Description
Vicious criminals, bloodthirsty monsters, wanted fugitives—if there’s a bounty on their heads, I will hunt them down. The other world I work in is brutal, and even though it's only a part-time job, I dream of the day I can leave it behind. I just hope my time there doesn’t change me more than it already has. I already carry enough regrets.
Can I still live a normal life as a high school student in Japan while fighting and killing in a savage other world? Can I hide a secret that would shatter my peaceful life if exposed? After facing an unexpected crisis, I’m no longer sure. I’m a cold-hearted mercenary... so why am I stuck playing the hero?

Chapter 1 - My Part-Time Job
June 1st, 2088
My name is Cross Minato, with the family name being Cross and my given name being Minato. I am 15 years old, having just graduated from middle school and now starting my summer break. As one would expect from my name, I am half-Japanese and half-American. This is also reflected in my appearance: I have green eyes, dark brown hair and a perfect blend of facial features that make it impossible to tell my nationality. Sometimes I would catch people staring at me, probably because they were trying to figure out where I came from.
My mother is an elegant beauty from Tokyo while my father is a rugged rancher from Texas. I was born in the USA, although we moved to Tokyo when I was about 7. My mother is a corporate lawyer, while my father started an American steakhouse chain after moving to Japan which became surprisingly successful.
At this point, one would assume that I would say that I am a perfectly normal teenager. I wish I could say that but I won’t, since that would be a lie. It was the first day of summer break and I was alone since my mother was working a big case at the office and my father was on a business trip to Sapporo.
After eating a simple breakfast, I went to my room and started getting dressed in preparation for my shitty part-time job. It was a job I was doing in secret, so I was only able to work hours here and there when my parents weren’t around. But my parents are gone a lot, so I have ended up putting in quite a few hours.
I put on some light brown hiking pants with dark brown steel-toed combat boots and steel greaves. The leather belt threaded through my pants had leather pouches attached. Up top I had a green long sleeved shirt beneath a black chest-piece of a military riot armor along with some steel demi-gauntlets (fingers had flexible cloth with steel on back of hand).
