The Novel’s Villain

“Arina is in charge of estate management. ”

Arina greets Jinwoo lightly.

He looked just like a man with horns and pale skin.

It was quite beautiful. The outfit was also exposed, but felt desirable. Normal exposure and defensive strength are proportional, so the defensive power will probably be great.

As Jinwoo stared quietly, Arina was flawed. I coughed and opened my mouth.

“It's awkward to be polite to people who are weaker than me. So I want you to understand. If you become stronger than me, then I'll behave myself. The owner doesn't have to respect me. ”

Jinwoo nods.

Arina looks strong. It was A rank and high level. It seemed to be about the same as Lee Min-woo.

I was a little dazed by the sudden situation.

I needed an explanation.

“Can you explain that to me? ”

“Calverto's legacy sleeps in this tower. Heritage is such a power, but since you ate all of it before it became a seal, you don't have any Doubloons. ”

“I'm poor for a greedy monarch. ”

“His disguise was a true greed. Calverto ate most of the gold mines and mines in the Magic System. It is said to resurrect drinking, and because of that, the machinery became desolate and met the atmosphere. The aftermath is still crazy. We've developed magical fertilizers to grow crops, but · · · · · · ·. ”

After hearing Arina's explanation, Calverto had a lot of complaints. The only remaining assets were claimed to have been ransomed after Calverto was sealed.

Calverto's soul is tied up and he's been doing nothing for hundreds of years. He feels very sorry for him.

A little while ago, it was an image of a beautiful and strong woman, but now it looked very salty.

‘In the original article, there was a mention that the magic system was desolate. ’

It was remembered that the Horseman said so.

I had no idea Calverto was responsible for the desolation of the magic system. In the original, not only the horse system, but also other fantasy worlds appeared. The original was a mixture of various things, so it was natural.

“What about the Crucible Tower? ”

After Jinwoo asked, Arina followed.

The Crucible Tower is said to contain all of Calverto's legacy, or power.

The trials consisted of three stages: Powers can be gained each time you break through. Once you've broken through all the stages, you'll be able to fully gain Calverto's power.

It was considerate to see Jinwoo's weak body and to make sure there were no side effects. It seemed to have been designed to grow well and absorb well.

‘It's easy to tell because it looks like a game quest. ’

Jinwoo nods.

The legacy was not the only power. It is said that if you pass all the stages, you will get Fragments of Drinking which contain the energy of Drinking. Calverto has been sealed and is trying to protect it.

In the original, the protagonist who defeated Calverto had it, but after believing in a woman with a sad story, he was betrayed and handed over to his rival.

And the protagonist rival is Awakened!

It was such a development.

‘The more I think about it, the more frustrating it is. ’

No, why are you holding it?

I could somehow understand what I had without destroying it. By the way, why are you talking to a woman who hasn't seen you in days?

‘I'll smash it as soon as I get it. ’

If Calverto finds out, he'll wake up from his grave again. But I don't know what to do.

It vanished like that.

Crucifixion was not just about catching monsters or anything, but about achieving a goal. It was easy to understand when I thought it was a challenge for the game

You are escorted to the center of the tower by Arina. You place your hand on the middle lens, and a powerful force is drawn to you. Some experience points were absorbed from the monsters that had caught the wrong quality. I checked the level and reached 70.

‘It was a stagnant zone. Good. ’

The explosive level-up was an unexpected, high-difficulty training interval. Jin Woo checked the information.

[S] Calverto's Trial

A test made by Calverto to pass on power.

The impact of Lee Jin-woo's skills has changed accordingly. If you pass the test, you'll gain a huge amount of EXP and Calverto's power.

[Tier 1] Trial of Honor

The Monarch of Greed is the worst monarch known to man. Described as the worst being in mythology, it symbolizes all kinds of disasters and disasters.

His recognition enhances his power.

It doesn't matter if it's pretentious. Let's be charming and respectable celebrities.

* Goal Assignment: [A] Honor

[Stage 2] Trial of Domination

The monarch of greed is the worst monarch who rules and ridicules everything in sight. The aftermath of his misdeeds remains on the ground.

Influence made him great.

It does not matter in any field, in any way. Let's make him an irreplaceable ruler of influence.

* Goal Task: [A] Influence

[Step 3]??? (Not Qualified)

‘It's literally a challenge. ’

It was a long term quest that could not be done in a short time. It seemed easier just to catch a monster.

I didn't even get a glimpse of how to start. However, that reward was expected. What if I get to level 70 just by challenging you?

Jinwoo nods.

I decided to take it slowly and seriously.

Jinwoo looks back at Arina. Arina's expression was still cold.

“Anything else? ”

“The power left over by Calverto gives you access to the Dimensional Shop. Items from all over the dimension are registered there. ”

“Shop · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“I don't recommend it because it's so expensive. It is very expensive, even if you subtract transfer fees and fees. ”

I was very interested in the word expensive. There was no concept of being expensive to Jinwoo.

I had forgotten that word for a long time.

“You must be interested. I can show you if I want to. ”

“What can I live with? ”

“I pay fees and convert any money from a dimensional store. Money has special powers. It will be converted to a dimensional gold coin of a corresponding value, depending on the rarity. ”

“Really?"

“But judging by the look on the owner's face, I doubt that's necessary. There is no money to be made here. ”

As Arina said, there was nothing left but power. The treasure is not far, but flying.

He took all the good things and put them on, but it didn't seem right to Arina. They looked plausible but could be worn by a lesser horseman.

Calverto was poor for a legendary existence. He was a divine being who had consumed enormous treasures and resources to build up great power. It was a poor Arina, guarding the empty rares of a time-honored barn. Moreover, in the end, it has been called to this unknown dimension.

‘Apparently, this place will be desolate as well. ’

It's where the greedy Calverto was. Fortunately, I was only able to return to the horse system after keeping business hours. Only a small cottage where she could lie down was a place to comfort her mind. It was cold and hungry, but the only comfort was that there was a house that could stop the wind.

Arina shakes her head at the crescent. Calverto was, however, comparable to God.

I wondered if such a Calverto had chosen such a weak man. The salary seemed hard to anticipate, judging by the look of it.

Of course, Arina knew better than anyone that even though she looked noble like a nobleman, she couldn't eat with it.

“Do I have to bring my own money? ”

“No, it will be automatically transferred through the golden sanctuary. ”

“Well, it's a nice bank transfer. ”

“Hmm, that way. ”

Arina points to the side. There was a place on the wall that said dimensional exchange points. I felt like a slot machine with a hole in it to get paid. It felt a bit shabby.

Running the Dimensional Currency Exchange reminded me of a blue window.

“Oh · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Jinwoo showed me the money that could be run right now. I even showed all the money in Jinwoo's personal vault, but it was quite curious. The conversion fee was 10%.

‘Let's just take out about 50 billion lightly. ’

Given the value of the artifacts, I'm guessing it's not much money. I put in 500 billion amps and pulled the lever. It was a pity that the waste stack was difficult to build because the commissions didn't seem so expensive.

The Dimensional Exchange began to tremble. Arina snorts and looks at Jinwoo, her eyes wide as she feels an unusual atmosphere.

“Hmm? Not enough? Not a peep. ”

“Hey, wait a minute! ”

Jinwoo pulls the lever hard.

I kept pulling until something came out. I felt very fresh that I could become poor here too. I haven't felt chewy in a while.

Chewy that I forgot.

This was the taste of spending money!

I remembered a time when I was afraid to buy a lunch box at a convenience store.

Come to think of it now, it was a memory.

Puff! Puff!

With a cheerful sound, a gold coin that was emitting a golden light rolls out. I put in a pretty big amount and it was one gold coin.

Jinwoo picks up the gold coin and looks at Arina. Arina leaps out of the counter with an urgent look on her face.

“Well, that's too few. ”

“Behind, behind. ”

The other wall began to have a hole in the same dimension as the conversion station. There are hundreds of holes.

Tinking!

The gold coins come out one by one from the hole and vibrate on the ground. It was a moment when Arina's expression was reflected.

Farr!

An enormous amount of gold coins fall down like waterfalls.

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“No, that's ridiculous. Unh!"

“Ugh!"

Jinwoo and Irina rush out of the Crucible Tower, swarming with gold coins. Jinwoo was much larger than expected. Jiwoo, who was buried in gold coins, barely woke up. I felt the cold feeling of gold coins entering my body.

When Irina got up, she was dumbfounded by the large quantity of gold coins.

“Tons of Doubloons · · · · · · · · · · ·, ha, ha, ha · · ·. Haha.”

“That's more than I thought. ”

I was very proud to see the Garden of Gold Coins shining in gold.

There was also a desire to fill it with a little too much effort. It was because I had only seen movies or cartoons. I thought I could swim inside the gold coin.

“Arina, is this enough? ”

“· · · · · · Owner. ”

Arina, who was dumbfounded, kneels down and bows her head to Jinwoo. The series of movements were very quick. It was even painted.

Her cheeks flare. The pointed ears also turned quite red. The eyes were bloodshot and looked quite dangerous.

“I will do my best to manage the legacy. Leave it to me."

“Didn't I tell you not to be polite to the weak? ”

Arina listens to Jin Woo and checks. He looked very serious.

“Wealth is power. Talent is the ultimate power! Money calls for money, so it's unlimited power! What an Infinity Power! ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Power? It's nothing compared to that! You can buy force with your money! Money is God! The truth of the dimension! There's nothing greater than money. ”

“Well, I see. ”

Arina's eyes sparkle. When I first saw it, I had a shadow on my face, and it even looked like it was damaged, but now I was full of life. The pink air currents in my eyes felt very dangerous.

Favor: 110% [Threshold (Charmed)]

Loyalty: 150% [Breakthrough (Excessive Loyalty)]

‘It looks very dangerous. ’

After checking with Maan, the condition is abnormal. Loyalty rose by 150%, which was only 0.3%, even in the second round.

The greedy monarch was indeed the one who chose it.

“So · · · · · · · · Is this a lot? ”

“No, not that many! You'll be able to live in one of the cities of Mahjong! ”

“Just this? ”

Her reaction suggests that the Earth's money has a higher exchange rate than expected.

“Well, winter. Isn't this my entire fortune? ”

“No. ”

“Well, then, how much? ”

I couldn't help but notice the look in Arina's eyes. Jin Woo takes a moment to think and then opens his mouth.

“To put it bluntly, it's about allowance. ”

“Knng!”

It wasn't even allowance.

Arina staggers to see if she was shocked. Her eyes are completely engulfed in heartlight. He seemed to have taken a liking to Doubloons because of the Horses.

“Ah! I want to see the store. ”

“Yes! I'll show you! Follow me! Watch your step! Master, may I carry you? ”

“It's okay. Why don't you just make yourself comfortable? ”

“How dare I do that to you? Forget about the trend. Punish me and I'll take it easy on you! Please don't leave me! For your sake, I will be your servant forever! ”

Landscape conversion was a level class.

It was the same for the Horsemen that changed in front of the money. She gives you a dazzling look and guides you down the path of gold coins. I was impressed by the way the gold coins walked.

My first impression was broken.

The cold, cynic-looking beauty disappeared.

“This is a Dimensional Shop! ”

Arina opens her arms with all her might. I smiled brightly, but my mouth was twitching.

She was desperate.

Isn't she the tragedy of money?
