Dimensional Sovereign

Chapter 46: Becoming a Building Owner in Gangnam (1)

A dark cloud swirled in the sky after Jung Kwang-hyeon collapsed.

Woorururu!

In addition, there were loud rumbling thunder sounds! Kang-jun had never heard such loud cracks of thunder.

Kwa kwa kwang!Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

What was going on? Was the sky falling down?

It was like the end of the world.

Then the thunder disappeared.

The surrounding scenery completely changed. The sky was full of beautiful clouds and the ground was a wilderness.

On top of that, the collapsed figure of Jung Kwang-hyeon was in front of Kang-jun.

Where was this place?

Susu!Susususu!

At that time, black shadows reminiscent of hell reapers appeared before Kang-jun and Jung Kwang-hyeon.

They bowed politely towards Kang-jun. Then they shouted in unison.

“The winner will have everything!”

“The loser will give everything to the winner!”

"All the possessions that belong to Sovereign Herod will be given to Sovereign Lucan!”

Voices like thunder!

Then a message appeared.

[You have obtained the sovereign token, the Wyvern Ring.]

[Wyvern Ring]

-Rating: Only one

-A sign that you are a sovereign in Hwanmong.

-Strength +5 when worn.

-Immune to fear and confusion when worn.

-Sovereign Title: Herod

It increased strength by five points and gave the wearer immunity to fear and confusion!

Kang-jun naturally wore it on his right hand.

His left hand had the Demonic Dragon’s Ring! His right hand had the Wyvern Ring!

Kang-jun was stunned for a moment before asking the shadows.

"Who are you?"

One of the shadows bowed again and answered politely.

“Sovereign Lucan! You will naturally discover who we are if you are defeated. We despise the losers and are in awe of the winners.”

He continued.

"Today we appeared in celebration of your first victory. If you win after this, we won’t show up. All the possessions of the loser will naturally belong to you.”

The shadow kept talking.

"But if you lose, you will see us again. I hope that such an unfortunate thing won’t happen.”

In the meantime, two shadows had grabbed Jung Kwang-hyeon’s arms. All the shadows bowed to Kang-jun once again and spoke softly.

"Then we will go.”

"We wish you luck.”

They started to drag Jung Kwang-hyeon away.

“Where are you taking him?”

One of the shadows stopped after hearing Kang-jun’s question. He turned his head and replied.

"There is only one place for a defeated sovereign to go.”

“Where is that?”

"The winner doesn’t need to know.”

The shadow turned back and walked away.

’Perhaps it is hell?’

Kang-jun suddenly recalled Keirun’s words.

‘It is a little different from the commonly known hell. Rather than for sin, it is a place to go after losing the war.

‘After being defeated, you will have to spend unimaginably long years in agony.’

The loser went to prison!

There was no doubt that Jung Kwang-hyeon was being dragged there.

"Oooh! W-who are you? Where are you taking me?”

It was Jung Kwang-hyeon’s voice. He woke up.

He soon heard creepy voices.

"Kukuku! A place filled with other losers like you!”

“Kakakakat! You just have to go there.”

The shadows trampled on Jung Kwang-hyeon.

Bam bam!Bam bam bam!

“Ack! Kuaaaak! Ack! H-help me...”

Horrifying screams. Jung Kwang-hyeon shrieked as he was surrounded by shadows. The scenery in front of Kang-jun faded away.

"Heok!"

Kang-jun opened his eyes with a surprised expression.

’This place?’

It was his bed in Room 307 of the Eco Studio Apartments.

‘What? I am already awake?’

He checked his watch and saw that it was 6:30 a.m. It was a similar wake up time.

While meeting the strange shadows, time had passed in Hwanmong.

The scene of Jung Kwang-hyeon being dragged by the shadows lingered. His screams as he was dragged to hell was clear.

’Shit!’

Even though he was a bad guy in reality, he seemed somewhat pitiful. But now wasn’t the time to sympathize with him.

Kang-jun didn’t know when he would be in such a disastrous situation.

He had won. However, he couldn’t settle for this victory and needed to prepare for a larger war.

And he needed to unconditionally win. He had seen with his own eyes the result of defeat.

At that time, Hayun looked down at Kang-jun and grinned.

"You woke up.”

She was sitting on a chair in front of the bed with a towel in her hand.

"What is that towel?"

"What? I was wiping the sweat from your face. Did it wake you up?”

“No. Anyway, you worked hard all night. Go and rest. Ah, that’s right. Can you please make me some ramyun?”

It wasn’t hard for Hayun. She made ramyun surprisingly well, so he felt like eating.

Hayun wasn’t bothered by doing such things for him, especially if they were going to eat together.

"Then I should eat some ramyun as well. Should I boil a few? Do you want eggs as well?”

"I will have one but boil more if you want. Chop some chillies today and don’t put any eggs in. There is a big chili in the fridge.”

"Yes, come to the kitchen in 10 minutes.”

Hayun hummed as she went to the fridge and pulled our chili, kimchi, etc.

In the Eco Studio Apartments, the eggs and ramyun were kept in the shared kitchen. It was well stocked with a coffee machine, toaster, cooker, water purifier and other amenities.

Was that all? Each room had a small but private refrigerator.

‘Huhu, as expected from an expensive place. I will eagerly earn money today’

The studio room was expensive compared to the goshiwon.

Until this moment, Kang-jun hadn’t imagined a higher quality of life.

He was told that all of Herod’s possessions would go to him, but he thought it was only in the world of Hwanmong. He never imagined that property in reality would be handed over.

Although it would take time, collecting money to buy a building wasn’t very hard. He was determined to receive the monthly rent in reality as well as taxes in Hwanmong.

At that time, his smartphone rang.

Chiing!

Kang-jun exited the bathroom at the sound and was confused.

"Who is it? It is early in the morning.”

He didn’t know the phone number of the caller. He would block it if it was spam.

"Hello."

-It is Jung Kwang-hyeon. Where you are right now?

“......!”

Who? Jung Kwang-hyeon? Kang-jun was startled.

He was very curious about Jung Kwang-hyeon. He heard that a defeat in Hwanmong meant death in reality.

The supposedly dead Jung Kwang-hyeon was talking normally.

‘He isn’t dead?’

Or was this a prank by someone? However, the voice heard from the smartphone was clearly Jung Kwang-hyeon’s.

Let’s say he wasn’t dead. Why was he calling?

Wasn’t the game finished?

Kang-jun asked stiffly.

"What do you want?”

-Haha, the reason is natural. I have to give all my possessions to you after being defeated in Hwanmong. The lawyer will take care of the gift tax and other legal elements, so you don’t have to worry.

“......!”

What was he saying?

Giving Kang-jun all his property!

There was something strange about Jung Kwang-hyeon’s voice.

He was very polite. Jung Kwang-hyeon normally spoke with a unique, arrogant tone.

That’s right. He was a completely different person.

-Then please come to the 5th floor of the Yugang building. I look forward to seeing you. Anyway, it will end up being your home.

Jung Kwang-hyeon hung up.

Kang-jun sat idly for a moment.

‘Hand over his property?’

Was that really true?

‘All the possessions that belong to Sovereign Herod will be given to Sovereign Lucan!’

The words that the shadow people shouted!

It meant the possessions in both worlds. It was obvious they were referring to reality and Hwanmong.

The 5th floor of the Yugang building.

Kang-jun headed there after eating the ramyun.

Ding dong.

The door opened as soon as the doorbell rang.

“Welcome. I’ve been waiting for you.”

Jung Kwang-hyeon smiled and welcomed Kang-jun in a clean suit.

“What? What are you? Are you really Jung Kwang-hyeon?”

Kang-jun stared at Jung Kwang-hyeon. Jung Kwang-hyeon shrugged and replied.

"Of course not. As you know, Jung Kwang-hyeon had gone to the place where all those defeated are located.”

Unbelievable! He wasn’t the real Jung Kwang-hyeon.

"Then you are?"

"I am taking this appearance in order to deal with some complex matters in the real world.”

“One of the shadows?”

“A shadow. Well! I don’t know what you mean. For reference, I don’t know anything about myself either. I just do as I’m instructed.”

Jung Kwang-hyeon continued talking with a smile.

"Hahaha, it is natural to be confused the first time. But it isn’t complicated. You have won and will be given the spoils.”

He guided Kang-jun to the living room. A woman in her 20s wearing glasses was sitting on the couch in the living room.

Tidy hair. A black dress. A perfect face. But there was something mysterious in her eyes.

Kang-jun felt an unknown thrill when he saw her. Was it the beauty too perfect to be human?

That wasn’t it.

He instinctively felt something. He never felt it when he saw Hayun.

What was her identity?

Jung Kwang-hyeon introduced her.

"This is Han Yeon-soo, a lawyer from the Black Dragon Law Firm. She will handle all the legal issues.”

Han Yeon-soo got up and extended her hand.

“It is nice to meet you, Lee Kang-jun.”

"Nice to meet you."

Kang-jun shook her hand with an uneasy look. A strange energy could be felt from her hand.

Han Yeon-soo smiled a little at Kang-jun’s expression.

"Don’t be nervous. I am a neutral existence. The same is true for the Black Dragon Law Firm.”

“A neutral existence?”

"You will find out eventually, so I’ll tell you now. You might have guessed it already, but I am not a human. However, you don’t need to be wary. The purpose of the Black Dragon Law Firm is to support sovereigns who win. In particular, we ensure that the loser’s assets are passed to the winner without any fuss.”

“......?”

Kang-jun didn’t know what to say and just sipped his cup of coffee.

"For example, there can be tax problems. According to the laws of South Korea, 50% of your property needs to be paid as gift tax. If so, that would violate the rule of Hwanmong that the winner receives everything.”

Kang-jun nodded.

"So that means you will take care of it. I understand. Then what am I supposed to do?”

"There is nothing you can do. Just appoint me as your legal representative and I will handle it.”

"So what is the fee?”

"We don’t receive any fees from you. No, we would actually spend money to support you. Once again, the purpose of the Black Dragon Law Firm isn’t to make money but to support the victorious sovereigns.”

“I understand.”

It was confusing. However, Kang-jun had a lot of work to do in Hwanmong so the current situation was enough.

Rather, the existence of Han Yeon-soo and the Black Dragon Law Firm gave it a realistic feeling.

The winner would receive the loser’s properties without any legal problems, so Kang-jun could just sit back and eat good food.

Han Yeon-soo briefly gave an overview of Jung Kwang-hyeon’s assets.

Yugang building.

Dafeng building.

There was a 200 million won foreign car.

230 million in his bank account.

His other stocks and bonds were worth 300 million.

Excluding the tenant deposits, the Yugang building had a two billion won bank loan while the Dafeng building had one billion in bank loans.

Inheriting everything also meant receiving the loans.

But even with the tenant deposits and debts subtracted, he had a tremendous wealth of over seven billion!

He wouldn’t have cared if it had been cut in half due to the gift tax, but he was still glad it didn’t happen.

"All procedures will be finished by tomorrow. If you have any questions then please contact me.”

Han Yeon-soo handed him a business card.

Only Kang-jun and Jung Kwang-hyeon remained. Jung Kwang-hyeon told Kang-jun the password to the safe that contained various valuables.

“Sovereign Lucan! Starting today, this is your house. The same is true for the Dafeng building. Then I will be going.”

Jung Kwang-hyeon left the place.

Kang-jun was alone.

‘So this will be my home from now on?’

That wasn’t all. Kang-jun was the owner of the Yugang and Dafeng buildings.

A Gangnam building owner!

He was now the owner of two buildings.
