As it was getting dark, a door opened. A woman passed through the door, her face destroyed by fatigue. The black eyes filled with dark circles. As she sat down as best she could on a small chair. This putting the hands on her face, before finally going to take a shower. Then to get dressed and to sit at a table with many papers on it. With several inscriptions:
<Late rent, Late water, late electricity payments. Eviction notice within 3 months.>
"I can't take it anymore I'm tired." She sighed as her tears began to fall.
But she finally looked up to see several photo frames, including one with the person she loved the most.
"Don't give up, he's counting on you, even in total darkness the light can shine through." She said as her cell phone started to vibrate.
"Ahh, I have to go to work in 15 minutes." She sighed, exhausted.
Then a small voice called to her :
"You're going to work again big sister you haven't slept well in days. At least take a little break. "
"No I can't, go back to bed and then don't worry I'm fine. "She said, kissing her forehead tenderly.
"Okay." He said as he went back to bed.
"Good night Logan, I love you." She says as she goes back to work once again. (Saorie)
As I slowly came back to myself from this memory I thought :
"To support myself, my sister had done a lot of work. So much so that she became a slave. No life should be enslaved by money, people and their cruelties. But my sister made the choice to enslave herself out of love for me. This destroying her health day after day while I contemplated my own helplessness.
No one has the right to steal another's life, no one should become a slave because everyone has the right to dispose of his life as he sees fit."
And the smile of my sister which is extinguished little by little returned to me.
"If someone tries to take my freedom I will steal theirs without any form of compassion or pity. But here I must give the oppressed their freedoms and I will take the oppressors'!" (Logan)
Now fully awake I made my way to the guild. As I walked through the door all eyes were on me.
"Well, it looks like all the attention is on me." (Logan)
"With what you did yesterday it's pretty normal. Completing 100 quests in one day. And on top of that alone. You can explain your skills to me." (Marie)
"Always dream." (Logan)
"You are so secretive." (Marie)
"Well, well that wouldn't be Red. Said Alfred as he arrived with his group."
"Red?" (Logan)
"That's the nickname we gave you after what you did yesterday. You're impressive, you know. You just got here and you're already doing great things." (Alfred)
"I wouldn't join you, I told you that already." (Logan)
"Okay, okay but would you want to go on a mission with us?" (Alfred)
"What kind of mission?" (Logan)
"A C-rank mission. A village was recently attacked by monsters, we have to eliminate them." (Alfred)
"What kind of monster?" (Logan)
"High Orcs their level is about level 45 or so." (Alfred)
"But isn't it forbidden to take quests 2 ranks above your own?" (Logan)
"If the group leader has the required level it is tolerated to a certain extent." (Alfred)
"What is the reward?" (Logan)
"Twenty silver coins each." (Alfred)
"Very well I agree to participate." (Logan)
"Then I'll see you here tomorrow morning." (Alfred)
Alfred left with these words with these men. Logan turned to Marie.
"Be careful with him." (Marie)
"I'm already suspicious, but maybe you can tell me more." (Logan)
"He's taken new people with him before and some of them never came back." (Marie)
"I see thanks for the information, tell me you can give me some information." (Logan)
"Sure." (Marie)
Logan finally left the guild pocketing the money for yesterday's actions.
"In total with these 100 quests, I was able to get 1 gold coin. I'm going to go buy some equipment and it's time to use my encyclopedia skill." (Logan)
I was heading to some specialty stores. It was the first time I really walked around the city because I only knew the way from my hostel to the guild. And the first time I walked through the city the day I arrived, I never really observed anything since I've been here. I've only learned from books. And frankly, it is not glorious far from there. The human race believes it is superior to other races, to the point of exterminating them.
I see then what I didn't see the first time, the slave traders. These beastly girls locked up in cages. Like wretched objects the people who approve of this or who simply look away. My blood just boils!
A beast girl fell to Logan's right. Dropping many objects.
"You bitch!" Said the man raising his hand with the intention to beat her.
But his arm was stopped by Logan.
"What the hell?" (Man)
"Are you ok?" Says Logan, they has he examined the girl.
She had a beautiful white fur, unfortunately there was blood on it and wounds. A deep bloodlust emanated from Logan directed against this man. Bright red eyes ready to devour him looked at him. He fell backwards turning white, his breathing stopped and sweat ran down his face. As Logan slowly reached out to the man with only one thing on his mind.
But another hand touched his.
"It's okay don't worry sir...." (Half human)
"But..." (Logan)
"You'll only get in trouble and then everyone is watching." (Half human)
Logan looked around and all eyes were on him. And this scene had not escaped a certain person. Logan finally got up and started to walk again, then cries of pain rang out as she was beaten again. Logan bit his lips and blood flowed trying to ignore the situation. His face was tense and his eyes shone with a bright red light. This color showed a boundless thirst for blood.
"Tell me how much for the girl?" Asked a man. (???)
By the end of the day, Logan had made all these purchases. He had bought some leather, fabric, wire and some metal plates. He had also kept some wolf skin that he had hunted.
"Encyclopedia." (Logan)
A stream of information began to flow through Logan's brain. All the knowledge from his former World.
"This is what I was looking for, the making of a light armor with my own style." (Logan)
Ultra fast learning was also requested. This allowed him to learn sewing and tailoring.
Skill obtained: High sewing
"I got an interesting skill. So I can probably get more."
The outfit that came out was a lightweight outfit that does not impede movement. With the style of dress of his former world featuring a hood.
"Well, that's exactly what I wanted to get. Having access to all the knowledge of my old world is a real good. Well it's late it's time to sleep." (Logan)
Logan finally fell asleep until the next day. Then he went to the guild where Alfred's group was waiting for him. However, there was one more person carrying bags. This person was the half human from yesterday.
Logan is an orphan born with a genetic anomaly that gives his eyes the color red. Taken in by a benevolent family, his life will change dramatically. And he will be called to discover a new world invoked by it. As a hero? Certainly not, he will now follow his own path.
