Chapter 3

"Life is something to behold."

He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it.

There were several secretaries and attendants in the car, but I didn't care.

"I've been through all this."

Ice.

The more I think about it, the better it seems.

The more I think about it, the more excited I get.

The reason I lived like a game addict in the first place was to obtain pleasure and dopamine that I couldn't enjoy in reality, but I ended up completely absorbed in the game and even became a member of the owner's family who can live without worrying about money.

'I played through to the end, so I have some knowledge.'

What do you mean, Gomuyeol is a fucking idiot and has thrown his perception into the abyss? Let's think of it as a penalty.

'Let's see... Korea Entertainment? If it's an entertainment agency, shouldn't it be responsible for discovering actors or producing idols or something like that?'

Honestly, I'm not really interested in this so I don't know what to do.

If I had to think of something… I would bring in pretty and cool idols or aspiring celebrities and have them eat them, or I would buy current popular kids and have them eat them, or something like that… .

Anyway, all I can think of is superficial thoughts.

'... No. It doesn't have to be like that. It's mine now, so who would say anything if I suddenly change it to an investment company?'

I don't know all the settings like some complete idiot, but I've seen the ending, so I know all the major events and important stuff.

If you convert to an investment company and invest aggressively using your capital, you can be confident that you will be worth over 1 trillion won within a year, and even if that doesn't happen, if you commercialize the RK-99 that turns the world upside down in the story, you can collect all the money.

The question is, what do I want to do in this world?

I think I need to think about that a bit.

'Should we just play around for a while?'

+++

Around Geumsu-san Palace of the Sun is the largest skyscraper area in the northern peninsula.

There are countless huge buildings that are ridiculously tall, hundreds of meters high, and countless AVs (Aero Vehicles) are flying around them.

The Koryo Hotel is also here.

Swish.

As soon as the car stopped, men in black suits ran over and opened the door.

"Welcome, my lord."

As I took a step out, there were already employees gathered around me.

They bowed deeply until I was completely through, and only then did they raise their bows after I had passed through the glass door.

It was an unfamiliar treatment to me, so I perked up my ears and got excited, but I held it in as much as I could.

It's weird if a loser gets excited about something like this.

"Chief Han."

"Yes, your highness."

"What do you know about Korea Entertainment?"

I was given a brief briefing on my way to my room.

Director Han didn't seem to know much either.

"It's a company established last July. There's only one actor under our management. A male actor named Han Seong-gi."

"What, an actor? Send him out."

"yes?"

"Send me out."

"Ah. Yes. Okay."

I am not an actress and I have no intention of raising an actor.

Only actresses.

Only female idols.

This is 'common sense' and 'justice'.

Ding.

As we reached the top floor, the elevator doors opened.

A secretary came up to me and swiped my card.

Beep.

As the door to the Royal Suite opened, Manager Han suddenly came out in front of me and bowed his head.

"I apologize, Young Master. There is a personnel transfer at the moment, so it will be difficult to serve you in the future."

"What? What are you talking about?"

"An order just came down from headquarters."

"… ."

It seems like the chairman, who is greatly disappointed in Go Moo-yeol, is trying to get rid of him properly.

If it's to the point where even the secretarial staff has to be recalled… .

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"I will appoint a new secretary by tomorrow morning."

Fortunately, it looks like they aren't going to throw it away completely.

"Okay. I'll take care of it."

"yes."

I guess they're planning to take the capable kids to headquarters and send the newbies or troublemakers to me as a way to deal with the problems.

That's really disappointing.

When Director Han and his secretaries left, I was finally alone.

After I threw myself onto the wide bed, it was only then that I felt time passing properly.

Before that, what should I say… it didn't feel real.

Do you know it in your head but can't really feel it?

'How did you get possessed…? There's no point in thinking about that, right?'

It's pointless to think about leaving my abilities behind.

Because nothing changes.

Thinking like that, I picked up the phone and called Manager Han, who had just left.

He picked up the phone as soon as it rang.

- Yes, Your Majesty. Do you have anything to say?

"I'm talking about Goryeo Entertainment funds. Can I use them however I want?"

- … If the law is strictly applied, you may be caught for breach of trust or embezzlement. However, there is no way that you will be in trouble with the law in the Republic of Korea.

"Really? Then prepare it so I can write it."

- Yes, I will link it right away.

"Oh, and about that, Secretary, don't just send Director Han up, send only the representative candidates. I'll choose."

- Are you talking directly?

"Yeah. You'll know if it's good or not when you see it for yourself."

- Yes, I understand.

I ended the call and went to the window.

As I was on the top floor of the Koryo Hotel, which has over 100 floors, the night view of Pyongyang was very beautiful.

It is a splendid, splendid landscape that seems as if it will prosper forever.

"Fuck, it's all mine."

All I have right now is a management company without a single celebrity and about 100 billion won.

I already had this Pyongyang, the Republic of Korea, and the world in my heart.

I felt lovable towards the game developers I had cursed at with so much hate.

"Oh, since it's a game, there's probably a stats window or something like that?"

Then I remembered something I had forgotten because it was so realistic.

The UI and stats window that make the game a game.

As Makai Incheon 2077 is a game, it also has stats and items.

"Oh… . Ohh… !"

As expected, there was a stats window.

however….

"How has this kid lived until now?"

The stats are really miserable.

Even for an average person, their professional stats should be around 70-80 to be barely usable, but this guy only has 69 in leadership and the rest are at rock bottom.

Even the leadership is a conglomerate buff.

"Wow… Most of the characters in the story that will start next year will have main stats above 90, but this is worse than a middle school student."

And that's not all.

The various debuffs attached to each trait like sausages also gave me a headache.

Even if you have weak will, what about smoking addiction, drug addiction, and sex addiction?

Why? I also have alcoholism. Why did you remove this?

"… Let's think about it starting tomorrow."

The feeling of dizziness that comes as soon as you look at the stats window.

I just threw myself on the bed.

+++

The next day.

I woke up rubbing my swollen eyes, my head hurting like it was going to split open.

I couldn't come to my senses, but I think it was withdrawal symptoms.

Smoking addiction, drug addiction, sex addiction.

It's truly mind-blowing.

Among them, drugs… .

'I don't know about anything else, but I'm definitely getting rid of this.'

Even with that determination, I looked for medicine.

The withdrawal symptoms were beyond the level of human willpower.

I climbed back to my memory by simply shouting the rubber chews about ten times.

There's no way this pharmacist would keep his medicine far away. Maybe he put it in his clothes or purse or something?

"Ugh… . Ugh… ."

The walk to the closet is long.

I stumbled and almost fell to the floor several times because I couldn't take these few steps.

When I got to the closet, I clung to it like an octopus and took out the clothes with trembling hands.

Luckily, there was medicine in my coat pocket.

"Haa… Haa… This idiot… Really,"

I put the medicine into the syringe as I remembered, roughly found a blood vessel and injected it.

A fairly large needle is stuck through my flesh, but I don't care about the pain.

Only the great pleasure that is to come-,

"Kkwh ...

A momentary, overwhelming sense of ecstasy.

I looked down on the whole world as if I were a god.

With the wisdom of realizing all things in the universe and all things in the universe, I realized the principle and my thoughts reached a wonderful conclusion.

'So… . Medicine… .'

I melted.

.

.

After the drug wore off, my body finally calmed down.

My head, which had been hurting like crazy, is now better.

"Haa… . Haa… ."

A feeling of ecstasy I've never felt before.

I knew intuitively.

The moment you do this again, you're headed straight for hell.

Never do that again.

Drug addiction must be cured even if it means tearing out the brain.

'You should live happily ever after. What's the harm of living like a idiot and dying early?'

The good news is that if you get hit once, you can still be fine for a day.

We have to find a way to do something today.

That was when.

The bell rang.

When I went to the intercom, I saw that there were people who seemed to have been brought in as Director Han and candidates for secretary.

- This is Manager Han. Your Majesty. I have brought a candidate.

"Come in."

I put on some outerwear and brushed my hair back.

Now I see that my whole body is drenched in sweat.

Is it because of withdrawal symptoms? Or is it because of the medication?

Anyway, it doesn't look good.

But, I guess it doesn't matter since I don't need to look good to the secretary.

As I was drinking water and going to the sofa to relax, Director Han and the candidates for secretary came in.

Four of them are guys and the other one is the girl whose butt I touched yesterday.

I didn't know, but when I saw her from the front, her face was quite pretty.

'At first glance, it seems like none of them have the time… Are they just going to throw it together and call it a day?'

It's possible that Director Han ignored me, but it's also quite possible that it was the head office's influence.

In the first place, it was the headquarters' orders to disband my secretarial team and transfer Director Han.

"Let me introduce myself. You first."

"Oh, yes, my lord. I-,"

The man I pointed out started introducing himself.

He didn't seem very enthusiastic.

I opened the information about the only woman and listened to it vaguely.

I think younger women are better than men-,
