[Chapter 202]
[Foundation of a Monarch(5)]
Twelve Seats <Index> Yoon Seong-jin.
He was a person who retained a child's body for life due to vast mana.
On the other hand, due to his immense abilities, in Eun-ha's memories from before the regression, he was confined in the library until his death.
His merits were enough to be recognized as a living legend, but his abilities were so great that he was treated poorly.
Manager of the Player Library.
No, slave.
He lived confined in the library except for 5 days a month.
And before the regression, Yoon Seong-jin ends up being excluded from the Twelve Seats in the process of dissolving the 2nd generation Twelve Seats.
The Fairy Government, having experienced several disasters, decided to add players who could be deployed to the field in crisis situations to strengthen the Twelve Seats' influence.
Yoon Seong-jin, who only worked in the library without wielding Twelve Seats authority, had to be moved to a separate position.
He had no right of refusal.
Human rights aren't the top priority in the face of national crisis.
If <Index> isn't there, the library might not function smoothly. So <Index>'s human rights and opinions were ignored.
<Index>'s treatment was the worst.
Though he harbored all sorts of complaints, he faithfully carried out his assigned work.
Jokingly─.
─They said even if <Index> betrayed humanity and caused terrorism, humanity couldn't condemn him.
Such words circulated.
But in other words, <Index> ultimately didn't cause terrorism.
Though he was dissatisfied with his treatment, he had a heart for this country.
On the other hand, Eun-ha had asked him before the regression to support 2nd Fairy Ha Baek-ryeon.
Of course, he didn't listen.
At that time, <Index> didn't comply.
He seemed to have festered while caring for this country but not the secular world.
In the end, Eun-ha couldn't make <Index> his ally.
If he had made him his ally, the direction of power might have changed greatly.
Nevertheless─.
─The core of everything I'm thinking depends on <Index>.
I have to persuade <Index>.
Despite being rejected in the previous life.
Eun-ha was determined to persuade him somehow.
Fortunately, the situation was good.
<Operator> Jung Ha-yang.
Because she was <Index>'s <The Seed>.
Thanks to this, Eun-ha could easily meet <Index> through Jung Ha-yang.
"─He looks quite scrawny to be Ha-yang's husband. To think such a guy is this country's hero, the world must be ending. Well, what's your reason for wanting to see me?"
"I came because I have a request for <Index>."
<Index>'s attitude was extremely prickly to Eun-ha at first.
But Eun-ha, who had been rejected by him before the regression, realized his attitude was mild.
I can try to persuade him.
Judging so, Eun-ha persuaded <Index> together with Ha-yang and─.
"─<Index>. What did you just say?"
[The communication isn't bad, so I don't know why you're pretending not to hear. I'll say it again. I said I'll succeed all the official positions that Baek Seo-jin guy holds.]
And so on the day of the Mana Management Organization meeting.
He made <Index> appear.
☆
Manager of the Player Library.
<Index> appeared.
Everyone in the conference room had greatly flustered expressions.
[In the time I haven't seen them, they've all aged into hunched grandpas.]
They were officials who had gone through all sorts of hardships to come to this place.
As such, they were skilled at hiding their expressions.
But even they couldn't have calm faces seeing <Index>.
Fairy Lim Ga-eul.
<King of Darkness> Baek Seo-jin.
<Abyss> Seon Woo-hwa-ryeong.
Bodyguard Lee Jung-hyun.
The four people also had clearly surprised looks with wide eyes.
That's how unexpected <Index> was to them.
[But these guys have no manners. Or are they trying to treat me like I'm not there because I'm not there now? Then I'll have to personally leave the library and go meet you.]
""""...!!""""
"Please wait, <Index>! We were so flustered we didn't have time for manners. We're really sorry. What are you all doing?"
""""We're really sorry!!""""
The Fairy jumped up from her seat.
She bowed her head to him.
Then she glared at the dazed officials with sharp eyes.
The officials also hurriedly stood up and bent at right angles.
Though <Index>'s treatment is bad, there's no one in this country who can replace that person.
Perhaps after <White Silver>.
The most necessary gifts for this country are <Connection> that can create consciousness worlds and <Index>'s gift.
So the Fairy showed courtesy to <Index> to the extent of bowing her head.
Originally, in terms of experience or merits, there was only 1 person in this place who could be <Index>'s match.
"─Seong-jin, why are you attending a meeting you weren't interested in?"
[It's not that I wasn't interested. It's because I wasn't in a situation where I could attend meetings. Baek Seo-jin, how about we speak properly?]
""""...."""
<King of Darkness> Baek Seo-jin.
He was the only one who didn't bow his head and faced <Index> Yoon Seong-jin.
Yoon Seong-jin didn't seem to mind.
Rather, he buried his back in the sofa and even pulled his head back.
Behind him, a rabbit standing on two legs could be seen transporting books.
"Just finish your work."
[Why is this my work? My work now is becoming your successor.]
"Stop the unfunny jokes."
[Shall I show you what a real joke is? Should I just destroy the library?]
[Ah! <Index>! How can you just throw away information that needs to be sent to Indonesia!?]
"..."
Yoon Seong-jin snatched and threw away a book the white rabbit was trying to transport.
The rabbit was flustered.
Yoon Seong-jin smiled.
Just with that, Baek Seo-jin and the officials couldn't say anything more.
Though Yoon Seong-jin did it as a joke, if he made up his mind, a worse situation than this could occur.
"What do you want?"
[Your position.]
"I know well that my position is an excuse. What do you want that you're suddenly trying to cause such a ruckus?"
[I guess puberty came late.]
In the end, Baek Seo-jin changed his approach.
He approached in a way of persuading Yoon Seong-jin.
Of course, it didn't work at all.
[If you're asking what I want, there is something. I'd like you to free me from the library now. Baek Seo-jin and you officials seem excited preparing for retirement, but what am I, of the same generation as you, still doing here?]
Yoon Seong-jin sneered.
No one could answer.
If they had any conscience, it was right that they couldn't say anything.
To this, Yoon Seong-jin continued speaking while mocking them.
[But I know well how important my work is for this country. So I want to compromise with you and work outside the library now.]
""""...."""
[Twelve Seats head, Mana Management Organization Minister. Hand over those two positions, you guys.]
<Index> Yoon Seong-jin's threat.
People realized he wasn't joking.
Bewilderment settled on their faces.
At that moment, Lim Ga-eul carefully said.
"But <Index>. I'm sorry, but if you're outside, the library won't function and many citizens will have a hard time. So I'm sorry but..."
[Who said to stop the library? Don't you have any thoughts of finding my replacement if I become Twelve Seats head?]
"Someone to replace <Index>..."
[Reading the report on the Uijeongbu Recapture War coming up this time, there were quite a lot of kids who work well. Can't you just leave the work to them?]
"<Index>, but they don't have the ability to work for over 20 days like you."
Assuming a month is 30 days.
The library was operated in a format where Index worked 25 days, and 5 other managers worked one day each in rotation.
But for the library to function normally, it was better for one manager to continue working.
The 5 days without Yoon Seong-jin, the library would make noise or take a long time to update information.
The moment the manager changes, you have to get manager proxy approval from those rabbits over there....
That structure takes an incredibly long time to process, probably.
So having multiple managers for the library was very cumbersome and inconvenient.
Lim Ga-eul spoke of that problem.
If he becomes Twelve Seats head, naturally they'd have to find someone to replace the 25 days, which means they'd have to find 25 navigators.
I was expecting this.
Of course, Eun-ha was expecting it.
Therefore, he wasn't surprised even hearing what <Index> said next.
[There's <Big Data>.]
"What?"
[That kid seems to be used like a slave in the Mana Management Organization, how about putting her in the library while we're at it.]
""""...!!""""
[I know <Big Data>'s skills. She's a bit clumsy but there's no problem with her as talent to replace me. Now that she's no longer Dangun Clan's person, there won't be any criticism either.]
"T-That's..."
[Lim Ga-eul.]
"...Yes, <Index>."
[Don't roll your eyes. I can hear the sound of your eyes rolling all the way to the library. Yes, with your personality, you probably assigned a lot of work to <Big Data>. So you're probably thinking it's a shame to give her up now.]
""""...."""
[I'll do that work. It won't be a problem for me to cover <Big Data>'s work with my abilities. I'm handling even more work for 25 days straight after all.]
"But <Index>. Whether <Big Data> can really work in the library for 25 days..."
[She can't do it. Only I can endure 25 days. No, there is one more person but let's pass over that pitiful one. But someone like <Big Data> should be able to endure 20 days.]
""""...."""
[So can't you just supplement personnel and operate the library for the rest? I know the library was recently updated by Pine Group, simplifying the manager approval process? The library's operating speed won't be slow either.]
Twelve Seats <Big Data> Mo Ra-yul.
Eun-ha was grateful to her.
Thanks to her working as a slave of the Mana Management Organization, he was able to persuade <Index>.
I'm so glad I kept Mo Ra-yul alive.
If her crime had been chosen as the death penalty instead of forced labor in the Seoul Disaster, it would have been impossible to persuade <Index>.
Moreover─.
[─Of course, it's a bit much for me to keep doing <Big Data>'s work while being Twelve Seats head. It would be good to find a successor for <Big Data>'s existing work and assign it.]
"<Index>, in the current situation, allocating manpower that far is..."
[There's a kid named Yoon I-byeol in the Control Bureau at Mana Management Organization headquarters.]
"What?"
[I saw a report that kid uploaded to the library before, and I liked it. She seems to handle work well too.... She's probably 5th grade now. Looking at her contributions in this Uijeongbu Recapture War, she'll likely become 4th grade.... Her current position should be Control Bureau officer.]
"Why that kid..."
[Appoint that kid as controller. Though she's young, she works well so it should be fine to entrust her as controller. Then <Big Data>'s position will be resolved.]
"<Index>, a controller of the same rank as Control Bureau Director is 3rd grade or higher..."
[Though they're the same rank, isn't the bureau director higher in experience? Then what's the problem.]
""""...."""
[Promote her 2 ranks. No, 1 rank is fine too. Then I'll teach her the qualities of a controller, and promote her 1 more rank after a year.]
Eun-ha's last card to persuade <Index>.
Yoon I-byeol, who didn't have an epithet in this life but was called <Butterfly Lady> before the regression.
Thanks to her working in the Mana Management Organization, Eun-ha was able to find <Index>'s replacements.
<Big Data> can take over the library, and I-byeol can take over the controller position <Big Data> was holding.
Yoon I-byeol's rank was low.
But her skills were standing out in the organization.
Even <Index> acknowledged it.
I-byeol will be promoted to controller at lightning speed at just 25 years old.
The atmosphere changed a lot.
People couldn't oppose when <Index> presented specific solutions.
Eun-ha smiled while congratulating Yoon I-byeol's promotion.
It was right at that moment.
"─Yes, then you can replace my position, Seong-jin."
Baek Seo-jin opened his mouth.
He spoke glaring at Index.
At the same time, his gaze pierced towards Eun-ha.
"─But how will you replace the position of <King of Darkness>?"
""""...."""
There was still one problem left.
The person managing this country's darkness had to be included in the Twelve Seats.
<Index> had no disqualification as Mana Management Organization Minister and Twelve Seats head.
But he was a person with no relation to darkness at all.
To this, <Index>─.
[─That's not my business.]
""""...!!""""
[Why don't you listen to the Pandora Clan Lord's story about that instead of me.]
He pointed at Noh Eun-ha below the screen.
People's gazes focused on Eun-ha.
Eun-ha finally spoke.
"─There happens to be one more person besides <Abyss> who can replace <King of Darkness>."
""""...."""
"A shadow who caught <King of Darkness>'s eye, is young, has a future, and has strong loyalty."
At that moment, the shadow moved.
Eun-ha's shadow changed three-dimensionally and took human form.
People were startled by the man who suddenly appeared without any presence.
Even <King of Darkness> and <Abyss> didn't seem to notice his presence.
Their faces hardened.
"I recommend player <Shadow> Han Chang-jin as Twelve Seats."
""""...."""
Pandora Clan <Shadow> Han Chang-jin.
Previously, Baek Seo-jin's <The Seed>.
He was Eun-ha's last card.
☆
Meanwhile, at the 3rd generation Twelve Seats selection.
<Yamma> Kang Hyeon-cheol was looking down at the arena with an interested face.
"Not only a telepathist, but also covering hunter..."
"Don't think about fighting. Please, please don't think about rushing into the arena. Remember the Fairy said she would reform the Twelve Seats, please."
"Hey, can't I just watch? I'm not going in, I have thoughts too."
"I thought you only had a head, but fortunately there were thoughts in it too."
Ignoring <Holy Mother> Park Hye-rim's sarcasm.
Kang Hyeon-cheol focused on one player.
<Swift Wind> Jin Pa-rang.
He was a player Kang Hyeon-cheol knew too.
But it was the first time he directly confirmed his skills like this.
"Eins have good bodies, so there's no one who can match them in martial arts. But that guy... He's the real deal among them."
Jin Pa-rang was fighting candidates who applied for the same division.
Naturally, the navigators who are relatively weak in combat are falling out.
Even telepathists weren't
Even telepathists weren't much of a match for Jin Pa-rang.
In this test, Jin Pa-rang was receiving a score close to perfect.
Of course, when combined with other scores, his ranking would likely drop.
However─.
"─What would happen if I give him extra points? Hye-rim, you'll give him points too, right? No, you should."
"I was going to anyway."
Among those who could evaluate candidates.
There were also Twelve Seats members.
The Twelve Seats members appointed to the 3rd generation first wanted to select people who would work well with them if possible.
So Kang Hyeon-cheol decided to cast one vote for Jin Pa-rang.
"He's from the same department as me. To think Pandora Clan had such a guy."
"Please don't say such horrible things."
Park Hye-rim also cast one vote.
Other Twelve Seats members also brightened their eyes after confirming Jin Pa-rang's skills.
"That Pa-rang, he seems like he'd do well if he doesn't act up."
<Great Tree> Seon Gi-jun, one vote.
He smiled bitterly.
"I owe Pandora Clan an elixir debt, so I should give him a good score."
<Silent> Yu Su-jin, one vote.
She was busy eating a sausage.
"There hasn't been anyone notable among telepathists since <Heavenly Sound>.... With skills like that, there shouldn't be a problem."
<First Sword> Ji Yong-hyeon, one vote.
He evaluated as objectively as possible.
"It's nice to see him working hard."
<Time Witch> Priscis Memory also gave Jin Pa-rang extra points.
"Though it's worrying that he resembles Hyeon-cheol, it would be good to have a Twelve Seats capable of combat."
<Thunder God> Lee Do-jin chose him after some consideration.
Thus, somehow all the Twelve Seats present ended up giving Jin Pa-rang extra points.
That was the end of it.
Jin Pa-rang was confirmed as a member of the 3rd generation Twelve Seats.
