Kurogami Masayuki, Snow Sky-Dog, and Mizuchi Haruka soared into the Human World with an air of urgency. After hours of traversing through immense silver clouds, leaving behind towering mountains and long rivers, they descended upon a ruined temple. The temple lay in a damp and shadowy forest. The three deities stepped inside, their eyes sweeping every corner of the temple’s space, intent on finding its caretaker. They searched for a long time but found no one. Suddenly, Snow Sky-Dog fixated on a statue within the temple. The other two gods also turned their gaze to the statue, wondering which deity it represented in their divine world. To their astonishment, the statue began to move. Initially, the movements were weak, but gradually they grew stronger. After a while, the statue's movements caused a significant earthquake that shook the temple. The statue shrank and transformed, turning into a man clad in black priestly robes. His face, handsome yet emanating an aura of mystery and dan
The first rays of dawn in the Human World awakened the most responsible deity of the World of the Gods. That deity was none other than the God of Light, Kurogami Masayuki. Kurogami Masayuki awoke while Snow Sky-Dog and Mizuchi Haruka were still sound asleep as if they had drunk too much the night before. (Although it was not their habit to indulge in alcohol; that was Kurogami Masayuki's preference—yet, paradoxically, he was often the earliest riser among all the gods of the World of the Gods. [It was strange and humorous that this god, who usually stayed up late after drinking, still managed to wake up first! Perhaps he did this to ensure a deep sleep. Nevertheless, he was always the first to greet the morning, especially on important days like today!] No one in the three vast worlds could explain this oddity. They could only say to each other: [It’s because Kurogami Masayuki is the God of Light.])The black-robed monk spoke to Kurogami Masayuki:“Wake your two companions. I want all
What must come, eventually comes. That fateful afternoon had finally arrived. The trial of Snow Sky-Dog was upon him at last! Would he squander the extraordinary and incredible efforts of his brother and his girlfriend? Snow Sky-Dog took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He stood before a monk whose magical power was enough to make a god as brave and resourceful as himself feel anxious and a bit fearful."Snow Sky-Dog, you know the rules of the game, don't you?""I do! I will speak what needs to be said right now!"Everyone fell silent, concentrating intensely on hearing the words Snow Sky-Dog was about to utter. (Hopefully, it wouldn’t be one of those flowery, sweet phrases he often used to flatter and charm the four beautiful maidens he always talked to!)"The essence of a guiding warrior is not in what you're made of bone and flesh; iron or steel; gold or diamond; none of it matters! What matters is what your warrior spirit tells you!""Well then, Snow Sky-Dog, if that’s truly the
Snow Sky-Dog, Kurogami Masayuki, and Mizuchi Haruka stepped into a bedroom with three spacious beds to rest before returning to the Academy of the Gods. But suddenly, Snow Sky-Dog sensed something amiss in the room. Was it his heightened sensitivity, honed by countless moments of peril where his life hung by a thread, or was the room truly not as it seemed? Snow Sky-Dog shouted:“Mice, show yourselves! Do you think I haven’t mastered The Enchantment of Invisibility? Stop lurking in the shadows like cowardly thieves! If you want to fight us, then come out now!”"The Deity of Deception and Cunning" Hokage Masayuki, "The Slayer of God" Raiden Kazama, and The Green-Faced Ashura materialized simultaneously. The eyes of these three fierce butchers were as red as the eyes of bulls driven mad by the torment of matadors.But unexpectedly, the room's door was flung open by a tall, handsome man. This man was none other than the God of War, Shirogami Takeshi.“Snow Sky-Dog, Kurogami Masayuki, and
One morning at the Academy of the Gods – The World of the Gods.“The Progenitor of the Gods” was in his office, his room. Before him stood four young gods who had made significant contributions and played crucial roles in retrieving the sixth magical artifact among the eight most formidable and terrifying artifacts in the vast three worlds.“Snow Sky-Dog, Kurogami Masayuki, Mizuchi Haruka, and Shirogami Takeshi, I have summoned the four mighty gods here today to reveal an important secret concerning the World of the Gods, our world.”“‘The Progenitor of the Gods’, please tell us. We are eager to hear it!” answered the War God Shirogami Takeshi, confidence sparkling in his beautiful eyes.“Listen carefully, you mighty and young gods: The magical artifact you retrieved, the ‘Lamp of the Seven Stars Seizing Lives’, is the only gateway to a path leading to the World of the ‘Former Gods’. The seventh magical artifact is hidden in that world. The ‘Former Gods’ possess incredibly terrifying
It's been over a month since Kurogami Masayuki left the Academy of the Gods to journey to the World of the Former Gods. His absence was deeply felt in the room. Snow Sky-Dog no longer received the teasing remarks from Kurogami Masayuki, which left him feeling sad rather than relieved. Kurogami Masayuki had embarked on an extremely dangerous mission, and it was hard to predict if he would return safely to Snow Sky-Dog and Mizuchi Haruka. Even if he managed to survive and bring back the Cursed Spear to the Academy, it was uncertain whether he would come back unscathed. The magical prowess, ferocity, and eccentricity of the Former Gods were undeniable truths that even the Ancient Gods or New Gods wouldn't waste time debating. It was a well-known fact that the Former Gods possessed terrifying magical powers, making it difficult for anyone to gauge their strength accurately. They were also fiercely aggressive and bizarre. Comparing the strength of a New God to an Ancient God was like compa
Since Kurogami Masayuki left the Academy of the Gods, the lives of Snow Sky-Dog and Mizuchi Haruka had passed quietly, tinged with a hint of monotony. Snow Sky-Dog still regularly dated his four beautiful girlfriends, which included Mizuchi Haruka, yet he seemed to feel the absence of his elder brother, Kurogami Masayuki. (Though Masayuki's care often took the form of half-joking remarks laced with profoundly philosophical advice for Snow Sky-Dog.) The time for Kurogami Masayuki to complete his mission and return to the academy to reunite with his younger brother and sister, Snow Sky-Dog and Mizuchi Haruka, was still far off. Snow Sky-Dog found himself yearning for Kurogami Masayuki in a way that was hard to express with ordinary words. (Even though Snow Sky-Dog was exceptionally skilled with words, using them creatively and subtly to portray the vivid and beautiful colors of his inner kingdom, or to articulate his mood during difficult times like this.) It seemed to be a neutral obse
Today is a significant day for the Academy of the Gods, as well as for the World of the Gods.“Are you ready for this mission, Snow Sky-Dog? This time, the two of us are determined not to let that scoundrel, 'The Deity of Deception and Cunning' Hokage Masayuki, escape from our grasp. But in this plan, I am the one who devised the strategy to capture this dangerous enemy! And I also play the most crucial role in determining the success or failure of this mission! So, if we succeed in capturing 'The Deity of Deception and Cunning' Hokage Masayuki and his accomplices, don't you dare boast to the lecturers and other students in the academy that this is solely your achievement! And don't you dare vie for the rewards from 'The Progenitor of the Gods' with me! Otherwise, I won't consider you my friend anymore!""I understand, Fire Deity Hinokagami no Kami! You play the most crucial role in this mission's success. I'm merely an auxiliary player! Does that satisfy you?""Very well! Then take t
