THE MERCENARY.

Day 1,701, 21:55 • Published in Pakistan Serbia • by Shin Gouki

Being hired as a mercenary is an experience set apart from any another. One is forced to keep his patriotism aside and to fight without a cause, the only rational justification being profit. I too fought as a mercenary, but neither for Gold nor for the Weapons. My sheer joy in fighting for this resistance was to be a part of something, to quench the thirst of my curiosity and to fulfill my appetite for destruction. eRepublik is a world that is evolving day by day. The system moving towards a world where numerical strength out powers the courage of an individual. Alliances are made based on common goals and common enemies. And lastly, the world brought together into an arena without the restrictions of linguistics, religion, ethnicity and culture. The mercenary is a tool, that may seem unethical to some, but essential to others. Regions are saved and lost thanks to the mercenary, a hero to one and a villain to another. We mustn't blame this part and aspect of eRepublik. Some of us feel emotional as our efforts go to waste thanks to these warriors and plunderers. In my personal opinion, the balance of power is maintained and a fair chance is given to the smaller fish of the sea. This write-up is dedicated to the super powers that are available to be hired. Becoming a mercenary taught me what it feels like to help the weak. It enabled me to see some good in an act which is generally considered bad. It also helped me make a new friend.
