Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent
As the Head of the Security Team of the Order Control Room, she was responsible for managing every out-of-the-ordinary incident within the company.
‘Director Moon Ara?’
What intrigued me the most was the nature of the information she obtained there.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
Shhh.
After staring intently at the pages of the enormous floating book, I cautiously asked my next question.
Then why would she go through the trouble of descending to the deepest part of the Extraction Laboratory just to converse with a Dimensional Entity?
“Why does Director Moon Ara come to see you so often?”
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
The parchment pages trembled slightly before beginning to print words.
[Director Moon Ara is the Head of the Security Team of the Limited Company Where the Dead End Up with Ghosts! shadow She often visits me to quickly obtain the information she needs for her work! silence She is an excellent friend who always provides me with high-quality information!]
Once again, the ink was crisp, and the tone of the message was exaggeratedly cheerful.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
But as the Head of the Security Team, she already had access to virtually all of the company’s confidential information.
It wasn’t an incorrect answer.
The fact that, instead of consulting the system, she chose to confront such a grotesque creature face-to-face in order to obtain information still struck me as unsettling.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
‘And I don’t like that part about “high-quality information,” either.’
I glanced outside the containment chamber.
What kind of information could she have given this monster?
Neither Assistant Manager Son nor Supervisor Shik was anywhere in sight.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
Had they decided that, since this Dimensional Entity was incapable of causing accidents, there was no need to keep watch over it?
The moment I finished speaking, the pages of the enormous book began fluttering violently, as if they had been struck by a hurricane.
Hoping that, at least for now, this conversation would remain solely between the creature and me, I asked my next question.
“Could you also tell me what Director Moon Ara asked you?”
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
However, unlike before, the sentence did not appear all at once.
The icy sound of thousands of pages rubbing together filled the entire containment chamber.
After a few moments, the pages stopped moving, and the ink slowly began spreading across the parchment.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
[If you wish to learn someone else’s secrets, you must also offer me information of equivalent value. anxiety Living information—something that truly piques my interest.]
The period at the end of the sentence felt strangely cold.
The letters formed slowly and carefully, as if someone were hesitating while writing.
[That goes against the principle of equivalent exchange, Mr. abandon Jeong Haeil.]
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
‘Looks like it’s my turn to provide information.’
Omniscient Incompetent’s enormous book floated until it was directly in front of my face.
A faint scent of ink drifted out from between its pages.

What kind of living information could possibly interest this knowledge addict without revealing company secrets?
The dirty intelligence work I experienced during my time as a soldier?
I let out a quiet sigh as I mentally reviewed everything I knew.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
Shhhhhh! All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
Just as I was trying to decide which of those pieces of information—important yet ultimately useless—to share.
The ugliest side of human society?
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
Suddenly, Omniscient Incompetent’s pages began flipping frantically, as though they were screaming.
As I watched its movements, I instinctively reached for Dark Spike, but the storm of pages showed no sign of stopping.
‘What’s happening?’
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
[I possess information that Mr. anchor Jeong Haeil desperately needs at this very moment. apple Are you willing to offer information of equivalent value in exchange?]
After a long while, the book finally became still, frozen like an image, and opened completely to an entirely different chapter.
What did that mean?
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
It never mentioned that the Dimensional Entity itself could take the initiative and demand specific information.
If I possessed something this creature wanted, then the principle of equivalent exchange would also make it easier for me to obtain the answers I sought.
‘Seen from another angle… this is an opportunity.’
The manual said the extractor provided information in order to obtain energy.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
Executive Director Won’s disturbing warning.
Not just regarding Director Moon Ara.
In truth, there were far too many things I didn’t know.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
After thinking it over for a few moments, I swallowed and slowly nodded.
And the very nature of this company.
The truth about Extraction Team 1.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
This time, the letters appeared written in a much thicker, more viscous black liquid.
“…All right. echo What information do you want?”
The moment I finished speaking, the ink swirled violently across the blank pages.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
That unexpected question made my eyes waver.
Omniscient Incompetent’s enormous book trembled directly in front of my face, as if urging me to answer.
‘My family.’
[I want to know about Mr. august Jeong Haeil’s family.]
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
Without the slightest shame, it intended to dig into the most fragile part of my life—the part I had never shown to anyone.
I could feel the greedy gaze emanating from behind its pages.

Mine clearly belonged to the second group.
A brief silence.
They say that all happy families resemble one another, but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
I have no memories of my father.
Because of that, the only people I could call family were my mother and my older sister.
I don’t know whether it was because of a divorce or because I was born out of wedlock, but the truth is that I never saw him or even heard anyone speak about him from the day I was born.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
Most people spend their childhood in an apartment, a house, a residential building, or some other ordinary home.
I don’t know what my case was.
And neither of them resembled a normal family.
“Haeil, our beloved dream and hope.”
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
The only thing I remember clearly is my mother showing me all kinds of things while giving me orders, and my sister, who, unlike me, accepted everything willingly and obeyed without the slightest complaint.
‘And I think I was eight years old.’
The reason my childhood memories are so blurry is probably, if what I learned in my field is correct, precisely because of that period.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
The only thing I’m certain of is that it was shortly before I entered elementary school.
“■■…”
A gaze filled with contempt directed at me.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
What was my sister’s name?
“You are a failure. alien Garbage.”
My sister.
My mother knelt down until she was at eye level with me and gave me a strange, yet outwardly kind, smile.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
Thanks to all the organized support I received there, I was able to prepare to become independent.
After that, everything happened with overwhelming speed.
Fortunately, both she and the entire orphanage staff were genuinely good people.
The bewildered expression of the orphanage director when she found me abandoned in front of the entrance.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
With that, I finished my story as calmly as possible.
“…And now, after being discharged from the military, I work at the Limited Company Where the Dead End Up with Ghosts.”
I didn’t want to keep being a burden to such kind people, so I left the orphanage as soon as I was admitted to university.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
Rumbleee!
The moment I finished speaking, Omniscient Incompetent’s enormous book began vibrating frantically.
As though I were trying to convince myself that people like them no longer meant anything to me.

The air throughout the containment chamber was violently shaken as the creature’s robe fluttered grotesquely at the center of the tempest.
Tens of thousands of parchment pages rose against gravity, forming a gigantic whirlwind.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
[My goodness! timber My goodness! adopt What a perfectly refined tragedy!]
Black ink gushed across the pages like a fountain as it engraved the words.
That reaction was far too exaggerated for someone who had simply acquired information.
The euphoria emanating from between its pages was incomparable to any reaction it had shown before.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
It disgusted me that I had unearthed those memories with my own hands and handed them over to a monster.
However, the more that brilliant light spiraled out of control, the calmer my mind became.
Enormous amounts of energy illuminated the entire containment chamber.

‘I never imagined they’d one day help me survive. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. ’
But neither did I feel any desire to stop it.
When the storm of pages that had been whipping the air into a frenzy gradually began to calm down, Omniscient Incompetent slowly sat back down, like a gourmet who had just enjoyed a magnificent banquet.
What value could those fragments of my childhood possibly have?
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
His attitude was far more respectful than before, as though he were entertaining an honored guest.
A faint bluish glow still lingered on the pages floating above his head, as though the pleasure had yet to fade.
[Excellent, Mr. admire Jeong Haeil. acquire Your life surpasses every classic tragedy I have ever read in value. autumn We shall now proceed with the equivalent exchange we promised.]
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
Every page except one flipped backward.
Shortly afterward, the ink began spreading as it revealed Director Moon Ara’s secret.
[Director Moon Ara asked me a very interesting question.]
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
[Which external Dimensional Entity is being contacted by the “Project Fairy Tale Land,” promoted by the Strategic Planning Office, without the approval of the Order Control Room?]
“Was this really what I needed…?”
A disappointed sigh escaped my lips as I finished reading.
As though it intended to reveal only a single truth, thick letters appeared across the blank sheet.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
That mysterious project led by Executive Director Ahn, in which both Extraction Team 2 and Extraction Team 3 were involved.
Learning that the reason the Head of the Security Team had come to Omniscient Incompetent was nothing more than an ordinary conflict between departments—and that she had even been deceived by this Dimensional Entity—left me with a strange feeling of emptiness.
I had already heard about Fairy Tale Land several times.
‘So it really was something work-related.’
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
It didn’t take long for me to remember where I had heard that name before.
Executive Director Won’s words during the dream.
The Strategic Planning Office.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
It was obvious that humans worked in that department.
— There are also several human employees in the company. amateur There are even outstanding talents in the Strategic Planning Office.
But considering how rarely I had encountered human employees within the company, I couldn’t say it filled me with much hope.

There was no way someone like her would be unaware that someone else could obtain information from Omniscient Incompetent using exactly the same method I had.
‘Someone on Director Moon Ara’s level…?’
Even so, one question still remained unanswered.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
Why leave a record like that?
‘Was it an oversight?’
Then.
Or had she deliberately left that clue for someone to find?
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
Or perhaps that message wasn’t meant for me at all, but was a warning for someone else.
If it was the latter, perhaps she already knew I would eventually come to speak with Omniscient Incompetent.
“…Understood. adapt Thank you for answering.”
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
I gave a slight nod.
The creature immediately regained the exaggerated enthusiasm it had displayed at the beginning and wrote a new sentence.
Omniscient Incompetent’s pages trembled happily.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
Just as the heavy security door slammed shut behind me, I heard Assistant Manager Son’s voice approaching from the distance.
[You’re very welcome, Mr. acoustic Jeong Haeil! august Someone capable of telling stories as valuable as yours will always be welcome! arch If you ever have more questions, please don’t hesitate to visit me again. academy I’ll always be here, waiting for a new story!]
Leaving behind his polite farewell, I exited the containment chamber.
“Hey, Haeil! harbor Finished already? acquire That took you quite a while!”
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
“Yes, I’m finished. atomic It was my first time dealing with a Dimensional Entity like that, so it took me a little longer.”
I quickly concealed the gloomy expression that had reflected the chaos of my thoughts only moments earlier and put on a bright smile.
“Good work, good work. harbor Now head back to the office, finish your report, and you can go home!”
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
With every step, the killing intent emanating from the other containment chambers brushed against my skin.
Leaving Assistant Manager Son’s cheerful words of encouragement behind, I made my way toward the office.
“Yes, Assistant Manager Son. alien I’ll head back first.”
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
And above all, the disturbing possibility that someone might be able to access that information.
But what truly stirred my mind were the remnants of the childhood I had just revealed.
The information I had obtained in exchange for selling the monster the part of my life I most wanted to hide.
Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 54: C-50 Omniscient Incompetent by Indra Translations.
Left with no other choice, I quickened my pace, feeling my legs far heavier than usual.
‘There is no place where I can find peace.’
I just wanted to get off work.
