sunil mission, the players all had more than 10,000 Enas, and it was burning a hole in their pockets.
Han Xiao had left plenty of room for enhancements when he made the armor—it had to be enhanced at least seven times to reach the limit of his ability. The enhancement business brought made him 23,000 Enas, which meant on average, the fifty plus players all enhanced their armor at least three times!
Han Xiao made 40,000 from selling the armor and 23,000 from enhancing them. Now with more than 67,000 Enas in his account, he more than enough to buy knowledges.
He was having a great time selling, while Herlous was speechless. He found Han Xiao and said with surprise, "How do you know our single unit armor technology?"
He had built Sunil's armor, which would definitely make Herlous question him. Han Xiao laughed and said, "I derived the blueprint during battlefield repairs. Aren't I very skilled?"
Herlous' face twitched. Han Xiao had stolen Sunil's technology, yet he had asked a Sunil to compliment his skill. Even his Battleship Slicing Blade could not cut through skin this thick!
Anyway, with Sunil at its current state, there was no point dwelling on this. Herlous still had to stay with Han Xiao, so he did not care about it. Furthermore, it was not any kind of rare technology—most civilizations had basic single unit armor, just with different styles.
…
In the Area Exchange Center of Juberly Hub, Han Xiao was looking to buy some knowledge.
Having finally made enough money, he was about the complete the class advancement that he had been stuck on for so long. It went without saying, he was quite excited.
The Colton Star Cluster area only had eight Mechanic class advancement knowledges, and Han Xiao glanced through and swiftly chose two.
[Heavy Machine Modification], selling at 25,000!
[Advanced Electromagnetism], selling at 37,000!

The energy in his body was cheering. His class advancement made Han Xiao feel like he had broken through some kind of shackle. His vision became black, and it felt like hours had passed. However, it was actually only half a second. His vision then recovered, but it was very different with before—he could sense much tinier things.
Every time his strength increased, he felt like he had been reborn.
Data Mechanic was also called Experienced Mechanic. His understanding of machinery became even better. The Machinery Affinity at this period would make a huge leap, and among the four new abilities that he had just received, [Magnetic Vision—Data Flow] and [Machinery Analytical Comprehension] were both able to largely increase Machinery Affinity.
Machinery Affinity was a key attribute of the Mechanic, representing the speed, attributes, and power of building and using machinery. [Magnetic Vision—Data Flow] was an active skill, and after activating it, he would enter a special magnetic vision. His magnetic property energy would become his extended senses, revealing the details of the machinery with a magnetic field.
Han Xiao immediately leveled up this skill to Lv.10. Its effect was a twenty-five to fifty percent increase in Machinery Affinity with a twenty energy cost per minute. The percentage increase changed randomly every minute. As its cost was very low, this skill could be activated almost continuously. Unlike [Surging Mechanical Force], this skill could be used in the building process too.
[Machinery Analytical Comprehension] was a passive talent, increasing machinery affinity directly according to Intelligence. Its effect was very powerful—every ten Intelligence increased machinery affinity by one percent. Han Xiao had more than four hundred Intelligence at this moment. This was a key ability for the current stage, increasing the benefit of the Intelligence attribute toward Mechanics. For the foreseeable future, this would be a core ability.
[High Concentration Refining] was the upgraded version of [Basic Refining]. It increased the strength of the raw materials, a very important effect. [Blueprint Refinement] was a passive skill, and it had a chance to be triggered during equipment building. That equipment's blueprint level would temporarily increase by at most three levels, increasing the end product's attributes. There was also a chance to 'crit' during the building process, resulting in an equipment of a higher grade. The chance depended on the user's Intelligence and Luck.
Han Xiao still had 2,500,000,000 experience, so he immediately leveled up all those skills and talents to the max level, using close to 50,000,000 at once. Then, Han Xiao also increased his main class to the max level, LV 15.
After LV 80, the experience to level up multiplied. One level required tens of millions of experience, so leveling up fifteen levels at once cost him 900,000,000 experience. Yet, he did not even blink.

Han Xiao's advantages of being ahead were even more enlarged.
Energy filled his body. If it had been a stream before, it was now a wide river!
Han Xiao took a deep breath and felt the strength of his body. Reveling in the raging energy within him, he opened the interface, spending all the Free Attribute points in Intelligence. Then, he observed his attributes go through astonishing changes.

What do you do when you realize you that you have not only become an NPC - you have even been thrown back in time to before the game even launched! 
What will happen when our protagonist's two realities coincide?

Before Chad left Australia, there was still one thing he needed to do. He had with great restraint put off testing one of the most famous artifacts in the Potterverse for the sake of safety, but now he had plenty of test subjects.
Ravenclaw's Diadem was said to enhance the wisdom of its wearer and was attributed to Rowena Ravenclaw's success, so much so that her own daughter stole it out of jealousy.
Since Chad was not stupid enough to place a magical artifact with unknown abilities and side-effects on his head, he had spent quite a bit of time theorising what its properties actually were.
His first idea was it held all of Ravenclaw's magical knowledge like a downloadable repository, but that had quickly been discarded since her daughter wouldn't have needed to steal it so much as just wear it once or twice.
Next was the possibility to have its wearer make smarter and more wise decisions while it sat atop their heads, but again Chad thought this wasn't the case since Voldemort had decided to split his soul seven times. This was not an example of enhanced wisdom, especially since he did nothing to counter the side effects.
Many possible ideas had flashed through Chad's mind of what the Diadem was capable off, but then a single piece of deduction had poured cold water over his enthusiasm to find out just what it was. Dumbledore surely had to have known where Voldemort's Horcruxes were, but he had not taken them for himself.
Voldemort may have had the charm and skill to find it in the first place, but Dumbledore had manoeuvred the man to leave it at Hogwarts, his power base. It was either that, or the Diadem clearly didn't grant its wearer wisdom since Voldemort thought he was clever by practically handing it over to his most hated foe.
Chad refused to believe Dumbledore was so incompetent that he failed to know there was a Horcrux under his nose when he was in charge of the ward scheme and had an army of house-elves and magical portraits to spy on people. Why would he let Voldemort roam Hogwarts unsupervised?
To be on the safe side, Chad had been operating under the notion that Dumbledore was aware of everything Voldemort was since only an idiot would create a weapon and not keep track of it. Though arrogance may also explain why both Dumbledore and Voldemort did so many retarded things, so anything was possible.
Either way, Chad was now free to field test the legendary item that all Ravenclaws dreamed of owning. As he looked at the muggle struggling in his restraints, he couldn't help but feel his excitement for figuring out the Diadem's attributes return.
Placing it on the test subject's head, Chad proceeded to ask a series of questions and slowly increase the speed he did so. While he did this, he monitored the health of the muggle to find any dangerous side effects.
Repeating the process nine times on different muggles, he replicated the process on ten of his enslaved wizards. After a few hours of 'SCIENCE!' he had worked out just how Rowena had made her name as the smartest witch in history.
The Diadem did not increase its wearer's wisdom or knowledge, it increased the thinking speed. The muggles had not been able to answer questions they didn't know but had fired off answers quickly to those they did. 
Though the muggles had been worn out by prolonged usage, becoming mentally tired. The wizards, however, had been fine, their magic somehow bridging the gap of extended use with no repercussions.
At first, Chad had been underwhelmed by his conclusions as faster thinking speeds didn't sound very impressive. But the knowledge that he pillaged from expert muggle doctors soon made him aware of the many benefits and how overpowered it could be.
Faster thinking could help in many aspects of life:
-When people are required to think quickly, they report feeling happier, more energetic, more creative, and more self-confident.
-Faster thinking can enhance skills critical to success such as planning, goal setting, problem-solving, and the ability to stay focused on tasks.
-Additionally, research confirms that people who think fast are seen by others as more charismatic and self-assured.
-Quick thinking can make you a more efficient student who blasts through research, exams or problem-solving.
-Faster reaction times can also be attributed to better athletic performance.
Essentially, Rowena Ravenclaw would have learnt, reacted and attacked quicker than anyone not naturally blessed with genius levels of brainpower. Making her a very formidable witch.
If his own uneducated first thoughts on the abilities of the Diadem was any indication of why Voldemort and Dumbledore had discarded it as worthless, it was understandable why it had sat unused for decades.
To powerful, arrogant men like them, wearing women's jewellery for seemingly such little gain would have crushed the myth and legend of the artifact for them. With little research into mental agility in their time, they very well may have dismissed it as the frivolous vanity of a woman.
With its secrets now exposed, Chad had felt comfortable using it for himself. Ravenclaw was a witch generations ahead of her time to create something so simple, yet at the same time extremely complex. If only it didn't make him look so gay...
After hours of examination, Chad was still unaware of how she had even created such an item. Much like the Death Shroud and the Resurrection Stone, there were no runes or clues as to how they functioned, and Chad was loath to alter them in any way out of fear of destroying the enchantments.
Since it was only the appearance that made it undesirable to use, Chad would need to suck up his pride and just use the dainty crown when required. He couldn't be bothered to waste so much time trying to recreate such a marvellous item simply because it didn't suit his fashion sense.
With all of his checklist ticked off for his Australian trip, Chad had one of the Black elves teleport him back to Grimmauld place since Boppy would be staying here to lead his house-elves. There were three days until the Hogwarts Express left and Chad wanted to spend a bit of time with Sirius.
"Harry!" Came the surprised voice of his godfather as Chad suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Hey, Sirius, hows things?" He replied nonchalantly.
"Good, now that you are back! Come have a seat, are you hungry?" Sirius asked, mothering him.
It was nice to see just how much the man cared for him, even if it was slightly smothering in nature. If he was a normal child, it would have been acceptable, but Chad had an ad*lt mind and was independent. 
Though even he recognised Sirius only had the best of intentions, and this was the main reason he came back early to see him. The poor guy had seen his life destroyed and was then tortured for ten years. Chad may have been selfish, but he could still help people he cared about or liked.
"I could eat. So what's been happening since I have been gone, I'm afraid I wasn't paying much attention to current affairs." Chad asked while Sirius ordered some food from the house-elf left behind to take care of him.
"Nothing too exciting. McGonagall has been made Headmistress of Hogwarts, much to Malfoy's displeasure. The git probably wanted one of his Death Eater buddies to take over so they could recruit directly. Luckily, Lucius had too much to worry about with the Aurors asking why he 'maintained' Potter property without paying you."
"Your joking, Malfoy was behind the stolen businesses? I thought he would have been smarter than that, though it would explain why they are richer than other 'Dark' Houses." Chad replied thoughtfully.
Malfoy fit the bill, but it seemed too obvious and shortsighted. Lucius must have known Harry Potter would eventually ask questions even if canon Harry was dumb as a plank of wood. Chad had always thought Dumbledore was behind it.
"Yes, it seems Malfoy was lucky enough to procure quite a few lucrative properties just as their owners died. The Aurors can't prove anything with them dead, but you will see all of the earnings made over the years plus a hefty fine paid into your vault!" Sirius smugly announced, he had been quite pleased to stick it to someone he despised.
"Ha! Seeing one of the people that got off with the 'I was under the Imperius Curse' finally get some justice, must have brightened your day! Even if it is only taking his money."
With his smug smile still in place, Sirius delivered an exaggerated bow like a pianist after a magnificent performance. "I was merely doing my duty as Regent of House Potter!"
Chad laughed at his tomfoolery, and his dogfather was quick to join in. Dinner soon appeared on the table by elf magic, and they spent the rest of the night talking about everything and nothing.
It was nice to hear about the man-child's exploits in Hogwarts and even his boasts of wooing the fairer sex. If they had a few beers to drink, it would have been a perfect boys night, reminiscent of his previous life when he got together with friends to get drunk and talk sh*t.
Unfortunately, even if Chad had talked Sirius into giving him free rein over his life, he would have still balked at supplying an eleven-year-old with alcohol. Still, it was a pleasant night of bonding and Sirius seemed like a new man, free from the haunted look that had stayed with him since being released from Azkaban.
The next morning when Chad had come down for breakfast, the smiling visage of Sirius had greeted him. And by the mischievous gleam in his eye, the man had something planned.
"Harry, how would you like to become an Animagus?"

R.O.B was tired of reading about how Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was the greatest wizard of all time and how he craps rainbows. 

He wanted to tear off the facade so that Dark Lord Dumbles is exposed for the villain he really is. To do so, he enlists the help of a like-minded geek and throws him into the body of baby Harry Potter when he was struck with the killing curse.
