Pieces of Hope
Chapter 1: The Porter Man.

"Xiang Yu hurry! There will be more and more monsters to come" said a man of great stature due to muscles. "You're bringing this dungeon stuff right away!" he added while handing over the monster meat

Xiang Yu stuffed it in a large bag, he worked as a porter or a freight carrier for the explorer team. While he only earns a rough wage with such activities.

With his body lacking mana he could not do much, even fighting monsters with muscular strength would be different as a result, so Xiang Yu only chose hard work rather than risking his life. Otherwise, his mother would have suffered.

"Hurry now!"

The man's voice grew louder after leaving far away Xiang Yu, while the bag that Xiang Yu was carrying was getting crowded and heavy making him walk slowly.

"Patience, he's also hauling our stuff, too" said a woman in his team who showed a complicated face when she saw Xiang Yu covered in sweat. "We're a little bit more at the edge of the forest, then not far from the city, no." added while patting the man's shoulder

The two of them met Xiang Yu while taking missions in the adventurer guild with Xiang Yu's position as Porter he was like a burden in the team.

The man was silent, but stepped even faster to leave the two of them.

While on the edge of the forest, a town is seen from a distance several caravans fill the main line to enter the city, only they are held back because of periodic checks requested by city regulations.

Similarly, when Xiang Yu and the two adventurers wanted to enter the village, they also had to do that by handing over the adventurer guild card, they also had to do that by handing over the adventurer guild card, only Xiang Yu was different he gave the Porter guild card because it was his work ID.

After entering the city the bustling atmosphere with the sea of humans was clearly visible, they were like fish, only they were moving with their brains instead of their intuition. They walked and talked on the street making this area even more festive. Sometimes Xiang Yu saw another famous adventurer team member he thought of after a long time as Porter.

When they came to the Adventurers Guild Union, Xiang Yu handed the contents of the bag over to the Guild Adventurers' Guild recipes for checking the mission under way.

"For the blue moon grass to exactly weigh 50kg, the Black Eye Snake's flesh was fulfilled, and lastly doing the monster cleansing in Sulzie village was completed. For the reward of 1 gold 5 silver" the Receptionist said coldly while giving money in the form of gold to Xiang Yu's group. "You can accept tomorrow's low-rank mission again, take a break to recover your energy." It looks like Recapsonis is like memorizing every word, he said, even every adventurer who came to him and handed him the mission report he would say that.

"Thank you," Xiang Yu replied as he took the gold.

Xiang Yu walked up to his team again, then told them that they got a prize of 1 gold 5 silver. However, since Xiang Yu was only a porter with a large contribution he only got 20 copper and the other 65 copper however the wages belonged to the lowest Xiang Yu.

"Thank you, I'll see you later."

The three of them agreed to separate after completing the mission.

Xiang Yu decided to buy vegetable scraps and seasonings from the money he received after carrying out the mission.

"I'm home, Mother,"

Inside a woman was lying limp, her face was so pale.

As he looked at Xiang Yu, his face smiled warmly while trying to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Mother, don't push yourself."

Seeing that Xiang Yu directly helped his mother sit down. His face was filled with trepidation as he looked at his fragile mother.

Previously, Mother Xiang Yu was an adventurer, but after she suffered internal injuries she was unable to do anything about it. Even the use of Mananya does not surf first.

Xiang Yu did not know his own mother's background, only that he often saw her accidentally upon returning home from a mission trip, if only the royal personal bodyguards making contact with their mother would pay their respects.

Even as he deliberately searched for tau, it was like there was a thick fog covering him.

Only one did he know, the royal guard was looking at Mother Xiang Yu respectfully!

After Xiang Yu grew older, the royal attendant was no longer there to see Mother Xiang Yu. Who cares, right? Now Xiang Yu only focused on raising money to cure his mother's illness.

That is his determination in the heart!

Carved in a very lazy way, in his heart to see his mother's happy smile again.

-- Xiang Yu started cooking the ingredients he bought earlier. Making soup to be eaten by his mother and him.

"Mother, rest I will clean the house," Xiang Yu said as he took a broom from the corner of the hanging room

Seeing that Mother Xiang Yu just slowly went to her bed again. "You should also rest Xiang Yu. You're exhausted as a porter."

Xiang Yu just laughed answering him, he swept the room of the house and cleaned it from the dust.

The house became quiet again, the leftovers were put by Xiang Yu in a special cupboard, after which he washed the dishes.

Time passed, twilight arrived tired body had forced him to fall asleep on a long sofa with a slumber.
