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

Freya sat her son down. She didn't know how to go about asking what she was going to ask. It wasn't exactly a comfortable conversation for her, she should be the provider after all.

"Mum, you're freaking me out, say something already." Kiro was no longer sure what to think.

"Loki will be starting school soon, I haven't called to arrange things for him. Unlike yours, the schools around here require students to live in the dorms."

"Uh, so?" Kiro didn't understand where she was getting at.

"As you know, or may not have known, LJ turns 13 too next year. Wouldn't it be awkward if she was home schooled while Loki went to a proper school?"

"Oh, I understand. But mum, is this really something you even needed to get permission for?" Kiro's mind had travelled to thinking something was wrong with the pregnancy or something. He sighed in relief.

"The tuition isn't exactly cheap..."
