The Otherworld’s Stock Market God: Shorting a Dynasty

Ma Yunteng is a professional stock trader who has suffered three dramatic rises and falls in the market and ended up buried in debt. Just as he is about to turn his fortunes around, he transmigrates to another world where nations vie for supremacy.

There are no candlestick charts here, but the System has turned ten thousand transmigrators from around the globe into CEOs of “listed companies.” Each governs a county and takes part in a worldwide contest for dominance. There are Roman legions, Han cavalry, ninjas, knights, and more. Ma Yunteng is the only stock trader among them.

While other lords battle with swords and schemes, Ma Yunteng quietly opens the System’s built-in [Cosmic Trading Exchange].

Grain, salt, iron, warhorses: in his eyes, they are all tradable “bulk commodities.”

The strength of an enemy nation is an asset he can “short.”

An ally’s war is a project he can finance by issuing “bonds.”

Even loyalty itself is a “stock” he can drive up or sell off!

He starts from the start with a run-down border county on the brink of bankruptcy, its public approval plummeting and its people seething with resentment.

Everyone thinks he’ll be the first one eliminated.

But he smiles faintly and begins a series of godlike plays:

He buys up “junk assets” at rock-bottom prices, spreads bad news to short neighboring countries, leverages war bonds to raise funds, and manipulates resource prices to create a monopoly...

When the whole world is against him and allied armies surround his city, Ma Yunteng is nowhere near the battlements. He’s in the trading exchange.

He calmly presses confirm and says:

“Sorry, but I’ve just shorted your entire national economy.”

This is a battlefield of cold steel, and his personal Wall Street.

See how the world’s only stock trader turns capital into a sword and finance into a battle formation, defeats nations without a fight, and ultimately becomes the lord of an age!
