This is RED, the editor. Just letting you know that neither I nor HunterW the TL wanted this to go premium. I think you guys did that. We had a decent reader base and the site noticed it, and THEY flipped the switch, seeing it was 'popular', i.e. you guys liked it. There's no incentive for us to make this switch.
As for the price, it's totally based on word count, as I understand it. The longer the page it, the more stones it costs.
And just so you know... I can't read the posted chapters without paying, either. I can read the comments, but that's it.
Sorry, folks. :frowning:

”Open Stat Menu!” Finding four low-grade dungeons and one mid-grade dungeon should have netted me 27 points to each of my Stats. It was a total of 135 Stat points! ”That's a bonus thirteen and a half levels!”

My total stats were high enough that there wasn't much of a noticeable difference from the bonus 135 points.
”It's still worth it. I'm sure once I find enough dungeons, I can accrue more stat points than the amount I got from the Unrivaled skill.” The Unrivaled skill granted a total of 5,000 stat points. If I were to farm another 5,000 stat points from dungeon seeking alone…
”Hmm. I shouldn't try to calculate it. I'll just be optimistic that one day it'll happen.” I raised my arms over my shoulders and stretched.
”I found all of South Korea's dungeons, so that ends chapter one! Chapter two will start with Japan! But before that, I should go meet with Chairman Song Daechul.”
I found the nearest intercity bus terminal and took a bus back to Seoul. I decided to take a break for completing chapter one of my master plan.
-----------------------
The next morning...
”I should give her a call first. She said it was ok to call her any time.” After I washed up, I opened my wardrobe. I still had another five days left, but I didn't want to put it off any longer.
I've already opened up all of Korea's dungeons, and I had turned my sights to Japan. I didn't exactly have good feelings towards Japan, so I was planning on emptying out its dungeons.
”Hmm…” The inside of my wardrobe was pretty miserable.
I had mostly spent my nights at the factory, so all I had were work clothes. During the year after my return, everything I did was in preparation for the day Earth changed, and I never really thought about clothes. During that whole year, I never took it easy.
”Still, it's Korea's largest conglomerate and ranked in the top fifteen in the whole world…I shouldn't go meet the chairman in just jeans and a shirt, right?” I wasn't really the type to care about formal things, or the type to go through empty formalities and ostentation. I never really cared for fashion, either, but I knew there was a time and place for everything.
I always believed that if I were ever invited to a formal event, I had to dress the part. Even on TV and in books, all those main characters that believed that their way was the only way didn't come off as cool or anything. I always grimaced at those characters.
”The problem here is that I've never actually been formally invited to anything.” I wasn't invited to stay at the hotel in Jeju; I paid for my own room and didn't care about what I was wearing or how I looked.
”I know! I'll get the most expensive suit tailored. I'll get one so expensive that no one can say anything bad about me.” I still had about 90 million won left in my inventory.
”I'll go to a brand name shopping mall!” I quickly got ready and left for the nearest and largest Future shopping mall.
--------------------------
”This… has to be my first time in a shopping mall.” Even after the world changed, this Future shopping mall was still full of people.
”It's pretty nice here.” It was nice seeing all these people going about their ways, chattering and shopping.
”We only have three months left.” Even the news stopped reporting about the day they coined The Great Event, even though there wasn't much time left.
The adaptability of humans was pretty outstanding for people to just accept it already.
”It's not like I have any right to say anything. I did the same back then.” Soon, the news would be talking about the changes. Humans could no longer produce sperm and eggs, and devas were beginning to appear all around the world and didn't really die. That would be the only thing on TV all day, every day.
Once people find out about the stat and skill menu, chaos would slowly ensue. And once monsters started appearing out of nowhere…
”That'll be the end.” I shivered as I remembered that day.
I entered the department store, weaving in and out of the crowd.
”Hmm. The men's clothing store is on the fourth floor.” I rode the escalators to the fourth floor.
The entire fourth floor exuded elegance that I had never experienced in any of the stores I had ever been to. My past self would have been intimidated by it all. But right now, I didn't feel much. I wasn't intimidated at all.
I slowly walked around the floor, taking in the sights.
It might have had to do with my current sad state of my clothes, but there wasn't a single employee that greeted me as I passed by their stores. Well, that just means I can take my time looking around.
As I walked around, a suit in one of the stores caught my attention.
Brionir!
It looked like something the protagonist of a mystery movie wore. I walked closer to the store and checked the price tag.
9,880,000 won!
