Worst fucking day of my life. It was also the day the invaders showed up. We didn’t know what they wanted but it became plain when their leader sent a message to Kings that the Frost King would accept our surrender and complete submission to his will and worship of him as a God.

When the Kings declared war I wasn’t much interested or noticed that much. I had gotten back to the city and was trying to gain the funds I needed by gambling away what I had earned in the race.

I was fucked stupid I know. But it is what is. I was out of money and needed a job. I could fight and run messages so I took hustling as solo bodyguarding shop keeps and protecting people with the credits to pay. It’ wasn’t racing money but it paid the bills.

I was busy running a message to someone when I caught sight of the recruiting adds around the city.

“50k a day and upgraded solo status. That interested me more then fighting in the war. I was a silver grade but a gold grade solo hiring fee was 60k. It gave me pause in my thinking. I didn’t want to go fight in a stupid war but I couldn’t stop thinking about my sister.
