//////// (Third Person Pov)\\

Jak, 20-year-old with a skinny body and with a plain below average face. A lazy otaku type of person in general, the most ordinary person you can find in the crowd.

His life is mostly normal, he is the youngest in the family with three elder sisters and two older brothers. So everyone spoiled him, his life in school days was also normal but he always came 3rd in yearly exams, it doesn’t matter how hard he tries to study, It goes like that until high school.

…..

For engineering college preparation, he for the first time goes alone to live outside without anyone’s supervising. For the first 6 to 7 months, it was all fine but after his health problems started and because of that he got left behind in studies so to catch up with others, he had to do extra hard work for that so the mental pressure starts and to cope with that he started to watch movies then animes, from there, it became his habit Ior watching animes and slowly but surely he became an otaku or a neet (anxiety of meeting other people or in a sense society), So to escape reality he watched animes and read light novels.

After having his health deteriorate, he comes home. After having little rest with his family and getting fresh air from the village, his health becomes normal but not cured completely.

After living a monotone or boring life a few years, he started to long for adventure or the thrills which comes with it.

I like martial arts but because my body condition isn’t good enough, I didn’t force it but I did try the Shaolin kung-fu, After a few months, you could say I can at least protect myself now or able to run away from the unfavourable situation.

I was bored at home doing the same thing over and over again, after reading the light novels, the travelling option is the only thing I can think of which might give me some unexpected encounters.

So I started my journey to adventure around the world, seeing new sceneries or landscapes, meeting new people, eating different cuisine, feeling different cultures. It was a mind-boggling or eye-opener experience for me to say the least.

I don’t know about others but I feel something in my heart when I see the innocent, genuine smile on someone’s face so I also lend my hand here and there to see more of these kinds of smiles.

I wanted to leave the world before becoming old or more burden for my family, I was never able to provide my parents with the happiness, they deserved instead it was mostly disappointment. That’s why I thought, why not fulfil one of my dream about building an orphanage where I can find abandoned children to sire them, have them become fine young adults then let them lead their life however they want.

I should also get life insurance for myself which might be helpful to my family after my death at least. But before that, the financial problem drove me to become a mercenary on the border.

Well, I don’t have that much problem with becoming a mercenary but who wants a skinny, weak ass guy, in the end with no option left, I have only a suicidal path even if the risk is sky high but the return is also great.?

And it’s not like I am in the front lines, my work is information sender or sometimes envelop. So I made money enough for the orphanage to sustain itself for a few years to come as I won’t have time to manage it all the time so I have to find a nanny for them to take care of.

I decided to make a detailed plan on how to proceed with their daily lifestyle from education to health issues. I thought it would be better if I include a basic foundation in martial arts, so after they graduate from high school and become independent so at least they should know how to protect themselves.

I decide to contact my female colleagues who I have contacted during the missions, I thought maybe one of them would want to retire so they won’t mind helping me by taking care of children.

Well after asking around a few of them, I finally found someone who wants to help out children. After handling everything there, I decide it’s time to leave this world and if I am leaving I am going with a bang.

I decided to undertake a very dangerous mission which was about stealing a piece of important information from the enemy base then delivering it to my employer.

I knew this might be my last mission so I asked them for my payment in advance and it’s enough for 50 people to sustain it for 10 to 15 years. So I sent 2/3 to the orphanage and 1/3 to my family with respective letters, for an orphanage I wrote a letter saying “This might be the last time I am writing the latter so take care all of you. Younger one’s become strong enough to live a carefree life and as a last request from me is that help out my family in their last days so when they leave this world, they would have fewer regrets.”

After taking care of everything I started the mission. Well mostly, I would have to act as a beggar or a wartime victim with my feeble figure with a skinny body, it goes smoothly from entering the enemy base then look for a particular thing in the base after that steal that thing from there, from there everything gone to shit because of fucking pig teammate who sold my information to the enemy if I knew beforehand I would have chosen my backup plan but my misfortune I didn’t know anything at that time.

The hard part was to infiltrate the enemy base and come out in one piece, it’s not like I’m the one directly stealing it, my only mission is taking this information to our border in one piece, so I console myself but what I didn’t know was that someone already had sold my information to the enemy.

I calm myself down and infiltrate myself in patrolling grunts at night, I need to make a chance to meet the informant in an appointed place.

The enemy base is around 20 km from the border, one side has a small forest area and around 1 km from the base, there is a river, whose flowing stream directly meets our border. People were waiting to take me from the checkpoint of the enemy border to our border so I need to make it there. I planned in my mind about which route to take and how to distract the enemy to make it diversion for me to pass.
