My name was Viks. I had no surname and grew up in the slums. Everyone around me called me Viks, so "Viks" naturally became my name.
Some time ago, I was caught stealing in Goddess Plaza by a young knight and sent to the Kingdom of Lugnica's royal capital prison for rehabilitation.
Damn it, the royal capital's officials spent all day eating, drinking, and having fun, yet they locked a human like me in a prison for demi-humans!
Although I looked a little like a half-elf, I really was human!
Because of this face, he had indeed suffered quite a lot. Even now, when he recalled his days in prison, his ass still ached faintly.
He did not hate the young knight who had caught him. He hated those prison officials whose brains had grown in their asses and who thought with their asses!
At the Bauhinia Merchant Guild's promotional event that day, he met that young knight again. After it ended, he deliberately went to talk with him.
He wanted to become a knight too. That had been his childhood dream!
But later...
Who the hell knew how he had become a thief who could only cheat, steal, and swindle?
The young knight said he was unsuitable for it. His bones had already matured, so it would be difficult for training to yield much. More importantly, his faith in the Goddess of Light was not devout enough for him to sense Holy Light.
The young knight warmly recommended him for logistics work. Yes, the logistics department of the Bauhinia Merchant Guild, which cooperated with the Goddess of Light Cult. The days were easy, but the pay was too low. He had no house in the royal capital and had to walk a long way home from work every day.
