Gaige Feryuson gathered everyone in the living room to discuss whom they should choose for revival. "I have the opportunity to bring someone we lost back to life. The question is, who should we select?" Gaige announced. The room fell silent, except for the children, who were uninterested in the adults' conversation. Gaige gently placed the children on the floor and encouraged them to play on the carpet. He then turned back to his still-stunned family members. "It's quite an offer, isn't it?" he commented, breaking the silence. Anniston, with a quivering voice, interrupted, "C-can't we bring them all back?" His heart raced with a mix of excitement and unease. "Everything comes with a cost," Gaige explained. "Can we offer something of equivalent value to each person's life? Remember, we didn't just lose one family member; we lost nearly half of our loved ones." "What do you mean to provide? Did you offer something in exchange?" Patal asked in concern. Everyone looks intently at Gaige
To transition from being a prey (returnee) to a predator (purger), two requirements must be met. The first prerequisite is consuming the souls of five multiple-lifers, followed by absorbing a spirit. In Gaige's case, he absorbed two spirits—an angel and a purger—although absorbing just one spirit was sufficient. However, the five souls he consumed remained within his body, serving as the foundation for his purging power. Nevertheless, everything, including his complete identity, genes, DNA, skills, and the very essence of his soul, was reset after death and rebirth. Despite retaining his appearance and memories, Gaige could be considered a completely new entity, created by the higher power behind the system. He could now be classified as a purger by birth, much like the children in their family, as the five souls that previously formed the basis of his status as a purger were removed. He and the kids were not sinners, unlike typical purgers who were being punished for various reas
"I want to cry." "I want to cry." "I want to cry." These phrases reverberated in Gaige's mind as he listened to the words of the god before him. Although Lord Lumeire had already asked him to rise, Gaige remained bowed throughout the entire conversation. He was afraid that, when faced with the god assigning him unwanted tasks, he might utter curses. To avoid further trouble, he responded to Lord Lumeire in a passive manner, resembling a robot. "Is there anything you want to ask?" Lord Lumeire inquired. "Nothing, my lord." "Very well, you may now return." Lord Lumeire permited. With a portal aglow, Lord Lumeire opened it. Gaige offered his new god only a brief glance before making a final bow and leaping into the portal. As Gaige disappeared, Lord Lumeire muttered something under his breath. He said, "He truly is a rude child." … … At the temple, just moments before Gaige's return, the priest soulfully chanted prayers with his attendants and the devotees of Lord Lumeire. Gai
Over time, everything undergoes change, but the realm of heaven remains constant. The heavenly realm is the abode of the higher beings, or deities, and the heavenly people. It acts as a nexus connecting the various worlds governed by the gods. The Heavenly Realm was the first to take form, even preceding the existence of the gods, and it has existed eternally. In many aspects, it resembles other worlds, featuring numerous floating structures scattered throughout the realm. These structures bear a resemblance to real-world buildings, including shops, hot springs, villages, houses, and villas. There are also structures on the ground. Like Earth, the realm experiences days and nights, with moons illuminating the skies at night. The Heavenly Realm serves as the foundation for all civilizations across the universe, encompassing all the conveniences of Earth and thus embodying the essence of heaven itself. All its inhabitants, except for the deities, are devoted and industrious, a trait
Andy spent a hundred years helping a human clan build their connections and wealth, ensuring he had someone to rely on for his needs whenever he lost his wealth due to dying and respawning. Each time he came back to life, Andy's primary concern was his combat skills, as he couldn't fast-track his way to leveling up and enhancing his strength. "Are you going into battle again without leveling up first?" the man financing Andy inquired. "Yes, it's more enjoyable this way," Andy replied with a grin. "It seems you've finally found something to amuse yourself." Over the phone, the man's voice sounded young, and in person, he appeared even more youthful. Despite being in his eighties, the man had the appearance of someone in his sixties. When Andy and the man first met, Andy was still a teenager, and only he experienced the normal process of aging. In fact, he had witnessed Andy in various forms—Andy had been a teenage girl, a woman in her fifties, a man in his hundred years, and an in
In the family, it is not only Gaige and Ainspenser who are the sweet and close couple; Eric and Antur have their own honey time too. Even though they don't show their affection to one another in public, everything is intensely hot and rosy when they are alone in bed. "You should improve your stamina more." Eric commented while pounding on Antur. He was moving so roughly that Antur couldn't even reply to him. They were too close to their climax when suddenly they heard a knock. "It's still early in the morning; please quiet down." Phutzafhghuerh said, but he knocked again when Eric and Antur didn't respond to him and resumed what they were doing. "There is a visitor, looking for you, Eric." Eric finally pulled out and went out to talk to Phutzafhghueuh without even covering himself. "What the fuck! Dude, cover up! Ack! You too!" Phutzafhghuerh yelled. He turned around and felt disgusted at seeing someone else's erected dick. He felt like he will need to wash his eyes later for seei
To capture Elisse's attention in the past, Eric Thom had been consumed by an obsession. He became entirely engrossed in his work, solely focused on surpassing the corporation's expectations and earning the approval of his mother. He eliminated their competitors, managed a significant portion of the corporation, and carried out all necessary tasks to gain the support needed to become the successor. However, Eric had experienced a change of heart and priorities. He no longer pursued such superficial goals, but upon hearing that the corporation he had once dedicated his life to was on the verge of collapse, he felt compelled to take action. "Tell me how you can assist me," Eric stated. The living room was located right by the mansion's entrance, leaving Rirru with no opportunity to explore the rest of the residence. Coffee and snacks had already been set up in the living room, awaiting his arrival before he even had a chance to see who had arranged them. Furthermore, Rirru felt like h
As if it were a recurring nightmare, none of them wished to hear the barrier break again because it always heralded trouble. Eric and Antur, taken aback by the sudden appearance of the black pole, rushed to prevent the barrier from shattering. At the same time, Ainspenser, who emerged as soon as the alarm sounded, left the safety of the barrier to confront Andy. "You despicable bastard!" she roared. Wasting no time, she launched an attack the moment she spotted Andy in the air. The memory of her son's death in her arms fueled her fury. "That's the expression I'm eager to see!" Andy greeted. He managed to block Ainspenser's whip without being burned by its fiery assault. Having spent time leveling up, he felt more confident in his ability to engage in a prolonged battle this time. "Die, you bastard, die!" Ainspenser roared, relentlessly striking her whip at Andy. The forest behind them caught fire due to her relentless assault. She showed no signs of fatigue, but her aggression sud
