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 vibrating on his leg made him jump with fear. Realizing it was just a phone, he calmed his nerves.

"Man, that was great. I can still feel my blood pumping!" Kiro said attempting to take his phone out of his pocket.

"We should absolutely do more things like that!" Nikolai commented excitedly.

He looked at the screen and sure enough, it was his mum calling. He hadn't talked to her in months, of course that was a time only he experienced. He walked a bit further away from the rest and answered the call.

"Mum, Hi, what's up? Are you guys okay?" He asked concerned.

"Yes, thanks to you, we're managing well. You never call Ki, but you promised." She pouted.

"I'm busy with work, I'm coming back from work right now! I'll call more I promise." He could tell the excuses fell on deaf ears.

The background was very noisy. His little sister was clearly playing with someone.

"Loki is playing with Alora?" He asked a bit surprised.
