Year 2080, Kolio City...
Five years ago, Towers came into existence. They appeared out of nowhere, and out of them came monsters that we only knew about in stories.
Ogres, Goblins, Vampires, and Others... The government tried to fight them back, but everything seemed useless against those monsters.
At last, they had to resort to nuclear weapons. Cities were evacuated, and nuclear bombs were dropped on the towers, but it turned out to be useless as well.
The tower was invincible. Every 24 hours, a wave of monsters would come out of the tower and kill thousands of people.
But one day, they came into existence... the humans who had received magical powers.
These humans were called Players. They cleared the first floor of the tower, and a timer started.
A timer that had the next raid time. A timer that told us when the next wave of monsters would come out of the tower.
At first, it was two days, and as more and more levels were cleared, it increased.
Players formed guilds and raided the towers... Each floor was filled with precious resources and mana stones.
The guilds claimed the floors that they cleared and made money out of them by renting these floors to new or fresh players.
Players from big guilds gained Fame, Money, and Power.
"My name is Max. I am a normal human, and I work as a backpack guy in the Lion's Den Guild.
My job is to carry food, water, and other supplies for the players with me inside the tower. I get around $1000 for a single run, but I only get around three runs per month.
The competition in this match is too much. I have no parents, always been an orphan, but I have a cute girlfriend... She is an F-rank Player and loves me so much.
After saving up everything, we bought ourselves a house, and now both of us are living in that same house.
She is a guide for new players and teaches them how to fight in a tower. Although she is an F-rank player... her talent is buffing other players, and that's a very rare talent in players.
Right now, she is in one of the biggest guilds of our city, The Red Fox.
The next raid is in 32 days, and if she can get into it, then we will gather up enough money to get married finally. I am so excited..." Max thought as a wide smile covered his face.
"Oi, where are you lost?" Suddenly, a girl's voice came out of nowhere and interrupted his thoughts.
"Huh..? Yes?" Max immediately came out of his thoughts and looked at the girl.
She was a worker in the Guild, and she assigned tasks to the workers.
"Your shift has been canceled..." She spoke with a neutral expression.
"What? No, no... I think you are mistaken. It's my turn today... I-" Before Max could have completed his sentence, she interrupted him.
"Yeah, I know... But, it's now changed to next Saturday, and you can leave." She spoke.
"What? Is the training session ended?" Max asked with a sad expression.
"Yes, go now..." The worker replied as she went back to her desk.
"O-Okay..." Max spoke as he started to leave the guild office.
"Hello, I am here for the 1 am training team backpack boy job." A boy spoke as he walked up to the female worker.
Sam heard this and immediately stopped... He turned around and looked at the worker with a shocked expression.
"Yes, go into that room. You will find your team..." The worker said.
"Oh, thanks..."
Sam immediately walked up to the worker and slapped his hands over the table tightly.
"That was my job, how can you do that?" Sam asked with an angry expression.
"You fucking asshole... How dare you shout at me? I enrolled your sorry ass here, and you are shouting at me?" The worker asked with a very angry expression as she stood up from her chair.
Max immediately understood that he has overreacted and now he will definitely lose his job.
"I-I am sorry, ma'am. I-I didn't mean to say that... It was all a very big misunderstanding. I hope you can let it go." Max immediately apologized in a very humble tone.
"You are fired, Max. Don't show me your sorry ass face here again." The worker spoke with a very attitude-filled face as she sat back down on her computer and assigned Max as fired on her computer.
"M-Ma'am... P-Please don't do this. P-Please ma'am... My marriage is-"
"Security... throw him out of the building and list his name on the fired board. So, that he can never get a job into this guild ever again." The worker spoke.
"Yes, ma'am." Suddenly, two security guards grabbed Max's hands and threw him outside without any delay.
Thud
"Fuck... Ouch, shit... Who even wants to work here? This place is shit." Max shouted as he started walking towards the road with an angry expression on his face.
'Well, Looks like I have to find another guild to work for again.
This was the 13th guild that kicked me out... Fuck, I am tired of this shit.
I should head home and cuddle with my Girlfriend. She will be very surprised to see me so early hehe..." Max thought as he started walking towards his home.
His home was in the outskirts of the city.
Taking a bus, Max reached back to his home. He got off the bus in front of a big three-story building and started walking towards the third floor.
But, As soon as he entered inside the house... He saw a pair of shoes in front of him. Shoes of a male.
"Hmm..? Was someone supposed to come today?" Max spoke with a confused expression as he started walking towards the inside of the house silently.
As he walked towards his girlfriend's room, He noticed sounds coming out of the room.
"Anhhh~ Hey... Slowly. Annnnhhh~"
