Shit! " A young man looked at the sky and muttered as the rain fell kept falling down. He detested the rainy day in particular because it made moving extremely difficult and he did not like the way it felt.
Though it was a little far from here, he made his way back to his apartment swiftly because he could run well. He arrived at his apartment after running for half an hour, and despite not stopping to rest, he did not appear exhausted.
It was a small apartment with limited privacy and space. He looked in the mirror, and his appearance was quite ordinary. He had pale skin and a typical Asian face. He was around 170 cm tall, which is shorter than the average man.
He lived in the country known as the United Asia. Gates opened 60 years ago, and monsters invaded, taking many lives and changing the landscape forever. China was annexed in half and no empire lasted forever, as were Japan and Korea, so the survivors banded together to form a nation. Although there were many countries in Asia, the United Asia remained the largest and the most advanced. The current population of United Asia was around 1 billion, and humans' ability to survive was unimaginable.
" Sigh! " A young man looked at the mirror and sighed. He did not have a name, so he named himself Zero, which became his official government name. It was foolish of him to name himself Zero, but there were no adults to guide him. He grew up in an orphanage, like many other children, and his life was hard.
He dropped out of high school and to focus to become a gangster, collecting debts and beating people for money. He did alcohol and prostitution, and his life was bound to self-destruction.
His rational mind whispered, and he decided to return to high school at the age of 19, when many others were attending college.
He took a shower and dressed in the school uniform, which looked very different depending on the school. He received a scholarship to an elite school and was smart enough not to use drugs. He wore black trousers and a blue school blazer with a blue neck tie, representing his second year.
He left his apartment at 6 a.m. because he needed to catch the bus to school, which was quite far away. No one in his high school knew he was a gangster or a Yakuza member; he had a large tattoo on his chest representing his rank and the Clan he represented.
After all, he just wanted to spend a very quiet school life. He began as a small gang member after his orphanage's seniors encouraged him to join the gang. One of the main reasons was that he did not want to be a victim of the pedo orphanage's director.
He began drinking alcohol when he was seven years old and had his first intercourse at the age of eleven. He lost his virginity to a 30-year-old pedo, and he was fortunate that he became her favorite toy. That woman was also killed in the world where superhumans and might created the world, so he decided to become a proper gangster and beat both females and males, determined to control his fate with his hands.
He was fortunate, and fate favored those who prepared; he rose to the position of small leader in a district, with approximately 20 gangsters under him; he began to make a lot of money; and he was not a victim, but rather a winner of misery.
" 6:30 am! The bus is always late. Should I beat the bus driver ? " He muttered while standing at the bus station which was around 25 minutes walk from his apartment.
" Yeah! This is the third time within a week so I should. " Zero whispered as he looked at the watch and after a few minutes later the bus arrived, he looked at the bus's driver appearance carefully and he nodded with a smile.
' Breaking a leg is enough! ' Zero sat down on the seat and he decided to get some sleep.
After riding the bus for an hour, he reached the school at 7:45 am and there were students like him who wore the same clothes and most of them came with their own expensive cars and there were like poor students who came with bus.
" Oh! Z, good Morning " a large dude who looked like a body-bodybuilder came up to him and pat him shoulders. His height was around 200 cm and he was a giant.
" Good Morning ! Hide" A smile formed on Zero's face and greeted him back.
" You always look unhappy whenever I see you. " Hide said with a smile and he was quite energetic person with a large smile.
" maybe. " Zero shrugged and Hide immediately said
"You do not have to be so cold. I am very sad," Hide stated loudly and with a big smile.
" Oh! Today is Special Subject day, right ? " Zero said as he looked very unhappy when he remembered today's subject.
" Yeah! I'm very excited. "
' Fuck! I only have two hours of sleep, and I might die at this rate.' Zero sighed and looked at the blue sky, hoping to find a place to sleep.
