[Current Time]
"Tomorrow is the day I will complete the mission. The hard work I've done for the past ten years will pay off tomorrow."
Alexander said enthusiastically after seeing the mission progress on his system screen.
Ten years have passed since Alexander began the mission given to him by the system that suddenly came into his possession ten years ago.
Initially, Alexander didn't want to undertake the mission because he found it very strange, unlike the systems he knew from games or fantasy novels.
In the systems in games or fantasy novels, Alexander would usually perform daily quests given every day.
However, the mission Alexander received was 'to do good deeds' continuously for ten years without a break, which made him distrust the system he received.
However, Alexander had no choice but to follow it as an ordinary human who hadn't awakened.
After helping the old woman, Alexander disappeared and headed toward a building that looked like a bar from the outside.
In front of the building, a signboard read, 'Guild Red Sword.' Alexander walked into the building, which was a small guild called 'Guild Red Sword.'
Inside, it looked like a bar with chairs and tables for people to sit and chat. Though it looked like a bar, it was the headquarters of a guild.
In one of the seats within the Red Sword guild, a beautiful woman wearing a witch's hat sat with a few people. She was incredibly beautiful, with ivory-colored hair and striking blue eyes.
Seeing Alexander enter the building, the woman turned towards him and immediately called out loudly.
"Alex, over here!"
The woman called Alexander to come to her. Seeing this, Alexander promptly walked towards her.
"What's up, Anna?"
"Do you want to join me on a mission? This time we're going to Vorvor Village to exterminate a group of low-ranking Bivorch there."
"Hey, you've got to be kidding, Brianna Bella. I'm just an ordinary human; I'll die if I go with you warriors on a mission."
The woman was Brianna Bella, a Rank 1 Warrior Healer. Brianna Bella had been Alexander's friend since childhood. They grew up in the same environment, which made them close friends.
If it had been any other woman, she would never have cared about an ordinary, unawakened person like Alexander.
But Anna was different from other women. Besides being beautiful, she was also very kind to everyone, including Alexander, her childhood friend.
"Aren't you here looking for a job?"
"You're right, but not one that would endanger me."
"You'll just be carrying our supplies, and the pay is quite high—10,000 Dams."
Alexander was silent, hearing such a high amount of payment, which was a lot for him as an ordinary human. 'Should I take it?' Alexander thought about this tempting offer.
Every month, Alexander only made 3,000 Dams, which was barely enough for him to eat, and he often lacked money.
"When is the scheduled mission?"
"The day after tomorrow, we'll depart for Vorvor Village."
Alexander thought for a moment before finally responding.
"Alright, I'll go."
"Come here the day after tomorrow morning, as we will leave very early from Anvel City."
Alexander nodded in understanding. He couldn't help but be grateful that Anna, his childhood friend, was so kind to him, even offering him a good job.
Alexander accepted this mission for a reason. Tomorrow was the day he would complete the mission he had been doing for ten years, and they would leave the day after tomorrow.
Tomorrow was the day Alexander had been waiting for, as he had suffered for the past ten years.
He had been looked down upon as an ordinary human, bullied, and unable to fight back.
Tomorrow, Alexander will no longer be an ordinary human.
"Tomorrow is the day I will awaken and become a warrior," Alexander said enthusiastically.
Alexander then, as usual, asked for any job that an ordinary human could do.
Fortunately, Alexander was always given work by the Red Sword Guild. He usually gets jobs cleaning the Red Sword Guild's premises.
Today, the building was coincidentally dirty and messy due to a party held by its members.
Alexander was given the job of cleaning today, with a pay of 75 Dams.
Alexander went to the back to get a broom and mop from the storage and bathroom.
He then started sweeping the guild's floor and mopping it.
While mopping the floor, a kick suddenly came towards him.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a young man with white hair and black eyes kicked Alexander while he was mopping.
Alexander fell to the floor in pain, unable to dodge in time.
Alexander had no choice but to look at the person who kicked him.
"What are you doing, Barnes?"
"What am I doing? Of course, I'm teaching you a lesson! You trash!"
"What wrong did I do to you for you to kick me?"
"What wrong? Your mistake is that you're just an ordinary human who dares to talk to my Brianna Bella. I don't know why Anna even bothers with trash like you."
The person who kicked Alexander was Barnes Bey, an elite Rank 1 Warrior Assassin.
Barnes Bey had liked Anna for a long time but was never noticed by her. He even considered Anna his girlfriend and would beat up anyone who tried to get close to her.
Alexander had often experienced such bullying, making him used to the pain and humiliation he received.
"Hahaha, Alexander, let me beat you to a pulp," Barnes said.
"Bam!"
Alexander was beaten one-sidedly by Barnes Bey. It's not that Alexander didn't want to fight back, but the difference between an ordinary human and a Rank 1 Warrior was like night and day.
Seeing Alexander being kicked and beaten one-sidedly, a woman hurriedly walked towards them from a distance.
"Hey, Barnes! What are you doing?"
"Hahaha, my dear Anna, I'm just beating up the trash who dared talk to you."
"Stop it! Who are you calling 'my dear Anna'? Get out of here, or I'll report you to the leader!"
"Alright, alright, my dear Anna, I'll leave this time."
Barnes then walked away from Alexander, but before leaving, he looked at Alexander and snorted.
"Useless trash!"
Barnes then disappeared from the guild building, leaving only Anna and the battered Alexander lying on the floor.
"Alex, let me heal you."
Anna then chanted a healing spell for Alexander, and in an instant, Alexander's wounds disappeared.
This was how a Rank 1 Warrior Healer provided aid, as long as the wounds were caused by normal physical attacks and didn't contain gamma fluctuations, they could be healed immediately.
"Are you okay now, Alex?"
"I'm fine; thank you so much, Anna."
"I'll report Barnes to the leader later."
Alexander nodded in understanding. However, he knew the guild leader wouldn't do anything to his talented member, especially not for an ordinary human like himself.
"Alright then, I'll continue my work, Anna. Thank you again."
After being healed by Anna, Alexander thanked her and asked for permission to resume his work.
Alexander had no choice but to finish his job quickly; he didn't want to be seen talking to Anna for now.
Alexander could only wait until he completed his mission and awakened as a warrior. Only then would he have freedom and respect from others.
