Chapter 45: I, Riser Phenex, have a dream

The sound of a pencil against paper was perceived inside the room.

Riser focused all of his attention on the blueprint before him before he put down his pencil and stretched his hands up, loosening his slightly stiff body. He looked at the scenery outside, and the color of the sky was the same purple as ever.

Still, he had started to get used to this sky, but he would be lying if he didn't miss the blue sky of the day and the night sky of the night on Earth.

Before, he was a devil; he was a human, so he couldn't get rid of some of the common senses and habits he had collected during his previous life. Nevertheless, he was glad that Riser's memory merged into him, or else he would become an idiot in the eyes of others.

However, even if he missed the human world, he didn't really want to go to the human world since he was afraid the system might give him a strange option once again.

His quest to help Sona build a school hadn't been completed. Even if there was no punishment or time limit for this quest, he didn't want something troublesome to fall onto his hands once again, especially when he was so busy.

"Riser-sama, your coffee."

"Thank you, Marion."

Marion, his pawn, leaned forward as she put his cup of coffee on his table.

However, due to her posture, her red colored bra and looming breasts could be seen from the side.

"Riser-sama?"

Marion might seem to have noticed his gaze, but she still smiled kindly in his direction as she tucked her hair behind her ear, making such a feminine gesture.

Was this intentional?

Did this woman try to seduce him?

Yet, such seduction was no way to sway him.

No, even that seduction swayed him, but when he thought about the danger that came when he accepted this seduction, he decided to hold it, especially when tomorrow Sona would go back to the Underworld.

It was only one day.

As an adult, he should have self-restraint.

"Can you bring me some snacks, Marion?"

"I have just baked an orange pie. Is that alright with you?"

"Yes, please."

Marion excused herself before she went to the kitchen to pick up the orange pie.

As she left, Riser decided to busy himself with his work since if he did nothing; he was afraid that he might not be able to control his little Riser.

After Sona left to go to school in the human world, even though he spent his time in the debauchery life with his peerage members, it didn't mean he did nothing.

While he was good-for-nothing, he was still responsible, especially when he still had to finish his hot spring resort.

Frankly, the villain system didn't tell him to finish the resort, as it only told him to do business.

In other words, as long as he got money and worked with someone from his domain, his quest was finished. Even if his resort wasn't completed and was abandoned, it didn't matter as the system only told him to do a business, including a fraud business.

However, he was still a respectable young man, and as a devil, trust was necessary.

Moreover, if he could even deceive his parents' capital fund, then how would the others trust him?

Still, when he received the capital fund previously, he received options from the system.

[You have just received a capital fund from your parents. What will you do?]

[Option 1: Take all the money and run away with all of them. You will receive an "Unlimited Wealth"]

[Option 2: Kill your family members and take all of their wealth. You will receive a "One-Hit-Kill"]

[Option 3: Make a fraud account and add the cost, so you can make more money. You will receive an "Accounting Mastery"]

With all of those options, it was clear which one he chose, right?

Without a doubt, he chose "Option 3" and got the "Accounting Mastery."

By now, if he became a corrupt employee, official, and politician, no one would be able to find a crime in him.

He was extremely well-versed in making economic reports and various other reports that if he made an empty company, millions of people would jump out to give all of their money to him for an investment, even if they knew what he did was a fraud.

Somehow, while he knew that it was wrong, he knew it was a perfect skill for a devil.

Nevertheless, due to this quest, he made a fraudulent account to fool his parents, so they would give him more money. Naturally, he didn't ask much since he didn't need money, especially when his tears could be turned into money.

However, the taste of this hot money was unique.

Still, there wasn't much that he wanted to buy, so he used that money to build this villa.

Naturally, this villa was located on the side of the location where the hot spring resort was found. However, even if it was only on the side, it had the best Feng Shui, and when one stayed in this place, their spirits would be all positive, and their energies would be full all the time.

Everyone who stayed in this place was in a lucky state all the time.

Still, as he overlooked the scenery outside his room, he couldn't help but envision a new city.

While he was speechless at first, the scale of this hot spring resort had become bigger, and somehow, it was planned to be transformed into a resort city, especially when his parents saw the blueprints of the hot spring resort that he had designed.

After gaining "Architecture Mastery," Riser decided to become bold and make this entire place into a new city in their domain. Naturally, by using the knowledge of magic and various information that had been collected by his ancestors and all of his family, he incorporated architecture with magic.

If this city was created, it might not be wrong to say that it would become a giant magic circle.

Then, as long as this city was fully created, this city would be blessed with a "Barrier," "Enemy Radar," and "Counter Magic."

Moreover, Riser also modified the Feng Shui in this city and design, turning it into the city with the greatest luck, especially for the owner.

Lastly, he also added healing, purifying, beautifying, negative ailment nullification, and many other magics that could bring benefit to the body at the source of the hot spring.

Watching all of the impressive things he had brought, his parents and family decided to be bold, wishing to create this new city. After all, due to his "Architecture Mastery and "Feng Shui," the chance for this resort city to be succeeded was high.

Still, he held them and told them that they might as well make a seven-star hotel first instead of a city, which was cheaper than making a city.

The city needed a lot of population, but a hotel was different since there was no doubt they wouldn't lack guests with how amazing this resort would be.

Nevertheless, he had to be amazed at the speeds of Devil's construction team. After all, this villa of his was done in just a few days, and from what it seemed, the luxurious hotel that could be seen from his room should be completed in summer.

Still, everything should be over, and he could relax, but his parents and family didn't let him as they asked him to draw a design for the cities and houses in their families since they knew the combination of architecture and magic was something that they couldn't let pass.

Frankly, all the houses of the Lord and aristocratic families were covered in barriers, and if someone entered without permission, they would be found out. However, this wasn't perfect since as long as someone passed the barrier, they would be free to do anything inside the house.

Moreover, if someone wanted to cover the entire city with a barrier, it would take a lot of energy.

However, those problems didn't exist in his design.

Even if their rules were firm and stable, having more protection on their houses wouldn't hurt, right?

So, it was the reason why he needed to work, which made him want to cry.

'Hmph! I'm going to make a fraud account and corrupt more money.'

If he didn't do so, his heart wouldn't feel satisfied.

Nevertheless, even if his day was hard since he also needed to train his body, his peerage members came to his room every night, playing and training together.

As their master, he was pleased with their willingness and dedication to learn, so on those days; he spent his time teaching them well.

Naturally, Ravel didn't know this.

Or did she know but pretended she didn't know?

However, it didn't matter since his night was happy.

Yet, such a day no longer exists.

Why?

Suddenly, the door of his room was opened with a bang.

"Riser-chan~! Have you finished with your work~?"

"...."

Riser let out a long sigh, thinking that his dream was hard to achieve.
