“I can use the power of Insight in the dream world,” said the king after waking up . Hearing this news, the old vassal was ecstatic .
“You can use Insight, your majesty? This is fortunate for you, your majesty, I am relieved to hear this . ”
insight . Eyes with the power of insight .
This power allows for the bearer to observe through the matter, truth, and law of the world .
Among those with royal blood, only a selected few can wield this power . Insight was a power that was imprinted on King Arthur’s soul .
Depending on the user’s proficiency with the ability, one can see the composition of materials, know when others are lying, or the structure of magical spells . It is also capable of seeing the history behind certain landmarks .
Despite his dream self’s newfound ability, the king was disappointed and unhappy .
“Since the dream world is cursed, the power is very weak . It can’t be used all the time, and the duration of each use is short . Even the truth that is seen is limited, I would rather have an increase in physical capabilities or be able to use magic…”
“It is very difficult to transfer your physical body, magical powers, or any of the blessings . The transfer of Insight may only be possible due to it’s imprint on your soul . ”
“I know, but I can’t help but be disappointed . ”
After the ritual, those that helped with the magic circle are currently exhausted of magic and can barely lift a finger . They are unable to get out of their beds for at least half a year .
‘I should be grateful for being able to use such a power due to their sacrifice . ’
“If I could use simple magic though… . like healing…”
The king clenched his fist tightly .

10 days have passed since he had won .
Han Seo Jin realised that he was not hallucinating, he had awakened Insight .
At first he did not know what triggered its activation .
Several times in a day, he activated the power unconsciously and then it would subside . Han Seo Jin, who was still confused, continued to observe this power . He even forgot about his cancer diagnosis and limited life span .
For 10 days, he was immersed in observing and researching about the power . As of now, he could only conclude some points .
“Really… I can see the truth . ”
It seems that he was able to see the true identity of objects, this was the ability to see the truth . Due to this skill, he was able to identify both the winning lottery ticket and the chemical formula of medications .
He called this power, Insight . His eyes possessed the power of Insight .
When he had been thinking of what to name the power, the word ‘Insight’ had unconsciously appeared .
“If I could use this power without restraints…”
Han Seo Jin shook his head and shivered . Once he was able to control this amazing power completely, what could limit him? He would be able to live a life uncomparable to the past . But soon, he became depressed .
“So what if I have the power of insight? I will only live for a few months and then die . ”
Once he remembered about his diagnosis, his body lost strength .
Yes . He can’t live for a long time . Even if he had hundreds of millions of won in his bankbook and Insight, it was all useless once he died .
He opened his medication bag and retrieved the painkillers . It was time to drink the medicine .
“That’s right!”
He stood up, stretched out his hands, and looked at the pill . After focusing on the drug, the chemical structure of the pill was revealed immediately .
As he observed the complex chemical structure, he hesitantly drank the medicine .
“There is a way . ”
The light in his eyes burned brightly . He did not seem like someone near death, his eyes were lit with hope .
“But… I need money . ”
You need money to do anything, and the more money you had the better it was .
Now there was only one method for him to earn money quickly .
Han Seo Jin ran back to the store and bought all the winning tickets he saw . He scratched them all, and won on all of them . Some were worth only a few thousand won, others were slightly over 100 million .
However, he did not go to claim his winnings .
“This won’t do . ”
If all the accumulated earnings were added together, the sum will be approximately 700 million won . But what happens if he claimed a dozen or more winning lottery tickets? Especially if they were worth more than a million won? Obviously people would be suspicious of him .
“I only have one chance . ”
He already won 500 million from a lotto ticket . If he claimed one ticket less than 3 weeks after that event, he would attract unwanted attention but it would not be too dangerous .
But if he won 3 times in a row, then the situation would be risky .
“The jackpot is 2 billion won…”
What he wanted to find was the jackpot, however it is unfortunate that his power had a limit . Although he could identify the winning tickets, he could not distinguish the exact amounts . Thus, he conducted a new strategy . Instead of claiming the current winners or throwing them out, he diligently went to different stores and bought more tickets .
However, even though he scoured through the stores of Seoul for a few days, he could not find the jackpot winner .
“I can’t do this anymore . ”
He took a deep breath and reflected upon his actions . He had spent too much time searching for the ticket without a solid plan .
“Is is impossible for me to find it…”
He sighed and waited for the bus . Suddenly, the map of Seoul caught his eye . Blankly staring at the map, he had a sudden thought .
“Ah! What if I do that?”
He rushed to a nearby PC room, sat down in front of a computer, and searched for the national map .
“Please . Please . Please…”
He murmured, while staring crazily at the map . Only one thought raced through his mind .
“The scratch off lotto winner . Winning the scratch off ticket . Winning the lottery…”
Without blinking, he stared at the map intently, as if it was his enemy . Soon, pain emerged from his dry eyes and a portion of the map began to shine with a golden light .
[Goyang-si Ilsan-gu, Janghang-dong . ]
He muttered the city a few times, reciting them for memorization . Sadly he could not see the exact store, but the current progress still satisfied him .
He left the PC room and headed straight to Janghang-dong, Ilsan .
Once there, he scoured through all the shops selling scratch off tickets and bought all the ones that seemed to be winners .
The moment he scratched a ticket at the store, he felt all the stress being released from his body . All the tense muscles relaxed at the same time .
He held the ticket firmly .
“ . . . it’s done . ”
He had the jackpot winner, earning a total of 2 billion won .
Finally, he had found the jackpot ticket . ~~~
“Would you like for me to conduct tests?”
“Yes, MRI, CT, biopsy, or whatever . I want all the results . ”
“ . . . Okay, I’ll have them given to you . ”
Han Seo Jin visited the doctor who discovered his cancer .
Although he was confused, the physician prepared the tests . The patient was about to die, so he continued to do as the patient desired .
He told the patient in an apologetic tone .
“The results shall not be much different when you go to another hospital . ”
“I know, I’ve already heard this exact statement in two other large hospitals . ”
“So where do you plan on using these results…”
“I've heard someone prayed everyday with their diagnostic records at their ancestor’s grave . This person miraculously improved in health . I want to try doing this at least once . ”
After hearing this superstitious plan, the physician was speechless . Shocked by his outrageous plan, he could only utter two words as Han Seo Jin left his office .
