D-1460 Until Discharge.

Today marked exactly four years until my discharge.

Let me emphasize that again—four years left.

And what that meant was…

“XX, I got promoted…?”

Today, I was officially promoted to senior private.

In this miserable, godforsaken place, I had finally made it past the halfway point of my service. If I thought about it that way, my survival odds had just skyrocketed. That alone was enough to bring tears to my eyes.

Ha, so this is what a taste of social mobility feels like…@@novelbin@@

Of course, I knew that with my new rank, there’d be a fresh batch of responsibilities waiting for me. But even so, I was happy!

“Karon.”

“Ah, Salvia! Congratulations on your promotion!”

Karon spotted me and came running over, his face lighting up with a bright smile. I patted him on the shoulder before asking about Aquila.

“Have you seen Aquila? He said he was stopping by the barracks, but he’s taking forever.”

“Oh! He was talking with Senior Isina earlier!”

“Hm, thanks.”

These days, my life was nothing short of perfect.
