After all, even though she had castles and lived in one of the greatest castles in the world, a building like this she had never seen in her life, besides the things she experienced yesterday.
"We also applied as many solar panels as possible on the roof," said the man.
As they made their way to the huge parking lot, filled with the brand new cars they had bought just the day before, the sight of the luxury vehicles was a testament to their recent shopping spree.
Jinwoo couldn't help but feel a minuscule sense of accomplishment. "Yes, Jinha," he replied, acknowledging his role in making her dream home a reality.
They continued their tour, and Jinwoo proudly showed them the garden with beautiful flowers surrounding a large pond. "I wanted to create a peaceful and serene atmosphere here," he explained, looking at Jinha and Esdeath with a warm smile.
A gleaming pond adorned with beautiful flowers took center stage, and the sitting place nearby provided a serene spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
"This is the pond in the front garden; we have brought in some KOI," said the broker.
"KOI? Is that really necessary?" asked Jinha.
"Yeah, it's nothing," replied Jin carelessly.
The broker then took them inside, where they marveled at every latest technology the house had to offer. In the cinema room, Jinha squealed with delight, "This is like having our private theater, Oppa!"
The first floor has a living room and kitchen, as well as a guest area.
The second and third floors are residential areas. The basement is made up of three levels as well.
The basement's third level is where they installed all the equipment I have requested too.
Esdeath observed the game room with keen interest. "Quite a place for entertainment," she remarked, impressed by the attention to detail in every corner of the house.
Jinha and Esdeath exchanged looks of excitement as they explored the playroom, imagining all the fun they could have together. "This is going to be so much fun!" Jinha exclaimed, her excitement contagious.
The broker chimed in, "Not to mention, the entire house is powered by renewable energy sources. The solar panels and wind wheel ensure a sustainable and eco-friendly living experience." Esdeath nodded in approval, appreciating the consideration for the environment.
Walking through the massive halls, Jinha's eyes lit up with excitement, admiring the elegant design and luxurious touches that perfectly matched Jinwoo's meticulous plans. Esdeath couldn't help but be amazed by the sheer size and opulence of the place, giving compliments on every detail.
They continued exploring, passing room after room, each equipped with the latest technology and gadgets. The cinema room boasted a massive screen and state-of-the-art sound system, while the game room had all their favorite gaming consoles ready for endless entertainment.
In the playroom, they found games, toys, and even a small indoor playground for Jinha. The broker explained that all these facilities were included based on Jinwoo's vision for a home that catered to their every need.
As the tour came to an end, the broker could see the joy in their faces. "I'm glad you all love it," he said, feeling accomplished knowing that he had played a part in bringing their dream home to life.
"Then, I will be on my way. Contact me if there are any problems." In the end, the home broker handed over the keys with a warm smile.
"Thank you for your work," Jin replied as the man made the exit.
"Oppa, I am worried. Haven't you spent a bit too much money?" asked Jinha while looking around.
"It wasn't too much, Jinha. I think I spent about 25 billion won?"
"25 BILLION WON? YOU SPENT THAT MUCH MONEY ON A WHIM?" Jinha asked out loud, truly shocked by the astronomical amount of money.
Even some low-level stars in show business didn't have that much money, and Jin spent it all on a house.
"Jinha, it's okay. I am earning a lot of money right now and have a lot of money," said Jin, reassuring her.
"In my previous hunt, I earned over 5 billion won," he said as he walked towards her.
"Oppa, sniffle," Jinha hugged her brother.
"Wait! Why are you crying? Today is supposed to be a happy day," Jin asked as he saw Jinha crying.
She thanked him for creating such a wonderful place for them. Esdeath, in her own reserved way, expressed her gratitude to Jinwoo for his thoughtfulness and hard work.
With hearts full of excitement and anticipation, they were ready to embrace the new chapter of their lives in this magnificent home, built on Jinwoo's plans, love, and dedication.
After some time later, Jin handed over all the things they bought yesterday: the clothes, jewelry, hills, makeup, and all other womanly things.
So they can settle things in their rooms, but he was sure Esdeath is going to be in his room.
After a while, the girls left him and went to do their own things.
"It's not that I want to be sucked into their gossip. I just have something to do," Jin said as he headed to the corner of the room, clicking a button. A lift opened up.
Once on the underground floor, he looked at the empty place, which only had a few rooms.
Next second his shadow moved, and a few of his shadows emerged from the ground and headed in the opposite direction of Jin.
As he walked towards a room, clicking the button, the room opened up. Looking inside, the room was pretty big and empty; there was nothing beside a huge golden magic circle.
"Let's see…"
"Mm, good. A magic circle made of 99.9% pure gold." Next, he used Absorb, Mana flow, and Mana Manipulation skills together and felt he was able to absorb magic.
"Great, no errors either."
"It's fantastic. Who knew my own designed magic circle would work in such a great way? Who knew all that useless knowledge I have collected all those years would be this useful?"
"If I leak some mana into the electricity from the solar panel…"
The next second, he forced his mana into the circle as it glowed with a pink glow surrounding him, and a wave of mana came out of the ground.
"Now I just have to absorb the mana converted from electricity."
"MANA! THAT DWELLS WITHIN ME!"
Mana stat has permanently increased by 0.10
Mana stat has permanently increased by 0.10
Mana stat has permanently increased by 0.10

As he heard the bunch of notifications from the system, he nodded with a wide smile.
"GOOD. It was an outcome I was hoping for."
"Now let's try the next experiment," Jin said to himself.
The next second, he took out a bunch of corpses of dangerous beasts and placed them into the circle while arranging them in a way that they kept in contact with each other.
"Life Drain."
The next second, mana came out of his body and touched the magic circle. Then, the corpses started to wither away, their clothes and skin dissolving into nothing as their very souls were being drained.

Soon, all the corpses vanished, not even a single speck of dust was left behind, except for the skeleton whose mana or health ran out before the others were drained.
I clenched my fist as I felt my power increase slightly before saying, "Success! As I thought, it's not a game. There is no balance system stopping me from abusing something as long as I do it in the right way."
There are 5 types of systems in the omniverse.
The first is the strongest while the fifth is the weakest.
5. A non-sentient system with just a basic function of detection and something to grow stronger.
4. A non-sentient system with more functions like a small shop.
3. A non-sentient system with something like a lottery or a very good boost in the strength of its user.
2. A sentient/Non-sentient system with a full shop and the ability to solve all the problems if the points or whatever they are called are enough.
1. A total sentient system, probably even a female which will become a waifu. A full shop with nothing missing from all the multiverse and OP lottery. And the user is probably a Xianxia guy.
What I have is most likely a merger of the second and third. Which has a lot of drawbacks but also has its own advantages.
One of them being there is a voice in your head.
Next being it's not applying any rules on you, so I can switch my bloodline, my race, being something entirely else.
Just like now, the system clearly stated that I have to keep in contact with the corpse to use the skill, but just now I didn't, yet the skill worked smoothly.
As I was connecting with them using this circle, and my mana technically fulfilled the conditions without being in contact with them.
Now the question was, what is the limit of these experiments at which I had to stop? If shaping the whole world with my mind is possible, then at which point am I going to get stuck?
And a big advantage of having a system like mine was the ability to break the limits of the human body, at least in this world. If any humans had as much mana as me, they would burst like balloons with too much air.
The system stabilizes my body. That's also a big reason I survived forcefully absorbing a whole Dragon Vein and Ley lines.
It was crazy of me to do that without the system constantly keeping the record of my mana and then forcing my body to strengthen up while also keeping my body intact.
So forcing mana in my soul to strengthen up also kept me alive. And it's safe to presume that the same will happen if I change my bloodline and race.
Even though it was a pure reckless move just for breaking the limit... it would normally harm the body, especially a mortal one... but the system's existence saved me.
Further hearing my body and soul and breaking myself like glass plus being an MC also came with the treatment of every MC to ensure my safety.
Slowly but surely, I have to think like the villain behind the glasses.
I have to find my own way to abuse this system with my own mind, not limiting myself to simple spells, especially when I know I can gain skills of many different classes as long as I perform the right actions.
….
Time Skip.
Several troublesome situations would unfold at this rate, I thought as I looked at the live news about more and more dungeons appearing.
"Which means, I should… time to stop pretending to be a rank E, then. Time to get the rank reassignment test. It is now time to get the rank that matches my current set of abilities."
Esdeath's new identity is already in my possession; yesterday, I made contact with a sketchy guy on the black market, and with a few million, he presented the identifications in just one day. They are not fully legitimate, and if the association did some digging, I am sure they would know it's fake. But even if they find out, they will not care about the 11th S-ranker of their country, even if she is a terrorist or killer of thousands. S-ranks are just that rare, and losing one just because of a simple issue of identity would be insane of them.
While Japan is going to pressure them, and the tension between the two countries is going to increase, I am sure they won't back down, especially when they just got two more S-rankers in their country, as the broker made her identity Japanese due to her looks.
Politics, it's dirty.
My expression became serious. 'With my current level, surely I won't get jerked around by someone else.' As soon as I have to make my move, I clear two dungeons. And of course, I can't forget about the six remaining labyrinths.
Then there are dungeons I have to clear. That was my original aim, to begin with. In order to avoid situations where I was being under the thumb of someone stronger, I continued to act as a rank E, while taking on all the inconvenience that came along with it. However, what about now? I didn't even falter slightly when Baek Yun-Ho, the Guild Master of the White Tiger, stood in front of me. Hell, currently, I have the power to wipe out countries, even the whole continent. Hell, even if the top 8 of my Shadows go all out, they could do the same with Typhon's destructive power, Guardian's overwhelming weapons, Gorr and Zelos with Akame and Susanoo could alone take care of any hunter on this planet due to them being undying. Me with my shadows has become quite overpowered, at least for this planet. I am pretty confident of not cowering no matter who stands in front of me now, be that Baek Yun-Ho or anyone else. I see no reason to hide my powers anymore. As I keep hiding, they are going to give me more and more hindrance. I know I am altering the plot, but now who cares about the plot, as a wise man once said, "fuck the plot," and I am already fucking it.
And Esdeath being in this world, a creation of Typhon, and even me walking the path of the mage, are some of the biggest middle fingers to the plot.
Thump, thump, thump…
When I made up my mind to finally get rid of that irksome rank E tag for good, my heart began beating faster and faster.
"….But, before that…."
There was something I had to confirm first.
I switched on my Hunter-only smartphone. It was his first time powering the device on in a lot of days. It was switched off in the world of Akame Ga Kill, so naturally, there were quite a lot of missed calls and messages waiting for me.
The majority of those numbers he failed to recognize. It was an unfortunate thing for those callers, but well, he didn't have the time to manually check each and every one out.
"If they are in a hurry, I'm sure they'll contact me again."
Thinking coolly like that, I scrolled down the list of contacts and eventually located the number I wanted. I dialed this number.
[Let's kill this lov.~??]
The bright, energetic pop song from Black Pink didn't even get to play for a second longer, before the other side hurriedly answered the call.
