In an inconspicuous alley of Moondrive town, Alex was preparing to open his shop "Today's the day! I'm gonna open my own store." Alex cheered himself as this is the first day that he will be opening his store.
Ten days ago, Alex was just a good for nothing trash with no talent with cultivation, magic or wielding a sword. However, one night a mechanical sound suddenly ring in his mind "Ding! Average Store drive is installing, please wait." Confuse, Alex ignored it and just continue with his aimless walking.
After a few hours of walking aimlessly, the familiar sound ring again in his mind "Average Store Drive installation complete. Thank you for using this Service Goodbye!" After saying so, endless information flowed in his mind and soul tearing pain comes right with it. Alex wasn't able to hold on and passed out from the pain.
After an hour, alex woke up and felt dizzy. He was confused on what had happen then a sound suddenly rings in his mind "Please find a store location and start accumulate wealth." Alex was dumbfounded. "How the hell am I going to find a Store location, I don't have a single penny on my name." He curses. Alex get up and started to walk again but this time, with a goal in his mind "If it's a store location, maybe I can do something about it."
Walking in an inconspicuous alley, he saw a small abandoned house with no owner as the surrounding of the house are empty lots, maybe was use for gardening but it is now abandoned. Alex think for a moment and decided to go the town hall to enquire about the ownership of this abandoned house.
At the townhall, after talking to the receptionist, he was able to confirm that no one owns that part of land as well as the house and if he wants to register that piece of land in his name, he would need to pay 1000 silver coins. It was not alot but it would take him 5 to 7 days of hard work to earn that. Thankfully, Moondrive Town is currently repairing the walls and bulding some more buildings in the town to improve it's economy hence manual labor is currently in need.
The pay for manual labor depends on what would you be doing. Currently in the job board of the townhall, the available works are Masons which are being paid for 500 silver coins a day but Alex was no Mason hence he pass on that job. The next is a Porter which are being paid for 350 Silvers a day one again, Alex is not for these type of job due to his weak physique. Lastly, the Mixer job in which you only require to mix the specialize glue dirt to strengthen the bond of the bricks that is being used for buildings and they are being paid for 200 silvers a day.
With this, Alex decided to be a mixer and submitted his application to the receptionist for processing. After waiting for a few minutes, he was called by receptionist and his job would be at the northern wall maintenance and he would be starting tomorrow. Alex thanked the receptionist and proceed to the norther wall. Since he didn't have a house yet, he plans to sleep at some dark alley near at the northern wall.
As sun sets and dusk sets in, cold wind blew on the alley that made Alex shiver but he didn't feel cold. Instead, he's shivering in excitement cause in a few days, he would be able to change his fate. He decide to conserve his energy for tomorrow's work and sleep for the night. At break of dawn, Alex woke up and ready himself for the work.
He went to the north wall station to register for work. He passes the work permit to the contractor near at the wall maintenance and he was assigned to group B mixer. He went to the group b mixer which is near at the gate of the north wall, there, he was assigned by rhe Mason leader and taught him what and how to mix the specialize glue.
As time went by, Alex was able to mix the specialize glue efficiently and the Mason leader was actually happy with his efficiency that after the days work, his salary increases from 200 silvers to 220 silvers. "Get yourself a nice meal and a place to sleep with that 20 silvers." Said by the Mason leader. Alex thank the Mason leader and go to the nearest inn.
Alex arrrive at Moonlitght Inn and was greeted by the receptionist "welcome to Moonlight inn! Would you be staying for a night or would you like to have a meal?" "I would like to have a meal and also stay for the night." He said. The receptionist nodded "That would be 15 silvers, 10 silvers for the accomodation and 5 silvers for the meal." Alex handed 15 silvers look for an empty seat and wait for his meal. After a few minutes of waiting, the waiter is making his way to his table with his food. "Good evening sir, here's your meal. A bowl of our popular meat stew, a basket of bread and a glass of ale." The waiter said. Alex nodded and started to wolf down his food.
After eating he goes at the back of the inn to wash himself before going to bed. "It's been a while since i have a proper food and proper bed to sleep on. This is a good start." He murmured and drifted to sleep.
Morning came and he prepares to go to work once again. This was his daily routine for the next 8 days and with his efficiency at work, the maintenance of the norther wall was about to finish on the next few days. "Leader, this would be my last day, as per on the contract, i would have just to work for 7 days but you let me stay for another day, thank you very much!" Alex bowed to the Mason leader "don't mention it kid, you earn it and with your efficiency, we are almost done with the maintenance of this fricking wall haha." The Mason leader laugh heartily. Alex smile and once again said his goodbyes and proceed to the usual inn he stays as tomorrow, he will be going to the Townhall to own the abandoned house.
