The backyard of the school is a place rarely visited by other students, but for Rama, this place is his sanctuary.
Loneliness for him was like a daily meal, having no one he could call a friend, no family who would care about him, and no one who would reprimand him.
Rama never knew who his parents were, whether they were still alive or not, Rama didn't know, the only thing he knew about his birth which was also told by the person who found him at that time, was that he was found right in front of the orphanage, without anything other than a blanket that protected his body at that time, nothing else, not even a name, or anything.
The name Rama himself was given by the person who took care of him when he was a baby (Rama) which means Bringer of Happiness, who knows what that person was thinking when he gave him that name because until now, Rama has never once felt that 'happiness' thing, all there is is misery and loneliness.
The misery referred to here is since he was five years old when he was found as a Singularis by someone from outside the orphanage, who knows what happened that day because Rama doesn't remember much, but on that day, the orphanage he was living in at that time was burned down by the fire, and all the orphanage administrators died, leaving only a few children and Rama was also one of those children.
From there, the situation began to become a bit chaotic, Rama continued to move from one orphanage to another, who knows how many times, Rama doesn't really remember, but every time he moved to another orphanage, another incident would definitely happen, as if a disaster followed him, this also made Rama shunned by the other orphanage children and the orphanage administrators were afraid to approach him or stay by his side for long, until one day, when Rama entered junior high school, at that time, Rama could already remember clearly, that day Rama remembered clearly, someone wearing a lab coat and escorted by several people who were neatly dressed came to him and offered a place to accommodate someone like him (Singularis) and would sponsor him, at that time Rama who had no sense of attachment to the orphanage he was in accepted the offer without thinking.
At that time, Rama thought his life would change one hundred and eighty degrees, but in reality, it didn't.
Because when his ability as a singularity was known, that day Rama was kicked out of that place, without a place to return to, Rama wandered the streets, eating people's leftovers and sleeping in inappropriate places, but fortunately someone found him at that time, and also became the only person Rama could trust in this harsh world.
The person was elderly, he provided shelter, decent food, and work that was not really work that was appropriate for a child his age, A job that deals with Beast carcasses.
But the person Rama had considered as one of his family also did not live long, he died due to an incident that occurred in the factory where he worked, the incident occurred because there was a Beast that was not completely dead, suddenly rose and went on a rampage, and killed several workers and this grandfather was one of the victims, actually, if Rama was not there, maybe this grandfather could have survived but because he protected Rama, this grandfather lost his life right in front of Rama, when reinforcements arrived it was too late, the dead could not be brought back to life, all of that has become a memory that will continue to stick in Rama's mind as a tragedy that he will never forget.
From here Rama learned to accept, accept that he was not destined to be with someone else, and learned to accept that destiny could not be changed no matter how hard the struggle was. The proof is that after Rama developed this trait, his life became better.
In this world, ordinary jobs are no longer a trend, especially with the existence of Cracks that spew out Beasts; humans prefer jobs related to Cracks; these jobs have high risks, but the benefits are also the risks, so many people choose to work in fields related to Cracks or Beasts.
And the most popular job is [The Diver] This is a job that requires someone to enter the Crack and complete the realm/trial behind the Crack, if the realm inside the Crack is successfully completed, then the Divers usually bring back loot, and the Beast Carcass is one of them, this is where the Rama Section works.
The Vulture, is the name of Rama's profession, those who live off the corpses of Beasts, they dismantle Beast corpses to take important parts of the corpses, the lowest job among all jobs, but Rama still does this job because only a job like that will accept someone like him, so even if he wants to stop, Rama has to think twice.
At least Rama will continue to do this job until he reaches adulthood because when someone reaches adulthood, something rather special will happen, something that all young people in the world dream of.
[System] A blessing given to all Humans on Earth when they reach adulthood.
Similar to the ones in the Game, with the help of [System] one can change their fate, [System] provides features such as [Status], [Quest], [Shop], and [Inventory].
In essence, with the existence of this [System], Humans can grow to become strong similar to characters in Games, something similar to leveling up, that's what makes many people yearn for the job of [The Diver] besides the benefits of working as a Diver, each individual can also grow to become stronger.
However, all of this can only be obtained when someone reaches adulthood, therefore, when they are still teenagers, or what can be called the preparation period, many children prefer to enter an Academy rather than a regular high school, apart from the teachings being more advanced than regular schools, at the Academy, a student will also be trained to prepare themselves to take the path of [The Diver] which does not exist in regular High School.
And Rama's dream is to become [The Diver] maybe this is the only selfishness that Rama has in his life.

*DING!* *DONG!*
The bell rang again, signaling that break time was over.
Hearing this, Rama then collected his trash, threw it in the nearest trash can, and then immediately rushed back to his class.
However, when Rama passed in front of the school warehouse, Rama heard a commotion happening inside, Rama immediately knew that it was none other than Cheng and his gang.
This was a common thing for Rama because Cheng and his gang often used the school warehouse as a gathering place, and they often did forbidden things there, such as smoking, or other things that were usually forbidden in school areas.
Even the teachers already knew about this, but because of Cheng's status, none of the teachers or staff dared to reprimand them, which only made Cheng and his gang even more arbitrary.
Normally, Rama would just ignore this, but today, the commotion he heard was different from usual days.
This made Rama interested in peeking at what was happening in there.
Rama then walked towards the window that was there.
Before he could peek at what was happening inside, Rama's instincts flared, reminding him to get away from the area as soon as possible.
For Rama who trusted his instincts more than anything else in this world, it was no longer just a hunch but something that had to be done, so Rama forgot his curiosity and quickly wanted to leave that place, but...
*BRAK!!*
The sound of the warehouse door opening loudly was heard, and then Cheng and his gang ran out of the warehouse with panicked faces.
Their gazes met for a moment before Cheng continued to run away from the warehouse area. Seeing this, Rama also did not stay silent, and without knowing what was really happening in the warehouse, Rama also ran away from the area.
Rama kept running, and running, until...
*BOOM!*
A loud explosion was heard from the direction of the school warehouse. And what happened after that was just chaos.
