What should you do if at least half of a race was obsessed with doing business?
Logically, it would be a huge problem. If everyone was making money, who would work and spend it?
But I often felt this world had been designed, because the half of the Wind Sickles who weren't obsessed with business happened to be very powerful. Their companion scythes were naturally strong.
Meanwhile, the scythes of those Wind Sickles who liked business and were good at it not only lacked much in the way of abilities, but were also extremely brittle, forcing them to spend vast sums collecting all kinds of materials to upgrade their scythes.
In short, a Wind Sickle's scythe was either good at slitting beasts' throats or fleecing customers.
I happened to be a Wind Sickle who wasn't particularly fond of business.
I would go to the most dangerous places in the world of Ton-Ton to search for the rarest gems, metals, or minerals. As long as I found one and sold it to those Merchant Scythes with a knack for business, I could live comfortably for years.
But as I said, the world had been designed.
Wind Sickles who loved combat and adventure wouldn't stop living such thrilling lives just because they'd earned enough money.
Likewise, Wind Sickles who loved making money wouldn't stop making it just because they'd earned enough.
It all sounded very cool, and rather heartwarming.
Not only did we complement one another, we needed one another, forming a perfect closed loop.
When those of us who loved adventure grew old, we could find any job at a shop run by Wind Sickles.
Those Wind Sickles with a natural talent for business made money easily and spent it generously, too. Every job came with excellent pay and benefits.
