It's been 3 days since I was thrown out and I have not been able to accomplish anything.
"I am hungry."
I mutter as I lay down on the side of street. Even though I have determined to get my revenge, I am still useless and pathetic and I can not change that.
"For now I think I should try joining mercenary."
* * * * * * * *
Everyone has their eyes in me as I enter one of mercenary hall. I endure the glare and head to one of mercenary group.
"Hey isn't that one of trash bastard of patriarch of bloodrune?"
"Tch bloodrunes are no brainers. No wonder he turned out this way."
"I heard he was kicked out for being too incompetent."
"Well the clan only needs talented puppies afterall."
I hear their remarks as I move to greet the leader of mercenary group.
"Sir I am-"
"I don't need to bother remembering your name. What do you need?"
He says in a deep low voice. Now that I come close to him, he is fucking tall and extremely bulky. Maybe a shielder or something.
"I want to work with you."
He glares at me with doubt folding his bulky hands.
"Boy what's your speciality? swordsmanship?"
"Yes, I might help to some extent."
I notice some people laughing at me talking behind my back. My bad luck and bloodline itself is the main reason so I try my best to ignore them.
"Boy you don't look strong. Which class are you?"
"I am..... 1 star"
Pfft!!!!
Suddenly people burst out laughing out loud they had been holding back like a maniac.
It doesn't matter. Ran you must endure this humiliation. You will do better. Just a little longer, endure it.
The leader looks at me with disdain. His glaring eyes shoots me like sharp needles.
"Then you have no need here. Go away kid."
I would but I am desperate you know. I am not gonna give up that easily.
"Sir please, I will do anything."
"Anything? then how about you lick my shoes."
I hear a mocking voice but it was not from the man infront of me but from his behind.
"Kelt shut up."
"Why brother? This looks interesting. This guy looks like he will be of some use."
*Sigh*
He sighs as he decides to step out of his brother's way. Kelt comes near to me with devilish smile. He looks very thin unlike his brother. His body feels like its suffering from some malnutrition.
"You want to be of some use right?"
"Yes"
I say respectfully.
"Then grovel!"
"Huh?"
"Grovel and lick my shoes. Throwing your shame and bood lineage, grovel and request. I may help you. You know I am vice leader after all."
He says with evil grin. I was in a big dilemma. But since I have not eaten anything for 3 days, I have no choice. I will be kind to repay you this humiliation someday bitch.
Throwing my shame closing my eyes, I bend my knees and head on floor and come near his shoes and start to lick it.
...
I don't know how it stimulates people. These people feel more twisted than my half brothers.
"There I cleaned it all. Now please allow me to enter. I am willing to join even if I am paid half amount."
I say with my head and voice down too shameful to look in their eyes.
His brother who has been calmly observing me steps in'
"Alright. We will pay you 3% of total amount we get from a mission."
"3%? that's-"
"You have a problem?"
He looks at me with disdain so I bow my head.
"No sir!"
Not only I am scared but I have to room for keeping my dignity. To survive I must do whatever I can.
"We wasted too much time. Brother geld we have a client asking to investigate Lieor forest's outskirts. I heard there is some strange energy radiating there. It's our first high difficulty mission. They agreed to pay is us good amount."
"Lieor forest? I heard it's extremely peaceful forest though."
"This is a recent news brother. Should we accept this?"
"It won't hurt to try."
The fuck do you mean won't hurt? He said it's high difficulty mission. Be serious you stupid bucklenut.
"Everyone get ready we will leave immediately."
His brother shouts as he move out of the mercenary hall. His followers including me follow after him. Its sems they accepted the mission.
I knew the risk of joining and I am ready to do whatever it takes to survive. I will either die surviving or live another day.
* * * * * * * *
It's been 5 hours since we walked to the forest. Finally they decided to rest and have some meal break. I am happy because leader feeds his members in mercenary group.
I eagerly wait for the meal even if it's rotten I will eat. After a while the Geld comes near me and gives me some food.
"Here, be grateful boy! Don't be a free loader."
"Yes, sir Geld I will do whatever I can to be of some use."
He hands me over the meal. Surprisingly it wasn't that bad. Even though other members' food seems to be more fresh I don't care.
"It's edible"
I say as I munch the food vigorously. I can see some guys and even kelt glaring at me but I don't care. I have food so I am not gonna heed others' gazes.
* * * * * * * *
"Everyone we have arrived here. Take out your weapons and get ready."
Geld says as he takes his stance.
"Brother this energy..... I think we should retreat."
"No! We will atleast try to observe it's strength."
"brother?"
"We have these lambs afterall."
Both curve evil grin in their cheeks suddenly. I wonder what's so funny here. I have be careful of them. They don't seem to have good intensions.
