Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: problematic work

5 days Has passed After the distortion and nothing out of the ordinary has happened for a while

I was promoted to a grade 7 Fixer As the Hana Associate Seemed to recognized My effort and Feats considering i've done a Good amount of Contracts in the backstreet for the past especially the distortion case.

Since i was raised to grade 7 the contract payment had been more Plentiful than usual which is a good thing as i can take care of hae-un better than when i was still a grade 8

For those wondering why am i not grade 9 i was promoted to grade 8 a couple days ago while i was grinding and working through many Contracts each day like a madman just to meet the daily sustenance for us to live.

Now then onto the next topic and that is the fact i've discovered a unique feature from the Threads i got , i Gained a fraction of Its power and physical stats when i Threadspinned it into the identity upon using the id which meant that whatever distortion i killed and threadspinned into certain identity i'll be able to use its power

Its a bit confusing and a little bit hard to comprehend considering Threads supposedly only strenghten and unlock potentials that has been laying low from either id and ego but i guess that person gave a extra tweak for it..

If evreything function from the game is straying from the original purpose im not sure what the other things that i havent know Will do to me and the others.

*thud thud thud!*

A small footstep of a child began to get closer as in the living room hae-un was walking with her right hand holding a paper with Colourful drawing Made from cheap-crayons

"Dad!!" hae-un would suddenly spoke outloud when she noticed me proceeding to run with the paper

My attention drifted to her when she screamed , it was unusual for her to call me dad but the reason why is that i told her to call me dad and also because i've fully taken her as my child so that i can raise her so that she can live a normal life with bright future ahead.

"what is it hae-un?"

She quickly climbed into the couch before holding the paper with both of her hands and revealing her drawings , it was a poorly-made drawing of Me and Her holding hands together in the streets like any other drawings kids has Made for their parents

It does look odd but for whatever reason it gives a warmth feeling to my chest when seeing that she does it with effort and so i Gently grabbed her paper looking at it and then looked back at her with a amused smile

"Its a good drawing , it'll be a waste for us to just throw it away right?"

She nodded in agreement when i said that and so i lifted her up then walking to the fridge pinning the paper into it with a magnet

"good job , you did good hae-un"

Her face was filled with Joy when i complimented her , she smiled with a pure Joy which lead to her feeling more Excitement and motivation to draw more

"Since dad said my drawing is good I Will be drawing more for you to see!" She remarked before walking back to the bedroom when i put her back into the floor

I quietly extended my hand as if to stop her but i stopped in a few second sighing with a worried look

"well i guess theres nothing stopping a child from doing whatever they think they are good at huh"

After i said that i looked at the clock above the couch in which the time was 10:30 am now which is the start of my schedule aka doing Fixer work

Seeing the time right now i grabbed my worn-out jacket that had accompanied me from being a rat till now and a shortsword incase i had to actually fend for myself without the id

I would see hae-un first before leaving as i have her a kiss in the cheeks and making sure all the necessities for her is there

After a measure of security checks and others i slowly left the place locking the door then walking away to do a casual viewing of the streets.

---------------------

a man slowly drag his body in the ground with his leg being sprained from running away , i slowly walked behind him before killing him with my katana.

I Took a deep sigh as i had finished the 5th contract i got this day now turning my back away from the lifeless body and smoking a bar of cigarettes and puffing up grays clouds from my mouth , you might think the cigar are just for cool factor and you're mostly right but its also a way for me to cope and release a part of burden from my mind because of the excessive violence and cruel sights

But im not gonna smoke everywhere especially when my 'daughter' is around me , i don't want her to try my bad habits.

Fatherly Talk aside its been a while since i've done something in that place maybe i should use the ticket i got from that guy butl i'll use it later i guess

As i exhaled my problems away a figure suddenly appeared infront of my eyes , a moderately tall figure wielding a longsword yeah..totally harmless.

The figure began to walk closer towards me until the entire body Became more clear and Visible from all of that darkness in the alleyway , it was a lady-like person with a long smooth like black hair and the eyes that resembled a clear turqouise colour similar to those sparkly Colourful ocean

Unfortunately she drifted past by me only focusing at the person i had just dealt with as if analyzing how it all went down from the injuries and wounds itself but she didn't get to make up a clear result from it beacuse my katana only hits the soul and not the physical body

That Clearly left her a bit confused before turning her head back at me and approach in a calm demeanor

"Are You the one that killed the person in the ground?"

Her voice was mature and soothing for a Fixer..i wonder what Made her become one.

"Yeah i killed him , its apart of my client request to exterminate the rats so what?"

Hearing the oh so obvious answer a powerful killing intent emitted within her which Made me tense up before she stopped it and proceed to take a deep breath of frustration

"that guy is my target too, is your client perhaps a bald man wearing green shirt?" Her index finger would stab my chest with a minimal Force as she Spoke in a low-intimidating tone

"How'd you kno-oohhhh"

"yeah , That bald Bastard double contract both of us."

With the answer being revealed both of us stared eachother in deep silence before i sigh in frustration because of the unnecessary problem

"Welp in that case , how about the both of us talk to our client to resolve this situation?"

"Yeah sure , sounds good"

As we concluded with a agreement both of us began to walk away to confront the bald Bastard.
