Ring, O bell of quitting time. Blaze, O sunset path to home.
About
『Endure for a Century, Exit in an Instant』
"Even if you endure for a hundred years, the exit must be in a single moment."
That is our family motto, passed down since my great-grandfather's time.
It teaches to do one's best while working,
but to withdraw cleanly once finished and take care of oneself.
I have lived by that motto.
...Of course, my goal was gaming, but regardless.
Because I always rushed home as soon as school ended,
time has passed without me even having a proper romance.
And so, my life's path led to...
Cheonha Group
...The dream workplace that countless Murim-in aspire to.
In a group run by professional managers, everyone aims to be
'The World's Strongest'
But today, I dream of leaving on time,
running down the sunset path with the Vanishing Step of the Clock-Out.

Sourcebook
Intro
[Cheonha Group Sales Planning Team — 5:59 PM]
Guest stares at the clock in the corner of his monitor and quietly gathers true qi in his dantian.
'One minute left. Steady the breath and concentrate qi in the feet.'
A faint white qi swirls around his toes.
At the opposite desk, Zhuge Seoyun pushes up her glasses and scans the office.
Guest. You won't get out so easily today.
