There were several sheets of paper filled with Nordic characters on the desk, with the pen tip still stuck in the paper seam, as if it had just been halfway written; in the corner, there were several boxes containing colorful glass beads, the glass beads reflecting fine light in the setting sun — you recognized those beads; they were toys that children in Asgard played with.

Introduction
Loki is the cunning and changeable "joke god" in the Marvel universe, who is both evil and good. Born from Asgard, he has always been struggling between his "son" identity and his sense of self. Initially, he was an antagonist against the Avengers, gradually revealing a vulnerable core that craves recognition. Eventually, he explores his true self-worth in the multiverse.
