Hi family,

I am 10 years old now, and not much fun has happened in the past 6 years. I still wake up early in the morning for sword practice, and I also help out at the clinic where my father works. My job is to clean up after the alchemist and assist the person working in storage.

You want to know how much I get paid? Actually, I do not get paid since in the Elfen country, you are considered an adult at the age of 50. With a lifespan of 1500 years, I figured I should volunteer before reaching adulthood. This way, when I do start working as an adult, I can climb the ladder quickly. I plan to volunteer at the mines between the ages of 20 and 30, so when the time comes, I can choose whether to become a miner or an alchemist in the future.

Twelve years have passed, and I've been working in the mines for 2 years now. I work in a gold mine, and my job is to help remove the rubble after the blast. The work is tough, and I always come home tired. However, I take it as training, and my physical strength has improved since I started working here. Although I don't like using a big sword, I believe strength is important for a swordsman.

The other day, my father asked me about my dream or goal. My answer is simple: I want to live a normal life with mom and build her a big house. I want her to enjoy life without worries. It's not like I want to be a hero or anything. I know my limits, and I don't want to put mom in danger. In my past life, I used to mooch off my parents, and I was embarrassed about it. Even though my father always complained, my mother always supported me.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

Lately, I've noticed that mom is no longer smiling like she used to. Is dad cheating on her? Oh, help me God, I hope not because I might be going to prison soon. I asked dad about mom's condition, and he seems to think I am the cause of it. Which means he doesn't know either. I will investigate this matter. Today after work, I met up with an old friend and paid him 10 silver coins to find any information, especially at mom's workplace, that might explain her sadness. I hope it's not something big or bad.

Regarding my training so far:

- Name: Elfan

- Race: Elf

- Level: 30

- Mana: 110

- Skills: Alchemy level 7, Mining level 3, Swordsmanship level 5, ¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ level?????

My level has improved a lot, especially in Alchemy due to working in the clinic. My father's level in Alchemy is 5, and he was surprised since mine rose faster than his. Actually, in my previous life, I was good at chemistry. Even though Alchemy and chemistry are different, I find them similar. However, Alchemy is complicated because it involves herbs, magic, and magic circles.

Today is Friday, and it's been a month since I requested the information. My friend just gave me a sealed letter containing the information, and I will open it when I get home.
