Episode.8 First work day

– Tweet. tweet.

I can hear the sound of sparrows in the morning.

As my eyes opened, the light coming through the window slowly began to enter between my squinted eyes.

“Umm…”

I immediately got up from the mattress and stretched.

This mattress I am lying on has a comfort level that is quite different from that of the Golden Rule bed.

‘It’s more uncomfortable where I am now, but it feels familiar…’

Now that I think about it, what happened to my previous house?

It was a little disappointing that the precious items from my former home were gone, along with my former identity.

However, I immediately shook off my regret, got up from the mattress, and prepared for my first day at the association.

When I went to the bathroom to wash, there were two toothbrushes under the mirror.

Purple toothbrush and red toothbrush.

‘…Why two?…No, why is there a toothbrush in the first place?’

I was surprised that there was a toothbrush in the bathroom.

Well, I didn’t prepare much when I came here.

Of course, I couldn’t have brought a toothbrush.

‘… Did Eunbyeol prepare it?’

I thought it was a toothbrush that Eunbyeol had prepared, so I just ignored it.

‘But… which is my toothbrush?’

I was in trouble, but I was able to get out of it quickly.

‘Is one a spare?’

However, even though one of the toothbrushes was just a spare, it felt like it was slightly used.

The bristles of the red toothbrush are slightly opened.

Without hesitation, I picked up the purple toothbrush and quickly washed it in time for my first day of work.

… The mint flavor of the toothpaste is too strong.

I came out after washing up and opened the box I brought.

Inside, of course, were the potions and ID card I had brought with me.

I took my ID and took out a potion.

However, there was a piece of A4 paper under the potion.

There was information written on the A4 paper telling me which department I was in.

Let’s see… which department should I go to?

“Hmm….”

The department I will be going to is the ‘Gate Processing Unit’.

… This department seems to be related to Eunbyeol’s situation.

So they probably sent me to this department.

Because her family had to hear about their death from someone while on a business trip abroad due to laziness in this department.

I have no idea what information I should get from this department in the future.

I felt my hands shaking slightly at the thought of doing something bad.

‘It’s my first time doing this, so there’s nothing I can do..’

– Bong!

I uncorked the potion.

Yerim finished the potion with a cork.

Does this feel good or something?

Anyway, I took a shot of the face-changing potion and set off for the association.

The taste is not very good.

If I had to describe it in words, it tasted like old tap water.

I felt my face twist.

It was my first time experiencing this unfamiliar sensation, so I didn’t feel good.

– Tiring!

[P. Due to the effect of Wimp’s Grace (D), the duration of the potion’s beneficial effects has been increased by 10 times.]

[Increased from 24 hours to 240 hours.]

My Wimp’s Grace is now Lv.2.

So, the duration, which was increased by 5 times at Lv.1, is increased by 10 times when it is Lv.2.

You may not understand why this effect is a D-level skill, but it was before I met Yerim… that is, before I got the system.

At that time, the potion given by the country lasted at most 10 minutes. Of all the potions I bought, the most expensive one was 1 hour.

I experimented with a cheap 5-minute cold resistance potion in the winter when Wimp’s Grace was Lv.1, and it lasted for 25 minutes.

However, I quickly rose to Lv. 2 and lasted 50 minutes.

I vividly remember losing some of the money I had saved to buy ability confirmation scrolls sold on the Internet to check my level up and this ability.

So, if you drink an ordinary potion, it is an ordinary skill, but in the case of the high-end potion made by Yerim, the basic duration is at least 24 hours, so even though it has fraud-level performance, it appears to be classified as a D-level skill.

In reality, it’s hard to get even an hour’s worth of content, so you have to worry about it, so it’s D-level.

This is because you can only see effects beyond D level if you have capital power.

Well, to be honest, this means that there is a possibility that it will increase by 15 times when it reaches Lv.3.

I wanted to level up even faster.

As you grow, your encounters with her become closer and closer.

The woman I’m talking about here is, of course, my ex-girlfriend Lee Yena.

I got up from my knees to grow more and more, waiting for the day when I could apply my dampening… or nerfing ability to her.

Suddenly, the feeling of distortion in my face calmed down.

So I immediately checked the mirror.

Things have changed a little.

A mole appeared on my face.

There were no moles on my face to begin with.

And although it wasn’t a huge change, there were definitely some things that changed.

… The impression of a person has decidedly changed.

As a result, the face was created according to the ID card Seoyoon made.

‘Will this face last for a day now?… No, thanks to the effect of my Wimp’s Grace, the duration has been increased tenfold, so I can live with this face for 10 days, not just one day.’

Additionally, there were quite a few potions included in the box.

I didn’t count it exactly, but I was relieved because it was a large amount just to look at it.

I went to work at the association with a firm determination to do my best.

**********

Arrived in front of the association.

The exterior wall of the association’s building is made of transparent glass.

According to rumors, this building has 51 floors.

.. Still, it’s smaller than the 63 building.

I entered the association’s building through the front door.

‘Why was the revolving door really created?’

I looked around inside, thinking about something trivial.

I had no idea where to go, so I walked towards a male employee who seemed to be giving me directions at the counter in the middle of the first floor.

“Hey.. It’s my first time coming to this association.. Where is this?”

I showed the A4 paper to the male employee and asked.

“Ah. The gate handling department is located on the 4th floor. Go to the 4th floor.”

‘No, I have to tell you where to go on the 4th floor.’

The entire 4th floor is not the gate processing department, so why are they informing us like that?

I grumbled and headed to the elevator.

Luckily, the elevator going up came straight from the basement.

But as soon as the elevator door opens, the pure white hair is visible.

In that elevator was the blind woman I met yesterday.

‘This person was Baek Harin… last night?’

I knew her name by the effect of the King’s insight, but I felt I should not mention it because she thought I did not know her.

“Uh.. You’re the person I met on the street yesterday, right?..”

“Ah! Were you also a member of the association?”

“It wasn’t yesterday, but starting today, I started working in the gate processing department at the association.”

“I see… I guess you’ll do a lot of fighting if you’re only processing the gate in half, right?”

“Yes.. I guess so.. But you haven’t told me your name yet..”

“Do you really not know me? I thought it was a joke yesterday, but I’ll let you know that it’s a coincidence that we met again like this”

Actually, I already know.

I couldn’t find any information about her except her name, age, and position.

‘But I guess it’s okay because I know the name..’

“My name is Baek Harin. I am a healer in the association?”

She was a healer.

‘I already knew this too.’

As I was talking with her, I arrived at the 4th floor.

“Are you getting off now?”

“Yes, it was nice to meet you again.”

I said hello to Harin and exited the elevator.

“You… See you again soon~”

She also greeted me warmly.

The eye smile was quite attractive.

Although there are no eyes.

I looked back as soon as the elevator doors closed.

As soon as I looked back, I immediately knew why the employee didn’t give me any further explanation as to where I should go.

That was because, just as I imagined, the entire fourth floor consisted of one department.

So this association has 51 floors… the first floor is the lobby… So… there are 50 departments?

I was thinking such trivial thoughts when suddenly someone behind me placed a hand on my shoulder.

“Oh~ This is my first time seeing this face! Are you the new employee who was supposed to come this time?”

“Yes.. But?”

“Uh, I just call you Manager Lee. What is your name?”

“Ah, my name is Han Si-woo, and I am a new employee in this department. Please take care of me, Manager Lee.

‘… I guess I can roughly introduce it like this. As for the rest, Seoyoon must have manipulated my specifications through hacking…’

“Yes, yes, Mr. Siwoo. But the person I was talking to in the elevator earlier… is a high-ranking person, so I guess he’s friendly?”

…. High One?…

“Uh… I don’t know…”

“Huh.. My friend who is younger than me doesn’t seem to know the best doctor not only in the association but also in the hunter world?”

Is he a healer or a doctor? Is he a high-ranking person who made a lot of money with his healing ability?

“Yes.. I really have no idea.”

“Listen carefully, newbie. That person…”

– gulp.

Seeing Assistant Manager Lee setting the mood, I swallowed my saliva without realizing it.

“That person…is the first and best S-class heal rush not only in the association but also in the hunter world!”

What’s wrong with that?

… The woman who collided with a passerby during a night walk and fell comically was the only S-class healer?
