Chapter 1 - Prologue

My name is Hoshi Hideyoshi, my first names in Japanese mean star and my last name mean excellence, esteem and good luck.

I was born on St. Patrick's Day.

My name and birthdate always seemed inappropriate because I never felt lucky.

I am a 29-year-old miserable, unhealthy, and overworked software developer.

I am like many other peons work for a large corporation.

I specifically work on mobile development at my job as a senior developer.

Many of my coworkers got sick because of the flu, leaving me and a few others most of the work.

Because of a project deadline approaching, I and a few others have to work into the late night.

I stretched my arms and took a glance at the clock and noticed it getting late and decided to pack up and leave.

As I was leaving, I was thinking about my current situation.

I didn't enjoy what I was doing for a career and regret not pursuing a career as a chef, something I would enjoy.

I had no close friends and felt I should have attempted to get some.

I had no girlfriend or wife waiting for me at home and scorn myself for not reaching out when I had a chance in the past.

I felt trapped, and that it was too late to change anything, that a change now wouldn't make a big difference.

Just as I got outside my workplace, I noticed a couple holding hands walking across the street.

The couple had smiles on their faces, chatting with each other.

They seem to have a happy, fulfilling and successful life based on their expensive-looking clothing.

I got jealous for a slight moment.

Then I gained an epiphany; My inability to take risks causes me most of my problems.

It prevented me from following my dream.

I wanted to become a world-famous chef but believed that it was unrealistic, and only a few succeeded.

I was not happy because I was lonely.

I never put in the effort to make close friends due to my family situation or get a girlfriend because I feared rejection.

I started crying, heavy with emotions.

I let out a small moan as I wiped my tears and noticed a shooting star in the sky.

I wished upon that star for a second chance, a chance to live happily and fulfil my dream.

I want to become a world-famous chef.

I want close friends that would cheer me up whenever I was down.

I want a sexy girlfriend that would later become my loving wife and the mother of my children.

After it disappeared into the horizon, I stood there a moment before heading home.

Once I got home, I cheered myself up by watching some anime.

After my little anime marathon, I went to bed and hoped the next day would be better.
