The Novel's Extra (101-200)

Chapter 151 - Three Years (5)

Creator's Sacred Grace, guild leader's office.

Kim Suho and Yi Yeonghan were sitting in front of Yun Seung-Ah. However, all three parties present seemed to have their own worries as their expressions weren't good.

"Here, it's the official application form."

Yun Seung-Ah initiated the conversation as she put two application forms on the table. Kim Suho and Yi Yeonghan picked up the forms simultaneously.

[Creator's Sacred Grace Application Form]

Starting salary of 400 million won plus performance-based benefits.

Compared to the 150~200 million won salary average Cube graduates received, it was a hefty amount, especially considering Creator's Sacred Grace's current situation.

"Oh?"

Yi Yeonghan's expression brightened. He seemed to have had monetary worries.

However, Kim Suho was the opposite. He looked more worried than anything at the high salary he was offered.

Creator's Sacred Grace has been in the red for a while. This was something most of the public knew because of the numerous articles that popped up daily. Creator's Sacred Grace suffered astronomical punitive damage in lawsuits and settlements to wounded or killed victims of their failed Tower campaign. To make up for their losses, they had to conquer at least 30 small Dungeons.

"...It might not be enough, but this is the best we can do."

Yun Seung-Ah misunderstood Kim Suho's expression.

In truth, Creator's Sacred Grace's budget was at its limit. Not only could they not afford to give out any more, some of the amount that was offered also came out of Yun Seung-Ah's pocket.

"No, it's fine."

"I'm happy too with this amount."

Kim Suho didn't say anything in consideration of Yun Seung-Ah's pride, and Yi Yeonghan signed the form satisfied.

"Great... then you can go take a look at your assigned offices."

"Yes!"

"...Yes."

Kim Suho and Yi Yeonghan left, and Yun Seung-Ah was left alone in her office.

"Haa."

She let out a deep sigh.

Money. Money. Money.

This word continued to haunt her from all directions. She never thought money would be a problem she had to face, but the amount of debt she incurred in the past two years was 5 billion won.

"My net worth used to be 5 billion won...."

Yun Seung-Ah laughed self-mockingly and picked up her phone. She no longer hesitated to make calls to borrow money. Her pride was long gone from all the bank trips she had to make in the past two years. Rather than worrying about today, she was more concerned with figuring out how to survive the next day.

Tiriring—

—Hello?

"...Hello? Unni?"

—Oh, what's up?

"It's me, Yun Seung-Ah."

—I know.

"Ha, haha, right."

Yun Seung-Ah laughed awkwardly.

After hesitating for a bit, she chose the easy way out.

"How have you been doing lately?"
