Chapter Title: I Am the Magic Tower's Indefinite Contractor
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I am the Magic Tower's indefinite contractor.
Do you know what an indefinite contractor is?
In a nutshell, it's an employment form stuck between full-time and contract work.
It offers the job security of a regular position alongside the pay and benefits of a temp— a uniquely Korean gig.
Think of it as a long, skinny post you settle into for the haul.
That's why some call it a lifetime part-time job.
Why bring up indefinite contractors out of nowhere?
Why? Because that's what I am.
"S-Spare..."
"Me?"
That's right—an indefinite contractor in a fantasy world, no less.
I finished off the last bandit clinging to life.
If he wanted to live, he shouldn't have started begging for his life in the first place.
Who told him to rob a noble's tax carriage?
"Sir Daniel."
"Yeah? What is it?"
Not content with just hitting that noble tax carriage, I'd been cleaning up the mountain hideout of these mad thieves who put their faith in evil gods when my knight, Kim Lee, approached.
"Word from the Magic Tower. They've got an emergency request."
"Hand it over."
I checked the letter.
"Whoa."
The exclamation slipped out on its own.
The emergency request was that insane.
As expected of this fantastic romance-fantasy world. Solve one explosion, and another pops up somewhere else.
"Ugh. Not even time for a break. Let's head out, Kim Lee."
"Where to this time?"
"The eastern front."
Kim Lee nodded.
Before long, I climbed aboard the carriage led by Kim Lee's partner, Slay, and closed my eyes.
A mountain of backlog would be waiting when I reached the outpost, so if I wanted to hold up, I needed to catch some sleep now.
'I wonder how much this month's pay will be?'
My name is Daniel Norman.
Magic Tower indefinite contract black mage.
