Eko Chirai was taken in by the Gremory peerage when he was only 12 years old. That was four years ago. But one day... something changed. A new guy joined the peerage, Issei Hyoudo. All of a sudden, Eko seemed to not matter anymore. And then Ria...
I lay on the ground in the middle of the woods. A sword was embedded in my back, my face was bruised, and I was covered in blood. Standing over me were the people who I thought were my friends. Issei, Akeno, Kiba, and Rias.
Eko: W-why... what did I d-do wrong?
Rias: You did nothing wrong, Eko. I'm sorry, but you're just weak. That's it.
Kiba formed another sword, stabbing it into me and impaling me to the ground. I screamed in pain, as Issei grinned.
Issei: That's what you get, weakling. Come on guys, let's go.
He laughed and walked away, as Kiba and Akeno followed him. Rias just smirked.
Rias: I'm sorry it had to be this way, but you can't keep up. Goodbye, Eko.
The knight piece that was inside of me floated out, causing excruciating pain. She walked away, leaving me to die. I started crying. How... how could they do this? I spent the past two years as their teammate... their friend! And they just threw me away for that FUCKING pervert! Suddenly, a blinding flash of rainbow colors hit the ground in front of me. When the light died down, a tall figure was standing over me.
???: It's truly awful what they did to you, boy. Tell me... do you want another chance? An opportunity to have the life you want?
I nodded weakly. He smirked as the swords in my back dissolved. As I blacked out, the last thing I heard... was the roaring of thunder.
TIMESKIP
I slowly opened my eyes. I was laying in a bed... but I didn't recognize the room. I shot up, looking around. It looked like I was in some kind of palace. I slowly stood up, remembering what happened last night. My so-called friends' betrayal... and that man.
???: Good, you're awake.
I spun around, seeing the same man sitting on a couch in the corner of the room. He stood up, walking towards me and stopping right in front of me. He was easily at least seven feet tall, had bright red hair, black eyes with gold pupils, and was extremely muscular.

???: I suppose you're wondering who I am. And why I saved you.
I nodded. It's like Rias said... I'm weak. What good would it have done to save me.
Thor: I am Thor, the Nordic God of Thunder. And I saved you because I see potential in you. A power that has long been forgotten... and is in your possession.
I was shocked. Thor, the God of Thunder... he's the one who saved me? And what does he mean by a "forgotten power"?
Eko: I-I don't know. I'm nothing special, I'm relatively weak. I'm essentially just a human.
