Chapter 288 – {IF Side Story: Change in Relationships}
{IF Side Story: Change in Relationships}
Officially known as the successor to the Seomun family, I continued my external activities.
“I can’t believe you cleared the dungeon so quickly already!”
“This is truly amazing skill.”
The world was immediately amazed by the power I showed to the outside world.
It was only natural that a 13-year-old was shown going overseas and dealing with numerous monsters.
The world looked at me differently simply because I was known to have skills that far surpassed those of active heroes.
My name was already being mentioned as a candidate for the next generation’s strongest hero.
But I showed only a small part of my power.
‘My strength is already the strongest now, not later.’
My power had already reached the strongest position in the world.
However, I have not yet made it known that I have the power to take on the entire world on my own, and I have only shown a level of power that far surpasses that of active heroes, which is surprising for a 13-year-old boy.
That alone sent the world into chaos.
Moreover, this was not all the power I had.
〈Yuchun Group, market capitalization exceeds 2,000 trillion won! 〉
〈Outstanding efficiency of the Yucheon Group converter! The amount of energy obtained from magic stones increases by 235%!〉
〈 Riverin Kingdom proposes investment to Yucheon Group! 〉
〈Outstanding efficiency of Yucheon Group equipment! Favorable reviews are already pouring in! 〉
The Yucheon Group, which Beelzebub established under my instructions and with the help of other subordinates such as Mamon and Leviathan, was another strength I possessed.
The market capitalization was still over 2,000 trillion won, but if time continued like this, it would easily surpass 3,000 trillion won.
‘We’re even stepping into the energy industry.’
This wasn’t just a passing example, it was at the peak of the energy industry, and although it was only a short period of time, it was quickly standing at the forefront of the energy industry.
In a past life on Earth, a Saudi Arabian petrochemical and oil refining company briefly ranked first in the world in market capitalization, with a market capitalization of well over 2,700 trillion won.
In addition, there was a demand for magic awakeners who were more important than those on Earth.
In this world full of magical power awakeners, the profits from selling more advanced equipment and potions to magic power awakeners could not be ignored.
In this world where the threat of monsters is always present, magical awakeners risking their lives to fight need better equipment, and Yucheon Group sells equipment on a large scale that is cheaper but has better performance than other places. There was.
Since the unit cost of producing high-performance equipment was almost zero, Yucheon Group was able to easily make a profit even after taking into account various taxes.
In this world, the effectiveness of the military has fallen due to the awakened magic power.
There was a problem with monsters that if the attack did not use magical power, the damage received was halved, so it was difficult to deal with large-sized monsters, even if they were small-sized monsters.
Even if the military was not completely useless, it was in the form of assistance to those with awakened magic.
“The security is bad.”
During my career, I didn’t just hunt monsters.
Thanks to those who awakened magical power, humanity gained the power to fight monsters. The ability to maintain peace despite the threat of monsters was largely due to the presence of those with awakened magic.
However, among those with awakened magical power, those with evil intentions became so-called villains and posed a threat beyond monsters to civilians.
Right now, this world, like the Republic of Korea in my previous life, was not a place where even children could run around and play without any worries.
‘It would have been dangerous if I had been kicked out of the Seomun family right now.’
Even places like orphanages were not safe. Among places such as orphanages, there were many places that were connected to villains, and there were many cases where these places sold children to villains to be used as test subjects.
Right now, human trafficking and human auctions were still common around the world.
‘It’s impossible to exterminate all the villains now.’
Villains are involved in human trafficking, and in particular, Kang Mi-hyeon, the true heroine of the original work, had a specialty in human trafficking. Although she is only 18 years old, she is already active as a villain and now mainly uses her appearance to commit crimes.
And as she becomes the leader of the bandits, a notorious villain group, she will commit all kinds of evil deeds.
However, even if we try to exterminate the villains on a large scale now, the world’s three major villain organizations, ‘Aeternum Somnium’, ‘Reverse Heaven’, and ‘The End’, are all minions of Terenity, the eternal dragon who is trying to invade this world.
Although they are known in the world as the three major villain organizations that oppose each other, in reality, they are one gang.
In any case, in this chaotic world, it made a lot of money for Yuchun Group to support those who have awakened magical power. There are potions that repair broken equipment and quickly heal wounds, but there are also potions to prepare for villains as well as monsters, such as potions that temporarily increase resistance to mental abilities and potions that have an antidote effect to all kinds of poisons. Governments in each country continued to purchase it.
In particular, there were many customers who purchased potions that permanently increased resistance, even if they were sold at a high price.
Thanks to this, Yuchun Group’s growth would soon lead to its market capitalization exceeding 3,000 trillion won. But even more than that, there was a problem that faced me.
“You who have awakened magic, but are still young, will find it difficult to control your power. However, you must never forget to be careful and not use that power carelessly.”
Even before entering the academy, I had to participate in classes consistently.
Although he did not attend a school for ordinary children, there was compulsory education to teach self-control to children with awakened magical powers.
‘It’s so boring.’
It was the same in that the more powerful people were, the more they had to be taught self-control through mandatory education. But as I listened to it, it was true that it was annoying and boring.
But it was also worth coming here.
‘There are cases, like Ye Eun-chae and Yoo Hyeon-ah, that receive education through a private tutor.’
In the case of Ye Eun-chae, because of her beauty, which stood out from the Ye family, she stayed only in the Ye family’s mansion to be used as an object of arranged marriage, and had no experience hanging out with children of her own age.
Rather than sending Ye Eun-chae to a place like this for classes, the Ye family resolved to invite her teacher to provide her with compulsory education. It was possible to solve the problem by paying a little more money, and in fact, the Seomun family was also able to solve compulsory education in this way.
But there was another reason why I came here to receive compulsory education.
“Oppa Cheon~”
After class, a young girl with beige hair came running towards me, smiling brightly. I smiled softly at her.
“Sena.”
The name of the girl who approached me was Isena. In the original work, she was one of the heroines who was Seo Moon-hyeon’s childhood friend.
There were quite a few readers who thought that Isena was a crony, as her character was a good and devoted childhood friend and her breasts were the largest among the heroines along with Ye Eun-chae.
Of course, the ending was Kang Mi-hyun, the villain of Naeronambul.
‘Sena alone is worth the effort.’
Even though compulsory education is a hassle, I have become closer to Isena here. Isena’s beauty is such that even though she is only 12 years old, her potential is already visible.
Knowing that when she grows up she will be one of the most beautiful women in the world, I did the work in advance.
Her relationship with her became very close after her parents protected her from being teased by her other children due to her absence.
She called me oppa and followed me, and the favor shown to Seo Moon-hyeon in the original was already directed towards me.
“Oppa~ Sena unnie~”
And as Isena approached me, Seomun Minhye, who had also finished her class, smiled brightly and approached where we were.
The relationship between Seo Moon Min-hye and Lee Se-na was very close. Sena Lee found her Seomun Min-hye very cute, and Seomun Min-hye also liked Se-na Lee very much for her kind personality.
“Then Sena, would you like to come to my house with me today?”
“Won’t it be a nuisance?”
“No way. There’s no reason for you to come.”
“Yes! Hehe~”
Isena smiled happily at my words. Already, her breasts were beginning to develop, as if to indicate that her body would soon become pure and glamorous.
‘I hope time passes quickly.’
As I watched Seo Moon Min-hye and Lee Se-na, I was planning and looking forward to them growing up quickly and becoming my wives.
* * *
A year has passed since I became the successor to the Seomun family.
In the meantime, Yuchun Group grew in size further and eventually grew into the world’s largest global conglomerate with a market capitalization of 3,000 trillion won, reaching a point where there was no hero among them who did not use products made by Yuchun Group.
However, I have not yet revealed to the world that I am the true owner of Yuchun Group. This was because it was advantageous not to reveal it yet.
‘Even if I reveal it, it will only be bothersome because I am young now and there are many restrictions on my ability to use it properly.’
And the changes in Seo Mun-hyeon within the mansion were also noteworthy.
