Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 24
Advertisement
Joon-won had a nice movie night and learned more about the standards of acting after seeing the movie. After the movie was over, he quickly jumped on the bed and fell asleep. He still had work tomorrow.
Waking up the next day, he followed the same routine and got fresh before going to work. It was the same as yesterday, Eum Kyung was busy dealing with the morning rush of students and office workers. Before going to the back and changing clothes, he decided to have a light breakfast and so grabbed a few sandwiches to eat.
He walked up to Eum Kyung and said, "Good morning. Looks like it is as busy as always."
"Ah, Joon-won, you're finally here. Come help me already, I'm very tired." As he scanned the sandwiches.
Joon-won paid the money and said while grabbing the sandwiches, "Wait a minute. I'll finish these and.come out to help." Walking towards the back door. He could hear Eum Kyung's tired sigh as he continued working.
He didn't waste much time and quickly started having his breakfast. Gobbling up the sandwiches, he drank some water from the water bottle he had and changed clothes.
By the time he got out, he noticed Eum Kyung still working while there were customers around the store. He walked towards the counter quickly and took over as Eum Kyung tiredly fell on the chair, closing his eyes. Joon-won who just got on the job was much faster and quickly went through the customers.
After another 20 minutes, the store was finally empty and he could also sit down. They both talked a little and Joon-won got to know more about Eum Kyung. He was actually an aspiring novelist. After going home and taking a nap, he would write his novel. Eum Kyung even published a book last year even though it wasn't a big hit, it was ok. He had to work in the store because he needed some cash and was doing it for the last 3 months.

"It's really hard to get inspiration. I try very hard, but I just can't think of a good idea for a plot. Now the money I got from the last book is over and I am forced to do night shifts here." Eum Kyung exclaimed his problems.
Joon-won shook his head and advised, "You know what, bring me your book tomorrow and I'll read it when I have free time. I can give feedback."
Eum Kyung nodded and got up to change his clothes. As he went through the back door, Gah Soo came into the store.
"Oh, Joon-won good morning. Where is Eum Kyung?" She quickly greeted him.
"Oh, you are here on time today. Well, he just went to change his clothes and leave." Pointing towards the back door. She nodded and walked away to get ready. After a bit both of them walked out and Eum Kyung went away.
Their shift continued, and it was a smooth sailing as there were only a couple of ladies who walked in during that time, and both of them continued to talk. Gah Soo was the one to mainly talk as Joon-won just listened.
"That teacher is so annoying. He is a complete pervert and also dumb. I mean, who doesn't know about investments? Even a person walking outside with zero knowledge about finance knows what it is. He used that dumb question to try and get closer to a girl." She huffed angrily while ranting on about her university problems.
"I don't know about Investments. What is it?" Joon-won interjected before she could continue.
"What? You don't know about investing? Are you dumb?" She looked at him like an alien which in response only got a deadpanned response from him as he was only looking for an answer, not sarcastic remarks. He was curious because she exclaimed that everyone knew what it was.

"Alright, gosh, don't look at me like that. Ill tell you what it is." And proceeded to feed some basic knowledge about what investment really was, and she looked completely proud while she did it.
'We give others' money in return we get something called shares? And later we can sell shares to earn money?' the topic fascinated him.
"Don't think it's very easy to invest in a company. There were many cases where people lost all their wealth because of one bad investment decision. People should do so much research before they invest. It's very hard as the market is highly unstable." She warned him when she noticed the look of fascination.
He nodded at her warning. He also didn't completely believe it would be a walk in the park for people to gain money all the time.
"Do you also invest?" He asked her curiously. He wanted to know more.
She held her chin high once again and nodded she said, "Of course I did. But my investment is short term and a small amount of money. So my profit is also very small."
'Bigger the investment, Bigger the risk, hence Bigger the reward.' he came to a conclusion.
"Do you want to try investing?" She looked at him curiously.
He shook his head and said, "No, I don't have that much spare money to invest in companies. Also, this is like gambling and it's too risky for me. Probably in the future but not now." He was dirt poor. He can't give other's money.
"That's good, don't invest when you don't have much money. If you ever do then consult me once, I can help you choose a good company." She patted her chest with confidence.
He nodded, and both continued on with their shift until Joon-won left at 1 with some food in his hands.

Tim the Engineer
Summoned against his will to a world of swords and magic, an engineering student struggles to find a way home under the shadow of a world devouring threat. ***************************** Updates: 5/13/19: Revisions to several chapters for clarity, grammar, and style. 4/29/19: A short side story and artwork has been added to the blog. 4/8/19: A Side Story has been updated on my new blog (every writer is required to have one). https://talesfromliahar.wordpress.com/ ***************************** “The summoning scenarios are broken down into groups of ten.” Emi Ito stated. “Don’t, don’t you dare say another word.” Muttered Genzo Uchida. His eyes had turned bloodshot and his hands shook with rage. “The first thirty…” “Shut up!” Genzo bellowed “How dare you help these disrespectful gaijin?” Flecks of spit and madness flew from his face, his fist raised ready to strike. But Emi did not flinch, instead she was about ready to continue when Yuma Takeuchi interrupted her. “Uchida, please,” her sweet sounding words could melt ice. “I think we will have a better chance of getting home if we all work together.” When she glanced up with her sleepy looking eyes at Genzo Uchida he deflated visibly. “Were not getting home.” Uchida said coolly. “Group summoning, large, that puts us in the 60 series. No one came to greet us after five minutes of arrival. That leaves scenarios 68 and 69. In scenario 68 there is something that binds the large group together; they are all classmates or a single family. But thanks to the gaijin” he spit out the word “I think we are scenario 69 with no way home.” Ikko Inoue’s eyes went wide, while Katsukno and Hayata started muttering to themselves. Tim took on a serious look and rubbed his scruffy chin. Emi maintained her stoic expression while trying to find something to refute. McKenzie glanced at Randall and giggled. Randall took the prompting of his teammate and followed up by approaching Genzo. “Uh, so we are in a sixty-nine?” “Yes.” Replied Genzo with the seriousness of someone who’s life was about to end. McKenzie covered her mouth and snickered. “You and me, were stuck in a sixty-nine situation?” Randall pushed with a grin. “Yes, we are all stuck in a sixty-nine scenario together!” Genzo retorted in anger. McKenzie fell on her butt laughing. “What the hell is so funny?” Demanded Genzo, whose face had turned red. “It’s a problem with the automatic translation.” Retorted Tim. Randall, who seemed unable to quit started in again “So, about this sixty-ni…” Genzo interrupted Randall with a swift punch to the face. But, because of their height difference it was a bit of an uppercut that left Randall rattled. Tim and Ikko moved to step in between the two, but Genzo showed no further hostility. Instead he just stared at his clenched fist with such intensity it grabbed the attention of the room. “I unlocked a skill.” He said bluntly. ***************************** This is not a light novel, but people who like light novels should enjoy the themes of this book. ***************************** A Map of the Region

Or at the cost of others? Beliefs are one of the most powerful and destructive things in the world. It drives us to act, pushes us to continue, and can lead to fulfillment.
