2 Prologue:

"Fuck I'm late again! Damn it, I have to hurry or Im going to lose my only customer for this month". Jumping off his messy bed, Anthony hurriedly went to get dress and brush his teeth. He has only 5 minutes left before the deadline his customer gave him. He's been late several times already, he's not lazy or what, in truth Anthony is very hard working, in fact he was able to finished his studies because he works at a fast food restaurant at night to pay his tuition fees. Its just that by profession he is an engineer,a mechanical engineer. He finished his studies 3 years ago at an average university in the province.

Due to bad economy and graduating from more or less mediocre university, he was not able to get a job, the money he saved up when he was still studying, was used up within 3 months after graduating. He already sold the house left behind by his parents when his grandfather fell ill. To pay for the medical expenses he had to.

Anthony is a professional blacksmith in the modern world, he inherited this work when his grand father fell ill and he has to forge the remaining orders that his grandfather failed to finish or else they have to pay the penalty of non-delivery.

Anthony's grandfather brought him up and he learned somehow the basic way of blacksmithing and forging. Though he was just helping out he still learned the techniques of being a blacksmith, though just an average one.

A year ago the only relative left in his life died due to old age and overworking. Since he was not able to find a suitable job he continued the little shop of his grandfather, at least according to Anthony he's the boss of his own business.

Though he's just forging 'balisong' or butterfly knife he can still earn a decent amount every month enough to sustain him.

Anthony went out the door, almost hitting the owner of the building where he's renting a room. "Sorry Mr. Craig, Im in a hurry". Anthony turned his back and ran. Mr. Craig was surprised because he was supposed to ask Anthony for his rent for the past 2 months.

Mr Craig shouted at Anthony, "I need the rent today or else Im going to throw you out". Not sure if Anthony heard what he said but he just shook his head and mumbled something.

In a hurry, Anthony crossed the street in a hurry not checking the road, he's panicking already, "fuck I need to complete this transaction, this is enough for me to at least live for another month and pay my due's". He was about to reach the other side of the street when he noticed that people were looking at him in horror, then suddenly he heard a loud horn, looking over his side he saw a truck trying to avoid him at all cost. Then he lost consciousness.

Apparently he crossed the street when it was still red.
