Considering that the start time is 9 o'clock, he is absolutely not late.
However, Hyunseong couldn't understand why that manager had his eyes wide open.
« This deputy? Do you know what time it is? »
« sorry. It was late because the caregiver came today a little later than the scheduled time. »
There is no one in this office who does not know about Hyunseong's pitiful situation. The same goes for Parker.
Anyone could have passed it if it was this way, but Manager Park did not do that.
« Then if the caregiver quits, will you leave too? »
« sorry. »
« Are you talking? How many times is this? »
'I've only been there three times in five years.'
The words filled up to the tip of his chin, but he couldn't finish it.
If I did, I'm sure I'd hear a pinzan.
At that time, Manager Park clicked his tongue and said:
« 쯧쯧쯧, the guys who have not been able to do not even have to do the social life. »
It is a performed personal attack.
Even so, Hyunjin couldn't say anything.
It's already been 5 years since I've been employed by this conglomerate. He was able to stay with him because he was good at his job, but if he gets cut here, there aren't many companies that he, a high school graduate, can work for.
Society wasn't that easy.
'Whatever you do, you risk going to college. To the subject that he also graduated from high school.'
said only inwardly.
Can't really say that.
At least that was the yangban.
Since he had only one younger sister left in his family, when he asked if it would be good to be exempted from military service as a sick younger sister, I really wanted to beat him to death.
Even then, I endured it, but how could I not be able to stand something like that?
You can laugh through this.
« Ahaha, right. I don't have a lot of social life because I have short straps. How grateful I am to be serving as a human being by learning this way from the manager, haha. »
« Obviously it makes sense, go get some coffee. »
« Yes! »
I replied that way, but I didn't even think about getting the money.
How dare the deputy ask for money to run the manager's coffee errand?
In most cases, they do not even think about using a corporate card and cover it with their own money.
it was
'Mr. X bastard.'
Turning around, holding back the swearing, he sighed and went down to the coffee shop on the first floor.
He swears at himself like that and doesn't say anything when other employees leave for work at 9 o'clock.
They are elites who have graduated from prestigious universities.
What should I do with vulgar and dirty discrimination? Eul, he must be patient.
'It's best to live round. You can't fight like crazy dogs like in the old days.'
It is good to live round.
It is true, but it is also true that if you endure too much, you will become ill.
But Hyunsung can't help it. Considering the cost of care and medicine for my sick sister, it was right to hold on to my salary even in a place like this.
Of course, if it wasn't for my sick sister, I wouldn't have put up with such humiliation.
'Today is going to be hard.'
It's not even late, but you can tell just by shivering.
He will go somewhere and solve his anger on Hyeonseong.
It's already been 5 years since I joined. If you pretend, you are pretending.
'Hey, I really want to beat him.'
I sighed and looked out the window at the sky.
Damn blue sky.
By the time the office is over, it's already past 10pm.
Since I always worked overtime, it was not uncommon to end up at this hour.
When I opened the front door, it was my sister's caregiver who greeted me, not my sister.
« Oh? Now you're coming. I'll go to work then. Ho Ho. »
« Yes, well done. »
« No, I'm sorry I'm late today. I'll be up early tomorrow. »
« Yes, go take a look. » At that, Hyunseong just nodded and entered the house.
The house is not that narrow.
It is the house that his parents inherited, and now it is the house where he and his sister live together.
Without changing clothes, I went to my sister's bedroom.
Seeing the child who greeted him with a smile as he saw Hyunseong come, it felt like all the hard work that had been going on for the day was gone.
'Are fathers with children like this?'
You can already feel your father's heart.
« Hyun-ah, what did you do today? »
« I can't move, what can I do? I just played a game and read a book with this. Hehe. »
She smiled brightly and smiled bitterly as she looked at her younger sister who spoke while holding a tablet PC.
20 years old. Even at an age where you have to laugh and talk with your peers and be immature.
I lost my parents at a young age and was unable to move that far, so I grew old too quickly.
If I had been in pain, my heart would not have been hurting this much.
My stomach hurt.
» rice is? »
« I ate it because my aunt made it. Did you eat your brother? »
« What time is it, haven't you eaten? Then I'll change my clothes and come. »
« yea, I got it. »
Hyunseong who never shows a hard expression in front of his younger brother.
However, when he left the bedroom with his younger brother, he looked at the door with a bitter expression.
I don't express it, but how hard must it be for my younger brother? Still, I'm glad it seems to be getting better these days.
I shook my head to think more brightly than these gloomy thoughts.
Even in the daytime, he suffered such sorrow, but he couldn't bear it.
Even so, regret was unavoidable.
'I should have gotten into that car.'
The day my brother became like that.
The day a family fell into hell.
That day, Hyunsung lost his parents.
While driving, Hyuna and her parents collided with a truck that crossed the center line.
The parents who were sitting in the front row died on the spot.
Fortunately, Hyuna was able to survive, but she was unable to move her legs until now, even though she had no nerves, because of the blame for her parents' death because she had been eating out.
This map is still 6 years after the accident.
« Whoa. »
It was bittersweet.
Think about it.
A 14-year-old boy watched his parents die right before his eyes. That too, while she was driving in her car with a group of people who wanted to go out to eat.
A trauma that even an adult can't bear. How many people can just stand it? She must have been a huge shock to Hyuna, who was still a young 14-year-old. So is there any way to be okay? Rather, it is strange that it is normal.
'You say it's getting better though… …
Fortunately, I was able to open my eyes to the news I heard from the doctor a while ago.
The doctor said it was getting better.
Hyunseong was feeling it too.
At first, it was Hyuna who cried every day and blamed herself for saying that her parents died because of her.
But now I laugh and even quarrel with myself.
He was a child who always felt sorry for Hyunseong and couldn't speak well.
It wasn't that I didn't wear a tee for the sake of Hyunseong, I was able to get the feeling that it was really brightened up a lot.
Furthermore.
'I think that game has a lot to do with it.'
The doctor recommended it, so I let Hyuna play the game a year ago.
If they were her age, they would definitely like it, but at first, Hyuna didn't like it. She looked like she was giving her something like this because she was pretty.
However, after playing the game, the child brightened up a bit.
I'd say it's definitely a fun game.
'Didn't I say it was the best virtual reality game?'
A game idea using virtual reality that is larger than the size of the real earth.
It was already a game that people all over the world were passionate about because of its enormous scale that could not even be called another world rather than a virtual reality game.
It will be a year soon since it was released.
When Hyun-Sung bought Hyun-A's capsules, Hyun-Sung also bought her own capsules.
It cost a lot of money, but I never thought it was wasted money. Because it was that useful.
'I'll be the only one who buys a game capsule and sleeps without playing games.'
There was only one reason why Hyunseong bought the capsule.
This is because the time in reality and in the game is different. In reality, 1 hour has passed, but in the game, 5 hours have passed. I used this to get enough sleep.
Thanks to that, I've been using this dragon since the game was released, but I only used it to create characters and sleep in the game for a year without breaking the tutorial in the beginner's town.
'Still, it was well made.'
I usually only get 4-5 hours of sleep in real life, but I was able to sleep 20-25 hours in the game.
Besides, the fact that the sleeping time really worked was a big hit.
Thanks to that, I was able to not get tired at all for nearly a year after having been forced to endure it.
If it wasn't for this capsule, I would have been transported recently due to overwork.
Hyun-seong's workload was too much, but after work, it was his job to nurse Hyun-a until she fell asleep.
Even if Hyuna told her to go and rest because she was tired, it wasn't Hyunseong who would listen to her.
It still was.
« Are you going to sleep now? »
« Yeah, so you go to bed too. Oh, I must have been tired all the time. »
« Where are you lying all the time talking until dawn? »
Looking at her with her eyes raised, Hyuna trembles as if she's excited.
Hyun-seong looked at Hyun-a like that and smiled, then sat next to the bed and looked at Hyun-a and asked.
« Anything you need? »
« Yeah, isn't it? Rather, it's uncomfortable because my brother is always by my side these days. I am a grown woman now too! »
« How are you? »
« Hey, so please go and rest today. I also have a tablet PC, so I'll take care of myself. »
« Ugh. »
As Hyuna said, I was particularly tired today.
mind, not body.
« If something goes wrong, chime in. »
« Hey, no, I usually wear a handbell or something, so why is it Kwaenggwari? »
« So are you sure? » Usually, when something happens, they give a whistle or a notification device such as a handbell, but Hyunseong put Kwaenggwari next to him in a peculiar way.
Wouldn't it be clearer than a handbell or a whistle?
Hyuna smiled and nodded her head as if there was a point.
« Okay, so hurry up and get some rest. »
« Okay. Anyway, my brother always sets an external alarm and sleeps, so I'll go right away if it rings. Understand? If you ever want to go to the bathroom… …
« Oh my! Things I can't say to my sister
does not exist! Hurry up and get some rest?! »
« okay okay. »
When I see this, I think that I look just like my mother, and Hyunseong smiles and closes the door and leaves.
'I wonder if the game really works. I'm going to go to sleep soon.'
Instead of going to bed to sleep, Hyunseong headed to the capsule.
11 o'clock, which can be said to be too early to sleep. However, for Hyunseong, it was not too early to go to bed now. Even if you sleep now, you have to wake up at 6 o'clock to prepare breakfast, then wake up Hyuna to feed her and prepare herself for work.
After that, when the caregiver came, I could only go to work after making a request, so even if I sleep now, I barely meet the proper 7 hours of sleep.
'Are you going to sleep in bed today?'
Even if you sleep in bed, you can sleep for 7 hours today. There is no fatigue left in about 7 hours.
Normally, I would have fallen asleep rather than taking care of Hyuna, so it was normal to go to bed at 1 or 2 in the morning, but it is thanks to Hyuna that I can go to bed early.
Still, wouldn't it be better to sleep more if possible?
'If you sleep in a game, 7 hours is 35 hours, right? Oh my God.'
Of course, there is no effect of sleeping for 35 hours. Still, the effect of sleeping for at least 14 hours was achieved, so it was advantageous to sleep after logging in to the game.
As I was about to go inside the capsule, I remembered what I had heard last time.
'I think he said that he made a lot of money through games.'
idea.
As the world's best virtual reality game, its profits were no joke.
Now that it was recognized as an industry, not just a game, I could tell without saying how great the game was.
There were quite a few people who threw away the company and jumped into the idea.
'I'm sure the kids who start in the early days are like that.'
skill? I didn't think much of it. No matter what anyone said, Hyunseong was good at one game. Considering that his nickname in school was Junpro, he said it all.
At one time, he was so good at the game that he even got an offer to become a pro gamer.
If it wasn't for my parents' opposition when I was young, I probably wouldn't have become a pro gamer. He thought so.
But now, you shouldn't be thinking like that. Doesn't Hyunseong have Hyuna? Who else would take care of Hyun Ah? They are unscrupulous people with no relatives.
Hyunseong snorted as if it wasn't even funny and shook his head.
Besides, isn't that a story from when I was a kid? It's not too early now. Again how much time has passed
'Don't make noise, just log in and go to sleep.'
Having made up his mind, Hyunseong went inside the capsule and closed his eyes.
Then I felt a tingling sensation, and I heard a voice message.
[Recognizes the iris.]
[Player Hyunseong, would you like to access Idea?]
« Yes. »
When Hyeonseong answered, his body disappeared in an instant.
As if riding a roller coaster, it felt like my stomach was tickling, and at the same time it changed to the scenery I always see.
Beginner village where the character arrives first before breaking the tutorial.
Even though it was a village, there were no people except the current castle. It's like a room where you can just move characters and adapt to virtual reality.
However, there was no other inn like this in Hyunseong.
When I entered a house, it looked like an ordinary family house. Also, there were no NPCs. So Hyunseong went up to the second floor without hesitation and entered the room with the bed.
« Wow, this is delicious. »
Although it is a medieval house, furniture such as beds and sofas were overwhelmingly soft compared to beds and sofas in real houses.
After all, it's virtual reality, and you might think that something like this is only natural.
It was one of the reasons why Hyunseong had to sleep in the game.
« Ahhh, it was a really tiring day. You crazy manager Parker. »
It was Hyeonseong who talked to himself a lot as soon as he logged on to the game as it was a beginner village with no people. It was a place where there was no one, so there was no one to say anything even if I screamed.
« X, Ji, if it's a manager, then everything? The hair is off, huh. I heard that your wife had an affair, but it looks good. Ah, so that's why you're going to go with me today. »
There is no way you can say such a thing at home.
If Hyuna heard it, I would have been worried.
After muttering like that, as soon as he fell asleep, his voice gradually diminished, and a snoring sound resounded throughout the room.
« Dropping~ Kool~ Drooling~ Kool. »
how much time has passed
A message appeared in front of Hyeonseong, who was sleeping.
[You have slept more than 10,000 hours in the game.]
[You have changed to a descendant of the new-grade job Thananos.]
[You have acquired the job skill.]
[DP is added to the status window.]
[You have acquired the title 'The 10,000-hour rule'.]
[You have earned the title 'No, I didn't even start, but I was a former job?']
[Title 'Are you a legend? I'm a rookie'.]
[You have earned the title 'Professional Deep Sleeper']
In addition to that, quite a few messages appeared, but Hyunseong did not see it.
I slept without knowing even though those messages were ringing.
« Hmm? Fuck you, Manager Park. Hmm? »
