President of Novel Country Co., Ltd.

Nara-chan was enjoying breakfast, drinking a cup of coffee, and going to work.

24 hours in a day are not enough.

She was a hard worker and was known to have executive meetings while eating breakfast.

That day too.

One day I had a breakfast meeting with the executives.

They were enjoying a delicious breakfast while hearing the news that the company’s stock price had risen due to the huge success of the game they had just released.

Even in the media, news of the box office success of Choi Ah-sal was in full swing every day.

– A game released in Korea has achieved the number one spot in total sales in global application stores for 6 months in a row!

– The world is once again amazed by the power of K-Games!

The game, , based on a popular novel, has been a long-term success not only in Korea but also in other major mobile game countries such as the ‘United States, Japan, China, and Europe’.

And now, season 2 is about to be released.

Portal sites around the world were once again on edge wondering what kind of unprecedented new records Season 2 of Choi Ah-sal would break.

“Hoohoo, Chief Kang! Is the hiring of ghostwriters going well?”

“Yes, I was surprised to see that there were more writers than I thought who wanted to ghostwrite popular works that had been around for a long time.”

“Yes, if this goes well… …we will be the first in the world to create a miraculous website without a single discontinued novel!”

As Kim Young-jae recalled the grand plan, the board members began to applaud.

“Hahaha! That’s a really great idea, sir!”

“In the future, Novel Nation will achieve record-breaking growth!”

If the novelist Seorin1004 stops serializing, I will definitely finish the work, even if it means using a ghostwriter.

Moreover, if this thing goes well.

Novel Nara Inc. has established a ghostwriter system by gathering all the works of writers whose serialization has stopped.

They were planning to put up a notice of resumption of serialization of all the works they had published throughout the year.

That was the ultimate utopia and goal pursued by Nara-chan, a successful businessman famous for founding the world’s most notable unicorn company, and the management team of Novel Land.

But I didn’t know until this point.

Who would have thought that such an ambitious plan would go off to a stalemate right from the start?

It wasn’t because there weren’t any writers who wanted to take on the job of ghostwriting.

It wasn’t because the business was unprofitable or because there was no support from readers.

Rather, Novel Nara’s ambitious goal of erasing the word ‘serial discontinuation’ from the dictionary has thrilled novel readers around the world.

Now, readers from all over the world are flocking to Novel Land to read K-web novels.

however.

There was a separate problem.

“I have something urgent to report… …but… ”

“What, Chief Kang… … ?”

“Actually, Seorin1004, the sales team member who was supposed to ask for consent has been missing for a month and has not been coming to work.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden? The staff isn’t coming out… … ?”

Director Kang was sweating profusely.

Could you have ever imagined?

Park A-young, a sales team member who was known for being hard-working, honest, good at performing, and easygoing, without causing any trouble.

One day, she didn’t show up for work.

Although I was supposed to be transferred to the Q&A team for 6 months.

In fact, it wasn’t a simple personnel transfer.

It was an opportunity for promotion.

An essential test before being promoted to Sales Team Leader!

While working on the QA team, which serves as the heart and engine of the site.

By communicating with customers about their complaints in real time, I was able to develop more diverse problem-solving skills.

In addition, it was an internal consideration within the company to practice being able to clearly express one’s opinions and to strengthen cooperation with colleagues.

Park A-young also knew that fact.

I happily agreed to the transfer to the QA team.

‘A guy who was just about a month away from getting promoted… … suddenly went missing.’

Director Kang thought that this incident was not ordinary.

Isn’t this the position of team leader in the novel world that everyone dreams of?

It is known that Soseolnara, which has just emerged as a global corporation, has interns receiving an annual salary of about 70 million won and full-time employees receiving an annual salary of about 120 million won.

It has grown into a company that is the envy of global giants such as Google.

Because it was a team leader position in that kind of company.

It was as if a seat that was a symbol of success had been reserved for him.

– Park A-young, please. I heard you are a master of negotiation. If you can just get the consent of author Seorin1004? You will become my successor!

-Wow! Sir. I’m so happy. I’ll work hard!

That is why, when Park Ah-young got the opportunity for promotion.

I was happier than anyone else.

There was no way that President Kim Young-jae was unaware of that fact.

Because Park Ah-young was one of the most promising elite employees in the company.

“What are you talking about?! Wasn’t Park A-young the kind of person who could become our company’s first female executive? And she disappeared?!”

“Yes… … We looked through the CCTV inside the company and even conducted an investigation in cooperation with the police. But they say he disappeared without a trace. While he was at work… … at the company.”

The executives were shocked when they heard that he had disappeared from the company while he was working.

“Oh my god, during work hours. An employee goes missing.”

Isn’t that an urban legend?

“It is said that the employee who was sitting in his seat just a few minutes ago disappeared without a trace.”

“Damn it, we can’t just cancel the announcement now! But you can’t hold a press conference like before, with Director Kang taking full responsibility. Because, Serin 1004 writer said she’s back now… … .”

The fire immediately fell on my feet.

There is only one way to put out this fire!

All I have to do is get the author Seorin1004’s permission to acquire the copyright or convince her to write another novel.

Finally, Kim Young-jae made up his mind.

“I will send a note myself… …!”

“The CEO himself… …!?”

“Okay, if you just resume serialization, I promise to pay you ten million won per episode.”

“Huh, huh… … !”

Ten million won per synagogue.

If you faithfully serialize 365 days a year, you can earn a whopping 3.65 billion won.

The fee was only the base salary, and if you add the settlement fee to it, it was said that the first writer with a flat-rate system would earn 10 billion won per year.

So the board of directors had no choice but to ask questions.

“What would you do if Seorin1004, the writer, got angry and got angry 10 times a day?”

“Then, we should pay a basic salary of 36.5 billion won per year.”

“Huh, huh… … !?”

That’s how desperate the current Novel Nara was.

Ahead of the shareholders’ meeting and the Season 2 production announcement, I had to move her heart by any means necessary.

#

The next day.

I headed to the gym to attend Instructor Cheaters’ physical training class.

Before I hit the track there, I muttered while stretching my body while looking at the morning sun.

“Whew, the midterms are just around the corner… … .”

“Huh..?! There are still two months left?!”

The dates for the Academy’s entrance ceremony, midterm exams, final exams, and graduation ceremonies may vary slightly depending on the department and semester of the Academy.

However, for the new students at our Arpen Academy, the entrance ceremony is on March 2nd.

The midterm exam was on May 2nd. The final exam was on June 26th. The graduation ceremony was on July 29th.

So, it would be natural for the young ladies to be puzzled when they hear what I say.

The current date is March 5th.

Because there were only about three days left until the entrance ceremony.

But I know.

Walpurgis Night.

That time of the year, the ‘ashy moon of sorrow’ when half of the students in the school die, is right around the time of the midterm exam season.

In fact, it’s not a midterm, it’s a test of survival.

‘Hell Knight Mode’ offers more rewards and experience points, but your chances of survival are drastically reduced.

So my whole goal is, only.

Before the midterms, I was only focused on saving as many young girls as possible.

For me, with such a goal ahead of me, the two months left until the midterms felt like a very short time.

‘To do that, I’ll have to do a lot of lewd things with the girls during class… ‘

Train as many young ladies as possible.

And awaken it.

When you awaken, your rank will go up, just like in the case of ‘Arisha von Systein’.

Young-ae was able to exaggerate her abilities.

When ‘Walpurgis Night’ comes, you need to be at least 4 stars in your current life.

Or maybe you need to get a 5 star rating to guarantee survival.

“Right now, shouldn’t we be worrying about the ‘freshmen sparring’ rather than the midterms?”

“Oh, right. That’s very important too.”

The ‘Freshman Match’ has the greatest influence on the rankings at the Academy.

It will take place in early April, and you can even choose your opponent.

A student with a lower grade nominates a student with a higher grade.

at that time.

‘Arisha’, who was warming up during our physical training session, asked me.

“Who will our dog spar with? Have you decided?”

“Ah, Master… … I am an S-class, so I am the one being designated. I am not the one being designated.”

S-class.

The pinnacle, the one standing at the pinnacle of power where no one can step on him or her anymore.

So, for me, my only goal was to preserve this benefit.

Of course, S-class members also compete in promotion matches.

There is also a distinct ranking system for S-class students. However, that ranking system is determined through final exams.

At that time, there was a group of delinquent boys behind the class.

A gangster named Geum Tae-yang, a guy named ‘Burning Stracer’, started picking on me.

“Kihahaha! You bastard, I don’t know how you got there by any luck. Anyway, your magical power is F-ranked, right? Then, doesn’t that mean you’re a total weakling? I’ll dig up every last bit of your identity!”

At those words, Arisha tried to step forward.

I stopped it.

Because it was so ridiculous, I burst out laughing.

“Haa, I’m glad you care so much about me, but you’re a B-rank.”

“Right… … ?”

“You idiot, if you’re a B grade, you should at least get an A grade.”

“What, what?!”

When Strasser was still flustered, B-class Ryona and A-class Arisha rolled their eyes and started to mumble while making excuses.

“You idiot~”

“Dalian place name, in case of an unexpected killing. Don’t you know that you can only apply for up to one level?”

“Ugh, shit! I’m so pissed.”

Burning didn’t know that fact and started to run wild as if he was angry.

Suddenly, he pointed at Arisha Youngae.

“Okay, then… …! I’ll beat you first!”

Then, Arisha made a happy expression, bowed her waist, and made a gesture to provoke the opponent with a confident expression.

“Woohoohoohoo, thanks to you, Aesong. I can maintain my A-class status for a long time? I’m glad!”

“Ugh… … !”

‘Burning Stracer’, unable to control his anger, started to gather flames from his fists while grumbling.

Just as the atmosphere was about to become tense, Instructor Chittery approached us.

“Sleep! If you see a guy trying to bully your friend during my class, don’t leave him alone! Quick, loosen up before you run! Guys!”

“Tch, let’s see!”

Burning Strasser glared at Arisha and me once each, then quickly led the group back to their place.

The one who was really worried was me.

‘One of the Class A guys will nominate me. The group with the lowest favorability rating right now is the ‘Delinquent Students Group’. There’s a high chance that they’ll nominate me to spar with that group.’

To do that, you have to become strong.

While increasing skill proficiency, it is an important task to also increase basic stats…

Just then, Yuna and Liris were seen taking a strength training class together on the other track.

‘Then, I have to train Yuna somehow… … Hmm?’

When I looked at Yuna with eagle eyes, Yuna also noticed me.

============================

▼ This is Liris, who came out of the locker room after changing clothes to attend a physical training class…!!
