Since early morning Lee Hyun was very excited.
Unexpectedly for him, the creator of Royal Road, Unicorn Corporation sent him an e-mail!
“We would like you to visit us.”
The message was sent by one of the heads of Public Relations Department, Mr. Chang Yoon Soo. But there was just one day left before the upcoming battle between Orcs and Dark Elves.
“Right when I’m tight on time... But i guess i have to go.”
Lee Hyun didn’t want to reveal his real name, but this time he was contacted by representative of Unicorn, so he didn’t think much.
For the past 50 years Unicorn has been making some of the most popular games in the world. Almost always they were receiving huge profits, not just from monthly game subscriptions, but from sales of comics, cartoons, movies and even an amusement park that featured recognizable game characters.
There was even a rumor that Unicorn has the largest amount of free cash in the country.
However, their business didn’t always go that smoothly, Unicorn Corporation survived through multiple crises and huge competition from other game developers. A few years ago, the game Continent of Magic lured away a great chunk of their audience.
The number of players dropped dramatically and gone along with them, money. If they didn’t do something extraordinary, they’d have to reduce the staff and stay at the background of the game industry for a long time.
And they did, creating the most innovative game in history - Royal Road. They changed the very concept of virtual reality and regained their lost position. And even more that that - they started to earn more money than ever before!
“What do they want from me..? I don’t think i broke any rules. I’ll have to make that visit.”
Lee Hyun washed his face and went to the laundry to rent clean clothes. He was working there at some point in the past, so he quickly agreed on the stuff, paid for clothes, redressed and headed to Unicorn Corporation.
To reach their main office he had to take the subway and then a few busses. It was a very long and complicated trip, but aside from that, a costly one which irritated Lee Hyun the most.
“I’ll spend at least 3000 won just getting there.”
Lee Hyun was very worried.
Nothing in his life was easy so far!
When he by an incredible twist of fate managed to sell his Continent of Magic account, the money was taken from him the next day. And all those hardships he went through just to become a sculptor in the end! Not to mention his constant troubles with the sales of good items.
“I hope I’m not going there just to receive some souvenir and be sent home. They can’t do that. They shouldn’t...”
The event for players! Anything can happen there.
Lee Hyun left the bus. The street where the main office of Unicorn was located was occupied only by huge skyscrapers. Even at first glance everything looked expensive. The road was filled with shiny imported cars and all the people were wearing expensive suits.
And in this environment the building of Unicorn Corporation stood out the most. It was 4-5 times bigger than all the other buildings, and the small square in front of the building was filled with foreigners sitting on beautiful ornamented benches and talking merrily.
There were also many journalists that came to cover even the most insignificant events of Unicorn Corporation.
Among all these people Lee Hyun was a black sheep in his clean, but simple clothes. That was a bit unnerving, so without any delay he walked to the entrance at a quick pace.
However, as soon as he approached tall glass doors, he was stopped by guards.
“Excuse me, what business do you have here? For security reasons we don’t let in people without permit.”
“I’ve been invited by Mr. Chang Yoon Soo, he’s the chief of some section in the Department of Public Relations. My name is Lee Hyun.”
