“I’ll just go back now.”

“···That’s right.”

I got up and went back to the door I came in from.

Sigh───

The hinges click and the door opens.

However, the scenery when entering and leaving was different.

“······.”

Because all twelve servants, either old or new, were gathered together.

Everyone looks at me in silence.

I passed them by without saying a word.

How far did it go that way?

“I can help you meet your father.”

Stand tall─

The dragon’s horse holds my feet.

‘Will you let me meet my father?’

My father passed away.

The new father born somewhere in this world right now is not my father.

“My father passed away.”

-While you were tricking me into going through this ordeal.

I turned around and glared at the servants.

I wanted to swear. Normally, I would have shot him or gotten angry.

“···How did you deceive people with such a calm face?”

“I love my father as much as you love your father…!”

Hell has emerged from within the stigma.

Those who have lost their families join me in glaring at the servant.

“The fear and pain you must have felt-! I never thought someone would feel the same way───!”

Even though my heart was boiling, I was speechless.

Because my father protected the servants and Maal.

Because my giant is watching me by my side.

“······.”

─Courtesy, duty, and patience.

A person must have these three things.

This is something my father used to say.

Whenever alcohol was involved, the meaning was always explained.

─Courtesy is a social characteristic that must be shown to others, and is what distinguishes humans from beasts.

─Dori is the sunny path that a person should walk.

─Patience is the bitterest medicine that makes a person mature and strong.

-Anything other than that is incidental and not essential to life.

Some may say it’s a bullshit philosophy, but I think it’s correct.

Because my father was my giant.

─My.

but···.

“···You are human too, right?”

Respect and love your parents.

So, shouldn’t people do this to each other?

I wanted to hear some answer.

I did it if there was a convincing, justifiable reason.

Still, they don’t say a word.

Just looking at him with guilty eyes.

My heart grew cold and disillusionment seeped into my heart.

Hell must have felt the same way about Maal.

I turned around and walked away without saying a word.

I considered Dantalian a friend.

But it wasn’t.

It was just for me because I was weighed down by guilt.

─Maybe even those tears.

“Pfft!”

He was very humane from beginning to end.

Because as soon as I was no longer one of their own, they slandered me and tried to kill me.

‘You said you were happy to be with me.’

What did it feel like?

It feels like a weapon is being thrown from behind, and a friend is smiling and hugging me.

[We understand you.]

Indeed, it seems that losers tend to get along with each other.

[You are still a human being worth understanding.]

“Same goes for you.”

I gathered my thoughts and headed to the place I first arrived.

Whether you live in heaven or hell is up to you to decide.

‘Father, please watch over me.’

‘Because I will create a world so happy that those idiots will feel empty.’

When I close my eyes like that.

I can feel the water touching my skin.

I walked out of the nymph’s lake.

Everyone was looking at me as if asking why I came back.

“Huh? Did you leave something behind?”

“···I was kicked out.”

“Yes?”

I walked out of the water, rinsing off the flowing water.

Anne responded with a smile as she looked at him with confusion.

“I asked why the world was so bad, but stupid things always blame themselves.”

“You crazy guy! What if I really said that?!”

Lexi is scared and opens her eyes wide.

I’m very happy to see that.

‘Of course I like people who smile.’

The wives will too.

So, let’s smile so that the ladies can smile too.

“Well, that’s the one that had business. If you are disappointed, you will find it on your own.”

“It’s disrespectful.”

“Are you really crazy?”

While the wives are scolding me.

Isabel─ Only Dantalian looks at me in silence.

‘thanks.’

For protecting my father until the end.

Like my father said, it was all my choice.

I hope my sister and mom can help me as well.

‘I’ll take care of your work here too.’

Dantalian nodded with a smile.

“Yes. Let’s go quickly.”

Dantalian holds out his hand to me.

I held his hand.

“Yes. Now let’s go home.”

Shir’s ears prick.

Then he looked around, looked at his surroundings, and looked at me.

“···I hear a strange sound from the island.”

“Sinking.”

Shir gave me an incomprehensible look.

“Why? What did you do when you went in? Is it submerged?”

“For some reason you got very angry at my question.”

“What?! Just that?!”

“I guess I was proud. So much so that I get angry.”

Everyone knows it’s a lie, but the island is sinking.

We quickly boarded our ship.

The liquefied land was swallowing the ship like a swamp.

But even for a moment.

Soon water begins to rise from the ground.

To be exact, the island is sinking.

Soon the island sank, leaving only the boat with many people left floating on the sea.

All the demi-humans in the Inner Demon World had embarrassed expressions.

Because the place where they lived sank beneath the sea.

Soon, the shape of the island and even the air bubbles disappeared.

The shipyard foreman blew a huge wooden boat horn.

Buuu─────!

To the sound of the horn, the boats begin to unfurl their sails one by one.

Rexi controlled the wind with the power of Mercurius, pushing back hundreds of ships.

“So, what happened?”

“Nothing happened.”

But Seth did not back down.

As expected of an independent child, he is clueless.

Moreover, everyone was glancing at me.

“I can tell just by looking at the expression. The judging was messed up.”

“Well, my image of the Creator has kind of collapsed.”

“Maal? What kind of person were you?”

“It looked like a human. ···Like other servants.”

Finite and wandering.

“···He was just a human.”

Creator.

* * * * * *

A million people showed up from across the ocean.

Moreover, there is a race that has never existed on Pangea!

It was natural for Horus to be overturned.

All kinds of dragonia from the Magic Tower and scholars from the Great Engineering Academy.

Even the royal family made an appearance.

Seth was running around trying to resolve this whole situation.

But my role ends here.

“Don’t fail.”

I looked up at the prophet.

He just nodded silently.

It was a long trip.

Edeline headed to the Magic Tower in the hope of meeting Rohan as soon as possible, even if only for a minute.

Lexi, Shir, and Isabelle all have things to do.

Anne was also seen to be suffering from fatigue, so she was sent to Isabel.

and.

A woman with a spherical face walks towards me from the shore.

“I heard it from my father. They say they want to set up a totem.”

A woman who resembles Ceres.

It was the nameless Mother God who had awakened from her sleep.

She looked around at me as if she had found something unusual.

“Yes.”

“What totem do you want to build?”

“I want a totem that gives people the gift of the power of interpretation.”

The first dream I ever had.

“···Yes?”

“I hope all Ajin people can communicate without barriers.”

Mother Earth hesitates and looks at me.

Then, looking at me, he reluctantly opened his mouth.

“···Language diversity will disappear.”

“Language contains the culture and emotions of that race, but if you do something like that…”

Even as Mother Earth speaks, she looks away and avoids my gaze.

Still, I glanced and smiled awkwardly for a moment.

“Isn’t it possible…?”

“That is something for future generations to take care of.”

“Yeah, right?! But… well… then, how about putting a limit on the period…?!”

Why is the servant shaking so much?

I felt like I was becoming anxious for no reason.

“···That’s right.”

From the beginning, all I wanted to do was to make people recognize each other as human beings.

“Actually. Well… it’s been a while since I woke up, and I want to stop sleeping… so…”

The farther back Ji Mosin spoke, the quieter it became, and eventually it became unheard.

It was also sad to see him hesitate.

It means that he fell into a deep sleep in return for taking care of the world.

“It can be a simple tree that does not cultivate the land.”

“···Yes?”

“If they are friendly, people will cut them down, but if they are good, they will cultivate them.”

In the end, the difference lies in how future generations perceive it.

Maybe in the future we may only use the language and writing of one country.

“I want to build a school and ensure that children receive compulsory education.”

“···So, I hope we can talk to each other at least at school where the children grow up.”

I plan to build a school right in the center of Pangea.

A school where everyone can learn and attend equally and for free.

“···Is that okay?”

Mother Earth had her eyes wide open.

“Yes. That’s enough.”

It was as if he was looking at some kind of star.

Soon, the Earth Mother God put her hands together as if praying, and a small cluster of light bloomed between her palms.

As the halo of light disappears, hands spread out to both sides.

The thing I was holding above was a fruit about the size of my finger.

The Mother Goddess gives me fruit.

“Please treat it with respect. It’s a simple tree that dies when cut.”

“I will.”

I took the fruit and stuffed it into my leather bag.

“How do I store it?”

“Plant when you want. Then I will take care of it.”

Mother Earth smiled without any dignity, like a child.

“Thank you.”

I bowed to her and then turned around.

“Huh? Are you going already?”

“Yes. My ‘wife and children’ are waiting at home.”

The women are listening and the father is watching.

Whether it was a servant or a servant, he couldn’t be alone with a woman.

“Then let’s go together.”

“Yes? Is it my house?”

“It’s been a long time since I woke up, and I’m curious about how the world has changed.”

Mother Earth approaches me with a smile and light steps.

I had no choice but to move towards the magic tower.

‘What is this situation?’

Walking down the street with a servant?

Fortunately, no one recognized her identity.

but.

“Please, I want you to sprinkle that snowflake fertilizer on the field?”

“I’m putting in my effort here and there, but it’s really killing me. Especially Diana’s totem!”

“Really because of that ridiculously large tree!”

“And ouroboros, that pig───!”

How many words.

“What do humans usually eat?”

“I like eating even though I don’t need to eat.”

“I’m also sorry. The children who get eaten must be very sick.”

She spewed out a variety of words in a distracted manner, like a child.

How far did we get by just roughly matching each other?

“I don’t know much because I’m the type of person who only adds strength, but my father said he’s reached his limit.”

‘Now let’s get to the point.’

I glanced at Mother Earth.

Ji Mosin, who made eye contact with me, was startled and avoided my gaze.

Still, he glanced at me and continued talking.

“We are accepting souls to ease the burden on our father.”

“So?”

“···The idols and personalities of the Ajin people seep into us.”

“So what, your personality has worsened?”

“So, yes… ···My personality has changed.”

Mother Earth, who had been hesitating, eventually sighed.

“My younger siblings are especially obsessed with perfection. It wasn’t like that before.”

“What do you want to say?”

“What I mean is… it wasn’t intentional. You know how the soul works, right?”

Of course I know.

How does that erode a person’s unconsciousness?

“I’m not trying to make excuses. It’s just that it was like this…”

But it wasn’t bad.

Heaven is a happy place, not a beautiful place.

The closer they become to humans, the more they will realize what heaven truly is.

“······Because we are human too.”

Silence came over the confession, which was almost a taboo.

We walked away without saying a word.

How far did it go that way?

The silence continued until we arrived at the Magic Tower.

But that’s it.

“I understand.”

Maal said he chose twelve people he cared about.

In other words, the essence of servants is ultimately human.

“So, I would like you to stop at this point.”

Because I am a married man who puts family first.
