The Reincarnated Mercenary's Only Skill is Item Box

The Reincarnated Mercenary's Only Skill is Item Box

"No one ever helped me no matter how much I suffered. So, tell me...why would I help others if there's no benefit to it for me?" After being sold off by his parents to human traffickers due to a physical deformity and ending up as a resident of the underworld, a jaded mercenary is killed during a mission gone wrong. "If only there was a way to carry my entire arsenal of weapons without weighing myself down..." As he dies, he suddenly find himself waking up in a younger, unfamiliar body, in an unfamiliar world. He finds himself in a rundown orphanage located in a medieval world full of Magic and Monsters, his new body weak and frail. His new name is Jaedfern Meraled, or Jade for short. But he's not alone in being sent to this world...along with him for the ride is the Angel Arkiela, who was banished to this world for interfering with the human world out of boredom. Specifically, she used her powers to feed and amplify people's impulses and intrusive thoughts, including the people around Jade, whom she targeted to, in her words, "mess with", and subsequently went on to ruin his life. She then claims that their lives are now intertwined...if one of them dies, so will the other. While being uncertain as to whether she's being honest about that or lying so that he can't afford to kill her, Jade can't exactly risk putting it to the test, so he errs on the side of caution. Grudgingly, he decides to accept her presence around him, having no other choice in the matter. With that settled, she reveals that when people are reincarnated with their memories intact, they're given OP powers, usually as a reward or consolation for their circumstances in their previous life, and she then checks what abilities he's been bestowed with. In this world, there are three main elements to a person's Magic...their Magic Class; which is the core of their abilities, their Mana Pool; the quantity of Magical energy they possess, and finally, their Skills; special abilities that include active powers such as Appraisal and passive powers such as Heat Resistance. Each person possesses three Skills, without exception. As for Jade, his Magic Class is...well, he doesn't have one. And his Mana Pool...is nonexistent, he possesses no Magical energy whatsoever. And finally, his Skills...he only has one, titled "Mercenary's Item Box", a dimensional storage power with a number of abilities that can be unlocked by Leveling Up the Skill. Most people who are reincarnated are given OP powers, rewarded for either living a virtuous life, or as consolation for living a tortured life. But sometimes, people who've lived sinful lives, can be punished instead, bestowed with the bare minimum of abilities in worlds where such abilities are everything. And Jade is the latter. However, Jade may not necessarily be as bad off as it initially seems...because within his Item Box, is every weapon he owned during his previous life, weapons that don't exist in this world. Will it give him enough of an advantage to survive, and ideally thrive, in this medieval world rampant with violent crime and dangerous Monsters? One thing's for sure, it certainly won't be easy...

Introduction to Pandora's Box
Pandora's Box is an ancient fable that tells the story of a magical box that can turn a person's wishes into reality. The protagonist of the story was a goddess of wisdom. She was asked by a merchant to show her treasure. She opened the box, but inside the box was a curse that made people suffer. The main plot of the story was as follows: The goddess opened the box and there was a fairy inside. The fairy told the goddess that there was a magic wand in the box that could grant people their wishes. However, this wand could only be used at a specific time and place, and using it would bring about the corresponding consequences. The goddess decided to use the wand to fulfill her wish one morning, so she opened the box and inserted the wand into it. However, when the goddess used her wand, she found that her wish was no longer what she had expected, but a more miserable world. So the goddess decided to give up on using the wand and put the box back where it was. But the fairy in the box told the goddess that if she didn't close the box, her wish would come true. In the end, the goddess decided to close the box, but the elf inside told her that the box could only be opened at a specific time and place. So the goddess returned to her palace and decided to open the box at a specific time and place one morning. When the goddess opened the box, she found that there was only one elf inside. The elf told the goddess that her wish had come true, but she also brought a new problem. The elf could not escape her original fate and could only be trapped in the box forever. The end of the story tells us that even if we have good wishes, we must choose our wishes carefully and be careful not to let them be controlled by evil forces.
