Chapter 388:

~South Korea, Seoul, a villa next to a university~

"Phew...I'm tired."

After a long day of work, I returned to my dorm room, washed up, and sat down on my bed.

With so many things to do these days, the day goes by so quickly.

Normally, after a long day like this, I would fall asleep reading my favorite manga, which I have almost memorized.

...Today, I was so tired, I decided to just sleep.

I'll see what I have to do tomorrow...

‘Senior Da-in, you have to come.'

I'll have to stop by there tomorrow...

I smirked at the thought and slowly drifted off to sleep.

I felt as if my body had become heavier and then I seemed to have a strange dream.

‘I'm .......Please. Here......Hey!'

‘...The boat! Senior! No...'

‘...Hey! ...Ah.'

After waking up.

"....What is it?"

Feeling a little heavier, I stood up.

Something's giving me a headache.

...Wait.

"What..."

...I find myself waking up in an empty, white space.

What the hell, where am I, I surely slept in my own bed the night before?

As I was looking around, questioning my surroundings I realized that there was someone standing in front of me, looking at me.

"...Who are you?"

Standing a few feet away from me was a slender, blonde woman, dressed in a white cloth, smiling at me.

"...Hello, my child."

It was my first meeting with the Star God.

***

"...What is it, Da-in?"

I was lost in the past for a moment, but Seo-Eun's question brought me back to reality.

Everyone was sitting in the living room, facing me, because I had called them all together to tell them something important today.

Starting with Soobin, who was standing on one side and looking at me worriedly, Choi Se-hee and Seo Ja-young sitting in the living room watching me, Ha-yul sitting in front of me, and Seo-eun and Eun-woo sitting right next to me, looking at me.

...and from the other side of the living room, Shinryong, who's leaning back and watching me silently, and Mr. Desik, who's standing there in his apron.

All of the members of the Egostream were here, except for Ariel, who was still being held by Atlas, and Halo, who was sealed away just in case.

They were all looking at me, waiting for me to say something.

And so, I looked at each and every one of them.

Quietly, I chose my words.

‘...Any moment now, the Sun God will pronounce his judgment.’

To avoid confusion at that time, it would be fitting to inform my own family.

And considering how chaotic and hectic things will be after the declaration of destruction, and what might happen in the final battle.

‘...Now would be a good time to tell them my truth.’Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

I thought silently to myself.

My secret. That I was from another world, and that I had been given powers by the God of the Stars.

To clear up any doubts they may have had about me here and now, so that we can move forward as one, united. I was going to say all of this

‘...'

Honestly, it's an excuse...

‘Just.'

Because after the battle, I might not be around to tell them.

I said.

They didn't seem too surprised, as I had already announced the existence of God many times before.

So I began to describe the three gods in more detail.

Hellios, the sun god.

Ărlūna, the moon god.

Sīdus, the god of the stars.

The three gods who created this world.

"In the distant past, they ruled the world."

Helios gave people special powers.

Ărlūna gave people magic.

Sīdus, gave love to all.

"...But this didn't last long, for there was a feud among the gods."

Perhaps because the Sun God wanted to destroy all humans.

...The God of the Stars, who loved humans more than anyone else, stood in his way, and after a long battle, finally succeeded in driving the Sun God away.

Even here on Earth, she created a great intangible circle of cognition that separated the world from them.

The result,

Helios was banished to the Otherworld.

Ărlūna, the Moon God, who was said to be neutral from the beginning, soon left for his own world.

Sīdus, the god of the stars, who was gravely wounded in a confrontation with the sun god, disappeared.

And now.

"...So, the Sun God is coming to destroy the world again?"

"Uh."

"But...Then how are we going to stop him? He's a god, and he's coming to destroy us himself..."

Seo-eun said that with a worried expression.

I chuckled and said to her.

"Don't worry too much. God can't use his full power here."

To be clear, God's body cannot directly descend into this world. They can only come in human form, in the form of an incarnation. They're on different planes.

And Helios would be greatly weakened by his battle with the Star God... The Star God has placed barriers in this dimension.

"There is only one chosen one who can fight the Sun God himself and stop him."

I started to say, but stopped myself.

The one chosen to fight and defeat the Sun God, that's Stardus.

...But should I say her name here? I don't think the members of the Egostream are particularly fond of Stardus...

Still, I can't hide the truth.

I said with a small sigh, worried about the reaction.

"...And it is Stardus, like me, who has been chosen by the God of the Stars to save this world."

And the reaction to these words...was a little different than I expected.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"As expected."

At my mention of Stardus, Choi Se-hee, who had been silent until now, smiled in response.

"I see. So the reason you've cared about Stardus all this time is simply because you need her to save the world?"

Umm.

No. It's more like she's my favorite.

I didn't say that, of course, and soon the women of Egostream were nodding and coming to their own conclusions.

"Yeah, I guess so. Otherwise, there's no way you'd be interested in a girl like that."

"Yeah. Wasn't that why you were running her fan cafe, to get information..."

‘....'

After hearing those words, I decided to keep quiet.
