Eric's reaction to finding his brother lifeless was devoid of shock or distress. He simply stared at Gaige with profound sorrow, having experienced the loss of family members in the past. The difference was that the eighteen-year-old brother before him played no role in the family business; he was merely a pawn of their mother, a fate more tragic than that of those who had died in service. "Why is my brother not breathing?" Eric asked Patal once more, this time in a calmer tone. Patal remained silent, standing at the door without any intention of answering Eric's question. Eric should have pointed his gun at Patal by now, but instead, he chose to engage in conversation, despite Patal's clear reluctance. Eric knew of Patal's loyalty to their family and was aware of how Patal carried out his duties. However, Patal's concealment of Gaige's death was deeply suspicious. "Tell me. I won't inform Mother if you have a valid reason," Eric implored. "He is not dead, sir," Patal replied. "D
Eric's concern for his only “pure and non-evil sibling”, Gaige, is evident. He not only cares for Gaige's safety but is also determined to unravel the mystery behind Gaige's unique healing powers. In his quest to understand Gaige's power, Eric went to great lengths, even resorting to kidnapping individuals who claimed to possess healing abilities. However, all his efforts proved futile, as none of these individuals could genuinely heal themselves except for his brother. He expanded his research internationally, hoping to find the origin and source of this power, but it yielded no results. With Gaige now lying lifeless, Eric felt the hopelessness of trying to comprehend his brother's powers. But when Antur, the first person he encountered with similar abilities to Gaige, asked for money, Eric saw an opportunity. He was willing to provide the funds in exchange for a favor. "I need time to gather such money, but I want something in return," he proposed.Antur’s eyes immediately gazed at
Gaige gently patted Lisa’s back, but his attention was on the uninvited purger. "Who is he, Lisa?" Gaige asked. Lisa stood up, wiping the side of her eyes, and reported, "Today marks the sixth day you've been asleep. Yesterday, Sir Eric and his girlfriend arrived here due to Madam Ellise’s order." Gaige's ears perked up at the mention of Ellise's involvement with another purger. He had never imagined Ellise would care for more than one purger. Studying the face of the frozen purger, Gaige found it strangely familiar. "Why are you here?" he asked. Unfortunately, he couldn't yet see the overhead name, so he had no clue who the person was. "Do you not remember?" Antur replied, loosening up, though he remained seated on the floor. He brushed his long silver hair with his fingers, careful not to let it touch the carpet. "Remember what? Did we meet before? Ah! Right! Wait?" Gaige's voice shifted from low to high as he remembered Antur. At the same time, he grew perplexed about why he w
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.
Tall, bulky, and daunting was Gaige's original body. Gaige smiled widely as he appeared in a new location with his original body, his 37-year-old commander knight self. The only thing that was not original to him was his vibrant, long scarlet hair. "Is this really my hair now?" he asked himself while examining the silky strands. Gaige expected he would return to his original appearance since the god's house always cleared away all unnecessary and material things from a soul when present in heaven's realm. And yes, because of that, he was completely naked. Although he was proud of his well-built body, he felt a little embarrassed walking around completely naked. "How the hell could angels spend their lives completely naked all the time?" he wondered. "You can't speak about hell in heaven's realm, my child," a voice said suddenly. Gaige instantly dropped to his knees as soon as he recognized the voice of the god who had been supporting him with its blessings. "Long time no see, m
"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
A few weeks ago, when Gaige was deeply engrossed in researching the novel "The Seventh Oath," the very story he had transmigrated into, Axel abruptly burst into his room, disrupting his peace and shattering his concentration. "Boss! Look what I got!" Axel exclaimed with enthusiasm, though Gaige's reply was far from enthusiastic. He lethargically muttered, "Wow, nice. What’s that?" without even sparing a glance for Axel. Undeterred, Axel skipped over to Gaige, waving the item he was so proud of in the air. "This!" Axel's wide smile left Gaige with no option but to entertain him. Gaige accepted the book and examined its cover. "Kings of Kin-Woah! Kim Nery’s book!" The energy that had been sorely lacking in Gaige suddenly surged after reading the author's name. However, his excitement was short-lived as Axel promptly snatched the book away. "What! Give me that!" Gaige protested, thinking that Axel wouldn't give it up without some reward. But Axel's intentions were quite different;
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
