Chapter 357 – Episode 357

Aram?

At that moment, I was alone at home, and as I was making a dumbfounded expression, wondering if this was something strange, a woman’s voice mysteriously rang in my ears.

[Ah. Fuck! I thought you were looking around out of frustration. How many restrictions have been placed just because the world’s principles have been slightly distorted? It took a year to get here?]

[If it wasn’t for the real fucking Yasura who showed it often, I wouldn’t have been able to endure it and would have ended up killing myself. Fuck you.]

The name is so pure, like it appears in a story.

The words that come out of his mouth are enough to slap the face of even the most abusive man.

No, rather…

“Could it be that you are the one who gave me the quest?”

[Yes. Master! No, yes. Hello, master.]

[My name is Aram, a Super Ultra Megaton Special supporter. He is the one who went against the laws of the world and ran around here and there trying to change his master’s life.]

“…”

I pinched my cheek slightly.

Could it be that I was just dreaming? A bit like that. Actually, I got into a car accident and am I lying in the hospital room, and the doctors are sad to see me in a state of sleep.

‘Right now, Hyunwoo, you are having a very long dream. Stop and get out of that dream!’

… He might be grabbing my shoulder and shaking me.

Mom and Dad are shedding tears in front of him.

[What kind of bullshit is this? How can this be a dream?]

[Do you think your imagination is that great? All the people who exist in this world are deviating from the master’s imagination. How can this be the master’s dream?]

“Fuck. If it’s reality, it’s just as it is.”

The person who changed my life and gave me a quest was this abusive bitch?

[Uh huh. Shu~Pa supporter, please call me Aram.]

“What on earth are you…”

[Ah. For a moment! What I can reveal is that I am the one who changed the master’s life. His name is Aram. And the only thing I can say is that I can have a conversation with the owner in the future. Because they are twisting the rules of the world, there are restrictions of one kind or another.]

“Restrictions? To whom?”

[Who would it be?]

Aram spoke calmly, but the content contained therein was absolutely insignificant.

[It is God.]

* * *

It’s really crazy.

I couldn’t even believe that this was reality and not a dream.

“Okay, let’s say it’s something else.”

[Yes.]

“Can you tell me just one thing?”

[You have to tell me what it is.]

I asked in a more serious manner than ever.

“Why was it me?”

I wanted to know this much.

The number of people currently living in this world is a whopping 8.012 billion. I had to know why I was chosen among so many people.

Otherwise, I couldn’t believe that I won with odds of 1 in 8 billion.

No, wait a minute.

“Is this power given only to me?”

Wouldn’t it be understandable if it was the power that not only me but others also received?

But isn’t the world too quiet for that? Or are other guys slowly going through the process of growth through quests like me?

[Ruler! Sleep, sleep! Stop suffering alone. My head is pounding. It feels like my bones are going to break soon after I wake up. I will explain the parts that can be explained while running in a virtual space.]

[First, one of the significant increases in the probability of the owner being selected is none other than the fact that he is ‘Korean.’]

“Why are you Korean?”

[Yes!]

Aram answered with excitement or pride.

[Because it was Koreans who created me.]

“… “What?”

[Is it okay to talk about this much? To be precise, the future Korean created me. Therefore, the person chosen to be my master had to be Korean. In fact, the probability is already greatly reduced there.]

[Because my creator wanted to have only Koreans as masters.]

[And secondly, only the current master possesses the power to bend the laws of this world. There are no two Arams in the past or the future. This body, alone.]

[Well, I can’t explain everything in detail because of restrictions, but it is such an important power. It’s such great power. I think the master has already experienced with his own body how great this power is for a year.]

Aram whispered as if tempted by the devil.

[It’s the power that changed the master’s life.]

“…”

[There’s no way you could give that much power to just anyone, right? After picking and choosing, the owner was chosen. Now, there must be a lot of questions here, right? Even if the category is narrowed down to Koreans, it is still a fairly large population. Was the owner chosen from there?]

[If I had to tell you one reason, it’s because the master’s personality is great.]

“I? “Toughness?”

I thought it was the most absurd thing I’ve ever said.

There are people far and wide in this world who are much kinder and better than me. But, you received this power because you have great character?

[I passed because I already think of myself that way. Also, it is difficult to find someone with consistently great character from the beginning.]

[But it’s not okay to just be too nice.]

[Well, lastly, I’m going to overdo it a bit. Cough, fuck… !]

Aram spoke with the sound of vomiting blood somewhere.

[The first purpose of coming to my master is to prevent the destruction of the world. And the second is Korea’s innovative prosperity.]

* * *

I feel like I just watched a movie somewhere.

[It can’t be a movie, right? For fear of sounding unrealistic, I calmly handed you small quests for a year to let you experience my power?]

“I’m really going to go back.”

[Oh, it’s cute, my master.]

Are you telling me to save the world?

Furthermore, Korea’s innovative prosperity?

It is said that a mature tree can be recognized from its cotyledons.

Until last year, I was a part-time worker at a convenience store, and even though I gained this much power through quests, there is no way I could perform such an important mission as I have only just joined a large company.

It wouldn’t have been better if it had been given to someone like Oh Hanam or Han Aebom.

[Sigh, you repeat the same thing over and over again.]

[It is such an important power.]

Aram’s voice was more serious than ever.

[But damn it, would you give such important power to just anyone? You idiot!]

“…”

[Stop self-deprecating. Huh, no. Please stop it. Was it actually counterproductive for me to appear at this time? No, this timing is the best. On the contrary, I think it would be a bit shitty to show up too late and end up conceited.]

[The owner will know when he sees it. I am not an ordinary being.]

[He’s a crazy supporter who can even slightly overstep God’s rights. Although it may not be 100%, you are the one who made the choice by running a simulation that is close to 100%. Master Hyunwoo Kim, it’s you.]

“…”

[Think about it carefully.]

[Human perfection is ultimately achieved through the process of growth. People who think their master is that great. Did those humans start talking at the age of one, drop meteorites, and turn the world upside down?]

“No, that’s impossible.”

[It’s the same. Just because you are behind those people now, there is no guarantee that you will be behind them until the end. And as I said before, those people are beings who failed the test of humanity a long time ago.]

“What?”

[Ugh. Since the owner is close to them, he only sees their good side every time.]

[If you look at them, they are perfect businessmen themselves. I’m not saying their personality is trash, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t be considered good.]

[Why would the first purpose I mentioned be to prevent the destruction of the world? That’s because the world that the Creator who created me wants is definitely not a world created by the hands of such businessmen.]

[The Creator wants it.]

[As a Korean myself, I want Korea to do well, but nevertheless, I want to create a world where people around the world can spend happy days centered around Korea… Cough.]

Aram remained silent for a moment with the sound of blood vomiting again.

As I pondered Aram’s words, I felt my heart beating louder than ever.

“Is it me who plays such a great role?”

Not anyone else.

Is it me?

[Yes. It’s you.]

My heart felt like it was going to explode.

* * *

[Ironically, a plan so grand that it shakes the world can go astray with just the slightest mistake.]

[In that sense, the master’s slow progress can actually be said to be a perfect development.]

[Daegi-manseong (大器晩成)]

[If you want to make a large bowl, it takes a long time. Surprisingly, there are not many people who can perform this. Especially for people in today’s era.]

I guess I’m just slow because I’m an asshole.

Well, Aram told him to stop belittling himself, so he should stop belittling himself too much. As she said, you never know what happens to people.

Maybe I can really become someone who can turn this world upside down.

[That means so.]

[In that sense, the master’s start begins in earnest.]

“Hmm.”

In many ways, it’s not a bad thing to say.

What can I say?

[We will inform you about UL Soft’s new employee training.]

[Course name: 2025 ULSoft new employee training]

[Schedule: It is a 3-week course, and free entry and exit is possible on weekends.]

After completing the health checkup, I received the news that I was finally accepted to UL Soft.

I can’t imagine that I, who is just leaving for new employee training, could become that kind of person. No matter how long-term it is, it is the same.

At this level, it seems like you can barely memorize the multiplication tables at the age of 10, right?

[Hey, let’s not talk, you idiot.]

[It’s just that the true nature of the idiot is engraved on his body. Well, I haven’t asked you to trust me already, and it would be a disaster if you already showed such a great side. This is correct.]

[In that sense, take the quest.]

No sooner had Aram finished speaking.

A new message window appears in front of me.

[Let’s become friends with our classmates. (Condition: Raise each person’s favorability to 70 or higher)]

[0/1]

[Reward: Stamina +1, low level English skill]

[There are three subjects in total. Shin Jeong-seok of the planning team, Park Geung-jeong of the global business division, and Jegal Ye-eun of the AI ​​​​​technology division.]

Is the reward a bit too salty?

[I’ve been giving it out all this time!]

[But that doesn’t mean we need money now.]

“In the meantime, why do I have energy?”

[The higher your stamina, the more attractive women become. Looking at those ugly faces is the joy of my life, hehe.]

“…”

This bitch, maybe she just picked me because I like sex so much?

Seriously, it might be so.

By the way.

[Currently, Shin Jeong-seok’s favorability rating for his master is 34.]

[Currently, Zhuge Ye-eun’s favorability rating for his master is 42.]

They say that even if your likeability rating is 500,000, you are at least as good as a co-worker.

Even if this is true for these two people.

[Currently, Park Geung-jeong’s favorability rating for the owner is 20.]

Is this right for this guy?

‘I can’t believe the people I talked to there passed the exam side by side. ‘Maybe this could be a good motivation?’

You, who said that, shouldn’t have a lower affinity for me than Shin Jeong-seok, you bastard.
