In the dimly lit, abandoned warehouse, the couple stood facing each other, the air heavy with tension. Gaige couldn't help but let out a sigh at Ainspenser's reaction, but he could also empathize with her."You'll be my wife in this world," Gaige said to Ainspenser. What Gaige said sounded romantic and sweet, but to Ainspenser, it carried the implication that if they were not in this world, he might find someone else. "Earth doesn't allow polygamy," she reminded him, which made Gaige laugh even more. "I know about that. We're even going to make a vow. So what are you scared of?" Gaige said. "I'm not scared," she denied. "Fine. So is that all you're curious about?" Gaige asked. "No. Why did you kill her after seeing her here?" Ainspenser inquired. "Who?" Gaige asked. "That woman!" she clarified. Gaige's bitter smile returned. He gazed into Ainspenser's peculiarly colored iris before saying, "That wasn't Bettine. That person was another returnee—an ability user type. I suspect t
"Are you leaving me?" Gaige asked in a melancholic tone. His face contorted as though he were struggling not to cry, but this expression was not for Ainspenser. He hugged his son, who was still so tiny in his arms, trembling in fear that, once again, another child of his would leave him. "He will become a slave in heaven too," he thought internally, deeply disapproving of his son's ascension, which would likely turn him into a cherubim serving the gods for eternity. He didn't want that fate for his child, nor did he want him to become a mere work machine. "I-I'll find a way not to ascend!" Ainspenser exclaimed as she panicked at seeing Gaige in such a state. It was ironic, considering that for half her life, she had worked hard to rank up so she could ascend. But everything had taken a different turn after meeting Gaige. "How?" Gaige asked, gently patting Lambert as he had been awakened by Ainspenser's loud voice. "I don't know yet, but I will make sure the three of us stay togethe
"Why are you so low on energy?" Patal asked, his concern apparent as he observed Gaige leaning his head against the window, seemingly lost in thought. He wondered if Gaige was feeling saddened by their departure from the home they had worked so hard to build. "Don't mind me," Gaige replied, dismissively waving his hand. Contrary to Patal's assumption, Gaige was feeling drained from all that had transpired over the past few days. Ainspenser had become increasingly excited about their wedding, and his son was occupied with matters contrary to what was written on his system. "Alright, just let me know if you need anything. Axel and the others still need time to load everything onto the truck," Patal said. The entire building had been emptied. They had rented three trucks, two vans, and one car for their journey to Litongan town in Aogrive country. This was one of the reasons Gaige felt drained. "What's wrong, papa?" Lambert asked, sitting comfortably beside his father in the backseat
In a small rural town of Aogrive, a peculiar family had chosen to build a small mansion, nestled in the middle of a forest, away from urban life. The two people behind the construction of this home stared out from the mansion's window, each wearing a different expression. "Hey, Ainspenser," Gaige called. "Yes?" Ainspenser replied sweetly. She looked highly pleased at the view they could see from the balcony of their room. However, Gaige's frown deepened as Ainspenser's expression brightened. "How much did you spend on all of this?" Gaige asked, crossing his arms. Ainspenser didn't answer his question but instead shifted the topic, pointing at random things in their front yard. Gaige didn't actually need to hear Ainspenser's response, as it was quite obvious that she had spent a considerable amount of money preparing for their wedding. Yesterday, they had arrived at the small mansion that Gaige had bought six years ago. Their move into their new home had gone smoothly. But today, w
Today was the wedding day, and everything had been meticulously organized and planned. However, the groom and the bride seemed to have their own way of making things go awry. Patal commented, "I think you messed up the order," as he fixed Gaige's hair. On the other side, Lisa was busy ironing Gaige's clothes. "Do I?" Gaige replied with a wide smile. "Yes, the honeymoon should come after the wedding." "Well, I already got it backward since I had a son first," he proudly said, which only elicited sighs from the two of them. Fifteen minutes before the wedding ceremony was set to begin, the groom and the bride were still not ready because they couldn't resist being playful at such times. The system that Gaige had thought would help them had actually betrayed them. Nevertheless, the couple remained in high spirits, even though everyone else was panicking due to their tardiness. "See, we made it on time," Gaige casually said, despite the exhausted expressions of everyone around them.
Gaige felt like the chaos at his wedding was some sort of déjà vu, as if it had happened before. However, as he came to understand that this was not déjà vu but rather his karma, he couldn't help but grin. Observing Ainspenser, who was still under Ellise's spell, he muttered, "The main characters must want me to experience this too." Outside, Ellise was causing havoc while the priest continued the hour-long wedding ceremony. This effort might be futile if Ainspenser couldn't even say her own wedding vow. Despite the chaos, Gaige was not acting in vain. As he saw his window stat appear in front of him, he held onto hope for a favorable outcome.

Gaige Feryuson decided to rely on the Akashic Record. With some hesitation, he activated this system feature, and almost immediately, the Akashic Record blurted out words that were entirely unnecessary for his needs. The record said, [The idiom "A crane in a flock of chickens" is used to describe someone who stands out or is outstanding in a particular group or setting. This phrase paints a vivid picture of a tall, graceful crane surrounded by a large flock of ordinary chickens, symbolizing a person's exceptional appearance, abilities, or talents that make them prominent among those around them.] "Woah. The Akashic record is dramatic too." Gaige commented when words echoed inside his head as soon as the search result for the Akashic records appeared. Gaige was bored listening to such flowery words. Only when Ellise is finally mentioned in the records does it become interesting. [Ellise, the prideful princess of a demonic red wolf pack, ultimately the "crane" among the ordinary chick
The narrative of the Akashic Record abruptly changed and went in a direction that Gaige didn't want to go in. [Ellise forced a bond on you. She linked your souls together, which the other gods weren't pleased with, so they threw her back to the demon realm.] "I assume they remembered to undo what she did." [Yes. The deities, especially Lord Ydnah, made sure that the bond she tied to you was severed.] "So why does that b*tch go against my wedding vow?" [Ellise returned to the demon realm in great devastation. She not only loses her reputation, but she also loses the first person she loved.] "Scumbag. Ignoring me again." Gaige said. While he performs the wedding rituals, he is fully adjusting to how to communicate with the akashic record inside his head. He even checked Ainspenser's breathing first before he helped her do her part in the ritual. Meanwhile, Gaige was unsurprised to learn that one of his previous lives was as a god. He is a multiple-lifer; whatever he was in his pa
