Reincarnated as a tail - A Reincarnation Progression LitRPG Story

Prologue "I am ruined," I muttered in despair as I looked at the dismissal letter in front of me. My company is in dire financial strait due to the pandemic spreading across the world. As such, every employee's wage was halved. Furthermore, a year after the pandemic, the company began firing its employee because of the deep debt it is now. All the wealthy investors ran, and the company is now facing bankruptcy. "Yokoda Shuichi…" My boss called me. "sorry, but the company will no longer hire freelancers like you. I hope you understand." He said. This b***h. I have already worked here for over 3 years and am still considered a freelancer? "Yes…" "We also can't give you severance payment either." "Yes…" "And you also have to forfeit the wage you earned this month. You may work until the next week, or you may go now. You are not obliged to do anything... I am sorry for this. The company is currently on a witch hunt to find people to fire. Your mistake in the previous accounting book should not have any impact. Still, they wanted to find any fault to reduce their expenditure as much as possible. " "Yes…" I am just a freelance worker. Even if I protest, it would be of no use. I needed to hire lawyers who cost money, defeating the purpose of only a week's salary. This world's system is constantly pressing the weak. "Hey, Yokoda! A seminar is going on. You need to attend!" My coworker said. I walked toward the seminar hall like a zombie. This company rented a space in the middle of a luxurious twin tower building. I need to go up 2 floors to reach the seminar hall. Since I am too lazy, I still took an elevator there. "We can become the head and not the tail! If you want to be prosperous in the future, You need to start taking the lead! Don't follow the trend! We need to be the trend! Ask your friends and family, and you will lead our company into a brighter future! "The gorgeous influencer tried to scam us into some kind of pyramid marketing. The company wasn't like this 2 years ago. But it adopted a vicious marketing scheme ever since it tried to pander to investors. I didn't listen to a single thing these bitches said. I just stare in a daze like others. I am not the only one fired in this. I can see several people wearing the same despairing face. BLAR!! A loud explosive sound was heard below me. Tremors shook the building for an instant until a faint smell of smoke permeated my nose. "Terrorists have hit this building with a plane!" some security guard screamed. "Run to the roof! We need to call some helicopters to evacuate!" Panic and chaos ensued as the building started to get hot. As more and more people ran to the roof, the seminar hall started to get deserted until I was the only one left. I have no desire to save my life. If I die, my debt will die with me. At least that will spare my parents from suffering. My name is Yokoda Shuichi 25 years old. Even when death came near, I felt happy. I will be freed from my student loan, and I will be released from my nagging parent. Tears started to flow from me as I had achieved nothing in these 25 years of life. Ordinary grade, ordinary college, and ordinary company. No girlfriend nor female friend either. I kept gazing at the ceiling as smoke started filling the room. Smiles crept up on me as my end was near. The luxurious building cracked as the sudden temperature change damaged the pillars. At that moment, I laughed. "Hahaha!!" So this building is only luxurious on the outside. But on the inside, this building was like my company. It was like me, a worker in a seemingly prestigious company who was ridden with inescapable debt and fired without care. I coughed from the smoke as the c***k spread from the pillar to the wall. My vision blacked out.
