nes are also aiming for.
“So without further ado, let me reveal the highlight of today’s auction and the grand finale!”
Hearing the host’s voice, I raised my head and stared at the item placed on the podium.
“…Here it is, the Hero’s Armor!”
At those words, a commotion erupted around me.
“It is the legendary armor that is said to have been worn by the Star Hero ‘Hanbyeol Raon Starlight,’ who defeated the Demon King who almost destroyed the world 1000 years ago! It is an honor to present this to you!”
“……..!”
After the host finished the explanation in an excited tone, Isolet looked at me with a perplexed expression on her face.
“I-Is that real…”
“…It’s none of my business.
Don’t ask me about it.”
“Still…”
“Well, I don’t know, all right?”
When I replied in an irritated tone, she fell silent and started staring at the glistening Hero’s Armament with anxious eyes.
‘…It’s quite plausible for it to be a replica.’
However, as I was well aware of the fact that Hero’s Armor was carefully kept sealed in a secret room in the basement of the Duke’s mansion, I just indifferently started assessing the perfection of the imitation.
‘…It doesn’t shine until it awakens.
The pattern on the decorative part of the wrist is completely different, and there isn’t a single scratch on it.
What, is that the limit of imitation?’

While I was playing around scrutinizing for flaws, the host chuckled and shouted.
“50,000 gold! We received a bid of 50,000 gold! Those who would like to offer a higher price… Oh, 55,000 gold! 55,000 gold… Oh my gosh! We got 75,000 gold!”
People, who were dazzled by the words “Hero’s Armor,” started rushing in.
My inclination was to tell them it was a fake, but I decided to let it go since the majority of them were corrupt people and won’t believe me unless I reveal my identity.
“…150,000! We got 150,000 gold! Although the auction house hasn’t been established for long, we already received our all-time high price!”
The madness that continued for such a long time only subsided after the all-time high price came out.
“3…2…1…Successful bid! Sold! The Hero’s Armor is sold for 150,000 gold!!”
Soon after, the Hero’s armor was sold for 150,000 gold, it was wrapped in silk and handed over to the buyer who received envious gaze from the surrounding people.
‘…Tsk, Tsk, pushover of a bastard.’
Of course, I glanced at the man with a pitiful gaze and waited for the upcoming event.
“…Yes! Well then, that concludes the auction for today…Um?”
Meanwhile, the host, who was about to end the auction with a bright smile on his face, probably due to the fact that he had made the highest profit of all time, frowned when suddenly a staff member approached him and started whispering something in his ear.
“Hmm, everyone! I apologize! I’m afraid there was an item missing from the items put up for auction! We’re truly sorry for this disruption to the auction proceedings!”
“”………””
“And now, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the ‘Unknown Stone’! It’s a mysterious one whose results of appraisal shows it has unknown power within it!”
The host exclaimed with an enthusiastic expression, but in the end, the previously sold item was the Hero’s Armor, which broke the record of highest price ever, so the people who lost their earlier excitement did not even glance at that hideous stone.
“Uh… um… Well, let’s start with 10 gold!”
The host, who had been assessing people’s reaction for a while, offered the ‘Unknown Stone’ at a cheap price without a hint of regret, probably because he had already made a huge profit.
‘…Great, it’s starting now.’
That ‘Unknown Stone’, which people didn’t even pay attention to, is the ⟬Stone of Domination⟭, is an item I must have.
I need to get my hands on that one by all means.

“Yes, we received a bid of 15 gold!”
As I carefully lifted the panel, glancing at the faces of the Main Heroines, the host looked at me with surprise and exclaimed.
“…Of course, no one would offer more than that, right? Then, let’s count! 3…2…”
Eventually, as the host started counting, I gulped and prayed in my heart that the Main Heroines were dozing off, tired of this long-running auction…
“1-100 gold! 100 gold!”
As soon as the Princess intervened in the bid while holding the panel, I sighed with my head down.
“Will there by any other offer more than a hundred gold? Then… the count, wait a minute! H-Here comes a thousand gold!”
Eventually, even the Saintess started bidding while holding the panel.
In the meantime, I silently wrote a thousand and one hundred gold on the panel with my head down and began the bidding war.
.
.
.
.
.
“Hey, 10,000 gold!! Received a bid of 10,000 gold!!”
The nerve war that went on for a long time was coming to its end when I started getting anxious and raised the price all the way up.
“10,500 gold! Ah, 10,511 gold! 10,512 gold!”
I lifted the panel once more with a smile of satisfaction as the Saintess and the Princess were sweating profusely while writing down the amount of money to be raised.
‘…Never ignore a Duke’s financial power.’
“Ah! a bid of 15,000 gold!”
“”……..!””
Both the Princess and the Saintess flinched at those words.
They momentarily glared at me, then started writing the prices on the panel with their trembling hands…
“…From now on, the price will be incremented at a rate of 100 gold!”
Hearing the verdict of the host, they dropped the panel helplessly and lowered their heads.
“Is there anyone who would like to offer more? If not, I’ll start counting! 3…2…”
‘…By the way, do they actually have the money they wrote down? If yes, where did they even get it?’
I had a hunch that I won, and started brainstorming where those girls got their money from, but…
“30,000!! Bid of 30,000 gold!!!”
“……!”
Soon after, suddenly someone offered a price twice than me.
I stared at that person in astonishment.
“…..Hmm.”
‘…Isn’t he the eccentric collector who earlier bought the Hero’s Armor for 150,000 gold?’
I closed my eyes and lifted the panel in a cold sweat.
“40,000 gold! 40,000 gold bid!!”
“……..”
I used my winning hand since I didn’t have much gold left for bidding anymore.
Fortunately, it worked, as I put my panel down and pondered.
‘…That guy spent 150,000 gold in the fierce bid war earlier, so he’s definitely strapped on money.
If here he bids less than 50,000 gold… I’ve got a good chance.’
“Yes! 45,000 gold!”
‘…Good.’
I sneaked a peek at the eccentric collector before raising the price again.
I found him silently staring at me, we momentarily locked eyes as I soon lifted the panel.
“…46,000 gold! Oh, 47,000 gold! 48,000 thousand gold!”
After many close calls, both of us eventually reached the end of our long war.
“49,949 gold! Judging from the figure written down to the unit’s digit, it seems they have bid all the money they possessed!”
Having presented all the money I had in my hand, I grinned and looked at the eccentric collector.
“………”
He quietly stooped his head with his arms crossed.
“All right, it was close, but… I won.”
“I’m counting! 3…2…1…”
I finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in the chair…

“…Hmph.”
“…..!!!”
However, I was soon astounded when he snorted and lifted the panel at the last moment
“50,050 gold! Bid of 50,050 gold! In the end, it crossed the 50,000 mark!!”
“…Newbie.”
He looked at me and threw a sarcastic remark in a deep voice, as I started regretting what had happened earlier.
‘…Damn, if I had known it would turn out like this, I would have chosen 150 gold as a reward.’
If only I had the 150 gold, which appeared as the second item on the reward list for clearing the sudden quest, I could have put an end to this bidding war.
At this rate, the eccentric collector will take the ⟬Stone of Domination⟭.
“I’m counting! 3…2…1…”
‘This will put a damper on my plans…’
I was supposed to get out of the auction house as soon as I got on my hands on the ⟬Stone of Domination⟭.
However, I felt frustrated by this unexpected situation and grabbed my head.
“50,150 gold! Bid of 50,150 gold! Ridiculous! I never expected it would be this popular.”
Suddenly, Isolet, who was quietly watching our competition besides me, wrote 50,150 gold on the panel and lifted it up, as I gave her a dumbfounded look.
“…What are you doing?”
“150 gold.
I’ll lend it to you.”
“…Why?”
When I inquired while panicking, she replied, coldly glaring at her father, who was holding the secret book with utmost care.
“…It’s the cost of cleaning up afterwards.”
“No, wait a minute.
That person…”
“Let’s begin the countdown! 3…2…1…”
I was trying to stop Isolet from committing patricide, but as soon as the host began the countdown, I carefully turned my gaze to the eccentric collector.
“……”
The eccentric collector was silently glaring at us with his fists clenched.
“…Newbie.”
“……!”
The moment I returned his words in a similar fashion, the host exclaimed.
“Successful bid! Successful bid! ‘Unknown Stone’ sold for 50,150 gold!!”
Hearing this, Isolet grabbed my arm, rose from her seat, started descending from the platform as she headed towards the unknown stone.
“…What’s the matter?”
“Take that and leave immediately.
I have business to attend to.”
“No… So…”
“…I’ll reclaim the secret book at the same time as I stop terrorism, and you, with your Ducal family’s influence, will take care of the aftermath.”
“You must be out of your mind.
Do you think I’m some kind of mastermind reigning the underworld? I’m just the first son of a Ducal family who lives his life in a pompous fashion… huh?”
As I was trying to convince Isolet, who thought I was some sort of mastermind who orders his henchmen to solve almost everything with a flick of his finger, suddenly someone stood up.

‘…Kania?’
Kania stood up from her seat, glaring at the ⟬Stone of Domination⟭, and started emitting dark mana from her right hand.
Seeing her, I realized one possibility and dashed towards the place where the ⟬Stone of Domination⟭ was located.
‘…Come to think of it, Kania didn’t take part in the bidding war itself, did she? Therefore, no doubt, from the very beginning, she was planning to steal the stone of domination…!’
– Clatter!
‘…Fuck.’
As I rushed to the ⟬Stone of Domination⟭, I muttered emphatically when I saw the dark mana emitted from Kania’s body, covering the whole auction house with a snap of her finger.
“That’s not why I gave her so much life force…”
As the dark mana created by Kania’s black magic engulfed the whole auction house, the panic-stricken people began collapsing one after another.
Amidst all this, I witnessed the Imperial Princess, who protected herself with solar mana, the Saintess, who swathed herself in holy power, and Kania, who momentarily staggered with blood in her mouth, all dash towards the ⟬Stone of Domination⟭.
“Ancestor… I wonder what the hell kind of battle you risked your life for…”
Soon after, with an apathetic expression, I opened the ornamental box I had in my arms and started rummaging inside.
.
.
.
“…This seems fun.”
Meanwhile, the eccentric collector, who was observing the spectacle with interest.
