Chances to Another Life 70. This Is Me Now
"Your first mission is complete. How do you feel? Do you feel more human now?"The voice echoed and sounded distant to me, but I couldn't see anything or anyone speaking."You finished it quite quickly. Well, I intentionally chose a conflict that wasn't too heavy. Now, you'll journey to the second world. Congratulations, Joe!" The voice exclaimed, accompanied by applause around me."Solace?" Surprisingly, my voice sounded hoarse and squeaky, as if something was hindering me from speaking freely. Yet, I still felt floating in this darkness."I can't show my face, Joe. I've just returned from a treatment after visiting someone in a very polluted and grimy place," he explained.I couldn't feel my hands or any other body parts, but I wasn't panicked. "Is it another failed person?" I asked."Exactly, he's very miserable and has experienced a lot of trauma. But, as a good being, I gave him a chance just like I gave you!" Solace exclaimed joyfully, and I could imagine his old face beaming."
Chances to Another Life 71. I'm Being A Courier
Apparently, the stern woman from earlier was named Mrs. Smith, the owner of the largest grocery store at the intersection. Everything was there, from food to household items, gardening tools, and even swords and bows! I couldn't understand if she actually sold them or if they were just for display.On the other shelves, I saw rows of bottles containing medicines similar to potions in Swinggelir. Without warning, I already missed my military profession in that world!Now I'm carrying fertilizers to the cart pulled by a tall black stallion. I don't understand why Solace chose this world and this profession for me! I've already had a tough life, and now he's giving me another tough life!"Hurry up, don't be slow. Time is money!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, fanning herself with a paper fan.I lifted the last sack and it was done. Actually, this was much easier compared to hunting, but if I could choose, I'd rather keep hunting because it's much more enjoyable and I wouldn't be yelled at and sta
Chances to Another Life 72. The People and The Market
72Due to Mrs. Smith's tyrannical nature, my increasingly rumbling stomach was becoming unbearable. Eventually, I bought a loaf of bread to eat at her grocery store. Fortunately for her, I didn't even willingly trade the bronze coin, which turned out to be only enough to buy a slice of bread and a strawberry-flavored candy.Of course, that wasn't enough to satisfy my hunger. I considered exchanging the gold coin, but I had to wait for the right time so Mrs. Smith wouldn't find out. I also had to quickly pay off my debts to free myself from her clutches."Hey, deliver this to Mr. Gunter's stall!" I had only sat down for a moment when Mrs. Smith yelled, placing a bag of groceries that I had to deliver.It only contained raw food ingredients like vegetables, which were very appetizing in my hungry state. However, I quickly hurried to deliver them, not because I obeyed Mrs. Smith's command, but so I wouldn't have to stay in her store for too long.I returned to the streets, this time with
Chances to Another Life 73. I'm Planning To Become A Teacher
After the fuss was over, people went back to their usual activities. No one cared, nor did anyone want to defend a little girl being made fun of by a grown man. Just thinking about it makes me angry. However, the most important thing now was Celine who was sitting beside me with her head down. We were now sitting on the side of the road. She hadn't said anything since earlier and was noticeably avoiding me. I'm not good with children, in fact, I don't think I've ever been interested in or cared about children in my entire life. I took a deep breath and reached into my pants pocket. "This is for you, they say sweets can improve your mood," I said as I handed her a strawberry-flavored candy I had bought earlier. Celine lifted her face slowly, her neck-length black hair covering the front part of her face that was still bruised. She looked at me several times as if to confirm that I was really talking to her. "Here, eat it. I already ate earlier," I said reassuringly. Finally, the th
Chances to Another Life 74. So, My Actual Mission is...
As expected, I was only able to finish taking care of the horses when the day turned into night. Even then, it seemed like Mrs. Smith had deliberately added to my work, because some of the men had asked me to bathe the horses in the river. Seriously! I then stretched my aching body, even being chased by the enemy at Swinggelir never felt this tired. My clothes were almost completely wet because bathing ten horses was a very bad idea. Fortunately, the river was clear and surrounded by beautiful gardens and fields, which eased my irritation a little. "Come on in, Big Boy!" I said as I opened the door to the last stable. I ruffled my feathers at the sight of the shiny, clean animals, I had cleaned the stalls even with a bit of vomiting, and fed them too. My work for the day was done! The horses whinnied and whinnied as if sad when I left the stable. I had a hunch that since I had managed to tame the Pegasus in the previous world, which was a supernatural animal, I would get a taste s
Chances to Another Life 75. My Daily Life
All night I couldn't sleep well even though my body was very tired. Since my hut was only made of plywood and bricks, all the noises from the neighboring houses could be heard. I'm sure Celine's mother was drunk because she was babbling incoherently, accompanied by Celine trying to persuade her mother to calm down. This also seemed to be a common occurrence, as none of the neighbors protested or intervened. I was really close to going to their house and stopping the mother's treatment of Celine, but I had to know the situation first. To be honest, I was still hesitant about my current mission. I didn't have the trauma of an abusive mother, but I knew what it was like to live in poverty and have to raise a child alone. I was lucky that my mother didn't turn out to be temperamental, but I realized that my mother's life was also very, very hard, and I sometimes felt that I was the source of all the problems in her life. Therefore, I covered my ears tightly so that the voices wouldn't
Chances to Another Life 76. Exchange My Gold Coins
From behind his square glasses and bunny-toothed smile, he should have appeared far from intimidating, but I couldn't help feeling uneasy around him. Perhaps it was because I found myself in an area filled with getrios and very few humans, or perhaps it was something else; I was once again unsure."What are you selling?" the man asked again. His sparsely growing black hair and oversized suit didn't seem fitting for running a dusty shop like this.I had no other choice, and I didn't want to venture deeper into this area. So, I pulled out five gold coins and placed them on the counter."How much can I get for these?" I asked.The man examined each coin seriously, without using any equipment to assist him, which made me worry he might be a scam seller. However, he then glanced at me with scrutiny."These are extremely rare, my dear. I've only seen coins like these twice before. The first time was when I was young and traveled to distant lands; someone also sold these to my master, and th
Chances to Another Life 77. Me, Celine, and Grilled Fish Skewer
Celine sat by the small drain, hugging her knees with a sad face, her hair disheveled and tangled as if it had never been combed. There were scrapes and bruises on her hands and legs from the fall earlier.Approaching her, I carried two delicious grilled fish skewers. Celine noticed my arrival and furrowed her brows in confusion."Sometimes things like that happen when you're working, don't dwell on it too much," I comforted her. I handed her one of the fish skewers, but once again, Celine just looked at me without intending to take it."You must be hungry after work, eat first. If your stomach is full, you'll have the energy to work again," I continued. Finally, Celine accepted the fish and began to eat it very slowly.I also enjoyed my meal, and it was no wonder Mr. Nick's stall was always crowded! The grilled fish was indeed delicious!Several stall employees passed by, heading to the back where there was an ice warehouse. They looked at me with hostility, for whatever reason, perh
