Underworld Employee: Time Stops from the Start, and King Yama Begs for Mercy

Underworld + Wild Imagination + Comedy + Light Novel + Debt + Daily Life + Unorthodox Shenanigans + Workplace Humor + Unhinged Fiction + Ensemble Cast + Mythology

Good news: I became a Judge, got a government job, and even got a snarky brush.

Bad news: The Underworld has KPIs too. Saving twenty million people is only enough to cover “ten insurances and eight funds.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “Lord Yan, this 50,000 points of yin merit reward comes down to 4.4 after taxes?”

King Yan (petting a cat): “Think bigger. The Underworld’s infrastructure depends entirely on outstanding wage slaves like you.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “Thanks a lot! You’re even stealing from the dead. The Underworld really lives up to its name!” (raises middle finger)

[System notice: Host’s emotional fluctuation detected. Automatically deducting 4,444 points for the “Three Realms Stability Fund.”]

From then on, Xiang Xiaoyuan understood: destroying the world was too much work. Better to rewrite the underlying code and let King Yan get a taste of the bliss of 996!

Judge’s Brush: “Stop arguing. Cut up the sausages. Team-building costs are split evenly, and anyone late loses a year’s performance bonus!”

[Ding! Host saved twenty million people. Reward: 50,000 points of yin merit!]

[Ding! Deducting Three Realms administration fees, income tax, ten insurances and eight funds... Balance: 44.4!]

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “???”

Fine. If you won’t play fair, I’ll just reinstall the Underworld System!
