Hello, this is my second original novel. I have written up to 5 novels three of which were dropped

"Give me a 10,000 won worth."
An Jaehyun took out 2 five thousand won bills from his wallet. The convenience store's part-time worker tilted his head in a daze.
An Jaehyun adjusted his thick glasses and spoke again.
"Can I get my lottery ticket?"
"Ah, sorry."
The part-time worker snapped out of his daze and took the money. He then smoothly picked out a lottery ticket for An Jaehyun. While handing out the ticket, the part-time worker kept examining An Jaehyun's face.
"Um, have I met you before?"
Putting the lottery ticket in his wallet, An Jaehyun left the convenience store without giving him an answer. At this, the part-time worker titled his head again.
"I feel like I've seen him before… gah, whatever."
The part-time worker shook his head and grabbed his tablet paper from the counter. He unpaused the video and watched it with great interest.
-Mr. Kim Dongsoo, how's the situation right now?
-The Albino Dragon received heavy damage to his right wing. Our first objective has been accomplished.
-What about the losses?
-We lost five so far.
-Do you think you'll succeed in killing the Albino Dragon?
-The Stormhunter Guild is Warlord's greatest guild, and our Hahoe Mask team is its strongest attack team. We don't worry about success or failure. We only worry about how we'll succeed.
-How romantic.
-Haha. Without a bit of romance, who would suffer through such hardships?
The part-time worker smiled lightly as he watched the video.
"As expected of the Stormhunter Guild. It's really the best. None of the other guilds is its match after joining up with the Hahoe Mask Guild.
Following his smile was a slight sense of disappointment.
"What a shame. If only they still had the Hero Slaughterer… what is he doing these days? Did he quit the game completely?"
The part-time worker once again tilted his head at this question. But that was it.
Soon, he silently went back to watching more videos.
An Jaehyun had long disappeared from his mind.
★★★
'Fuck. I can't believe you can't buy a lottery ticket from your home in this day and age. Why do you have to be there in person? What, are people worried a five-year old will buy one online?"
An Jaehyun gritted his teeth remembering the part-time worker from just now.
But his anger soon died down. He remembered the video the part-time worker was watching.
'Albino Dragon. Level 439.'
An Jaehyun had already watched the broadcast. In fact, he even bought the 30,000 won live ticket to watch the raid. The Stormhunter Guild failed four times, barely succeeding on the fifth.
'If I was there with my old team, I would've killed it in first try.'
How sad.
He was sad that the Stormhunter Guild didn't fail, and he was sad that he wasn't there participating.
What he was most sad about though was…
'Damn it. If I killed that thing, I wouldn't need a lottery ticket.'
The value of the Albino Dragon.
It was a huge pile of money. It was the highest leveled monster in Warlord so far. Each raid sold over five hundred thousand live tickets. If the raid was successful, then the edited paid video could get at least ten million views.
'I heard they sold over 350,000 live tickets. They're each 30,000 won to boot.'
A live ticket allowed someone to watch a raid in real-time.
The successful raid video cost money to view, but it easily passed three million views within its first week of release. Although you're only left with about forty percent after taxes and fees, it was still an incredible amount.
There was more.
'A boss monster in the 430s. The item cost…'
Large monsters, especially boss monsters, are pretty much made of money.
Dragons were especially expensive. From the bottom of their tongue to the wrinkles in their anus, every part of them was money.
Their hides were used for defensive items and their bones for weapons. A dragon's heart was the greatest material for a magic weapon, its meat and organs could be used as potion materials, and its eyes sold for a hefty price to a rich collector…
'If a level 400+ unique item pops from those materials, its price would simply be whatever the seller calls.'
At the very least, those materials can make a level 350 gear. The price of those go by the millions. If it's over level 400 or if it's a rare rank, it'd be in the ten millions. If the crafter gets lucky and pops a unique rank, it'd be worth an expensive sports car. Warlord is filled with rich people who would buy something like that without blinking an eye.
Taking all this into account, the Stormhunter Guild probably made about a hundred billion won with the Albino Dragon raid.
That was this era.
Just by killing a single monster in a game, you could earn more than a major corporation affiliate could in a whole year.
"Damn it."
An Jaehyun could have been the hero of this era. Back then, if he just crawled and begged like a dog, if he sold his worthless pride and wagged his tail at that woman…
Or, if he didn't go crazy because of his worthless pride, if he didn't war with them over his anger at their betrayal, if he gave up and started over from elsewhere… he wouldn't be buying lottery tickets and surviving on ramen noodles like now.
Bitter regrets.
"Damn it."
'So I turned out to be the one regretting that day for the rest of my life.'
On that day he was betrayed, the words he yelled haunted him in his nightmares. Because of it, An Jaehyun kicked his bed sheets every night.
An Jaehyun slumped his head down.
"God damn it…"
Just a bit more.
If he wasn't betrayed, he would have obtained wealth and fame along with everyone else.
No, the ones who betrayed him did obtain wealth and fame. Their SNS pages were filled with pictures of them riding the best sports car, going to celebrities' birthday parties, and wearing and using countless brand names.
An Jaehyun was the only one swimming in the sewage.
'5 years….'
An Jaehyun was well past his mid-twenties. He was staring at the 30 year old mark with nothing to show for himself. He was far from any wealth or fame, and he was barely getting by with his gaming skills.
Bzzz!
At that time, An Jaehyun's watch vibrated. He checked its screen and held it next to his ears.
"Brother Taehoon."
-Yo, Jaehyun.
"What's up?"
-What are you doing lately? Still playing Warlord? You didn't delete your character or anything, right?
"The character is still there, but I don't play it anymore."
-What level are you?
"Level 250."
-Gears?
"Bro, don't mess with me. Or are you really curious?"
An Jaehyun clenched his teeth.
He declared war against Stormhunter Guild and the betrayers. He fought against the world by himself.
It wasn't so bad at first. An Jaehyun was strong. No one at his level was his match. He could even win 4 on 1 against higher level players. So at first, he killed anyone he came across. His gain wasn't small either. Items from a Stormhunter Guild member were nothing to scoff at. Each kill could net him about as much as a monthly salary of a major corporation's new employee.
The problem was stamina. If he died once, he wouldn't be able to play for another 48 hours. He was facing up against groups of hundreds of top level players.
As a result, their difference in stamina turned into difference in levels and items. No other guild or raid team would accept him as a member, and many wouldn't even buy his items. Choi Sulyeon was a frightening woman. She overwhelmed An Jaehyun, not through the game, but through the real world.
In the end, An Jaehyun gave up. When he dropped his main weapon from a game over, he quit Warlord. He hasn't played since. He just watched related videos and broadcasts.
It's not like he's given up on games. He looked into other VR games, but none made as much money as Warlord. He managed to get into an AOS game called The Legend, which barely gave him enough to get by.
He met Jung Taehoon in The Legend. He was a broker. He connected skilled players like An Jaehyun with those hopelessly bad at gaming and collected fees.
They haven't had much contact recently. Because of An Jaehyun's over-the-top skills, The Legend admins put a year-long ban to his account. Jung Taehoon was the first one to cut his contact with An Jaehyun.
But now he suddenly called and poked at An Jaehyun's past wounds. It would have made anyone feel bad.
-Sorry.
"Just get to the point. I'm tired of having my hand up."
-Are you perhaps interested in working at a Chinese workshop? It's 5 million won a month, excluding bonuses. All paid in cash.
Hearing his words, An Jaehyun was more sad than happy.
'Fuck.'
A Chinese workshop. It's pretty much a sweatshop. They work people like machines, human rights don't apply. They're just human machines, their personalities and talents ignored completely. It was a place simply to make money.
It was really the end of the line.
People who couldn't do normal part-time jobs went there. For old celebrities like An Jaehyun, going there would be no different to selling organs. It was throwing what little pride he had left down the drain.
Realizing he was at such a point, he felt sorry for himself.
"Bro, I'm the Hero Slaughterer. I've killed those Stormhunter fuckers 733 times, and you're telling me to go to a Chinese workshop and work like dogs?"
If he were going to sell his pride like this, he should've done it a long time ago.
-Come on, don't be so uptight. The conditions are great. Plus, you're probably not going to make much money off Warlord now that all the Top 30 Guilds have you on their wanted list. Your leveling stopped too. You might've been at the top back then, but level 250 now can barely get you to the top one percent. You realize what that means, right? From the 10 million or so players, over a hundred thousand are better than you.
"I know that…"
-Swallow your pride and work for just one year. With your skills, you can earn about a 100 million in a year. You're going to be thirty soon. It's a whole different life from then. You should have at least a 100 million prepared.
"No, no, I'm fine. I'm hanging up."
-Call me if you change your mind. There's always a spot open for you.
An Jaehyun lightly spun his watch dial with an expression full of anger. The call ended. He wanted to chuck his phone, but it was impossible for a watch-type phone. Even if he could, he wouldn't because of the cost.
'God damn it.'
Could things get any worse? An Jaehyun wanted his messed up life to be a bad dream.
But,
'5 million.'
He didn't want to fall and give in to his life.
Moreover, he had confidence.
'Warlord is hard for me right now, but Warlord isn't the only game. If I get that 100 million, wait until a decent game comes out, start playing from the beginning, get into the top rankings, and make a guild… given 2,3 years I could probably…'
An Jaehyun definitely had talent. He may be socially awkward, tone deaf, hopeless at sports, and uneducated in real life, but in the game world, he had the confidence to not lose to anyone.
An Jaehyun lifted his hand.
"Jung Taehoon."
He knew it was unsightly to accept an offer he had just refused, but he didn't think much of it.
[Calling Jung Taehoon.]
An Jaehyun put his wrist watch next to his ears, and he listened to the ringtone. It was Michael Jackson's Billie Jeans. The half-a-century old song sounded fresh in his ears.
At that moment.
CRASH!
A giant truck struck the bus station An Jaehyun was waiting in.
-Good decision, Jaehyun! Let's do this! With these conditions, you can totally pull it off. Right? Jaehyun? Say something!
An Jaehyun.
He was 29 years old.

Year 2035. The Virtual reality game, Warlord, changed the world. An Jaehyun was one of the many who wished to change his life through the game. After dedicating his life to the game, he was met with a betrayal. A betrayal by his comrades. As a result, he lost everything. But a chance was given to him. A chance to redo everything again! "I won't play with others again. Whatever the outcome, I'll show that I can do it alone." Others rolled a dice to split the spoils of victory. An Jaehyun ate it all by himself. It was the start of An Jaehyun's solo game life.

"Well, Princess, this judgment would cost a lot of people a lot of money, including the school government from loss of taxes. How do you propose that we make up the lost revenue?" The questions and challenges went on for a long time. Longer than any other time after Alexandra had sat in judgment. She answered the questions carefully, giving her ruling more thought now than she had when she was filled with anger at the waste of time and money feeding both families' greed. As time passed she became certain that her solution was indeed just. She defended it with passion and conviction. The sun had gone down and the discussion had moved into the town hall. Alexandra had defended her ruling and gone into the various arenas of taxes, hospitality, the reason for the existence of magic and rights of ownership. In the end the markers gave the princess her ruling, not just in the specific case, but the general ruling. It was unprecedented in the history of the school, that a student ruling of such magnitude would be upheld. The discussion went right up to the Board of Governors. It confirmed Alexandra as the best student in the history of the school, and it confirmed her status as the outcast of her class.
After every turn at being judge the children would sneak into the common room after lights out and reenact the day's events to gales of muffled laughter. The evening after Alexandra's turn the children met as usual, but because she was still defending her ruling to the markers she wasn't part of the group. Princess Anaeth took the part of Princess Alexandra and both parties; she portrayed all of them with brutal sarcasm. She had just got to Alexandra's condemnation of the greed of the petitioners and was throwing herself into the part with great abandon.
"You pitiful peasants, you are sooo disgusting. Don't you ever take a bath? But that's right this is a court of law...well, sort of anyway. You people shouldn't be so greedy; after all just be-cause you own the spring doesn't mean you have any right to the water. You should drink out of the town well just like every-one else. You should poison the spring so no one else can use it. While we're at it, why don't we just poison all the magic springs? After all we can't have any of you poor slobs making any money, you might start taking baths..." Anaeth trailed off as she realized that her audience had been distracted. Alexandra stood in the doorway looking exhausted. "Hail to our exalted judge. The markers must have really run you over the coals. After that ruling you will be lucky not to be sent back to Page. Didn't you learn anything in all those boring classes? You don't mess with the tax base. Royalty needs greedy people so they will make money and give it to us. You are a little idiot."
"They gave me my ruling, even the general part of it, pending approval of the School Board of Governors. It took so long because I had to defend the changes in tax structure needed to make up the income lost because of incidental magic being freely available." Alexandra turned as if to leave, ignoring the gasps and even subdued cheering of the other children, but Anaeth stood with her hands clenched and shaking with her rage.
"You're lying. They would never let a little snit like you set that kind of precedent. You must be lying." The beautiful girl was blotchy with rage.
"Why would I lie?" Alexandra said quietly. "You will find out the truth in the morning anyway."
"You fraud, you aren't even a real princess. You have no enchantment to bring a prince to marry you. You will be an old maid, and your kingdom will die."
"Someone else made you a princess, Anaeth. You could be completely brainless. A potato could be a princess in your kingdom if it could fall asleep, and had lips to kiss. Someone else will rule your kingdom; someone else will choose your husband. It doesn't matter who you are or what you are like. You are irrelevant." The Unenchanted Princess turned again and left the room with, though she didn't know it, a grace that left Anaeth speechless with fury.
The following morning Anaeth saw the posting of Alexandra's ruling, and worse, that Alexandra had been made a "Duchess" and was now Anaeth's superior. The tantrum she threw was legendary, but its only effect was to send her to bed with a raging headache. For the foreseeable future, Anaeth would have to obey the Unenchanted Princess.
As soon as she regained control of herself, Anaeth wrote her mother.
The next week the school had a visit from the Queen of Sopo. The princess was closeted with the school council for the better part of the afternoon. No one ever knew what had been spoken of in that meeting. One student swore that she had happened to be at the door as the visitor left.

hari was very angry and confused after getting new missions. he knew he already registered every possible member from this village. even if he decided to register hunters from the first village it only 15 hunters left in there.

'do I need to start search other villages now' hari thought himself. after thinking a few minutes hari decided to ask help from AI ASSISTANT just like every time.

"HARI, I THINK YOU ARE CONFUSED ABOUT THE GUILD. YOU THINK GUILD IS SAME AS ADVENTURE GUILD. BUT ADVENTURE GUILD ONLY PART OF GUILD. LIKE ADVENTURE GUILD, MERCHANT GUILD, FARMERS GUILD, BLACKSMITH GUILD, ALCHEMY GUILD, RUNE MASTER GUILD, MASTER TEACHER GUILD...ETC ALL ARE PART  OF THE GUILD. WHICH MEANS ALL TYPE OF JOBS AND THERE RESPECTIVE GUILD IS PART OF THE GUILD. WHICH MEAN EVERY PEOPLE IN YOUR VILLAGE ARE A PROSPECTIVE MEMBER. IT IS YOUR SKILL TO MAKE THEM JOIN"

     after hearing this hari felt relaxed. he decided to visit Agnes and Billy and let them know the guild will completely open from tomorrow onwards.

      when hari took some meat and gave Billy a salary of the day. Billy asked him to change his salary into two silver coin like hari proposed before. hari knew this will happen sooner or later. but he was happy because the value of money started to get a hold in the village.

 just like Billy, Agnes also asked salary in coin now onward. she also knows about guild and money from Joseph who visited her.

.....

      next day morning, It was the first day of work for billy and agnes. they reached guild early along with Joseph. 

"billy, agnes you guys came early"

"I thought with my leg I need few hours to climb.and agnes decided to come with me"

"then why are you came?" hari looked at Joseph.

" I decided to start lending business, my wife is proprietor"

"I don't want your money" hari was mad at billy due to jealousy.

" Actually I came to buy the sword"

"I thought you don't know swordsmanship "

"yes, I wanted to show it off, it's my idea to make others jealous of me."

"but hunters still don't buy like before"

"I know, but it's not aimed at them.its hunters wives who will become jealous. every woman jealous of other women's husbands."

"I don't care anymore, as long as you gave me the money"

    hari didn't let him wait much time he bring the sword and sold to Joseph. only then he decided to show spear and armour to Joseph.

" Brother, Joseph so you like my new collection"

"why don't you show me before, I wouldn't have bought this sword"

 hari smiled sheepishly.

"who cares, I am rich... I will give this sword to my boy to play. give one spear and armour...no make it two..buying a replacement is good.. ha...ha" Joseph started to flaunts his money like a Nouveau riche.

"20 gold for spear and  50 gold for armour. for two set hundred and forty gold coin please"

" how much, hari are you robbing me"

"This spear is a hundred times better than the spear you using. for armour, only mana awakened people can Brock its defence. which mean no monsters near our village can make a scratch including dead Alfa wolf"

"then I can gift one to my wife. is this suitable for women to wear ?"

"don't worry about that..it made high-level leather and it has unisex design"

 hari explained like an experienced salesman. at last, Joseph bought 2 sets like he said, and decided to leave immediately.

"Brother Joseph, why are you leaving this fast. I want to talk to you"

"sorry brother hari, I don't want to know anything. if I spent money again my wife is going to kill me"

"it's not about money"

"then what?"

"why don't let your wife and child join guild too"

" but they are not hunters, I don't want them risk by doing it"

" actually guild is not only for hunters. but it's for every profession.guild will help others to help improve their profession. for example, we can teach your wife how to do the math, bookkeeping..etc , for your son we can teach him fighting methods"

"When will class going to start"

"soon, when everything ready"


" then I will let them join that time"

"no ... no... let them join today"

" why? is there any benefit of joining now"

" actually, from tomorrow onwards every morning one hour I will teach how to read and write to members who interested"

"then I will ask them" after saying this Joseph was about to leave the guild

"I think you guys learn too" hari called out him.

"why would hunters like us waste time studying."

"There will be a library in guild soon. there will be fighting techniques such as basic sword techniques, basic spear techniques will be available for study.there will also body strengthening art which helps improve your star level fastly."

" is this body strengthening art is suitable for everyone"

" yes, actually just practising it with suitable blood intake everyone can reach peak star level"

" then I will let them join" after saying that Joseph hurriedly left. after that hari looked at the newly joined employees.

"you guys should study too.."

 actually, hari was planning to ask Ted to be a teacher after he came back from village.but after seeing Agnes he remembered she too was a illitrate. he felt how foolish he was to select a receptionist who can't even complete a form.so he decided to teach Agnes how to read and write.

when Joseph asked the benefits of joining now he thought to teach a few more people don't waste his time more. 

 
   after that hari helped Agnes and Billy Register guild free of charge. and then he told them their responsibility in the guild and let them familiarise in The guild.

....
 
somewhere in the forest. a group of 30 wind wolves looking at the bustling village silently. Every wolves mouth started to drool like the beggar who found a tasty meal.

in every fantasy world, there will be a guild master who supports and protect the world until a hero is born...or we can say every hero is the fruit of the hard work of a guild master
this is a story about a guild master who creates a legend himself.

Bai Youquan tried to struggle, but discovered that he was powerless to free himself from Wang Ling's clutches. Actually, if this was an ordinary situation, Wang Ling could choose to forcefully search the other party's memories if they refused to answer the question. Unfortunately, he couldn't use this tactic with Bai Youquan.
Although Wang Ling had already taken Bai Youquan's Fate Dao, it still belonged to the latter. Once Fate Dao was used, Bai Youquan's mind space would turn into chaos as the memories of the Bai Youquans from all the other parallel worlds would be jumbled up like paste, and difficult to tell apart.
Wang Ling was in no hurry to interrogate Bai Youquan; he still had Odd Zhuo, after all – it was only right that this sort of menial task was left to his disciple.
After casting the Great Prohibition Spell on Bai Youquan, Wang Ling returned to his original body. Bai Youquan could currently be described as a locust without its shell, and utterly useless. The more terrifying thing, moreover, was that, as the head of the black soldier army, he would be put in the special cell to play nice with the mahjong trio.
This would also be the first time that the mahjong room would have four people; they would no longer need to find people from the other prison cells to make up the number.
Interrogating Bai Youquan would take some time, and couldn't be done hastily. But with Bai Youquan's prison invasion, Wang Ling had at least determined what the black soldier army organization's objective was – it was very clear that they were after his little sister, Wang Nuan. Zheng Tianqiang and Wu Yuanji might have been targeted because she had granted them special powers.
Based on the Wang family's genes… Wang Ling believed Wang Nuan probably had a special type of Great Dao ability, on par with Heavenly Dao, Divine Dao and Fate Dao. In addition, this ability was similar to Fate Dao, and was an endowment in nature: It could activate a person's shadow and give a person a quick power-up in a short period of time. At the same time, they gained the ability to manipulate shadows.
But Wu Yuanji and Zheng Tianqiang clearly could only manipulate shadows at the most basic level.
If this was the power of a Great Dao, it certainly wouldn't just be as simple as this bestowed ability… 
Which was why Wang Ling was thoroughly alarmed.
His little sister wasn't born yet… She hadn't even been inside Mother Wang's belly for half a month, but she already knew how to make trouble… After she was born, she would definitely be Red Flame Mad Devil Mo Xiaobei[1]!
It was September 22nd, the thirty-ninth day of the summer break.
Songhai First Prison was attacked by an unknown force. Director Odd Zhuo, who had been carrying out an investigation, took the lead and successfully held them back along with Warden Liang, saved all the prison combat officers, and even apprehended a sub-leader of the unknown force along with one hundred members of this gang – the news exploded online.
Odd Zhuo became more famous than ever.
The scene last night of Wang Ling casting a Heavenly Dao spell while in Odd Zhuo's body was also perfectly recorded by the prison cameras. Although no one could understand what the spell was, they were already deeply shaken by the abstruse and complicated array runes of the Tian Gang Infinite Health Array.
Some of Odd Zhuo's peers in particular were secretly anti-fans who went around saying that Odd Zhuo's reputation was an empty one and that he didn't have any real talent. A lot of people were very unhappy with how Odd Zhuo would run to take credit basically any time there was a battle that didn't have reliable video evidence – how could such a person be a leader?
But the combat strength that Odd Zhuo displayed last night instantly left this bunch of anti-fans speechless… 
His battle stance was graceful, to say nothing of the fact that they couldn't even find the array runes in the dictionary!
Thus, the moment the surveillance video was released, Odd Zhuo was instantly elevated to new heights by his peers, and he even had the honor of being bestowed a new nickname — a man who secretly takes extra lessons.
Wang Ling was highly interested in the interrogation. Once there was progress, Odd Zhuo would instantly report it to Wang Ling.
As for Wang Ling… 
There were two things which worried him.
Based on the fluctuations coming from Wu Yuanji's and Zheng Tianqiang's bodies, Wang Ling determined that, while Wang Nuan had granted them their abilities, it hadn't been deliberate, and could be called an unintentional mistake.
It would be ten months before Wang Nuan popped out, and there was likely to be plenty of fetal movement during this period of time.
Wang Ling was already adept at drawing Dao talisman seals, so he wondered if he should draw one for Ah Nuan, and at least prevent her from accidentally leaking energy when she rolled around in the belly.
Thus, as the news was talking about Odd Zhuo that morning, Wang Ling raised Wang Nuan's matter with Father Wang. Drawing a talisman seal or whatnot meant extra spending: the talisman paper and special materials required cost about a thousand yuan.
This wasn't a large sum of money. In fact, as long as Wang Ling used his "Ling Zhenren" identity to ask around in the group, no one would refuse him the cash.
But Wang Ling wasn't in the habit of asking outsiders for money. Family matters were an internal affair, and should be handled internally.
This was also one of the family rules that Father and Mother Wang had drawn up for Wang Ling.
After hearing the whole story, Father Wang pushed up his glasses and then put down his coffee. "That's a good idea. But you'll have to earn the money yourself. As a reminder, you have to earn money with the abilities of a regular cultivation high school student, which means that your strength should be at the late Foundation Establishment stage at the very most. If you exceed this realm, two hundred yuan will be deducted from your allowance next month."
"…"
Wang Ling had thought Father Wang would readily agree – he never thought that this biological father of his would actually tell him to earn the money himself… 
As expected of his biological father… 
"It's not a large sum, and I could give it to you. But, Ling Ling, think about it – this is a big brother's feelings for a little sister. If the talisman you draw for your little sister is created from materials gathered with your own hard work, I believe that Ah Nuan will be very touched after she's born!"
After giving his earnest advice, Father Wang patted Wang Ling on the shoulder. "Go and think of something first. If there's really nothing you can do, your dad will give you the money."
This was a flawless statement; in the end, Wang Ling couldn't find an excuse to ask for the money.
Father Wang watched Wang Ling go up the stairs and felt a sense of satisfaction.
The moment Mother Wang fell pregnant with Wang Nuan, Father Wang had already decided to groom Wang Ling into a sis-con, to ensure that the brother and sister had a harmonious relationship.
Actually, there wasn't much further to go at this point in time… 
And so came Wang Ling's second worry: a part-time job.
He, a sixteen-year-old high school student, taking up a part-time job… 
Would anyone hire him?
Wang Ling was highly doubtful… 
He decided to first figure out what he could do.
Based on the Wang family's rules for a part-time job, the main thing was that he wasn't allowed to use his innate Heavenly Dao ability to make money. In other words, this decree directly forbade Wang Ling from using Heavenly Dao spells to make money, which would have been easy for him.
Then, putting these sort of fantastical jobs aside, what else could he do?
Work as a temp at a convenience store?
Hand out leaflets on the street?
Or work at KFC?
... 
A little survey: What sort of work do you Wang Ling could do?
[1] A character in "My Own Swordsman."

But now that he’s sixteen, he faces his greatest battle yet - Senior High School. With one challenge after another popping up, his plans for a low-key high school life seem further and further away...
Wang Ling: I just want to eat my crispy noodle snacks in peace...
Father Wang: If you're careless enough to destroy the country, it’s coming out of your pocket money. 
Wang Ling: It’s not my fault that the backlash from punching me kills you.

Arriving at the lecture hall, he doesn't see Jake so he sits down at the back of the lecture hall.

15 minutes pass by and Jake still hasn't entered despite being over 10 minutes into the lecture.

...

Soon it is the end of the lecture and he hasn't seen Jake, left with nothing to do, Ronan walks back towards his dorm, somewhat panicking, using all that time to finish the textbooks would be a waste if he can't collect the money.

After arriving at his dorm the first thing he does is text Jake and wait for a response, whilst waiting he starts fixing more bugs on his app.

'Turns out there's a lot more to do with this app than what I planned, then again I was a newbie starting a fairly big project but the only reason it has taken off was mainly from Jake, it seems like he had managed to spread it pretty far and wide.' Ronan was thinking of the many reasons why his app was taking all his time.

1 hour later and Jake still hadn't gotten back to him, so he called.

"Hey Jake, so you ill or something?" Ronan got through to Jake when he called.

"No, something just came up, I'll be busy for a couple of days, a week at most, if you want to hand in those textbooks you can either wait or give them to one of my 'minions', they'll be in a lecture in 2 days with the money." Jake replied with a somewhat tired voice.

"I'll wait, my apps taking up 3/4 of my time anyway and I can use these days to rest and focus on my app." Ronan said, whilst opening up his statistics on his laptop.

"Oh, I forgot to thank you for telling your friend about it, it became somewhat popular so now I have to do all kinds of bug fixes and look for various advertising platforms. I'll be getting my first paycheck from it as well in a couple of days." Ronan carried on, spilling everything to Jake as if they were part of the same family.

"That's good, you still want the textbooks to fill out? If the apps taking up most of your time maybe you want to stop with the textbooks, especially if you can make more money from the app." Jake started the sentence tired but ended almost exhausted.

"You sound tired, anyway I'll think about it and get back to you later, go sleep or something, it's not good for your health." Ronan replied while thinking 'Damnit, now I'm starting to sound like the system, at least I didn't make him run for 2 hours a day, that'd be killer.'

After hanging up Ronan looked at his statistics, just over 55k now, over 5k in 1 day, but compared to previous days it's starting to die down, with the advertisements maybe it'll get a new boost of people.

Ronan went to sleep thinking about his various plans on how to improve his app.

....

Ronan woke up to his alarm, he had set one the previous day because he was feeling more and more tired, getting up at the same time to run and use all his energy on coursework and his app, then he would have to find more time to complete the textbooks for various people for money. All in all, it was extremely tiring for Ronan.

'At some point, I'm going to have to create a schedule for my day, not just for running.' Ronan thought whilst getting ready to run again.

...

After running Ronan checked his stats and went back to a day of grinding the bugs down in his app and soon the day was over.

...

The next day Ronan woke up from his alarm, he was going to a lecture today to hand in the textbooks so he doesn't forget in the future, it was also the day he was getting paid, it was supposed to be tomorrow, but its the weekend so as the last day of the workweek, so he gets paid a day early.

After the lecture was done, he took a look at his Riverwood account, the money wasn't directly put into his bank account, but it could be set up that way, as Riverwood had many different products and services for sale you could get a discount if you use money inside your Riverwood account and the main reason why he kept the money inside the Riverwood account was due to this, you could withdraw money, but not deposit money into your account.

$1747

It was only $1747 but it was still a large amount, but considering that he doesn't get that amount, he has to take off the $262 that he pays the Agency, in total he gets $1485, which is still a large amount of money and because he paid for the majority of his apps features (Advertising on other websites, servers, Riverwood, etc.), he doesn't have to exchange it unlike the money from his textbooks, so he can buy a prosperity point with it, but it was not recommended so as he would have next to nothing left if he did, making it harder for him to gain more money in the future, especially if the app flops and he only manages to make 1 month worth of money out of it, despite it being in its infant stage and it only being available for around a week.

Ronan spends the next few hours looking at the various products and services he can buy at Riverwood, he buys some essential items such as DDoS protection so they can't target his servers, setting that up only took several minutes as both Riverwood and the company he was renting services from we're part of the same business group and they have worked together hundreds of times.

Ronan Atkins is a 20-year-old student, he studies Business Administration at Trinity College, it is considered as one of the best colleges to learn Business Administration in the world and in order to obtain a scholarship Ronan had to pass many tests, most of which have nothing to do with the actual course he was studying in, after passing all those tests he was finally given the scholarship he dreamed off, but even after getting the scholarship his life was hard, he had to work several jobs in order to pay for food and accommodation.
Until one day, when he is working part-time at a convenience shop something happens...

Chapter 2. Loan sharks and school

After that things went smoothly for Ren and his family. With the help of detective Yagami, Ren was able to quickly collect his reward money.

After all the taxes, the money he received was 75% of the total amount meaning he received a total of 7.5 million yen.

Ren was sad because of this and cursed the tax department for a whole night but he was able to recover from that.

But the next blow Ren received was bigger than before. In his happiness, he had forgot that he still had a debt to pay.

After a day of getting the money, the debt collectors visited his home.

"Hey, kid I heard you have made a fortune. How about paying your debt back now"

Seeing big burly men in a black suit standing in his house was not a pleasant thing.

Ren knew he can't hide from them, so he decided to confront the situation head on.

"I will pay the 2 million debt"

"2 million? Kid, are you joking with us"

"What do you mean joking? I am paying the debt, so take it and get out from here"

At those words, the burly man with red hair who was the leader snickered and said.

"Hey, kid the debt is 5 million, not 2 million"

"5 million? Are you on drugs, my father only took 2 million from you"

"Hehehe, your father certainly took 2 million but the amount written in the IOU is 5 million"

The red haired man said as he showed Ren the copy of the IOU.

After reading the IOU, Ren's eyes were bloodshot and veins were throbbing on his forehead.

"You have tempered with the IOU"

"Tempered! No, kid it was your dad who didn't read it through as he didn't have much time"

The debt his father had taken was because of his grandmother. At that time, she was in the hospital swinging between life and death.

To save her, his father had taken a debt but before his grandmother operation, his father had died.

Unable to handle the death of the son, his grandmother had also died.

The hospital hadn't returned their money saying that it wasn't their fault that his grandmother died.

It was a tragic story that had destroyed his family.

"I will go to the police"

"Police! You can certainly go to them but you should know that we also have our connections"

Ren was in a bind now, he wanted to call detective Yagami but he knew the situation wasn't in their favour.

The loan sharks have all the right documents. Even if he take this case to the court, it was not certain that he will win.

Moreover, he didn't have much money to spend on the court and the lawyers.

In the end, he had to gave away 5 million Yen to the loan sharks. It was his money but the loan sharks had snatched it away.

He reluctantly transferred 5 million to the loan sharks and got the original IOU in return.

"Thanks and if you want to take a loan, you can contact us"

As the men was about to leave the house, Ren yelled.

"Wait a minute"
"What kid? Are you angry now"
"Yeah, want to have a go with us"

"You all think that it is the end! You have dare to snatch my money, I will not let you go"

"Ha, you are being gutsy, kid. Let me teach you a lesson"

A man said as he moved his legs to punch Ren but he was too slow.

Before he knew it, a punch had attacked his stomach and he was on the ground.

Ren improved senses has made his fighting capability increase tremendously and because of his part time jobs, his body was sturdy and strong.

He can easily take care of some adults.

"Ha kid, you want to fight, huh"
"Let's give this kid a lesson"
"Yeah, he think too highly of himself"

As the burly man were going to fight Ren, their leader stopped them.

"It's enough. We got our money. Let's end it"

The burly men helped the man who was on the ground to stand and before going, their leader glanced at Ren and said.

"You got guts kid but your guts can't do much in this dark world. If you really think that what happened with you was unfair, then become a man with both power and money, then I will bow down to you and apologies to you"

With that the burly man left, leaving Ren with the IOU and the rest 1.5 million Yen. It was good that his brother and mother wasn't at home or they will be shocked to see Ren sitting helplessly on the ground.

* * * 

Ren was depressed because his money was taken away but he knew that if he can earn money once, he can also earn money twice.

He wanted to show the loan sharks that he can rise in this dark and lonely world just because of his guts, he also wanted to give his family a good life.

After being robed off his money, he was only left with 1.5 million Yen.

With this sum, he rented a good house for his family and they soon began living there.

The house was spacious with three rooms and the neighbours were also good. It was also close to his brother's school. It was perfect for them.

But Ren received another shock when his mother report was revealed by the hospital.

* * * 

"What do you mean? Why does my mother have to be admitted into the hospital"

Ren stared at the doctor in from of him as asked. The doctor can see a hint of fear in Ren's eyes.

Ren had make his mother do a general check-up as he was worried about her health but the results are way beyond than what he thought would be.

"Don't worry, your mother would be fine after some months of rest in the hospital"

"I wanted to know what type of illness my mother had?"

"Well, in particular your mother didn't have any major illness but her body is too weak"

"Weak?!"

"Yeah, she already have a weak constitution and after doing three jobs in a day without taking any break, her body had become too weak"

"So, what can I do, doctor"

"You have to admit her in the hospital for at least a year if you want complete recovery. If you don't, then she will probably collapse"

"No, doctor please admit my mother in the hospital"

This way, Ren's mother was admitted in the hospital. Ren was very concerned about her mother's health, so he immediately admitted her in a good hospital.

Although it was expensive, he can still afford it with the money he had.

* * * 

"Ren, I told you I don't want to be admitted"

"No, mother your health comes first. What if something happened to you….."

Ren was currently in the hospital ward of his mother. He had admitted his mother into this hospital but his mother was reluctant to be admitted in a expensive hospital.

"I am fine and what about the money. That money will not last for a lifetime"

"Don't worry mother, I will do a part time job"

Although the remaining money was enough for them to live for some time, it wasn't enough to last a lifetime.

So, Ren had to again work hard to make money from his part time jobs.

"Part time job. No, you will not do it again. You have been suffering for 2 years. I want you to live a normal life"

"I am still living a normal life mother, working for my family is not a hard job"

"No, you think I don't know how much pain you suffer everyday to earn money for us. Ren….I am sorry that I can't give….you a normal life"

"…"

At this time, Ren can just hold her mother in his arms and assure her that he will be okay.

* * * 

After all the things, Ren returned to one place where he didn't want to return at all, his school.

He had been skipping school for at least two weeks, so he felt a little unfamiliar with the surroundings.

After he walked in the classroom, all eyes were glued on him.

He could even hear whispers between some students.

"Hey, what is he doing here?"
"I don't know. I heard he was expelled from school"
"Yeah, there was also a rumour that he was involved with the police"

Strange rumours have started in the school about Ren's absence.

Ren wasn't surprised by this. Various rumours have circulated about him in the school, most of them which are bad. He had been treated as a troublemaker both by students and teachers.

That's why he didn't have any friends.

"Oh, I thought that I will not see you till my retirement"

Ren smiled when he heard the familiar voice behind him. He turned around to see Shiki sensei standing there looking at him with angry eyes.

Shiki sensei was a old man closing his 50s and the only person in school who genuinely cares about Ren.

After knowing his family situation, he had helped Ren quite a lot.

He was also favoured by the students because of his good attitude and care.

"Let's talk in the faculty room"

Seeing the eyes of the students around him, Shiki sensei led Ren to the faculty room.

After they reach the faculty room, Shiki sensei sat on a chair and stared at Ren.

"You are in big trouble, you know"

"I know"

Ren obviously knew he was in big trouble. He had skipped school for two weeks without any notice. 

"If you know, then you must also have a good reason for it"

"Yes, I have"

"Tell me the reason, if it's feasible, then I will talk to the principal"

Ren smiled as he started narrating the events that happened to him in these two weeks and the more he told, the more surprised Shiki sensei became.

"So, you are saying that you paid off your debt and got involved in capturing a murderer, and your mother is in the hospital right now. That's why she can't come to the school"

"That basically what's happen"

"You are saying the truth right?!"

Shiki sensei said with a doubting gaze.

"You could ask the police and the hospital if you don't believe me"

Shiki sensei called the police and the hospital to confirm Ren's words and he found out what Ren was saying was the truth.

After contemplating things, he looked towards Ren and said.

"You know it was dangerous, right"

"I know but I was able to pay off my debt this way"

"Yeah, it is good, you can not gain profit without taking any risks"

"It is certainly true"

"You can go now but make sure to come to school daily, now that you don't have to worry about your debt"

"Thank you sensei"

Shiki sensei sighed as he saw Ren going back to the classroom.

* * * 

Ren entered the classroom admist the gazes and whispers of his classmates.

He didn't care much about what his classmates think of him as he only have to attend this school for this year.

From the next year, Ren would be a high school student. Although he didn't want to go to high school but his mother wanted him to continue his education. So, he can't slack off.

The next periods went by quickly. Ren just keep sitting on his seat at the back and listened to all the lectures.

Some teachers were stunned by this as Ren always sleep in class and teachers also ignore him. Their English teacher even asked him if he was sick.

The truth was that he was too tired because of his part time jobs and because of the boring lectures, he quickly fell asleep in the class.

Like that the lunch break came. Students were eating their tasty lunches but Ren only had a bread to eat.

He was eating just a plain bread to save some money. For him, every penny was important.

He wasn't just eating his lunch but also thinking about what to do about his family situation.

He can easily sustain his family by doing part time jobs but it will be too time consuming and inefficient.

Now, that he have some money, he can choose a more efficient job that will earn more.

As he was thinking about what to do, he heard the voices of some students close to his seat.

Most of the students talking were geeks and otakus with glasses. Even in this world otakus are a thing.

They were talking about a topic that greatly interest him, AAO meaning Ancient Age Online.

"Hey, have you heard that the official release date of the game has been announced"

"Yeah, I have heard of it. We will be high school students by the time it will be released"

"I have already decided to save my pocket money to buy the headset to play the game"

It was about the release date of the game. 

'It seems like AAO will be released the next year' thought Ren.

For some days he was busy with moving houses , that's why he didn't knew that the release date of the game was revealed.

He continued to listen to the conversation of the otakus.

"Do you plan to become a pro gamer?"

"Pro gamer! I have not thought about it but it seems like a good idea"

"Yeah, why not we create a guild"

"Guild? The method of creating a guild still hasn't revealed yet"

"We will find about it once we start to play"

Their conversation was about becoming pro gamers. Otakus who hate the reality will really like the idea of becoming a pro especially in a VR game.

Their conversation also greatly intrigued him. He was stuck on a word 'pro gamer' as he continued to listen to the conversation.

"Hey, can we also join the conversation"

As their voices was loud, it had attracted the attention of some of the normies as they also joined the conversation.

The normies headed by a handsome boy whose name was Minami joined the conversation.

AAO is a game which everyone is interested in, whether they are students, teachers or married women.

The otakus probably wanted to disagree seeing their expressions but they coincided seeing the cute girls.

"Pro gamer hah, it can be a good job"

"Yeah, we can have fun and earn money too"

"Hehe, if Minami-kun made a guild, I will surely join it"

"Yeah, I think Minami can be a good guild leader"

"You think so"

Ren snickered hearing the conversation of the normies.

'It doesn't mean you will be good in games especially a VR just because you are slightly popular and have a handsome face' thought Ren.

The conversation was now being controlled by Minami and the otakus can just watch.

It was the outcome of having a good and popular speaker in your group. Every conversation will automatically be led by him.

Ren wasn't interested in their talks now, he already got the answer he has been looking for.

He will become a pro gamer.

Ren was a transmigrator who didn't get anything like the system or a cheat.

He only got a loving family who he cherishes very much.

But a chance encounter changed his destiny and he started playing the world's first VRMMORPG.

It is a story about his legends.

"You have made the transaction without my permission?" Mag snapped. He was excited, though, as he stared at the sweet, shining strength bag in his head.
"Yes. And I don't want to hear your complaints."
"Oh yeah? What if I told you I don't want to make money anymore?"
"I'd say you are crazy. Money talks. Money makes the world go round. There are many obstacles between you and becoming the God of Cookery, but with enough money in your pocket, you can make them all go away. You cannot survive without money."
"I can survive well enough even if I only work three days a week, don't you think?"
"The next 0.5 strength: 50,000 gold coins! As long as you have enough money, you can slay trolls, demons, dragons! You can kill anything that stands in your way!" The system paused a moment. "Sorry, I got a little carried away."
Mag nearly jumped up from the chair. "50,000?! That's highway robbery!" I have worked so hard to earn that 10,000.
The second 0.5 strength increase is as much as 50,000 already. I believe the price of the third will go through the roof.
But, I have to admit slaying dragons sounds much more tempting than becoming the God of Cookery. He recalled the scenes where he had killed dragons, and felt a little fired up.
Still, he wouldn't go back on his promise to make Amy the Manchu Han Imperial Feast. He had to become the God of Cookery.
What pissed him off was that the system kept reminding him of that these days.
After a while, the system said, "You can touch the bag now, but—"
Before it could finish, Mag had already done it. An electric shock went through his body immediately, stirring his every cell. His body went numb; he couldn't even feel his tongue. He opened his eyes.
Yabemiya withdrew her hands right away, taking two steps back, shocked. Her fingers tingled as if she had got stung by Mag's shoulders.
"Are you all right, Boss?" Yabemiya asked with concern as she looked at his hair standing up.
"Yeah. I think so." He had a puzzled look on his face.
"But…" Part of her wanted to laugh. The other part was a little worried.
"Don't worry. Go clear the tables. I'll go get some fresh air outside." When he touched the metal handle, he got shocked again. He slammed the door as he walked out.
What happened? Yabemiya didn't understand. She started cleaning.
"Did you do that on purpose?!" Mag roared. "Are you an AED[1] or something? Did I look like I needed an electric shock?!"
It was all Mag could do not to laugh when he saw the shadow of his big head.
"I tried to warn you, but you didn't want to listen," the system replied with malicious pleasure in its voice.
Its answer failed to appease Mag. "But I didn't get shocked last time."
"Your body had sustained the harm from poisons, magic spells, and curses. Although I cleansed it of all of them, your cells remained vigorless. An electric shock is the most effective and efficient way to revive them. You didn't feel the shock the first time, because I didn't have to revive so many cells."
Mag nodded. "I see." Then his eyes went wide. "Does that mean the shock will only get stronger next time?!"
"I'll try to be careful."
"Thank you." You bastard.
Mag had thought he could buy his way to becoming a stronger man without having to face any danger, but he had apparently been wrong. I don't think the system will let me die, but I really could do without the electric shock.
I hope it won't have to strike me with lightning next time.
Mag looked down, feeling the change of his body, clenching his fists. He wasn't weak anymore; he felt as strong as he had been in his previous life.
Maybe because of the electric shock, he looked slightly thinner than before.
"Maybe the average adult man in this world is stronger. I feel as strong as when I was working out," Mag thought aloud. Then he saw Mobai's forge. He hesitated for a while, and walked towards it.

In Chaos City on the Norland Continent, there is a strange restaurant.

Here, elves and dwarves share tables. Beastmen are prohibited from making a din, and giant dragons can only seat around the tiny square in front of the restaurant. Even demons have to bring their own stools…

But it is such a strange restaurant that has long lines outside every day.

Elves are stuffing kebabs, paying no mind to their manners; giant dragons are sitting around a hot pot, strainers in their hands; demons are eating nice-looking dango…

"There's no other place on this continent where you can find food like that! The boss here is a genius!" a customer provides such a review. Then, he gives a furtive look at the door. "Also, don't you think of kidnapping the boss away or dine-and-dashing, or you will suffer a tragic death."

"Eat, pay, or you will be beaten to death." says a cute little girl in her childish voice as she trots forward. A five-meter tall dragon shivers when it meets her eyes.
