The Earth After Rebirth

It was unfortunate that there weren't a lot of lower district people they could choose from. Only a few from that place bought the pods, some opted for monthly payments since it wasn't that expensive.

No bank would touch them and loan them money. So they had no other choice. They may have run to loan sharks if Kiro didn't nip that problem in the bud already.

Most understood the investment that was Asgard. Currency conversion was another way to earn money and that meant they could live comfortably while doing something they loved and enjoyed.

"Thank you for coming, Ms. Silva here will announce the winners."

Isla looked at him like he was missing his entire head. They didn't even discuss this and he was putting her on the spot.

"I'll get you for this." She said through gritted teeth.

With every name she uttered, the crowd roared with cheers. Appreciating Kiro's integrity, some people would've weaseled their way out of giving these potions for free. As long as they'd gotten their sales.

When Isla was done announcing the winners, Hiro announced their weekly tournaments. They'd have three people win every week until they decided they had enough guardians.

This was met with even more enthusiasm.

"Remember everyone, if you're not playing on the Obelisk, the chances of you winning are very slim as everyone will be slightly faster than you." Hiro closed his announcement, boosting the sales even more.

It was business for him too, since there were stores on his property who got the rights to sell the pods. He vowed to open his own tech shop when they were done saving the universe.

They both had bigger plans for the lower district, instead of people wanting to move away, they wanted it to be a place where people would want to live in.

Make it so that the upper district wasn't the only lavish district in their country, so that the population in the lower district can disperse to the other districts. They of course understood that this would take years, but it was something they wanted to do.

And now that they no longer had school, they had all the time in the world.

"I'm really sorry to be forward, my question will stray but I'm sure we're all eager to know. Is it true that the game is an extension of another world? And that we face greater peril?" One of the winning people asked.

"To be honest, I was as shocked as you all. I've fought one of the monsters, of course I had no idea at the time but now it makes so much sense because it was very strong and I almost died." Kiro told them a well rehearsed tale.

"Then if this is a threat to the whole world, why not just give us these potions?" One who wasn't even part of the winners abruptly asked.

"Do you think we're potion machines or something? We need ingredients. We had to go to a legendary dungeon just to get them, it took Hiro months to master the potion too. What I'm saying is, the stock is very limited, we can only choose those we deem worthy." He shrugged.

They were all silenced by his meticulous answers.

"Don't be too down, together we're definitely going to conquer this threat!"

There were cheers once more, before everyone dispersed as it was time to go home. They'd already been there for quite some time.

Kiro called Raul to take them home, it was already a bit dark outside. He wasn't quite sure what the sanctum knew, he didn't want to take chances by walking.

"You know Percival, I'll get you for this." Isla teased as she got off the car, the distance wasn't a long one, they arrived within five minutes.

She was however surprised when Kiro didn't mind her calling him that. He smiled instead, a genuine proud smile that made her flustered.

He knew a Percival that had fought a god amongst gods. He knew a Percival that cut a god with what seemed like an ordinary sword. Hearing someone call him with that name, he was filled with warmth and immense happiness.

She rolled her eyes and they waited until she was beyond the safety of her gate before starting the car to drop off Saanvi.

As they approached her gate, the two started kissing. Kiro was embarrassed for them, he didn't know where to look.

"Cut it out, I'm right here you know." He complained, regretting not saying goodbye to Isla the same way.

Saanvi gave him an expression that was clear that he was being a pest.

"This is my car, you know?" Kiro teased.

She gave him a smirk, turned to Hiro for more then got out since they'd already arrived at her gate.

Hiro gave him an apologetic smile.

"Well then, see you in-game. Don't forget that the tournament starts today, may as well have one every Friday since the next day won't be a school or work day for most."

After dropping off Hiro they went straight to the Waynworth estate. Kiro wasn't yet used to living with his parents, so this was a bit of an adjustment for him.

"We're here Sir." Raul said jerking Kiro out of his mental world.

"Thanks man." He smiled and got out. "You'll have to teach me to drive some time, I have all the time now."

They chatted with each other, going into the main house. The people hired to help had to have dinner and breakfast at the house with the family, every single day. Lunch was something they didn't really sit together for, otherwise they could make themselves something if they desired.

Something Sekani and Freya forced upon them, as uncomfortable and uncommon as it was, they agreed, reluctantly.

The second the door opened, Kiro was bombarded by Alora with plenty of hugs and kisses. She was used to him lying about coming back soon, but lately he's been truthful since he no longer went to school and she liked that a lot.

Dinner was something he looked forward to but he missed a lot of breakfasts. It filled him with joy seeing his family healthy and happy.

"Dad, you really outdid yourself with the pod, it's seamless." He was genuinely impressed. "Well I'm off to bed now."

He excused himself, he immediately tore inside the pod.

"Welcome back Kiro, the top player in Asgard. Login initialising."
