Hero of Darkness

Chapter 20: Gearing Up

The gust of morning wind flew by, accompanied by the pleasant chirping of birds. A man opened his eyes and finally left the land of dreams to return back to reality.

Kahn opened his eyes and yawned, "Nothing can beat a real bed no matter which world." said Kahn as he finally looked outside the window.

It was around 8 AM based on the position of the sun. Kahn let another yawn as he tried to stretch his body. He slept like a baby for the first time since he got reincarnated.

As he freshened up and took a warm bath first, he quickly left to meet Elanev.

After searching through some rooms, he finally found the office and saw the young Merchant busy tallying the ledgers and reports.

"Do you have a moment?" Kahn asked as knocked on the door side.

"Ah, you're awake. How was the night?" asked Elanev as he chuckled a bit.

"Best sleep I had in this life." Kahn smiled and laughed.

"So what are you doing?" he asked.

"Nothing much. Just doing some run-ins on the profits and future consignments. Damn, it's not easy at all. Segregating everything based on their type and dates is a pain. No wonder my old man left it all to me and assumed the command of shipping the materials." Elanev let out a sigh as he looked at the files and documents on his desk. This was just the beginning; there'd be piles of these things later during the day.

"Need any help?" asked Kahn.

"Do you even know how to read?" asked Elanve.

"Yeah, I have formal education. My uncle always made sure that I had enough knowledge about everything that can save me from being conned. Haha" Kahn chucked.

"Good. I on the other hand had to learn it all because I had to inherit the family business. Otherwise I'd be a scholar roaming the world now, seeking and learning different places, their knowledge and culture. Only if things were different." Elanev said regrettably as he started imagining the different life.

"Well, we gotta make do with what we have." Kahn said as he started helping out in sorting the ledgers.

He was an Accountant in his previous life so knew how to organize the records with their uses and priority. This surprised Elanev as he was still finding it hard to do it all efficiently. It had barely been a month since he started working in the merchant enterprise his father created.

Till now, all his youth went into studying and lazing around so he yet had to grasp the things related to the profession.
