Once upon a time, there was a very lonely orphan with a bright mind.
Despite becoming one at a very young age, the unfortunate orphan had some understanding of the harsh reality of life.
'I know.'
Losing his parents as an unaware child was indeed sad, losing the blurry memory he had of them was more sad. However, the world was full of such sad stories.
After all, an orphanage was a vacuum that put together those who suffered from similar tragedies. It wasn't too hard for the little child to glean this fact as he observed those around him.
'That's just how life works.'
Yet, while he readily accepted his fate, that barely helped fill the void in his heart. The orphanage wasn't exactly a terrible place, but they were an establishment that sought to achieve the bare minimum.
The place was barely able to run with the help of the state's aid, but that was it. It could only cover food, accommodation, clothes, and management.
