(Ruin's POV)

  Life sure is is difficult. I mean it wouldn't really be living If there was no such thing as difficulty but it can be annoying

  as I walked along the alleyways, passing by heaps of garbage and scraps lying around, I find myself a bit bored and tired

  I then looked at my phone, where all my tasks for today has been listed

  (Mandatory Tasks for Technical Works department)(

  (Task #1-"Subjugate" any potential threats found in the alleyways by midnight(Incomplete)

  (Task #2-Clean up any remnants and traces of the riot that occured(Incomplete)

  (Task #3-Report back to main department after the prior tasks has been completed(Incomplete)

  (Time Limit:None)(Request From:Anonymous)

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  I sighed as I checked the 3 main tasks I have to complete today

  This isn't all that bad at a glance, but it's a bit cruel once you know what this list implies. I really can't believe after 2 years of doing these tasks, It still is terrible and cruel. You'd think the system would've changed but it really doesn't seem like it.

  I look around this dark and silent alleyway as I then calmly reassessed my current predicament and what kind of life I am living at the moment

  I live in a city. A city in which strives for technological advances at the cost of the people around it, it will do anything it takes to finish it's mission of advancing. It doesn't care what it has to do to get there. It's a purely optimized city filled with quality of life improvements.

  At a cost of burning millions of Xil, the hard work of its people and the lives of those working people. All so the city could advance and move forward.

  Man this sucks. And well as much as I'd love to get to the nitty gritty of the politics I really don't want to at the moment. It would be terrible and cruel to think about it even more. And quite frankly I don't want it ruining my day.

  Well, enough ranting in my head time to do what needs to be done.

  I then adjust my black suit and tie as well as my posture whilst maintaining my facial features to only show the least bit of emotion as possible, as I then take out a weird googly eye glasses from my pocket as I wore it above my head.

  I promise it's a necessary thing. It really is, I say to myself affirming that I'm not being entirely stupid and unreasonable. Because goofy and unrealistic it may be it helps when it comes to certain situations. Primarily the ones that don't involve bloodshed and-

  "AHHHHH-" my thoughts were interrupted as a shrill and grueling scream echoed right behind me. I then turn around and begin to approach the source of the sound

  Let's hope I don't fuck this up early on.
