Level up from class F

Prologue

1995.

An unidentified swamp appeared from all over the world.

There were many differences from the swamps that had originally been made in nature, but people called them swamps because of their appearance.

When the swamp first appeared, people were helpless. Without any information about how it would affect them, they were helpless in the face of the impending threat.

At first, it was about the size of a small trench, expanding its radius over time. It took me a long time to realize that the radius of the swamp increased by half a centimeter each day and that the swamp opened when the radius of the swamp reached three meters. When the swamp first appeared and continued to grow, when it reached a radius of 3 meters, the monster under the swamp protruded. Most of the time, the size of the beast is much larger than the swamp's radius, but the beast doesn't seem to be in trouble. Those who didn't have any knowledge of the beast were forced to be attacked by the beast without hesitation.

When people realized that the monster's habitat was a swamp, that the swamp had grown by 0.5 centimeters every day since it was created, and that a monster had appeared for a certain length of time, they were unable to find a way to defeat it. Even with the army mobilized and modern weapons deployed, the beast was only powerful in front of him.

And...

A group of people, called Hunters, appeared in front of the desperate human race.

With Chakra's ability, they were able to inflict damage on the beast with the weapon that spilled Chakra. If a heavily armed army of modern weapons would concentrate for an hour and deal 10 damage to the beast, a hunter with chakra management could deal between 50 and 1200 damage in a single attack, depending on the dealer's rank.

Thirty years after the swamps and monsters appeared on Earth, we have been living with monsters.

By looking at the swamp, people can predict what kind of monster lives in the swamp. The edges of the swamp have different colors, depending on the danger of the beast inhabiting the swamp. At the beginning of the swamp's appearance, people didn't know what the border color of the swamp meant, but eventually they found that it correlated with the border color of the swamp with the beast's stamina in the swamp.

Monsters were classified into five grades: Grades 1 through 5 for convenience, depending on their physical strength. The swamp, inhabited by the weakest grade 5 monsters, had dark brown edges, dark red for grade 4, purple for grade 3 and white for grade 2. And in 2025, the edges were dark green in the swamp, the first grade swamp, where the most powerful monsters lived.

More than 30 years have passed since the beast appeared, and Hunters have attacked the beast, but the attack on the first grade swamp has never been successful. There is concern that if a grade 1 swamp does not succeed in hunting reaches a radius of 3 meters, the monster will leap out, but the radius of the swamp is not as large as other swamps. That's why the first grade swamps were able to enter and attack the monsters, but no monsters emerged.

As the study of monsters progressed, it became clear that the advent of monsters was not just a disaster for mankind.

Hunters have discovered a low-hardness ore found in the corpse of a monster. When it reached a certain temperature, the combustible material was called roughstone. As research continues to unfold, people realize that roughstones can be used as sources of energy. As the depletion of fossil fuels increased the demand for renewable energy, Rough Stones began to be illuminated by high-efficiency, eco-friendly energy. Governments around the world put a lot of effort into Rough Stone's applied technology research and actively supported Rough Stone's practicality, eventually replacing fossil fuels.

As the area and demand for rough stones are exploited, the price of rough stones is increasing. The price of Rough Stones varied, depending on the monster's grade. Rough Stones from the carcasses of Grade 5 monsters were 100 million, for Grade 4 were 500 million, Grade 3 was 2 billion, and for Grade 2 were 5 billion. There were only opinions as to how much rough Stones from the monster of Grade 1 would be formed, but we had not hunted a monster of Grade 4, so we did not know the exact price of Rough Stones from the monster of Class 1.

Monster's Rough Stone became money, but it was much more extensive where the corpse was used. The monster's organs contained several types of specific substances that were not made in the human body, and the discovery of those substances led to major innovations in the medical world. Thanks to the monster's organs, the course of treatment was opened to diseases that had previously been classified as refractory or incurable.

What was most useful to Hunters was the hide and bones of a monster. Monster Hide has a special trait that prevents monster attacks, which is why it was used to craft Hunter's protective gear. Equipment and weapons made using monster bones amplified Hunter's attack power. Monster corpses were sometimes used at construction sites because of their corrosion and slowing down aging, and even though they were used to make electrical appliances, they were used in an endless number of ways.

What would happen if monsters no longer appeared in modern society?

Now, such a world was unfolding, perhaps even more frightening.

* * *

It seemed like the heat had arrived early.

I finished my final check by looking over Rims' purse and brochure like a weapon and shining myself against the glass wall.

You can do it. Anziu, the world is your food. '

I still erased more curiosity and expectations about the world.

While checking his appearance in front of the glass wall of someone else's store, I carefully examined my clothing, erasing it completely unaware that people were watching me in the store. Thinking that this was not a lack of a credible expert, I only touched the tie that I erased once again and made it worn.

He was impressed, Honam Hyung, and had a good reputation and good looks among customers.

He went to the hair shop that he had decided to visit today, looked around inside, saw that it was quiet without guests, and polished his voice outside.

When Ji-Woo opened the door, three hair designers greeted him at the same time.

“Welcome, sir. Sit here. What style do you want your hair to look like? Do you have any hair shapes in mind? ”

Whenever he was treated like that, he shook his hand as if he had done something wrong.

At last, he felt that his appearance was a betrayal to those who thought they were finally coming to the store without guests. I hypnotized myself to have confidence, but after less than 5 seconds, hypnosis seems to go away.

“That's not it. I'll be here when it's time to do my hair. Hello, I'm a salesman with Rims, Inc. I'm here to promote Rims' many good electronics. You've heard a lot about Rims, right? Have you ever tried Rims products? ”

Ji-Woo smiled brightly and recited what he had prepared. Then, the atmosphere sank in an instant, as if the water had been poured out into the open fire.

"Ah, I see."

I thought I was a guest, but then the designers took the tension off my body. I still showed interest. If Ji-woo's face looked sad, she could have been treated cold and kicked out, but luckily, Ji-woo's face was helping her erase it hard.

Erase explained the advantages of Rims' electronics by showing them the brochure.

"Rims is a company that is growing rapidly in the marketplace while continually increasing its share as the third largest company in the industry. Many of you are already using Rims' products. Have you heard of our new Rims product? I've been advertising lately."

"Oh, Shin Ji-min's advertising? I think I saw it."

Luckily, the woman who looks like she's the youngest responded.

"Oh, that? Is that Rims'? But they say Rims doesn't make good appliances."

The woman who looks like a ledger said.

I frowned at the erasing impression. There were people everywhere who put candles like that.

"Rims. Electrical appliances are like that. If you're going to buy appliances, you're going to have better luck."

The tackle continues.

"But I liked the design this time."

"I have a new product this time in Hankyung. You know what the director advertises. I liked everything he advertised."

When I heard a good story about Rims, I tried to penetrate through it and attack the consumer's mind, but I was stumped by the hateful defender without even opening my mouth.

Erasing the story about Rims' product, I completely forgot about it, and suddenly I tried to bring the people who bloomed flowers back to the point.

"Limbs is on call. It's an advertising model. It's trustworthy. I don't think so. Won't he advertise Rims' products? Appointments will also be busy advertising the top products in the industry. How many countries did he save in his past life? She's got a nice face in a capable tank. She's drooling when she sees a fit woman."

"Yes, we want to use you as an advertising model. But Rims battles with product performance."

Jiu's words were interrupted at once.

"Rims battles with product performance? That's a funny story."

If one person's mind was inclined, he had to come back to the office where the other person was erasing the candles, wasting only about two hours and doing nothing.

You shake your head as you leave. I felt that the strategy had failed. I thought it might have been possible without the Ledger, and decided that I should visit the Ledger again when I didn't see him next time.

There will be no force left to return to the office after you have cut off the deal that will not work. However, when I got back to the office without falling down, some colleagues who survived the battle that day, big and small, came first and wrote a diary, finishing the day's work.

"Did you find anything?"

A colleague in the next seat asked.

"No. Pretending to be interested and asking if there are any samples. Are we selling cosmetics? Why are we looking for samples? When you buy, you say you'll do a good job, but you ask me what I'll do for you, and I'll contact you if I need you later."

The eraser sighs and speaks, and asks you with a jaw, "What's the situation?"

"I was similar. Rims says he's a little short on appliances. He just wants to focus on what Rims is good at. What am I supposed to do, order from a salesperson to make a difference?"

"Our stuff runs a lot, though. If someone asks me to recommend appliances, I can't tell them to use Rims'. If my family buys appliances, I told them never to use Rims'. I'd rather you use mine."

Ji-Woo spoke and laughed helplessly. I passed my head thinking that there would never be a more miserable life than a salesman who had to sell something that was not competitive.

"Even if a retired prostitute sells herself in her old age, she'll be beaten by us."

On second thought, Ji-Woo said a word, but not only the people who were sitting around him laughed.

"Don't say that in front of the deputy director."

Lee paid attention with a smile on his face.

"You might as well use yours."

Ji-woo, would you really do that? He said with a look on his face.

"Are you the only one? Maybe if you visit Limbs' house unannounced, everyone will be wearing a mask."

"That's what I'm talking about. I don't have bad sales skills, but I think I drink water all the time because I'm in the wrong line."

Ji-Woo said he was dying. It wasn't necessarily wrong.

"Then let's get to the sea in the first place."

"The door is too narrow there. It wasn't easy getting in here. It was impossible to get into the sea."

"It's all the same fate. You're a loser. Entering the Rims means we're losers. If you wanted to be able to do it in the first place, you could go to the sea. Coming into the Rims anyway. What are we gonna do now? You have to stay afloat. You have to work hard hoping to get caught."

After saying a few more nonsense words, I wrote my work journal. I visited several places and wrote down a mix of several audiences and how many areas I could target with a return visit.

Then the manager called erase.

“Anjiwo, come to my room for a moment when you finish your journal. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

I tilted my head to see what was going on, but no one gave me a hint.

"What's wrong with him all of a sudden?"

"Who knows?"

Sangmin said.

Erasing went into the deputy room without getting any information in advance.

“Sit down.”

Director Seo Ji Yeol recommended Ji to take a seat and carefully examined the records.

“You're doing very poorly, Angie. ”

“…… Sorry. ”

“I didn't ask you to say I'm sorry. I called you because I wanted to hear what it means to have no more than ten contracts in three months. ”

“That……. ”

“You did a good job in the beginning. Are you in a slump or something? ”

“No, it's not like that. ”

The question is, should I tell him he's in Rims?

You wouldn't even know how hard it was to sell a less competitive product.

People used to criticize Rims for their competitiveness and for their lack of energy efficiency, durability, design, or anything else. He also said that an honest person like Anziu is a sales rep at Rims. As long as Ji-woo was a sales rep in Hankyung, there were not many people who said they could raise their performance without a grudge.

“I have an assignment for my department. In the meantime, other employees have filled in the gaps for you. But this time, it's a lot worse than the other months, with a 10-day deadline coming up, and they're not filling 50 percent of the other months. ”

The deadline for the 10th, 20th, and 30th deadlines closed on the 10th, 20th, and 30th of each month. We do not know if we are trying to keep the tension from slowing down or just tightening our necks, saying that there is still a lot left until the end date.

"Mr. Anziu?"

“Yes…. ”

“You don't know anyone? Relatives.”

“That……. ”

I did not say that it was difficult to ask again because I took out the contract when I joined.

Those who congratulated Ji-Woo for joining a good company floated Rims' products, big and small. However, Rims' products were not very satisfied, and it was always hard for Ji-Woo to meet them again.

The product breaks down and customer service people continue to complain about being unfriendly and bad at less than a year's worth of A/S and being outnumbered by travel. Given the situation, the idea of selling to someone I know is naturally gone.

Ji-Woo was speechless and overbearing, and the manager threw a powerful punch.

“If you don't have a connection, you can buy it, right? If you get married, you'll need all of that. If I buy it later or leave it for later, I'll be able to use it comfortably from now on. ”

"Sir."

Ji-Woo looks at the manager.

“Why? Is the Rims salesman not satisfied with Rims' products? ”

The manager hit the player with a difficult question to answer.

“ ……. ”

“You should enter the meeting by writing a report on how to meet the 10-day deadline. I want you to do it this time. Don't you have to be that sentimental? ”

“ ……. ”

“Mr. Anziu?”

“I understand.”

“Let's do a washing machine and a wall hung TV. ”

I couldn't help but erase it and left the deputy office.

A deadline is like that. The next deadline comes back without any consideration. It seems like there are only 10, 20, and 30 days a month.

I was relieved that I had closed somehow, and the 20-day deadline was coming soon. Until then, I had not drawn out a new contract.

Jiwoo's colleagues pulled out two or three contracts, despite what Rims' products looked like, what people did, and basically. Even though they seemed to play together, they felt jealous and pathetic when they saw people pulling them out like ghosts. When other people saw that they were only selling well, they thought it was their problem rather than because of the product, and even though they insisted on doing well, their work did not go well.

At the end of the 20th day, the manager called erase. The conversation flowed in a similar manner as before. Even the momentary silence seemed to be in the script.

Before leaving the deputy room, I floated the refrigerator, the expensive oven, and even the air conditioning there. The month's performance was easily fulfilled, but I was eager to repay the payment. However, his colleagues encouraged him to erase his basic allowance.

Erase thought so too, so I had to accept the director's pressure and surrender.

I had no idea the company was going to eat. It was once said that Rims' dealerships and branches would be cleared up, but it was confirmed that it was a rumor. And after six months of rumors, there was not a single sales office and branch that had been organized, so I was cautious. But only after that happened.

I'm in a hurry to get ready for work, but I got a call.

“Anziu, where are you? ”

I was exaggerated. Even the exaggeration never seemed to communicate how things were going.

“I'm going to work. What are you doing here so early, chief? ”

Ji-Woo asked,

“This is not the time for that! ”

When I heard the branch was closed, I went to a company that I didn't believe I was erasing. In front of the office were Jiu's colleagues. Knocking on a locked door, kicking with your feet, getting angry, screaming.

Later, a security guard comes up from the building. The fact that the rent was being withheld for three months was only heard from the security guard. Erase's face turns black. It was not just one or two people who left things like erased. The commander insisted on doing the last big thing before he left.
