My name is Mirko, I’m a Corporal of the Kingdom Army.
I’m a commoner, so I enlisted in the army and started as Private.
Well, it was pretty easy to make it to Private First Class, I just needed to survive two battles.

That being said, many people get injured in those first two battles and are discharged.

It’s been ten years since I enlisted, I made sure to be careful so I can survive.
I was finally promoted to Corporal, so I’m a squad leader now.
Squad leaders have two subordinate privates.

Our platoon leader is Second Lieutenant Patrick Riggsby, a member of a noble family.
He’s a young, average-looking, short man with a weak presence, but he’s got a crazy side.
When the going gets tough, he turns into something special.

Another person of note in my platoon is Master Sergeant Wayne Kimble, another squad leader of the platoon.
He’s another aristocrat, and you can really tell.
He’s a tall blonde, blue-eyed man, who even other men will admit is handsome.
It feels like he’s got an aura around him.

He’s strong, fast and easy to rely on.
The battle against the troll was won by those two people, without them I would just be a corpse in the forest.

I must be lucky to be in this platoon.

Now, where did the platoon leader go this time? Do I need to spend 30 minutes looking again?

Oh, the Master Sergeant recommends looking around the back of trees?

Ah, I finally found the platoon leader.
