"Father! Teach me how to be a great wizard!" "Dad! Teach me how to be a ninja!" "Papa! Teach me how to use a sword!" I can only sigh at three puppy eyes looking at me. This is not fair! I thought that the job was to fix things! How can I start to look like an orphanage?! Dammit!
I blink a little when I see I am in the middle of a white place with nothing but a desk and a chair. I look around for a few seconds before my eyes land on someone who is sitting behind the desk.
She smiles at me and says.
"Are you done? Then please take a seat."
I hesitate for a second before sitting on the chair a few seconds later. She smiles and says.
"Thank you for accepting our job offer, Jonathan."
"Job offer? What kind of job offer will transfer me to this place? What is this place, anyway?"
She keeps her smile and nods her head.
"Do you remember the job ads about the maintenance job? That is us. As for this place… it is a space between void. You can say that it is a void between voids. You did not need to think about it too much."
I frowned a little as my brain started thinking about the job ads I had signed. There are more than a dozen of them that I apply for. I need the job after I quit the last one. Being yelled at by your boss for five hours a day for something that you have not done is not something I want to do for the rest of my life.
Sadly, a job is hard to get, and I decided even to accept a maintenance job. However, it looks like it was not a regular maintenance job.
"Right. I remember it now. What kind of maintenance do I need to perform for you to take me here?"
"You are rather calm for someone who gets into a place that you have never been before."
"What can I do? If this is real, I will get a job involving something supernatural, which excites me. If this is not real, I only think of this as a dream. A weird dream, but a dream nonetheless."
The woman laughs at my answer and says,
"Good answer. Let me introduce myself. My name is Angela. Your kind cannot say my real name out loud for the reason I will not tell. From now on, please call me Angela."
"Right. Angela. Got it."
"As I said earlier, you are here because you decided to apply to our company. We offer a job as a maintenance worker, but as you can see, it is not a regular job. Our company involves multiple Omniverse. That means a countless universe and an infinite amount of planets. We need to take care of many problems, or the planet will either be blown up or get destroyed to the point of beyond recovery."
I nod in understanding and say.
"And that is where I come in, huh?"
"That's right. We can recreate the planet, but it takes time and energy that we do not want to spend. However, losing that planet will make us lose quite a bit of assets."
"Why don't you take care of it?"
"It is inefficient. We cannot just take care of all the small problems. As I said, there are countless planets in a single universe. There are countless universes in a single multiverse. There are countless multiverses in a single omniverse. As you can see, we cannot take care of the problem ourselves; hence we are hiring."
"Right. So what is my job if I accept this job?"
"For starters, you will be given a job to fix a world. Here, I can disclose the mission I will give you if you accept this job. The first mission will be an uplift mission. You need to uplift the area where you will be dropped."
"What kind of uplift? Tech?"
"Tech will be good, but we only want you to spread the habit of bathing and boiling their water before drinking."
"Right. That is not uplifting, though."
"Yes and no. When you are done, it is not uplifting, but it will spark the process."
"I see. What about the benefits?"
"When you are registering at our company, you need to spend a long time of your life outside of your earth. However, we will make sure to have someone to take care of your presence in your world and make you an outstanding civilian when you decide to retire and return to your world. We also make sure to send an equivalent of ten thousand US dollars to your family every month."
"That is a lot."
"And it is just the beginning. We will also give you the power you can use in your job, and you will get more if you decide to accept another mission. In fact, if you accept this job, we will let you choose your power. Of course, we will limit what kind of power you can get and only the one that will help you in your current mission. What do you think?"
I look at her for a few seconds before saying.
"Fuck it. I am in. I did not have any job on earth and only lived from paycheck to paycheck."
"Perfect! Tell me what kind of power you want, and I will ask the higher-ups if they agree with your choice."
"Can I ask the power of someone else? Like their power becomes mine."
"Oh? Template power, huh? We can do that. Tell me who it is?"
Without hesitation, I say.
"A-Towa-Cant!"
She blinks for a second before laughing.
"Out of all the power, you choose to be a healer, huh?"
"What? Is it bad? This is an uplifting mission, right? I did not need to use massive destruction to complete it. In fact, healing spells will be great."
"No. You are correct. You are also lucky enough to choose someone like him, as he can boost the land's fertility. Wait a second, I will ask the higher-up."
She closed her eyes for a few seconds before suddenly, my entire body shone. I can feel a rush of knowledge and experience coming into my brain. I know this is a real deal and not a wild dream I conjure in my brain.
"Done"
I snap from my thoughts and see her looking at me with a smile.
"You now have the power of a White Mage and the company will make sure the people of the area you will be dropped off accept such a thing or at least easily accept it."
"Where did I drop off? And what kind of place was it?"
"You already know what kind of place it was. You will be Jonathan Mormont, little brother of Jorah Mormont."
"Wait! I will be dropped off in Westeros?!"
Before I can even get my answer, my body feels like being dragged through thick mud, and the next thing I know, I am in the middle of a room. An unfamiliar room.
