Magic God Awaken

Wealthy

Mo Shen rested in bed, his gaze fixed on the phone screen as he scoured the internet for information about an antique auction. 

While scanning the posts, he stumbled upon an advertisement for an auction being held the next day, Saturday, at the Incheon Golden Auction House. There was a multitude of items for sale, including a blurry picture of an ancient sword that dates back to 1000 AC. 

"If my calculations are correct, the money should be available tomorrow," he looked at the time and put down his phone.

Mo Shen whispered a spell to himself, "Hex: Sleep." He closed his eyes and felt the magic of the spell wash over him, easing him into slumber.

The soft glow of the sunrise creeps through the window, illuminating the desk with a warm, yellow light. Mo Shen inhales deeply, feeling the comforting embrace of the morning's warmth envelop him.

After breakfast, he changed into his daily clothing. He wore a white jacket that has a print that resembles a Sakura tree on its left side. The white jacket was made of soft, high-quality cotton that felt comfortable against his skin. 

He was planning to visit the Golden Atlas mall and shop for new clothing. He had heard that the Golden Atlas mall was full of the latest and most expensive clothing, so he wanted to find something formal to wear.

Ching Ching.

Mo Shen smiled when he received a notification on his cellphone.

"That old man is fast." He saw his account balance, which has a whopping (10) Billion won.

"I need a car, but I don't have a driver's license yet," he sighed, thinking about the inconvenience of not being able to use his power. However, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided it was better to keep a low profile and concluded it would be wise to hire a driver instead.

The mall was truly extravagant, with high ceilings and large windows that let in ample amounts of light. 

"Sir, what do you want to buy?" A saleswoman walks toward him. The lady has a heart-shaped face and soft-looking eyes. Her look could be described as attractive in a way that will make any young boy feel flattered. Too bad, Mo Shen was already used to seeing Mia, who was a level above this lady.

"I want to buy a suit." Mo Shen replied casually.

"You've come to the right store." The saleswoman's smile was infectious as she eagerly took Mo Shen to the men's section of the store. She was confident that he would find what he was looking for there.

"So what type of suit do you prefer?" The saleswoman asked Mo Shen as she began to look through the racks.

"Don't waste your time selling to that boy," interrupted a man in his 40s, wearing a dark blue suit, with a tall young woman at his side, uncomfortable under his perverted grip on her waist.

Mo Shen ignored the man as if he did not exist at all. Background characters like this couldn't bother him. He's not like other Regressors, who will jump on every opportunity to beat up background characters.

"Hey, young man. Do you think you're so cool for ignoring me?" The middle age man sneered when he saw Mo Shen minding his own business. He wants to escalate the situation, but Mo Shen did not even respond. He was forced to just ignore Mo Shen back.

' See, just ignore them and they will go on their own way,' Mo Shen muttered to himself.

"Sir, do you have a particular clothing type or style that you want to purchase?" The Saleslady saw what happened and continued to entertain him. She doesn't know why, but her woman instinct kicked in when he saw Mo Shen.

Unknowingly, his overall demeanor was changing due to his constant absorption of mana. It was not a change in appearance but rather a change in how women looked at him. In school, he tried to hide this presence, but now he had decided to just let it flow little by little.

"I want a black double-breasted suit." Mo Shen pointed to an item in the VIP section. The cost of the item was visible on the shelf. It was out there to show how classy a person would be if he bought it.

The VIP section was separated by a glass divider with golden edges. Before anyone could enter, they will have to pass through two guards that have very well-built bodies.

This gesture was not missed by the middle age man. He sneered and thought of a way to further humiliate Mo Shen. The reason he's so pissed with him was because of jealousy; he saw her young Girlfriend checking him out.

Who told you to become so fucking handsome? Don't you feel ashamed about flaunting your handsomeness around? The middle age man sneered.

"Hey, kid..."

But before he could even talk.

Mo Shen pulls out his cell phone and shows it to the saleslady. The sales lady was surprised, but immediately snapped out of it. She then bowed her head and signaled Mo Shen to enter the VIP section.

"What ?" Both the man and his girlfriend were shocked to see what happened. He runs towards the VIP section but was stopped by a guard.

"Why did you let that kid go in the VIP section?"

The two guards looked at him and sneered.

"The person you are calling a poor guy is a millionaire. I would not be on his bad side if I were you." One of the guards spoke with a condescending voice.

"I..." The sudden realization made his blood run cold. He is a manager in a bank firm, and the girl with him is a college student to whom he gives a lot of money. Now, he realized that he insulted a goddam millionaire. If the boy is the son of someone powerful, he couldn't begin to imagine what would happen to him.

"Le...let me in; I need to apologize to him." The fat man begged; he wanted to bury his face for being a loudmouth. Who told you to become so arrogant? Do you think you're a big shot already? You just insulted a goddam millionaire, you piece of shit. Those were the words running through his mind.

Inside the VIP room, Mo Shen was further led to a small personal dressing room. The room was filled with multiple items of designer clothing that are not available outside. This kind of scene will surely shock any ordinary high schooler. But for Mo Shen, this treatment was only so-so.

In the future, the clothing industry shifts towards a more unique and exotic look. Designs incorporate materials from monsters, with higher-level monster leather commanding a much higher price than current luxury clothing.

He remembered that his full set of mage armor will cost over (900) billion won by today's standards. The reason for that ridiculous price was its material. It was made from golden silk, which could only be obtained by processing the heart of an Emperor rank golden dragon.

"Sir, this is our most expensive suit." It's made from the finest wool in the world and sewn using golden threads. The jacket buttons are made of white gold and some gem dust. It will suit a handsome man like you" The lady eagerly pitches the suit while not forgetting to make eye contact with Mo Shen.

Her eyes were beaming with admiration and a hint of attraction. Too bad for her; he was not someone who would be easily swayed by such an obvious attempt.

"How much is it?" Mo Shen switched to a more professional tone as he asked the price, hoping the saleswoman would understand that he was not interested in small talk.

"It cost 20 million won," The lady said with a smile, but her tone was a little off due to being rejected.

"Charge it to my account." Mo Shen pulls out his phone and opens the bank app.
