It was a cold night, there was no visible light in the sky, just the moon in the midst of all the silence, and someone breathing heavily could be heard.
It was a small boy, he looked pale, he had long black hair, and eyes that looked like an ocean, he was very skinny, like he was malnourished.
Roy, who was just walking around aimlessly in the neighbourhood, his eyes showing nothing but regret and sorrow.
Why was it like this...
First, every single one of my family members died in a tragic car accident. A bastard was drinking and driving. The only reason I lived was because my mom pushed me out of the car in time; the others didn't make it.
I broke most of my bones, but I recovered. After that incident, I spent most of my days locked in my room, crying and doing nothing else
All of my relatives refused to take me in, as all of them were not able to support me due to their financial conditions not that good enough.
But I was able to recover after some time, well, not some, it was a whole year, but the memories still haunted me, but it was ok.
I continued with my studies, and surprisingly, I kind of liked studying. I was a curious person, and I chose science and engineering as my major, well, kind of, I self-studied most of the science using YouTube.
I thought that my life couldn't get any worse, but it seems like I kinda jinxed myself as things turned worse to downright horrendous
The University I tried to get into with a scholarship didn't accept me, and for a rich kid whose father knew some people at the university.
Even though I was the one who needed it desperately plus I even had good grades.
Wasn't the point of a scholarship to help poor students who couldn't afford going to university?
Life in general isn't fair for anyone, and I got one lesson for all that: the person who has the most money and connections is the most powerful.
I went to get a job nobody will hire me. Why? I had all the necessary skills required for the job, but why is it that a random person comes in with fewer achievements than me gets the job?
After some time, the money that my parents saved up for me was gone, and with nothing else to do, I tried to escape reality, and it was then that I discovered web novels and webtoons.
There was a webtoon he liked so much that he read all of it so many times that it was hard to keep count of it was called The Hero's Survival.
It was a typical fantasy story, but he liked it because it was simple, just basic. He actually talked to the author quite a lot. He was the only friend he had because he spent most of his time studying instead of being social he had no friends and spent most of his time alone.
After that, all Roy did was read web novels and webtoons all day, but eventually, he got kicked out of his apartment because he couldn't pay his rent.
And here we are now in the streets all alone...
Sometimes I think why I didn't just died during the car crash, the guy who killed my parents is still out there, probably living happily after killing my parents; all he got was two years in jail.
Well, let's just say Roy's wishes were answered while crossing the road, a car came at full speed.
*Bammm
Eh? What happened?
Why does the building look upside down?
The speed the car hit Roy was so fast that it took some time before the pain was registered by his brain.
Slowly, the pain got to Roy; he wanted to cry and scream in agony, but his voice wouldn't come out, and before he knew it, his eyes closed permanently.
Ah...
Where am I?
This is definitely not my room.
The surroundings looked completely different. There was a desk with a bunch of books in front of him, there was a small bed on the side, and a mirror in the corner next to the bed.
Roy slowly moved towards the mirror to check his reflection. Standing in front of him was a handsome, tall boy with black hair and blue ocean eyes, just like him. The only difference between them was that his facial structure was more defined.
Me?
This is me?
Roy was so confused that he just stood there, standing still, and processing what had happened.
