How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

After returning from vacation, when artificial water from China was supplied in earnest, I created my own laboratory and started making skeletons.

I said while carving a magic circle into an SS-class skeleton.

“What is good?”

A magic weapon business that I came up with while on vacation.

“Something practical. Something useful in life.”

I pass offensive magic because it is dangerous, and I need something that is attractive to ordinary people and can be sold as a low-end type.

“Originally, I thought of flying, but now that I think about it, it will fly and then use up all of its mana and fall off.”

Of course, it is possible to insert two or more artificial essences and add functions such as automatic landing in case of emergency, but then the price is too expensive, and above all, there is no guarantee that all accidents will be prevented 100%.

You don’t have to be scolded for causing a dangerous situation, right?

“Still, it would be useful for emergency escape.”

Just like the last time I rescued a child.

But isn’t this likely to be in high demand?

After all, you have to sell it to the fire department…

“Ugh. Another fire station?”

The first start of Seron Rental, a fire-fighting skeleton.

But conversely, this fire-type skeleton was one of the worst-earning lineups.

The reason was simple.

Because the fire department has no money.

Since construction skeletons are popular, the Fire Department contacted them saying they would like to use firefighting skeletons.

Of course, thanks to this, it was actively used for saving lives and helped greatly to raise the image of the Seron Group, but it is regrettable.

“I don’t think I can make any money off of this. I will make it in moderation and use it for images.”

Once the fly is here.

Anything else good?

“The power of telekinesis? no. It’s too hard to control. You need something intuitive and effective.”

After that, I kept thinking about it, but nothing suitable came to mind.

Hearing aids using hearing enhancement have also been considered, but who dares to use expensive magic hearing aids over inexpensive hearing aids?

Pass this too.

After thinking about it for a long time, I looked at the SS-class skeleton I was making and said.

“…Awakener. Yes, you can refer to the ability of the Awoken.”

Wasn’t this business conceived from the point of envying the abilities of the Awakened in the first place?

Finally, there are countless types of abilities in subspace, so I look for something useful among them.

“What is there?”

A feast of countless abilities, from flight and elemental abilities to body strengthening and transformation.

Among them was the bizarre ability to heal wounds exponentially faster when eaten.

“Regeneration isn’t bad, but I can’t implement this with my magic.”

My healing magic is nothing more than the level of sealing wounds and preventing them from deteriorating.

That’s when I remembered the abilities of the awakened people.

“uh!”

There is one.

shield ability.

The ability to create a transparent shield to block attacks.

I said, snapping my fingers.

“shield! The shield isn’t bad!”

*

shield magic.

It is a magic that creates a transparent shield around the surroundings with magic, and it was the most basic defense magic that novice wizards learn.

But, of course, its performance is the worst itself.

In the first place, physical force was realized with intangible magical power in empty space, but there’s no way that it would be strong.

I’m not using my bone shield for nothing.

But that’s a word that only applies to people like me or awakened people, and ordinary people have a different opinion.

I activated the shield magic weapon I made for testing to create a shield, then took out a hammer and swung it.

widely!

A shield that blocked the hammer with a dull sound.

I said with a bright smile.

“Anything like this is great!”

A shield that blocked the hammer that I swung with all my might, who had the same strength as a normal person.

I said to Baek Sang-ho, who was watching from the side with an interesting expression.

“Take a car and see if it blocks the impact of the car.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

Baek Sang-ho drove the car like that.

“Let’s drive it at 40 km/h!”

At my words, Baek Sang-ho drove towards Shield at 40km/h.

The moment Baek Sang-ho’s car collided with the shield.

Dismissed!

The shield disappears with a shattering sound.

I licked my lips and said.

“As expected, I can’t stand this.”

A shield that will continue to block as long as the mana is replenished to the limit it can withstand, but will be shattered as soon as an unbearable shock is applied.

“Then, of course, you won’t be able to hold out with a gun, so it’s just a level that blocks normal people’s attacks.”

Baek Sang-ho, who got out of the car at that time, spoke.

“Isn’t that great enough? If you sell it for self-defense, I think there will be enough demand.”

“hmm.”

“By the way, if I have this, can I use this ability at any time? Regardless of the president?”

“Yes.”

“…allowing ordinary people to use the Awakened’s abilities? The only Awakened person in the world who can do this is the Chairman.”

When did I move according to common sense?

Anyway, what kind of ability do you have at first? But eventually you’ll get used to it.

“Anyway, I think girls will really like this. The world is atrocious these days, but this is a relief.”

I said, punching the palm of my hand.

“oh! That’s right!”

With this strength, it will even stop you from swinging a sword, so literally the best defensive weapon to protect yourself.

“That’s good, safe shield.”

How much money would that cost if all the women in the world carried one of these?

“By the way, how much are you planning to sell this for?”

With an artificial essence, a shield magic circle drawn in, and a margin attached…

I did some calculations and said.

“Ten million won?”

You have to get that much to make money.

Then, Baek Sang-ho, who was silent, raised the shield magic weapon and spoke.

“So you’re saying that the initial cost is 10 million won, and when the energy is exhausted, you have to pay millions of won for replacement with artificial water.”

“…is it too expensive?”

“To be honest, it is expensive. Besides, if it’s for self-defense, you’ll have to carry it around all the time, isn’t it too big for that?”

An artificial essence the size of an adult’s fist and a frame with a magic circle around it.

It’s true that at this size, to be honest, it’s a bit cumbersome to carry around with your hands.

“Every woman always carries a bag. Just put it in your bag.”

“If it is for self-defense, it should be usable immediately in case of emergency. That’s why there are many types of female self-defense equipment worn around the neck.”

“uh······.”

Baek Sang-ho points out that the price is high and the size is too large to be portable.

I’m at a loss for words because it’s such a reasonable point.

“What do we do? I can’t lower the price any more.”

Of course, it is possible to sell a small amount of mana, but then the purchase and distribution of energy becomes several times more complicated.

I have to pull it out and sell it right away before it’s full.

It’s a magic weapon that was originally devised for the smooth cycle of mana, but if this causes a disruption in the purchase and distribution of energy, it’s a turn of events.

“This hurts. The price and size are all things that can’t be done.”

That time when Baek Sang-ho and I looked down at the shield magic weapon and were silent.

“President.”

Deokbae Kim came over and told me.

“Did the experiment go well?”

I said scratching the back of my head.

“The experiment itself was a success, but something else is taking over.”

“Do you have a problem?”

When I told Deok-Bae Kim about the price and size, Deok-Bae Kim suddenly burst into laughter and said,

“hahahaha. Are you just struggling with that?”

“oh! Any good way?”

“Yeah, it’s portable and it’s expensive, but people are willing to pay for it.”

Is there such a way in the world?

“Can’t we just make this weapon into a bag?”

···uh?

“You can embed this weapon in a bag and then sell it as a bag with a defensive function. The way to activate it is to place it outside the bag.”

does that make sense?

You can put artificial essence inside and place the magic circle between the hides.

“Then what’s left is the price… Honestly, 10 million won? That’s nothing when you consider the price of other luxury bags. It is a reality that even luxury bags worth tens of millions of won are sold like hot cakes. But it even has a protective ability, so you can get more than 10 million won.”

luxury bag!

why didn’t i think of that?

“That’s right. Quite a few people have at least one luxury bag at home.”

A luxury bag that everyone has.

However, if the shield function is added, isn’t this really the end of competitiveness?

“Did Seron Shoes also make bags?”

“Of course I do. In the first place, Seron shoes are shoes, because we are doing all textile-related businesses.”

I didn’t know because I didn’t pay much attention these days.

I said with my eyes shining.

“A luxury bag that everyone has, isn’t it perfect?”

But there is still one problem.

That is, the bags made by Seron Shoes are not luxury goods.

“It’s a protection function, but will people recognize ours as a luxury product?”

“All luxury brands have humble beginnings. What’s more, this bag has a very special ability that other bags don’t have, so it’s icing on the cake.”

Deokbae Kim said with a confident expression.

“I have lived my whole life only touching leather and fabric. If you leave it to us, we will create a proper luxury brand.”

I immediately raised my thumb and said.

“exorcism. Proceed right away, the funds will be provided indefinitely.”

Deok-bae Kim moved very enthusiastically when he was tasked with a project worthy of a project for the first time since becoming vice president, as it was related to textiles, his main specialty.

“This is designer Lim Joon-il. He has a reputation as a designer enough to hold a fashion show in New York.”

At the introduction of Kim Deok-bae, Lim Jun-il lowered his head and said.

“Nice to meet you, Chairman.”

“Thank you for coming, Designer Lim.”

After saying hello, I looked at Kim Deok-bae and said,

“Are you doing a collaboration?”

“yes. Originally, I thought about designing and launching it on my own, but Seron shoes specialize in receiving designs and making them, so their own design is weak. So I asked for a collaboration, and designer Lim readily agreed.”

I said looking at Im Joon-il.

“Thank you for agreeing to the collaboration.”

At my words, Im Joon-il said with a smile.

“Honestly, at first I tried to say no. The image of Seron is that it is an inexpensive, low-cost product.”

accurate point.

In the first place, Seron’s motto is that things that can be used are overwhelmingly cheap.

Of course, from the standpoint of a famous designer, collaborating with a company that makes low-end products is burdensome because it may leave a stain on your career.

I nodded and said.

“I understand.”

At that time, Im Joon-il grabbed both hands and said.

“But after hearing the vice president’s explanation, I changed my mind. What is luxury? It is to protect people’s hearts.”

what?

what do you keep

mind?

Lim Joon-il said with melancholy eyes.

“By owning luxury goods, we increase our value and raise our self-esteem. That’s why people crave luxury goods, to protect their hearts.”

Oh oh······.

“But such a luxury product now goes beyond my mind and protects me in reality? It’s a revolution. This is fantastic!”

Is this the so-called world of artists only?

When I look at Deokbae Kim with a blank expression, Deokbae Kim silently nods with an understanding expression.

okay.

be patient

Kim Deok-bae prepared hard, but he couldn’t hit the candles.

“I cannot miss this opportunity. Chairman Han, the world’s best awakened person, and I, Joon-il Lim, join forces to create a masterpiece among luxury items!”

“Ah, yes.”

Lim Joon-il took out a wad of paper from his bag and held it out.

“This is a draft I drew after hearing the story and being inspired.”

After checking the draft like that, I thought.

‘I heard he’s famous, but his skills are definitely good.’

A design that even me, a non-designer, can admire.

“Good.”

“I’m glad you liked it.”

I turned my head to Kim Deok-bae and said.

“Proceed like this. As I said, I will support you without sparing any money, so I will hit you with advertisements regardless of terrestrial or cable channels…”

At that time, Im Joon-il said in fright.

“A TV commercial! Chairman, luxury brands do not advertise on TV!”

“···yes?”

“The magic that attracts people just by existing. That’s the true charm of luxury goods!”

“No, but you have to advertise to let people know about this feature.”

“No no no no. That’s no no.”

damn.

Shall I give it a shot?

Lim Joon-il said with a smile.

“You have to make it a natural experience, a very natural experience. So that you can feel the value of this luxury item.”

A stout man said as he walked down the street with his girlfriend.

“Baby, do you have anything you want?”

“What do you want?”

“I want to give you a gift with a bonus this time.”

Then the girlfriend laughed and said.

“no. I do not need. Save and save.”

At that, the man thought with a sad expression.

‘As expected, there is no one like my girlfriend.’

From nob le mtl dot com

My other friend’s girlfriends were asking me to buy this or that and stir-fry people, but my girlfriend was the complete opposite.

She is frugal, has no unnecessary consumption, and does not burden herself as a boyfriend.

‘I’ll have to propose soon.’

The time when I thought that I would like to be with this woman for the rest of my life.

Girlfriend pointed somewhere and said.

“uh? Honey, are there crowds of people over there?”

“huh? what? Shall we go?”

A couple of men and women who approached with such curiosity.

What they saw was a mannequin holding a bag and a man running towards the mannequin.

“evil!”

But isn’t the man being bounced off by something opaque?

“Ah-oh!”

A man jumps up from his seat and kicks, but something opaque surrounding the mannequin does not budge.

From nob le mtl dot com

My boyfriend who saw it said with a dazed expression.

“What is that? ability?”

A mannequin protected by something invisible and a man struggling to penetrate it.

“Is this an event hosted by the Awoken?”

At that time, when I was grasping the situation, a person who seemed to be an event-related employee said.

“Three minutes have passed. failure.”

“Ah-oh!”

The man who ran toward the mannequin stepped back and said.

“You’re so strong!”

At that time, my girlfriend pointed to the electronic signboard hanging on the mannequin and said.

“Baby, look at that. The prize money is 20 million won!”

“uh?”

A boyfriend who noticed the identity of this event only after seeing the electronic display board.

“If you break through that and bring the bag the mannequin is holding, you get 2,000?!”

said the girlfriend with an excited expression.

“Would you like to try it yourself? You’ve been exercising for a long time.”

If your girlfriend is pushing you like this, how can you refuse a man who has the face of a man?

From nob le mtl dot com

My boyfriend stepped forward and said.

“Can I try it?”

Then the employee nodded and said.

“of course.”

“Can I use the tools?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

At that, the man took out the small dumbbells he usually carried in his bag.

With the start sound of the staff, the man swings the dumbbell as hard as he can.

but.

widely!

A dumbbell bounced off something opaque.

“Ugh!”

Even though my hands were tingling due to the recoil, I continued to hit the dumbbell without hesitation because it was in front of my girlfriend, but something opaque did not even budge.

how much time has passed like that

“Three minutes passed! failure!”

Then the boyfriend said with a ridiculous expression.

“What the hell is this?”

But then a new phrase comes to mind on the electronic signboard.

From nob le mtl dot com

My boyfriend who saw the contents said with an absurd expression.

“What, was this an ad? But what product advertisement is this?”

-You are worth more than 20 million won.

-D-30

-Coming soon.

This was the phrase on the billboard that puzzled the man.
