Afternoon.

Klein was an ordinary adult man 21 Years Old, Black hair with a average body and facial structure, Klein likes to read novels,manwha even comics. He works at a convenient store at Tokyo every day on afternoon. Klein need money for food and to take care of his 12 yrs old younger sister. The two of them is living in a small apartment but its good for the both of them, Klein works hard every day for her little sister Lara and himself to live. Lara a Delicate, pale white, 12 year old girl, Black hair like his brother Klein and a gorgeous looking girl.

Someday before, the day his parents got divorce and their parents just left the two of them without even leaving something like money for them or things, Klein endured all the pain from the past and decided to work hard to give Lara his sister a good future.

Evening comes, Klein headed back to their small apartment. The apartment was small, a humble space with cracked walls and faded furniture. But for Klien and Lara, it was all they had. The kitchen was little more than a stove and a worn-out sink, but they made do with what they could. The two of them, sharing a single bed, found comfort in each other's presence, the soft murmur of their voices the only real warmth in the cold apartment. Despite the emptiness left by their parents, the place was theirs — a small patch of refuge in a world that had taken so much from them.

"Brother ive been waiting for too long, Im...hungry" Lara said while hugging Klein, her voice soft. "Okay, sorry for the long wait Lara, I will cook your favorite...Ramen!" He said with a smile in his face. "Woahh, Ramen! Your the best brother..!" Lara replied with smile and excitement on her face.

Few Minutes Later*

"Dinner is ready!" Klein shouted, his voice loud. "Smells Good!" Lara said with a hungry face

"Wait lets pray first Lara, You always forget that." Klein said with a serious face.-_-

"Hmpph..Finee" She replied. "Okay let's dig in!" Klein said with a loud and a happy voice. "Wahh im full now, Thanks for the meal!" Lara said, She pushed the plate. feeling full.

After eating, Both of them decided to go to bed and sleep. The bed is quite big with white sheets and pillows and is good for the both of them. "Brother i really missed mom and dad."Lara said, a quite ache settled in her chest. "Don't worry Lara, We will see them someday" Klein replied his voice firm.

"Goodnight Lara, Have a sweet dreams"

"Goodnight..Brother."

Morning comes, The sound of the cars, people talking next door, The sound of the alarm clock. Klein soon wakes up and then he cooked some food for her sister, After cooking Klein wakes Lara up and said"Lara..lara wake up, im going to work now." Klein said, his voice firm. "But why brother you work every afternoon right?" Lara replied while yawning. "Well they need me right now at work,But.. i will be back at afternoon." Klein said with a smile in his face.

Klein step outside the small apartment, And see the outside view–Tall skyscrapers structures, Bunch of cars in the asphalt roads, People doing their activities, Streets full of peoples,"Tokyo sure is a big place as always" Klein whisper to himself.

Klein walk through the crowded streets, then goes to a familiar path to the convenience store where he worked at as a cashier. The store structure had a cement that is painted color white, the roof is flat and painted color black, the store is most likely transparent glass. Inside the storewas brightly lit, its shelves packed with snacks, instant noodles, and bottled drinks. The warm aroma of steamed buns mixed with the hum of refrigerators along the back wall. Near the counter, magazines and impulse buys like gum and mints were neatly arranged, while the soft beep of the scanner and the whoosh of automatic doors filled the air.

Klein went inside the store.

"Good Morning Klein!" A boy greeted him with a big smile named Clinton, Yellow hair, Average body and facial structure. "Morning!" Klein replied, his voice firm.

Klein wore the outfit that was given to him for his role as a cashier. Green cap and a formal green shirt.

After his shift was over he went back to their small apartment but before heading back, Klein bought sushi for their lunch and some candy. After buying Klein then headed back to their apartment.

"Lara im home!" Klein shouted, his voice loud

"Welcome back brother!" Lara hugs Klein tightly.

"Guess whats for lunch." Klein said, smiling.

"What..? She replied, her voic firm.

"Its...., Sushi!" Klein said happily.

"Wahh, sushi!!.." Lara replied with excitement.

" Did you forget again lara?." He said, his voice serios.

"I know brother..Lets pray first." Lara replied. After praying the both of them slowly eating while talking. Klien reached for another piece of sushi, savoring the fresh taste of salmon, when the table jolted unexpectedly. The soy sauce dish tipped over, spilling onto the wooden surface. Across from him, Lara froze mid-bite, her wide eyes meeting his.

"Klien… what's happening?" she whispered, her voice trembling.

Before he could respond, the ground shook violently, sending their chopsticks clattering to the floor. Plates slid dangerously close to the edge of the table, and the hanging lantern above swayed wildly.

"Lara, get down!" Klien shouted, grabbing her arm and pulling her under the table as the vibrations grew stronger. The muffled sound of breaking glass and distant car alarms filled the air, a chaotic symphony that made his heart pound.

After a moment the shaking stopped, both of them went outside, Klein was stunned by what he has seen. The sky unexpectedly turn black then a second it went back to normal and suddenly the sky was slowly getting sliced in half and then forming a triangular hole . Inside in that hole, there was a shadowy creature and an unknown living thinks coming out from the hole and spreading all over the world,

"Everyone run." Someone shouted, his voice trembling.

The screaming of the people, shadowy creatures spreading in the streets, bloods even dead bodies in the asphalt road within just a minute.

"Brother whats happening?" Lara said, her voice crack.

"Dont worry Lara just stick with me oka-" Before Klein can continue speaking, An unknown voice reverberated in the mind of every living being, echoing throughout the entire world.

""Greetings to all weaklings who resemble mere pebbles in this vast world. This is your punishment from the goddess for your greed, disrespect, and cruelty. To survive in this ruined world, the goddess has granted you a system. It will appear before you, and you will soon hear a voice in your mind saying something like: Ding. Initializing... and so on.

That is all. Your task is to survive and reach the hole in the sky to find the glowing crystal that is resembles spikes. However, it will not be easy for you, for you are nothing more than pebbles in the grand scheme of things. Now, prove your worth to the goddess." An unknown voice spoke, the voice was immense and cold.
