The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 121 - The Time Skip
...17 July 2073...
Time has gone by so fast since I started working hard in the real world.
Moreover, now I not only studied in the course of entrepreneurs but also had to attend various meetings and discussions about the development of Grandia Apartment.
For starters, after Elin returned from Jakarta a few days ago he has brought in some promising investors.
They have invested tens of billions of Rupiah to the Grandia Group. Instead, they will ask for a small share of the Grandia Group.
After observing some of his paperwork and contract agreements, I felt this was the right decision. Not only in terms of additional funds but also the addition of connections in the business world.
Development continues as well.
And Re:Life? I could only watch the news through my television and mobile phone while resting. To be honest, I felt that a director to replace myself and Elin was indispensable due to a lack of time to even take care of myself.
As for the Dungeon Treasure, invaders continuously came every day.
Although, there were only a few tens of people per Party. The raiding party consists of an Elite Player who has at least done Rebirth 2 times and levels above 150.
At the very least, that was the thing Elin said based on the reports from Oliver and Lucien. Of course, I could not obtain EXP from those dungeon invaders because I did not Log In at the time of the colonization.
Even so, I was still happy that EXP was still obtained by the monsters guarding the Dungeon. Moreover, some invaders would drop their items and valuables.

My education went very well.
Now, I no longer need to rely on Elin and Rina to make tough decisions. In fact, I was able to lead the meeting very well without Elin present.
What about Elin? Now he has extra free time because of me who began to be able to lead the Grandia Group. As a result, he began to follow formal education which also applied Accelerated Thoughts technology.
“I'm sorry, Erik. But I want to help you better in the future. No problem right?” Said Elin with glittering eyes.
“Of course. Just leave the Grandia Group to me. If I'm confused about a problem, then I'll call you or Rina.” Short reply.
Thus, Elin and I began to rarely meet.

The Farna Kingdom formed an army with a gigantic scale to conquer that Mysterious Dungeon.
The formed army reached the figures of over 100,000 regular soldiers, 40,000 more high-level players and 8,000 elite knights.
They were led by the Nobles of the Farna Kingdom and raided the Dungeon with very mature preparations, ranging from the needs of potions, antidotes, food, drinks, tents, cooking utensils and so on.
The raid lasted for 3 days and suffered a total failure. All invaders including the nation were killed in the Dungeon, precisely on the 13th floor.
The players who joined the conquest mission stated that there was a very strong floor boss on the 10th floor.
The battle in the fog zone that killed more than half the troops, as well as the cave zone that split the formation of the troops due to the extremely narrow and dark passageway led to this defeat.
In the end, the Farna Kingdom suffered a significant decline in military power and a great chance of being attacked by neighboring kingdoms, including the Avertian Empire.
Not only that, the economy in the Farna Kingdom began to experience a slump. Some world economists state that the economic downturn will last for more than 10 years in the Farna Kingdom.

...Kulon Progo's...
...Special Region of Yogyakarta...
The construction of the Grandia Apartment is running very smoothly and is predicted to be completed by the end of December 2073.
Why is it so fast? Of course, because the workers who work on the construction of this Apartment are very many and use the most advanced technology in their fields.
Not only that, the development takes place for 24 hours every day with the division of 3 work shifts. Instead, the Grandia Group had to spend a huge amount of money on the development part. But it's not a big deal.
This elite residential design is two twin buildings 15 main floors and 4 underground floors as parking lots. Both buildings were built in the East and West of this housing complex with a total land area of 2 hectares.
The two buildings are separated by a giant park that surrounds this entire residential complex. This park will be a place to play and relax for the residents of the apartment.
While in the South there is a building that is not less large with the number of floors as much as 12. This building is the headquarters for the Grandia Group which will facilitate all employees here. Of course, this building was the first to be built and is now functioning.
On the 11th and 12th floors of the office building there is a strict ban on entry.
Of course because both floors are my new home. Elin now occupies most of the room on the 11th floor. A portion of the 11th floor close to the main elevator will be guarded by security personnel.
The main elevator only reached the 11th floor and to go to the 12th floor had to climb the stairs at the end of this floor. Of course, including passing security officers.
In other words, no one can pass by other than my family and people who have been allowed.
Mega Mall which is also named Grandia was built on an area of 4 hectares with 7 main floors and 3 underground floors.
Not the grandest mall ever. But at least a strong foothold for the Grandia Group.
In the end, the Grandia Group spent over 700 billion Rupiahs with the biggest contributor being myself.
Of course, I still obtained most of the money from within Re:Life through the Tasmith-made Items as well as Drop from the invaders in the Treasure Dungeon.

Today was a little more exciting than usual. How not, a news Re:Life which is quite electrifying the world appeared.
...[.Someone has read an ancient book!]...
That's the news headline that exists. But because I was too busy to study and take care of my own business, I didn't get too dizzy about it. Besides, I'm sure that his identity will be revealed as time goes on.
Not only that, information about the economic downturn in the Farna Kingdom has become common knowledge. Most of the Players living in that Kingdom had now migrated to other Kingdoms.

...27 November 2073...
The excitement of the world of Re:Life again shook the world. But not just because of a trivial matter like someone who had read an ancient book. Except for something much bigger.
...[.A legendary spear swordsman has been born!]...
It was a notification that appeared in the entire presence of the Player at the time they were still inside that virtual world. Without waiting any longer, they all immediately Log Out and try to convey it to the real world.
Of course, countless experts speculated on the legendary spear swordsman.
Large television stations also continuously invite famous MeTubers such as Nico to express his opinion about who exactly the figure is. Even so, they were quite sorry for not being able to invite Angie.
Angie has not reappeared on social networks since then.
All the comments on his channel are constantly asking about his current whereabouts. Not infrequently they pray for him to be cured of any disease that might befall him.
But the main reason most television stations regret it enough without Angie is their broadcast ratings are not too high. In fact, Angie's videos uploaded more than 5 months ago have a larger audience than most TV channels.

The economic downturn in the Farna Kingdom is getting worse. Now there are some divisions between the Farna Royal family and the Nobles.
Some historians and also state administration experts made predictions that a civil war between the two sides was imminent. They also warned the Players who were there to immediately evacuate to another Kingdom.

Today is a very special and happy day for me. How not?
I ended up graduating from all subjects on that deadly course. To be honest, I had headaches many times because of study and work time that was too dense during that time. But I managed to surpass it.
The outcome?
Now there is no more hesitation in me when making a big decision. Of course, all of that was based on the calculations going on inside my head.
What's more, I didn't feel nervous at all when interviewed by several reporters.
Unlike me at the time of the start of the establishment of this Grandia Group. I could only hide behind Elin's back so he could explain everything to the reporters.
If summed up in total, my actual study time has reached 5 years in the virtual education world. A time of learning that would never have been imagined for my former self. Of course, the time that passed in the real world was only for 6 months.
Although Elin? He plans to finish his education which takes time until January 2074.
I have also promised Elin and my parents that once we both graduate from this delayed education, we will get married soon.
After all, Elin and I had lived in the same building and had only been separated by one floor for too long. Where's it? Of course in the head office of the Grandia Group in Kulon Progo.
Both my parents thought we should get married. One reason is to avoid the emergence of scandals that can damage our reputation in the business world.
Maybe I'll talk about it another time. But now….
As soon as I graduated from that course, I obtained something far more valuable than all the treasures and wealth I currently have.
Yes, I gained 9 hours of precious daily time.
By this….
I can go back to playing Re:Life for quite a while every day.
