The governor frowned at Logan's statement. "Is that a threat?""It's a warning," Logan replied. "I honestly don't want to destroy you but I will if you become an obstacle to my goal."The governor flared. "You do realize you're surrounded with guns. One word from me and you'll be gone like smoke."Logan decided to play his trump card. "Have you ever heard about the Dragon army?The governor frowned. "Who wouldn't know about the Dragon army? Where are you going with this?""The Dragon army destroyed the Kent family's island after they offended their New Dragon Commander. The Dragon Army are considered the number one most powerful forces on earth. They're literally superhuman.""You don't have to remind me," the governor snapped. "I'm well aware the Dragon army are a formidable force."Logan leaned forward, his eyes narrowed. "What if I told you, I'm the Dragon Commander? Would you believe me?""Impossible!" Duke yelled. "There's no way a filth like you can be the dragon commander."Log
The Hunchback Son-in-law The Elite council
[Congratulations, Quest Completed][You have successfully obtained a gold badge][Go to Inventory for your reward]Logan sat down on the stairs outside the governor's building. "Open Inventory," Logan commanded. A screen appeared displaying his reward.[A Gold badge][A Gold VIP Card][The revival Stone]Logan stared at his reward. The Revival stone. "What do I need a revival Stone for?"[The revival Stone: After user crushes the stone, he is given to ability to revive himself and others from death]"Is the system suggesting I might die?" Logan said, his expression sober. "I haven't given it much thoughts but I guess at some point in my quest for the top, I might encounter people who won't hesitate to kill me."Logan remembered the governors warning and sighed. "I guess I have no choice."Logan summoned the revival Stone to appear in his hand. The stone appeared. It was glowing a blue soft light with a strange ancient inscription on it. "The instructions is crush it," Logan read f

Julius jaws hung open after Marcus slapped Logan. "You shouldn't have done that," he said quietly. "Silence!" Marcus barked at Julius."I'll say this just once," Logan said, raising his head to stare at Marcus. "I don't like people hitting me in the face."Julius scoffed. "Do you think I care? I'll hit you as many times as I want. If you've got a problem with that, then you're better off dead."The hall was suddenly surrounded by men in black suits, each yielding a weapon. Logan saw that he was trapped. There was no way out for him anymore. Despite his circumstances, he kept a cool demeanor. "Good," Julius said. "You've learnt to shut your mouth up, but I'm not done with you yet. You're facing the Elite council. Before we decide what to do with you, let's take a deep dive to why you wanted a gold badge."Logan answered truthfully. "I'm going to rise to the top of the Golden city and conquer it. My goal is to beat the big boss."The room suddenly fell silent after Logan's bold dec
The Hunchback Son-in-law The Challenge
Logan wasn't expecting the revival Stone to work. He felt glad he could manage to return back to the living after being filled with lead. There wasn't a single scratch on his skin. This was all too amazing. Logan had never felt such rush of adrenaline before. "I warned you, Marcus. You can't kill me," he said, his eyes wide with excitement. Marcus stepped back, his hands trembling. "Wha... What are you?"Logan returned his hands to his pocket, his face stern. "That don't matter. At least now you know that you can't kill me."Marcus shouted at his men. "What are you waiting for? Reload your guns and kill this monster.'As Marcus men proceeded to reload their guns, Logan chilling voice stopped them."What do you think you're doing?" He called out, glaring at them out of the corner of his eyes. "Do you have a death wish?"The men froze. They were terrified of Logan's cold gaze and his threat. They couldn't even move a muscle. Logan frowned. "Now, nobody leaves. Anyone within this

Logan paused, his fork an inch away from his mouth. Mi-young stared at Logan for the longest time as if she had just met the president. "Logan," she called out. "What are you doing here?"Logan slowly dropped his fork down. "Mi-young? How did you know I was here?""No fair, I asked you first," Mi-young said. "I'm surprised to find you in the Golden city. Do you know grandfather's searching all over for you?"Logan never expected to run into any of the Taeyang family here in the Golden city. However, it was inevitable that he would encounter Mi-young. There was no escaping it. "I'll just leave you two alone," Julius stood up and shook Logan's hand. "I'll keep in touch with you, Logan."Logan returned an uneasy smile to him as Julius quietly left. Mi-young took Julius seat, her face tensed. "Logan, answer me.""I'm here on a mission," Logan answered. "The big boss. I'm going to overthrow him and take over this city as the new big boss."Mi-young stared at Logan as if he had gone cr
The Hunchback Son-in-law The Car dealer
[Welcome to the Door of abundance][Here the rules are simple][Defeat the car dealer]Logan read the instructions displayed on the screen carefully. "That's it?" He asked himself. "Who's this car dealer and how do I beat him?"Logan was in the middle of an unknown city. People walked passed him on the sidewalks without giving him so much as a glance. Logan was very confused. How does the system intend him to beat some stranger if he can't see who it was?Just then, he heard a man calling out on people to buy some used cars. This man was fat with a bulging stomach and a sinister look in his eyes. Apparently, nobody wants to buy what he was selling or no one seemed interested. Logan decided to approach him. "Hey, there handsome," the merchant called out to Logan as he saw him approaching. "May I interest you in some cars?"Logan stared heavenwards to the sky. There was no sun, nor sky. Just foggy clouds.Logan had an idea this was a simulation created by the system. In other w

Logan felt satisfied. At least he had bargained at a fair price, leaving him some money to spare from his $8,000 budget. He extended his hand. "You've got yourself a deal, Mister G."Mister G reluctantly shook his hand. "In all my years, you're the most strangest customer I've ever had."Logan smirked. "It's a pleasure doing business with you, Mister G."After signing the necessary documents and payment, Logan drove out of the underground lot into the deserted roads. [Congratulations! You have defeated the car dealer and secured a car. You have unlocked the second key to the Door of Valor]Logan looked around, he was surprised to see there were no more people walking around the sidewalks. Suddenly, a wide gate appeared in the middle of the road. Logan stepped out of the car and approached the gate. As soon as he drew nearer to the gate, a key appeared in his hand. "This must be the door of Valor," Logan said thoughtfully. "Let's see what's inside."Logan unlocked the gate and sw

Just wedded
Five months after, the Taeyang's wedding was finally hosted. Billionaires, celebrities, and influential figures from across the globe filled the pews. Logan stood at the pulpit, he was dressed in an expensive tailored suit as he waited for his brides. The grand doors of the church slowly swung open and the bride's started coming in. Ava, Yuna, Mi-young, Isabel, and Grace were all dressed in the finest wedding gown money could buy. Logan never thought they were this beautiful. They look like fallen angels. Kim Taeyang escorted them as they walked down the aisle together. He wore a proud look on his face. Kim Taeyang handed his granddaughters to Logan then returned back to his seat. The priest commenced the ceremony. "Dear beloved, we've all come today to witness the union of Logan and the Taeyang sisters in holy matrimony."The priest went further to start the vow taking. The Taeyang sisters formed a circle each holding each others hand. Logan took Ava's hand then Yuna's, com

Proposal
Logan knelt on both knees as he faced the Taeyang sisters. Ava, Yuna, Mi-young, Isabel and Grace surrounded him. "I know you probably hate me by now," Logan said. "I owe each and everyone of you an apology. I'm deeply sorry for abandoning you for six months. It was never my intention to stay away that long. I had to deal with things that I couldn't involve you in. That's why I didn't come back."Silence. The Taeyang sisters stared at him. Logan thought they would lash at him just like Grace did with him. But surprisingly, Ava stepped forward. "Logan, stand up."When Logan stood up and lifted his eyes to meet hers, he stiffened. There were tears in Ava's eyes. "Logan, you have no idea how much I've missed you. I thought you'd never come back. I'm happy you came."Isabel approached him. She was all smiles. "I also forgive you, Logan. We all do. It's been a messy six months, but we understood you had thing's you wanted to sort out by yourself."Logan looked down at her swollen belly

Promise
"I am Logan, the Taeyang sisters boyfriend," Logan declared. Tom Hankins face suddenly changed into a mask of hate. "So, you're the bastard Yuna keeps yapping about, huh?""I'm glad you've heard of me," Logan replied. "That makes things easier for both of us.""No it doesn't," Tom snapped. "You're all the Taeyang sisters talk about. I've tried repeatedly to court them but they're so obsessed with you it's sickening."Logan rubbed the back of his head, laughing embarrassingly. "Sorry you had to go through all that. I don't know how I did it either.""Don't feel sorry for me," Tom brawled. "The Taeyang family are facing a serious financial crises after you abandoned them. What are you going to do about it, boy?"Logan took a deep breath, then he spoke, "I've offered to buy Kim Taeyang's shares. I'll settle the company's debt and boost its stocks."Tom's laughter echoed in the room. "Wait a minute, You? This must be a sitcom. Where the hell are you going to get that kind of money, Loga

Tom Hankins
Taeyang groups was at the edge of collapsing. Tom Hankins, a wealthy business tycoon offered to buy Kim Taeyang's shares. With that comes a second price. He wants to marry three of the Taeyang sisters, Mi-young, Yuna and Grace. "Of course I declined," Kim Taeyang said as their cars pulled up outside Taeyang groups. "But Tom Hankins isn't the type of man to give up that easily. When he wants something he gets it."Logan and grace stepped out of the car and followed Kim Taeyang into the lobby. "He must think you're very desperate," Logan commented. "That's why he's piling up the pressure on you to sell since you're the major shareholder.""Left for me, I wouldn't sell," Kim Taeyang said. "But what about our shareholders, our investors and our clients? We need to think about what they want. Selling off my shares might just save the company but if I do that, I'll also be selling off my granddaughters."Logan didn't say anything as they approached the receptionist counter. The recepti

Debts
Logan felt very emotional. He had expected Kim Taeyang to hate him, but instead, Kim Taeyang forgave him and even welcomed him back. "Mr Kim," Logan's face hardened. "I promise you this, I'll fix this whole mess if it's the last thing I do."Kim Taeyang raised an eyebrow. "I know you're very incredible, Logan, but can you really?"Just as Logan was about to answer, the door opened and Grace stepped inside. She stiffened when she saw Logan. Then her eyes widened as she glanced at her grandfather and saw how well he was."I don't believe it," she rushed over to her grandfather and embraced him. "Grandfather, you've recovered. I thought I'd never see you again. Thank goodness you're still alive."Logan watched them as Kim Taeyang returned her bug with a reassuring kiss on her forehead. "It's okay, my pretty," he said. "I'm fine now. It's all thanks to Logan. He healed me."Grace broke her hug then casted her gaze at Logan. She wasn't smiling. Her countenance was dark. "I'm sorry, g

Divine healing
The gate opened in the streets of Seoul as Logan stepped out of the portal. "It's so good to be back," Logan said, breathing in the air. Then he frowned. "Something feels off. The air smells a bit crisp."Logan navigated his way through the busy side walk. "I hope I wasn't gone too long?"Suddenly, he stopped walking as he stood before a newspaper vendor. Something caught his eyes. It was the headline on the front page. Written in bold letters, Logan read out loud. "Taeyang family faces financial crises as Kim Taeyang battles illness?"Logan grabbed a copy and quickly skimmed through the article, his heart pounding. From Logan's finding, it was revealed that Kim Taeyang suddenly fell ill. Being the family's patriarch, his deteriorating health led to instability within the family businesses. The Taeyang conglomerate future now hangs in the balance as the Taeyang sisters and their few investors struggled to keep the company afloat. Logan's hands were shaking as he realized all the

Logan glanced at Thandolwethu out of the corner of his eyes. "You seriously want to do this?" He asked. Thandolwethu grunted. "Try me. I'm not playing around."Logan chuckled softly. "If you think you're going to win against me by blowing yourself up, then you're in for a surprise because I can't die."Thandolwethu scoffed. "As if.""I'll make you an offer," Logan said. "I'll let you live if you take me to the Mona Lisa. I promise not to hurt you.""You think I'll easily betray my mistress?" Thandolwethu said angrily. "For your information, I've sworn my loyalty to the Mona Lisa. You can't change my mind."Logan started walking towards the stairs. Thandolwethu stiffened in shock. "Why are you moving? I'll pull the strings if you take another step."Logan kept walking. It was as if he had gone deaf all of a sudden. Sweat beads formed on Thandolwethu's face as she cried out. "You bastard! Don't you fear death?"Logan was now ascending up the stairs. He glanced at her out of the corn

The final battle
Andrei pointed his finger at Logan. "By orders of the Mona Lisa, we are tasked to kill you. If you can make it out of the battle field alive, then take the stairs where Thandolwethu stands."Logan stared at Thandolwethu. He could tell she was skillful but that was all there is to her. There was nothing special about her. "Is that it?" Logan asked looking very confident. Andrei gritted his teeth. "You sound cocky but let me give you a warning. Don't underestimate Thandolwethu. She may look frail but she's a blood lusted killer."Logan shrugged. "I'll be the judge of that.""The stairs lead to the elevator. If by any chance, you survived Thandolwethu and killed her, you can take the elevator and head for room 204. The Mona Lisa would be waiting for you," Andrei said. Logan couldn't believe it. They were putting everything on the plate for him. All he had to do was defeat Andrei and Thandolwethu and the Mona Lisa was his. Just like that. Logan had an idea the Mona Lisa was settin
