The Lord's Coins Aren't Decreasing?!

Chapter 3

[Will you begin your dimensional trading?]

[(Accept/Reject)]

A blue hologram message appeared before his eyes.

There was no way he wouldn’t know it, the meaning behind it.

In his past life, when he saw the hologram for the first time, he was so shocked that he almost tumbled.

But three years later, the excitement started to disappear as he became more used to it.

Thus, the message itself didn’t surprise him that much.

The problem was.

‘Wh… why is this popping up here?’

Erun looked at his surroundings then tried to search for something in his arms in order to understand this strange phenomenon.

But it turned out that nothing was there.

It was an obvious thing.

It was because now, the Dimensional Transaction Book was still beneath a pile of dust in the family’s notes, still waiting for Erun to discover it.

‘There’s no Dimensional Transaction Book… So how come there’s a Dimensional Transaction Book’s message in here?’

“Young Master, are you alright?”

Haphael approached Erun as he asked the question.

His face was a mixture of worry and surprise.

“I am fine, but don’t you see something strange here?”

Erun touched the message.

As he touched it, there was a distortion, and the letters became squashed, but when he pulled his hand away, the message came back to the way it was before.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about…?”

“Well, I wonder what was that.”

He had no reason to say what it was if Haphael could see it, and he had lesser reason if he couldn’t see this.

“…Are you joking around?”

“No.”

As Erun had a serious look on his face, Haphael grew more serious.

“Are you seeing illusions because of fatigue…? That’s why I told you to stop!”

“Haa.”

Haphael didn’t even give a glance at the message.

If that was on purpose, his acting skills would let him enter the Royal Theatre.

‘So I’m the only one who can see this.’

Haphael then helped Erun to stand up.

“I don’t think you’re fine. Let’s go to a therapist.”

“I’m alright.”

“No, you said that you’re alright a little while ago. Young Master knows that if there’s anything wrong with you, I’ll be responsible for it, right?”

“I said that I’m alright.”

A slow yet clear voice.

Haphael stared at Erun’s eyes as he wondered whether he heard wrong.

The usual dull look that Erun always had was nonexistent.

They were still indifferent but deep.

As if telling him that even though he was Erun’s sword master, he was also Erun’s father’s vassal.

‘You don’t forget the fact that I’m a Steelguard too, right?’

It seemed like Erun’s voice was glimmering within his ears.

He, who was the 1st rank Knight, avoided Erun’s eyes.

But at that time.

There was something that bothered the corner of his sight.

Bzzzz.

There was a sparkling blue glow coming from Erun’s left eye.

It was a light that shone brightly that one couldn’t say that it was only the glitter of one’s eyes.

‘What was that?’

He quickly looked at Erun’s eyes once more, but this time there were nothing else his sclera and eyeballs.

‘Am I starting to see illusions too?’

When Haphael seemed to grow extremely puzzled, Erun erased the serious look on his face and showed a smile.

“Actually, it was just a joke. What could I have seen anyway?”

“Pardon?”

“I’m indeed tired. That’s why it’s better if I take a rest. I will go back to my room.”

“Di… did you get offended because of such a thing?”

“It’s because you kept ruining the mood. Even though I was doing my best in practicing after such a long time.”

“Because Young Master thinks of it that way…”

As Haphael grew frustrated, the corner of Erun’s mouth raised higher.

“This is a joke too, though. I know what Captain means.”

“Yes…”

“Then, because I have finished my practice, I can go, right?”

“Of course. Please rest well.”

Erun was now certain.

‘So I’m the only one who can see this.’

Even though a transparent book suddenly appeared in front of him, Haphael didn’t show any reaction.

The thickness of a handspan.

A cover that felt like leather.

As it showed up in mid-air, there was indeed a crucial difference as the back of the book was shining.

It was really the Dimensional Transaction Book that he always brought along in his past life.

In the message that said whether he wanted to start the transaction or not.

‘I don’t know how it came to happen, but let’s try to start doing it. Accept!’

Then the Dimensional Transaction Book appeared.

It was the book that he always kept by his side except when he was eating and sleeping after he found out how to use it.

Even though it was stolen by the assassin in the end, it was with him till death.

He was certain it was that Dimensional Transaction Book.

‘At that time, it was just an ordinary book, what did it…’

Whoosh~

The Dimensional Transaction Book was floating in the air and kept following Erun.

Unless everyone was acting mean and trying to deceive Erun, it was definitely a sight that only he could see.

‘Impossible. They can’t see this?’

[Registration processing]

[Existing ID found!]

[Now bringing up information.]

Whoossh, whiiiiirrr!

What extraordinary sight! The book was flipping the pages by itself.

Then, a blue light spread in all directions.

“Good morning, Young Master.”

The head chamberlain, Urwin, greeted him.

He was the right person to be in charge of servants, thanks to his meticulous work.

He was an owner of sharp eyes that would even spot a single piece of dust on the floor.

That kind of person couldn’t see the extraordinary phenomenon that happened in front of Erun’s eyes.

“What’s good about my morning? I feel like dying.”

“Ah… you must be back from your training, Sir. You did an excellent job. What kind of meal would you like to have?”

“I’m too tired to eat right now. I’ll just skip it.”

“Understood. Oh… Ah?”

“What’s wrong?”

“You… Young Master’s left eye….”

“What about my eye?”

“…There’s some strange blue flame glowing from it.”

As soon as he heard it, Erun realized.

‘So everything was happening inside my eye.’

Urwin asked as he was confused.

“A… are you alright, Sir?”

Erun closed his left eye and answered calmly.

“I guess you won’t know since you’re not a knight. When mana is passing by, it looks like this. It’s nothing serious.”

Was it because of the sudden wink or the nonsense? Urwin tilted his head.

“Mana… Is that so?”

If Urwin was a knight, these kinds of words wouldn’t convince him, but according to ordinary people’s knowledge, mana was the origin of all sorts of miraculous things.

Fortunately, he thought that it might be the case and let it pass.

And they separated.

Bam.

Erun locked the door as soon as he came back to his room.

‘The Dimensional Transaction Book went inside my eye… what on earth does that mean?’

Erun was confused.

But soon.

‘Well, it makes even less sense for me to travel back 17 years in time. This is nothing.’

Compared to such an unrealistic fact, things that slightly didn’t make sense could be more accepted.

“Well, it’s not like this is a bad thing….”

Suddenly, a smile started to hang on Erun’s lips.

His strengths and weaknesses.

As he swayed and stabbed the sword one thousand times, he was thinking and thinking.

‘For now, he knows the future. Even though it was a waste of time, he had 17 years of living experience. But still… nothing but an ordinary ability.’

Erun knew himself well.

Only the Dimensional Transaction was the new variable.

All kinds of possibilities to make the change were hidden within it.

For this, he needed to obtain the Dimensional Transaction Book first, but because it occurred right in front of him, all the various plans became meaningless.

Of course, it was a good meaningless thing.

The fact that he possessed the Dimensional Transaction Book starting from the first day he came back to the past.

He thought it might be a gift from the gods themselves.

Beep.

As soon as his inquiries ended, a message along with an alarm sound popped up.

[Account name : [S]UserOOOsss, Nickname: Erun]

[Would you like to proceed with the above information?

(Accept)]

‘Wait, why is there no [decline] option?’

Erun felt strange.

If the answer had been already decided, why did it have to ask in the first place?

As he thought about it, he noticed that the username was not common as well.

The [S] in front of it was uncommon, but the latter part was also strange.

His original ID was chosen randomly.

‘I remember that my ID before was… User014ETW, though.’

But a regular character string like this.

‘What is happening right now?’

For now, he could only continue.

“Accept!”

Whoooosh~

The light that came out from the Dimensional Transaction Book became brighter.

A strong blue light pierced his eyes.

[Dimensional Trading will now begin.]

Along with the message, a blue-colored screen filled the whole room.

The book that was spread widely formed a large hologram screen.

[Account name : [S]UserOOOsss, Nickname: Erun

Species: Human

Connection Location: System 0, Earth number 1342.

Trade rank: Level 0

Soul costume: Human on the streets

Remaining coins: 10]

The thing that popped up in the left part of the main page was the user, Erun’s information.

There was nothing that was remarkably different from the past life.

Moreover, the 10 coins.

Fortunately, it was the same amount of money that was left in his hands before he died.

‘Don’t tell me, the account of my past life just continues on like this?’

But to say it like that, the past account’s trade rank was level 2, but he was now in level 0, so it wasn’t quite right.

Some things stayed the same, others didn’t.

It was entirely up to the book’s heart’s content.

If it was like this, then, in reality, it all began from scratch.

But not completely from scratch.

There was an intangible asset that he could utilize.

He raised his head and checked the channel name.

[Channel System 0]

Erun tried to move to a different channel, but the channel didn’t change.

That probably means that he needed to meet the requirements if he wanted to approach a higher channel.

As he lowered his sight, a list of System 0’s traders that filled the whole screen came in front of his eyes.

-Wilson : Looking for food! Buying meat, grain, fruit, drink, and anything! On the verge of starving to death!

-Best Dyer : Looking for a magical sword that makes it possible to do a holocaust. If the spec is right, it’s a fantastic trade.

-To Touch : Please help me get revenge… on my parents! I’m buying anything that could be of help. So please request a trade.

-Ondalf : Buying 5th circle and higher attack magic scrolls.

He rolled his eyes to the side.

-Sculptor : Selling handmade artwork~ Decorate your empty rooms with this artwork.

-Yachelangelo : These are paintings I drew myself. Buy these and experience the world’s art culture by yourself.

-Genjiru : Selling rare animal skins. Just come here and try them first, then I will tell you how much it is.

The left side was the buyer’s page, and the right side was the seller’s page.

The demands and supply were being played separately.

It was a characteristic of the System 0 channel.

These were various worlds that were classified as a ‘lower system’ and were being put together.

The world that couldn’t meet the standard of [Dimensional Stock Exchange] was System 0. Thus they received the treatment of a lower system.

The fact that Erun started from Level 0 was because he came from System 0.

Of course, even though it was a lower system, it didn’t mean that there were no people.

It was because, in Erun’s world, there were also Beyond rank Knight and Great Wizards who were written in history.

The problem was the people who were rags to riches from a lower system immediately leveled up their trade rank and ascended to another channel.

‘I also went up to system 2 channel in the previous life.’

Because of that reason, being able to obtain a high-quality product in a lower system’s channel was close to reaching stars in the sky.

And even though he had to start with only 10 coins in level 0, it didn’t mean he had to be disappointed.

He knew that he could do Dimensional Trading without any Dimensional Trading Book.

‘No. I did have a Dimensional Trading Book but in a kinda different shape?’

A transparent Dimensional Trading Book was still floating by Erun’s side.

What did it mean?

Of course, it was good that he could do Dimensional Trading faster than what he’d expected, but if it was expanded more than his sight.

Because in the previous life, the Dimensional Transaction was getting caught, the book was stolen in the end.

And his whole body got tortured… in the worst, heinous, and brutal way.

Now there was no need to worry about it.

“A Dimensional Transaction Book within my eye, huh…”

The more he thought about it, the more he liked it.

As long as no one found out about it and pulled out his left eye, the Dimensional Transaction Book would belong to him forever.

The fact that if he could hide the seething glitter in his eye well, he could do the Dimensional Transaction anytime and anywhere was a good advantage.

According to the Trading’s external points, it had already been set in stone that this situation couldn’t be more perfect than this.

In the old days, he had to hide whenever he sensed someone’s presence as he was doing the Trading while secretly opening the book.

He surrounded his office and bedroom with a thick curtain so that no light could leak through the door.

It was to the point that the servants thought whether the Lord was a vampire.

Now those kinds of uncomfortable things would never happen anymore.

“Then, I just have to do my best.”

In his previous life, he kept getting deceived by the Dimensional Traders. Thus, all of his fortune that was piling up by his ancestors flew away just like that.

Erun was thinking about it.

That this time, it’s going to be different.

No, it had to be different.

He already experienced tons of failure, to the point that he was sick of it.

Those bullshit Dimensional Traders.

Those bastards who only lied whenever they spoke and deceived people whenever they breathed!

They were money goblins whose origins were swindlers and had always sold their souls for money.

Erun was deceived by them and kept on getting backstabbed till his back got destroyed.

He then tightened his fist.

‘Now it’s my turn to backstab all of you!’

However, in order to do that….

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.

One corner of Erun’s mouth was raised.

“For now, let’s go do some stretching.”
