Chapter 404: Side Story 18 - Drunken Shit talk The Devil has descended 1
âThatâs right. The reason I applied for TKBM's Unsanctioned Excavation Team wasâŠâ
It was prior to the regression.
June's hands were shaking while looking at the interviewers in front of him.
June, or Chaos, had passed through all of the necessary tests for the tomb raiding team but the hiring was canceled for being a woman. June had changed his gender, name, and everything to reapply and barely managed to get an interview, butâŠ
âMotherfucking human bastards.â
June felt like forgetting about all of it right now.
The reason was simple.
It was because of these damn interviewers.
âHmm, your TOEIC score isn't bad but you donât have any study abroad experience?â
âYou donât have any of that extremely common volunteering experience either. I would say this is more of a lack of sincerity than a lack of effort.â
âYou have a gap of six months. What did you do during that time?â
"What do your parents do? What is your family income level?â
âAnd your address seems like it is a semi-basement apartment? Your hometown is also an under-developed area.â
âThese shitty human bastards. Are they interviewing for new employees or are they conducting the fucking census?!â
âYou havenât had any work experience either. It seems as if you're lacking in your presentationâŠâ
âDamn it! You bastards are hiring rookies right now! Like hell weâd have any work experience!â
This Supreme Leader of the artifacts was about to explode due to the mental breakdown.
This was already the fifth interview. The company had been in a rush to select people last time so it hadn't been this bad.
âPlease introduce yourself.â
âYes sir!â
âAre you able to use artifacts like this during excavations?â
âYes sir, I can.â
âPlease demonstrate.â
âYes sir!â
That was about all that June had to deal with the first time. Even that had made June feel as if getting a job was extremely difficult for humans, but he had been mistaken.
A true job search was a greater hell than he ever imagined!
[TKBM Korean Branch Recruitment]
He managed to apply for the company but then got rejected in the application process for not having a strong academic background! He barely passed the college exam to satisfy the academic background, and then he got rejected for lacking specs!
He filled those so-called specs with things he thought would be necessary for excavating artifacts, but he received rejection after rejection! Rejection! Another rejection!
As an artifact, June couldn't help but have a mental breakdown.
âWhy?! This should be enough!â
He found out the reason for his rejections after entering a job seeker cafe.
[Of course, you donât have a TOEIC score⊠Even mid-sized companies ask for your TOEIC score. It is mandatory for a company like TKBM -.- ]
[A score of 900 is the minimum. I plan on getting at least a 950 to be safe.]
[Excavation related certificates? Language or computer-related certificates are more important.]
[Itâs probably good to have OA certification and accounting certifications as well.]
[I got the 8-item certification set as a base and also got my barista license recently. I heard that the board members and directors would like that.]
[The most important part is the personal statement. Would you like someone I know to read it over? He works there and does consulting from time to time.]
[ OMG, can he look over mine too? ]
[OMG, excuse me, may I have his contact number as well? My Gatalk ID is khy80.]
[Hello, I am an old job seeker who is 35 years old. This is really my last chance ă ă please.]
[Have a 26 year old babe in your arms. 010-7878-xxxx]
[I am an athletic 28 year old male. I contacted you.]
[This comment has been deleted.]
[Is it still possible to participate? My email is ]
[]
[Someone I know received this guy's consulting and successfully got hired by TKBM.]
âThe human working world is scary! It's very scary!â
June had been shaking while experiencing this ânew world.â
He studied all of these things and built up his specs and even received the consultation(?) to finish his personal statement!
Of course, the personal statement consultation was just a scam for his money!
âThat human bastard named Yoo Jaeha, I'll get you back for this!â
He barely made it to the interview phase after all that, yet they were asking only stupid questions!
âLady number 3, do you have a boyfriend?â
âU, umm.â
âWhat will you do if your supervisor calls you early in the morning? Will you show up? Will you come even if your boyfriend is sleeping next to you?â
It was at that moment.
Tap tap.
One of the other interviewers tapped on the table with his pen as if he was annoyed.
âTeam leader Yoon Shi Woo, can you please stop asking useless questions? Miss Seo Yejin, that question was a joke so please just ignore it.â
Yoon Shi Woo did not budge after Ju-Heon's warning and continued speaking.
âI'm not joking. Miss Seo Yejin, you are 26 years old right? How much experience do you have?â
âE, excuse me?â
âHow many men have you slept with until now?â
ââŠâŠ?!â
âAh, donât get the wrong idea. I am just asking to consider all things in the hiring process.â
Yoon Shi Woo snickered, as if he was messing with applicants he knew wouldn't get the job.
âSo, your response?â
âU, umm, IâŠhavenâtâŠâ
âOhhh, really? At your age? Hahaha, then what about you, Mr. June, do you have a girlfriend? Is she pretty?â
June frowned.
âI'm not sure what that has to do with excavating at all, sir.â
Yoon Shi Woo had an annoyed smile on his face.
"Ah, this guy is lacking in the specs and in the head. He has no tact.â
âE, excuse me?â
"And Mr. June, I see that you wrote 3,000 as your salary request? All these rookies have no skills but want to be paid well. We are going to teach you so many things that you should be willing to work for free.â
ââŠâŠ.â
âI'll tell them to take great care of you if you get hired, Mr. June. AlthoughâŠtheyâll have to pay close attention to you as if you were mentally retarded since you have no talents and you are slow to comprehend things.â
As Ju-Heon's eyebrows twitched and he was about to say somethingâŠ
June jumped up from his seat.
âHey you!â
An angry June walked over to Yoon Shi Woo.
He then picked him up by the collar.
âUgh! Hey!â
âControl yourself, you damn bastard!â
He should have noticed it from the moment they seemed to be conducting a census survey.
And what else did they say?
âHe said I'm a bit slow? Mentally retarded?!'
âAck! W, what is up with this punk?!â
June was fed up with dealing with these human bastards to get hired.
âThere's only so much of this I can take!â
âWhatever, screw it all!â
âForget confirming the Majesty candidate or whatever, letâs just go wild!â
Pow!
Yoon Shi Woo was sent flying after being hit by June.
Boom!
âListen carefully! We are all your clients once we leave here! Do you really think it is okay to interview future clients like this?!â
âH, hold on!â
âDonât look down on us job seekers!â
âAaah!â
Yoon Shi Woo ended up being stomped by the angry artifact job seeker(?).
June ended up being dragged out by the employees and guards who entered into the interview room.
âHoly shit, what is going on? An interviewee who beat up an interviewer?â
"This is like headline news!â
âHoly shit! Call the police!â
âHe deserved the beating. We all know that guy messes with the interviewees all the time. Unfortunately, that kid will never even make it to TKBM's door from now on.â
HoweverâŠ
âNo, no. Put him down as passed.â
âExcuse me?!â
They gasped while looking at Ju-Heon who was laughing while clutching his stomach.
âT, team leader Seo Ju-Heon, what do you meanâŠâ
Ju-Heon fixed the mask on his face as he laughed. His face had swelled up because of an artifactâs risk so he had no choice but to wear it, butâŠ
âMy team was supposed to get someone from this hiring process. I like him so send him to my team.â
âB, but Team leader Seo!â
âWhat is it? I have that much power. He looks feeble but he is strong and has some attitude. I like it a lot.â
âMy goodness! The Chairman-nim might scold you later!â
In the end, that was how June ended up on Ju-Heonâs tomb raiding team.
Of course, Yoon Shi Woo always grumbled about how Ju-Heon hired a bastard like that.
Returning back to the presentâŠ
The team members dropped their jaws in shock after hearing the story.
âManâŠyou did all sorts of thingsâŠeven though you are an artifactâŠâ
âSo touching, you little punk.â
âBut pushover, you really did pull all sorts of scams. How the hell do you scam people with job consultations?!â
âAhhhhhhhhh! What the hell did I do?! N, no, youâre right, I'm sorry! I just needed some pocket money at that time!â
Ilya asked at that moment.
"But what does that have to do with hating that Zhen Cai Yuan woman?â
âEverything.â
June started shaking while thinking about what happened right after he got hired.
Ju-Heon had said the following to him.
âMan, I guess our department is really unpopular. We finally filled our whole team.â
âExcuse me?â
âHow the hell do they not send a single person to our department? They keep saying nobody is interested. Especially women. Zero women interested. I guess our department is unpopular with the ladies.â
âExcuse me? What are you talking about?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âHavenât you canceled someone's hiring because they are a woman? I thought no women were allowedâŠâ
âWhat kind of bullshit is that? How would Seol-A and Chloe be here if that was the case?â
â?!â
The team members looked toward June with disbelief.
âT, then the person who rejected you wasâŠâ
âThatâs right, it was Zhen Cai Yuan. I wouldn't have had to deal with all of those struggles if it wasnât for that womanâŠ!â
âWhy the hell would that woman do that?â
Why would she do that?
Chloe tried to think about that time.
Ju-Heon had seen Juneâs photo and said the following.
âAh, she's my type so it would be bad if she joins our team.â
âSheâs your type?â
âThat was why I didn't want to accept Seol-A as a team member at first tooâŠah, whatever. I'm sure it wonât matter.â
Ju-Heon had said to hire the female June, but what happened after that?
Zhen Cai Yuan, who had overheard Ju-Heonâs comment, pulled some strings to get June rejected. She used her connection with Chairman Kwon to get her way.
Jaeha was getting the chills.
Why?
âDo you think that the reason he said June was his type⊠Was it because June is an artifact?â
â?!â
"Artifacts are the Captain-nimâs type!â
The entire team gasped.
âD, did that guy's instincts tell him that you were an artifact since back then?â
âMaybe Zhen Cai Yuan intervened because, as one of the Four Emperors, her instincts were telling her that June was the Cradle.â
âNo, I'm sure that woman just saw a pretty girl's face and intervened.â
Well, it didnât matter.
âAnyway, you hated humans. Why did you stay with the team for so many years if you were planning on leaving soon?â
âWhy else? I got dragged in.â
Ilya sighed in response.
âYou were the same.â
âExcuse me?â
âFuck, I would still be working at the Vatican if it wasn't for that damn Captain bastardâŠâ
âWhat do you meaâŠâ
Ilya drank a shot instead of responding.
âThis is bad! Bishop-nim!â
âThat Korean guy is in the museum again!â
A long time ago during one Italian winter.
This was even before Ju-Heon joined TKBM. This is a story before he even met Mammon.
In this story, Ju-Heon was still not an artifact user.
âFind him! Find that Asian guy!â
"That bastard is here again!â
âAh, that damn Korean guy!â
The priests of the Vatican had their eyes wide open as they looked for someone.
"Fuck, we've seen a bunch of bastards like this but this Korean is truly persistent. Does he want to be an artifact user that badly?â
"Well, it makes sense. Pandora appearing made it impossible for personal possession of artifacts.â
âPeople canât even touch artifacts without Pandoraâs permission now.â
However, the Vatican was a bit different. The Vatican priests had received permission from Pandora to use artifacts and showed these artifacts in an artifact museum.
âThat is why people who canât get Pandora's permission keep trying to steal our artifacts on display.â
âTheyâll be able to go into tombs if they get their hands on an artifact.â
âEspecially this SS-Grade artifact!â
They were grinding their teeth while looking at a broken glass case.
"Fuck, how the hell did that son of a bitch break this thing? He doesn't even have any artifacts!â
âMore importantly, why haven't they caught the bastard yet?â
The priests were pulling at their hair saying that artifact users like them were looking like fools against this commoner.
Around that same timeâŠ
âMr. Ju-Heon, Mr. Ju-Heon. This way! Over here!â
Ju-Heon lifted his head from the shrubs after hearing the nuns calling for him.
âHurry up and escape this way!â
âThank you!â
This young Ju-Heon in his early twenties was about to exit the Vatican thanks to the help of the nuns he had seduced.
HoweverâŠ
âYou even corrupted the nuns now, you shitty bastard!â
âTsk!â
He got caught by the priests and couldn't escape. Ilya was one of those priests.
âCome over here while we are asking nicely, Korean guy.â
Ilya, who was a talented artifact user, activated a Christian artifact.
Ju-Heon became anxious after feeling the power of that artifact.
âHey! Isn't that a bit much against a tourist?!â
Ju-Heon urgently started running, but Ilya just scoffed.
âA tourist, my ass! This thieving bastard sure knows how to talk!â
But at that momentâŠ
â!â
Ilya couldn't help but be shocked.
