Lenz city, Espat.

Inside an abandoned house, space fluctuated and a teen teleported out from thin air. He was still in the same prone position with his sniper in front of him as he was teleported out.

He got up and first packed his sniper into a guitar case and put it inside his spatial ring. He then walked out of the abandoned house sneakily and left the area quickly.

The teen switched his tracks continuously to make sure no one was following him, and after an hour of attempting to get away from the abandoned house, he finally relaxed. He looked around to see where he was, and upon closer inspection, it appeared to be an alley just a few minutes’ walk from Lenz city’s main market.

The teen emerged from hiding and began strolling towards Lenz’s market. There were many stone-paved paths in the market, as well as many single and double storey stores.

There were many vendors selling various items via their stalls on the streets of Lenz city’s market district. There were also many sellers who just laid a mat on the road and placed their various items on it to try and sell it.

One can find a lot of things in these places. It could range from the simplest low quality magic stone to a high quality weaponry technique. One just needed to find it and have the knowledge to differentiate between a fake and a real one.

The teen walked the streets of Lenz city market district and after fifteen minutes of walking, he reached in front of a shop in a remote area of the market that seemed to be pretty run down and broken. On the shop it read ‘Lmka’s coffee – now closed’.

The teen walked in front of the door and pushed the door, which opened easily. He walked inside the coffee shop and looked around to find no one. He then walked towards the kitchen of the shop and arriving at the kitchen, he saw stairs leading upstairs and downstairs.

He chose to go downstairs and walking along a long spiralling staircase for a few minutes, the teen reached a metal door. He knocked on the door, two long knocks and one short knock, and the door opened on its own.

Walking inside, he saw another door but in front of it stood two bulky and strong looking men with moustaches and no beard. To which the teen didn’t bat an eye and walked past them. Reaching inside, he saw a lively atmosphere.

Many people were present here, drinking, eating and having a fun time together. It didn’t look any different than a pub to the teen. The teen ignored everyone else and walked to a certain room and hit it thrice with a short knock and once with a long knock.

This door too, like the previous one, opened on its own and the teen walked in. He saw a chubby man smoking a cigar sitting on a chair behind the table. He was wearing a blue suit and seemed to be very fat.

The teen walked towards him and sat opposite to him. He took out a card from his pocket and swiped it at the machine present on the table. As he did so, a mechanical voice was heard, stating

“Relz Khiv, signed in.”

The chubby man took a puff of a cigar and said to the teen, “the mission has been completed, Relz. Your reward will be transferred to your account within an hour. Do you want to take up another mission or go on a break?”

The teen nodded his head and said, “Break it is. Also, what was the background of the old man? I was never told anything about it except for his personal info stating his residence, job, race, age and name.”

“He was from the opposition party in a small business. His partner wanted him dead for it and paid us. Anything else you wanna know?” The chubby man said.

“No. I am not interested. That man was from the demon race which is vile and evil. They all should be exterminated. None of them are innocent and I did a favour by killing that man. I am happy to have brought a little justice. I’ll now take my leave.” The teen said and left.

The chubby took another puff and looking at the departing figure of the teen, he muttered, “only now am I starting to understand why such hypocrites don’t live for long. Heh, Relz, till how long are you going to survive?”

Abalax sky island, Espat.

“Thank you for buying at Gezols, do visit again.” A black-haired, black-eyed teen said to a person present in front of him.

After the person left, he sighed and walked towards a room behind him. Going inside, he sat on the sofa present and slumped back on it. He muttered in a tired tone,

“It’s so hard to earn money. I wish this damned system wasn’t stingy in rewards. Anyway, I should check up on the missions I have. Open mission tab.”

As he said that, he closed his eyes and “saw” a blue screen. A cold mechanical also rang out in his head that read the string of words present on the blue screen,

<Missions>

[Daily missions]

[Monthly mission]

[Pending missions]

“Open pending missions.” The teen muttered softly.

<Pending missions>

“Hmm, I have to capture that guy within 5 days. Sigh, how much do I have to work hard…” the teen said. After taking a short break in the restroom, he went back to working at Gezols.

Gezols was a big fast food chain in the world and had its branches in many places. Abalax sky island was no exception and the teen was currently working as a cashier there.
