It was the day when Felix, who after the end of his college finally succeeded in getting the useless certificate of degree in his studies of Communications, and had to start his job at a call center nearby.
Well, it can't be helped as he was one of the many orphans staying at the Prospects Orphanage, where even food was hardly given to the always-growing children.
So there was hardly anyone getting into a prestigious college for better education unless they got a scholarship.
Taking care of oneself was the basic skill that the kids needed at any orphanage for them to survive in this harsh world unless they were lucky enough to be adopted.
A thing that Felix learned because he became used to taking care of himself.
Walking down the pavement of the road with one hand carrying his suitcase, and the other hand busy searching the way to his future workplace in the maps on his smartphone, Felix gasped at how hot the climate was.
"Man, why is the sun especially hot today? Is it telling me to stay at home and not go to work by burning me up?"
As he blew some air at the gap near the neck of his shirt, Felix couldn't help but think about how his whole life had gone and had come to this.
As far as he remembers, he was always at the orphanage and had no recollection of what could be a family.
Well even though he didn't have any family, the kids and nuns at the orphanage gave him much love for him to never wish for something more.
Among the kids at the orphanage, he was the most average one.
Some were good at studies and some at sports, while all he did was surf the net for anime, web novels, and games.
So a bit ashamed of what he was doing, Felix gave his best in studying and somewhat got passable marks in school before getting himself into college to study BA in Communications which was as per his concern the perfect degree for him, as he was not good with studies and also too poor to afford those expensive but good education.
That made him more ordinary and average than he previously was.
Now that he had finally completed his studies, and after getting some luck with his job interview, Felix decided to give his new job the best he could and at last, try contributing to the orphanage with some small donations.
"Ahh! Why are the cars so slow, hurry up I got a job to do."
Jogging in the same place, Felix cursed seeing as how he was getting late to his work.
He looked at his third-hand watch that at least showed the correct time and started panicking at how late he could be.
"Am I going get scolded on the first day of my work?....or at worst fired because I'm not fit to be an employee at their company? Ughh! I better stay positive and not wish for my own downfall."
Somewhat stressed and unhappy, Felix turned away from the unstoppable trafiic and looked at the sky as he thought,
'Well, after living an average life and also being an ordinary person, I don't think I'll ever have a happy life that I can enjoy.'
The traffic lights turned green and our protagonist took his steps crossing the road when suddenly his suitcase felt somewhat empty.
'Huh?'
Stopping in the middle of the road, he looked down to see that his documents and files were all on the ground; and the button of the case that should have kept it all safe was slowly rolling down across the road.
His face scrunched up in annoyance looking at the mess.
"Oh Damn!! Is this for real?? How can I be so unlucky for doing this on the first day at my job when I'm also being late? It must have been a scam when that suspicious guy was selling a nice suitcase for such a cheap price."
Felix thought of the guy with silver teeth, who had his hands clasped together selling the bunch of bags with a cheap smile on his face while bragging about how they were made by first-class tailors.
He couldn't help but gnash his teeth and curse that scammer.
"Just you wait, the next time I see you I'll make sure to break those teeth of yours and make a selling from them."
Bending down to pick up his belongings from the ground, he started collecting them under the horns of the vehicles and the non-stop traffic.
After finally picking them up, he stood in the middle of the road when suddenly a loud horn made him turn towards the source.
'HONK!! HONK!!'
And there he saw it, a large truck that seemed too old to be driven and might break apart at any moment.
But the thing that made him widen his eyes was that the forsaken truck was rushing straight toward him almost making him pee in his pants.
'Ahh, this must be the Legendary Truck-kun that sends isekai aspirants to their desired worlds.'
Knowing that the truck was at a speed that he couldn't escape from, Felix smiled sadly as he gave up on running away and decided to do something that made the public around him scream in horror.
'Well, my life was not that satisfying anyways, at most average. The only regret I may have is that I cannot give back to the people who made my life somewhat good. And if there was a next life, I hope I can be content and enjoy it without holding back.'
The truck drifted on the road, turning sideways, but it didn't change it's direction as it headed right onwards to the frozen Felix.
'Also, somebody please delete my computer's history...sigh.'
Closing his eyes as he didn't want to look at the horrified driver from the truck's window who was pressing the broken brakes of the old truck, Felix made the famous Titanic pose that 'Rose' did, by raising his arms and making himself a T-figure.
Many people at the scene took out their smartphones to capture the shocking yet artistic moment. A guy wearing an anime t-shirt on the side was rendered speechless as he gawked with envy.
The world turned silent, except for the screeching of the truck and the clicking of photos.
And at long last, the Legendary cliche of a truck crashing into an average pathetic young man took place on this fateful day.
"CRASHHH!!"....."thud".
