Overgeared

A month had passed since Chiyou’s death.

“From now on, you are the leader of this nation.”

Grid ceded the throne to Lord. There was no opposition.

Grid was the god who ruled the world. Everyone around him understood that there was no need for him to cling to the mere status of emperor.

Above all, Lord was the ideal emperor. The young prince had gone on adventures to follow in his father’s footsteps. He grew up watching and interacting with all kinds of different humans. He knew how to distinguish between good and evil, wisdom and ignorance, and evil and wickedness.

Above all, he sympathized with the pain others felt.

“I’ll come visit often.”

As emperor, Lord toured the empire every day. He used the warp gates installed in each city and town as well as his abilities as a Transcendent quite a lot. Thanks to this, he was able to examine how the people of the empire lived and could devise and implement the necessary policies.

The lives of the empire’s subjects improved by the day. It reached a point where Lauel could no longer find a reason to remain prime minister.

“I’ve been very good at racking in skilled people for twenty-three years. Prince Lord... Well, an emperor has his own capabilities, but he must also have a lot of skilled people next to him. I am going to retire for now.”

Lauel decided to focus on reality.

“First of all, I will put pressure on the National Assembly and the president’s office. I will threaten that the country will be in trouble if they don’t allow your polygamy.”

Grid replied, “Y-Yes... But I don’t want polygamy. I just want to marry Yura and Jishuka.”

“Isn’t that the same thing? Whatever, don’t worry. I will make all the wedding plans.”

“You’re wrong. And I will make all the wedding plans. Yura and Jishuka seem to want to choose their own wedding venues and honeymoon locations.”

“Um, I understand.”

Lauel was phenomenal at using his skills in reality. Firstly, he quickly subdued the South Korean government. It was simple. The amount of taxes that Grid paid in one year was more than any large company.

Secondly, there were over ten Overgeared members with Korean nationality such as Yura, Jishuka, Lauel, Peak Sword, and Toon. The amount of taxes they paid was astronomical. They were diplomatically strong, so there was no way the government would allow them to leave South Korea.

South Korea had recorded the lowest birth rate in the world for more than a century. Grid’s promise to have two wives and many children was almost patriotic.

“If Shin Youngwoo immigrates, I will leave South Korea too. God Grid is the symbol of South Korea!”

Peak Sword also helped a lot. He stood by Lauel and pressured the government the whole time. As the president of the Korean Patriotic Association, which was known for being an extreme right wing party, the announcement that he would leave South Korea made the government realize the seriousness of the situation, so they quickly gave in.

Lauel quickly found Agnus. “It feels very inspiring to see you use your skills in real life.”

“...Is that your only reaction? You aren’t even surprised,” Agnus wondered.

“The world is always changing. It’s not a big deal. By the way, when using skills, do you also have concepts like level and stats? I’m particularly curious about the HP part.”

Lauel endlessly barraged Agnus with questions the whole night. Agnus had to suffer through all of them.
