Closing his ptop, Aaron yawned and stretched his entire body while sitting on his bed, having been engrossed in watg YouTube videos for hours.

  Aaron stone, an ordinary 23-year-old college student, often faced questiarding his proloay in school.

  However, he would respond that everyone had their unique pad path in life.

  For him, college was not merely a means to obtain a degree but also a ptform for personal growth, despite financial challenges pying a signifit role.

  He viewed education as a lifelong journey and eagerly anticipated where his passion for art would lead him.

  With a deep affe faming, anime, manga, fanfics, and simir is, Aaron had transformed them into hobbies, albeit learning to exercise moderation to avoid being a .

  The end of the semester had arrived, marked by a grueling week of final exams, a familiar ordeal for any college student.

  Despite sacrifig time that would have bee on his hobbies to study, Aaron remained optimistic about his performand looked forward to reaping the rewards once his grades were released.

  As the final week drew to a close, Aaron decided to indulge in a big session to catch up ohing he had missed.

  From watg "Danmachi" to catg up on some good manga such as "Tales of Demons and Gods," and reading novels and fanfic updates, his eai-filled spree culminated in watg Coryxkenshin on YouTube.

  Interrupting his stretch, Aaron realized he was hungry after spending almost the entire day on his ptop.

  Cheg the time on his phone, he was shocked to see that eleven hours had passed since he started big.

  Determio save money, he opted to walk to a nearby store for take-out; normally, a oodle or two would suffice, but today he felt like treating himself to something different.

  oodles were good sidering he had various fvored versions of it, but eating noodles, bread, or beans every day would eventually take its toll.

  Cooking wasn’t really his forte sidering his greatest ary achievement was making pasta and a weird pasta sauce thing.

  No he khe recipes and how to cook them, he was just zy or so he vinced himself.

  Anything he made was usually just a mish-mash of whatever graced his fridge.

  He also didn’t want to order online because he found tipping a weird ost businesses had been using this as an excuse to pay their workers less, which Aaron found quite deplorable.

  The had reached the point where it was seen as mandatory to tip someone.

  There were even some who might tamper with the item to be delivered if you didn’t tip them, an experience Aaron had entered once before.

  The thought of someoampering with or ht stealing his food because he didn’t tip them, or they found the tip too small, was awfully displeasing.

  It didn’t take long before he arrived at the pizza store only to see the store seemed extremely busy.

  ‘Huh, what’s going on? Is everyone in the neighborhood craving Pizza today or something?’ Aaron pondered.

  Sitting at the pizza pce, waiting for his order after making the payment, he regretted not pre- as he mented over the long wait time.

  To pass the time, he browsed an online bookstore, purchasing a spin-off series of "Danmachi" called "Sword Orario" to satisfy his curiosity piqued by anime forums.

  There was a lot of hype for the series, which drew his attention.

  Normally, he would wait for a free pirated version to be released, but that could take months to years. His i might die off by then.

  The spin-off followed the adventures of Ais and her rades in the Loki familia.

  There was also a limited-time dist for the book, so he couldn’t miss the opportunity.

  Refleg on the etricities of the characters and plot, he delved into wiki pages to uncover more about the gods portrayed in the series.

  Scrolling through the search bar, all the volumes not featured in the anime caught his eye, thanks to the ret hype on various anime forums.

  "This month's budget will be a bit tight," he couldn't help but mutter after making that hefty purchase.

  With a new season of Danmachi on the horizon, he hoped to bich the series.

  His anime buddies wouldn't stop discussing it ohey had introduced him to the show.

  He had been more of a Naruto's "talk no Jutsu" fan rather than a dense virgin boy with a hero plex.

  He recalled watg the first seaso was released, finding it ge worthy with its quirky gods and goddesses.

  The main character was overly apologetic, dense, and possessed araordinarily strong hero plex, but eventually, he came to see some charm in the series.

  Despite finding the goddess Hestia a bit gy, he somewhat liked her, particurly as she ortrayed as a "legal Loli.".

  However, just for crification, even though his online username, ‘Legal Loli gentleman,’ on several anime forums might give a strange impression, he wasn't a pedophile, just someone who ehe charm of animated legal Lolis.

  Hestia's interference, coupled with the MC’s deure, hindered his progress with the many potential waifus surrounding him.

  The series tio new seasons, but at the moment, he struggled to recall many positive aspects.

  Seeking a refresher on the series out of sheer boredom, he delved into various wiki pages and stumbled upon intriguing information.

  Most of the gods featured in the series beloo the Greek or Roman pantheons, although it hi the existence of other pantheons that were not explicitly mentioned.

  As he scrolled through his phone, expl different pantheon goddesses, he reflected on his status as a virgio his odd preferences, rather than some tragic backstory or an obsession with surviving and anime.

  Lost in thought, he amusingly eaihe idea of being a grand sage akin to Rimuru if he remained a virgin until age 40.

  "Order number 55!" Engrossed in his musings and browsing, Aaron was startled by the annou of his order number.

  He g his slip to firm then pocketed his phone, and proceeded to collect his food.

  After colleg his food, he made his way back to his apartment while scrolling through some anime reviews as he walked.

  ‘It's official, Jujutsu Kaisen is the best anime series,’ he thought. Amidst his thoughts on "Jujutsu Kaisen," he found himself at a crosswalk.

  Putting down his phone, he carefully checked to firm the coast was clear before crossing.

  The light was green, and there were no approag vehicles.

  However, in a split sed, he heard a honk and turo see a truck hurtling towards him.

  The headlights were tht for him to see if there was a driver, but that was the least of his worries.

  ‘Which way will the truck swerve, is it left, right, or will it tinue going in a straight lihese thoughts speedily raced through his mind.

  The truck was already inches away from him, and he didn’t have the luxury of w how such a rge truck materialized so close to him.

  As the truck bore down on him, he made a split-sed decision to duck face down, hoping to avoid a direct impabsp;

  He had seen a se simir to this in a YouTube video that day, and the person simply passed safely uhe trubsp;

  Sadly for him, fate had other pns in mind.

  The underside of the truck was on the low side. In that moment, as the truck passed over him, a surreal sequenages fshed through his mind.

  The st thing he experienced was his body being shaved as it was dragged along the hard asphalt road, leaving a trail of blood, bones shaved on the asphalt road, and his viscera.
