Chapter 237 – Preparing for the Feast
A few days have passed since school started. Students who were released during the vacation were again buried in studies and assignments.
While smoking, Lee Seok-chan suddenly said.
“Jjuhwan, aren’t you studying?”
“I have a separate job, don’t I? You can only do it during lecture time and exam period. Are you really not studying?”
“I also have a separate job.”
“What’s your main job?”
“What, stocks or business?”
“Aside from stocks, do you also run a business?”
Lee Seok-chan shrugged his shoulders and replied as if it was nothing.
“It’s not my business, I’m helping my brothers and my father. Other relatives help from time to time. It should be called advice rather than business.”
“Is that what it is?”
“Honey, this is very nice. If you say a few words and receive pocket money, that’s your salary.”
“Nice. It seems that chaebol families have different levels of pocket money.”
“Luckily, the golden spoon bites well.Haha.”
Lee Seok-chan smiled unluckily. But even though he said that, he was the kind of guy who did it when he did it, so I didn’t feel jealous or envious.
There was only one enviable thing.
‘I’m so envious of your S rank intuition talent.’
Lee Seok-chan, who has the latent S-rank ‘intuition’ talent, sometimes makes outrageous things or makes absurd decisions. And in most cases, over time, the results proved that decision was correct.
However, in order to use any ability properly, there must be a foundation. One day, I went to Lee Seok-chan’s room to play and was surprised. He even wore glasses that didn’t suit him, and he was reading materials in English. Perhaps it is the stocks I mentioned earlier or the data related to the business of my relatives.
‘It’s just a talent that doesn’t have a talent, but if you have data…….’
He seemed to know why Lee Seok-chan’s relatives were asking him for advice. Since you’ve seen him up close, you should have a rough idea of Lee Seok-chan’s abilities of his. He was ready to seek him out if he was troubled or stuck.
“Hey, Joo-hwan.”
“Why?”
“Do you want to do business together later?”
“Suddenly?”
Seo Ju-hwan narrowed his eyes at the sudden remark.
Meanwhile, Lee Seok-chan smiled and said in a playful tone.
“I don’t mean to do it right away, so think about it. I just think it will work out with you.”
“Honey, what are you thinking without telling me what business it is?”
“Anyway, whatever.”
“Her. The one who hits the goal.”
“You should suck on the sweet water side of the wool jjuhwani.”
“I have to wash the sweet water from you. Bastard of the conglomerate family.”
“Will you please?”
“Ugh. Go away!”
Haha! Well, you are still having a hard time.”
Lee Seok-chan bursts into laughter.
Seo Joo-hwan frowned and waved his hand. But on the inside he was very surprised.
‘This bastard seems half serious.’
I’m not one to joke about business with my friends. I’m going to let it go now, but I thought the day would come when I would seriously talk about it.
‘Ah, that S rank intuition hits the target.’
Currently, he had no merit to be with Lee Seok-chan in terms of business. Of course, he earns a lot of money by writing, but how can a conglomerate become prominent? In the end, it means that there is a high possibility that he felt something else with the intuition of the latent grade S rank.
‘For now, enjoy college life a bit.’
In the distant future, I don’t know.
He honestly had the thought that anything would work out if he thought about the desire system.

Seo Joo-hwan ran the item draw twice.
[The item ‘Sweet Candy (x5)’ will be provided.]
[The item, ‘Jooji Custom’ will be provided.]
“Ah, today is also bad.”
Seo Ju-hwan clicked his tongue with a disappointed face. ‘Sweet Candy’ was now overflowing in bag units, and ‘Jyuji Custom’ was a useless item to him as it was already long and thick enough.
‘What’s the point of increasing it since it’s a big problem for Sua?’
At least it would have been possible to customize even shortening it like the item name, but since it wasn’t that, it was meaningless. He roughly threw the item into his inventory and sighed.
“When will the blessing come? ….”
Currently, the item Seo Joo-hwan wants to pick up is none other than the ‘blessing of the dream demon’.
‘I’ll only draw skills when I get a blessing.’
Lucy, who came back for a while when I went on a trip during vacation, said. If possible, pull this skill with the ‘Blessing of the Dream Demon God’. It seemed that he was thinking of writing something else.
“A shop window.”
Seo Joo-hwan called out the shop window. It was an added feature at level 4.
[Item registration shop]
1. Safe and cheap 2 – 1,000LP
2. Hair ~ hair nutrients – 5,000LP
3. Blessed Pheromone Bath – 3,000LP
4. Sweet Sleepover – 1,000LP
5. Slippery Love Gel – 3,000LP
6. Pheromone Gas – 10,000LP
7. Instant Enema – 1,000LP
8. Sweet Candy – 100LP
9. Pheromone Boost – 50,000LP
10. Blessed Stamina – 3,000LP
An item registration store is literally a store where you can register your items. Items registered once could now be purchased with a certainty at any time.
“Eww. Expensive.”
There is a cost to registering an item and a cost to purchase it. Also, judging from the message ‘This item can be registered’ that pops up when registering, it seems that not all items can be registered.
“Buy 10 pieces with peace of mind.”
[10,000LP has been consumed.]
[The item, ‘Peaceful and Dirty 2’ will be provided.]
It is a very expensive amount considering that 3 to 5 were usually given out when randomly drawn.
‘Still, considering the convenience, it’s worth paying.’
The mere fact that you can draw it as a confirmation when you want was enough to make it worth using. How frustrating it must have been when I sometimes had to put on a condom because there was no ‘Safe and Vaginal 2’.
‘Should I convert now?’
As the system level rises, the special ability conversion added along with the shop window. Using this function, you can convert the special ability of a talent that has already been decided by paying LP.
However, Seo Ju-hwan shook his head.
“If this is a blessing, we should return it together.”
There is a significant cost to pay to use the feature without thinking. The cost of converting the special ability was a whopping 100,000LP.
Instead, Seo Joo-hwan opened the blessing window and used the ‘Blessing of Concentration’.
[Consumes 1,800LP to use ‘Blessing of Concentration’ for 3 hours.]
Two weeks have passed since the life of the regressor ended in the barracks.
Seo Ju-hwan sat down in front of the computer to write a new work.
‘This time, let’s use it with a gruesome and bloody one.’
I had something in mind for the material.
‘Humans, devils, angels.’
In fact, I have already set up a rough setting to the extent that I have already decided on a working title.
〈 Working title: Demon Eater 〉
A modern fusion fantasy featuring angels and demons.
It’s a genre that has already gone out of fashion a few years ago. It was an unattractive genre for web novelists who had to follow trends to make money. So, it was also a material that was discarded after holding only the setting before returning.
‘But it’s different now.’
What could be more minor than the military drama ‘The Barracks Life of a Returner’? To him, who was able to afford materially, the major and minor genres no longer had any meaning.
Seo Ju-hwan started writing again after a long time.
– Those who have received the power of angels are named ‘Awakeners’.
– Those who have eaten the devil’s heart and forcibly awakened are called ‘predators’.
– Predators who can not handle the power of the devil and lose their reason are named ‘fallers’.
– The space where the devil waits until materialized and the space where he fights with the Awakener is named ‘boundary’.
“The main character is a predator. Betrayed by the Awakeners and returned. As a non-awakened person, fighting demons and uncovering the angels’ schemes…….”
The pages that had been blank were gradually filled with black lines.

Seo Joo-hwan put his phone away and pressed the call button. As soon as the phone was connected, an angry voice was heard.
– Hey, give me the next episode! Is there a next part?!
As expected, it was a huge throat.
About 10 minutes after I sent it to Choi Mi-hwa, the editor in charge, I got a call back. In the case of such a quick response, the evaluation was generally good.
Seo Ju-hwan said with a relieved face.
“Are you okay?”
– Are you okay? Can’t you see my reaction? You want me to put out the next part right now? I wouldn’t have sent only the prologue to your personality, there will be a next one!
I listened roughly in one ear and asked a question.
“This time, it wasn’t a material that matched the trend. Do you think it will work?”
– Do you mean horses? Originally, trends come and go! It’s an old subject, but it’s a popular subject. If this work is popular, will there be another series of novels with angels and demons? Do you want me to put out the next part?
“Haha. I’ll send it now. I wrote up to episode 3. Look and tell me.”
– That’s right! It’s not like you’re being pushed, why cut it off and send it!
“Uh. My ears will fall off.”
Seo Ju-hwan hung up the phone and sent the file. Her type addict of her, she would read her soon and get back in touch.
Sure enough, the phone rang again in ten minutes.
-Joo Hwan-ah. No, author Seo. We write this It works, obviously.
“Uh huh. I didn’t say I signed a contract with you.”
– Hey, what’s wrong! You said you were coming to me! You stole my body and mind and left it?
“Did I steal PD Choi’s heart?”
– If you show me a novel like this, of course I’ll pass!
“Kuk-kuk. I understand, so tell me what you think.”
– Really? Are you making a contract with me? I’ll send you an electronic signature, so you sign right away?
Choi Mi-hwa told her impressions of her only after being assured several times.
– You said it’s not a trend, but from my point of view, this is enough. Even though angels and demons are clichéd, the development is trendy. Did you feel like a hunter or a raid?
“There is definitely a bitter feeling in that way. So I thought it could be more banal. There are so many of them.”
– It would have been if only the Awakened had come out. But there are predators and fallers. Looking at the angels, they don’t seem like nice guys. She especially liked the part about fighting on the border.
“How is the setup? Did you see the setting book sent? There are still a lot of weak points, so I’m going to get tested.”
– Of course I did. There’s definitely a bit of a clumsy side to it, so I thought it would be a good idea to skim through the books on Shinhwa. I know of a few books I can refer to, so I’ll send them to you.
“Oh, thank you. After all, there is only you, Mi-hwa.”
– Ugh. So please take good care of me in the future, Author Seo. Be with me for the rest of my life.
“I saw you doing it.”
– Hey!
Seo Ju-hwan giggled for a while before ending the call.
‘By the way, is this title any different?’
Demon predators are too sentimental in the days of rental stores.
I’ll have to think of a new title.

Mid-September.
Several weeks have passed since the opening of classes.
Alternative University students fell in love with assignments and regained their energy even in the midst of suffering. It was when the qualifying rounds for the athletic meet began.
However, the Department of Publication and Contents was still gloomy. Due to the nature of the department with an overwhelming majority of women, the Department of Publication and Contents barely managed to produce a single soccer team even if all first and second year male students were combined.
“Oh, I won’t.”
“Even if I go out anyway, the ball and the kids are right.”
Because of this, it was impossible to participate in the competition itself if a few people were left out.
“The department is fucking boring. How can a soccer team not come out?”
“I know. At least, if the girls play dodgeball, they’ll cheer for me.”
“You don’t do everything, do you? Tsk.”
Lee Seok-chan clicked his tongue. Perhaps the calmness of the students is also a characteristic of the department, but the Department of Publication and Contents has had nothing to do with sports competitions for generations. Except for a few women, most of them hated exercise.
But there were also fields where I had to participate.
Seo Joo-hwan went forward and attracted the attention of the students.
“Guys, let’s decide what to do at our festival.”
I didn’t know about the athletic meet, but the festival was compulsory participation.
