Limitless Dream

The king woke up from a dream.

While the dream and reality were all jumbled up, the king gradually realized himself.

‘You're awake.'

The king clenches his fist.

My back cooled when I remembered the self in my dream that I had denied after being diagnosed with cancer, and the weakness that I had called my broken lover. The amount of despair and pain I felt in Seojin overwhelmed my heart.

You have ten days left in your dreams. However, in reality, only 20 minutes had passed.

“Your Majesty, you're awake. ”

“Are you still holding your place? ”

Thankfully, the faithful god did not leave but continued to wait for him there.

“We have a problem. ”

“That's what you said before. ”

“Yes. Jim had the cepa-coiiner of a dream. The horse has moved to another organ. ”

Cancer. Lenozian says cepa-coiiner.

The Grand Mage and his servant were crooked.

“That's not a big deal, is it? ”

“The world of dreams is very different from the world of Lenozian here. ”

The king smiled bitterly and explained.

“This is the place where the Blessing of the Low Priest heals...... but it's almost incurable. ”

The old man's face became stiff. The king continued:

“Five out of a hundred don't survive. Among them, I think the burden is on the more serious axis. ”

“Dangerous.”

The old man's eyebrows were trembling.

“The conclusion of a dream will have an impact on the completeness of the curse, and the existence of the king if he dies in the dream. ”

If you die in a dream, you die in reality. That was the curse left by the traitor while risking his life. At the end of the never-ending nightmare, the soul is crushed and the ring of the leap is permanently broken.

That was why all angels, demons, and even gods were afraid. Death is a new beginning, but the curse is to make death an eternal end.

“It is more urgent that the king stops the end of his dream than he realizes it is a dream. ”

“I agree. Is there any way?" ”

“The best wizards and priests gather day and night to study. Maybe we can find a way. I will intervene in your dream to overcome the horse. ”

“... Would that be possible? ”

“Sosin, though I am incompetent, I will do everything in my power to stop it. Trust me."

The old faithful bow politely.

The king stared calmly.

“Please.”

Chief Park Hae-chul was annoyed since morning.

“Is it still today? Can't you reach me? ”

“Yes, my phone keeps switching off. ”

“Oh my, what's wrong with that friend all of a sudden? ”

Since yesterday, Han Seo-jin has been absent from work. If I show up for work today, I'll be damned if I'm going to complain about last night's unemployment, but I still can't reach him.

“What's wrong with a friend who's been sincere for four years? ”

“You're treating the pain because of the disease. What could possibly go wrong? ”

“What's wrong? You said it wasn't a problem. ”

“That's all it takes, though. You know, he hasn't missed a day in four years. I am not a friend who will be absent without any communication. ”

About that time, the chief of Park Hae-chul began to worry. What really happened?

However, around 2 pm, Seojin appeared. Park Hae-chul was a little relieved, but that relief soon turned to unpleasantness.

“Han Seo-jin, is your work a joke? ”

“…… Sorry. ”

“Why aren't you answering your phone? If you were really sick, you should have talked to the company, called in sick, turned off the phone two days in a row. Is that how you were taught to live your life? ”

Han Seo-jin silently listened, then took out the white envelope without saying anything. Chief Park Hae-chul was somewhat embarrassed, but soon he looked strict.

“I didn't know he was like this. All you have to do is quit your job and resign? You know that society isn't that great, Han Seo-jin? What the hell are you doing? Are you protesting?”

“I was determined to be at the end of pancreatic cancer. ”

“Pancreas…… what? ”

Park Hae-chul, who seemed to be a big shot, suddenly changed his face.

Seojin stared at the man who was speechless, followed by a trembling voice.

“I got confirmation from three hospitals. There's been a lot of transitions. It's almost impossible to treat. ”

“Well, then……. ”

“I've been told to do whatever you want to do for the rest of your time. ”

“Ah……. I'm so sorry.I didn't know that... ”

“No, but I should have made a phone call, because I had no idea. We're sorry for your concern. ”

“No, no, this guy. Is there a problem with the phone now? People are going to die, but I'm going to think about calling too... ”

Park Hae-chul was embarrassed and said he was sorry. He was an ordinary worker. How am I supposed to shoot him with a day off when he's dying of illness?

“Take care of your resignation. ”

“Oh, okay. Wait! Don't go home right away. Just go to the break room and rest. ”

Han Seo-jin wondered, but answered yes, and went to the break room to rest. It felt strange to think this place was the last place.

About an hour later, Chief Park Hae-chul came to see him with the HR staff.

“I'm the chief of human resources. I heard the story. No. I'm so sorry."

“… Thank you for your consideration. ”

Seojin bowed his head and wondered. Why is the head of HR here?

“Not only that…… I'm sorry as a company for my unfortunate circumstances, and I have prepared a yearly salary in consolation. It's separate from severance pay, of course. And I'm going to fire you, not get laid off, and you're going to get unemployment benefits. ”

“Really? Thank you. ”

Due to the fact that the cheating man and his silent mother had taken all the money, he was currently broke. With a year's salary, severance pay and unemployment benefits, you can do anything for the rest of your time. Lifestyle treatment, organizing your life.

The Human Resources chief's eyes lit up.

“In exchange... … can you sign here? ”

What he gave was a vow. Han Seo-jin looked at me because he didn't know what it was.

“This is an agreement not to bring any litigation regarding occupational hazards. In exchange for the consolation money, I'd like you to sign here. ”

“Occupational hazard?”

Seojin was confused even though he hadn't thought about it.

I said with a look on my face that the chief of Park Hae-chul is sorry.

“Mr. Han Seo-jin, as you know, our company is experiencing a little bit of lawsuits for retirees with leukemia these days. In fact, what does pancreatic cancer have to do with semiconductor process chemicals…… but for the company, I want to be sure. Understand.”

“ ……. ”

“Oh, right. Mr. Han Seo-jin's work environment has nothing to do with chemicals, and even so, does he have pancreatic cancer because of that? Of course, we know that Mr. Han Seo-jin is not a hard-ass for the company like those retirees. Mr. Han Seo-jin is a very compassionate employee. Don't just think about it. Sign it. That gives you an extra year's salary. ”

Han Seo-jin looked at the two faces alternately. Park Hae-chul was looking at it as asking, and the HR Chief looked straight at me with bold eyes.

It's like you're about to do something.

When I live in a company, I see a lot of those eyes. At first, it's awkward, but at some point I get used to it, and for Han Seo-jin, a fourth year worker, it's a gaze that I've already gotten used to a long time ago.

But why?

Han Seo-jin was a little irritated by the Human Resources Chief's eyes. And I was surprised at myself for thinking that.

“… I'll sign it. ”

The chief of human resources smiled at me.

“You thought well. Thank you."
