Sometimes, certain companies are born directly within clans.
For instance, the Aegis Clan innovatively reduced the scale of national defense magic to local defense magic, transforming themselves into a global security firm.
As the applications for magic grew, the need for personnel to manage it separately became apparent.
Janjeol, which developed Dream Stone Engraving Equipment and Dreaming Mode, gradually started to scale up.
[Janjeol, 6 new executives onboard… Completion of C-level executive and board formation]
Janjeol announced a partnership with VariA and Samsung while completing its executive formation by recruiting a COO and CTO.
NoName, the head of the Janjeol Clan and CEO, stated, “We will secure all necessary capabilities for our executives to enable Janjeol to embark on safe and beneficial appropriate technology development that positively influences the future and lifestyle of all humanity.”
└ How is the boss 10 years old? LOL
└ Getting scolded by a 10-year-old would hit me with a major reality check! ROFL
└ I just imagined it, and I’m actually in favor of it!
└ ?
└ They gather naturally without even offering a single stock option RSU, it’s amazing!
└ Instead, they must be offering a hefty bonus.
└ The CFO’s a JP Morgan alum, wow!
└ The chair of the board is a High Wizard from the Altair Foundation.
The newly onboarded executives had an obligation to stabilize the company quickly.
“Is everyone new to this kind of company? There’s no orientation, no onboarding courses, nothing prepared at all. I feel ashamed to have such capable people here.”
The executives didn’t have to understand corporate ecosystems.
Because to begin with, a corporate ecosystem didn’t even exist yet.
“Thinking back to when we started, I think this is great! This is the essence of romance.”
CFO Megan Alford said with a grin.
She sat down, pulling Tetris blocks from the virtual reality floor.
“Haha, the former CEO can’t even pop champagne at this rate!”
Robert Kim, former Johnson & Johnson vice president and current Janjeol COO, burst into a broad smile.
“The role you are playing in tying the first knots is significant. Please strive to build a good company culture. For now, I’ll take care of the handover.”
Staff from partner firms who had been overworked could finally be liberated from the hell of overtime.
The executives used a high-density, high-capacity open world as a temporary office and got started on their next tasks.
[Janjeol, where will the first factory for channeling equipment be? Infinite competition for subsidies among Korea, the U.S., EU, Japan, China, and India]
└ When the U.S. had 10 trillion, Korea was at 1 billion, ah jeez! LOL
└ Joseon’s answer is only destruction.
└ Are we even really competitors…?
└ 100 times the difference LOL I’m embarrassed just watching.
└ National pride ← Without this, the country wouldn’t function properly.
Janjeol’s goals were twofold: first, to increase the production of Dream Stone Engraving Equipment, and second, to maximize the imprint density.
The former is simply a matter of building more factories.
However, addressing the latter required serious contemplation and collaboration among individuals with advanced magical expertise.
“In the end, it’s all about people. We need to hire the right ones from the beginning.”
I curled up and fell into thought.
I had no worries about hiring regular employees; the executives would do much better at that.
They had the talent to see people and were capable individuals who had been in the company for a long time.
But how could we effectively pick out skilled wizards and engineers?
They fundamentally needed expertise in theoretical magic studies and a great understanding of circuit techniques.
Above all, the most important trait needed was an incredible intuition and creativity to create something that didn’t exist in this world.
‘Wait a minute… something that didn’t exist in this world?’
I gently touched the spot where the Aura Heart was located.
I had possessed a being that no one in this world knew about since before I was born.
Erosion.
‘If only we could reverse the contamination through collective intelligence…’
Among the seven erosions, Schadenfreude (Jealousy), Erichiton (Greed), and Medusa (Laziness) were contaminated entities.
Born as beings that were not human, becoming human, and then changing again into non-human forms.
As the threads of magic intertwined and twisted further.
They lost their personalities from when they were human entirely.
I had put in all kinds of efforts to restore this, but ultimately, I ended up failing.
‘No, let’s not expect too much there. But this could be quite effective in verifying abilities, don’t you think?’
Since the idea had come to me, I immediately proceeded to execute the Unimagician simulation.
[Casting: Cerebral Cortex Reconstruction]
[High-Level Casting: Activation of Lateral Septum]
[Decryption: Neurotensin Receptor 1]
[Unique Magic – Estasha’s 3rd Style – Erysichthon]
Just like I transferred Hibris, I combined erosion magic and ASI.
Wiiiiiiiiiiiiing-!
The Black Cube heated up, ramping up data processing.
[▶Error]
[system: Run as administrator]
I forcibly executed the file to summon the entity embedded within the cube.
Fail.
“Hmm. Nothing came out. In that case…”
This time, I summoned an adorable puppy avatar.
I detached the spell governing Erichiton’s thoughts and implanted it into the puppy.
“Woof!”
“Is, is it working?”
Erichiton used to bark like a dog even in human form, so I was a bit uncertain.
[Casting: Rune Release]
Shrrrrrrrr-!
The runes holding the magic circle scattered, unfolding a vast 3D maze.
It looked somewhat like an ant nest, somewhat like a spider web circuit technique.
I manually replaced, adjusted, and reassembled the spells one by one.
An hour into it.
“I think this was my limit in my past life too.”
“Wang Wang! Nowuuu! HooHoo!”
“Looks like it’s definitely Erichiton.”
That was not a sound a mere puppy would make.
It was Erichiton’s unique language, suggesting that it was bored and just wanted to play together.
In fact, if I worked harder here, somewhat weak communication could be possible.
But the problem was, it would soon revert to its original state.
As I extended my finger, the puppy licked it with its tongue.
I knew it wouldn’t work, but I didn’t want to waste more time.
“Let’s do this.”
“Wuff?”
I put Erichiton back into the Black Cube and computerized the remaining circuit spell as data in the software.
This task was as simple as making a plaster mold using a casting.
Next, I created a webpage to integrate with the Black Cube.
‘Should I at least write a title?’
The blank space felt too dull, so I threw a title into the void.
“Hmmm… It feels just like a shoddy homepage made by an elementary school student.”
Frowning, I glanced at the lone NPC left in the blank space.
“Woof Woof!”
[Janjeol open recruitment first test: Hello Erichiton]
[-Talk to Erichiton-]
*
Janjeol announced plans to hire 2,000 employees by the end of the year.
Among them, the most eye-catching was the recruitment of EC developers.
A divine job where you could secure a minimum annual salary of 500,000 dollars.
Regardless of the number of applicants, those who passed the first test got a free pass right in front of the final interview.
Curiosity surged in developers, and they all flocked to the website.
A ridiculously simple problem: talk to the puppy NPC.
Those educated in rote-learning immediately hacked into the language module.
[System: Good try, but changing the language module is invalid.]
In that case, it was pivotal to examine what that puppy was made of first.
And a first verification post emerged in a community.
[Janjeol’s little puppy talks to me successfully (verification possible)]
(Erichiton: Woofwoofwoofwoof!)
(Me: Woofwoofwoofwoof!)
(Erichiton: Arrararrarr woofwoof!)
(Me: Yipyipyip! Gack cough cough! Woofwoof!)
Does this mean I’m a candidate for 800 million under Na-me?
[Comments]
– What kind of beast is this? LOL
– Not human…
– Human disqualification! Beast qualification!
– I really laughed my head off last night! LOL
– You were told to talk, not to bark! Ugh!
– Ah, even Na-me would laugh at this! LOL
– It’s seriously hilarious how hard it’s barking! ROFL
Before long, talented wizards uncovered the true purpose of the test.
[Ryke Chan]
[The secret of the Janjeol test is Rune Release. The goal is to modify the malignant expression circuit technique.]
In the vast universe, the circuit technique data spread out like neurons.
Even looking at it made my head pound with pain from the circuits and operators.
“Of course!” reactions emerged among the public.
And three days later, the first success case was reported from India.
[VedaTech]
[By using the ‘Nirav’ technique to solve the malign error that flips adjacent spell techniques when one is swapped, the error is delayed while mana flows through the modified circuit.]

(Erichiton: How? Hi?)
Mad wizard from India.
He mobilized 10,000 academy students from his country to resolve the Hello Erichiton issue.
