Nam Sung - Moonlight Sculptor Volume 16

“Today we are going to learn how to use 3 linear equations. Do any of the students know?”

“Me.”

“Do any students know the root equation?”

“Me.”

“How about the Pythagoras theorem…”

“Me.”

Middle school, high school, and college mathematics and science were too easy for him.

“When is the next lesson, teacher?”

He was the fellow most disliked by the other students in his class! Even though he suffered group bullying, Yoo Byung-jun did not care.

“Idiots. Jerks who can't do anything if they don't group up.”

From the time he attended a domestic school, Yoo Byung-jun had already become an academic celebrity.

No matter what mathematical formula or a law of physics it was, he conceived the answer the moment he saw it. He created more advanced new theories and defined laws for them that only he knew. Since high school, he swept through various competitions and even took first in an international mathematical contest. At university, physics, chemistry, bioengineering, mathematics… He was on the cover of a science magazine whenever he published a thesis.

The genius of the century.

Called the Devilish Brain, a world prominent institute tried to recruit him by offering him an astronomical salary.

His life had only known success after success. Then one day, he felt frustration for the first time.

He met his first love.

He was always feeling apologetic towards her whenever they went on date.

“Sorry I can't buy something tasty every time. Let's go to a restaurant when I receive prize money.”

“It's all right, oppa.”

She who smiled brightly for him.

The amount of prize money Yoo Byung-jun won was never small. However, he could only live scantily in order to buy necessary equipment for his research. While thinking ahead of others and trying to commence research immediately, money could only leak out.

He didn't want to work under somebody else, and for Yoo Byung-jun, who'd had much interest in basic science, it was an aspect that he couldn't help but endure.

“I'll see you next week. No, the week after next.”

“Are you busy?”

“Yeah. Materials I'm experimenting on are coming in tomorrow.”

“Don't you know what day tomorrow is? It's my birthday. Is your experiment that important, oppa?”

“Of course the experiment is important. I'll throw a birthday party for you the week after next. Bear with me until then.”

He avoided his girlfriend when writing theses or doing experiments. Even when occasionally meeting his girlfriend, he showed up with a shaggy head and in grubby attire since he'd made a little time.

“Did you wait long?”

Yoo Byung-jun always arrived late for their appointment.

Eventually, his nice and thoughtful girlfriend left him.

“I want to meet a man who really values… and loves me.”

His girlfriend left him for the man who had comforted her in Yoo Byung-jun's place whenever he was gone.

Even then, Yoo Byung-jun wasn't greatly discouraged.

“Dating? I can go about it slowly after doing all my research.”

The ambitious young scientist even thought of love as extravagant.

“After just a few awards and the results of my thesis come out, women will be nothing…”

Yoo Byung-jun achieved his goals. However, she didn't come back.

Although he could meet other women, they weren't as pure as her and he could not love them as deeply.

In such a fashion, Yoo Byung-jun lost the one love of his life. One comes to know the true value of what one has lost.

Too late, he tried to find her, but she was married, even had a child, and was living happily.

“Love? That is nothing. Let's succeed. Let's try to succeed properly in this world.”

Yoo Byung-jun entered a physics research lab and announced the outstanding results of his research. He continued accumulating money and glory.

In the physics lab, he was critically betrayed by someone he trusted, and his research results were even stolen. As he grew older, he began to see the world as only unreasonable.

A dirty dark side that grew as he gathered money and government authority!

“Lies, tricks, and politics. There's nothing a mere scientist can do.”

Even after rising to the position of research lab director, he had to live while bowing at the waist to politicians. If he developed a commercially valuable technology and presented it to a business, the business reaped the majority of the sweet fruits of his labor.

Yoo Byung-jun's research lab was developing promising technologies one after another, but he could not erase the feeling of helplessness and despondency.

“An award? I've won many since childhood. Fame means nothing to me.”

Suffering from vicious loneliness, he wanted to truly succeed.

He even gave up on love to pour all his strength into research.

“A technology that can change the world, I'll develop a truly innovative technology. A technology without limitations or restrictions.”

Yoo Byung-jun left his position as research lab director and returned to being a freelancer. Initially, he thought that 3, 4 years would be more than enough. However, as new challenges continued to appear, the time he spent researching alone grew longer. Even after countless white days without sleep, he continued his research because he could not give up.

The new world made at the end of a whole 40 years of research— Royal Road was born like that. Unopposed, virtual reality was attracting the world's money. Unicorn was growing as an unprecedented enterprise.

Not only that. From the last 10 plus years, Yoo Byung-jun used the enormous power of his money to back national politicians. Granted, Unicorn was not a business that required help from politicians.

The politicians built up debt while receiving money from the unknown source. Several political groups were in fact being managed through Yoo Byung-jun's representatives.

Managing army support and weapons supply stocks were among the Goddess Versaille's important functions.

Goddess Versailles was now expanding her boundaries by investing Unicorn's enormous income in places all over the world. Unicorn grew so much that no matter the speculative capital, its political force could not be carelessly threatened.

By combining the immense underground funds and the secret political authority that Goddess Versailles managed, there was really nothing they couldn't do.

“Hehehe.”

Yoo Byung-jun smiled with satisfaction since everything was going as planned. The dream he had conceived 40 years ago was about to come true.

“In this unreasonable world… I will set my own law.”

A new world was created based on virtual reality.

People would be excited and enthralled by that world, because they could escape the dreary city and enjoy rest, adventure, and challenges.

“Hehe. And the most outstanding guy will appear.”

An Emperor with unapproachable dignity would appear in the world Yoo Byung-jun had created.

“He will have the right to inherit everything I have prepared.”

The things he had prepared for that time.

Yoo Byung-jun asked Versailles, “How goes the development of the combat androids?”

[- 123,020 have been completed.]

Androids of small and medium size. Faster than planes and installed with weapons, they were flexible. Necessities in modern warfare, the androids were known to still only belong to two powers, the United States and Russia.

“The financial side?”

[26 commercial banks have been acquired. If needed, 106 international banks can be paralyzed.]

The deletion of client data was a granted, and preparations were even made for the collapse of payment systems. Even a great depression could be incited. However, what Yoo Byung-jun had prepared did not end there. What he had developed the most attentively was bio-engineering.
