System vs Rebirth

In a certain city, a robust middle-aged man was walking in the city while humming.

"Mhm, hum, hum." The middle-aged man seemed to be enjoying his walk. He was also observing the locations of the buildings in the area.

"Life is good." The middle-aged man nodded in approval. He continued for another thirty minutes before he eventually reached a two-story building.

When he opened the door, he was greeted with a lot of tools for construction such as hammers, axes, saws, and others.

"Welcome, Sir Douglas. Are you done with your walk today?" A young receptionist smiled at him.

"Oh, Jack. You're already up?" The middle-aged man, who was called Douglas, smiled, watching the young man carrying the tools around as though he was displaying them on the shelves.

"Of course. I don't know why, but I feel like something good is going to happen today. So, I'm setting up the shop as quickly as possible."

"Is that so? Maybe we're expecting the same thing. I don't know why, but I feel energized today." Douglas chuckled, not thinking much about it. "In any case, just open the shop as usual."

"Understood." Jack nodded in agreement as he continued moving things around.

However, their peaceful morning was suddenly disturbed when a man suddenly slammed their door open.

*Bang!*

The sound was so loud that it startled both of them.

"I need one hundred saws and one hundred hammers right away!" The man shouted in an authoritative tone, looking down at them.

Jack couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows while Douglas put on his smile and said, "Welcome, Mr. Raffles."

"So, you're here, you idiot old man." The man snorted, staring at Douglas as if he was a fly.

Jack looked angry because the man looked down on Douglas, but he couldn't do anything. There was a reason why the man could actually look down on them.

"Of course. Since you're here to make a purchase this big, then I should be the one welcoming you." Douglas smiled. "Besides, you're the butler of the city lord, so how could I let anyone serve you?"
