prologue

third person pow:

Akihiro Yamada, currently a recent undergraduate who has yet to attend university. He grew up in a small orphanage and has no memories of his parents as they had left this world shortly after his birth, due to having no other close relatives, he was left to the orphanage. Akihiro has changed out many houses and schools but at the end never stayed in one place for long as none of the families that picked him up were the normal kind which every orphan desires to meet. Rather most of them only desired the money they would get monthly as a help to raise the orphan, or even worse, they would take the kid in as a free worker. 

Yamada has gone through many different adversities during his life, he got to know of the harshness of the world earlier than everyone else which aided in creating his rather eccentric personality. It couldn't be said that his personality was bad, rather he just wasn't the person who easily trusts others due to his life experience and he preferred to do things in his own way, never afraid to voice out his opinion but also strangely skilled in socialization and manipulation. He has always been very hardworking when it came to studying as he knew that in their age and day, and even just generally, information would always remain as one of the most lethal weapons and a most powerful tool.

He left the orphanage at 15, earliest age allowed to legally live independently. With never before seen persistence and a blatant demonstration of his skills he had managed to quickly secure a job at one of the companies as a programmer and database manager. Of course it didn't come neither easy nor quickly, he had to go through a harsh battle both against his employer and the life itself . he had quite good reputation there as he was very talented and always did his job without allowing himself to make even a single mistake.

But as it is known, a good reputation and high popularity isn't always a good thing. One day when he was heading back to his small apartment after a long evening of work, he felt a wave of killing intent behind him, this wasn't his first time, his life experiences made it possible for him to differentiate between normal greed or resentment from an actual killing intent. 

 He was about to turn around and see who it was, possibly even try to fight back, when he heard a loud bang and immediately afterwards felt a sharp piercing pain in his chest. Utilizing all of the bits of power that was left in his body, he still managed to look back at the face of the person who so cowardly backstabbed him. That person was wearing a black mask together with a cap but Akihiro was still able to easily recognize him, it was one of the people that worked in the same company where he did. 

He smiled wryly mocking himself, he didn't as much predict the situation as much as he was anticipating it. After some time of hard work he was already qualified to deal with some important tasks in the company, it was very possible for there to be a planted spy in the company who would love to get his position. The feeling of helplessness and anger towards both himself and the situation overwhelmed Yamada as he felt his eyes closing. The only thing he could see next was pitch darkness.
