Synopsis

Wilson is a servant for the duke's daughter. Little to none known about him. Although something is puzzling about him, perhaps it's his reputation, or maybe it's merely his decency. However, nonetheless, people tend to pretend to be his best friend while wanting to know his secret. Sorry for my bad English since I'm not a native speaker. [Hiatus For Now]

Chapter 1Prologue

Everyone makes a mistake. They can't avoid it. I made a mistake too, and that mistake cost me my life.

Flashback

Last contract before I retired.

I was a mercenary working for a particular contractor. I had experienced countless battlefields ranging from jungle, desert, and urban warfare.

I had been in this mercenary job for about 30 years. I was forced to enter the greedy business at the age of 15. Don't even once doubt my experience.

How good am I? I could use a plane, helicopter, tanks, motorcycle, and almost all military machines. I was a master at CQC and marksmanship.

My motto was, "There is nothing impossible; it's just impossibly hard." I had done everything in this world from your everyday security guard to a supernatural encounter. I was planning to retire. I chose the easy one for my last contract.

This was my last contract. To be exact this was the 390th contract. 390 is a multiple of 13. as I know

13 is an unlucky number. This contract could be jinx, but I don't care. If I die now its not a big problem since everyone that has ties with me either has died or considered me as dead.

The mission was to kill a wanted terrorist. The alias was Kashmir. He was wanted terrorist hiding in Iraq. My job was to send a message to the whole terrorist organization by separating his body part. What could possibly go wrong with this?

After the insertion via an MH-60 helicopter in the middle of a desert and after walking for several kilometers. I finally arrived at the compound. A big complex of building in the middle of the dessert.

I stood near the wall and hit the com kit.

Me: "This is Charlie 9 has arrived at the compound."

CP: "Please continue to objective Bravo"

Me: "Roger that, CP"

I moved towards the compound, avoiding anyone that obstruct me from the objective. The compound itself was a 50m × 50m fortress surrounded by a concrete wall. Funny enough, I entered the compound through a hole in the wall. Duh, what a stupid terrorist.

Me: "This is Charlie 9, entering the compound now."

CP: "Target spotted in objective Hotel, please proceed."

Me: "Roger that, CP"

I walked stealthily in the compound. Avoiding lights and guard. Finally, I arrived at the objective Hotel. I saw Kashmir was smoking his cigarette on the rooftop. It was an ordinary rural desert building.

It's going to be his last smoke. As I entered the building. Well, it's too empty for the headquarters of a terrorist. This is going to be a piece of cake. I didn't encounter a single guard. This was too good to be true. I saw Kashmir still smoking then I unsheathed my combat knife.

"Time to meet your maker Kashmir," as I grabbed his neck and pointed the combat knife towards his body.

"Too bad, you have been jinx" as he pulled a string from his body.

"What???" I said with a surprised tone.

BOOM

I was thrown to the edge of the building. Luckily, thanks for that I didn't get any serious injury in my head. Well, that sense of luckiness went away pretty soon as I nod at my left direction. I saw Kashmir's body disintegrated, and one of his ribs got stuck on my torso.

Panicky, I tried to move my hand, but it doesn't move. I tried to move my legs, but it's simply not there. I nodded to the left and right and saw my arm and leg got scattered all across the place. I looked at the dark ground filled with warm fresh blood and feel a burning sensation across my entire body.

Theoretically, I could survive this if there was someone to stop the blood for coming out, but there wasn't anyone there that could help me. The blood loss really started to made my consciousness went away. My eyes felt very heavy. Slowly, but surely I began to lose consciousness. Well, I guess this the end. I was dying without a trace of existence.

This is not how I wanted to be killed. I wanted to leave my legacy at least. Well, I thought this is the end. I closed my eyes slowly. The vision became brighter and brighter.

Goodbye world.

This novel started off as an interesting premise but im currently at the start of chapter 12, and all I can say is wtf is happening, The characters are not explained at all, we don't have anything like either their POV of events or even thoughts, The MC's master Maria, has no ambitions, no personality apart from trying to get into the MC's pants at a tender 5 years old, and has none of the Pride or Ego that you would expect her to have being in the position of being the daughter of a fairly renowned Duke(I don't even know that, I'm just guessing, author hasn't even explained anything about the Duke), also she has not gained any pride from her appraisal that was held at the church where it was proclaimed that she was a Prodigy and a Hero Candidate along with very high "Stats", it is like that event never happened because there have been no consequences that have come of it, it only happened to give the MC a chance to start using his abilities. And onto the MC, I know very little about him, He was a 45 year old mercenary veteran in his old life, apparently he was also a virgin too, even though that is practically impossible and also not relevant at all,and thats all i know, he has no ambition in this new life, no difficulties that he has to work towards, acts like an average guntaku and thinks like one too, he just so far has been given everything on a silver platter so far, he is supposed to be a servent, but he is so much stronger than everyone its hilarious, like if he thought about it and had enough mana, he could just create a replica of earth with everyone proclaiming absolute alligence to him because he created them, And that is the low ball of it, he could imagine a death star if he wanted to, but he is staying to real life things that he saw in his previous life for no reason at all. Anyway Rant over, sorry for that deluge of text. SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER He has just rescued two beastkin children from slavery at the hands of nobles, They are of course wolf beastkin because its a requirment for isekai/reincarnation, and so far they are as interesting as paint, the male beastkin had a little argument with the MC where he refuse to attack a panther because he was told to, which to me is pretty god damm reasonable, The MC then used "Killing intent" and grabbed the males sword and told him that he would regret it, and the male then immediately gave up and did what he was told, not even with a grumble, its also shown later that the male doesn't even get mad over it, he forgets about it almost immediately. This was a rather big example but it goes to show that the MC just gets a free pass in everything and now semi knowing the authors thought processes, its going to be like this for the rest of the novel and I just cant stand that, as its a sign of being a really bad writer that can't think up of challenges for his MC/Cast. The sentences are very start and stop and offer very little information, the other characters don't really exist as the narrative goes, you could replace them with cardboard cut-outs and nothing of value would be lost and you would not notice a thing. So I'm going to keep reading and see if it gets better, (I REALLY doubt it) more like I'm just trying to find more ammo to throw at the author. Sorry it kinda turned into a rant, I just got really annoyed reading it, cause I have been reading for many years, along with actually good quality grammar and structure. To the Author if he does not delete this review ( which I will repost, im saving it onto my hard drive) please take a break from writing, and check out some of the more well known novels on this site to get a feel of how a narrative between two or more characters should go, along with spending more time going over your logic in the chapters as I have posted in the paragraph comments, some fixes that you should do. But so far you just need to add more detail and stop with the time skips while giving us no info of what happened during that time. Thanks in advance, A concerned Reader
