⟨Markus⟩[Present]

I have a Job(I think) now this is how it happened.

Po lo lo lo lo~~. (Flashback sound effects)

"Ok I already finished introduction and I know this is a sudden request but.."

Huh what is he asking?

"Can you touch this orb?"

"Sure..." I replied.

What the heck is this orb anyway?

A text Appeared.

[Appraisal Orb]

Huh? Appraisal Orb?

[Appraisal Orb: An orb that allows you to see your status, abilities, skills and etc...]

Well it is in the name.

Ok lets touch this thing.

Please don't take that out of context.

I touched the orb and it gleamed a Vermilion glow.

And then a holographic screen appeared above the orb showing my status and info.

"So you really have this strange ability." He said with fascination and Awe.

"I guess I'm on the right track then Ehmm Markus I have a proposition for you."

How does he know my name-.. Oh wait he Appraised me with the blue orb thingy he must got my name there.

"I study and fund a research project about people like you with unique abilities that no human or any other species of sentient creatures have."

So basically he wants me to be a lab rat?

No thank you

I walked away

"Wait wait where are you going of course you're not gonna work for free I will pay you of course and I'm also willing to pay for your tution in university."

My right ear got bigger. Hmm I'm interested go on.

I went back to my original position.

"Well do you agree or not?"

I dunno you seem sketchy?

"I can tell you're  probably wandering if I'm the real deal (Honestly I can't really tell because of his uhmm "Poker face")"

"Look me up" He handed his phone to me and looked his name up.

Pffffff!!!!

Holy shoot Ha?

He has an estimated net worth of 5 billion?!!

Did my soul just left my body.

Ok this is my only chance at becoming
a millionaire so relax.

"Do you believe me now?"

I nodded yes.

"So here's the contract."

I quickly signed it and tadaa I have a Job(I think).

"Did I mentioned that you're not the only one we found so far."

Oh really? But who cares I have a job(Again I'm not really sure) now and I only need to do some experiments and after that just sitting in a couch all day long.

"You need to socialize with them ok you need to work together if you're gonna be an adventuring team."

My eyes widen.
