Chapter 2 - Daily life

I found myself a job after looking so long for one.

But I have been having trouble at the counter so the manager transferred me to stocking up the shelves.

This job required less socializing than the last one so it is more favorable for me.

I have had no problems since I was transferred into stocking up the shelves instead of in the counter.

I also bought an apartment earlier this week so I finally have a home.

Although it isn't much, it's enough for myself so I guess it will do for now.

I also have been trying to learn how to cook. It was my first time cooking eggs and I messed up 4 times until I got it right in my 5th try.

Although I have been cooking only eggs until now, I should try microwaved foods although they are a bit expensive for me.

Although I didn't go to high school, I still knew high school level knowledge since I was always reading and studying at the orphanage library.

But people usually start at 16 years old and graduate high school at 20 years old although in some other cities you graduate even earlier.

The world's delicate balance had been completely tipped over to the majin's favor so most of the population's quality of life has been diminishing every year.

Even if the majin had weak powers, it still had superhuman strength so a normal human could never be equal to a majin.

The once wealthy and powerful have now become obsolete ever since the majins had started becoming the government.

The overall power majins had over japan is vast since there are so many of them in Japan.

The metropolitan area where I live is in ruins, the bullet train tracks have collapsed and the skyscrapers were all damaged by the majin fights that had occurred.

Majins have been both a curse and blessing to Japan, it caused ruin and increased its power.

"Ah..."

My microwavable food has finished so it's almost time for me to eat.

But I'd like to find out why we had acquired these strange powers.

Some other people have also been investigating but they haven't gotten any leads so they gave up.

But for the sake of my parents, I would find out why we got these powers since it was the reason my parents were ever targeted and killed in the first place.

If I had more connections, I would certainly get one step closer to finding out my parents' killers and the reason why we gained power.

Gaining connections would be hard since I have absolutely no idea how to socialize.

Thinking about it, there was an organization that formed a few years ago that had a goal to capture criminals.

If I were to join that organization, I would get chances to meet some people who know about my parents.

But ever since majins had become basically the government, people have started calling Japan as the Majin Kingdom.

Japan did have a monarchy, although now that monarchy has been more prominent with the new dynasty of majin royalty.

The old monarchy had been overthrown and replaced with a powerful majin.

The new king of Japan is Sora Tsutsumi.

Known to have unmatched skills and influence...And one of the suspects that might have been one of the 5 leaders that killed my parents that night.

Although my memories are vague that night, I had seen someone floating in the air, just like Sora Tsutsumi's power of flight.

If I prove that he was really one of the people who had killed my parents, I could get one step closer to avenging my parents.
