My Cousin Is Becoming A Legend

Our family is in decline.
My favorite cousin went out to work at the age of fifteen.
Ten years later, he returned to the village in embarrassment.
He said that he had fought with General Tullius. In the end, although the entire army was wiped out, he survived by luck.
But we only think he is a deserter, how could he have such glory.
He said that he once formed a mercenary group, but in the end, although it was severely damaged by extraordinary beings and disbanded, he survived by luck.
But we only think that he is a despicable bandit, and we don’t know what bad things he has done outside.
He said that he once did a big business in the city of Drikli. Although he was intercepted by the nobles in the end, he survived by luck.
But we only think that he is a moneylender, and we are lucky that he was not executed. How dare we insult the reputation of the nobles again.
In short, my cousin is what that relative calls a good-for-nothing waste.
He is glib and ambitious, and it seems that he will rot like this for the rest of his life.
But there have been some changes in him recently.
My cousin... seems to be becoming a legend.
