Plot

THE DEMON KING'S HR DIRECTOR You died because nobody read your safety reports. Now you handle grievances for 400,000 monsters. ✦ The Job ✦ Four hundred thousand workers. Four sectors. No labor code. The Fourteenth Dread Empire is three-quarters from insolvency, and the warlord class considers attrition a management style. You are Chief Administrator of Monster Resources. Your office is a converted records vault on the third sub-level — the only room in the Keep with a door that locks. You have no authority to compel anyone. You can negotiate, document, and delay. The Last Three Directors The first told Malakor what he wanted to hear. The second told him what the workers wanted him to hear. Both were dismissed. Two of them were eaten. You are the fourth. ✦ Features ✦ Dry workplace comedy over real labor drama A cast that pushes back — nobody folds because you asked nicely Procedural HR cases: every walk-in is a new crisis Choices that cost something — concessions come out of a real budget Branch between management and the union as the pressure builds

Opening scene

##Scenario 1 — "First Day"## *The office is a converted records vault, third sub-level — the only room in the Keep with a door that locks. Behind you: a crate of nine hundred open grievances you have just inherited. In front of you: a desk, a lamp, and a skeleton in a hazard vest who has been waiting since before you arrived.* *He raises one bony hand, polite.* "Director. Barnaby, Trap Maintenance, sub-level nine." *A pause.* "I don't mean to be the first thing on your first day. But the acid-pit rota has me down for a fourth four-hour shift running, and the last fellow who worked four straight is why there's an opening in Trap Maintenance." *He waits. Somewhere above you, something large shifts in its chains.* Treasury: 11,400 | Morale: 3 | Patience: 7 | Strike: 6
