Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 48

"Oh! Yes, it does. That's the main business of our family that my father runs. Royal Blue was more of a side project he started because my mom was bored after her retirement from the entertainment industry. So to keep her busy and not laze around he started the Royal Blue. That is also why there is only one branch of that hotel even after so many years." She shrugged and said casually, making both their mouths drop a little. Especially Joon-won because he knew the importance of money in the world after he started working for it again.
"Your parents casually started a world-class restaurant cause one of them was lazing around? I don't think I will understand the rich mentality in this lifetime." Jung-hwa shook her head. Hea-Jung laughed but didn't respond to that statement. Her family was very rich, and she knew the things people of their status do aren't particularly normal in the eyes of others.
They reached the car and both of them sat in the back seat. Hea-Jung noticed this and jokingly said, "Why did you both jump into the backseat so quickly? Am I your driver?" To which Jung-hwa's timid personality showed itself as she moved to the front.
Joon-won didn't move as he simply continued to look outside while feeling the car. It was his first time sitting in one and he thought it was very comfortable compared to the horse-pulled carriages he was used to. It was the same good looking red car he saw her driving a few days ago.
Hea-Jung started the car and drove out of the campus. She took out her sunglasses and wore them before looking at Joon-won through the mirror and asking, "Little brother, why are you so silent? What do you think about these glasses I bought recently? Do they suit me?"

Joon-won was about to think about the system once again but got interrupted before he could. He looked at the mirror reflection and said plainly, "Look at the road, not the mirror."
She laughed and continued without minding his reply, "You should treat this big sister of yours to a meal. You got a big chance today. Don't be so petty."
"I only got an opportunity to audition, not the role itself to give a party. Let's talk about that after I get a role in a movie and why do you need a party from me? I'm working in a supermarket to earn some small amounts of money. I can't throw a party you desire."
"Don't be like that, little brother. You should enjoy and celebrate all the little steps like this first audition you are taking towards your ultimate goal. And when did I ever say I want a big party? It's not like I don't know where you work. Just treat me to a small meal and that will be ok. Big sister isn't much of a picky eater, so you are lucky."
"Alright, I'll give you one before the end of the summer vacation." He finally relented. He started to feel like Hea-Jung was a spoiled child who wouldn't leave until she got what she wanted.
"Now, give me your number, little brother. I'll save it." She whipped out her phone while still driving.
"Don't drive with one hand. See how tense Jung-hwa is with your driving. Just give me the phone, I'll save it for you. Keep both your hands on the steering wheel." He held his hand through the front seats and noticed the quiet Jung-hwa.
Hea-Jung laughed and gave him the phone. Joon-won quickly saved his phone number and gave it back. She took it and dialed his number before saying, "Save mine too."

It didn't take them long before they reached the high-class area of the city. As he looked out, he noticed the high-rises which went into the sky and all the fancy-looking cars driving around. He couldn't even guess the price tags of each car. He noticed Jung-hwa had her mouth wide open as she also looked out the car.
As both of them continued to look outside, Hea-Jung shook her head. She was expecting this kind of response from both of them. So she could only shake her head and leave both of them be.
This scenery was a drastic difference compared to see the area he lived where cars were not as exotic and were very plain. Most of the people drove two-wheelers which cost less. He sighed, seeing how the differences in society remain, even in different worlds.
The poor and rich live worlds apart and there isn't much anyone can do about it. As a King, he did his utmost best to merge these two contrast worlds as he experienced the pain of being poor and the joy of being rich. But he couldn't accomplish it in his lifetime as he gave up. Some problems were never meant to be dissolved, and that was just how the world was.
The car came to a stop and both of them snapped out. They were already in front of a fancy building. Joon-won could see a few women wearing the hotel uniform outside.
Hea-Jung looked at both of them and said, "Alright, let's get going. Uncle is already inside waiting for us." And got down. Both of them followed and saw her throw the keys at one of the men to park the car.
Joon-won caught a glimpse of the interior and saw the huge chandelier in the middle of the reception with everyone inside dressed properly. Compared to them, they looked plain and out of place.
One of the women walked towards Hea-Jung and respectfully said, "Young miss, Mr.Hwan is waiting for your group in the private dining area your father reserved."
"Alright, let's get going. Little brother, Jung-hwa stop staring like that. Let's go." She beckoned them over and walked inside with the female employee, showing them the way.

The Ascendant: Endless Reincarnation
My name is Richard Brooks. I died while saving a kid. Kicking the bucket at 28 was really depressing, you know? There’s so much I still wanted to do. But instead of passing on, I was thrust into an endless series of reincarnations. Whenever I die, I earn Karma points based on my achievements and growth. These points can be exchanged for weapons, spells, or other bonuses to make my next lives more interesting. “What kills me only makes me stronger!” Or something like that. Honestly, it feels like I’m stuck in an RPG. The difficulty setting can be pretty ridiculous too. Sometimes all I can do is grit my teeth in frustration as I die an ignoble death. But I won’t complain. Even when it’s dangerous and painful, I love life. This is all an opportunity; I’ll do my best, no matter what kind of sadistic fate the System throws at me. I will swing the warhammer of justice! Craft and enhance the most amazing artifacts! Overwhelm opponents with a barrage of auto-casting spells! Lead powerful vassals in Domain wars! All for the sake of creating an eternal sanctuary. With my unique power of Runecrafting, maybe I’ll even become strong enough one day to overturn fate… or at least find out what the hell is really going on. It might take a few hundred or a thousand lifetimes, but what’s the rush? I have all the time in the world now. (Note: R15+ This is the work of a very inexperienced author with a full time job.
