There Was a Porter Who Would One Day Be Called a Prophet

255 – Meeting

The world is full of all kinds of games, but there is only one game that Alba points out in front of you.

A warrior’s story.

The reason why she came across the game where she saw the ending a while ago was because of a text message she sent.

I opened my mouth as I was waiting for an answer with bright eyes.

“That dragon head….”

“It’s a complete god game, right?”

Conflicting evaluations came out from the mouths of me and the part-time worker.

“Yo, dragon head….”

A part-time worker whose complexion turns pale and even stutters after receiving a fairly harsh evaluation. Is this something that should be so shocking?

When I thought about it, I thought it might be enough to do business with customers.

“I guess you like that game a lot?”

Then the answer came back from the other side in a very dejected voice.

“That’s because I’m the CEO of the company that made that game…”

‘Oh, I see. If you are a representative, what can you do? What?’

I think I just heard something I couldn’t understand.

“Why is someone like that here…?”

“Are you working part-time at a convenience store?”

The part-time worker let out a sigh, left her counter, walked over to where her drinks were displayed, and took out a drink filled with white liquid.

It was a drink only consumed by typical drinkers named evening moonlight.

“Most of the profits are used to pay off debt, so there is no room for money… I wonder why it takes so much money to make a game… Ugh.”

-Beep.

In the meantime, it looks like they are making thorough calculations and opening the lid.

“Puh-ha~ The advertisement I’m currently running was barely made with the money I saved after working for half a year.”

Then, the part-timer empties all the drinks on the spot.

How serious is the company’s finances that the CEO goes to work at a convenience store?

‘For some reason, half a year has passed since it was released and bugs have been fixed without any DLC or follow-up updates.’

That moment when I was shocked for a very realistic reason.

“Then about here!”

-Pang!

The part-time worker suddenly hits the counter with his hand and brings his face closer.

“Let’s have a 1:1 meeting with users!”

“…Suddenly?”

“For the first time in a story about a hero! It’s official! It’s a meeting~!”

I was dumbfounded by the way they talked about the meeting, saying they would accept endless feedback.

“I’m sorry, but I have an appointment so I have to go quickly…”

“For your information, we will also give away some prizes at the end of the meeting!”

She waved the card in her hand and spoke as if she was benevolent.

Don’t offer other people’s items as products.

“Stop playing around and give it back to me quickly.”

-Poof.

When I reached for her card, she quickly pulled me into her arms and opened her mouth.

“I said I’ll give it to you when it’s over?”

The part-timer, who was making a pouty expression and sticking out her lips as if she was dissatisfied with me doing this, curled up the corner of her mouth as if she remembered something.

“Now, if you can take it somewhere, take it.”

She put the card in the pocket on her chest and held it out to me.

‘I’m really f*cking pissed.’

I don’t know why, but it seems like he knows me very well. Since simple assault is a misdemeanor rather than s*xual harassment, should we just beat it up?

-Wow.

When I saw her majestically placing her hands on her waist, I unconsciously tightened my fists.

‘What am I thinking now…’ . ‘Be patient, be patient.’

You’re trying to commit violence over something like this. I’m not someone from the Middle Ages.

I shook my head and said that it wasn’t like me, and since there was no other way, I decided to match the rhythm over there.

‘Anyway, what should I ask? I don’t really have any questions… ah.’

The question I had been hearing throughout the game flashed.

“Why doesn’t the goddess do anything?”

“Eh…?”

“Well, they didn’t do anything to intervene and just stood by. If you sum up the whole story, this is it. Have a hero’s party.”

“…Aren’t you summarizing too much?”

The part-time worker timidly protested in a hushed voice.

Why are you making such a fuss when you talk about the goddess?

“When I looked at it, there wasn’t even a separate name, just goddess, goddess. They just praised it with ignorance. Just look at the Holy Kingdom part and it’s the same. When the main camp was all eaten up, they shined a halo on the saint and it was over.”

“Well, when a divine being appears, the difficulty level goes uphill and there is no choice…”

“Don’t you think there is no conscience in talking about the difficulty level of a game that is a hero’s one-tool in the latter half of the game?”

“That part is based on historical research…”

A part-time worker wiggles his fingers with a sullen look.

When I saw that, I felt something familiar. Even though no one around me has such habits.

Just when I felt like I was forgetting something very important, the other person spoke up.

“Well, according to the setting, for some reason, I’ve been consuming a lot of my power and I’m gathering my power again…”

The answer she gave was ugly and unofficial.

“You were like that until you caught the demon lord? That was completely incompetent….”

“Please, can we move on to the next question?…”

He is crying as if he heard something himself.

What is it? Is the goddess even your favorite character?

“Then what is the final Demon King battle? The Four Heavenly Kings I faced before that were all crazy in terms of patterns and impacts, but the Demon King was all roughly pieced together. Even that didn’t fit together smoothly, so most of the time I just got hit. “

Then the part-time worker avoided eye contact and muttered.

“It’s actually unfinished…”

“Yes…?”

After hearing from the person involved why the final match of the game was so bad, I was completely dumbfounded.

“No, so you’re saying that you sold a game that wasn’t even made yet for the full price of 64,800 won?”

“I guess it could be said that there was nothing we could do because there was no information…”

Then, the Four Heavenly Kings were created with information? That doesn’t even seem like something to say.

“Well, I paid attention to even the smallest details while making it…”

She is trying to persuade people to look at the forest, not the trees.

A sudden thought occurred to me, but it seemed very sad to see the CEO holding on to people passing by and doing this. Are you saying this is a problem for developers?

“Well, developing a game is not easy, so it’s inevitable that there will be some regrets…”

“Oh, I’m telling you in case you misunderstand, but I’m a scenario writer, not a developer. I just gave instructions that this place should be made like this.”

You were the root of all evil.

Now I see that there is no devil. So you said you screwed up the final match?

What is the crime of the developers who went out of their way to implement so many functions?

“Then the employees won’t be angry?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. You are all my loyal followers…”

“Shinto?”

“…No! It’s because your loyalty to the company is so special…!”

A part-timer who hastily excuses himself and moves on.

Shindo. Contrary to what he appears to be, he appears to be a black businessman who is squeezing his employees.

“But most of them left the company they originally worked for.”

“Well, I guess you could say that I joined the company against our company’s motto…”

“What is the company motto?”

“Uh… God Bless You…?”

When I heard that, I was at a loss for words.

The game I bought was released after drinking human blood.

“Is this refundable?”

“If you’ve played for more than two hours, I think that part will be difficult, sir…”

The more I know, the more times I have stuck my tongue out at an operation that has no answer.

“Well, except for that part, it’s a good job.”

“Right!?”

A part-time worker who trembles and is happy to hear a compliment from my mouth for the first time.

“I went through so much trouble to come over here to make this…”

Now I’m even bursting into tears and wiping the corners of my eyes.

Is that really that good?

“The NPCs too, they are all so lively…”

“Doesn’t it feel like it’s alive?”

In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

I was definitely a part-time worker who was foolish, but what can I say now? Should I say that it seems like a being that can embrace everything?

“You can have a variety of interactions with the characters that appear in the game. From small errands that you don’t have to wake up to to the main story that becomes the core of the game.”

She smiled bitterly and muttered to herself.

“It seems like everyone is more concerned about things like levels and items than those things.”

Her appearance like that seemed as if she had disappointed her users.

“She doesn’t find a home for a child who is lost and crying alone, or share the food she has with someone who is starving to death.”

In reality, when you play a game, there are people who ask for something from time to time.

“But the problem is that the arrangement is vicious. The reason there is no compensation also plays a part.”

Not only is it an event that only appears during a time-limited quest or when the inventory is empty after a boss battle, but even if you complete the quest, it does not even give you common experience points, let alone goods.

Because it was just a few lines saying thank you, there was a strong perception among users that if they listened, they were being generous.

Then the part-time worker looked at me intently.

“Then why did you grant that request?”

“Yes?”

“Think about it. Is it possible for a child who got tired of crying and ate all the candy he had, or a person who suffered from hunger and quenched his thirst with rain, to properly repay the child? Also, is his pocket full? Can the favor shown by someone who has a car and someone who has nothing be considered to have the same value?”

“That’s right….”

It’s a bit embarrassing when a philosophical question like this suddenly comes up.

“You can’t answer.”

As I kept her mouth shut, she suddenly started smiling.

“On the one hand, I’m relieved. You don’t need a specific reason to help someone, right?”

Her face, which had been filled with disappointment just now, was suddenly replaced by a feeling of relief.

“Hayoon 123.”

I couldn’t help but be shocked by the part-timer’s next words.

Hayoon 123.

Because that was the nickname of my gaming platform account that purchased The Hero’s Story.
