I Became a Foreigner Loved by Transcendentalists

7 – Episode 7. f*ck life.

But no one will listen to you if you tell them that you survived that way.

In the end, I became rumored among adventurers as an ominous totem who would die if taken with me, and as a result, porter requests were virtually completely blocked.

Of course, such rumors are usually popular for a short period of time like a fad and then forgotten as time goes by, but the privilege I had had the effect of dragging out even such brief happenings…….

‘Woo Hyo-seong? ‘Where have I heard this name before?’

‘It’s that person. A human registered as blacklisted by the Adventurer’s Guild.’

‘I sent all the people I went with to the abyss.’

‘According to the rumor, it was commissioned by some assassin guild?’

‘I go there all the time and say good-bye.’

‘Hey, monster. Get out of our empire right now!’

“No, I won’t do anything like that.”

I understand that there are rumors that the name is remembered for a long time, but the reality is that I am just a sh*tty worker who works hard and only cares about romance in this world.

For me, it felt unfair to be criticized for surviving so desperately.

“… Ugh, this guy’s abilities aren’t helpful at all.”

Still, other people, as long as they are not like that idiot Oh Deok-hoon, receive abilities that can be of small help, but in reality, I have never received proper help since I acquired this ability.

People tend to remember bad things more.

If I were to work as a public servant who handles complaints at a local office or as a service employee at an after-sales service center, it is certain that all kinds of business owners will remember my name and block my way by dumping complaints.

If I make a mistake, I have no choice but to write a public exam, put snacks in the iron rice bowl, and forget about them when I’m bored.

f*ck life.

“I think the fundamental cause in the first place is this world that gives the warriors so much nonsense.”

Of course, it is also a problem for those in power to placate the warriors in the well by spreading sugar on them, but considering that the default is for adults who are fully grown up, we cannot just blame the world.

In the first place, even if he has a lot of money and power, life is such that if a crazy person with no backs swings his sword once, he will go straight to the goal.

Similarly, even if you find mithril, a legendary ore in this world, and make a weapon, you may be targeted by those who covet the weapon, and you may end up losing your life due to the back of your head being split open and losing your valuable item.

Then how should we live in such a harsh world?

Even if you have power, you should hide it as much as possible, live humbly, and look for opportunities.

Even if you are given mithril, you will first make crutches with it and cosplay as a disabled person. When people come looking for you, they will hit you on the head and erase the witnesses, then whine and try to get even one more bean bag.

Most high-ranking people survive like that, so what’s there that I can’t do?

So, please give me enough strength to make a crutch out of mithril, Sangtae Chang.

“Eight status window!”

The status window appears in response to the angry shout.

I was hoping there would be something written there that would help overcome this miserable situation, but there is nothing, Hyosung.

There is no explosive growth in aptitude value or ability reversal device that you want.

“Why does this guy’s lottery draw always fail?”

“It’s okay if it’s not just me~!”

And just as I was passing by, I heard a shout coming from the lottery at the market place.

When you see them holding each other by the collar and fighting, it seems like a scene of dying by luck and living by luck, but this person was a person who had built a wall around gambling.

No matter what, people should work sincerely. If you turn your attention to things like gacha, you end up losing money and even your life.

“Still, I hope I get a little luck sometimes.”

I took a moment to walk down the street thinking that it would be nice if at least one piece of mithril to make crutches fell on the street somewhere.

Suddenly, I noticed several sheets of paper hanging on a bulletin board installed in the square.

In official letters from the empire, notices of the current territory and job openings… ….

“Was it possible to receive a request here too?”

If you look at it that way, the adventurer’s guild mainly consists of piecemeal work such as day labor, short-term work, subjugation, or exploration, so it is not suitable for long-term work.

So, in the case of such official documents, such bulletin boards are often used.

Of course, it’s only stable and the pay isn’t high, so I didn’t pay much attention to it until now, but given the situation, I couldn’t help but look in this direction.

“Where is the right thing to do…” …. Hmm?”

While I was looking through the documents hanging around, one document caught my eye.

The request, written in bad handwriting on fairly old paper, also had the official mark of the Magic Tower engraved on it.

Did the wizard from the Magic Tower fill out the document because he had something to do while staying in this city?

But regarding the content, ‘there is a lot to do. It only said ‘Please come to the designated location’, but there was no other information of any kind.

The only thing that catches my eye is the compensation……. Keck! What’s this.

The reward is ten times more than when the warriors were slaves, right?

“What is this…?” …. “What kind of work did you ask me to do that made Fei so strong?”

“You’re accepting that request? “Are you out of your mind!?”

At that moment, an old man who was passing nearby approached me and began to express his astonishment at me.

It was a reaction that seemed very unexpected to me.

Even if it’s okay to scream without saying hello when you first meet someone, why do they suddenly turn someone into a mental ward escapee?

“Hmm, I’m sorry. I feel so sorry for the little girl who voluntarily chooses the path to hell that I can’t help but stop…….”

“Oh, if it’s something like that.”

I have to admit that they are going to hell and tearing me down.

If you want to survive for a long time, you must take these tips to heart.

I looked down again at the document in my hand and quietly asked the old man.

“But why is this request in your hand so dangerous?”

“Isn’t it the mark of the Magic Tower? “Don’t you know how arrogant and dangerous the wizards in your magic tower are?”

Oh well, I’ve heard a lot of rumors.

In fact, a wizard who had recently died with his limbs torn apart learned magic with the support of the Magic Tower after being summoned, and it was clear that his arrogant personality was also greatly influenced by the Magic Tower.

“The wizards who enter the Magic Tower are all capable, but because they focus so much on research, they lack a sense of ethics. “Everyone who does not enter the Magic Tower is treated as foolish and foolish, and they regard such people as expendable items that can be replaced at any time for their research.”

“No, no matter what, would you kill someone so easily? “Even though this world is chaotic, the empire is a law-abiding society.”

“It is the empire that actively supports that magic tower. “If you don’t have proper support, you won’t blink an eye even if one or two people die.”

Hey, after all, here too, the rich and powerful people are the ones making the most of it.

How can a small citizen like me, who doesn’t even have a chance to make money, live in such sorrow?

“I’m warning you about my anger, but if you receive a request from the Magic Tower just because the reward is high, it’s better to think carefully. “Unless you want to make money even if you die soon!”

“Oh, yes. Thank you for the advice.”

After saying goodbye for the last time, I received some rare advice in this harsh world.

I, who was left alone in the square, took time to reflect on the contents of the request form in my hand.

“Um, okay. Wouldn’t it be better not to accept such a dangerous request?”

Just from the rumors, Magic Tower is a place full of psychopathic scientists.

If you just believe in the law and follow them, you may be subject to biological experiments in an inconspicuous place, or you may end up as a meat shield for monsters while collecting materials.

That won’t work. Although my body is frail, my life is precious.

“No matter what, life is more important than money.”

Damn magic tower bastards. Do you think I will follow suit if you give me a higher pay?

Don’t think you can buy me with money!

****

But it was too much money to hand it over like that, and I, unable to find anything decent to profit from, ended up going to the residence of a magician belonging to the Magic Tower.

I’m not bad.

The problem with the world is that it treats me like this…!

“Ugh, life really sucks.”

However, even considering the risk, it was clear that it was an offer that was difficult to refuse.

Just considering the amount stated in the request, you would have to play the role of a dangerous porter following the warriors dozens of times to get it.

Even with that alone, you actually have enough funds to go on the ‘my own adventure’ that you originally planned.

If you think about it that way, wouldn’t it be better to just hit it once and be done with it rather than taking risks dozens of times?

“… After all, if you pursue romance, you have to be able to take some risks.”

If the suit is wrong, take off your panties and let them pop.

After making that decision, I immediately knocked on the door of the building I arrived at and took the time to look around.

“Excuse me, is there anyone here?”

The place where the wizard is believed to stay is a mansion slightly larger than average.

As the house was large, there were many windows, but all of them had curtains, so the inside was not visible.

A moment when it feels a little cheap.

However, if it is a window, you can break it with your body and escape, so you can see it as an opportunity.

-Click.

As we wait with such tension, the door finally opens and the interior is revealed.

“Heh, hehehe… ….”

The faint sound of laughter heard later was probably coming from the person presumed to be the client.

“Who, who is it? “Are you the person who saw the request?”

A shabby-looking woman with a trembling voice and a weak laugh.

The hair is matted because it is not maintained properly, and the clothes are also wrinkled and disheveled, exposing the collarbone and cleavage.

It’s not something that should be seen in front of a man.

“Oh, yes. Yes, but… ….”

“Well, you’ve finally arrived. Lol.”

Nevertheless, she seemed not to be aware of her own appearance, blinking her unfocused blue eyes and quietly gesturing into her mansion.

“Hey, come in first. Well, I’ll explain the request right away…….”

“Ah, yes. All right.”

It’s surprising that she’s a woman, but she also has a cold vibe….

No, it doesn’t look like there’s anything dangerous right now, so let’s just follow along. As I entered the room, I noticed blue lights flowing throughout the dark room.

It’s not lighting……. Is it a magic circle? Or a reaction due to the magic stone?

“Ah, ah. You don’t have to worry about the things next to you. Well, it just happened while I was experimenting with this and that…….”

“No, that doesn’t matter.”

A quick glance, and the gaze turns to the surroundings.

As I was looking at the view of the room illuminated by blue light, I felt my breath being taken away.

I didn’t discover anything dangerous. It’s just because of something similar to mediocrity caused by my usual habits.

“I’m a bit concerned about the dirty room.”

I know that the people at Magic Tower have no interest in anything other than research, but isn’t it too much of a mess?

“…… Phew!”

Just as she was paying attention to that, a sound of laughter burst out of her mouth.

Just as I was starting to feel cold, she started looking at me with a happy laugh.

“Bah, are you worried about the room being dirty? “Really…?”

Why are you smiling all of a sudden?

Are you really angry because I pointed this out?

Break the window and jump out right now?

“Okay, then cleaning…” …. “Dirty things, wife, you need to clean them, right?”

A voice heard when such an impulse strikes.

Not understanding what she meant at that moment, I ended up looking at her with a blank expression on her face.

“Yes? Cleaning…”

“Go, because I’m a housekeeper.”

What do you mean, housekeeper?

Sensing her doubts, I glanced at her, and soon she was hugging me, smiling brightly and gesturing towards her surroundings.

“If you hire a housekeeper…. Hey, now I don’t have to clean up my room. Huh? Right?”

“Uh, okay. A maid is usually the person who does that, but…….”

“Now, I can clean my room, do my laundry, and now I can eat my food without it burning with my hands. …. hehehehe, I am free from all the troublesome work. W, I can now focus on my research… !”

Phew, she lowered her head, covering her mouth with her hand, as if suppressing the sound of her flowing laughter.

As I was staring blankly at her abnormal tremors that could hardly be considered normal, she suddenly raised her head and faced me and asked.

“You will do it, right? “Cleaning…”

“Oh, yes. “If you give me money, I will do it.”

Anyway, I’ve had a hard time so far, but I need some luck like this to make life more enjoyable.

Life is a mess.
