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.

The Earth After Rebirth

Hubris covered the distance of a kilometre in under a second. They didn't encounter a single monster on their way. The closer they got the thicker and more suffocating the aura was. One thing that was great about reaching the peak was, although the road was still treacherous, it was at least level.

Kiro could see a boulder at a distance. It was blocking their path. He was about ready to blast it open when Hubris skidded into a stop.

Now that he was close to inspect it, he realised they stood in front of a cave-like opening. Except the opening was closed by a big boulder. A poor attempt to hide the mouth of the cave.

Kiro leapt off Hubris, he reached the boulder while walking cautiously as not to envoke any traps or possibly wake up the monster that exuded the aura they'd been sensing since entering Sun's mountain.

He carefully inspected the boulder, using vibrational sense. For the first time ever, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
