EP.104 Did We Let Our Guard Down Because of the World Tree?
I returned to the one-room apartment.
Screams could be heard everywhere on the way here.
First I contacted all our company people to gather.
Of all times, this shit happened at Bonghwasan mountain. That area must still be under indiscriminate attack.
'It's not far from here.'
The ironic thing is that the World Tree at Bonghwasan is on the Jungnang-gu side.
We have a separate World Tree in our neighborhood, but that's not something to worry about right now.
It's been 1 hour since this situation broke out.
Sol-ji approached in a fluster.
"Looking at the community, other neighborhoods are in the same state?"
"Each neighborhood has one World Tree? This is fucked up, really."
"What should we do? It's still far to get here!"
"For now, keep contacting employees we can call. All the interns too!"
Sol-ji who was thinking for a moment tilted her head.
"Then what about Junggye-dong?"
"Leave that alone. Those two will handle it well. So work hard for me."
I sent interns there first. So they should do well.
I reached out and stroked Sol-ji's cheek. I found her lovely for working hard secretly.
"Heuit♥ Master's touch feels good♥"
Sol-ji shook her breasts left and right while smiling rosily. She was a bitch lewd beyond compare as always.
I took out my phone right away.
Information was important in this kind of situation.
The Desire community was in chaos.
[Hey, the World Tree in our neighborhood went crazy ㄷㄷ]
└Our neighborhood is getting wrecked too but the New Gangnam Gang isn't doing anything. They say they'll only save themselves fuck
└This is Busan, the pension I just bought is totally wrecked damn;
└Could this be a game too?
└No way, it's just the Celestial Horse Demon channel owner acting up again;
I clicked my tongue and nodded.
It was within expectations.
'I knew this would happen. There was a good atmosphere for a while so people bought land here and there, gained trust. But to reveal their true colors, an incident like this had to happen!'
That Celestial Horse Demon bastard.
As expected, a vicious bastard.
Moreover, that World Tree suddenly rose up before.
To think it was a device for today.
Haah, interesting fucker.
Currently powerful groups will be divided into two types.
Those who try to protect their neighborhood even at a loss.
And those who only protect themselves with a corporate mindset.
Looking around the community, I saw a post saying the autonomous government was already gathering players at City Hall and Yongsan under Jeon Yo-hwan's direct command to fight the monsters.
I whistled.
It was an action befitting Jeon Yo-hwan indeed.
'They're fast. Then?'
Just then, players who recently joined appeared on the 1st floor.
They were all interns, not even new employees.
Everyone had flustered faces.
It's natural since this kind of incident happened.
It would be strange not to be surprised.
Guys like me wouldn't be surprised though.
"Thank you all for coming, interns."
Everyone clamored.
"Um, what's going on?"
"What should we do?"
"My house is at the edge of Jungnang-gu..."
"Is this a game? Will we die?"
I shook my head calmly.
I understand everyone is flustered. But you have to experience situations like this too.
Those who have eaten meat know it well.
This is how you grow. You have to gain experience with everything.
And I'll be careful.
Because I'm the leader.
"No, that won't happen. The 300 or so players gathered here, don't worry. Itcan Company will not abandon you."
Everyone smiled.
But I have to say what needs to be said, right?
I raised my index finger upwards.
"However, I will only help those who have the will to fight themselves."
"What?!"
"As you know, Itcan Company is a place you come to become stronger, to contribute to our common interests. But we don't need people who try to hide cowardly or only receive help."
I did some neck exercises and continued speaking.
"If there are such people, you can withdraw now. I'll return all your shares and everything."
This was my, Itcan Company's policy.
I won't embrace everyone like Jeon Yo-hwan.
I won't deceive everyone with lies and make them slaves like Jeonjanggyon either.
I will help, but I will only help and protect those worth helping.
This way, useless guys will naturally be weeded out and eliminated.
The interns thought for a moment.
And.
"We'll fight!"
"We'll do anything Itcan Company orders!"
"Let's protect our neighborhood!"
"I want to fight even if I'm alone!"
I nodded with a satisfied smile.
Yes, this is it.
Those who leave saying "How can you do this?" are losers.
Such guys won't be able to belong anywhere they go, and will die like dogs.
What I want isn't much.
Guys who are strong from within.
Guys who really want to become strong.
These kinds of guys will become the foundation of the company, the basis.
I gave instructions while pointing at the map.
"Then I'll give instructions. Everyone return to the homes you need to protect. Just the interns registered with our Itcan Company number over a thousand. I'll deploy them in the right places to fight together."
"Ooh!"
"So everyone, struggle. Overcome! The difficulties you see now? They'll be nothing once you get past them. Itcan!"
"Itcan! Waaaah!"
I raised the interns' morale.
A big fight might break out unexpectedly. There's nothing bad about raising morale.
"Then let's fight back!"
"Yes!"
Everyone left busily.
Meanwhile I called out.
"Ah, wait a moment!"
"Yes?"
"Is there anyone who has a house inside Gonghe-dong and worked in office jobs?"
Everyone was dumbfounded at my sudden question.
But it was necessary.
I want to send some people to Gu Ho-sung at this opportunity.
Meanwhile about three people raised their hands and stepped forward.
"I'm a permanent deputy manager at a big company."
"I was an administrative soldier in the military..."
"I was a comprehensive reviewer! I can do video editing too!"
Perfect. Is heaven helping?
I pointed at the three.
"There's a place that used to be a lawyer's office over there, right? 2nd floor above the bread bank."
"Yes!"
"If you go there, Section Chief Gu Ho-sung will be there. You'll work there from now on."
"Ooh...!"
"Ah, please relay my message too. What stance the powerful groups are taking right now."
"Yes! Understood!"
The interns who received new positions excitedly went outside.
Everyone moved in an orderly manner.
This was just the beginning.
If actual battles break out, I would have to lead from the front.
Of course, it's standard for commanders to just give orders from behind.
But, that's what guys with no fucking ability do.
If you have the ability to survive, there's no better method than commanding from the front lines.
You show them while commanding like that.
That this is what the CEO of Itcan Company, Special One, is like.
"Heung!"
Ivy approached with a smile.
"My husband is amazing!"
Sol-ji's eyes shone like stars too.
"You're totally amazing, Master!"
"Stop being amazing and everyone do your jobs. Sol-ji, especially you team up with the other women and keep contacting people. As I instructed earlier."
"Okay, I will!"
I turned around.
Ivy was visible.
"What should I do? Should I fight together?"
"For now guard this place. Our baby is here too, right?"
"Hiing."
"There's no one else to protect besides Ivy."
"Okay! What about my husband?"
She listens to instructions well anyway.
She really is a lovely wife.
"I need to go to Rose Park. It's on the Jungnang-gu side, and several houses nearby belong to us."
"Okay, you have to come back soon?"
"Of course!"
We kissed each other, then separated.
I immediately left the one-room building.
I headed for the bridge.
The faint sound of fighting could be heard from far away.
Even now, many players must be falling while fighting fiercely.
Amid all kinds of booms and screams, quite a few people running away could be seen too.
I smirked.
'Honestly, I let my guard down because it was the World Tree. When it suddenly rose up and didn't do anything, I thought it was just background scenery.'
But it's not, right?
It felt like I'd been hit nicely.
But, this was rather an opportunity.
An opportunity to raise Itcan Company's name even higher!
Then I thought of something.
'By the way, we should match uniforms too. Hmm, then.'
I stopped for a moment and took out my phone.
I made a call.
-So Seo-hyun speaking.
"Ms. Seo-hyun, sorry but can I ask a favor?"
-Yes? What is it?
"While contacting people, could you do some design?"
-Design?
"Yes, about our company uniforms. Not too stiff..."
I conveyed my general thoughts on uniforms to Seo-hyun.
The overall image was like a hunter from Soulslike.
I aimed for comfort so it would be good to wear normally too.
After ending the call like that, I arrived at Rose Park.
Seok-do was cleaning up the surroundings with zombies.
"Everyone stay calm. The flowers will get hurt! Hey, don't lick the roses!"
"Seok-do, good work."
"Ah, you're here?"
"I came to see if you're doing well. Seok-do, I'm counting on you here."
"Of course."
I patrolled nearby houses past Rose Park.
I saw players waiting with weapons in each house.
As expected, they're on high alert. This level of discipline is basic.
Woojigeum!
Something appeared as a telephone pole collapsed. There was a strong smell of blood.
Kihyaaak!
It was a wyvern so huge it could be seen as a dragon.
It recognized me then opened its long snout and roared.
I could see a person's arm or half-crushed skull stuck between its shark-like teeth.
Shihiiik!
It swooped down splitting the air.
I saw some people hiding nearby.
I deliberately put on a mask for show.
It may seem like a crisis situation but.
"Today's menu is wyvern chicken!"
I took out my sword and swung it in the air.
Mana rose from the sword tip like smoke, then soon changed to look like heat haze.
A shockwave of overwhelming scale occurred.
The shockwave shattered the wyvern in an instant and passed by.
Kahaak!
The wyvern fell with its bones and flesh separated.
The people watching around cheered.
"Ooh, as expected of Special One!"
"Itcan Company is the trend!"
"Sh-should I apply too?"
"Special One is the best!"
There didn't seem to be any more threats.
"Everyone, please rest assured! I'll make sure mobs don't come near this area!"
"Waaaah!"
I smiled lightly while hearing people's cheers.
This much is easy for me!
As I was smirking. My phone rang.
A message had come.
I widened my eyes seeing who sent it.
