Chapter 17: Fired, Finding a new job and Coffin Company.

3rd Pov

Sunlight shines little by little brightening the dark night showing it was morning. The scene transitions to Y/n getting up from bed and he rubs his eyes to clear up the dust at the eyes. Next, he goes to shower and gets dressed to go to work but the phone rings catching his attention and he goes to pick it up and looks at showing Manager, and answers it.

Y/n Pov

I answer the phone and hear Manager Poh's voice from my phone.

"Y/n?" Manager asked.

"Yes, I'm Y/n. Need something, Manager?" I asked him.

"Uhh...you're probably don't know but....you're fired from the job along with me..." The manager said unsurely.

"What...why?" I asked though shocked, I managed to get some composure back to know the answer.

"Ah...that, the owner said he was tired about protecting his property that keeps damaging or something. So, yeah. I was also fired as well and...the last paycheck has been transferred if you're wondering....Y/n?" Manager asked hesitantly.

I kept composure though my mind was racing about how I'm gonna find a new job considering the previous owner of my body had a hard time because of the job's competition. Hearing the Manager's voice brings me back to reality and I answer him.

"Ah, sure. Thank you for informing me, Manager. By the way, have your leg gotten better?" I asked concerned.

"OH, that, yes, it getting better but I still need to stay at the hospital for a while."

"I assume that today will be our last day working together?" I asked with a somber tone.

"Haha, yeah."

"I see, see you later, Manager."

"You're welcome."

I put away my phone from my ear and sigh to relieve my mind from shock and breath in and out to keep myself steady.

'Ugh, what should I do now?' I thought restlessly but then I decided to get a new job.

'Whatever, I'll find a new job.' I thought with determination but you know reality isn't so easy. I begin to take the necessary documents to apply for work.

Montage of Y/n tries to find a new job.

First, Y/n tries his luck at the grocery job but the place is full. Next, he goes to a small company but the company can't afford another worker. Then, he tries his luck at a restaurant which had an advertisement but it was for girls and Y/n forgot to read the paper fully. Later, he goes to the café that advertises the position but the café condition worries him even after seeing inside of the café which is full of stench. Finally, he goes to the pizza shop which is the nearest job he knows but the Manager there said.

"Haaahh! You think you're handsome enough to land a job here!!!" the Manager said and I looks around and sees many handsome faces on the counter even in the kitchen.

"......" I said nothing.

"Scram!! I refuse to take an ugly guy like you!!!" the Manager said and slams the door in front of me.

'Rude...thought, I wonder what's wrong with him?' I thought and my stomach rumbles and I go to the nearest shops and buy some sandwiches. Then, I sit on a bench and eat the sandwich.

'Ughh, at this rate, I'll be unemployed and I don't want that!' I thought before seeing the sun a bit lower than noon. I then put out my first phone and switch it on showing the time of 2:00 pm.

Next, I go to find a job again but the comments....

"No, we already have our accountant."

"Nah, even though you look decent. Sorry, can't"

"do apologize but we don't have enough money to hire."

"Sorry, sir. I cannot hire you."

The comments somehow made me feel offended but I shrugged it off and goes back home to eat and rest along with training. But on the way there, Maria is about to unlock her door and sees me.

"Oh, hello Y/n. Nice to see you again. You look...tired. What happened?" she asked me.

Deciding to make a summary, I said.

"Job. Lost. Finding a job is unfortunate. Night, hungry.home." I said making Maria confused but realize what I'm talking about.

"I see, you lost your job, huh?" Maria said." How long?"

"Today."

"I see, don't give up early, will you? And don't end up like Sylvia, please." Maria said desperately.

"Hahaha, sure. I'll see you later, Maria. I'm going to cook dinner after this. Wants to come in later?" I asked her.

"Ha, as much as I wanted to, my job needs me. So, I'm sorry, Y/n."

"Nah, is fine, by the way, I assume you know some recipe for a guy like me? I want to expand my repertoire."

"sure thing, next time, Y/n," Maria said and goes to inside her room apartment. I looks outside a hallway for a while and enter my house.

"Home sweet home," I said happily and put off my shoes and goes to prepare dinner which is cream stew considering I had bread and rice.

' Delicious, I outdid myself by creating dishes from honkai impact.' I thought and devours them instantly leaving none of the food on the plate. Then,I finishes it and washed the plate after dinner. Right now, I seat on my couch and go in thought.

'I need to find work but considering the competition of work, its gonna be hard.' I thought and looks at my hand and it glows neon lines and only stop there and ceased glowing and I clenched my fist.' Episode 3 is coming and I need more arsenal. Omicron?"

"Yes, Master?"

'Do you have a scanning function like from nano-machine comic?'

"Yes."

'I see, thanks.'

"You're welcome"

With that out of the window, I look at the time which shows 9:00 pm and I open the TV with some boring cartoons on till 11:00 pm. Then, I go to nanite's world after I lays on my bed.

In Nanite's world

Y/n Pov

Here I am standing in the usual place which is flatland after Omicron changes it and I ask Omicron.

"Hey, Omicron. I want the enemy combined with EVO as well."

"Understood and Have a nice training, Y/n."

Then, appears multiple enemies even from Counterside including Beast somehow had cannon along with multiple EVOs. I take a deep breath and my body glowing and I tell my nanites to create Smack Hands and Punk Buster. Immediately, the machine formed around my arms and legs. I look at the enemy in front of me and observe them. The enemy seems to be wary of my doing. Deciding to make the first move, I crouch and make Punk Busters hold more pressure.


The ground then cracks under pressure when I'm releasing the hold jumping me high to the air as possible. EVOs and C.Os watched me blasting into the sky. While I'm in the sky which is black and blue because this is Nanite's world. The weight of gravity kicked in slowly and suddenly I fall even faster and I hold both Smack Hands to the air. The ground is approaching fast and the wind blows my face ferociously swaying my hair and clothes.

The enemy watched as I fall in their direction and retreated but alas it was too late. I then slammed Smack Hands with the momentum of earlier actions. My actions smash down the enemy who got caught it ranging from disappearing to blue data but also creating a cloud of dust. Using this as an advantage, I run towards the enemy with Punk Buster still on creating a lot of tremor and confusion to the enemy. C.O who is the most in front of me after I created that dust found itself flying caused by yours truly. Next, I began stomping making the enemy scatter and one of them jumped to me and I caught it and crush it making it disappear. Then, one by one I destroyed them, stomping, crushing, and using my drill which is the second function of Smack Hands.

The enemy dwindles quickly and I attempt to finish this early. I retract my builds and the enemy seeing opening rush at me and I dodge backward and punch it making it fly back and the second one appears jumping at me and I had no time to dodge and just put out my hands grabbing the enemy paw which is the common type of C.Os in Counterside. Acting on instinct, I electrocuted him making him disappear to blue data. I look at my enemy which I assumed was only 50 left considering I didn't count earlier.

Summoning my sword and looking at electricity on my left hand. I grab my sword handles with both hands and I look at my sword and attempts to flow my lightning into the sword. The sword crackles with lightning taking the enemy's attention including myself. The lightning crackles with its purplish-yellow color. I grinned and dashed to the enemy catching them off guard and swiped my sword but I didn't take account on its effect.

The sword slashed unleashing a storm similar to the Demon king longsword from Solo Leveling. Me being someone who just created a terrifying weapon...well....

"Holy Moly!!! I need to be careful using this outside!!!" I exclaimed in fear and looks at my sword which is still crackling with electricity. Then, I look at my enemy who is running towards me. Deciding to finish early, I just swing my sword creating a storm along destroying all enemies. The enemy finished and the land goes back to what it was before and I was still holding the sword having no idea how to turn this off because it was still crackling with lightning.

"Omicron, rate my fight, please?" I asked while looking at my sword.

"Calculating Rating.....Showing information."

Then, a big interface shows up and it shows an A making me sigh softly.

"Hey, Omicron. Any idea how to turn this off?" I asked showing my sword.

"You just need to think it's off then."

I do as Omicron said and the sword lightning turns off and I desummonned it back.

"Tell me, just how did the lightning earlier happen."

"This is due to space attributes which are useful to fight against imaginary factors like Qliphoth or the like."

"Because of that? Damn, I need to be careful using that ." I said." what time is it, Omicron?"

"it is 2:00 a.m"

"Alright, time to sleep," I said and pulls myself out of Nanite's world and goes to sleep.

Timeskip By Y/n trying to practice flirting on the mirror but Hilde and Mina see him making him embarrassed.

3rd Pov

The sun rises showing the dawn of a new day and the scene transitions Y/n waking up from his bed and yawning. He goes to take shower and gets dressed and gets out of the house to find a job. But, alas, he returns with failure. Right now, we can see him sitting on the bench in the park which is bustling with people.

Y/n Pov

*Inhales*

*Exhales*" ugh, I never know that it was this bad to find a job.." I said in an upset tone to myself and takes a deep breath again. I stand up again and keep walking to somewhere with no destination in mind and somehow I stopped in front of Coffin Company making me look behind me showing I walk pretty far from home. I ask Omicron.

'Omicron, just now how many walks earlier?'

"Calculating...it is 30 min walk to this, Master."

'I see, no wonder it's far and I tried to find a job but still hasn't been accepted yet.' I thought somberly and exhales my breath.' Might as well try here if I have a chance.' I thought to myself.

Going to the door which is locked by the scan card system, I look inside and the receptionist sees me and opens the door. I enter and go to the receptionist.

"Uh, miss? How can I apply to work here?" I asked a bit shy considering I never really talk to women.

"Oh, you want to find a job here?" she asked and I nodded.

"Please enter this form first." The receptionist said and I fill the form which goes along with my email and position I'm interested."Thank you, you will be notified if we set an appointment to interview with you. You can go now, sir." She said and I nodded and leave the company and sees Hilde, Shi Yoon, and Mina.

"Eh, Y/n?" Mina asked surprised.

"Oh, you're here, Mr?" Shi Yoon said

"What are you doing here?" Hilde asked though in a somewhat harsh tone.

"Finding a job, lost last one after some.....events." I said recalling the previous work hunt earlier."Never mind about it, what are you guys doing?"

"Oh, just done back from job," Mina said and I looks at her and she is sweating a lot along with Hilde and Shi Yoon.

"I see, don't let me hold you here, see ya later," I said waving while walking and going to a nearest convenience store to buy lunch.

"See you later!" Mina said although a bit too happy for some odd reason making Hilde looks at her.

"Hey, rookie. Is he your boyfriend or something?" Hilde said accusingly after her attitude changed when Mina sees me.

"Wha! Of course not! He's just my friend!" Mina denied strongly but then turn a bit meek after she hears it blushing a little bit."Not like I..."Mina said in a whisper but shakes her head."I'm gonna take a bath. See you later, Commander."

"Sure." Hilde said looking at her then Shi Yoon who is quiet the entire time."Got something to say, my apprentice?"

"Haha, not really, Master but will you answer if I ask?" Shi Yoon retorts.

"..." Hilde said nothing and just looks at Mina and goes after her leaving Shi Yoon behind.

"Ha, Master. Will you admit it, you have been snooping around him to find out about his weapon." Shi Yoon said to himself and open one of his eyes looking at where I goes off."And you, Mr."

A/N: I know I'm late to update but exam and illness block along with writer's block and constructive criticism is appreciated.
