My name is Jin Kurokawa,, I work an average job, with average pay, at an average business, so what I'm saying is, I'm just your average middle aged business man. Nothing out of the ordinary, the guy who blends into the background, but there's one thing that's only a little above average, and that's my love for working hard, I'm not like most people who complain about there job or how hard they have to work just to get by, no I love my work it's bland and uninteresting sure, but that way, nothing changes, no one is going to leave or be hired suddenly, just me and my desk in a cubical with the phone I have to answer, no surprises, just everything the way it should be, that is until...

"Hey, Kurokawa." One of my many coworkers calls, "Do you need something...?" I look at his name tag and notice he's one of my bosses. "Mr. Yamamoto" I finish after my quick glance at the tag clipped to the pocket on the left side of his blazer. "Yea, actually the company is going to be taking a trip to the mountains to celebrate our success on the investment we've made, will you be there?" I look up at him and smile about to decline but before I got the chance he leaned in closer to me and whispered "just between you and me Kurokawa, the head of the company will be there and it's a good chance to impress him, just think of it as a business trip." He gives a devilish grin as if he's plotting something, but now I can't decline his offer if the head of the company is going to be there, "I'll be their, Sir." I say still smiling. He smiles and walks off but not before saying, "see you there tomorrow!" I stand up and bow and when he's gone I go back into my cubicle and my head hits the desk 'NO! Why must my perfectly peaceful workday be ruined!' I lift my head off the desk and look at my watch on my right wrist. '5-4-3-2-1' right on cue a lady holding two cups of coffee walks in "hello Kurokawa, I was just passing by and thought I would get you a cup of coffee." She stretches her arm out and holds the coffee to me, I take the cup of coffee and stand up, she looks a bit startled but it faded as soon as it appeared. I pour the cup on the ground and smiled "tell my ex-Wife I said thanks for the coffee." She looks pissed and after a bit of glaring she starts yelling and telling me off like she's involved in this (which she isn't) and after a few minutes she stormed away from me, leaving me alone in my cubicle with a now apparent coffee stain on the white carpeted floor, I walk over to my desk and grab a towel I had in my suitcase in case of emergency, I dab at the stain with the towel for a few minutes, and it was gone, 'she's still as persistent as ever, Now then back to work.'

Hello hello, welcome to the origins of Jinxe the hero/lazy god! Who knew that he would be that hard work? I also didn't know he had a wife! Well, Ex-wife, but that seems like more drama than it's worth, This isn't a Drama! It's a story about an average guy who likes to work. I'm getting ahead of myself let's just ease into this, shall we?
