Self-esteem Lee Hyunsung

    Ji Hui hadn't moved from the singular spot he had sat at after Kim Dokja passed out after doing good knows what.

He was reading the diary not paying attention to the windows that continued to show up the more he read this ridiculous diary.

[ February 4th ×××××× —

My father found a bride for me. I rejected her because she was ugly, I mean who wants a bride who looks like a squid???

I ate steak for dinner it was quite delicious and had pudding for dessert but father wouldn't let me have another one. Stupid bastard! ]

[ May 18th ×××××× —

I found an ancient ruin that links to our bloodline. It turns out we have the bloodline of an God. I knew I was special, sigh.

The God had the ability to bring back the dead through shadows. He was a shadow monarch of some sort.

Thats such a lame name I'll have a much cooler name of course so it wouldn't matter.

Em#&>×@, o% aby##—that will be my godly name.

It has a nice ring to it! ]

"....?"

'This name is oddly familiar?' Ji Hui figured that this name was familiar but it seemed to have been censored by something.

Ji Hui came to realization of whom this diary belonged to but he never would've guessed that the owner was a constellation.

Of course he had no clue of which constellation but based on the entirees this did belong to constellation.

[ November 10th ××××× —

Father is forcing me to get married. At least it's to another women that isn't awful like the last one nor a squid.

Her body is just my type too.

Father would punish me if he knew what I was thinking but I'm a growing boy isn't this normal? Father so strict! ]

Ji Hui had been engrossed in reading that he hadn't notice Dokja waking up nor the windows that continued to show up as he read.

[ The Authority 'The Gluttonous prince' has increased by 20%. ]

[ The authority 'Ruler of Shadows' has increased 20%. ]

[ The Skill 'poison breath' has evolved into 'death mist'. ]

[ The Skill 'Steel defense' is on the verge of evolution. ]

...

Ji Hui's skills that had been copied by The Gluttonous prince and forgotten because the author forgot to mention it had begun to evolve.

[ Hey, how long are you going to sleep for? ]

Kim Dokja had woken due the nag from Bihyung's voice through a transmitted message but something felt wrong.

"Ah, Dokja-ssi is awake." Jung heewon was the first to notice he had awakened.

"Lee Hyunsung, how are your thighs?"

'I thought the height of the pillow wasn't right.'

Kim Dokja realized the off putting he felt as he woke up. He had a sore neck and rubbed it silently cursing his sleeping place.

"Phew, what are we going to do today? is it going to be like yesterday?"

"no, it only works for one day."

"Today we are going to complete the third scenario completely."

"What? how?"

"First," Kim Dokja glanced at the directon of Gong Pildu—the self proclaimed landlord. "Let's change the land owner."
.....

Ji Hui was quite content reading this ridiculous diary that full of a secrets that no one else could see but him.

He had tried showing it to Yoo Sangah to see if it would have the same effect as it does for him but she just looked at it blankly.

-Hui-ssi, there's nothing here?

Ji Hui didn't belive it at first but then he realized that she really couldn't see it.

Meaning it was just for him.

But his content secret reading was interrupted by Kim Dokja whom had woken up.

"hui, do me a little favor." Kim Dokja came over with his shameless smile.

Ji Hui felt goosebumps and clenched the diary against his chest.

It felt like the time he thought Kim Dokja was a pedophile or when Dokja asked for his snacks.

"...I won't let you take a piece of my hair.."

Kim Dokja glanced at him as if he had gone mental. "why would I want your hair?"

Ji Hui felt a but embarrassed and coughed.

"forget it, what is it?" Ji Hui was back to his usual self after his small embarrassing moment.

"Compliment Lee Hyunsung and raise his self-esteem." It was a strange request but Ji Hui didn't ask the details.

he felt as if he'd be wrapped in trouble if he did.

"one bag of snacks." His wisdom and favors come with a price.

"half a bag." Kim Dokja tried to negotiate but Ji Hui wasn't gonna work with him.

"one bag."

"...deal." Kim Dokja had no choice but to agree.

Ji Hui was satisfied and went to do the favor he had promised. He noticed the group peeking behind a wall to look at Lee Hyunsung.

'...?'

But he didn't ask.

Both he and pancake stood in front of Lee Hyunsung.

Lee Hyunsung was a hit confused because he hadn't interacted with Ji Hui much during the time he had been with them.

The nine-year-old was often off to the side or with Kim Dokja.

"You're strong." Ji Hui just dropped this sentence and then went back to his spot leaving a confused Lee Hyunsung.

Kim Dokja was I disbelief and thought that it would fail but something unexpected happened.

[ The character 'Lee Hyunsung' has increased self-esteem significantly. ]

[ The character 'Lee Hyunsung' is on the verge of evolution. ]

'it worked?'

Kim Dokja was suprised that a comment from Ji Hui had that much of an affect on Lee Hyunsung.

The group was confused as too why Lee Hyunsung looked brighter after Ji Hui talked to him.

'just what did he say??'
