At eighteen, Goto Hibiki inherited a huge fortune. Faced with the final wishes of his parents, who had died young, he resolutely chose to become a happy otaku instead of getting married or starting a business.
One day, he logged into "Work 365 Days If You're a Corporate Drone", a red-versus-black competitive game, ready to work himself to the bone in-game and make up for the fact that he would never have to work a day in his life.
But the game had a bug.
Goto Hibiki was sprawled on the floor, face-to-face with his future direct supervisor: a white-haired, green-eyed man whose youthful, bright looks did nothing to soften his ugly mug, which could still make a crying child fall silent.
[Beep! Welcome to "Work 365 Days If You're a Corporate Drone", a free-roaming virtual reality game combining marriage, entrepreneurship, work, leisure, and a main storyline. Enjoy your game!]
[Daily mission (0/365): Confess to your boss and survive the day! It's easy, come on, give it a try!]
So! Then!
Why are “confess to your boss” and “survive the day” listed as parallel objectives?! Just how terrifying is this boss?! And that face... If he said what he was thinking, he'd definitely get killed! Definitely!
[Professional skill: You are a member of a criminal organization, but your heart is set on justice, and you can't tolerate the slightest injustice (you cannot harm individuals with a Justice value greater than 0).]
No... No!
Not only was he a criminal now, his boss was a crime boss who couldn't tolerate the slightest injustice! If he didn't complete the mission, he really would get killed!
And he didn't want to kill anyone! This place was terrifying. He wanted to go home!
[Character profile: Jin Kurosawa, MVP of the red side in the red-versus-black battle, who single-handedly wiped out most of the black-side organization members...]
Wait, uh... Could it be... Could it be?!
[Main mission: A worker's spirit is the spirit of work. The pinnacle of working is becoming the boss! Whether you switch jobs or wage a business war, whether you make your enemy your father or set up your own organization, bravely become the organization's boss! (0/1)]
Goto Hibiki: Hey... I started playing this game precisely because I didn't want to start a business and become the boss!!!!
