back.

I’m sure no one thought anything strange.

So, the other side of the world.

Heroes and those who were heroes.

At one time, they fought together to defeat villains, thought of each other as rivals and fought, and sometimes thought of each other as evil friends.

But the world they both saw was different.

While Baek Seol-hee only looked at the bright side of the world, Seong Ji-eun was forced to look at the dark side of the world.

There was mainly the influence of the sunshade, but before the sunshade, the entire Republic of Korea forced patriotism on Seong Ji-eun.

Building bridges with passion, roads with pride, and building apartments with a bag of cookies.

In 2025, it is no exaggeration to say that the real estate market in Korea was created thanks to the existence of Seong Ji-eun.

-There are forests in Korea. A forest of uniform asphalt.

Someone in the architectural world came forward to criticize such a situation.

All apartments had the same square footage, the same underground parking structure, and the location and configuration of the complex were the same.

-No, why is this design like this? How can all architectural structures be the same?

-But it was fast, right?

-I wonder how fast it was. No matter how fast Korea builds buildings, it would have taken at least a year.

-It takes one week to complete the building frame without any curing process. This ability is divine, and earth magic is invincible.

Because it was the same, I was able to speed up.

Thanks to the activities of a talented girl who was now erased and could not even be called by name, Korea was able to supply more than 100,000 apartments across the country.

-■■Sheep. Today we are going to make a 30-story building in Seomyeon. Would you like to try this?

-huh. After finishing, the guys will buy you soup and rice. Since I came to Busan, I have to eat pork soup. Oh, by the way, do you want to eat some seed hotteok?

No matter how identical the apartments are, once they are built, they are perfect.

The girl built numerous houses with the government people, and was paid for her work in various meals.

If the girl had received only 1% of the apartment construction cost, she would have become one of the top ten conglomerates in Korea by now.

That girl, now Seong Ji-eun, was completely exploited by her desire for real estate.

When Baek Seol-hee was praised as a hero, the girl had to be teased behind her back as an ‘apartment maker’.

And the girl was murdered.

Although she was an S-class psychic, the government was afraid that it would be revealed that they had been using the girl since childhood, so they ended up killing her.

“The reason I became a traitor was no different. It was the year I turned 18 that I found out that apartments sold publicly by the government cost something called ‘construction costs’.”

Grrr.

Seong Ji-eun took the wine I poured for her with one hand and lightly moistened her lips.

“How much labor cost do you think it will cost to build one apartment complex? Wait until curing is complete and attack the construction workers. As for me, I built so many apartments with my special ability and never received a single penny.”

I didn’t receive it because I didn’t know.

“When I was in elementary and middle school, I thought 50,000 won or 100,000 won was a lot of money. It was a very happy day when I built an apartment and received 500,000 won as pocket money.”

The moment I realized that the unit had to be at least ‘billion’, not ‘10,000’, was when I became a high school girl.

“The government at the time was wary of many things. People with special abilities are slowly starting to break their heads.”

Economic education was the problem.

Even those with special abilities had to receive a minimum level of education, and while receiving various educations in high school, they realized things they did not know.

“Until then, I was a child who could be used cheaply, but the time has come when I have to pay the full price or pay a higher price to use it.”

The value of hard work with just reward and candy.

The difference in cost is how much it costs to build buildings that can be built with just one click, using existing construction methods without any special skills.

“As I got older, I made demands. Shouldn’t you get at least this much? Even if it’s retroactive to now, at least I should get what I deserve.”

“If I brought up that story…”

“That’s right. I was criticized for being a money-making bitch and became a traitor to my country. He is a person who is trying to siphon off the people’s tax money.”

People cursed at the girl.

When the girl started demanding fair compensation for her labor, they started swearing at her, asking how she could ask for money even though she had worked “worthwhilely.”

“In the end, what is the money you will give me? It was taxes. Otherwise, sell an apartment.”

“At that time… wasn’t it when the prices of apartments suddenly rose by 100 million won? It was clear then…”

“That’s right. From the moment I started asking for my labor costs, they raised the sale price. And the unplay…”

“‘100 million won to Seong Ji-eun for each apartment’.”

In this way, Seong Ji-eun became a witch who was crazy about money.

“The cost was raised and the responsibility was passed on to Seong Ji-eun. I didn’t ask for 100 million. I just told the reporter that if they’re going to lose that amount, they should at least give me one.”

“I thought it was 1 million won, but the reporter mixed it up with 100 million won. Was it a day in the shadow of the sun?”

The construction cost suddenly rose and the unit price jumped by hundreds of billions. People began to look for the cause, and the government revealed the cause in detail.

“For each apartment purchased, 100 million won must be given to Seong Ji-eun. The whole country was saying this. Sung Ji-eun should be criticized.”

“…I think I heard it. Maybe then…”

“When Ms. Baek Seol-hee was in the midst of subduing villains. Similar to the original of King Taejo’s steel post… ‘Glacier Prison’.”

When Baek Seol-hee was busy dealing with villains.

“Have you been hearing things like that…?”

“At that time, the kids were in their second year of middle school, second year of high school, etc. They were on the verge of becoming devils. While you were freezing them out, I was the bitch who was being asked for 100 million per house by the media.”

Seong Ji-eun was being criticized by public opinion.

-Have you not been serving the people until now?

-You can take it to a certain degree, how can you even think of receiving 100 million won each!

-If the sale price goes up, the acquisition tax will also go up! What kind of money is Seong Ji-eun going to give you?

Those who had purchased apartments cheaply by subtracting Seong Ji-eun’s labor costs for over a dozen years were the first to criticize Seong Ji-eun.

“Of course, it wasn’t Seong Ji-eun at the time-”

“Goblin?”

“Let’s call it Seong Ji-eun.”

As with everyone, the name before that was like something that ‘didn’t exist’.

Although they worked as heroes, they eventually became traitors, and their name is no longer the virgin ghost (Jeon) before us.

“From Seong Ji-eun’s position at the time, she must have felt a great sense of betrayal.”

“That’s right. People who bought apartments for 100 million won cheaper thanks to me are now criticizing me? There were things like that, and above all…”

Seong Ji-eun shook his head.

“I reduced labor costs by 100 million won per apartment, but I also didn’t like the housing construction that added 50 million won more to the sales price.”

“What? wait for a sec. No way, that price…”

“It’s nonsense that 100 million won per house goes to Seong Ji-eun. All 50 million won went into housing construction and became performance bonuses for those people.”

“And at the time, housing construction was closely related to sunshade.”

Because of Seong Ji-eun’s abilities, the material and labor costs were not reduced by 100%.

For housing construction and Haeshauneul Construction, the reduced material and labor costs were reduced by about 50%, and the remaining 50% was naturally incorporated into the sales price.

in other words.

“Seong Ji-eun’s share, the actual benefit of 100 million won per house is half for the purchaser, 1/4 for the government, and 1/4 for Sunshade. All Seong Ji-eun received was…”

“Passion, reward, and service. I am proud that I built the framework of this apartment. End.”

Not a single thing fell on Seong Ji-eun’s part.

Since it never existed from the beginning, there was no concept of ‘Seong Ji-eun’s share’.

I knew that such a concept existed from the beginning, but those who had been using Seong Ji-eun for over a dozen years and making profits at low sales prices stopped thinking about paying labor costs to Seong Ji-eun.

“How can a ‘hero’ think of receiving money for serving the people? Once Sung Ji-eun starts, other heroes will begin to demand labor costs for using their abilities one by one.”

“That was the reason why the government decided to reject and eliminate a woman named Seong Ji-eun.”

Specifically, it is not a matter for me to comment on how Seong Ji-eun was murdered.

“Mr. Seolhee. The ice crystals that Seolhee created were supposed to be paid for in exchange for spreading them across the country, right?”

“Uh, yes. I was supposed to only charge about 10% of the reduced fee for air conditioning or something like that…”

“Thanks to me. Thanks to the fact that I was killed with a gun on my head, you can now get paid to use this ability for the benefit of everyone.”

Seong Ji-eun handed the wine glass forward.

“Baek Seol-hee. The full-scale ‘backstory’ of this country hasn’t even begun yet. Even S-class heroes have been killed and disposed of when necessary, but how many more cases like this are there besides me? Huh?”

“…….”

“Can you really handle something like that? The real behind-the-scenes circumstances of this country that you want to protect, which the goblin hasn’t told you about until now, and hasn’t shown you that it cares for you mentally. Can you watch it all?”

“……Of course.”

Baek Seol-hee took the wine glass handed to her by Seong Ji-eun and then put her hand into the wine.

“There are people who came back to change everything even after finding out about it, so I shouldn’t feel like I want to kill them all after hearing that.”

Saaaa.

“You can weed out all those guys.”

Streams of water from inside the wine gather at the tips of Baek Seol-hee’s fingers.

“You should throw away the waste. Like the shade of the sun.”

The components of the wine, including alcohol, remained in the glass, and only pure H2O stuck to Baek Seol-hee’s fingers and froze like crystals.

“I will take care of all your troubles.”
