****(POV)
Ever felt like a nobody? Ever felt like your existence served no purpose? Ever felt like nothing more than a stain on the wall?
Well, that's how Markus felt at that moment as he "participated" in the damn conference call. Oh, it wasn't that he lacked self-confidence or that he didn't have self-worth. No, he had a vital role in Metropolis D.
He was an A-Rank official. In other words, he was the top dog of the Metropolis. As far as their continent went, there was no higher government rank than this. That was because all Metropolises were all equal, in theory anyway. There was the S-Rank too, but that one was reserved for extraordinary circumstances.
