Arc the Legend - Chapter 1 (1/875)

"Is this the interview venue?"

A young man in his twenties pushed up his old glasses.

It was a building located a five-minute walk from the subway station in Gangnam, Seoul.

The front of the building, treated with black glass, prominently displayed the English words "Globalaccess Korea."

Seeing the sign of a large corporation, which he had never thought he would have any connection with, made him feel intimidated. He didn't have the courage to walk in.

However, he had even less courage to turn back.

The young man took a deep breath and entered the building.

"I'm here for the interview."

"Please go to the third floor."

A receptionist, who looked like a model, pointed to the elevator.

"Ah, yes. Thank you."

He bowed slightly and hurriedly moved, but laughter followed him from behind.

His face turned red.

He had a rough idea why they were laughing.

He had received a sudden notice to come for an interview and had borrowed a suit from a large friend. Wearing a suit that didn't fit and fumbling around must have looked quite ridiculous. Of course, even if he had received the notice with more time to prepare, he wouldn't have had any better options...

"Mr. Manager is coming in!"

At that moment, the security guard's voice rang out, and the lobby suddenly became bustling. The receptionists stood up from their seats, and about ten security guards lined up in front of the entrance.

Feeling pushed by the atmosphere, the young man, looking bewildered, pushed up his glasses.

A man appeared at the entrance.

Wearing a loose jacket and jeans, he was surprisingly around the same age as the young man, probably in his mid-twenties.

If someone of that age held the title of manager, it was obvious.

He must be a second-generation chaebol who secured the manager position through nepotism. Despite being the same age, one person is a manager of a large corporation because of their well-connected parents, while another has to borrow a friend's suit to come for an interview.

Feeling a renewed sense of despair about the social class gap in modern society, the young man turned his head and froze.

"Hold on? No, that person... Could it be...?"

The young man's mouth dropped open as he confirmed the manager's face again. At that moment, the young manager's eyes met his.

After checking the examination number on his chest, the young manager smiled and asked.

"Are you here for the interview?"

"Y-Yes! That's right!"

The young man answered stiffly.

Just as he was about to say something, a security guard approached the young manager.

"Mr. Manager, the vice president wants to see you immediately."

"The vice president? I understand."

Nodding, the young manager turned around but stopped and looked at the young man.

"Don't be too nervous. If you do your best, you'll get a good result."

"Thank you!"

The young man shouted, his voice echoing through the lobby.

As the young manager smiled and walked away, the young man lifted his head and asked the security guard.

"Is that Mr. Manager... the famous one...?"

"Do you know him?"

"Of course! I'm a New World user too, so there's no way I wouldn't know!"

"Right, Kim Hyun-woo. That's him, the legendary gamer who became a manager at Globalaccess through a single game, Arc."

The security guard answered, looking at the young manager as he entered the executive elevator.
