In a world beginning to stabilize after an era of chaos, merchants risk their lives traveling long routes to carry resources between settlements. The profits can be enormous, but so is the price of failure. Alden didn't choose this profession; the profession chose him. Author's Note Before we begin, I think it's necessary to clarify what kind of story this is. This is not the story of a protagonist destined to become the strongest in the world. Nor that of a genius who always has the right answer. But it's not a Slice of Life where everything is peaceful and good vibes either. Alden is not a classic merchant, but throughout the entire story he will remain a merchant. If that interests you, welcome. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I'm enjoying writing it.
