Synopsis

Chapter 0: Prologue

He became an orphan very early in his life due to a calamitous

tragedy.

Barely at the tender age of 7, when it would only be normal to

look for his mom's guidance whenever something vexed him, he

had to go to an orphanage because none of his relatives wanted

to take him in.

The orphanage's director wasn't human trash that treated

children like dirt but at the same time wasn't a sparkling

example of how to be a nice person, either.

Wanting to leave such an orphanage as soon as possible, he

found a job and started working right after graduating from the

Elementary School. While resembling a very thin stick, thanks

to his tall-for-his-age height, convincingly lying about how old

he actually was proved to be rather easy. Of course, on that one

occasion his lies were exposed, he got chased away from the

a workplace without receiving a paycheque, but well, that was to

be expected.

Regardless, he continued to work tirelessly during the night

and slept in the Middle School during the daytime, and this was

how he lived his early life.

Around this time, he stopped utilizing the bed in the

orphanage as well. Honestly, he found it more comfortable to

sleep in the school's infirmary, or among the wary gazes of the

homeless occupying the subway station.

He couldn't be sure, but maybe the reason for his height

remaining the same from 6th grade in Elementary School

probably had something to do with this unhealthy lifestyle.

Whatever the case may have been, through all the rough and

tumble, he succeeded in becoming completely independent

upon turning 18.

4 years of back-breaking labor after that netted a total of

$8750 which sort of enabled him to rent out a single room for

himself.

Other people might have found this space a seriously tight fit,

but for him, it was the safest and most comfortable place to put

his feet up and take it easy.

And within this comfortable environment, his own home, he

allowed himself to have a dream of a better future.

If it was under any other "normal" circumstances, he

would've surely achieved that idyllic life he had dreamt of in the

near future.
