– Skill: Using [EX] Coin Market.

Ziiing-.

– Bringing a familiar interface to the user.

It seemed like Seonghyun was looking for a familiar interface. The shape of the interface kept changing.

“What is this, Shinhan? Bank of America? Huh!”

The icon of the trading app that Seonghyun mainly used appeared in his sight.

“It’s called Coin Market, but it looks exactly like the one I used before?”

Seonghyun thought about clicking on the app in his mind.

And then, the status window automatically launched the app.

The Coin Market that appeared in his sight was just as he had imagined.

All the indicators he used were there, and the layout of various functions was the same.

However, unlike the stocks in the trading app.

Unfamiliar names were listed in market capitalization order.

“What are these?”

Market Capitalization Ranking

#1 Titan

#2 Celestial

#3 Asgard

.

“These names are strangely familiar.”

Seonghyun thought he wanted to take a closer look at them by moving his sight.

-To acquire Dimensional Shares, you need to open a Dimensional Account. Would you like to open one?

Seonghyun stroked his chin as he looked at the notification that popped up.

“Hmm… I’ll open one.”

-Collecting information on user Kim Seonghyun. Do you agree?

“Hmm… It’s a bit sketchy, but I can’t help it. I agree.”

-Account has been opened.

-The settlement of coins that were postponed due to the absence of an account has begun.

-Hunted an Ancient Tiger and obtained 100 coins.

-Current account balance of Kim Seonghyun: 100C

“100 coins… It seems like the currency used here.”

Seonghyun narrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the interface in front of him.

“I have no idea what’s what…”

Seonghyun scratched his head and looked at his account.

Suddenly, he remembered the voice he heard before passing out.

-Permission to access the Dimensional Exchange, allowed only to the gods, is granted. (Skill: Coin Market [EX] created)

“Dimension? Are they buying and selling dimensions here like stocks in companies? But is that even possible?”

Seonghyun clicked on the top stock in market capitalization to verify his assumption.

-Titan (#1)

Market Capitalization (million C): 3,124,871C

Price per unit (C): 420.5C

A dimension where many ancient gods reside as the second dimension.

“Huh? Is this for real?”

It was indeed a dimension.

“What can I do if I buy this?”

Curious, Seonghyun read the additional explanation.

“If I buy this, items and skills existing in that dimension will be added to my store list.”

Is Earth there by any chance?

Seonghyun searched for Earth in the search bar.

“Earth… Huh? Not showing up? Then let’s try typing in English, Earth.”

It appeared. Earth.

-Earth (#5)

Market Capitalization (million C): 1,781,685 C

Price per unit: 174.4 C

A dimension where all the myths of the gods began. Many traces still remain, and due to those traces, there are many exceptional individuals. The mecca of summoning heroes. Let’s summon heroes from Earth when needed.

“Huh?”

Earth is ranked 5th? The dimension where all the myths began?

Just to be sure, Seonghyun checked the market capitalization and indeed, Earth was comfortably sitting in 5th place.

“It’s written as ‘Earth,’ so for a moment, I thought it wasn’t Earth.”

And then, the last explanation caught his eye. Summoning heroes?

Is this really about summoning heroes?

Wait, but that magic circle or whatever appeared under the boy.

Am I being fooled?

“Damn it! Why am I the only one suffering through a web novel development while others get a full-blown novel? Ah!”

Seonghyun exploded in frustration.

Then, Seonghyun randomly started pressing the interface.

“Well, I’ll have to see it all eventually. Might as well press everything now.”

Nothing particularly significant happened.

However, he did learn something.

One, by using coins, there is a shop where you can purchase stats, skills, attributes, and items.

Two, the current dimension is called Hermopolis. It was displayed in his account.

The market capitalization was quite cute at 21.65 million won.

It was a small dimension that only had 2.6 coins per week.

Third, he found a way to return to Earth.

On the screen, tips popped up occasionally, and tips were crucial in this interface.

-Do you know? If the ownership percentage of a dimension exceeds 5%, you can go to that dimension anytime.

Yes. He found a way to return to Earth.

Originally, the summoning of a hero was based on capturing a demon or something equivalent and returning to the original place.

But due to the uniqueness of his abilities, he could return to Earth anytime as long as he had enough coins.

“But when did I collect all of this? If I calculate it, I need almost 90 billion coins, right? I caught one tiger and it was 100 coins, so… hmm… 900 million tigers? Ha… hahaha.”

Seonghyun clicked on the coin shop in the top left corner.

“So, the shop currently offers to increase the physical level from 1 to 10 using 5 coins each, and from 11 to 20 it increases by 10, and so on in multiples of 10, right? Then, with a simple calculation of 90 billion coins… Ha! Is this right?”

Seonghyun looked up at the sky in disbelief.

“If that’s the amount, I might as well just defeat the demon king.”

Tears welled up in Seonghyun’s eyes as he looked at the shop.

“I need to collect seed money. After that, I can invest just like I did on Earth.”

Seonghyun gazed at the forest with a strange smile on his face.

His senses were telling him that there were numerous treasures there.

The forest, which had seemed scary, now appeared to be a forest flowing with milk and honey.

“Seed money.”

Seonghyun exuded a strange desire from his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.

“Let’s raise the physical level to 10 first. And if my knowledge of magic is correct… let’s get familiar with it first.”

-Physical level has reached 10.

Seonghyun adjusted his posture on the large rock he was sitting on.

The posture felt familiar.

Seonghyun calmed his mind.

‘Observe. Meditate.’

Seonghyun’s consciousness gradually sank downward.

As he delved into his inner self, Seonghyun suddenly felt a pleasant coolness.

Rustle-

Feeling a pleasant sensation as if he were feeling a cool breeze in autumn, Seonghyun raised the corners of his mouth and focused on that sensation.

The refreshing energy seemed to fade away as Seonghyun approached it, like a child hiding its face.

“It’s okay. I just want to be friends with you.”

Seonghyun didn’t resist the energy trying to move away from him, nor did he raise his voice.

He simply reached out his hand cautiously.

And the energy cautiously approached Seonghyun and shook hands.

Whoosh-

At that moment, Seonghyun awakened to magic.

-You have awakened to magic through your talent. You acquire the Magic Sensing [B] skill.

Only then did Seonghyun open his eyes, and a strange gray aura lingered in his eyes.

“This is magic… By the way, skills can be obtained in this way too.”

After awakening to magic, manipulating magic felt so easy that he couldn’t understand why he hadn’t used it before, why he hadn’t realized it.

Swoosh-

Seonghyun let the magic flow into the joints of his legs and leaped lightly.

And Seonghyun’s body soared lightly and swiftly into the air.

“What is this?”

As he jumped higher than his own body, Seonghyun laughed like a child.

“Haha? It’s better than I thought?”

Seonghyun wanted to know his maximum power.

So he jumped.

Whoosh-

As Seonghyun started to jump, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, giving him the feeling of riding in an open car.

“Woah!”

Perhaps due to his lack of proficiency, his magic was quickly depleted, and Seonghyun felt like his head was about to explode.

Seonghyun held his head, feeling like it was about to burst, and spent coins to raise his magic level to 10.

-Magic level has reached 10.

As if reaching its limit, the mana that had been meticulously written surged through Seonghyun’s body.

Seonghyun felt an unfamiliar discomfort.

“This doesn’t seem right….”

It felt like navigating an unpaved road.

Seonghyun gently guided the erratic mana to move in a controlled manner.

There were no blockages as the mana moved. This was because he had awakened and expelled all the impurities from his body.

Like a child holding their parents’ hands and walking, the mana moved according to Seonghyun’s guidance.

“Here, through here, along the blood vessels, then condense and rotate here.”

Seonghyun simply activated the mana as his instincts directed.

The writhing mana moved towards Seonghyun’s lower abdomen and began to rotate.

Whoosh-.

The mana, which was initially the size of a bean, quickly expanded its size. The initial size was just the beginning.

The level 10 mana that Seonghyun invested in was equivalent to a simple calculation of level 1.

Seonghyun was simply containing this talent within his body.

Here, Seonghyun furrowed his brows at the discomfort he felt in his lower abdomen.

But he did not stop.

Stopping meant the end.

“Here, insert the nature of the new mana, balance! Balance!”

Seonghyun instinctively released the mana outside his body for a moment and then rotated it in the opposite direction.

He then smoothly merged the circulating mana with it.

Whoo-.

The clash between Yin and Yang principles began.

However, before they clashed, Seonghyun rotated the mana as a whole in a circular motion.

If there were people related to the martial world here, they would have looked at Seonghyun and exclaimed.

– The Tao of the Shaman…!

His appearance was like the Tao.

But it was different from their Tao.

Seonghyun’s Tao was the true essence of the Tao.

The fusion of opposites and purity.

“Now that the mana has calmed down, I should go earn some coins.”

Unaware of this fact, Seonghyun simply felt refreshed.

Only now did Seonghyun enter the forest, seemingly prepared.
