The winning team was finally decided.
It was just lightning.
“Wow!”
Jumin Kwon and his teammates enjoying victory by smashing the opposing team’s skeleton and roaring.
I saw it in the VIP seat and smiled and said:
“It’s amazing.”
I didn’t think much of it when I thought of them as agents who make algorithms on my behalf, but when I think of them as reserve commanders who will later lead the skeletons on my behalf, I think it’s unique.
“Gathering mana from people and making a skeleton with that mana, they create an algorithm and direct it.”
Originally, the work that one necromancer had to do was shared and handled by all Koreans.
Perhaps it is safe to say that this is the necromancerization of the entire human race?
I got up from my seat and approached Kwon Jumin and said,
“Congratulations on winning.”
“thank you!”
“What are you planning to do after that?”
Kwon Jumin smiled brightly at my words.
“Once I receive the prize, I plan to share it with my teammates and then replace my parents’ old car.”
“no no. I didn’t ask for the prize money.”
I looked at Kwon Jumin and said.
“Because I want to make this a real sport. Do you have any plans to focus on skeleton fighting in the future?”
Kwon Jumin, who was silent for a moment at my words, said.
“If given the opportunity . . . I would.”
That’s right.
To be honest, where else would I go to taste this kind of money?

Moreover, even if it wasn’t until Lightning, the team that just lost in the finals was touched by billions of dollars, and everyone felt the taste of the money that I sowed to the fullest.
I grabbed the microphone brought by the host and spoke.
“First of all, please give a big round of applause to the winning Lightning team.”
As it was the final finale, it was a live match, so the crowd full of spectators applauded.
“Lightning!”
“hurray!”
And among them, those who are completely fascinated by Lightning Skeleton’s unique one-shot attack and become fans enjoy the joy of victory.
An environment sufficient to make a living only with the interest of the audience and the game.
Isn’t this the most important factor in becoming a sport?
And Skeleton Fighting already has all of these elements.
“everyone.”
I said looking at the audience.
“The competition ended with this.”
Then the people who show their regrets.
“It was fun.”
“right. Where else can I see a game like this?”
The specifications of the skeleton parts and superior skeleton that cannot be found in human-to-human fighting.
The thrilling confrontation coming from here must have been the first sight they had ever seen.
Fighting between Awoken is illegal because there is a difference in skill and there is a risk of death.
I looked at the crowd and said.
“Are you sorry? But don’t worry. The competition is over, but the skeleton fighting is only the beginning.”
I said to the audience.
“One-on-one is fun, but how about fighting a bunch of these skeletons like a war?”
People light up their eyes.
“Are you fighting with that skeleton?”
“crazy. Dogs will be fun.”
I said enjoying people’s reactions.
“Or, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to spread out in a wide place and compete like a survival game.”
It promotes sports, but to me, it’s like the actual practice of the commanders.
“Oh oh! survival.”
“There is more than that.”
When I open the subspace, a pre-made giant skeleton pops out.
“Several teams work together to attack such a large skeleton.”
Then a man said
“Wow, a large skeleton. Fighting large skeletons with each other would be daunting, isn’t there such a thing?”
I hadn’t thought of that before, but it’s a good idea.
A giant robot is nothing like a man’s dream.
“There could be a confrontation between these large skeletons.”
Words uttered immediately after hearing the man’s words.
Then the man who spoke the opinion said.
“Five! I got it right!”
I didn’t get it right, I just took my opinion as it is, but anyway.
“In that sense, I will officially declare the establishment of the Skeleton League!”
I said to the team that lost in the final.
“Are you sad because you lost? You can try again in the league.”
This time, he looked at Lightning again and said.
“Not enough prize money to win? You can win more prizes in the league.”
And finally, looking at the camera, he said.
“And you too can take this opportunity. Are you envious? Then try it! The Skeleton League always welcomes challengers.”

– Bypass Lightning!
Lightning’s skeletons circulate wide to the right in a large area made up of a survival arena.
The opposing team, unaware of that fact, just moved forward.
At that time, Lightning’s skeletons bypassed and attacked the opposing team’s waist.
-ah! The raid worked!
The screen switched to the opposing team players with the commentator’s words.
The players of the opposing team, embarrassed by the sudden surprise, hurriedly control the skeletons with the console.
But then.
-uh!
At the same time as the narrator is surprised, the screen switches back to the battlefield situation.
-Lightning’s skeleton also appeared on the left! It’s the skeleton I sent for reconnaissance earlier, but I guess he was aiming for this! ah! The Juno team is collapsing! Except in a hurry, the damage is too great!
The opposing team was completely destroyed by Lightning’s surprise.
-GG! Juno shouted GG! This brings Lightning to their 7th consecutive league win!
Then, on the screen, Lightning’s leader, Kwon Jumin, appears.
Jumin Kwon laid down the console in a relaxed manner.
It was the leisure of Kwon Jumin, who is called the best player since the establishment of the Skeleton League.
– This time, FNK made a transfer offer to Kwon Jumin, but he turned it down.
-you’re right. Like FNK, whose parent company is the 12th largest group in the business world, they offered a large sum of money, but Lightning refused to bury the bones.
-okay. It’s good for Lightning. Lightning without Kwon Jumin, I can’t imagine. Anyway, with this win, Lightning succeeds in retaking the league No.
Then the man who was watching TV said:
“Zeep. I envy you.”
Eight months have already passed since Han Ji-hyeok announced the league.
During those eight months, Ceron poured indefinitely funds and succeeded in making the Skeleton League a completely popular sport, and of course, that popularity pays off.
Companies that only supported them realized their popularity and took over the team themselves and now the Skeleton League is nothing more than a sport in name and reality.
In addition, as it has recently gained popularity abroad, Seron has announced that it will cooperate with the establishment of an overseas skeleton league in the near future.
“If I had done well back then, would I have been able to be in that position?”
A man who participated in the first competition held by Seron while working as a skeleton contractor.
However, the man was eliminated from the regional qualifiers, and after that he gave up neatly, but considering the salaries earned by the players, his stomach still hurts.
Then the door opened and a customer came in.
“welcome.”
The customer looked at the various parts on the shelf and said.
“Do you have 4 arms?”
After the man gave up on the competition, the one he chose was the Skeleton Shop.
With the advent of parts and free modification of the skeleton became possible, Seron has since put on the market various parts necessary for real life, not for games.
When the situation is like that, borrowing a skeleton is the same, but after that, a skeleton that can be used in more situations depending on how the parts are combined.
Naturally, as the demand for such parts increased, they opened a skeleton shop like a man, and a store that specialized in only parts was created.
“there is. What version would you like me to give you?”
“Version 32.”
“Version 32.”
The man said as he pulled out a box of well-packaged skeleton arms.
“It’s okay. What are you trying to raise a box like?”
“Yes. I’m in the liquor wholesale business, and I have to stack the liquor boxes high.”
“Aha. It’s also perfect for a skeleton. Then how do we calculate it?”
“With a card here…….”

I, who activated the Skeleton League and introduced the stopper to the private market in the meantime.
First, I gathered all the magic circles on the skeleton body like a motherboard, and made it so that limbs, heads, and various parts could be attached to the body.
Then, after borrowing the body for a rental fee, the parts are configured on their own, and the algorithm is completely left to the market in a way that the skeleton maker configures it, so Seron sits down and makes money.
“These are the parts devised by the center this time.”
At Baek Sang-ho’s words, I nodded and said.
“I release everything.”
Before that, I would have checked which one is efficient and good first, but now that everything is left to the market, such confirmation is meaningless.
If it is efficient and good, the market responds first and sells well, and if it is not efficient, it will turn away from the market.
“By the way, Center Manager, how is your income this month?”
At my words, Baek Sang-ho scratched his head and said.
“The parts released last month sold quite well, thanks. haha.”
And the instructors at the center that researches and releases these parts, no, those who are now called researchers, make the parts with their everything.
Of course, the reason was money.
Because I was paying them incentives according to the sales of parts.
Therefore, to make parts that somehow sell well, they make parts regardless of means and methods.
Someone builds a quadruple arm and hits it, another researcher builds another version of that quadruple arm, or reinforces it, and so on.
At first glance, you might think that this is plagiarism, but in the first place, they are all researchers from the same center.
In addition, if one person made a 4th tier arm and made a hit, if only the researcher’s version of the 4th tier arm was acknowledged, the development of the 4th tier arm would stop there.
Therefore, I created a competitive structure by completely opening up.
Thanks to this, the parts of the skeleton that researchers develop more and more by studying the algorithm every day.
“It’s all thanks to the president.”
okay.
Thanks to me.
But all these changes are made by people.
I use people’s magic to create essences and use those essences to draw not only the protégé products at the magic circle factory, but also the magic circles that are now needed for parts.
Perhaps even if I disappear right now, at least it will be possible to maintain and develop the skeleton I have made so far?
‘Isn’t this how skeletons replace all future robots?’
Of course, well, that’s in the distant future.
So, while I was listening to the report from the center to Baek Sang-ho, I got a call on my cell phone.
And when I checked the number, I took a deep breath and said.
“It’s this gentleman again.”
That person is Lee Seon-jin, the Deputy Minister of National Defense.
I answered the phone and said
“Yes. That’s me.”
– Chairman, have you thought about it?
What Sunjin Lee is talking about is the electrification of skeletons.
In other words, it was the production of military skeletons for use in the military.
“Because I don’t.”
– You’re very persistent.
“The Vice Minister does not know about giving up.”
The bodyguard and competition skeletons are released in large quantities, and the fighting power of the skeletons has already been verified.
At the same time, as strategic tactics using skeletons have gradually developed in the league, even the most conservative organization, the Ministry of National Defense in Korea, now wants skeletons.
Of course I refused, but Vice Minister Lee Seon-jin, who led the development of skeletons in the Ministry of National Defense, was very persistent.
– As you said, I never give up. So can you give me some time?
“To say the same thing again.”
The strength of defense and the benefits that come from the skeleton have already stinged in the ears.
– It’s going to be a little different this time.
“Is it different?”
– I’m thinking of changing my approach.
what is this again
I thought for a while and said.
“Are you coming this way? Or shall I go?”
I’m definitely not going to do this this time, and I’ll have to declare it.
-Five! Are you taking your time? Wait. I’ll go right away!

Deputy Minister Lee Seon-jin, who came to the president’s office like that, said:
“It is very difficult to see the president.”
“Of course it’s difficult, how much work I have.”
Although not listed, Ceron has already entered the top 10 in the business world based on estimated sales alone.
I put down my coffee cup and said.
“You said you would take a different approach. Please tell me.”
“Since my location is location, I think I’ve only talked too much in principle. So I was worried. How can I convince the president?”
Lee Sun-jin looked at me and said.
“And I wondered why the president wouldn’t use the skeleton for military purposes.”
“As I said, I want to benefit society with a skeleton, not a military use that kills people.”
“I know. Because Seron’s business policy has always been the same. But wouldn’t that be the reason?”
Lee Sun-jin looked at me and said.
“Isn’t the reason the president rejects military skeletons because of the people?”
The problem with military skeletons is that people’s lives are dictated by military skeletons.
I’m sure there will be some debate as to whether the military skeleton’s response is right when it comes to killing people.
Of course, it is not left to the skeleton’s own judgment, but it can be used as a kind of weapon and let the person who calls the skeleton decide.
Just like the teams in the Skeleton League.
But why do you need to worry about getting insulted for doing something that might be controversial in the first place?
If you just don’t do it, stop doing it.
“Of course I understand. You are more sensitive to your reputation than anyone else.”
How can someone who understands stick with you so persistently?
“But isn’t it a lot different now than it used to be?”
“Is the situation different?”
“Ceron, who has only been doing business with people who are concerned about losing their jobs due to skeletons. But how about now? Skeleton is closely related to the livelihood of small business owners across the country. Where is that? It has now become a sport and is gaining popularity. In other words, people’s rejection of skeletons has virtually disappeared. Anyone who comes up with the skeleton crisis now would be treated like an idiot.”
That’s right.
The thing I was most worried about was that the fear and loathing that I received at Seron would be the same in Korea.
However, as skeletons have recently spread nationwide and have become common in everyday life, skeletons are now taken for granted.
“Of course, a strong military skeleton now protects the people? If you welcome it, you will welcome it, but there are not many people who will reject it.”
Then he pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to me.
“This is the proof.”
“What is this?”
“This is a survey commissioned by an institution.”
Survey?
Having received the document like that, I began to read the contents.
“Any opinion in favor of military adoption of skeletons … 63 percent?”
So high?
“There was an overwhelming majority of opinions in favor. Most of the dissenting opinions were opposed because of doubts about the skeleton’s performance rather than rejection of the skeleton.”
This is what changed the way.
“I don’t know why the president is concerned. There may be objections from within the military that national defense should not depend on individual power. There may be unexpected side effects. But as you can see, the people want a military skeleton. And even at this moment, our precious youth are being wasted on our military duty.”
I don’t think that’s what the Deputy Minister of Defense would say.
“I am not trying to replace soldiers with military skeletons. It’s just trying to replace unnecessary wasted military manpower with skeletons. Like some kind of unmanned device.”
I’ve been researching the reactions of people I’m most sensitive to with surveys, and I use skeletons like unmanned equipment, not soldiers.
I’ve been preparing well.
Vice Minister Lee Sun-jin said with a earnest expression.
“So, let’s just do a test. What if there is a problem? Then it’s not enough to just blank it out then. Chairman Han. Please.”
