Sorry, I died midway. I was kind of stock piling chapters first.
But anyway, please vote! I'll add extra chapter at 100 Power Stones!

Early in the morning, the unwelcome sound of the alarm clock rang through Sora and Shiro's room.
For a full minute, it never stopped, to the point it's feels like a mental torture than an alarm for waking up.
Sora finally couldn't take it anymore, he stood up with bloodshot in his eyes, and glared at the alarm clock like it murdered his entire bloodline.
He gripped it hard using his entire strength, which isn't much considering he's built like a twig and is a total shut-in who hasn't exercised in his entire life.
Without hesitation, he threw it hard outside the window, and to everyone's surprise, it got wrecked beyond recognition, considering it was thrown at a very high altitude.
Now that dreadful sound disappeared, Sora couldn't understand why humanity created such an evil device.
It shouldn't have existed!
Still, looking back at his life before he would never have such luxury such as destroying an alarm clock.
His phone usually does that for him; after all, why bother buying such pointless items when his phone can do its work?
Sora could never understand before, but now, after experiencing a life of someone who has financial freedom.
He could now understand why they buy things like this despite having a phone, it's simply something you can buy without much of a thought.
With money on hand, it's very easy to buy something that you don't need, especially things that aren't quite important, but still have their own utility.
For example, the earbuds, something he simply could not afford without thinking about what's for dinner.
But now, it's something he bought in pairs.
Anyway, he quickly adapted to this middle-class life.
Then he looked at his sister; Shiro was still sleeping soundly without a hint of disturbance.
Even with that mental pollution sounds that the ex-alarm clock made, it failed to make a slight twitch in his sister's sleeping time.
He reckons that even if there's a huge earthquake, she wouldn't budge at all.
It is probably thanks to the habit she formed after pulling an all-nighter almost every single day, and when her body is pushed to its limit, her hibernation switch flips immediately.
No matter what happens outside, it won't do a thing to her as long as she finishes 'charging'.
Yesterday- no, it's actually today, about 3 hours ago- they slept after pulling an all-nighter from farming in the game they are both playing.
Even as students, it doesn't matter; it's simply something they do every day. In fact, compared to their prior schedule, this was nothing.
In fact, he felt like he'd been spoiled by his current lifestyle; now he could barely stay awake for an entire day, whereas before he could stay awake for an entire week without a problem.
Now with only 3 hours of sleep, it was given why he's in such an irrational mood, even if he's aware that it's his fault to begin with.
Then another alarm rang again, and his already bad mood became even worse, as he was about to throw whatever was making that sound.
Sora saw that it was his phone and the alarm was for a daily sign-in reward from a game he likes.
Just like that, his previous irritation disappeared like the dust in the air, and he immediately locked in.
His daily sign-in rewards definitely couldn't be skipped; even if the rewards are barebones, what matters is the satisfaction of perfect attendance in the sign-in.
Something he can't do the same with his school attendance; to be fair, he loves games more than reality, and that has never changed,d even if he managed to acquire a friend.
His sister also shared this statement.
He's a firm believer in No Game No Life (A/N: Invincible Title Flash!)
As if she has an inbuilt detector, Shiro woke up from the grave like Undertaker did, but in a more pleasing to the eyes, she is after cute and that face of hers is equivalent to justice.
The first thing she did after waking up was take her own phone, log in to the same game as her brother and sign in.
Like her brother, she's also obsessed with perfect attendance, even more so than Sora.
And after signing in successfully, all of her energy completely disappeared from her body once more, like her earlier outburst was nothing but a final burst before the system shut down.
She immediately went back to sleep after that; Sora didn't want to wake her up either.
Unlike his sister, he's the type of person that once he's awake, it is hard for him to go back to sleep until the next sleepiness hits.
Looking at that time, it was still 6 AM, too damn early if you ask him.
For a shut-in like him, waking up in the morning like this is near a miracle; usually, it would be him still awake from an overnight gaming session, but waking up exactly at 6AM?
That's legendary, mythical even.
Either way, he should warm the bathwater first and take a bath.
So he went to prepare warm bathwater for both of them. After he did, Sora still had to wait for it to warm up, so to make up for it, he decided to cook breakfast.
Well, if you consider boiling water and pouring it into a ramen, then yes, he's cooking.
Since he knew that his sister wouldn't wake up for a while, he ate first and left some hot boiling water for her if she wanted to 'cook' ramen.
After eating his breakfast, he went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth, unlike some people who brush their teeth first before eating.
Now that the bathtub was finally at the right temperature, he dived in and as he sank into the warm and comfortable water, he almost fell asleep directly.
Warm baths were a luxury to him and his sister before this, so he finally got to savor what it's like to have a warm bath every single day.
And a half hour later, he was basically done with everything, his clothes, his 'make-up' which consisted of nothing but soap and shampoo plastered in his face.
He has expensive skin care, yet his face looks shiny; this was some magic typa shit men have for some reason.
Girls have expensive and long skin care products to maintain their moisture-free skin.
But the boys, just like him, needed water, toothpaste, soap and peanut butter to look this majestic.
He was admiring his look in the mirror and even started posing, then, without warning.
"Nii-nii." His sister suddenly appeared behind him, making him jump in fright.
Sora shifted his attention back to his sister, and his smile was a forced one. "My dearest sister, did you see what I just did?"
Shiro didn't know why her brother asked her this; however, she replied honestly. "I did. Nii-nii was posing in the mirror. Is it fun?"
Shiro wanted to try it. Seeing her brother enjoying himself while looking at his reflection, she became curious.
Unlike Sora, who has both IQ and EQ, Shiro has lower EQ and a much, much higher IQ to the point it's inhuman.
After hearing his sister admit that she saw him posing in various embarrassing poses, all he wanted to do right now was crawl into a hole and never come back due to sheer embarrassment.
His face turned red out of shame; he felt like he lost his dignity as a man toward his sister.
There are things that even someone close to you, or even a relative, shouldn't be seen, and this was one of those things.
"Can you forget what you just saw?" Sora knew that it was pointless, after all Shiro has more than just a perfect memory, she also has superhuman memory recall, microscopic detail attention.
Basically, as long as she saw it once, it's already immortalized in her memories forever, even irrelevant things that normal people won't remember, like, for example, the saying, "Do you remember how many grains of rice have you eaten?"
A normal person wouldn't; it's impossible.
Even if someone has a photographic memory, they can't.
But Shiro can, she can even tell you the exact number of how many grains she wasted.
Basically an impossible feat for most people except her.
No human should be able to remember to such an extent, and if there are, then they aren't human anymore; they're something above evolution.
It wouldn't be inaccurate to say that Shiro, no human in history, is as gifted as she is when it comes to calculation, remembrance and analysis.
So yes, his embarrassing moment is forever immortalized in Shiro's memory.
And as someone with a low EQ, Shiro tilted her head to her brother and asked a single-word question. "Why?"
Sora didn't know how to answer that without making himself more embarrassed.
And as he was contemplating how to reply, without any warning, the two were no longer on Earth and were dragged into an imaginary space.
Before the two could even react, they saw something that would forever be engraved into their memories and bones.
What they saw was perhaps the closest thing to a GOD.
It was a giant eye with a golden pupil, brighter than any gold or yellow.
Their first encounter with a divine being, and little did they know that this wouldn't be the only one today.

A/N: Yeah, I glazed him so hard that I'm even starting to feel embarrassed.
