Chapter 1 – 1. Sales Coach Debut (1)

[The 1st generation virtual reality game arena supporter ‘Battle’ Jeong-soo Kim, retired from active duty

In December 2053, ‘Battle’ Kim Jeong-soo announced his retirement from active play. Kim Jeong-soo debuted as an arena pro gamer in 2050 and has been active as a first-generation pro gamer for four years.

He played the one-dealer position in Mad Tiger Gaming (MTG) for two years and the support position for the other two years.

4 Arena Champion League titles, 1 World Championship, 1 runner-up.
It was a record he had set for four years.
…

… ]

Finally, an article was posted on an Internet portal.
After looking at the article after wallowing around the house for the past few days, it was only now that I realized his retirement.

‘What am I doing now?’

It felt more empty than relieved.
It’s not because he left when he clapped at the top position, but because he retired after heating up the bench due to continued sluggishness.
In the end, after I left the team I had been with for four years, no team was looking for me as a player, manager, or coach.

Still, I had some money saved up.
Being a professional gamer is a job that you can quit at any time, and in most cases, it started and ended at a young age, so many players saved money for retirement.
I was the same case.

‘Should I open a PC room?’

After retiring as a pro gamer, he opened a PC (Personal Capsule) room.
It was a route chosen by many.
But I wasn’t really attracted to it.

Tiri-ri-ri-ri…

Just then, the cell phone rang.
I answered the phone unimpressed.

He must be one of the fellow gamers who got in touch after seeing the retirement article.
But the voice that came out of the phone was from an unexpected person.

[A long time.]
“……Father…?”

It was from my father, whom I hadn’t called since high school.

###

Phone company.

How did the company name ‘Fon’?
I think it is, but it is even more absurd when I see it in English.

Porn Company.
In other words, it was a porn company.

The largest porn company created after pornography was legalized in Korea.
It may be unbelievable, but it has a huge influence on the world beyond Korea… That’s a company

The president was ‘Kim Yong-dae’ and was my father.

“……”

I was in the middle of Seoul, where the price of the land I am standing on is over 100 million units.
And in front of my eyes is a building so tall that I can’t see the end even if I turn my head 180 degrees.

In front of the building, the stylishly created company mark catches the eye.

Porn Company

This huge object was Kim Yong-dae and his company.
I was standing in front of the phone company headquarters after receiving his call.

I passed the crowded lobby and stood in front of the information desk.
The guide asked with a bright smile.

“Hello. What could be the case?”
“Ah… I came to see President Kim Yong-dae.”

As he spoke, his face his hardened with tension.
It wasn’t a good relationship with President Kim Yong-dae because it was hard to see his face even before he left the house.

“Ah! You are Kim Jung-soo! I have been contacted by the boss. Come this way!”

The guide smiles and guides me into the building.
A secret elevator that is unavailable to ordinary employees and non-related people has appeared.
The elevator only had buttons for the top five floors.

Ding!

The elevator stops with a cheerful sound.
The guide and I made our way to the end of the old-fashioned hallway.

“President! Kim Jeong-soo is here.”
“Oh, come in.”

Click.

With the sound of the door opening, the receptionist withdrew.
I greeted you lightly and pushed the door open and went into the room by myself.
And finally, after more than four years, I got to see him.

“……”

A man who looked like a gorilla was standing with his back to a huge glass window overlooking the far below.
I said in a sullen voice.

“You still look healthy.”
Haha! At this age, you always have to take care of it.”

Slowly, he came towards me.
As the rice cake stand, which had a masculine face and looked three times taller than me, approached, I instinctively took a step back.

“You should do some exercise.”

I’ve never heard of anchovies anywhere, but wouldn’t it look like dried and twisted vegetables in front of him?

‘You’re too gigantic.’

“What’s the matter with the person you haven’t contacted so far?”
“Sit down for now.”

I followed his gesture and sat down on the sofa.
His figure caught my eye as he sat on the single-person sofa in the upper seat.

‘Isn’t the sofa bursting?’

I swallowed my words and met his eyes.

“You must have retired.”
“…Yes. You know. I thought you wouldn’t be interested…”
“……”

Disliking silence, he rarely stopped talking.

“No matter what anyone says, you are my child. It is only natural for a father to be interested in his children.”
“Okay? I know I’ve never been treated like a child.”
“…I’m really sorry about what happened when I was young.”

In a somewhat melancholy mood, I chewed my lips for a moment.

In fact, when I left the house today, I had guessed to some extent that I would apologize to him.
And he thought quite seriously about whether or not to accept his apology his.

As a child, he did not abuse me or abuse me as a child. It’s just that this man left his bastard alone because he could n’t even handle his passion his.

“I’m trying to be a parent even now… Will you accept it?”
“…I don’t know”

The feeling I felt for this man was resentment.
His mother his is dead, and his father his is present, but he cannot see his face his.
Virtual reality games were responsible for my crooked childhood.

Suddenly, I no longer needed my father in my life.
Now he had no reason to accept him even if he asked if he could try fathering him.

“After being successful, it’s only now that I can see something other than that, doesn’t it? We cannot undo what happened in the past.”
“……”

A man lost in thought at my words.
Soon after, he took out a wad of paper and placed it on the desk.

“I guess I was a little greedy. Let’s go slowly.”
“What is this?”
“This is the gaming team I am trying to run.”

Suddenly?
When I looked at him with a questioning face, he continued with a serious face.

“I’ve been watching you play games. He went to world competitions and was very successful. I was trying to make a gaming team in case you retire someday. Try growing it.”
“……”

The sudden offer shocked me, so I couldn’t say anything.
If you just nod your head here, will you become the owner of a gaming team?
I was unemployed until just now, and I was at a loss as to what to do with my life?

It was a sweet offer that I could not refuse, having dedicated my whole life to games.
Then he pushed the stack of papers towards me.

“This time, we made a new practice room and accommodation for the game team. And in the future, our company will become a sponsor and will continue to provide unlimited support. We have to put it up to at least the 1st division so that we can properly publicize it.”

Honey rice cake.
The saliva was swallowed on its own.

The existence of a strong and cooperative sponsor was the most important factor in running a gaming team.
In the third division, there were countless game teams that survived without sponsors.
If they don’t achieve results right away, they will close the game team after only one season.

“…It’s a bit burdensome.”

I felt like I was flying in the sky at the unconventional proposal, so my butt kept moving, but I managed to endure it and expressed my intention to refuse.

In fact, it was just the ‘virtue of refusal’. There is an atmosphere that has been built up so far to accept it, but don’t you look too deep?

Surely he will propose one more time. To relieve the guilt in his own heart his. Then you can just accept it as if it can’t be helped!

“Is that so?”

Sweep…

But contrary to my expectations, he took the papers in front of me again.
Involuntarily, I reached out and took his hand.

“…For a moment…”
“Why? Wasn’t it burdensome?”
“… Give me time to think. Father.”

I’m not wrong.
It was just an offer I couldn’t refuse.

###

I was deceived.

This was the thought I had after looking through the documents again in the lobby after the meeting with my father.
I also had to read the paperwork to the end and sign it.

‘What kind of gaming team did this crazy gorilla create?’

The contents of the document are absurd even to me, who has been a pro gamer for 4 years.

Professional gaming team, Pink Angels.

A professional gaming team in the 3rd division of Arena, a global game.

However, on this floor where hundreds of promising pro gamers pour out every day, it was an unusually female gaming team.

‘I really thought it was a gaming team for me, but in the end, it was a sacrifice for the noise marketing of a porn company that would get sick.’

Of course, unlike decades ago, being a professional gamer is no longer a job only for men.

Since the mainstream shifted from computer games to virtual reality games, the importance of physical strength, which was advantageous to men, has decreased. .

‘But that’s right, this is too revealing.’

However, the old-fashioned gaming team called Pink Angels, which was created by her father her, was clearly not a gaming team for grades.
In the documents my father gave me, there were profiles of five players belonging to the gaming team, and all of them had unusual appearances.

‘…I have to change the players first.’

The in-game tier of the players listed below the picture is also poor.
I couldn’t even call myself a pro gamer. It just seems like a collection of pretty normal women.

Since he said he would leave all the management to me anyway, it would be possible to re-pick the players.
If you need a girl who is pretty even if she dies to promote the company, leaving supporters behind is probably the way to go.
It doesn’t have to be all five of them, right?

Having a positive mind, I went home.
And I went to sleep thinking about my future plans all night.

I can’t imagine that all the plans I’ve made will go to waste…

[Start the sell coach system.]

[Sell female pro gamers and develop them into top players!]

“What is this again… “

When I woke up in the morning, something unbelievable happened.
Clearly, I wasn’t even in a virtual reality game, but there was a translucent window floating in front of my eyes.

Moreover, the letters written there were beyond common sense.

“What is a selling coach?”
