On a new day, early in the morning, Adam felt strange sleeping in the same bed as the stranger he had just met. The bed he slept in was also made of teak wood. The bed looked worn and old. He slowly sat up for a moment and tried to focus. Every bone and muscle in his body ached. He didn't know that the side effects of using Jager's power could be that severe. "Why is it so quiet?" Adam walked out of the house. As he opened the door, he was mesmerized by the sight of the cornfield that he could see more clearly than last night."Wow!"The air was also clean and fresh. This was the first time in his life he felt so grateful. The blue sky with few clouds, the morning sun on the eastern horizon, the luxurious view of the cornfields, Adam felt like he was vacationing in a piece of heaven. "Are you awake?" Ryan greeted. He carried some gardening tools in both hands."What are you doing?" Adam approached him. "The corn will be harvested soon. I'm just checking whether there are any pests
"Then make a deal with him. You can't just take over that young man's body. We have rules to follow." Malachiel didn't like his friend using Ryan's body as a vehicle to fight the Ordogs. He wanted his friend to abide by the rules of heaven. "Alright, I understand! I'll make a deal with him. Are you satisfied?!" Heliel returned to Ryan's body. The two of them swapped positions again. But before Ryan could take over his body again, Heliel brought him to a space dimension. The space dimension or pocket dimension was a place created by the Paladins in between the real dimension and also the host's mind dimension. It was like the human subconscious, but real and existed within the host. Heliel asked Ryan to make a contract with him. He was rather pushy with the young man. The explanation Heliel gave to his host was also not very clear. Whereas Malachiel had previously given Adam a second chance by appearing charismatic, polite, sincere, and very friendly, Heliel was the opposite. He was
"Hey, come with me after work." One of the employees approached Adam. He and the others looked annoyed when they saw the young man. Adam, who didn't understand what they meant, agreed. When office hours arrived, he went with his coworkers to an alley not far from the office. He had no idea why they had brought him there. "What's wrong? Why are we stopping here?" Adam asked them. There were five people standing in front of him at the moment. One of them was the one who talked to him before the bell went off. He came up to Adam with a serious look. Adam seemed to step back until his body touched the wall behind him. "Are you a sycophant?""You dare to flirt with Elena?!" Adam didn't understand what his friend was saying. He had never once flirted with Elena; the sexy woman who was the manager of his office."Liar!""You had dinner with her, right?!"Adam was getting more and more clueless. He might have had dinner with her, but it was for work reasons. "I only had dinner with her
When the business with the black creatures out there wasn't over, he had to get another problem in the afterlife."Am I dead?""Are you an angel?"Adam felt confused. The place he visited seemed to be on earth, but the atmosphere he felt was like being in another dimension. "Just answer my question. Do you want to come back to life and take your revenge?" The creature continued to press him. "How can I go back?" He could only stare at the creature."I will come with you. The explanation will come later after we return to your world." the creature whispered into Adam's ear with a smile. Snap! The snap of his fingers made everything between the two of them into an infinite white room. Adam was surprised by the change. The creature in front of him suddenly transformed back into a luminous figure that shone so brightly. If you could imagine the black creature before, then the creature in front of Adam right now was the light version."Before we go back, there's something you should kn
Using teleportation, Paladin brought Adam near a dimensional portal. The portal was located at the site of a national monument. But unfortunately, the portal destroyed the national monument without leaving a trace. And the portal was the cause of all the disasters that occurred. The diameter of the portal was as high as the national monument. It was about 550 meters tall. It was shaped like a circle with a bluish-white shell of energy in the center. If you're used to seeing dimensional portals in science fiction games or movies, that's what the portal in front of Adam looked like. Everything around the portal looked destroyed. There were so many ruins of buildings scattered around. Plus, there were several humans who seemed to be approaching the portal. "So this is the portal?""Cool, right?""Do you want to admire it or close it?""Both."Paladin saw several people walking from different directions. They were heading towards the portal. He realized that they were humans shaded by
"King?!" Adam was startled. He turned his head quickly towards the Paladin. "Adam, from now on you must fight alone. I will only stay inside your body. The Paladins are not allowed to join in attacking the Ordogs. You must fight them with your own strength." The Paladin felt it was time for him to say goodbye. He would return to Adam's body and serve only as an observer. "Wait a minute! Then what about me? Am I supposed to kill those creatures with my bare hands?" Adam felt confused. The paladin had given him no choice. He doubted himself. He doubted if he could defeat those creatures. The paladin didn't just walk away from him. He gave Adam the knowledge of his powers. Each Paladin is endowed with their own special powers. It was that power that could be used by humans who were chosen to become Jagers—Ordog hunters. "Take a good look at my power. When we join again, your body will understand me. Every experience and memory I have will be experienced by you as well. It's like we s
The swing of the black trident, which was as large as a 400-meter lighthouse, sent the Jagers flying. The wind caused by the swing of the trident made the dust around the portal billow upwards. As the Ordog king swung his trident again, the few people who managed to dodge began to attack him. They created a combination attack to tie up the giant's body. "Hey, tell me how!" Adam tried to think. He was still looking for a way to defeat the Ordog king. "You have to die." Paladin gave the answer. "What do you mean?" Adam was confused. "I will drain my maximum power into your body. Your body will be destroyed, but you will evolve into a being equal to Paladin. Let's call it half-Paladin. With that evolution, you can use up to 80 percent of my power. That's enough to kill him." The Paladin had finished explaining. Adam felt indecisive. He who had just come back to life did not want to die again. Moreover, this time there was no guarantee for him to live again. Paladin left the decision
"This is a gift from me to you. Live once more and stop them the right way. We will meet again when you realize who you really are." Those words always plagued Adam's mind when he slept. Dreams about the war between Ordog and himself, the ruined city, the dimensional portal in the middle of the city, and the glowing figure of a Paladin he did not recognize. All of those things continued to plague Adam for the rest of his life. "Another nightmare?" Someone greeted Adam who was asleep at his desk. "Sorry. These dreams have been coming for the past few years. I don't even know what it means." Adam stretched his neck muscles. After that, he drank the coffee he made last night."Hey, if you think the dream is related to Ordog's first invasion of Earth, then you've lived for a hundred years. You could be a survivor or a time traveler. But, that's not possible." Jonny; Adam's coworker laughed so hard that he forgot about the glass door in front of him. "Ouch!""Who moved the door?!"He w
