These people… I guess they\'re good people, aren\'t they? …I still cannot trust them too much, in fact, I can\'t, but there is a better impression of them in my mind now. I hope they don\'t break it on another occasion. Gaining trust from me is a very hard thing to accomplish. I should congratulate them for attempting to do it so easily and quickly… However, at the end of the day, people always have many facets of themselves. But for now, I will hear them out some more, and take their coins as well, there is no reason not to.

I grabbed the bag of coins and stash it beneath my robes, of course, I threw it inside my shadows behind their watchful eyes, as I continued looking at them and I nodded.

"Then I am also grateful for your help. I am a very poor serf, so this money will come in handy for my future." I said. "Although you said I am greedy, I don\'t spend my money foolishly and I only save it to maintain my family and help them survive while I save a bit for my own future."

"Hm, I guess I should apologize, I shouldn\'t had said that of a young child." Said Ellergest. "Anyways, now that we are done with this, what about joining us as a Priest? As a Head Priest, I can easily make you my Pupil, and I can teach you many things such as spell creation and theory, and other things that normal serfs and commoners don\'t have any idea of."

"This is the opportunity of your life, kid. If you join us, you can get out of this village and know the world while we go on pilgrimages and you\'ll even get paid for it." He said. "You can easily lift up your family from poverty as well, like I did! Now they all live in the capital comfortably."

"It is indeed a life-changing opportunity for you, Blank. Only the talented and blessed by the Holy Spirits will ever be given such an amazing opportunity as joining the Church as a Priest Pupil." Said Seth. "Join us and change your life forever."

The three priests all agreed that the best thing I could ever do in my entire life was becoming a priest, it was an easy way out of poverty without actually having to wage wars like soldiers do. So there is way less danger of death, you\'re also protected by three priests that teach you, all while you get paid for it by the church and you can even bring your family out of poverty and leave them living comfortably in the capital like Jack did…

However…

"I refuse."

Jack, Seth, and Ellergest opened their eyes wide as they looked at me with surprise and awe, any other child would have said yes without even hesitating, especially a serf that knew that they had no future. Although it was very tempting, I have other plans. Learning from the priests would be interesting but I want to explore this world by myself and with the people I choose to stay at my side. If I want to learn more about this world I have to go to some sort of academy for a couple of years, something that could teach me more about concepts I don\'t know about this world, such as Spirits and Talents, and the Holy Spirits, the Land itself, the sky, and a way out of this world to reunite with those that survived from my crew… but that would be for a long time from now.

I don\'t have the will to chain myself to this oppressive organization. Even if these priests have good intentions, apparently, the entire organization can\'t be this good, especially seeing how they always ask for fees for their services, can they even call themselves a church if they do such a thing? I suppose this world\'s people can do whatever they want and call themselves a church anyway. Well, whatever\'s the case, I glanced at the priests and awaited their response.

The three priests seemed impacted, but Ellergest was the one to speak first.

"W-What did you said? Blank, don\'t you know what you\'ve turned down? Serf kids barely have opportunities to even come out of their villages, no matter how much money you save…" He said. "Even if you become a commoner by paying the fee, what\'s even your talent? What are you going to do for society? Risking your life hunting down monsters and selling them like adventurers? Become a soldier? Those are the only two options, and both have very high risks! You won\'t know when you\'ll die in such professions… Are you really willing to abandon such an opportunity as becoming a prestigious priest, an influential figure in the future with your amazing abilities, just to hack and slash some monsters for money?"

Ellergest seemed the most impacted, he didn\'t liked how people wasted their lives hunting monsters to gain money and found that working towards such a goal was wasting away my entire life. They didn\'t Know that I was good at Alchemy, even less that I have a great talent at crafting all sorts of magical items as long as I have the materials, and that I am actually a very decent architect, and even more, I am quite good with finances and statistics, and I can run an entire enterprise as long as I build the money and the connections, and well, wait a long time as well, as it doesn\'t take just a second to make.

But yes, even with knowing I can do all those things, I am also willing to hack and slash monsters. Kill them, absorb their power, and continue growing stronger and earning money out of that, because that\'s the most fitting job for someone like me that only killed and killed more through my entire first life, for thousands of years, I only know about death, blood, and ambition.

"Yeah, I have already decided I will become a Hunter like my father."
