Sin of Yesterday
- Chapter 4
A new day arrived, and everyone was waiting for the mysterious man.
Soon as he arrived, he took everyone's attention.
Suddenly proud of his beauty that he couldn't brag with his brothers, he smirked internally.
But before he could continue his proud self, a small hand appeared in his vision. Handing him a slice of bread. "Beautiful sir, this bread is for you!" A child said, "I hope the gods would bless you!"
Seeing his pure innocence, Vorjax was surprised. But then, he took the bread gladly and ruffled the kid's hair.
"Thank you so much, young man. You will grow as what you like." And as Vorjax ruffled the hair, a small weird tattoo appeared on the kid's back, just between the shoulders and neck.
Blessing him, Vorjax sealed the kid's fate. It may not be a smooth road, but it is long. His blessings should be enough to remove any life and death obstacles.
Anyway, my brothers said I should be kind. No, they didn't
The villagers greeted him and invited him to sit down, and the horse carriage transported them from the village to his first stop. The city of Phaethon.
Phaethon may be one of those outdated cities but it couldn't hide the fact that it is still advanced in technology.
The guards by the entrance of the city sneered at the chief of the village who was driving the carriage, "Poor people aren't allowed in this place."
The other guard: "Yeah, you'll just dirty the place!"
The chief didn't react to their mocking as if he was used to it. "I have 10 silver to pay for the entrance…"
Guard: "What 10? There are 3 carriages and 12 people."
The chief's back was soaking because of the hot weather and nervousness.
Vorjax, annoyed at the blabbering, spoke. "I'll pay for it. 10 gold should be enough for these to shut up, no?"
Looking at the man that has elegance, they stilled for a bit but still sneered. "There are still people who act rich!"
Just as the other guard agree, they were thrown with 10 golds. "Go, pick all of it. Poor people."
And Vorjax decided to walk inside on his own.
The chief looked at his leaving back in surprise, but then just rode his horse and led the carriage.
The villagers, seeing those guards pick up all golds as if it rained from the sky, mocked. "At least we villagers still have dignity!"
The chief soon caught up on Vorjax, who was walking slowly. "Mister, thank you for the help. How can I pay you back?"
The chief is silently thinking about how to pay back the mister because the total money they bought couldn't even catch up on 10 golds.
He just internally blessed himself in hopes of getting a good sale for today.
But to his surprise, Vorjax didn't plan on letting him pay it back at all.
"No worries, just a small amount, you do not need to dwell on how to pay it back." Vorjax stopped for a moment and thought for a second. "Come to think of it, I haven't paid Jena back. Can I ask for you to pass it to her?" And Vorjax handed 5 golds.
The chief looked at him with a thoughtful look and took the golds. "Alright, mister. I cannot thank you enough for your generosity."
Vorjax just waved and left elegantly, planning to look around the city.
Anyway, with the presence of the king, the villagers would be blessed.

It should be enough for their kindness.
Whatever happens in the future, Vorjax decides to not care.
Meanwhile, in the guardhouse. The 2 guards are still happily holding the golds. Sharing it equally, and suddenly. A mystery occurred. One of the guards' golds went missing, in doubt, he questioned the other.
"Where're my golds?!"
In confusion, the other looked at him, "What do you mean?"
The guard went to him and checked the other's whole body, and felt a bulging, turns out the other golds were in the guard's body!
Realizing it, "No, no, I didn't steal it!!"
The guard punched the stealer, "If you didn't, why is it in your pockets?!"
The guardhouse plundered into chaos, while the trickster strolled around the city in amusement.
It wasn't Vorjax fault anyway, he's just doing his job.
Looking around, he saw that people mostly don't have any bags at all. Only weird holographic things. But it wasn't a surprise, Vorjax thought because the world seems to be more advanced in technology.
To test it for himself, Vorjax made a copy out of a person that looks rich enough to be rich.
The dude wore gold jewelry all around his body, looking like a walking Holiday Tree.
Funnily enough, there was a Holiday Tree just beside him.
Vorjax was amused and then continued to look around while scanning his new toy.
It was said to be called a light brain, the type is B. Enough for middle-class people to buy.
Vorjax made his new account, tampered with the system for the ID, and saw many interesting things. Like social media, forums, and many others.
But his interest was soon caught by a weird humanoid thing.
Turning off his light brain, he walked to a shop.
A mecha.
Looking at the prices, the shopkeeper saw that a person was scanning his shop. And was about to shoo him away, until he saw the person's looks and clothes.
The shopkeeper thought: "Maybe a young master experiencing the life of the poor?"
Enthusiastically, the shopkeeper greeted, "Hello, young master! Welcome, welcome. Do you plan to buy anything?"
Vorjax ignored the shopkeeper and scanned all mechas on display, and unfortunately, they were all low-grade.
While the shopkeeper is still blabbering: "...mm how about this one? Yes yes it is the new one!"
Since all of it is of low quality, Vorjax left.
The shopkeeper who was ignored: . . .(ノಥ益ಥ)ノ ┻━┻
Fuck you and your ancestors to the eighteenth generation!!
Smol Theater
Vorjax who was still strolling around scratched his head: "Why do I feel like someone's cursing me?"
