Chapter 3 – #4 Sanctuary Inc.
#4 Sanctuary Company
“Ah…”
But I soon realized there was a problem.
“Where is your company?”
That I don’t know the way Should I ask Uncle Chris? But wouldn’t they be suspicious if I, the son, said I didn’t even know where the parent company was?
I was worried about a thousand things.
But I soon realized that worrying in advance was useless.
[Guide for beginners]
[For the next week, a tutorial system for the player ‘Erosus’ will be held. Relationships with people around you, social situation, location, etc. We will guide you about what the player ‘Eustrous Man’ wants. In addition, the memories of the player ‘Restrous Man’ for the past 30 years are stored. You can check the unviewed album at any time during the week during the tutorial system, and the album will be deleted after a week. Please note this point.]
“Oh tutorial. Yes, this should be it.”
Thanks to the tutorial system, you don’t have to figure out what to look for on your way.
“Let’s see… ‘Bal Ji-woon’ company search.”
[Search for a company run by ‘Bal Ji-woon’.]
[As a result of the search, ‘Sanctuary Company’ with ‘Bal Ji-woon’ as the chairman appeared.]
[Do you want to check information about ‘Sanctuary Inc.’?]
“No. Search the location first.”
[Exploring the path of ‘Sanctuary Inc.’]
[Explored.]
[Route guidance starts now.]
“Is it a navigation? Huh? Wow!”
A very familiar guide sound echoed in my head. And at the same time, a green arrow appeared in front of my eyes, showing me the way I should go.
“Let’s see…”
Before leaving for work, I went through my closet. Still, his name is the son of the chairman, but his face did not stand out in his tracksuit. The same goes for my parents who will be responsible for my money line in the future.
Searching through the closet, I found a sleeveless tee with a deep cut in the side.
“…”
Me, no, my character was a real mess.
*****
“Okay, let’s go now.”
Since I was going to work, I just wore a suit.
I was worried that the clothes would be uncomfortable because he was big and his muscles were as bumpy as any wrestler’s, but fortunately it seemed to be a tailored suit. It was very comfortable to stick to the body.
As I followed the arrow and went out of the mansion, I saw Uncle Chris outside and tending the garden.
Uncle Chris looked back at me and looked surprised when he saw me.
“Huh? Bocchan, where are you going? Besides, why are you dressed so nicely. Are you going on a date by any chance?”
Uncle Chris smiled and said, as if I was unfamiliar with me in a suit.
“It would have been great if it was a date with a beautiful woman, but unfortunately it’s not. I’m going to my parents’ company.”
“To Sanctuary? Master?”
Is it such a surprise to hear that you are going to work? Uncle Chris opened his eyes wide enough to make them pop out. It was a rather furious reaction, to the point of being rather embarrassed.
“Is it that surprising that I go to work?”
“It’s because you made a big mistake because you didn’t want to go to the company. How can you not be surprised when someone like that says he’s going to the company on his own?”
“…”
My son, what the hell have I been doing? No, more than that, what kind of accident did you have? It wouldn’t have been an ordinary accident to say that Uncle Chris had a huge accident.
As soon as I go to work, I need to see if it’s a memory album or something.
“My uncle told me earlier. Today is Dr. Crumola’s experiment day, so my parents were also present. I was curious about what kind of experiment it was and why my parents were attending.”
“Huh-huh. Curiosity is good. Just wait a bit. I’ll call someone.”
“Oh, would you please?”
“Yes. Go to the front door first.”
“Yeah. Oh, maybe the experiment isn’t over already?”
“I heard that the experiment starts at 2:00 PM. There’s still plenty of time.”
After answering with a smile, Uncle Chris took out his cell phone and started calling someone. He’s probably the driver.
Come to think of it, there was no need to investigate where the company was located or take a taxi in the first place.
I am a chaebol in this world. Specifically, the son of a chaebol.
Of course, I had a driver to take me wherever I wanted. It was just a matter of saying let’s go to the company without thinking about it.
I was able to reach the front door by following the arrow that only I could see. After waiting there for a while, a car stopped in front of me. A young driver got out and opened the back seat door.
‘Who is that guy… Searching for people.’
[Izuma Doyle (male/27 years old)]
[Relationship between characters: friendship]
[He is the driver of the main character, ‘Restrous Man’. I don’t have a special relationship with the main character ‘Restrous Man’.]
[Presence of superpower: O]
[Possessed Superpower: Best Driver (Lv.5)]
‘If you don’t have a lot of friends, you can just keep your mouth shut. But what kind of psychic powers do you have?’
Apparently, it’s just a psychic specialized in driving. I could tell just by looking at the superpower name.
“I’m leaving.”
“Yes.”
I nodded and Izuma started the car. She was unwaveringly comfortable and didn’t feel lean, especially when cornering. Truly the best driver.
“I’ll be getting some sleep, so wake me up when I get there.”
“Yes, I understand.”
After talking to Izuma, I crossed my arms and closed my eyes.
She didn’t really want to sleep, and she was going to check the memory album until she got to work.
‘Execute memory album.’
[The unviewed album is launched.]
[You may feel pain until the memory injection is complete.]
‘What? Wasn’t it just for show?’
[Memories are injected.]
‘Muh, what… Kuh?!’
Suddenly, her head felt like it would break. I felt like I was going to scream if I was careless. Still, I was patient enough, but it was thanks to my psychic powers.
[Name: Horny Man]
[Age: 30 years old]
[Gender: Male]
[Height : 191cm]
[Weight: 104kg]
[Value: winner takes all]
[Alignment: Chaos]
[Motto: There is no bad money in the world.]
[Super Power: Body Enhancer (Lv.10)]
[HP : 400]
[Psychic Tree]
Lv.1 [Generate HP (+100)]
Lv.2 [Strength Specialization]
Lv.3 [Pain Resistance]
Lv.4 [Mental Tolerance]
Lv.5 [Increase in regeneration]
Lv.6 [Increase HP (+300)]
Lv.7 [Steel Skin (Active)]
Lv.8 [Disease Resistance]
Lv.9 [Vital Point Protection]
Lv.10 [Two Hearts]
I focused my body enhancer psychic powers on defense.
It’s good to have strong power, but since this is my first time playing this game, I’ve covered the psychic tree with defense and survival abilities to survive.
I made this decision because I could have chosen four more superpowers anyway. And it was a very right decision.
If I hadn’t gone all-in on defense, especially if I hadn’t picked Pain Resistance and Mental Resistance, I might have killed Izuma, who was driving hard and couldn’t overcome the pain.
‘Hey, heck, heck… Fuck.’
How much time has passed
The splitting pain in my head was finally gone. At the same time, memories that I had never seen before began to appear in my head.
It was the memory of my character, a man in heat, not me.
‘Huh… Fuck, I really only have to endure this once.’
In fact, even if I don’t have to endure it, I have no way to do it, so I’m enduring it.
Anyway, I started looking at the memories of the man in heat in my head one by one. You have to know what kind of life he lived to be able to act like a real man in heat.
… Rather than that, I should start with a new name. A man in heat, a man in heat makes me feel like shit.
I’m not in heat, but it looks like I’m in heat!
Anyway, read my memory-
“We have arrived, young master.”
“… Is it so?”
The moment I tried to read the memories of the man in heat, the car that was moving smoothly arrived at the company before I knew it. Thanks to that, the memory was confirmed later.
“How long have I slept?”
“You slept for about 20 minutes.”
“… Really? It’s been a while.”
“I’ll be waiting for you in the parking lot.”
“No. Just give me the car keys and leave first. I have other things to do.”
“I will see you.”
Well, Izuma was a very loyal driver.
The current time was running toward 11:00 AM, and Dr. Krumola’s experiment, which I was interested in, begins at 2:00 PM. There are still more than 3 hours left, but they are waiting for me.
Give me my money anyway, no. I work for my parents’ money, but Izma is a man who is sincere in his work.
But he couldn’t have Izma with him. I also had to look around the geography of Dark City, which is the background of this game, and there was a lot to learn.
The core of my story was a thorough double life. No one should know my real identity.
I said to Izuma with a smile as if it were okay.
“No, it’s okay. I’m seeing my lover and my parents after a long time.”
“Ah…”
“Huh?”
But somehow Izuma’s expression didn’t look good.
“What’s wrong?”
“That is…”
“Yes. Please speak comfortably.”
“I don’t have a girlfriend…”
“Ah…”
She unintentionally stabbed Izuma in the stomach. And my stomach was also stabbed.
Izuma and Nana were all the same when they didn’t have a girlfriend.
*****
“Wow… Isn’t that a joke?”
Looking up at Sanctuary, run by my father Ji-Woon Bal and my mother Stephanie Yu, I couldn’t help but admire.
Sanctuary wasn’t just a building. Every building around, every person was Sanctuary. Living in Sanctuary was a forest of buildings itself.
Dozens of large and small buildings and a park created between the buildings, and the most impressive among them was a building so tall that it was impossible to get a sense of how many meters it was.
Oh my god. I couldn’t understand a man in heat who had an accident because he didn’t want to go to a company like that. Saying that you don’t want to go to a place where even bowing down isn’t enough… You’re full, right?
Hehe.”
And now, that full-bodied fellow is me.
“Son!”
“Huh?”
The moment I finished my appreciation and was about to enter the main building, I heard a familiar voice in my ears. It’s a voice I’ve never heard before, but my body says it’s familiar.
The body of the man in heat reacted.
Then the owner of the voice…
“Oh my God! Are you really my son? Seeing my son at work… And wearing a suit… Son, now my mother has no regrets even if she dies.”
“Hey~ He’s saying something weird again.”
‘Wow.’
Contrary to his natural reply, he was deeply impressed inside.
She was a beautiful woman with a slim body, ample breasts, a narrow waist, and straight legs. Her blonde hair in a ponytail was an indirect indication of her passion.
In my heart, I wanted to seduce this beauty right away, but I couldn’t.
Because the beauty in front of her was my mother, Stephanie Yu.
Who would think this woman is 50 years old? She was young and beautiful enough to look like she was in her late twenties.
“But son, what are you doing? I heard from Mr. Chris, but I couldn’t believe it at all. Didn’t you hate that?”
“I’m just trying to get attention from now on.
“Ah…! Ha…”
“What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?”
At my words, Mom closed her eyes tightly and her body trembled. Is she sick by any chance? Her mother shook her head as she looked up at me concerned.
“No, I’m so happy.”
“Huh?”
“When my son grew up like this… Mom is really touched.”
“The size has been bigger than my mother since I was in middle school.”
“Are you noisy son?”
“Yes.”
When she told the truth, my mom glared at me. She playfully shut her mouth, and only then did my mother smile and put her arms around mine.
“Shall we go? Oh, did you have lunch? Let’s go and have something delicious with mom.”
“What about Dad?”
“Dad? Dad went out for a while. I’ll be right back.”
“I’m not going anywhere. Let’s go slowly.”
“Huh!”
“Ugh.”
She let out a sigh as she saw her mother responding cheerfully, inappropriate for her age. Then she suddenly had this idea.
Will other people see us as mother and child?
If you don’t look at mother and child, is my mother young or am I old?
‘… I guess it’s both.’
