(hey guys, I planned to see how well this book was doing, but it seemed I had too much expectations with only 2 published chapters, so...
Tada, I'm publishing another one from the drafts. Anyway, I'm the dafty for thinking this would make an impact with only 2 chapters, but aye, I'll continue this since I like writing this story myself.
feel free to leave a review and send me your balls- *Ahem* I mean, stones.)

"Thankfully, the Monster was killed by King."
"That's great, long live King."
"Dammit, king is my idol, and the first time I ever see him, he disappears!" (T_T)
Aston stood atop an office building, listening to the faint cheers and admiration the people had for him. He was currently not accustomed to the increase in his speed, which is why he only made it to the top of a building.
Trying to run once more but significantly decreasing his speed, Aston once again disappeared from his spot atop the building, leaving a crater upon the roof. Presently, Aston wanted to catch up to Saitama to hopefully become friends and mooch off him by absorbing all the monsters he kills, in this way, he can lazily increase his strength without having to fight monsters himself.
Even if he has the power too, he currently doesn't have the experience, so he would rather not come across a monster that is strong enough to reveal his strength as that can have many drawbacks. Such as the people not seeing him as their symbol of hope within these dark times as monsters are beginning to become more frequent, he also doesn't want to stop everyone else from being misunderstood about his strength, as it was quite funny and beneficial in many ways.
'Wait, why am I running atop buildings when I can fly?'
Having a momentary brain fart and forgetting that he can fly, Aston berates himself and attempts to take to the sky. Taking flight, however, was somewhat easy, as he got the knowledge on how to use vaccine mans abilities.
Skimming through the city at 2,000 feet in the air, Aston spotted Saitama blitzing back to Z-City at what appeared to be the speed of sound, even so the environment didn't take any damage, it seemed he unconsciously used his life energy to leave the environment intact, not even causing a sonic boom, it reminded him of superman's ability to do the same.
'Let's wait for him to go back to his apartment before approaching him.'
Coming to a decision to befriend Saitama at his home, Aston flew back to his apartment to get his console and some clothes before flying back to Z-Cities ghost town where Saitama lived.
From the anime, Aston remembered which apartment building Saitama lived in, so finding him was relatively easy.
*Knock Knock*
Knocking on Saitama's run-down apartment door, Aston waited, waited, and waited some more.
*Knock Knock Knock*
Banging on the door for a second time, Saitama quickly came to see who beside him would be in this ghost town.
"Who is it?"
Opening the door, the invincible protagonist who can solo Goku appeared before Aston. He seemed to have just changed out of his hero suit, which may have been why he took so long to open the door, which relieved Aston's irritation at being left knocking for so long.
"Yo, the names King."
Aston casually introduced himself to Saitama, as he knew he was a very carefree individual.
"So can I come in? I brought meat."
Showing the meat to Saitama that he currently couldn't afford was all it took for him to let a stranger into his home. He immediately grabbed the bag of meat and went into the kitchen.
Following him inside the apartment and closing the door behind, Aston successfully made it into Saitama's apartment. Looking around the apartment, it appeared quite small, with a large living space, a small kitchen, and a bathroom.
Sitting on the floor in the living room, Aston proceeded to connect his gaming console to Saitama's tv while he cooked. After 25 minutes, Saitama came with a bowl of chicken katsu. Chicken katsu is a traditional Japanese dish and a type of katsu. It's made by dredging tender chicken breast in flour, eggs, and panko breadcrumbs, then frying the cutlets in hot oil until they become golden and crunchy.
"So... who are you, and what do you want?" Asked Saitama to his guest who invited himself in. "As I said before, the names King, and I was wondering if I can stay here for a bit." Replied king, although he didn't anticipate Saitama's reaction.
"W-What's with the look?" King awkwardly asked as Saitama just stared at him blankly. "I don't even know you, yet you wish to stay at my place? hard pass." The next words that came out of Saitama's mouth, however, was expected, as the same happened to Genos. "I'll pay rent." Said Aston.
Taking out a pile of cash and resting it in front of Saitama, cleverly knowing his broke ass can't resist, becoming room-mates was simply inevitable.
"Deal!"
Quickly snatching the money afraid king would go back on his word, Saitama welcomed his new friend and room-mate and proceeded to give him a quick tour of the premises.
"So this is the kitchen, and that's the bathroom, and finally, your sleeping bag." Said Saitama, handing him his new bed where he shall slumber. "Thanks, dude." Said Aston, showing his gratitude.
"By the way, this is some nice katsu man."
"Thanks."
...
In a distant laboratory of a certain mad scientist named Fukegao.
"Hyeeheeheehee!!"
"At last, I have completed the ultimate steroid-Biceps king!" Said Fukegao, staring at his masterpiece of a drug. "Little bro! drink this for the strength that you desire!" stated Fukegao to his younger brother, who only desired to become stronger.
"Big bro..." replied Fukegao's younger brother named Marugori.
Taking the drug from his older brother, Marugori trusted in him and gulped it all down, leaving behind an empty test tube. Immediately, however, every organism in his body was attacked by an intense pain, causing him to scream out in agony.
...
"Ahhh dammit! you're cheating, yeah, that's it, you're definitely cheating." Shouted Saitama as he just lost to King in a Halo deathmatch. "I'm not though, I clearly gave you an advantage and more health, you're just trash bro." Calmly replied King, having defeated Saitama for the umpteenth time today.
"Fuck I give up, let's watch some tv." taking the controller and switching the tv back to live television, Saitama and Aston's attention was stolen by the news currently being broadcasted.
What appeared on the news was the live feed of an enormous masculine shaped creature, who was so tall his head pierced the clouds.
"This is an emergency! A giant creature has appeared and destroyed city D, I repeat, a giant creature has appeared and destroyed city D. The disaster level of the monster is demon, all residents of the area should flee to the evacuation shelter as soon as possible. The giant monster is now headed for city B we-." Unfortunately, the reporter was unable to finish what she was about to say as the live feed was cut.
(AN: if you forgot, disaster level demon is: Danger to a city and its inhabitants.)
Turning to look at Saitama, Aston failed to see him as he left a few seconds prior to eliminate the monster. With a smug look upon his face Aston said. "Hehehehehe, time to go absorb another monster after Saitama kills it."
...
Pov: Narrator
Within close proximity to city B, chaos and havoc ensued as many people screamed, panicked, and shoved each other, scurrying for survival. "Hyeehehehe!" madly laughed Fukegao. "Squash them all, little brother, show them all!" Said Fukegao on his power trip, having failed to catch sight of Saitama lounging upon his brothers shoulder opposite him.
"Nani?! Someone's riding you!!!" Shouted Fukegao to his younger brother. "Wait! Theirs another one flying!!!" Stated Fukegao, now catching sight of Aston floating in the air above his brother, cross-legged, radiating arrogance.
"Huh?!" exclaimed Saitama. "No fair king, you can fly?" Questioned Saitama, in response, Aston said. "Yup, cool righ-"
"WaitWaitWaitWait." Said Fukegao cutting in-between Saitama and Aston's leisure conversation. "Are you thee king?"
"That's my name, scared now?" Teased Aston, enjoying his fraudulent reputation. "Younger brother, kill those two." Commanded Fukegao of his younger brother. "Oho, you're going to fight me? Color me surprised, every monster I've encountered simply cowered before me." Taunted king.
Following his older brothers wish, Marugori attacked king, who was floating motionless mid-air. Sending a jab at King, Fukegao accidently fell off his brothers shoulder and fell to his death, leaving Saitama and Aston speechless.
'That is one unlucky guy. In the manga, he got squashed by his lil bro, but now he fell to his death...' Thought king at the irony of such a situation.
Marugori, who was unresponsive for a few seconds after accidently killing his older brother, suddenly yelled in a frenzy. "Big brooooooooooo!"
"How could this happen?!" Mourned Marugori. "All I wanted to do was become the strongest man."
'Sorry bud, with someone as cracked as Saitama, ain't no way you becoming the strongest.'
"Well, I guess it's time you die." Said Aston with kings indifferent face that now intimidated Marugori.
"King... you're the reason my brother died, I'm gonna kill you!!" Mustering up the courage to retort kings blatant threat, Marugori attempted to throw another jab at Aston, but suddenly, he started falling towards the ground with Saitama still seated upon his shoulders.
'Wow... first time I've killed someone, but damn am I strong!'
What just happened, you may be wondering? Well, Aston simply accumulated an enormous amount of energy present in both the atmosphere and his body, condensed it into a small circular shape, and shot it at Marugori at a speed he naturally couldn't comprehend.
This beam of energy came into contact with Marugori's head and pierced through his brain, coming out the other end without any resistance. "Well, I guess I should absorb the drops." Hovering down to the ground where Marugori's corpse lay, Aston saw a silver ranked orb that he quietly absorbed.
'Ding, silver orb absorbed.' After hearing the system chime, everything within his mind went silent again, proof of the system being non-sentient. "Hallelujah."
"Hey, king!" 'hmm.' Turning to see what Saitama wanted, Aston was met with a very pissed of Baldy. "Watch it next time, you almost buried me. My hero suit was also recently washed you bastard."
"Skill issue."
"Huh...? What does that even mean?? You've been saying it since we were playing street fighter." Saitama asked with a visible question mark above his head.
"Don't worry about it, anyway, I'm hungry from that fight. C'mon, let's go, dinners on me."
"For real??? Then let's go." Happily taking the lead and marching to the most expensive restaurant, Saitama planned to have his fill while draining king of all possible cash.
