Six days ago, Adal had agreed to take a vow under the strong vow of death using a covenant spell. Gaige had asked Adal to go up to the rooftop of his building, as such a significant spell might ruin his room. He didn't want to tire Lisa out with cleaning up the mess afterward. She could ask the returnees to clean his room, but Lisa insisted that cleaning his room was exclusively her responsibility, which Gaige found somewhat lame. The night was so dark because the clouds hid all the stars and the moon. Gaige knew that once they cast the spell, the stars and moon would reappear. "Still hesitating?" Gaige asked. He couldn't see the expression on Adal's face because they shared the same body. He had no way of knowing her expression without seeing a reflection. However, he could sense her hesitation from how she became quiet, as if deep in thought. "Do you know that the vow will be stronger if I do the chanting?" Adal replied. “I know.” Gaige said, still speaking inside Adal’s head.

"What a strange place and situation!" Gaige exclaimed. There were more than four people who looked exactly like Gaige Ferguson, and ten of them resembled Kim Nery. However, none of them were the same age. Among the ten other people he had never seen before, Gaige felt a strong similarity. Gaige continued, "What’s going on?" He had thought his only purpose was to read information at the archive, but he found himself in a peculiar place with a group of people instead. He slowly stood up and picked up a shield from the floor to cover his naked body, as the Amopocpoc hadn't brought him any clothes yet. Everyone else in the room was clothed, which made him feel slightly embarrassed. "He's covering himself, so he's not our angel version," one of them commented. "But he is naked; maybe he developed shame?" another suggested. "Ridiculous; we can never break character." "What if that’s his character?" Gaige looked up at the four people casually talking loudly while sitting on the stair

Back in the mysterious archive room, Gaige stood firmly, facing people who looked exactly like his past, present, and future selves. "A god-candidate is a mortal chosen by one of the seven highest gods to compete in the god-choosing process, a long-term event that determines the next god of a godless galaxy, usually a newborn world. Depending on their angels' rank, god-candidates can be granted the powers of RED. All candidates were chosen from any mortal world in the universe." Gaige uttered these words as though he were simply letting each one roll off his tongue. Despite speaking at a rapid pace and being somewhat out of breath, he maintained a cool demeanor. He couldn't understand why his words, something he'd read from a video game's main event, left everyone in the room with their jaws dropped, as if everything he said was indisputable truth. Gaige had spent considerable time researching the oddity of the novel he had transmigrated into. He had discovered many things but lacke

Three years ago, on the same day that Gaige returned to Earth, Adal, also known as Angel Dalnak, was wandering around the city, even though overseer angels were expected to remain forty thousand feet above ground when on duty. As a free-will angel, Adal disregarded rules, as her god was exceptionally forgiving of her. She was like a pampered angel, highly favored by the god she should have served. She did less work and could do as she pleased. Rumors circulated that she had been created from her god's own essence, which explained her deity's leniency and indulgence towards her. Due to this extreme permissiveness, her god had not set any boundaries or limitations. Just as with parenting, giving a child too much power led to a spoiled nature, with the parents always rescuing the child from regular frustrations. Adal's lord was the god of labor, Lord Pauy. Most of those under his authority were accustomed to ceaseless toil. Given the contrast between her and the other servants under Lor

Adal gasped loudly as she was abruptly pulled into a red divine circle created by her god. She blinked her eyes repeatedly, trying to hasten her vision's recovery from the sudden teleportation. She didn't yet understand what was happening, but she moved to kneel. Sensations returned to her, including the feeling of her wings, which led her to conclude that she was back in her god's territory. "Free creatures are truly ungrateful!" A voice laden with insinuation echoed inside Adal's mind, sending shivers down her spine. She clasped her hands and kissed the floor, making a full bow. She begged, "I am sorry! I crossed the line! Please forgive me!" She still didn't know if she'd been caught working with another god, as her god typically did as it pleased. This was the first time it had become angry with her and scolded her for her actions. Adal could hear her god's loud, deep sigh before it spoke again. "You will be under investigation for becoming a SIC. The high order will pick yo
