 Chapter 1
 There was a small rumor that a village was destroyed .
 "That's not an unusual thing to happen", thought Loren, as he was drinking at a bar run by the Adventurer's Guild .
 It was unfortunate for the people in the village, but for a pioneered village that was developed to create more farmland, it kind of made sense .
 It was a village that was built on land that people dared not to venture into .
 To whatever that the land was home to, humans were the invaders .
 If the conflict is between human beings, it would be an argument concerning right of residence . But since it is usually in lands untouched by humans, conflict with the previous residents most likely cannot be resolved by talking . If the previous residents are not happy with the new ones, destruction is the only possible destination they will end up at .
 Loren then turned his slightly drunk eyes down towards the front desk of the Guild .
 Loren was not originally an adventurer .
 He belonged in a mercenary group, and he was a mercenary that would fight in wars for his clients .
 He was there for as long as he could remember, and was there ever since, until recently the group was destroyed during a war . As a result, Loren was sitting in the back of the bar, with only a glass of alcohol to company him .
 As someone who used to be a mercenary, Loren had experienced numerous victories as well as losses .
 For a long time, the group was able to make it through the losses . But in the most recent battle that they participated in, their luck finally ran out . What looked like a won battle suddenly turned south, and Loren saw his group be split apart and many of his comrades being killed, but he managed to survive and escape .
 Because of all that happened to him, it was not surprising that his wallet was almost empty .
 The words 'mercenary' and 'saving' didn't go along with each other, and that was true for Loren . He did not have any money saved up, or even tried to . He even had to ditch most of his belongings at the battle site .
 The only thing Loren had was the leather armor he wore, his great sword, and a few silver coins in his pocket .
 That was all of Loren's possessions .
 It was better than nothing, but it was clear that if he could not find a job, he would be wandering in the streets soon enough . While fingering the metal tag around his neck, he tried to think of a way to make some money .
 The metal thing around his neck was his identification tag, which served as proof that you were an adventurer .
 The material used to make the tag reflected your adventurer rank, and Loren's tag was made of cheap copper .
 As your rank goes up, your tag is made from a better, rarer metal, but to Loren that was of little concern .
 What filled his head were ways to obtain a certain amount of money through quests that adventurers of his rank could take .
 His comrades were either killed, or separated .
 From the eyes of others, mercenaries were people who made a living from killing people, and were not viewed fondly .
 It was natural to only know people from your own mercenary group, and have no friends or acquaintances outside of the group .
 Loren was no exception, and being someone who escaped from the battlefield, there was no one he could trust .
 That was also the reason that he chose to become an adventurer .
 It was not hard to become an adventurer, with no background checks aside from criminal records .
 He was easily able to become an adventurer by paying the registration fee .
 But it was troublesome that he had no comrades to go on quests with him .
 In whatever you do, doing it alone was not a good sign .
 Whether the job may be slaying monsters, gathering herbs or stones, or looking for lost objects or persons, doing it alone was too dangerous .
 "I guess I'll clean the ditches . "
 It was not a job he was looking forward to doing .
 To Loren's surprise, there were many quests that seemed far from something that adventurers would do, such as cleaning ditches or going down into the sewers .
 But it was less dangerous than other quests, and the rewards were unexpectedly high .
 In order to survive and get food on the table, getting covered in mud and sewer waste was not a bad choice .
 It wasn't that he wanted to be covered in mud and grime, but as a war veteran, if someone asked him to choose between battle trenches and sewers, he would choose the sewers . He was willing to turn a blind eye on smell and unfavorable working conditions if it meant earning money .
 Plus, ditches and sewers were within human living areas which made the job safer than most, even when alone .
 "Hey you . You're looking for a quest, aren't you?"
 Loren looked up and saw a young man with blond hair wearing a new set of leather armor and a sword by his side .
 "If this were back when I was a mercenary, I would definitely refuse," thought Loren as he observed the young man sitting in front of him .
 If you accepted every job offer that came to you, you wouldn't be able to live long as a mercenary .
 Gathering information and performing background checks on the client, as well as the area of operation was the norm for Loren .
 But this was an exception .
 To put it simply, it was because he had no money .
 In society, people won't take you seriously without any money to back you up .
 Loren asked, thinking that the guy was looking for a frontline because he already had a quest in mind .
 "I told you, it's an easy quest . We just need to hunt some goblins that appeared in the forest,"
 the young man laughed, while Loren could do nothing but nod awkwardly .

 Yunge, after transmigrating, learned a tragic lesson: when you read a novel, you really shouldn’t skip around! Even if the name of the chapter was “The Death of Yunge”, you shouldn’t just click directly on it! And you definitely shouldn’t give it a negative rating out of anger just because the canon fodder character that happened to bear your name was thrown into a brothel as the lowest of prostitutes. If you didn’t give it a thumbs down, you wouldn’t have transmigrated! And if you didn’t transmigrate, you wouldn’t be stuck now without any foreknowledge of the events to come, in this undoubtedly tragic role of “Yunge.”
 Yunge clenched her fists. It’s okay, she knew at least that the female protagonist’s name was “Lin Yuan.” In the first part of the story, she was Yunge’s shimei (cultivation/sect sister). As soon as that girl appears, Yunge should just stick to her and start currying favor. Hug her thighs! She’d definitely be able to change her own fate!
 In the days and nights that passed as she waited for the protagonist to appear, the only comfort left for Yunge was her clever, thoughtful, young disciple.
 Until one day…
 Disciple: Shizun, why are you always so devoted to Lin Yuan shiyi? Is having this disciple not enough?
 Yunge: Sweet disciple, please don’t mess around! She’s the heroine! Such is mandated by the heavens! Whoever steps out of line will die most wretchedly!
 The “Sweet” Appearing Disciple: Since she’s the most important in Shizun’s eyes…but if she were to die, it would be me, right?
 Yunge: My disciple, don’t mess around!!!! This shizun still needs to go get in her good graces!

 As their farewell was imminent, the system was worried about its new host so it repeatedly reminded Xu Turan: [Your role is to be a supporting character who is always seeking death. You do know what that means, right?]
 Xu Turan recalled her rich experience of doing just that in her previous life and she replied affirmatively with absolute confidence.
 So the system withdrew with its mind at ease.
 After a few days, the system that had been away for repair finally returned. When it looked at the situation, it almost malfunctioned: [What are you doing?!!]
 Xu Turan, who was busy arguing with the Evil God, answered without thinking, “I’m doing what you asked me to do – trying to find ways to die.]
 System: […?!]
