How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

“The response is very hot.”

An advertising event with a prize of 20 million won held in a street crowded with young people became a hot topic among people.

That’s also true, even though it was held nationwide, there was not a single successful person except for the case where they were exposed for participating in the event while hiding that they were awakened for over two weeks.

At this point, people began to be more interested in shields than winning prizes.

“Did you notice that the product is a bag?”

Deokbae Kim nodded and said.

“yes. Most are guessing that the bag is related to this event.”

According to Lim Jun-il’s insistence, information provision was minimized to give experience through experience rather than direct information, but there were many hints that the bag was the purpose of the event.

It’s as if it’s already over in that you have to break through the shield and get the bag to get the prize money.

“How about design evaluation? It looked pretty to me.”

“It’s all well-received.”

“okay.”

Both design and function are popular with people.

When this was released, it was clear that it would be sold out unconditionally.

“I’ll have to make it in advance, so there’s no shortage of supplies.”

“By the way, Chairman, shouldn’t the line of orders made by the Chairman be engraved on the inside of the leather of this bag?”

“Yes. That’s why I made it in advance.”

“Are you planning to make this with a skeleton later?”

“I don’t know if it’s really going to be too much production, but I’ll do it myself for the time being.”

If you want to engrave a magic circle using a skeleton, you need to make another tool that can engrave a magic circle.

Besides, the skeletons copy the same magic circles and print thousands of them in an instant, but it’s only about one shield magic.

“Then, it’s safe to promote this bag because the president made it himself.”

“I made it myself and promote it?”

“yes. In addition to the superiority of using a bag made by Chairman Ji-hyeok Han, an SS-level Awakener, wouldn’t it give you the feeling of being directly protected by the Chairman?”

“oh! I’m fine.”

Of course, it’s a promotional phrase that means nothing to myself.

In the first place, the Seron Group’s tens of thousands of skeletons had to put in a lot of effort.

But from a buyer’s point of view, the feeling is bound to be different.

“And I plan to limit the initial quantity to just 2,000 pieces.”

“Is it possible to maintain scarcity by adjusting the quantity?”

“Of course, that’s a reason, but rather than that, it’s a question of price.”

“What is the price? Is it too expensive?”

Then, Deokbae Kim shook his head and said.

“It is the opposite. Cheap is too cheap.”

“Eh?”

2,000 is cheap?

“Do you know how much a typical luxury bag costs? Only 15 percent.”

“Is that all there is to it?”

“Luxury products are worth the name after all. On the other hand, what about us? In addition to the artificial water, the premium leather and designer Lim Jun-il’s royalties are considered to be close to 10 million won. If we add various distribution and marketing expenses to this, the profit we get will decrease even more. That’s why we sell them in limited quantities of 2,000.”

Deokbae Kim said with a confident expression.

“To raise the price with each new release.”

I said with my eyes shining.

“Are our bags the cheapest now?”

“Exactly.”

The shield is a solid function and outstanding design.

In addition, if the price of an item with a clear selling point that it was made by the president of a conglomerate and an SS-level awakening person directly increases the price every time a new quantity is released, people will think that it is better to buy it as soon as possible.

Of course, the more we do, the more our bags will be out of stock.

“If the bag continues to be out of stock like that, its position as a luxury item will be further solidified.”

I said with a thumbs up.

“Good good. I will only trust the vice president, so take care of it.”

“All right.”

I looked at the calendar and rubbed my hands.

“There are two weeks left.”

In the next two weeks, the shield bag will be featured in a fashion show under the name of Lim Jun-il.

I said with a bright smile.

“Let’s try the luxury bag market.”

*

A famous influencer who was invited to Lim Jun-il’s fashion show.

However, her interest was somewhere other than the fashion show.

“It’s today… Where are you releasing it?”

The event suddenly hosted by Seron was a hot topic in the city.

A bag that creates a transparent shield to protect its owner.

Of course, it’s speculation since there’s almost no published information, but if it’s true, it was the most necessary thing for her who became a star by sharing her daily life on social media.

“I’m not a fan and I can’t stop all the guys who come close to me. That too naturally.”

Although she gained fame and earned a lot of money by sharing her daily life, ironically, that fame destroyed the daily life that made her famous.

Because so many people recognized her, she couldn’t live a normal life itself, and even among them, there were people who approached her with a sinister mind, so she even became afraid of going out.

However, if you have a bag like this, you can protect yourself anytime, anywhere, so you can live with peace of mind.

“The design is also pretty. ah. I want to have it soon.”

While I was thinking about something else, the fashion show started in earnest.

She stared at the models indifferently and said with a surprised expression when she saw the bags the models were holding.

“uh!”

The bag is exactly the one she wanted to buy just a moment ago.

At that time, a similar reaction erupts from those around her.

“That bag is that!”

“Shield!”

“Could it be revealed here?”

She and the people around her were embarrassed because there was no word in advance, but such embarrassment soon turned into joy.

Making it public here means, in other words, an opportunity to see and live in the real thing today.

Even after that, the clothes keep changing, but the bags don’t change and the models keep wearing the same thing.

In that way, the fashion show ended amidst people’s anticipation.

Then Lim Joon-il appeared from behind the stage carrying a bag.

“Nice to meet you. This is Lim Joon-il.”

Lim Joon-il looked around and said.

“Did you enjoy the fashion show?”

People said that

“It was great!”

“You are also a designer.”

Then Lim Joon-il smiled and said.

“Then I’m glad. But I know very well. What are you more interested in right now than anything else?”

Lim Joon-il said as he lifted his bag.

“Isn’t this the bag?”

Lim Joon-il said as he slowly walked down the runway holding a bag.

“Why did I unveil this bag at my fashion show? The reason is simple. Because this bag is something I designed.”

At that, the influencer said with her eyes shining brightly.

“Did Lim Joon-il even design it? Crazy jackpot.”

“Where is that? The CEO of Seron Group, Han Ji-hyeok, also participated in making this bag. Chairman Han himself drew a line of command to add a protective shield, or what we call a shield, to this bag. A bag designed by me and produced stitch by stitch by Chairman Han himself. That is the identity of this bag that you have been curious about.”

At that, all the invited people whispered.

“Is it great? Chairman Han made it himself?”

“A shield bag made by the chairman of a chaebol who is an SS-class awakening person. How can you put up with this?”

Im Joon-il said while enjoying the reaction of such people.

“We have already done enough performance tests elsewhere, so we won’t do it separately. I’ll just say one thing for sure, except for the Awoken, that no ordinary person can pierce this shield bag. Of course, you can’t stop the gun. hahahaha.”

Lim Joon-il, who threw such a light joke, said.

“The initial quantity is 2,000 pieces. Among them, about 200 people who attended here will be given the opportunity to purchase one at a time. The rest of the items will be sold in department stores soon. ruler. That’s a long talk.”

Lim Joon-il said as he lifted his bag.

“We are starting to sell the first shield bag of Protige, a luxury brand created by the Seron Group.”

*

Brand Protégé, newly launched as a luxury bag by Seron.

Protégé means to protect in French.

I just picked it because it seemed like there was a bit of a French thing to do.

Anyway, Protige’s shield bag, which was officially launched like that, aroused tremendous interest starting with Lim Jun-il’s fashion show.

All of the attendees are well-known celebrities, whether on social media or in the entertainment industry, and since they were given their first shield bag, they couldn’t stand still.

Celebrities who certify the shield bag on their SNS, and in addition, produce a performance test video and promote it on their own.

Of course, the more celebrities praised them, the more their desire to own them soared.

And, receiving such attention, Protige’s first offline store officially opened at Apgujeong Department Store.

And the result is, of course…

“The 600 pieces prepared for the first day’s sales have been sold out.”

sold out in an instant

600 in just 2 hours.

“Incredible.”

“Actually, this is a foreseeable situation. Since yesterday evening, the number of people who have pitched their tents and waited has already exceeded 500.”

People waiting the day before to buy a bag.

Of course, there are many resellers among them, but the fact that there are resellers is proof that there are many people who want that much.

“Now, we are going to sell only 200 pieces a day in limited quantities, sell all of the first batch, wait for three weeks, then sell the second quantity at 2,200, and so on, increasing by 2 bags each time we sell out.”

The final amount Kim Deok-bae thinks is 3,000.

If it is lower than this, the value as a luxury item is damaged, and if it is higher than this, it was decided that accessibility is too low.

I was also satisfied that the profitability was good enough.

“Are there any complaints about the shield?”

“It is not at all. For example, if there are a lot of objects around, there are complaints about the shields distorting to the shape of those objects.”

While I was making this shield bag, I devised a shape that would be distorted if there was an obstruction in the shield range.

I made it that way considering the characteristics of modern society where there are many obstacles around.

However, there is no problem with the protection ability, just because of the shape, but it seems that such dissatisfaction came out because luxury people who value appearances were forced to buy it.

“That’s a cosmetic problem, and it’s enough to recast it from an unobstructed area, so what does it matter? Just ignore it.”

“All right.”

“Anything else?”

“doesn’t exist.”

I said with a smirk.

“It’s good.”

If Protégé becomes a brand name completely, it will mass-produce all kinds of shield masterpieces.

“Let’s make it so that if you see the Protégé logo, you wouldn’t even dare to touch it.”

“of course. ah. And I watched a video of an experiment on You Tube, and there was a video of blocking rain with a shield.”

“Is it raining?”

“yes. How about applying that idea to make a hands-free shield umbrella?”

“Oh oh! That’s good!”

Weaken the strength and create a shield only on top to use as an umbrella.

Isn’t this the king of practicality?

Of course, it’s a magic weapon that costs money to consume magical power every time it blocks rain, but it’s no problem since only those with the financial ability to accept it will buy it in the first place.

“okay. Let’s do that for our next lineup.”

*

As the first batch sold out due to the sold-out procession of the shield bag, and the second batch started to sell at 2,200, the storm intensified.

Protige openly said that the cost ratio was high and that it would continue to raise the price in the future, so the price of the shield bag went up to the resale price and sold out.

At that time, the next thing that appeared was the hands-free shield bag.

It is a product with an umbrella function added to the existing shield bag, and the price is 30 million won.

Of course, this too was sold out as soon as it came out, further enhancing the name of Protige.

Since then, Protégé has continued to release new lineups, including men’s shield bags.

As I was cruising along like that, I heard an irritating news to my ears.

“A fake?”

A fake that appeared in a situation where sales exceeded 100 billion in a month in Korea alone and were marching like crazy.

Of course, it was not unknown that fakes would appear.

For those who long for the safety of the Protige logo but don’t have the money, the best alternative is a fake.

However, I had already made up my mind to tolerate any level of counterfeiting.

Unlike existing luxury products, Protige products that can be shielded are very easy to distinguish between genuine and fake products, so it was expected that the damage caused by counterfeits would not be large, and above all, those who purchase counterfeits are also a reserve who want to have the real one someday. As a buyer, I decided to just leave it alone.

So, when fakes became a hot topic, I did interviews and launched Protégé to make everyone feel safe. It’s a fake logo, but if people can be safe from crime with it, I’m satisfied, and I tried to pretend to be a good person in the world… This fake story is a bit different.

“They sold it as a genuine product?”

I understand that they sold fakes as fakes.

It is a natural desire for people to feel the value of luxury goods for a small amount of money.

There’s even a perception that criminals can’t touch it if you’re using Protige products, so it’s all the more so.

That’s why I was going to condone it, but selling counterfeit products as real products has crossed the line.

It’s no different than stealing our prospective customer’s money.

“yes. It is said that they pretended to resell it and sold it as a genuine product.”

“These bastards…”

Dare you steal my client’s money?

I haven’t even shaved yet?

“Report to the police and release the person to catch him. If you need an awakened person, ask Park In-gwi, the guild leader.”

“All right.”

Deok-Bae Kim also said with a cold face, as if he was very angry when someone interfered with his project.

“I will tell you exactly who you dared to touch.”
