Possessing Nothing

“That's real.”

It was Hans who ordered it, but I honestly didn't think it would work. He asked a 14-year-old boy to catch five Orcs. He's not a skilled artisan. He's not a skilled magician. No class, 14-year-old kid.

The boy carries ten Orc Eyes.

“I almost died. ”

Lee Sung-min's goal was a sham. While he was lying in ambush, he sweated red, and dirt spread all over his face. The smell of blood, sweat, and dirt are mixed together to smell.

“Where did you get that? ”

“Where can I find the Orc Eye? ”

“You might find an Orc corpse. ”

“You just don't want to give me a sub-space pocket, do you? ”

Hans laughed as Lee Sung-min opened his eyes and asked. Hans shakes his head for a long time.

“No, that's not it. We agreed to give it to him. ”

Hans mutters as he pulls the subspace pocket out of his pouch.

“Here. 600,000 Erzáry subspace pockets. ”

Lee streaked like lightning and received subspace pockets from Hans. Lee smiled brightly and tucked the subspace pocket into his pocket.

“Thank you!”

“You laugh like a child. ”

Hans smiles bloody and dies.

“What do you mean, like a child? He's a kid.”

“Of course. It's been two weeks since I've seen you... I've never seen an old boy like you. What the hell are you doing here? Are you out of your mind? ”

It was an accurate assessment. Seolmin grumbled, pouting.

“I think it's normal. ”

“Puhaha!”

Hans grins at the boat. It's hard to pretend to be a child. With that thought, Lee Sung-min took out five axes and placed them in front of Hans, whether they popped up at the entrance of his bag.

“Take this or buy it. ”

“You cheeky bastard. What do you want me to buy this for? The day is almost gone and the sack is about to be broken. ”

“All you have to do is pull out the iron and sell it in the forge. ”

“What kind of moron blacksmith buys an iron that isn't properly managed? ”

“Still... It's heavy, but I brought it with me...”

“That's your problem. Anyway, I'm not buying this. ”

Hans seems to be doing him a favor. There seems to be no loyalty enough to buy garbage. Lee Seong-min shrugged her dead sheep shoulders.

“Don't be nervous. ”

Hans grunts.

“But you. Don't you want to be a mercenary? ”

Hans suddenly asked a question as he shrugged his shoulders.

“... Mercenaries? ”

“Yes."

Mercenary. We know about him. He will, too, because Lee Sung-min in his past life was in the mercenary guild.

The mercenary was one of the easiest jobs available in Noh class. Becoming a mercenary increases many conveniences. While the fee is high, it was easy to trade the loot through the Mercenary Guild's toolbox, and even the most chaotic cities can be accessed through the Mercenaries.

It is also easy to get a ‘quest’. Every city has a Mercenary Guild by default. Mercenary quests can be split according to their rank, but if you are a mercenary, you can earn money and earn a reputation by completing quests.

“... I don't intend to be a mercenary yet. ”

Lee responded by shaking his head horizontally.

In his previous life, he was a Class C mercenary. It's not a great location. This is because the most mercenaries in the mercenary guild are Class C.

Class C. It was also the limit for Noh Class to enter and enter the Mercenary Guild. If you get a performance, no matter how badly you try in the Mercenary Guild, you won't be able to rise to C rank.

‘Even if I joined right now, I'd still be in F class. ’

Mercenary's lowest grade is G. Lee Sung-min also started in Class G, and barely reached Class C. Even with the same grade, the gap is quite large. If C +, C, C, the isomers were only class C.

Because he had already gone through that process, he knew that he would not benefit greatly if he entered the mercenary guild now. The Mercenary Guild... It's easy to enter, but hard to go up. It is easy to fall down on such topics. If you dry a few quests, your Mercenary status will drop by a certain level.

It is better to accumulate enough strength and join the mercenary guild. It is much better to start in Class D than to start in Class G. The lowest rating that Lee Sung-min is currently aiming for is D. I didn't intend to be a mercenary until I had the skills of a Class D mercenary.

“Hm. Well, I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't. ”

Hans mutters like that and looks at Lee Sung-min.

“Being a mercenary is not bad. It's more convenient that way. ”

“Of course.”

I already know. Lee Sung-min snorted while listening to Hans dry. The stench rising from my body was dreadful.

“Hey. May I be excused? ”

“I'll take whatever I want. You ungrateful kid. ”

“Do you want to be courted by a man? ”

“No. Go, go, go. ”

Hans waves his hand. Lee Sung-min lowered his head to Hans and picked up the bag that he had put down. Then he took a gunshot to get away from Hans.

“Hey! Take the trash! ”

Hans yells behind his back, but ignores.

* “You stink. ”

As soon as I got back to the inn, I hit the deal.

A girl with a little freckle sprayed on her white cheek saw Lee Sung-min and grabbed her nose. Because Lee Sung-min also knew that my body was smelling, he did not excuse the girl's reprimand.

“I know.”

“Woo, you said that again! ”

The girl shoots you with a sharp voice. The girl's name is Rue. She is Jack's daughter who runs the inn.

“It's funny to call your sister a one-year-old girl and say something respectful. ”

“What's so funny? You're younger than me. He's my brother.”

“You're my sister. ”

Lee Sung-min grumbled and put down the bag that was on his back. Rura is 15 years old. I was one year older than Lee Sung-min.

However, Lee could not call her ‘sister’ towards Lura. Lee Sung-min is a 14-year-old boy on the outside, but a 27-year-old bachelor, to a 15-year-old girl. It was a pride that Lee Sung-min could never compromise.

“What about Jack? ”

“My dad's in the kitchen. Tonight we have mushroom stew and grilled chicken legs. It looks delicious, right?"

Lura laughs and says. Jack's cooking skills were quite excellent. Currently, there are two kinds of happiness for Lee Sung-min to live in. One is the velocity of the advancement of the shameless. The other one's Jack's dinner.

Lee Sung-min who always leaves early in the morning couldn't eat the hot breakfast he just served. Thanks to this, his morning was fixed for two weeks with hard rye bread, and his lunch was also taken out of the inn in the morning and replaced with the rye bread he had saved.

“What was this morning? ”

“Baked bread, egg fudge, steamed potatoes. ”

“Must have been good.”

“My dad is a good cook. You can have breakfast with me if you're a little late. ”

Lura, sitting on the table, grunts as she groans. That said, Lee Sung-min smiled bitterly.

There was a reason for leaving early in the morning. Earlier in the morning, there are fewer competitors in the forest. In the forests closest to the hunting grounds of Genabis, the aliens who choose to live in this world come and go every day. When the time runs out, you will encounter them in the forest, and there is a possibility of annoying things happening.

Rather than enduring it, I'd rather spend my morning and lunch with dry rye bread and see what I have to do in the woods sooner.

‘But we'll be able to hunt more efficiently tomorrow. ’

Now that you have a subspace pocket, you can even take food from the forest. I didn't take the milk because I was afraid it might get sunburned, but I might drink it tomorrow.

Milk was important. Right now, the body of a heterosexual is growing, so it may not grow as it did in its previous life without a balanced meal.

“Why do you fight in the woods every day? You always come back smelling like that. ”

Lura talks to you. It seemed boring. Jack's inn was far from the forest, so there were not many guests, and most of Jack's regulars came to eat, not to say he was a welcome guest.

Of course, none of them are of Lura's age. For Lura, she is a friend of the same age who has been born for a long time.

“I'm a bigamist. In order to survive, you have to earn money by catching monsters. ”

“Do you know who's stupid? I know that an alien can survive without hunting monsters. You can get a job!”

Rura shoots. With that said, Lee Sung-min had no choice but to smile bitterly.

Rura's right. There are many ways an alien can live in this godforsaken world, Eria. It's just one of many ways to catch monsters and become a mercenary, like straight people in your past life.

Yi Kyung. Especially among the noh classes that are not empowered, there are many others who give up their work to improve their position.

“How about a job at our inn? My dad, he seems to like you a lot. ”

“I don't cook, I don't clean. ”

Lying. Lee Sung-min was very good at hurdles. When I first became a mercenary, my mercenary squad worked on all sorts of hurdles.

But I didn't want to. He's dead. He's been dead a long time. I didn't want to do hurdles in my second life.

“What if he dies? ”

“Try not to die. ”

“Huh. You think that's as easy as it sounds? ”

“Of course, I know it's not easy. I almost died today. ”

“I don't understand. It's better to learn inn chores and live comfortably than to risk your life. ”

Rura grunts, shaking her feet. Maybe Rura's right. Because he knew his past life, he knew that the efforts that he was making now might be worthless.

“Call me when dinner's over. ”

Lee Sung-min left a note and went up the stairs.

Even though he knew it might be pointless, he wanted to start again and live.

A better life than ever.
