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.

After a day full of emotional turmoil it was time for the boys to go back to the academy. Freya promised to take care of Kiyoko, so Hiro was a bit comfortable leaving his mother behind.

"Are you gonna tell Saanvi?" Kiro asked as they stepped out of the train.

"I mean it's impossible to tell her without revealing too much." He pondered, he hadn't thought about telling anyone about his father.

"You can just tell her what you told your mum, I don't know if you can really keep that from her without creating distance between the two of you."

"Who are you and what have you done with my best friend? The Ki I know sucks at this love thing," he asked seriously shocked. "But she'd see right through me. She's too smart."

"She'll see right through you either way, girls can sniff out secrets." Ishaan offered his own advice.
