Into the Creations 2019

Chapter 2019 – 2019. Newtype

In modern times, a chaebol is no different from a noble. No, in some ways, they are much stronger than nobles. Even those in power bow their heads to the financial might they wield.

The reason I can act as I please, even while being called a degenerate, is because I am a chaebol.

With a lot of money, there’s a lot you can do. You could throw a drug and sex party right away, couldn’t you? You can easily get most of what you want.

But this power wasn’t mine.

To wield this power, I had to be mindful of others. If I had to pay the price of responsibility to wield this power… then it was no longer power to me. It was just something that bothered me. Nothing more, nothing less.

If this convenient power was going to become shackles and a leash, I was willing to cut it off. After all, this was a quest world. Being a chaebol was good. Not being a chaebol didn’t really matter. The quest condition wasn’t to become a chaebol.

I also had mind control abilities. When I needed money, I could just control another chaebol.

I opened the door and entered the dining room.

The eyes of the people sitting at the table turned to me.

At the head of the table sat the honorary chairman, my body’s grandfather.

Next to him were the others in order of rank. The current chairman, my body’s father, and his wife. Next to them sat the chairman’s siblings and their spouses. Then came the chairman’s direct siblings. And then the cousins.

An empty seat. That was my place. Even though I was the chairman’s son, I was the youngest, the third. There were only cousins below me. But those below me were sending me looks of contempt.

Even when I rummaged through my memories, it wasn’t like this originally. They had judged that I had been completely pushed out of the succession race due to recent events.

“Have you arrived? Why aren’t you greeting us? I told you firmly to greet your elders.”

The honorary chairman clicked his tongue.

I was surprised. Contrary to his voice and attitude, the honorary chairman showed no irritation or anger at all. Perhaps sensing that, the faces of the other family members hardened. Even the chairman, my body’s father.

“I was late because of traffic.”

“Is that so? That can happen. Come and sit down.”

I didn’t sit at the table but walked towards it. Just because the honorary chairman showed goodwill, so what? I had already decided to commit the deed.

Everyone’s eyes turned to me at my actions.

“Sung Yujin! What are you doing?!”

“…I think he’s acting a bit strange.”

“Isn’t he on drugs? He looks exactly like a drug addict.”

“He came to the main house while on drugs? Is he out of his mind?”

“Father. It seems your nephew has gone mad. Isn’t it because you’ve been too lenient with him? Even if you usually emphasize strength… this has crossed the line. You should punish him severely.”

Everyone chattered as if they had gotten an opportunity.

I looked at the guy at the front. His information popped up in my head.

My cousin, who was just entering middle school. The youngest son of my uncle. His name was Sung Yusaeng. Sung Yusaeng, who had made eye contact with me, flinched. But soon, he opened his mouth with an obnoxious smile.

“What are you looking at, you drug addict!”

He was a brat. Well, it was to be expected. I wasn’t the only one who had been spoiled as the youngest. Besides, the very nature of this family was bratty.

“You said you were going to be the chairman last time, right?”

“Yeah!”

“You’re my rival then.”

I grabbed Sung Yusaeng by the hair and slammed his head onto the table.

Thud!

Food flew up. Rice and soybean paste stew, broken pieces of dishes.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

I didn’t stop slamming Sung Yusaeng’s head onto the table. I controlled my strength so he wouldn’t die easily. But there was a limit to that. Soon, Sung Yusaeng’s head burst with blood and flesh, and brain matter flowed onto the table.

A suffocating silence descended in the dining room. Some were out of their minds, some rubbed their eyes as if they couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Some were terrified.

“Aaaaaaaah!”

A sharp scream came from my uncle’s wife. Sung Yusaeng’s mother.

“Yusaeng! My son! What are you doing, head of security! Kill that bastard!! Kill him!!”

I turned my head slightly and looked at the head of security. The head of security didn’t move. He was frozen stiff. He was sweating profusely and made eye contact with me. He seemed to be contemplating something, then he turned his head.

“Chairman. I’m resigning. That, dying like a dog is a bit much, even if… Young Master Yujin. I didn’t see anything.”

I was too annoyed to listen to his excuses, so I took out the Hwaryeon Flying Blades and swung them.

Thunder Heaven Style (雷天流) Thunder Flash (雷光).

A red trail cut across the head of security’s neck.

A strongman who was among the top 100 in Korea died without being able to do anything. This was the power of doping drugs.

“A servant dares to yap without the master’s permission. And you, you bitch. Who told you to scream so loudly?”

I raised my index finger and pointed at my aunt. A bolt of lightning shot out and hit the woman. The woman fell without even being able to scream, along with a pungent smell. She was dead.

“S-Stop! Yujin! Stop it!”

Another woman stepped forward.

The woman next to the chairman. My mother. I habitually looked her up and down. She got a bonus for being my biological mother. She seemed to have been quite popular when she was young… but I had no interest in a 50-year-old hag.

“Did my words about being quiet sound like dog shit to you?”

I swung the Hwaryeon Flying Blades. A blue sword aura flew and cut my mother’s upper body in half.

My mother? So what?

Fear descended.

I liked it.

Things went smoothly. I thought the guards would rush in, but there were no guards inside. The guards outside seemed to be completely unaware of what was happening inside. If I had known this, I wouldn’t have taken the drugs to the limit.

‘No, it was because I took the drugs to the limit that the head of security was scared. He realized how strong I was.’

I swung my sword.

Swoosh.

One of my cousins’ heads fell off.

“A-Aaaaaah!”

I was about to swing my sword at another cousin when my aunt got up and hugged my cousin. I sliced them both in half.

I killed the guy who was trying to run away when he saw an opportunity.

I killed the guy who was begging for his life.

“Y-Yujin. I’m your father. Did you want to be the chairman? I-I’ll make you the chairman. So please stop.”

The terrified chairman said. I killed my mother, so why would I spare my father?

The chairman’s position? It would be good to have it. The more money, the better. But it didn’t matter if I didn’t have it. If I had any lingering feelings, I wouldn’t have done this in the first place.

Swoosh!

I killed the chairman.

I didn’t think deeply about what would happen next. I’d probably become a fugitive. I knew that killing the entire chairman’s family wouldn’t make me the chairman. I planned to stay at Jung Sooyeon’s place for the time being.

There was one person left. The honorary chairman, the actual owner of Cheonil Group. I turned to kill him, then stopped.

The honorary chairman wasn’t trembling in fear. Even though his entire family was dead, he had a smile on his face. His eyes looking at me were filled with pride and admiration.

‘…Admiration?’

I looked at the honorary chairman.

“Why are you doing that? Didn’t you want to become the owner of Cheonil Group?”

“What’s your purpose?”

“Did you want me to beg for my life? I’m already eighty years old. I’ve lived enough.”

The honorary chairman was the first chairman who founded the group. A natural force awakener like me. Thanks to that, he looked like he was in his 50s. That was also why he held real power as the honorary chairman.

“If you kill me, you can become the chairman. I’ve already taken such measures.”

“Such measures? Did you see the future?”

“How long do you think this old man has been watching you? I knew this would happen someday. I knew that your ruler’s nature would come out!”

“I’m not the Sung Yujin you know.”

“What are you talking about? You are the Sung Yujin I know. My grandson that I know so well.”

I racked my brain.

I went through the information in my head. I went through the memories I had already scanned once. I recalled old memories. I had always been a brat and disregarded life. The difference between the current me and the old me… there wasn’t much of a difference. It was more of a difference in ability.

“What’s your purpose?”

“I want Cheonil Group to become the master of this Republic of Korea. You can do it.”

“Me? To be honest, I don’t have any talent for making money.”

The me in this world also didn’t have a head for studying. Even though I had a lot of money, I hated studying. My school grades had never been in the top 30.

“You have a talent for violence, don’t you? Money and power are slowly losing their strength. What’s emerging now is primal power. Violence. That power will rule the world. And you will become one of the rulers of the world.”

“I destroyed the family, is that important?”

“You like women. You can increase the family as much as you want, can’t you? As long as you’re alive, the Sung family is not ruined. The angel is already watching you.”

“……”

I stared at the honorary chairman. I didn’t sense any lies.

This old man was a madman. And there were two types of madmen in this world. Madmen who were helpful to me and madmen who were not. The honorary chairman was the former.

“The age of violence… Well, is the world going to be destroyed or something?”

“An angel has appeared. Do you know when the angel blows the trumpet?”

“……The end?”

“That’s not all. The trumpet is the beginning of war. You will become a hero of that war. Hehehe.”

Should I kill him? Or use him?

I was conflicted. There were advantages and disadvantages to each. The biggest advantage was using him. I could maintain my position as a third-generation chaebol.

Was this honorary chairman’s appearance an act? Wouldn’t he stab me in the back later? Would mind control work on him?

“You’re thinking, aren’t you? Do you want to use me?”

“Even if it’s the age of violence, money and power are important.”

“Hmm. There’s someone you don’t like. What will you do?”

“Kill them.”

“Even if it’s the president?”

“There’s no reason why I can’t kill them.”

“As expected! Good! Use me as much as you want! I’m just a useless old man waiting for the day I die anyway. Taking care of your messes is perfect for killing time.”

“You can clean this up?”

“A monster came and killed my family and disappeared. Who would argue if I said that?”

I lowered my sword. I scattered the surging murderous intent and laughed.

“Grandpa. The moment the money runs out is your death anniversary.”

“You’re even going to hold a memorial service for me? My grandson is even filial.”

I laughed in disbelief.

Come to think of it, I remembered that Cheonil Group was conducting human experiments behind the scenes. The old man in front of me was the one who started and oversaw the human experiments.
