****(POV)
Jack was a simple ordinary man with grand dreams. He knew very well that he wasn't a genius. All that he had now had been obtained through hard work, discipline, and luck. Yet, he had somehow managed to join Draconic.
He was living the dream. It didn't matter to him that he was only a cog in a bigger machine. He just wanted to do his part the best he could. He wanted to contribute and to know that he was actively building something.
But as with every good dream, it shattered when morning came. In this case, it happened because of a man: Josh Motherfucking Malum. Who was he, and where did he come from? He had just come out of nowhere and had started ordering people at the guild as if in charge.
Jack had faith in the management of Draconic. Back when the world was despairing with the Tower appearing, Dario had instead been reassuring people. He was the reason Jack had joined Draconic in the first place.
