Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 34:
Chapter 34: Way of the Sovereign (1)
The next day at noon .
There was a large and luxurious bed .
A man and two women were sleeping . All of them were naked . The room was littered with bottles and underwear . It was easy to guess what happened here last night .
“Um!”
The man opened his eyes . He was a handsome man in his 30s .
“Euh! My head hurts . I drank too much last night . ”
He got up and staggered around to get water .
Snap! Snap!
The cold water refreshed his spirit . At the same time, the messy room caught his eyes . The two women were still asleep .
The man woke the two women up .
"He woke up already?"
"Yawn! I want to sleep . This bed is too soft . ”
The man stuck a cigarette in his mouth and exclaimed .
"Get up and leave . ”
“What?”
"Oppa! What did you say just now?”
"Shut up and get lost! Haven’t you heard things about me? I am just a bad man . ”
The women were furious . The man from last night seemed completely different to the person in front of them now . Of course, the girls didn’t follow him because of kindness . They came because he paid one million per person .
“Fuck!”
"I have the worst luck!”
The women grumbled as they clothed themselves and left .
The man didn’t show any interest as he smoked a cigarette on the sofa in his living room .
After a while . The man got up and looked out the window .
Noon . The streets were crowded with people . It was lunchtime so workers were looking for restaurants .
But the man’s eyes were on the surrounding buildings, not the people . The reason was his recent mission .
Mission 5- Scout the neighbourhood to find a nearby, hostile sovereign .
-Compensation: Experience, 1000 nodes
That’s right . He was Jung Kwang-hyeon, a sovereign in the world of Hwanmong .
'I thought the whole dream and reality thing was ridiculous at first . I became a sovereign in a place called Hwanmong . ’
There was a meaningful smile on Jung Kwang-hyeon’s face . He was a power runner and had rugged muscles .
'Huhu, these muscles! I didn’t even exercise to gain these muscles!’
A perfect, muscular body that ordinary people would find hard to reach! Even his energy increased .
This was all due to the power of Hwanmong .
After passing the first mission of gathering 100 black magic energy, he had gone through the flesh construction process .
The second mission required constructing a barrack . The compensation for this was 500 nodes and inferior knowledge about goblins and orcs .
Thanks to the barrack, he could summon the goblins and orcs . They were disgusting monsters that normally only appeared in fantasy books . He honestly found them so disgusting that he didn’t even want to look at them . However, strong troops would make the sovereign more powerful .
So he had two barracks and he upgraded them to stage three . The stage three barracks could accommodate 30 monsters each . It was also the third mission .
The problem was the cost to summon the monsters . Fortunately, this could be covered by his taxes .
Every time he entered Hwanmong, he would be paid 1,000 nodes as taxes for his territories . Thanks to that, Jung Kwang-hyeon managed to summon 30 goblins and orcs in each barrack . That was mission 4 .
He got the title of Sovereign Herod as a reward . A sovereign with a total of 60 creatures!
He also received the Wyvern Ring that made the wearer immune to fear and confusion .
[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
His power rose tremendously thanks to the power of the ring .
Furthermore, his level rose! He had never done a combat mission, yet he was still Lv6 .
He had no intention of fighting directly with monsters in the future . He had no reason to risk death in fights when he could just raise his level through the missions . He would leave the fighting to his subordinates! A sovereign was meant to give commands .
He thought about it .
'This time, I will add one more barrack after entering Hwanmong . I’m not sure how strong the sovereign in the area is, but it will be game over with my forces . Huhuhu!’
It would be enough with the tax money . Complete victory! Once he found the location of the hostile sovereign, his troops would sweep through in minutes!
So he had to make a plan .
Susuk .
A man wearing a black hood appeared in front of him . The man lay down and cried out .
"I seek an audience with Lord!”
Jung Kwang-hyeon glanced at him and asked .
“Colt, do you know where the hostile sovereign is?”
Colt could exist in both reality and Hwanmong . He was an intermediate ghost that immediately swore his loyalty after Jung Kwang-hyeon became a sovereign .
"I didn't find them yet . The wandering ghosts in the area don’t know . ”
"Look for any even slightly suspicious buildings . We have to find that person first . ”
“Yes, Lord . ”
Colt disappeared somewhere .
That evening .
Kang-jun came back from selling socks to find Hayun waiting in Room 406 .
"Today a subordinate of Herod was asking the ghosts about you . ”
“Herod has started to act . Sooner or later, he will start attacking . ”
"He hasn’t found this place yet . Like I said, I have a hold on all the ghosts . They won’t say anything . ”
Kang-jun was delighted .
“Okay . Well done Hayun . ”
"I did great, right?”
"Of course . Well done . ”
Kang-jun stroked Hayun’s head . Hayun’s eyes started sparkling .
"Then buy me something delicious . ”
"Tell me what you want . ”
"Jajangmyeon, jjampong, sweet and sour pork!”
“I understand . ”
Kang-jun happily called a Chinese delivery restaurant .
Today he would eat a delicious meal with a ghost . Hayun had done something big for him, so it was worth spending money .
In this world, the ghosts were a source of information . All of them were controlled by Hayun, so the information belonged to Kang-jun .
Herod didn’t know anything, but Kang-jun knew about him . This alone would create an opportunity to reverse the situation .
The next evening .
Kang-jun signed an additional contract for Room 401 . Kim Yong-jae who originally lived in Room 401 was moved to another room, so the problem was easily solved .
It was necessary to spend money on Room 401 in order to build a research institute in Hwanmong . His subordinates would become much stronger if he built a research institute .
11 p . m .
It was finally time to enter the world of Hwanmong .
Kang-jun lay down on the bed and said to Hayun .
"I might call you later . ”
"I’ll be waiting . ”
"Then please sing a lullaby . ”
"Good night our baby . . . ”
Kang-jun’s eyes closed as he heard the lullaby . It was like Hayun was singing a sleeping spell as he quickly fell asleep .
[The door to Hwanmong is open . ]
[You have entered the world of Hwanmong . ]
His base located in Room 406 .
Unlike earlier, there was another person standing next to Kang-jun .
A youth with neat blue hair down to his waist . Pale skin that couldn’t be seen on a human . Sharply glittering grey eyes . Eyeshadow seemed to be used to paint dark circles around his eyes . A gloomy but fascinating appearance!
What was the identity of this youth? It was hard to know who he was . At that moment, he saw Kang-jun and bowed down .
"Keriun, seeking an audience with Lord!”
“Keirun? You are Keirun?”
Keirun was a rotting, elderly corpse with black hair . But this change! He looked good for a corpse .
“Kuhuk! I’ve regained my real face now that I am part of your household instead of a shadow sovereign . ”
"I’m glad to hear that . Then your abilities have become stronger?”
Keirun scratched his head and said .
"My capabilities are currently at level 1 . However, my level will slowly rise in the future . ”
"Slowly?"
“Yes . The amount of experience I get compared to Lord Sovereign is small, so my levelling speed will be slow . This is a rule in Hwanmong . ”
According to Keirun, the only ones with the right to level up quickly in Hwanmong were the sovereigns .
"Then those guys can also raise their level?”
Kang-jun pointed to the ratians that were waiting in front of the base .
"Yes, of course . They will become stronger in battles . Increasing their level and skills will be very useful to Lord . ”
Kang-jun was surprised . Even the monsters summoned to the barrack could level up?
Keirun’s eyes flashed as he continued speaking .
“But the most important thing is the level of the sovereign . One of the fastest ways to grow stronger is for the level of the sovereign itself to rise! This is the best way to survive in Hwanmong . ”
Kang-jun laughed . Keirun didn’t need to tell him this .
"That’s natural . Why else would there be sovereigns?”
"That's right, Lord . Most sovereigns, especially those with a lot of resources in the beginning, won’t risk their lives fighting monsters to level up . It is dangerous so they would rather rely on strong subordinates . For example, they only raise their level through missions . ”
“Missions? I’ve only received fighting missions . There are missions that don’t involve fighting?”
Keirun grinned .
“The missions given to each sovereign are different . In particular, it depends on what the sovereign wants! This is why Lord has only been given fighting missions . ”
“Then I would be given simple missions if I wanted it?”
"Of course . But that is a ridiculous choice . Those type of sovereigns will never last long . Let alone reaching the 100th mission, they normally have their necks cut by other sovereigns . ”
"Hrmm . "
"Sovereigns should only roll in the blood and sweat of monsters! They will feel the crisis of death but will become frighteningly strong with each survival . In the end, the sovereigns that start off with a lot of resources will be trampled on by others . ”
"Is that right?”
Kang-jun’s eyes were burning
