Job Hunting

Aethisia PoV

When I made it through the line, I let out a nervous breath as I recalled all the times I had done something similar to this way back in my previous life, the search for a job followed by the necessary social networking to secure a chance at getting any job at all creating a song and dance I really didn't love all that much.

This just further reminded me how much had changed in my life, but at the same time there were things that were guaranteed to stay the same; in my old life I needed to secure funds for myself with the hopes of finding myself that one person to marry and start a family with, and now I needed funds because I had gotten multiple women pregnant and I wanted to keep them that way for years to come...

Even just thinking about Camara's swollen belly again got me as hard as a rock, and the fact that right beside her would be that thick MILF who was swollen with my child as well only ensured that my cock was at full mast and then some, though thankfully I had taken Dama's advice and used a band to 'strap' my penis to my leg.

Otherwise I was would be poking out of my pants right now begging for a woman to come and get me off...

Some still noticed that I was stiff, and the reactions I got made me remember that while this world was more open about sex - way more open about it compared to my old world - my new household was on a completely different level, and walking around erect and brimming with lust wasn't too normal.

Though again, some were smirking at me and clearly interested in seeing if I wanted some time in an alleyway real quick, and while I will admit some of the women who walked up to me were gorgeous and appetizing, I had something I needed to do.

Aunty had told me about a few different boards I could check out to find myself a job, and so I politely declined them and clenched my thighs, ridding myself of my hard on and allowing me to walk freely without drawing too many gazes.

Now I didn't want to be full of myself, but as I walked the streets of Birchan I still drew many gazes from women, and some were bold enough to approach me and ask me if I wanted to spend some time with them - some asked me if I wanted to fuck them here and now, and others offered tea or a nice meal.

This definitely~ was stroking my ego a little bit, and it was a tad overwhelming as I made my way towards the square that Aunty had told me about, using my 'training' from my old life to cut a confident stride that made it easy to cut through the crowd.

Walking with a purpose was something that just made people get out of your way because they thought you were going to do something important; in reality I was just heading to get a job and that was it, so... important to me but not important to them.

Anyways, as I entered the square I was greeted with the sight of hundreds of wooden boards surrounding the edges of the square, with each of them covered in dozens of papers each that had been nailed to the board.

Dozens of people read those dozens of papers on each board, and whenever someone found what they were looking for they yanked the paper down and began to walk away, making me a little giddy as I realized this might be easier than I had thought.

Picking the first board, I soon realized that the 'easy' label was very much not the case since each job listing was either incredibly vague, offering no set payment, and some were simply looking for a certain thing to be delivered to them from out in the wild.

Animal and monster parts that they needed for something, fresh meat that they wanted to cook into something, vegetables, fruits and herbs that grew in weird places, and some were looking for ore and rocks.

In other words... one off requests that didn't offer a full time position somewhere for a salary, which was... what I had been looking for, and any that seemed to have the potential to be a full time job were yanked away from the board immediately, with some people even hunting those people down to get that listing.

Thankfully they never tore the paper up or anything, but they were definitely crumpled and ripped at some parts, which might make an impression on the person requesting them..?

Either way, I browsed the listings before just sighing as I decided that I did in fact need to find a listing that could lead to a job that wasn't implicitly stated; some kind of brick and mortar store that would need a constant supply of whatever they were asking for could use a dedicated person to gather those things for them.

With that in mind, I looked for somewhat easy listings that were able to be done in a couple hours before figuring out who was asking, and that took me a few minutes.

A jewelry store asking for various metal ores that were in specific locations, a bakery that wanted me to find berries and fruits out in the wilds, and even a clothing store that needed feathers and leather from monsters to make high end clothing for people.

Some of those got snatched up because they were from known places - I guess, anyways - and others were left on the board thanks to the lack of reward offered or the things they were asking for; to me, I knew where some of those items they wanted were, and I was happy to get them, but...

I needed to work for me too, and my strengths were definitely in hunting, not gathering nor mining, so I soon found myself staring at a paper and contemplating it before I just took it lest someone steal it out from under me.

'Help Wanted! 

We are in desperate need of some fresh monster meat of any kind, and will pay negotiate price per pound brought to us!

Find us at 'Zenith Glade' to discuss more!'

When I picked it up though, a hulking Orc beside me snorted and said "Good luck with that, newbie..." before slinking into the crowd, causing me to lose sight of her; with that lingering in my ears, I decided I might as well just try this one out, since if it failed I had the ability to come back here tomorrow and find something new.
