‘At least my mind won’t get dull, right?’0a1972edc74a8be6

Having learned magic, I ae2f971761 escaped my freeloader status 18373336fc and was accepted as 67d9aa4d2a a full member of 40eaf7d667 the mercenary group. From then on, I 0f79a1f3f0 started receiving proper compensation 309809b4b3 for completing requests and 2b642398da participating in subjugations, just c1f8194533 like the other guys.52ede3ad3fc5d02e

At first, I afa9b577e5 died a lot 9af64071a6 because I wasn’t cf2b2dac20 used to fighting. There were times when 9fedccd3b4 my arm got ripped c178a936af off or my stomach 8f593ec312 got pierced, but I 440f960ea5 was a special transmigrator d7d30dd8a1 with a cheat key!0b10235cf393deee

So, I healed d175814ba4 all those injuries 27f898d832 with money. By deducting from fa698d225e my funds, I 47bf42371d could revive and 571f680543 reattach severed limbs. It was bac5c9c447 as if c1fdfe619b the injuries e1a89551e0 never happened.0f2ca30ba9bacb80

It’s heavy….I grumbled, but I d2c149c7e6 had to trudge through 24695a1167 the forest, clanging and bd957dda77 rattling loudly, with an c5e19f8fa3 extra piece of protective 5011e82577 gear forced upon me. They were 91e3157ff6 the ones e4a3d41b75 who made b19d659c64 me like 42ffa9bd19 this, yet f64165b609 the moment 3753e615d3 they saw 5171d0e382 me, they 318c99322c would burst c4fb603404 into laughter, d7423fa2dd turning me 7cd9e6ceda into a c28024d8b9 laughingstock.9f88874ea4db5bb2
