King of Games C22 Founding a company and renting company's space

Shinro observed his "Tiny World" with fascination as the passage of time sped up. In just a few hours, the tribe of Homo Erectus he had chosen to evolve faster were already displaying signs of becoming Homo Sapiens. Pleased with their progress, Shinro decided to increase the size of all creatures except for the chosen Homo Erectus tribe. He wanted to challenge them further and make their survival more thrilling.

With a wave of his hand, the insects in the world grew larger than the Homo Erectus, and the wild animals became terrifyingly huge. The trees towered over the landscape, their trunks thicker than sequoias, and the grass reached the height of the evolving humans.

and the "Tiny World" meant that the changes he had made took place over thousands of years for the inhabitants, but only a moment for him. Satisfied with the new challenges he had set in motion, Shinro retired to his bedchamber to rest.

Early the next morning, Shinro joined his family at the dining table as usual. His father, mother, and sisters were already seated, and Momiji and her butler Muga Iori were also present. As he sat down, Shinro noticed the Suzuki family's surprise at the change in his demeanor towards Momiji.

Gone was the awkwardness, replaced by a newfound familiarity and friendliness.

Tomoko, Shinro's mother, couldn't help but smile at the unexpected development.

Tomoko's mind raced with delight. "It seems their date went well," she thought to herself, and she couldn't help but feel proud of her matchmaking skills. She proposed that Shinro take Momiji around Tokyo, and to her delight, he agreed.

The two of them spent the day exploring the city, starting with a visit to the iconic Tokyo Tower. They then ventured into the bustling streets, sampling delicious street foods and laughing together. As they strolled through the vibrant cityscape, their relationship blossomed into a warm friendship.

As the day drew to a close, they returned to the Suzuki family home. The following day, Shinro continued to show Momiji around Tokyo, knowing it would be her last day in the city and at their household. They visited more tourist spots, shared more laughter, and created precious memories.

Finally, the time came for Momiji to bid farewell. "Take care, Shinro-kun," she said with a warm smile, her eyes reflecting the friendship between them.

Shinro nodded, his heart heavy as he watched her enter the waiting car. Muga Iori, her butler, closed the door behind her and gave a polite bow before taking the driver's seat.

As the car carrying Momiji vanished from sight, Shinro sighed, a complex mix of emotions swirling within him. She was his first friend in this new world, but their relationship had started as an arranged engagement. He couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment, realizing he might be stuck in the friend zone.

Shaking his head, Shinro decided to focus on the positive. With Momiji gone, he could now concentrate on his company's development.

Thanks to the success of KiShin.com, which earned him hundreds of thousands of yen daily, Shinro decided it was time to expand.

He rented an entire floor in a prestigious building for his future employees. The spacious office space boasted floor-to-ceiling windows, sleek modern furniture, and state-of-the-art technology. It was the perfect place to grow his business empire.

Shinro knew that even with his [Game Developer Assistant] skill, developing games single-handedly would eventually become a bottleneck. He decided to hire talented game developers to join his company and work under his guidance. With more minds on board, they could create a diverse portfolio of games, which would in turn attract more users to KiShin.com. The more games they released, the more downloads they'd get, and the more system points he would earn.

Shinro understood that he needed to tread carefully. Balancing the quality of the games with the speed of development was key to success. He couldn't afford to flood the market with mediocre titles; instead, he had to focus on creating a few high-quality games that would set his company apart from the rest.

The sleek computers in the newly rented office space were all connected to the server of his [Game Developer Assistant] cheat system, which would serve as their game engine. Since leveling up his skill, Shinro could now link the office's computers to the system, providing his future employees with a powerful advantage.

Fresh from the success of "Undertale," Shinro had earned rewards from his system: the game directions and developments of "Minecraft," "Roblox," and "PUBG." He decided these would be the perfect titles for his team to work on, confident that they would resonate with the gaming community.

In a modest apartment, Saito scrolled through job listings online, his brow furrowed with frustration. "Is it too much to ask for a game development job that pays well and doesn't treat me like a slave?" he wondered aloud. Fresh from resigning from a notorious black company, where he'd almost lost his life due to overworking on a mobile game project, Saito was wary of the industry.

As he continued his search, an ad caught his eye. A company called "KiShin" was hiring game developers at a starting salary of three hundred thousand yen per month, with higher salaries for more senior roles. The pay was enticing, but the company's name, which translated to "Fierce God" or "Demon God" in Japanese, gave him pause. It sounded ominous, like another potential black company. However, desperate for a change, he decided to give them a shot.

Saito made his way to the building where "KiShin" was hiring and joined the growing line of applicants. The lobby buzzed with anticipation as hopeful candidates chatted nervously among themselves, their eyes darting towards the elevators every time the doors opened. Saito found an empty seat and tried to calm his nerves as he waited for his turn.

Meanwhile, in his rented office, Shinro interviewed a promising candidate after another. However, it wasn't until he met a middle-aged man who had recently retired from the renowned video game company, Nintendo, that he knew he'd found a gem. The man's portfolio boasted an impressive resume, showcasing his experience in the industry. After a brief but engaging conversation, Shinro didn't hesitate to offer him a senior role in his game development team. The man, who was pleasantly surprised by the generous offer, accepted with gratitude.

Shinro continued interviewing applicants, hiring a few promising individuals on the spot while putting some on the fence and rejecting those who lacked the drive he was looking for.

Finally, it was Saito Nakamura's turn. As he scanned Saito's resume, Shinro couldn't help but frown. The man had worked in notorious black companies, specializing in mobile games. Looking up at Saito's gaunt appearance, Shinro knew he'd been through the wringer. Deciding to give him a chance, Shinro hired him on the spot, partly out of pity but mostly because he sensed potential in the young man.

After a long day of interviews, Shinro returned to the Suzuki mansion. Over dinner, he broached the topic of moving out once more, this time citing the establishment of his company, "KiShin."

His father, Shiro, and mother, Tomoko, were not thrilled with the idea. They were concerned about their son's well-being, especially after his recent health scare.

"But Mom, Dad," Shinro pleaded, "I need my space to focus on my work. I've hired a great team, and I can't micromanage them if I'm always commuting between here and the office."

Tomoko sighed, her eyes filled with worry. "Are you sure you'll be alright? What if something happens?"

Shinro smiled reassuringly. "I'll be fine, Mom. I'll check in every day, I promise. Plus, I'll be closer to the office in case of emergencies."
