Norris was a Minotaur. Previously, he had always lived on the edge of the Elf Forest, relying on occasionally taking on a few jobs like helping the Elves mine to scrape by.
Unfortunately, the Elves were a race that preferred living in peace with nature. Even though there were quite a few mineral resources in the Elf Forest, aside from what they used themselves, the Elves didn't sell them to the outside world, so the annual mining demand wasn't large.
And the heterogeneous races living on the edge of the Elf Forest weren't just their Minotaurs. The Dwarves had much finer mining and forging techniques than their Minotaurs, and their personalities were also more enthusiastic and tactful than their Minotaurs. Therefore, Norris frequently failed to compete for jobs, normally going hungry as often as he was full.
