"Snow Sky-Dog, Snow Sky-Dog, are you awake? Snow Sky-Dog, please wake up!" Mizuchi Haruka tried to rouse Snow Sky-Dog as he lay unconscious outside the "challenge room"."Mizuchi Haruka, I'm awake, stop shaking me! You're being too loud!" Slowly opening his eyes, Snow Sky-Dog greeted Mizuchi Haruka with a charming smile. "Mizuchi Haruka, I've missed you so much. Seeing your beautiful face again brings me such joy!""You're so smooth! All you're good at is flattering me! What about Seraphina Frostwind? You entered this challenge room to gain new magical powers to fight Ryujin Tetsu and protect Seraphina Frostwind, not me, right? What does it have to do with me? Go flatter Seraphina Frostwind instead! Remember Seraphina Frostwind, not me!" Mizuchi Haruka pushed Snow Sky-Dog's arms away, annoyed."Just let me hug you for a moment, Mizuchi Haruka!" Snow Sky-Dog teased, his playful demeanor even carrying a hint of exploitation towards women."How did you feel in that challenge room, Snow S
Kurogami Masayuki, Mizuchi Haruka, do you know who the unfamiliar man who appeared in our midst while we were having breakfast yesterday was?" Snow Sky-Dog asked with a slightly worried tone."He looks a lot like Ryujin Tetsu, but he's not Ryujin Tetsu!" Kurogami Masayuki said, appearing quite calm."Oh, hold on! Ryujin Tetsu belongs to the dragon clan, and that man's face looks a lot like Ryujin Tetsu's. Is it possible that he also belongs to the dragon clan, or that he's related to Ryujin Tetsu?" Mizuchi Haruka curiously asked Snow Sky-Dog, her demeanor looking adorable as she posed the question."Perhaps so, Mizuchi Haruka!" Snow Sky-Dog said as he touched the white skin on Mizuchi Haruka's face. When Snow Sky-Dog touched Mizuchi Haruka's face, a feeling of happiness surged in his heart, spreading throughout his body, stimulating the nerves and neurotransmitters in his brain, and making him feel extremely excited."Stop it right there, playboy Snow Sky-Dog! This is not the time for
In a divine realm tavern, "Steel Dragon" Ryujin Tetsu sat alone, sipping his drink. Lately, he seemed quite content as he had been dating Seraphina Frostwind, the girlfriend of Snow Sky-Dog. He was pleased firstly because Seraphina Frostwind was a very beautiful girl. Ryujin Tetsu was a deity belonging to the dragon clan, a clan with members in all three worlds, especially the world of the gods and the world of youkai. Due to the widespread distribution of this clan, it was very complex across the three worlds. Because this clan was so powerful and widespread across all three worlds, those who ruled in all three different worlds sought the support of this clan. Now, the youkai in the youkai world were busily preparing for rebellion, gearing up for war against the world of the gods. If that youkai managed to draw the dragon clan into the rebellion, the throne of the Lord of the Gods could be shaken. Therefore, even the Lord of the Gods had to respect, even fear a little the power and i
"Why do you sit so still and unmoving like a statue, Snow Sky-Dog?" Kurogami Masayuki asked Snow Sky-Dog. He had seen this many times before. It felt strange to him, and in his mind, there was a hint of admiration for Snow Sky-Dog's special ability. For in all three worlds, creatures with the ability to remain silent, not moving any part of their bodies, and completely still while thinking - just like a statue - were truly rare. A deity with this ability had to possess a calm demeanor, focus, emotional balance, extremely high autonomy, and an understanding of the art of balancing between trying to control and trying to create something while accepting the natural laws of life with peace of mind at a level that surpassed all other deities in the world of gods."Kurogami Masayuki, I am waiting," Snow Sky-Dog replied, that statue-like figure answering Kurogami Masayuki without even a hint of movement."What are you waiting for, Snow Sky-Dog?" Mizuchi Haruka also felt puzzled and curious
"Kurogami Masayuki, Mizuchi Haruka, wake up quickly! It's time for us to take action against that vile Ryujin Tetsu!" Snow Sky-Dog urgently roused his two close friends from their deep slumber. It was now 3 a.m., and they were still sound asleep! They looked so peaceful as if everything was alright! But while they drifted into the world of dreams, the wretched Ryujin Tetsu was on his way to eliminate the owner of the 'Umbrella of Life and Death' to claim this magical artifact for himself."Let me sleep a little longer! It's too early to wake up now, why do we have to set out before dawn has even broken in the sky!" Kurogami Masayuki said as he pulled the comforter tightly around his body. "Why did you wake me up instead of Mizuchi Haruka, Snow Sky-Dog?" Kurogami Masayuki spoke with his eyes still closed. He seemed deliberately unwilling to leave his long and wide bed."Big brother, Kurogami Masayuki, why did you redirect Snow Sky-Dog's waking force towards me? I have nothing to do wit
Despite the continuous efforts of the three young gods, the wretched named Ryujin Tetsu set off to the haunted forest area in the youkai world before them."Is this the haunted forest in the youkai world? This forest doesn't look like its name at all! This forest only scares cowards, not someone like me who dares to wander!"After muttering so in his mind, Ryujin Tetsu headed straight into the heart of the forest. He walked alone like that, ignoring the wandering shadows around him. Perhaps the shadows in this forest had taken the lives of many lost travelers who stumbled into this forest before, yet they dared not harm Ryujin Tetsu. It seemed that these shadows were born from the grudges, anger, and stubbornness of individuals who could not let go of their animosities even after death; but these shadows also recognized Ryujin Tetsu as a god even more ruthless and cunning than themselves; hence the dangerous shadows in this forest only dared to retreat on either side with each step of
"Snow Sky-Dog, our master is calling you to his office for a discussion!" Kurogami Masayuki reminded Snow Sky-Dog in a calm tone. He knew well the reason why their master called Snow Sky-Dog to his office for a talk. If it wasn't because the three of them had defeated Ryujin Tetsu a few days ago, what else could it be?"Snow Sky-Dog, Kurogami Masayuki, how does this umbrella work?" Mizuchi Haruka asked, holding a magical item named "The Umbrella of Life and Death" in her hand."Be careful, Mizuchi Haruka! That umbrella is very dangerous! If you're not careful, it will suck the souls of all three of us!" Snow Sky-Dog exclaimed in horror when he saw Mizuchi Haruka trying to use "The Umbrella of Life and Death." What Snow Sky-Dog said was true! "The Umbrella of Life and Death" is an extremely destructive magical item! If not handled carefully, it can even steal the soul of the user."I was just trying it out for a moment! I'll put it down right now! I won't touch it anymore, are you sati
"What? Did I hear correctly, Kurogami Masayuki? Even you want to be challenged in that incredibly terrifying room?" The Water Deity of the Divine Council was utterly astonished by Kurogami Masayuki's words! He could not believe that a room that instilled such dread in those bold enough to enter it would be requested by his most favored disciple to allow him to step in, challenge himself, and seek out a new magical power."Respected Master, you did not mishear! I, Kurogami Masayuki, the God of Light, respectfully request to face and overcome the challenge in the 'Room of Trials'! I wish to grow stronger! I want to make you proud, dear Master! I aspire to become a deity worthy of being the elder brother of Snow Sky-Dog and Mizuchi Haruka." Kurogami Masayuki spoke with unwavering confidence, his eyes ablaze with the bright light of determination, a rare and radiant light indeed."Have you thought this through, Kurogami Masayuki? If you step into that room, you may never step out. That ro
