I Am The Sorcerer King chapter 11
Chapter 11
Song Hoon has himself awakened his past life. And most likely, there will be no more cases like him. But the awakened ones, who have a unique class, have every chance of succeeding in the future.
Watching them appear and then picking up such awakened ones is the task of the agencies.
“The buff is important too, but Paralysis is highly valued.
“You can catch the monster alive this way, right?
Director Lee Gi Suk nodded his head at Song Hoon’s relaxed responses.
– Clear. Dead monster or alive – sometimes they cost ten times more.
– So, how much are you willing to offer me? Sung Hoon asked.
– I would be grateful if you look through the documents. Everything is spelled out there, – the representative of the agency held out the papers.
The guy began to slowly read them.
– Everything seems to be good … but the conditions are too amazing.
“Yes, outstanding people should work for outstanding people,” the man confirmed.
– The profit from the sale of the monster is divided 9: 1, but the seller of HD Monster Industry is a monopolist … Got it. And you propose to make money like that? – carefully studied Song Hoon’s text.
– Yes, it is very important for us to have a stable supply of monster carcasses. In addition, margins remain even higher as the intermediary companies do not intervene.
– Is it the same in other places? The guy asked.
– Nearly. In fact, the conditions in all companies are similar, – his interlocutor confirmed.
During the days when Sung Hoon was the bait, it was common for the proceeds to be split 7: 3 or even 5: 5.
If it was an awakened one with good skills, then 8: 2. But he had never heard of anywhere a profit split like 9: 1.
– And what about the ordinary Awakened, is everything exactly the same? He asked.
“Well, there is an interview for such people,” the man replied.
Song Hoon seemed to understand the situation after hearing Lee Gis Seok’s words. They set these conditions in order to lure great beginners. 9: 1, where Song Hoon is 9 and companies are 1, these are very good conditions.
Plus, according to the contract, it was said that when the level rises, a bonus is due. He was offered a two-year contract worth 500 million won.
Roughly speaking, after signing the contract, you could get money and not go hunting.
– You are now building a house, we are ready to provide an inspector for the construction site. We could take care of all issues of land purchase and construction.
Song Hoon knew about this. When he was bait, he saw such companies operate.
– To begin with, I’ll think about it. You need to listen to opinions from the outside. When I make a decision, I’ll call you.
“Yes, please.” Lee Gi Suk didn’t mind.
He walked away very gracefully.

– Can he buff and control at the same time? Is he a super rookie? – asked the head of the SH Company Rade Management
It was a branch of the SH Group: currently the largest branch after SH Electronics.
They hunted monsters (in fact, it’s a hunt: the Awoken hunted, but from a corporate point of view, it looks more like mining for raw materials), so they were a large company.
– What about information about him? Maybe someone has already started before us?
– Here are the documents, head of department.
– HD Group has already contacted him!
– Heck! HD Group are bastards. They are so fast.
The head of the department quickly ran through the documents.
– Get it! Offer a billion in a contract, but get it!
– Received!
The SH Company Rade Management also quickly dispatched a man with the same mission.
But it wasn’t just SH.

– What’s that? .. We’re not at the bazaar …
Song Hoon, a powerful man who gained a reputation as a great magician in his previous life. But, we can say that he did not have such cases either in the past or in this life.
– You are Sung Hoon? SH …
– Song Hoon, we’ve been expecting you. I’m from Eldie …
A day after his conversation with a representative of the HD Group, people from other companies suddenly gathered in front of his house.
– Ah, um … Calm down first.
Hearing Song Hoon’s words, the crowd fell silent for a moment.
– To begin with … SH and Aldie, and the rest of the method of rock-paper-scissors determine your turn. The first thing I will talk to is the person from SH.
It was very easy for Song Hoon to give them a line.
After all, they are not the main ones.
The main one is Song Hoon.
***
– The conditions are the same.
Cafe.
Song Hoon sat alone and reviewed the contracts those people had left him. The conditions differed only in tax terms, otherwise they were the same.
In short, SH has the most expensive contract, one billion won, a two-year contract, plus they promised to transfer his mom to a prestigious hospital.
The SH Health Foundation is a very famous place, so they could be trusted. But this is not enough.
“Hmm… I never imagined that they would try so hard to get me.
Although Sung Hoon was a great sorcerer in a past life, he was not a rookie whose abilities quickly emerged. He had to overcome many difficulties and try very hard.
Therefore, the guy did not even imagine that everything would happen this way.
– Well, it will be more convenient in the company …
In this regard, the agency was like a butler. It took over all the things that annoyed Song Hoon.
In return, he would provide them with a profit.
But regardless of whether Sung Hoon made a deal with them or not, there was no change in his plan. Build a house and in it, converting electricity into mana, increase your abilities. But this will not affect their cooperation in any way.
Still, convenience was important.
After all, they would have saved his time.
In the end, he made a decision.
– Well, in that case …
Song Hoon picked up his phone.
***
– Thank you for giving us a chance.
Song Hoon sat opposite Lee Ki Suk again.
– Not worth it. Thank you for adjusting the conditions for me.
Yes, Song Hoon liked the HD Group company, which met him first, but the original contract amount was increased. For this, he announced the terms of the SH Group contract and received better terms.
HD Group offered him 1.2 billion won and Sung Hoon signed a contract.
“I hope for good cooperation,” the guy said.
– We also hope for good cooperation. From now on, you can only trade monster bodies through HD Monster Industry. Making transactions in other places will be considered a violation of the contract, – said the agency’s representative again. – Oh, yes, since you were the bait … You know everything, right? Well, these are basic things. The contract requires you to participate in the regular HD Group race five times a year, he added.
– Of course. Can you create a team through HD Group? Sung Hoon asked.
– Of course.
In general, agencies do three things:
The first is the creation of a regular strike force for the so-called Race Team. However, whether he works in a team or not depends entirely on the will of the awakened one.
Second, they watch over the convenience of the awakened. They take on the solution of all issues, from lawsuits to the purchase of a building under a contract.
Third, the agency promotes the formation of fears among the awakened ones who have contracted with them. Despite the deal made, those who refused to join the regular race team mostly used this system.
In this case, doubt arises. How to be awakened who don’t want to join a team and want to hunt alone?
Those who are in the agency but work as a freelancer?
This problem was solved in the process of forming a group of buttons. When organizing such a group, it was first proposed that the result of the hunt should be sold to the agency.
Of course, under such conditions, no damage dealer would have joined such a group of buttons.
But if it’s a healer or a tank, that’s a different story.
Especially when it comes to such an outstanding support as Song Hoon.
Even if such conditions exist, there are many people who would want to hunt with him.
– Then I hope for our cooperation.
“I will do my best,” Seong Hoon promised.
Song Hoon and Director Lee Ki Suk shook hands.
***
The issues of land purchase and construction were entrusted to the agency. They will make sure that the house is built without any problems.
At this time, Son Hoon’s mother was transferred to S. Hospital. The best hospital in Korea, excluding SH.
In addition, she was placed in a single room with three nurses, so that in the event of any critical situation, she could always react quickly.
This all happened literally three days after the signing of the contract.
During this time, Song Hoon was looking through the list of Awoken who were part of the HD Group agency.
“My abilities are outstanding, but somehow I’m still a beginner,” he realized.
Song Hoon’s level is still low. Although his abilities are excellent, the other members had very high levels.
The lowest level was 67th and the highest was 97th. This is a very big difference from Song Hoon.
The highest level in the whole world is 115th. Although the abilities of the ordinary Awakened were not as outstanding as Song Hoon’s.
Because even the 115th level would not be able to withstand the black dragon Akal, which Song Hoon had fought in his past life.
Based on the collected information, he made a conclusion. If the maximum level was 115, then these Awakened had a fighting strength similar to that of a swordmaster or a 6th class magician in his past life.
“It’s not enough just to increase the mana level through constant training. I have to go hunting alone, the guy decided.
Ultimately, Song Hoon decided to create a Bug group outside of HD Group. Until the moment he can make magical items, he will have to do so.
Therefore, he created a chat on the net for the awakened ones.
Tapping the keys quickly, he typed in information and posted a message:
[Support is looking for a group of buttons]
I’m a support, Lee Sung Hoon. 5th level. I have buffs and can control monsters. The mana pool is very large. I belong to HD Group, so we sell through them.
I am looking for level 5-10 participants. One healer, two damages, one tank.]
Song Hoon finished his writing and stopped.
– No, I can heal, hmm … – he rewrote the message.
[Healer / support looking for a group of buttons]
I’m a Healer / Support, Lee Sung Hoon. 5th level. I have buffs and I can control monsters and also heal. Mana – 41.
I belong to HD Group, so we sell through them.
I am looking for level 5-10 participants. Two damage dealers, one tank. My share will only be 40%.]
– Well. At such a message, they will flock like bees to honey, ” Song Hoon chuckled.
But Sung Hoon overlooked something: he did not mention that his abilities are very, very rare.
He did not know how capable people who were born with a golden spoon in their mouth were treated. After all, he woke up by himself after all his efforts in a previous life.
It was a mistake.
And he can fix it.
