Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 112: Go to work! (2)

In the story, Hwang-hee asked to resign more than ten times, but Sejong unethically ordered him to work until he died.

Whenever Hwang-hee asked for resignation due to health problems, Sejong ordered him to work from home. When he asked for resignation, he sent a kiln to the palace. He even sent officials to Hwang-hee's house to handle paperwork even as he lay on his deathbed, so the poor man really did work until he died.

'Fuck...'

I could definitely say that this was a similar situation.

It felt like Kim Hyunsung was trying to make me conform. If his kingdom grew, and he left his name in history, it would be clear that my name would also be mentioned next to his.

Albeit, I would be known as the stupid guy who overworked himself to death.

However, this didn't mean that I would be left with nothing. Like Hwanghee, who Sejong favored until the end, despite committing various corruptions, I will also be able to gain unprecedented power

'Ah, power...

My position within the guild had completely shifted.

Of course, my original position wasn't low, per se, but now? Now, I had gained enough power to control the guild itself.

'The only problem is that I wouldn't have the time to enjoy that power...

Considering that most of the positions entrusted to me were only temporary, I knew this would soon be resolved. However, I also knew that handling the administrative systems within Blue was a very important job to be given.

With this, I had come to realize that, once again, Kim Hyunsung was placing his trust in me. I knew that the other guild members also saw this and would now try to establish themselves in front of him.

Still, my job title would always be weighty.

Blue was not big, but it would reward me for all my work. I had become the person who would receive the most salary among everyone else, even more than Guild Master Kim Hyunsung himself.

The annual salary I received when I first came here was 10,000 gold, and with less than a year passing by, it had multiplied by 12 times, perhaps even higher.

Of course, the reality is that this would not be enough. The real problem lay in the fact that Blue's current status meant that I wouldn't be able to receive my full salary. Though my payroll had risen, it would be impossible to receive it so long as the guild was still in a crisis. This was due to financial and manpower shortages.

'Alright, first things first...'

I knew I had to start with those two first.

As I read the report placed in front of me, I heard a voice speak up.

"Lee Kiyoung, this is a report from the Damage Countermeasure Committee."

"Leave it on my desk. I'll take care of what we're doing now and check it out right after. Oh, and if you're free, would you please call Jeong-yeon?"

"That... Hwang Jeong-yeon says she has something to do..."

"Yeah? I'm sure she just decided to take a break."

"She says something urgent has come up."

'She definitely ran away.'

I shouldn't have believed her when she said she was going to take a break. I had only been here for a day, yet I've lasted even longer.

However, I had to admit that she had made things easier, seeing as she had sorted out all the documents that had been piled up. This was a world that struggled without the existence of computers.
