《Real Life Can Be Interesting Too》A Real Life Regular Day at Work
Advertisement
So far I've managed to make it halfway through the day. It's another regular day where I've already finished my work so I'm just browsing the net and doing some window shopping. An hour passes and I get bored of that so I swap to the phone game I've been playing lately.
I pass the hours as I level my character. Why can't real life be like this...
My thoughts are interrupted as my boss calls me into his office.
"We need to go over your efficency numbers." he says.
Great, it's that time of year again. They say that a performance review is good because it helps you improve. But, I don't see how it helps. If they really wanted you to get better there would be a concrete plan.
"We've noticed that the projects you're working on have gone over-budget and over-time" he says.
I open my mouth and try to say something, "I'm trying to but I'm having trouble with getting the client to deliver the starting materials on tim..."
"You have to make sure that we are working on time and on budget." he interjects.
"Do you have any suggestions on how I should go abou..."
"You're going to have to improve your numbers or else we may have to let you go. We've discussed this matter..."
My boss' words grow faint as I zone out. What's the point of even having this conversation if he isn't interested in listening to what I have to say. Sometimes I feel like the performance review is just an excuse to make me feel bad.
I wonder what kind of skills he would have if this was a game. I guess it would probabaly go something like this...
My Boss (Richard)

Not cool. Not being able to control this constant change in your powers in any way? Not awesome. People considering your random powers - that can range from completely useless to nigh godlike - to be a threat to the world as they know it? Really bad.

Jack of All Trades, Master of All
Jack was reincarnated, again. This time, the omnipotent sphere had finally revealed to him that this new world was, in fact, the real one, and his soul had just returned to his body after two years of coma. During that span, the Earth or the magical world No.146, where he was The Grand Sage, was just a simulation experience. Jack inherited the System of Knowledge from his former self in the previous world. But gradually, he realized there were other Returners, holding other powerful Systems that they themself were also granted. The reason? The Omnipotent Sphere refused to give an answer. With the ever-burning desire to find his former friends and companions at World No.146 after their souls too were returned to this world, Jack began his journey. Ahead of him, five hundred years old as he technically was, there might be some surprises he still wasn’t prepared for. This is an original translated work. I’ve always wanted to challenge my writing skill and post on Royalroad a few times, but, as it turned out, I realized my own English capability still limited me. Therefore, I am currently working with a team of three, hence the name Triopals, consisting of me, the author, a translator, and an investor who really put his faith in this project. My translator and I will work together to deliver four chapters each week. Depending on the translating, editing, re-reading, checking, and re-reading-again process, the chapters will be uploaded each day or all at once. Careful as we may be, there can still be some errors at our best, so we welcome grammatical corrections, etc. We are very appreciative of your support.
