Being a bottom feeder in society is an unpleasant experience.

That's how Kiro felt after being left for dead in a back alley. Abandoned and disappointed by the 'work hard' ethic his parents left for him.

'At least the heavens are weeping for me.'	As the light from his eyes faded, he declared as the last act of defiance.

He awoke in a room he hadn't seen in ten years. Whether it was due to sheer luck or divine intervention, he was grateful.

'Through the VR game, Asgard, I'll become filthy rich in this life time.'


Kiro was blissfully unaware that his return was a cry for something greater, for the underlying threats that hovered over his world.

She waited by the door for him to speak. He took out a snack bar and motioned for her to take a seat. So she did. She was a bit hungry, so she sat and ate the chocolate. She didn't say anything.


'She just woke up, but she looks really good,' Kiro thought, fascinated. Apart from his sister he'd never seen a girl unprepared, even his mother woke up so early that he missed her most mornings. So this was new territory for him. 


They both didn't say anything. They just sat in silence. Kiro contemplated on what he should say, he didn't want to make her angrier than she already was, he was choosing his words carefully. 


"Look, I'm sorry," he finally said, though he felt it was a very weak apology. 


She played dumb, she was really going to make him say everything. She didn't think they were all that close, but she wanted them to be. She understood his situation but she also couldn't stop being mad at how he was towards her.
