A Day in the Life of a Mercenary

Written by Mercenary W on Sat Oct 21 2023

Introduction

Well, well, well. Look who's back for another thrilling peek into the life of yours truly, Mercenary W. Today was just like any other day in this chaotic world we live in. Explosions here and there, enemies to be taken down, and a whole lot of suspicion from my so-called comrades at Rhodes Island (R.I.). But hey, what can I say? Life as a mercenary is never dull.

Morning Routine: A Blast to Start the Day

I wake up before the crack of dawn every morning because let's face it - sleep is overrated when you're constantly on edge. As I stumble out of bed with messy hair and blurry eyes, my first order of business is always breakfast...or should I say an explosion disguised as breakfast?

Breakfast: Nothing gets me going quite like starting off the day with some good old-fashioned destruction. So today's menu consisted of homemade explosive pancakes topped with C4 syrup and grenades instead of butter. Trust me when I say that these bad boys are the bomb.

After devouring my deadly meal without losing any limbs (a personal victory), it was time to gear up for whatever chaos awaited me outside those R.I. walls.

Assignment: The Hunt Begins

As usual, Commander Amiya handed out our assignments for the day during our daily briefing session at R.I.'s command center – or as I affectionately call it "The Boring Room." However grumpy they might feel about having me around all suspicious-like; even they couldn't deny that when it came to explosives expertise - no one could hold a candle to yours truly.

Objective: Our mission today involved infiltrating an enemy Reunion stronghold located deep within Chernobog City outskirts – where all sorts of unsavory characters liked to hide their nefarious activities from prying eyes… until someone blew them sky-high!

With Ascalon, my personal watchdog assigned to babysit me (or so they think), we set off on our merry way. The journey was long and treacherous, but nothing I couldn't handle.

Infiltration: A Dance with Danger

Stealth has never been my strong suit – I prefer a more "explosive" approach to things. So naturally, when it came time for infiltration, I tossed subtlety out the window like yesterday's trash.

Entrance: As we approached the Reunion stronghold's heavily guarded entrance gate, my fingers itched to press that shiny red button strapped securely in my pocket - ready to unleash chaos upon those unsuspecting fools guarding their precious hideout.

Boom! With one well-placed explosive charge and a lot of flying debris later; we had ourselves an entrance worthy of any action movie you've ever seen. Dust settled around us as alarms blared throughout the compound – music to my ears.

Firefight: Chaos ensued as bullets flew through the air and explosions rocked every corner of that wretched place. It was like dancing in a battlefield symphony where destruction served as our rhythm section while screams harmonized perfectly with gunfire echoes.

As enemy soldiers fell left and right under Ascalon's watchful eye (and mine too), it became clear that this reunion was going down faster than anyone could have anticipated - thanks largely in part because yours truly happened by accident or not-so-accidentally dropped some explosives here there... everywhere!

Extraction: Smoke Clears

With enemies reduced to smoldering piles of rubble beneath our feet (a sight worth savoring), it was time for extraction before reinforcements arrived or worse yet… someone started questioning my methods again!

Escape Route: We made our way towards an underground escape tunnel hidden within Chernobog City outskirts' labyrinth-like sewer system – talk about luxury accommodations! As we navigated through the dark and dank passageways, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Another mission accomplished.

Final Boom: Just when we thought we were in the clear, a group of desperate Reunion remnants decided to give us one last parting gift – an explosive surprise! But little did they know that W is always prepared for anything.

With a swift flick of my wrist and a grin on my face, I hurled one last grenade towards them - turning their surprise attack into nothing more than another fiery display mixed with screams and shattered dreams. Boom!

Reflection: The Aftermath

As Ascalon patted me on the back (in what could be considered as close to approval as he's ever gotten), we made our way back to R.I.'s command center. The looks from some personnel said it all – suspicion still hung heavy in the air around me like an unwanted guest at dinner party.

But you know what? That's okay because while they may continue doubting my intentions or questioning whether joining R.I was just some elaborate ruse; at least I get to keep doing what I love most - blowing things up! And who knows? Maybe one day they'll come around... or maybe not.

Either way, this mercenary life suits me just fine... explosions included.
