Chapter 500
And the story that followed as a result shocked the whole world without a break.
[Next breaking news. Dex, known as a famous gamer in the world, has recently successfully cleared Arcadia\'s final chapter scenario, created a new legend, and has become a major shareholder of Arcadia. For the first time, the secret identity of Dex was revealed. It was revealed that he was only a 23-year-old college student, and the whole world literally fell into a panic
. Jae-young became the largest shareholder with a 15% stake. When his identity was revealed to the world, the fact that he was just an ordinary petit bourgeois at such a young age and without any special background was enough to become a huge story.
-and. crazy
-A college student who didn\'t even go to the military is the major shareholder of Arcadia. life is really unfair
-Honestly, Dex has to admit it. No one can imitate that physical or skill itself.
-Age, fame, fortune, face... I really have it all.
- Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex!
- I heard that the university also has a virtual reality engineering department at Seomin University? The head looks good too.
Jaeyoung has lived a very ordinary and quiet life. However, the public went wild when they saw him achieve great achievements that no one else had achieved through talent alone.
-Seomin University, a school coveted by talented people from all over the world. The competition rate for the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering is about 270,000:1.
-Iplus Co., Ltd. is expanding to the world. Announcement of roadmap to grow into a global MCN company.
-Elvin Klein screaming at the absurd amount of orders. 4Q sales expected to rise 1200%.
-Black trend ruling the earth. Who are they who are crazy about black?
Everything that has anything to do with Jaeyoung is phenomenal, showing a frighteningly steep growth rate and becoming a trend and fad. Jae-young, who has lived a quiet life to the extent that no corner can be found even if he tries to open it, has gained a tremendous influence that is not enviable as that of a celebrity, but his basic disposition has not changed at all.
“no, I do not want.”
Jae-Young expresses his intention to reject it very resolutely. In response to his answer, CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked with a puzzled face.
“Why? As a major shareholder with a stake in Arcadia Co., Ltd., I think it is natural to basically rise to the position of director and participate in and receive reports on major situations in overall management.”
Normally, it wouldn\'t be strange to get down on your knees and beg to promote me to an executive position. In particular, the executive position of Arcadia Co., Ltd., where you can enjoy all kinds of enormous welfare and benefits at an almost preferential level beyond the annual salary of tens of billions of dollars, was something that all office workers envy and only dream of.
By the way...
Jaeyoung says he\'ll give you that seat for free, but he doesn\'t like it. As I returned the employment contract without signing it, he said he wasn\'t interested at all.
“Why would I covet an executive position that I am not interested in? He doesn’t have to worry about money anyway, and he doesn’t want to be noticed in front of reporters or people.”
An executive who has tremendous authority and influence and is officially responsible for various tasks for Arcadia Co., Ltd. However, Jae-young, who has no interest or interest in such a company, firmly rejected the offer without even thinking about it.
“If you have a job for me, just promote the hard-working employee under you. There are already a lot of people who went through all sorts of hardships because of that crazy developer, but I can’t take that position away from me.”
Jae-young tells him not to think about parachuting himself and just take care of the internal staff. At his words, President Lee Mi-yeon nodded and murmured.
“I see... I understand what that means.”
However, he frowned and said as if he was troubled.
“But it is still difficult. The reason why I want to entrust a Jaeyoung student to the directorship of Arcadia Co., Ltd. is because only a Jaeyoung student can do it.”
“yes? Is it something only I can do...?”
Jae-young tilts her head at President Lee Mi-yeon\'s words and asks again. However, the person who answered the question was Jack, not CEO Lee Mi-yeon.
[Exactly what ‘Dex\' can do.]
“Jack...?”
A smiling Jack appears on the screen.
He waved to Jaeyoung, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression, his golden eyes shining, and continued explaining.
[I explained it once when I handed over the stake to you last time, but that damn kid and you guys made a truck of shit... No, it\'s just a mountain, so you know that Arcadia\'s balance itself is shit right now, right?] “What about that
. ....”
A world teeming with all sorts of heroes and rare villains who might appear once every hundreds of years.
And what was happening all over the world was such a mess that people who saw it for the first time couldn\'t help but be astonished at what kind of shit this was.
[Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!]
A continent teeming with all kinds of slimes, starting with super-giant slimes.
[What is the most important thing to a wizard? It is a powerful force that can crush the head in one blow!]
With wizards who revere power, wield iron bars, and devote themselves to training in sweat.
[Did you hear the news recently? That Gigas or something that mass-produces a new combat artifact? They say you can easily deal with tens of thousands of elite troops with just one.]
[Do you know how much it costs? If that\'s the case, why not just buy 10 magic flying boats?]
Medieval fantasy settings mixed with sci-fi thrown in the trash and magical engineering.
[The great Mother of all things said, In the future, those who recklessly dishonor nature will be completely crushed by the roots.] The
World Tree has gone beyond self-defense and has become too militant and aggressive.
[Black!]
Even crazy sexual predators who openly expose their black panties...
Arcadia is littered with all sorts of unanswered questions that would make you dizzy if you listed them one by one.
But all of that, even Jack couldn\'t do anything about it.
[The endings of stories that have already been created and completed cannot be changed even if I want to change them. In fact, no matter how I think about how to deal with this, it seems like shit to the point where there is no answer other than a complete initialization.] The
current Arcadia created and built by infinite freedom and infinite possibilities.
It was the current reality that you could not hastily intervene in it, but you could not just watch it.
[To be honest... Do you think the executives and employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. have become comfortable now that the final chapter scenario is over? no. I\'m walking around coughing up blood to the extent that I can\'t even compare it to before.]
Numerous variables that have already spread to the extent that the number can\'t be counted.
And because of those variables, hundreds of thousands... no, tens of thousands of main scenarios were being created and disappeared by billions of adventurers who were messing around with this and that, even if it wasn\'t Jaeyoung.
“Aaaaaaaaaaa! please! Please stop! Stop beeping!”
“Fuck! I will not! can not! How to handle this! I will write my resignation letter!”
“Kill...
. Jaeyoung, who had seen their pain, despairing moans and screams as they passed by, asked Jack with a puzzled look on his face.
“So... what do you want to say?”
“It\'s simple. We want to continue what we have been doing.”
“yes....?”
[It\'s kind of like an adjuster. Using your influence and power, this world I created is a mess that is worse than this... So let\'s find some sort of balance so that it doesn\'t flow into the more serious dung mangem you are talking about.] No one dares
to Dex has become the absolute ruler of Arcadia and the strongest adventurer, possessing unparalleled influence and power.
Using him, who always produces the best results with extraordinary methods and strategies that no one thought of, Jack and President Lee Mi-yeon wanted to prevent the worst ending in countless stories that would continue to happen in the future.
“So... In other words, you\'re saying that I have to step up to Arcadia\'s board of directors and legally intervene in the game?”
“Yes. Until now, Jaeyoung and I have been dealing with such matters under the contractual relationship of being secret friends.
President Lee Mi-yeon said that she could do the same thing as before. However, she took out a sheet of the thick contract and pointed her finger at the part where the astronomical salary was written.
“With reasonable pay.”
“Isn’t this... illegal?”
“It cannot be denied that intervening in the situation in the game with a character that Jaeyoung raised himself, not an account randomly created by the management company, could lead to ethical disputes, but there was no legal problem. We have already completed thorough legal consultation through the in-house legal team.”
“...I have thoroughly prepared.”
[Hey, look at our circumstances. To be honest, there is no way for me to clean up the shit scattered in Arcadia other than leaning on you. Jack shook his head as if he was dizzy
just thinking about it.] He let out a deep sigh and shook his head. And joining him, President Lee Mi-yeon asked again with a very pitiful expression.
“How... don’t you want to think about it again? Jaeyoung student?”
The look in his eyes conveyed a strong will to please do not refuse this request.
However, Jaeyoung, who was lost in thought, shook his head as if he couldn\'t do it.
“Sorry, but I can’t sign this contract.”
“Is that so...”
President Lee Mi-yeon’s complexion darkens with a sullen expression at Jae-young’s final declaration of refusal. But Jaeyoung smiled at her and said.
“But I\'ll let you do that.”
“yes....? So what does that mean...?”
“It was something I was doing from the beginning, but there is no reason to sit down and take care of it in the position of director, right? I don\'t want to get tangled up in my seat and I don\'t want to see old men bow down to me. It\'s uncomfortable and I\'m suffocating.”
Jaeyoung is very comfortable in her current way of quietly living her life in seclusion.
That\'s why he said to President Lee Mi-yeon, who looked at him with surprised eyes.
“So... as a secret friend, what else do you want me to help you with?”
“Student Jaeyoung...”
CEO Lee Miyeon looked at her with a look that seemed deeply moved by something. After staring at the two smiling at each other for a long time, Jack sighed and said:
[Hey... the picture of the two of them is really nice to look at, but can we urgently turn off the lights right now?
] I have a meeting, look at my mind.”
“So... what am I supposed to do?”
President Lee Mi-yeon hurriedly leaves the office while checking the time with a blushing face as if embarrassed, and Jae-young asks what to do with a puzzled expression. And after the meeting in such a subtle atmosphere, Jae-young went back to the old and worn-out room.
Another perfect reality and virtual world.
To start a new adventure to Arcadia.
[Welcome to the fantasy world of Arcadia.]
The End.
[Author\'s Note]
Hello readers.
Let\'s eat dumplings.
This is the first time I\'ve officially greeted you like this.
First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the readers who have been with Jaeyoung\'s story until the end. Without you, I think I would have given up halfway through.
Actually, this work was before I went to the army... To be precise, it was a story I wanted to write from the moment I wrote the episode where Minsu created Arcadia in the previous work, ‘Long live the main character!\'
Exactly in episode 144, I mentioned the story in the words of the writer in Daldongne, so it was an idea I had in December of 2018. So, I intentionally created a time to make this next work, even while making a blank period of two years for the previous work. It was a lot more planned than I thought.
However, I had no choice but to start writing in earnest only in September of 2020 because I was returning from the military. Many people forgot the previous work because the time between the two works was too long, but I am grateful to all those who somehow knew about it, visited it, remembered it, read it, and even commented on it. I was so proud of the fact that they recognized and mentioned the parts I intended and worried about like a ghost.
Of course, there were also difficult times.
A lot of people quit halfway, there were no comments, and there were times when I felt like I was writing alone. However, I believe that I was able to complete the long journey of 500 episodes without giving up because there were precious people who listened to my concerns, supported me, and sincerely read and enjoyed my work.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all of them.
Especially the editor who accepted my whining.... You really worked hard.
I\'ve never had a conversation with you, but I\'d also like to thank the person in charge of Naver who was in charge of my work.
And personally, I am very grateful to the reader and writer Oh Sorok, who sincerely liked and enjoyed my work. The teacher\'s sincere support and encouragement gave me great strength.
Other than that, to the countless people who can\'t mention it because they didn\'t get permission.
thank you
I think I can praise myself and be proud of the fact that I have never taken a break and maintained the series 5 days a week and have come this far. I think it will remain and be remembered forever as a legacy and achievement in my life. Of course, it\'s not that good compared to other people, but it\'s not that good.
Thank you to all of my own Kim Readers who have been with me on the journey of this lacking and clumsy novice writer Mandu and who have loved the story of Jaeyoung.
(It seems like there aren\'t really many of them...? Where have they all gone!)
Actually, my world view integration isn\'t over yet.
The poop and butterfly effect created by Minsu is just the beginning.
There are at least three more works of Minsu Universe that will be conceived in the future.
(It does include Minsu\'s version of the story that went into fantasy.)
I\'ll have a short break, but I don\'t think it will take too long.
In the future, I will come back once again with better news, and I will come back eating dumplings once again with my next work.
I wish you always be happy, and I\'m going to rest now.
Lastly.....
Mandu is now free! It\'s liberation!!!
