After an undetermined amount of time, the young boy slowly regained his consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes, to find himself still in the dark.
"Ouch." His body was hurt as he stood up. Then he sat in front of the computer screen while rubbing his back.
"What is this?" Unknowingly to him, he saw the diary that he threw before on his hands. The young boy has no choice but to read it. 'Maybe, there was a secret hidden in this diary.'
He calmed his breathing and flip the first page of the diary. The young boy steadily read the content and fell silent.
Moments later, the young boy closed the diary again as tears flowed from his eyes. The young boy felt hopeless as Bai's story is similar to him!
Bai is the village youngest beggar. His family abandoned him in a small village when he was only ten years old. There, the young Bai struggled and had a very hard life. An old man kind enough took care of him and fed him. He gave him work, clothing and a place to sleep.

For 30 years, the young Bai worked on the old man's farm. Yes, for almost 30 years, he lives on the old man's farm. In the 30th year, the old man died mysteriously. Bai was the one who inherited the farm as the old man has no child nor any relatives to begin with.
Few days after the old man's burial, Bai sold the entire property of the old man to someone else and Bai flew all the way to the main city hoping to have a better life. The truth was, Bai was the one who killed the old man. Bai put a poisonous substance on the old man's food and resulting in the old man's death.
In the city, Bai thought that he will have a grand life in the city. It did not happen as he suffered so much. He was mocked, beaten, and framed. The money he earned(author's note: shameless) disappeared the moment he lands in the main city(author's note: that's good).
Not knowing what to do, Bai became a beggar again. This time, he was the city's top-earning beggar. (Upgraded Bai)
