I Am Just an Ordinary Office Worker - Chapter 16

“Really?”

“What?”

“You can go to La Elta through the portal. Are you serious?”

As soon as I got home, I couldn’t even say hello but my brother was already asking me so many questions.

“How did you know?”

“When a player is identified during the awakening test, the union contact top guild like us. Like the benefit of recruiting before other guilds could do it.”

“Really? Isn’t that an invasion of privacy or something? Aren’t they stealing my personal information and sell it to guilds?”

“You signed the consent form before the test. If you read it carefully, there’s something related to that in the middle. There’s a list of which guild your information goes to, but even if you say no, we have our own ways to find it out.”

Who the hell reads that long consent letter form meticulously?

“It’s almost a scam, isn’t it? Don’t people hate it when you do that?”

“I’ve never seen anyone hate it after being contacted by our guild, they are mostly excited.”

“But isn’t it controversial?”

“It’s like your professor reccomend you to one of its connection after graduate so you could easily get a job, who would hate it?”

“I am!”

I’m not even a player, but what are they going to do with my information?

“Don’t change the subject. So did you really go to La Elta?”

“Oh, that’s right. I have no status window, no quest. But, hey, I’m so strong without that.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Since you are not a player, the union contacted me first. In this situation, they asked if I wanted to reveal your information to another guild and I said no for now.”

Why are they asking my brother about my personal information?

Are they discriminating because I am just an ordinary person?

“You don’t have a status window nor you can do quest, but going to La Elta out of curiosity is like jumping into a fireball. You know that, right?”

It’s annoying to argue with my brother so I just nodded.

Actually, even if I don’t have a status window, I have power.

It’s not that I haven’t thought about showing my strength.

I am just lazy going around and looking for an agency to prove myself.

I was thinking about using the excuse of “I’m Lee Sung-Hyun’s younger brother”, If some people were to interview me.

However, wouldn’t there be a lot of articles like “Player Lee Sung-Hyun, have the ability to awaken the general public?”

It’s good to have a free pass called Lee Sung-Hyun, but I think it’s going to cause more trouble for both of us, so I’ll put that reason on hold for now.

“We’ll take care of your information so it doesn’t leak. I’m also going to control the media.”

He added, “Don’t pay attention to it and go to the player lab, let your brother take care of your mess.”

Is he worried that I would recklessly become a player because I can go to La Elta?

I can’t say it to him because he may not believe, but brother… Your younger brother is stronger than you!

After checking that both my brother and mother were busy doing their job, I quickly headed to the kitchen.

Meat, meat!

Not too long ago, I got caught by my mom while secretly taking meat out of the freezer.

I was scolded for trying to eat so secretly in the middle of the night.

I think she started to get suspicious of the meat disappearing little by little after that, and she became more suspicious because there was no sign of using kitchen tools.

No matter how crazy her son is, he won’t eat raw meat.

“Found you, meat.”

I saw several pieces of meat that were hidden deep inside of the freezer.

Of course I don’t have a unique appetite for raw meat.

This is for Blackie.

“Woof, woof!”

As I go to the backyard with the meat, Blackie welcomed me.

At first, I gave him dog food, but he didn’t eat it.

I just wasted my money.

Now I buy raw meat on my way home from work, but because I have no work on weekends, I secretly take out the meat from the freezer.

It will become a big problem if Blackie were to eat someone, who just passed by, because I forgot to feed him.
