The gaming company had officially gone to shit since the beginning of this year
To say they felt no hope was not an accurate description but more of sinking into the abyss.
The workers fled one after another until it was remaining the founders.
It was not out of loyalty they had stayed; the memory of college days are still fresh with their youth that made them impulsive enough to start a gaming company.
These 5 people loved games more than anyone and sought to prove that wasting their college days playing it wasn't going to lead their lives to ruin
They did have some talent in games, just not creating them but finding good high quality attractions.
It's obvious the direction of the company. The money resulted in a complete loss so much so that they began trending as the worst game company in the country.
Their funds went down the drain too and now this company was all the assets they have. So they could not abandon it.
But today they had a ray of hope. The leader was sent an anonymous message stating they will buy the company.
At first he was suspicious that it would be a new type of scam especially at the price being offered.
But he still wore his best suit and came to the large company in hope. What makes humans human is there desperate hope in bad times.
And this is very bad times.
"You most be Team leader Kim" a young man voice was heard coming out of the building.
Mr Kim looked at the young man in doubt, he even began to think about his college days of youth but removed his mind from it. After all, he wasn't as handsome as this youth.
"Mr Yama" Mr Kim asked in doubt and the young man smiled.
Mr Kim was then apprehensive again and not because he was young; but because the building was also run down a bit.
It was aging and they have no money for renovations so it's not an ideal state to sell
Mr Kim was already in the state of a business man cultivated from TV.
Do you really think a drop out who flopped on his career path would be able to pose as a business man without any preparation.
He was planning on explaining it in a way that the company might still sell but since he had already gone inside then there's no hope.
"Why don't you show me around" the handsome young man said
"You still want to go back in" Mr Kim said subconsciously then chuckled wryly at himself.
"I don't know much about a company so if you will" Mr Yama said to him
Mr Kim shrugged and gave him a completely truthful tour without adding anything to it.
He explained the circumstances of the company clearly and the arrangements inside
Looking at it again, he admits that the interior of the company is amazing because the founders are second generation rich people.
How else would they have kept the declining company for 2 years.
But they were young back then and no one expected much from them so they were allowed to run free.
Though mid 20s is not old, it has passed the age of coaxing and they were kicked out of the family with money to retire.
"That's it" Mr Kim did feel a yearning after remembering his love for games but now it's too late.
"I'll take all of it" Mr Yama said sitting on the chair in the CEO's room
"Shall I draft a contract" Mr Kim said excitedly
"Don't you want to know the price" Mr Yama said chuckling
Mr Kim was excited and forgot his supposed persona then asked for the price.
"1 billion" Mr Kim asked surprised
"It's enough to buy this building and pay your salary for the past few months" Mr Yama said
"Ah, what salary" Mr Kim was confused
"When I say I bought it all, I mean the people in it too"
Mr Kim put on an ugly expression of not knowing whether to cry. He was already having a mental struggle about selling due to the past but now his heart is clear: definitely leave this company.
"Kim- tae ohand his associates dropped out of school to start this gaming company at the expense of their identity as rich second generation adults" Each word made Mr Kim pale in fright.
"Who are you" he said stammering
"Your new boss. Now I'll send you the game in three days personally along with your team" he said preparing to leave the office.
"And if you know what's good for you then come obediently and I promise to pay you very well for your service" Mr Yama said walking out.
The young man took a taxi to his house after leaving the company in a leisurely manner.
"So how was it" Sung- Ha said sitting on the couch
The apartment wasn't large nor high end but just normal. They paid the rent and dressed like normal people too until they looked like every other family.
"Quite good" Yama said removing the mask on his face only visible to him.
"Tch can't you change back. Being handsome suits you better" Sung-Ha said
"Dear sister it's better to warn against vanity. Now have you found someone" Sung- Ming said sitting beside her
"I thought you wanted to use money for bait. What changed your mind"
"Well after bombing our house. I decided to include those people in my long term plan and it starts from this"
"So because of revenge you want to turn your game to a place for gossip" she asked in doubt
"If it attracts a lot of people then it goes beyond gossip. Besides I have other plans"
"This A-list celebrity is loved by all but he is actually really dirty" there was a handsome young man on the screen
"I know him vaguely so he should be popular enough" Sung- Ming said tapping his chin
"Besides he has the most shocking secrets that I'm sure all the netizens would love" she said smiling smugly
Sung- Ming read the lines on screen and he has to admit that it was quite shocking but it was worth it too.
He checked his inventory and brought out the list of 'players' as the system calls them
"Where do the players come from anyway" he said lying down on the bed in his room
[ Another world ]
"Oh I thought you were still moody" Sung- Ming said smiling.
[ Tch ]
Zhi Hua has been through a lot so it was reasonable to ignore the cause of his troubles.
It is his fault that he can barely stay in his own body for a few minutes. Just enough time to eat, even though he feels no hunger here but still eating is basic human rights.
He feels even more unjust at the mask given to him as a reward by the system. Why can't he also have a mask that gives you a handsome face.
Now he also has a list of all the players plus an innate loyalty buff that makes all his registered workers loyal.
The rewards sure are endless and that was just one sub-quest. Too unfair.
