“Aaaah!”

“Save people!”

“Please help!”

An ear-piercing scream.

Humans running away from death.

In the end, death was just around the corner and all they could do was pray with both hands.

“Oh.. God..”

To God who created this situation.

And of course the result.

-Quad!

It was death.

Even until yesterday, it wasn’t like this.

There were so many gods that Eros noticed that they were using humans as playthings.

They didn’t try to kill humans.

They just like to trample.

But now, what is this chaos?

Who did this?

-crrr

Next to Eros, who was looking around blankly.

A demon with a lot of human blood on the corners of its mouth approached and opened its mouth.

-pop!

However, the demon stopped breathing without even realizing that he was dying.

Blood splattered everywhere as he touched his head, but it could not stain Eros’ body.

Eros looked at the helpless fallen demon.

Before I knew it, I could see that the screaming around me had stopped.

And that demons surround him.

“…”

Why?

For the first time in a corner of my heart.

A feeling of irritation arose.

Is it because of demons trying to rush in without even knowing the topic?

Or is it because humans are dead?

I don’t know the exact reason.

-Whaaah!

The cloudiness in the surrounding air changed.

The demons, who felt something was wrong with him, stopped their approaching steps.

It was already too late.

“Die.”

The demons pointed to by Eros’ fingertips.

It turned into a handful of ash and was scattered on the floor.

Like a sand castle being swept away by sea water.

Unable to resist, the demons faced death.

*

“Hey.. are you okay..?”

Eirene, who returned to the God Realm again, knocked on the tightly closed door of Eros’ residence and asked.

But of course.

There was no answering voice coming from across the street.

The fact that the gods unleashed demons to slaughter humans was something that even Eirene had not expected.

and.

Eros’ reaction now.

Knock a few more times.

Eirene returns to her residence, leaving behind Eros, who says nothing.

Eros, knowing that she was gone, opened his eyes inside his dwelling.

A place so dark that you can’t tell if your eyes are open or still closed.

Eros’ hands were shaking like a smoker going through withdrawal.

She did it for the first time yesterday.

I witnessed something called ‘death’ and experienced something called ‘death’.

Take a breath.

eat something

The sight of a living being looking at the world dying.

Even if I close my eyes, I won’t forget it.

also.

The feeling I felt for the first time then.

Even though it was a negative emotion called irritation, it was like a cup of water to my dry heart.

Of course, one cup did not relieve my dry heart.

The more I yearned for that feeling.

I can’t even do the things I usually do when I have nothing to do.

My mind was filled with only the chaos of that time and the peaceful human world of the day before.

So, is there any other way?

“…”

Alone, not with Eirene.

Headed to the human world.

And there.

“What are you doing in a daze? Run away quickly!”

I met a human male.

*

After arriving in the human world, I stared blankly at the devastated landscape.

The demons didn’t show up because they were chasing the humans.

Human corpses were strewn everywhere.

He lowered his body and looked at the dead human with a shocked expression.

Just staring at you without saying anything.

Suddenly, something began to glow in the man’s chest.

Eros, startled, jumped up from his seat.

Other corpses were also exhibiting the same strange phenomenon.

The entire area was bathed in bright light, and when it faded a little, I opened my eyes.

Something in the shape of a sphere emitting light was floating above the corpse.

That too for a while.

The light balls sank to the ground and disappeared.

Eros was staring blankly at the place where the light had disappeared at a sight he had neither heard nor seen.

and.

It was then.

That man is human.

When I first met Jeong Yong-ha.

“What are you doing in a daze? Run away quickly!”

Eros frowned as he watched the man shouting loudly.

A human being who orders him, the god of the beginning, to run away because demons are dangerous.

“.. Ugh.. Someone close to me died there..?”

In the end, I just stayed still and didn’t move.

Jeong Yong-ha seemed to have decided to appease him and came closer.

Even as he came closer, Eros took a step back without realizing it.

Then his movements faltered and stopped.

“Keuhm.. There are people gathered over there. Let’s go there.”

“…”

“.. You seem to be thinking strangely.. Those people are not like that. They are all nice people.”

Did he think he was scared?

If it were any other god, it might have felt humiliating, but Eros didn’t seem to dislike it.

As I was walking away from Jeong Yong-ha, who could neither approach nor leave him alone, I heard the devil’s growl.

It was a very small sound, but the surroundings were so quiet that it must have reached Jeong Yong-ha’s ears, as a deep sense of disappointment appeared on his face.

“Come quickly!”

He turned around and tried to run away, but when he saw Eros still walking away, he grabbed his wrist.

It was simple curiosity.

Until then.

So Eros did not shake off his hand.

Together we ran away from the devil.

-Grrr.

“Phew.. Phew.. I’m glad..”

Is it because of him sweating profusely?

I was able to enter the collapsed building without being detected.

Even if I had encountered it, it wouldn’t have mattered since it was a demon that wasn’t even a threat.

I didn’t want it to be revealed to him that he was a god.

I don’t know why, but I just wanted to.

“This isn’t the place I mentioned, but… let’s just avoid here until those monsters disappear.”

“…”

Eros nodded without saying anything.

Jeong Yong-ha responded with a lonely smile and took off his outer clothes, probably because it was hot.

They spent some time sitting on what seemed to be a sofa, keeping their distance from each other.

The time passed without saying a word, but it passed faster than ever.

*

“Eros? Is something good happening?”

“.. I don’t know.”

Eros is strange these days.

To be exact, since I returned from my trip to the human world that day.

Just seeing Eros, who had only a small amount of emotion, smile like that was enough to make him fall backwards in surprise.

Eirene, who was wondering if something had happened that she didn’t know about, decided to secretly spy on her.

If it had been his usual Eros, he would have immediately noticed her clumsy behavior.

Now it was urgent to return to the human world.

If he wakes up and realizes that he is gone, he may be in trouble again like last time.

It’s already been a month since I secretly went down to the human world alone.

All this time, he was hiding his identity as a god well and living with the humans there.

Of course, I have to show my face in the divine world, so I have to come back at night when everyone is sleeping.

Unlike when I first saw it.

Humans were very unique.

Everyone thinks of their own.

Sometimes selfish and sometimes altruistic.

There was no clear distinction between good and evil.

My curiosity grew day by day as they looked similar yet different from gods.

What other interesting things will happen today?

Eros smiled without her knowledge and approached the human world.

And that day.

-Grrr!

The demons’ attack began.

All humans learned that she was a god.

Even to him who definitely wanted to hide it.

*

What happened after that was a natural result.

Unlike back then, when they lived together, they now tried to support Eros.

Unlike other gods who enjoy it.

Eros has no choice but to leave there.

To be precise, I had no choice but to watch from afar.

“…”

I’m bored.

And after a while.

I felt so awkward thinking that way.

As he lived with humans, he was hit and hit and hit and run and did not realize that he was different.

but.

After having some alone time again, I was able to understand.

I had no choice but to admit it.

The fact that he likes humans.

The time I spent with them.

It was the brightest moment in an eternity of life.

He wanted to immediately erase the fact that he was a god from their minds.

but.

If that were the case, he would be no different from any other god.

And the fact that he is God.

It was positioned as a ray of hope for them.

That alone is enough…

enough…

Around this time, I was holding down a part of my aching heart with my eyes tightly closed.

A familiar voice came from right in front of me.

“.. I’m finally back.”

“…?”

In front of Eros, who opened his closed eyes.

Jeong Yong-ha, who first brought her to the village, was there.

I couldn’t understand.

In a space where only God can exist.

I’m looking down at them, who are humans, but why is he in front of me?

Eros looked around in surprise and realized that he had descended into the human world.

Jeong Yong-ha looks at her like that and smiles at her with the smile he saw when they first met.

He held out one hand.

“Let’s go back. Everyone is waiting.”

Eros looked blankly at Jeong Yong-ha’s outstretched hand and face.

She nodded with the brightest smile of her life.

“Yes..!”

That’s it.

It was two years before he died.

And the day before he died.

A huge lightning strike in the sky that could be called a disaster.

struck down at him.
