"Nice."-Jack
Jack looked at the finished journal entry that he procrastinated on for a week It read very sloppily but it achieved its goal of it being an anchor for the day Jack wrote it in.
It read:
'My house got burned down, but I moved in the church's residence with Aldric.'
'My lessons went well, I learned a lot about Instability from Victor.'
'I finished an artifact ring that makes me stronger, but it has some side effects.'
'I also moved in from the church's residence to Victor's mansion, and after this I will have to move into the count's Mansion as an Elite Mercenary.'
'I didn't do much in the wasteland, the skeletons are learning from me just as before.'
'I'm emotionally tired, everything feels the same.'
'One of the things about this ring is the fact that it increased my desires, I don't want to stare at Victor's granddaughter or at least I think she is, with those desires!'
'Especially after I heard her pitiful story from Victor.'
'I no longer have any instability stored, so I can't go with the plan of making another ring to suppress it.'
'Taking it off is a no go, since it will make me sick and nauseous if I keep taking it on and off all the time.'
'I just hope that we won't see each other until the strength increase plateaus.'
This should be good enough for today, the good thing is that I wrote it.
Jack placed the paper down and stretched a little.
One a day, even if its sloppy, it's not like anyone else is going to read it.
Jack looked around with nothing to do, it was late at night but his bath was still being prepared.
There were two bathhouses in the mansion, one for each gender but the first one being prepared was the woman's bath since Salvation(T2) as the sole young lady currently in the house took priority since she was to sleep early, it was a noble's daughter responsibility to sleep well at night as to maintain her beauty.
Jack exhaled as he looked around, his room was glamorous the walls had exquisite blue patterns on them, his bed sheets and curtains was also blue, there were full windows towards the entry way letting in the moonlight.
I barely arrived in this world and I already went from poor to privileged…
Social connections are scary.
A knock on the door.
"Sir. The bathhouse was prepared."-Maid behind the door
So soon? So far Victor was the one informed first, and he would take me to the baths with him…
When did I became used to bathing with another dude?
In this world there wasn't a private bath culture apart from people of different classes bathing separately, nakedness was perceived less shameful and more like something young people do.
This was mostly in the south, in the north nakedness was less common specifically in the winter since there nakedness means freezing to death.
"Did something happen with Victor?"-Jack
"No sir. He is busy and ordered us to inform you directly."-Maid behind the door
"I'll head to the bathhouses by myself then."
Jack took his pajamas that were left on the bed by one of the maids earlier that day and headed to the Bathhouse.
If I bathe fast I can head to the wasteland early, and maybe the male servants will get to bathe in warmer water today.
While it was common for master and servant to bathe in completely different environment Victor allowed the temporary servants to bathe in the same room after he bathed in, it was a show of lack of discrimination it gained him the trust of the servants almost immediately, and due to his high social standing he couldn't be frowned upon for doing this.
But he didn't allow for the women bathhouse since it was where Salvation bathed, so the female servants and male servants had to use the same bathhouse, not that they minded, just bathing in such environment was to be envied.
After Jack bathed and washed his hair he returned to his room refreshed and went to sleep.
