10:00 AM
wake up and get ready for the day, living in District K, I'm blessed with a somewhat normal life, well as normal as you can get in this city.

**Beep** **beep**
**Bee—**

I stopped the alarm clock just as I woke up from sleeping, rubbing my eyes I got out of my bed and to the bathroom to get ready for the day.

Washing my face I looked in the mirror, no mere but a dull look in my face, brown eyes, black hair, an average stature, after finishing up I went to the shower and bathed to start the day.

Walking out of the bathroom with a towel on, I searched my room for clothes, and after some time I managed to find ones that I would wear today.

Finishing up preparations, I was ready for the day, I saved up enough money to buy a house lock from J corp I used the lock to secure my house, I have the keys given to me by the corporation. With that, I began walking to my job.

Being a fixer is dangerous, but we also have people like the Cinq Association having a generally more decent life while only doing arrangements for meetings of other associations, but they still specialize in one on one duels, so it is still dangerous.

I think you can guess what my job is, I'm just a humble office salary worker nothing much, I try my best to survive in this place.

12:00 PM

"You're late again" said my manager, I apologize before continuing to my space and starting to work.

Ever since I was born, a dull and meaningless life is better for me than the one full of adventures.

"ARGHHHHH I CANT TAKE THIS ANYMORE!" a coworker screamed in agony as the others began to evacuate the office, I decided to follow suit as I saw my 'coworker' turned into an abomination, a few hours after the incident some people were called to deal with the problem, but with the incident happening and the cleanup being ongoing, the manager decided to let us go home early.

With a sigh, I walked towards my house, nothing special happening other than the incident.

2:00 PM

Right as I opened my house I turned on the tv letting it play in the background while settling down.

"A new incident happened in district 11, as a distortion phenomenon happened mere hours ago..."

The news report trailed as I got to my kitchen and searched for packaged food to eat, luckily I found some I started opening it before starting to eat.

This got me wondering, what really is an average life in the city? Is it how full a routine is? Or is it how dull a person lives their life? But I really shouldn't bother myself with those thoughts, what's important is I live, and that's all there is.

I checked my schedule for the week, with the recent incident work not available until it gets resolved, so I have 4 days of no work, which means free time.

I guess I could use those days to explore the district then, or maybe I could go to the great lake? Yeah I'll just do that then.

With that, I finished eating, switching the channel of the tv to another channel.

I just want to live an average life in this world, but dangerous things will always be present.
