This soldier's name was James, he was just a normal human lucky to get to the second stage and was assigned to be a guard/soldier for his lord. Life has been monotone for James for the longest he could remember.
Sometimes he wished that something would happen and bring a change to his bleak world, all he was stuck doing was guarding the castle gate of his lazy lord who didn't even put an effort to manage his territory. All his lord does is eat and sleep with women and at the end of the month half of everybody's effort is transferred over to him.
James of course couldn't complain as compared to the others, he was working for the same lord and so he was still able to get his own share and live a good comforting life unlike others. James remembered how he woke that day adorning his armor and sword.
