Chapter 774: I'm going to rest now? (1)
Mm.
He felt something chilly on his cheek.
Cale slightly tossed and turned after feeling the cool thing on his cheek.
Toss and turn?
Cales mind woke right up.
The last thing he remembered
Both of his cheeks were slapped by the God of Deaths divine item.
And then I fainted.
He had fainted, but he was seated with his face down on a table?
Fuck.
I'm dreaming.
Cale realized that he was still unconscious and that this was either his dream or his subconscious.
I guess you're finally up.
Tap.
Cale heard a familiar voice before he heard something being placed next to him.
Ha.
Cale let out a short sigh before opening his eyes. He slowly raised his body to see that his cheek had been on a glass tabletop.
He raised his head to see a typical office setting. It was quite similar to an office Cale had seen in a drama when he was still Kim Rok Soo.
There were cabinets and all sorts of office equipment you would normally see in a company office. However, there were only two desks here; the one Cale was seated at and the slightly bigger desk opposite Cale that seemed to be for a superior.
I cant see outside.
All of the windows had black curtains closed so that he could not look out.
Cale looked down.
He could smell a sweet fragrance coming from the mug.
This was obviously hot cocoa.
Cale looked up again and turned to the side. His mouth opened and a casual voice flowed out.
God?
The owner of the familiar voice, the God of Death, gently shrugged his shoulders.
Youre talking so informally to me.
He then nodded his head as if he understood.
I guess you have no reason to speak nicely to me.
Cale looked up at the person standing next to him and looking down at him before starting to speak.
This is unexpected.
His eyes slowly took in the God of Death's appearance.
Is this your true appearance?
What?
The God of Death chuckled. He mischievously responded to Cale, who was looking at him as if this truly was unexpected.
This is how I look when I work. Did you expect something extremely holy or whatnot?
No.
Cale seemed very shocked as he was unable to hide his emotions as he responded.
You look more normal than I expected.
The God of Death looked at Cale as if he was at a loss for words. However, Cale didn't care about his gaze at all and openly observed the God of Death.
The man in front of him was over 190 cm tall and was wearing a sweater and khakis that made Cale think of Earth. The God of Deaths white hair, bronze skin, muscular body, and black eyes seemed truly It seemed oh so very
Your complexion is so good.
Very healthy.
The God of Deaths complexion was so good that it looked as if he had gotten a basket of herbal medicine and drank it all himself.
You look good.
As Cale started to frown and his gaze turned so sharp and vicious as he glared at the God of Death
R, really? Haha-
The God of Death started laughing. The flaky voice Cale had heard until now could be heard in that laugh. Cale blankly watched before nonchalantly commenting.
Is that your real voice?
His eyes headed toward the God of Deaths neck. There was a black light that appeared around the neck area whenever the God of Death talked.
"Ah, right.
The God of Death approached the empty desk and put his hand on a device on top of it.
Click.
The device made a noise as it turned off and the God of Death reached for the chair.
Clunk.
The God of Death pulled the chair from the other desk and sat down near Cale.
I called you for a moment since I wanted to chat.
This is your real voice.
The voice that had been a slightly high tone instantly became low. This voice was more cold than heavy, similar to his domain.
The God of Death peeked at Cale and cautiously asked at that point.
"So, what do you think? Any thoughts about being a Saint?
Cale looked stupefied.
Like hell I would.
O, okay.
The God of Death avoided Cales gaze after, forget respectful, Cale spoke extremely disrespectfully to him. Cale didnt care and just said what he wanted to say.
But you never called me to this kind of place until now. Why did you call me here today? You always just said whatever the hell you wanted.
The God of Death smiled awkwardly at Cales tone that sounded vicious because he was so calm.
To be honest with you, I needed to use a lot of power to pull you here like this, Cale Henituse.
He gently opened up his arms.
Furthermore, in order to bring you here to my workspace, in order for a god to show their true self to someone, that is something that is beyond my powers and requires the consent of a few people.
Consent?
Cale wondered who would have the power to affect the actions of a god.
"Are you talking about other gods?
Our Cale truly is smart.
Dont talk like we are close.
Ahem. Hem.
The God of Death looked away after seeing Cales calm but annoyed gaze.
I need consent from gods and some others. They are all pretty strict with the rules, but they gave their consent this time.
The gods calm eyes looked at Cale.
Because of your merits.
The sealed god?
Yes. We were able to seal the sealed god properly thanks to you.
The god's eyes were completely black without any specks of light. Cale looked into the black eyes that suited the name of death before calmly asking.
Is the sealed god unable to come out into the world anymore?
Yes. Thanks to you.
Cale finally leaned back on the chair.
Pat, pat.
His hand patted the back of the chair.
A conversation. I guess I did want to chat with you at least once too.
Cales firm gaze was focused on the God of Death.
The Hunters. What the hell are they trying to do? Do those shitheads have anything to do with me, no, the people around me?
Cale thought that he might as well ask since he was meeting with a god.
Do the people around me have to fight again?
The God of Death observed the sharp gaze on Cales face that looked a bit tired.
A lot of unexplainable emotions and thoughts were filling Cales mind.
Lee Soo Hyuk was one of the few people he had considered his family other than his parents.
I can see him again?
And Lee Soo Hyuk has earned some merits regarding this sealed god incident.
Merits?
Cale, who barely managed to snap back to his senses, asked the god who calmly responded.
Yes. Lee Soo Hyuk has been helping me with things. Most importantly
A gentle smile appeared on the god's face.
Lee Soo Hyuk was the one who gave you Embrace. He gave his power to you. You were able to use that power to seal the sealed god. That is Lee Soo Hyuk's greatest merit.
Cales mouth slightly opened, but he was unable to say anything.
He recalled meeting Lee Soo Hyuk in his dream in the past when he had fainted.
We died when we were not fated to die. The God of Death must have felt pity for us, as he gave each of us an opportunity.
The God of Death gave Lee Soo Hyuk an opportunity to give Cale a power, and Cale received Embrace from him.
That reward was being reborn in the world I'm in?
No. He was fated to be born there this time. The reward is something else.
The god observed Cales nonchalant face and his clenched fists before continuing to speak.
As a reward for his merit, he is able to be reborn with his memories.
Ah.
Cale let out a gasp. He and the God of Death looked at each other.
Smile.
The God of Death smiled. It was a slightly mischievous smile unlike before.
Find Lee Soo Hyuk. Dont you want to see him?
However, his eyes were serious.
Cale realized it at that moment.
Ha!
He scoffed in disbelief.
The God of Death had said the following just now.
Lee Soo Hyuk has been helping me with things.
Team leader Lee Soo Hyuk, who was going to be reborn with his memories, had helped the God of Death with things. There was a hidden meaning behind that.
That means team leader Lee Soo Hyuk has information about the Hunters and the things the God of Death has done.
The God of Death lightly spoke to Cale who had an odd expression on his face.
Erase the note.
Cale looked down at the open notepad.
Cale had not been affected at all earlier when the office had turned weird and the God of Death had coughed up the black liquid.
That was why he had written questions for the God of Death on the notepad while making it look as if he was scribbling.
He was hoping to get the answers at a later time even if he could not get them now.
Theyre fast.
However, there were individuals who were one step ahead of him. Cale scratched out the things he had written on the notepad with the pen before hesitating for a moment and asking a question.
Is it what the team leader wanted?
Of course. Lee Soo Hyuk was the one who said he wanted this as his reward first.
The god looked at Cale who was silently drawing lines on the notepad and asked.
So, do you like my reward?
Cale nodded his head without any hesitation.
I guess so. But what about the others?
Hmm?
The team leader and I are not the only ones with merits.
The God of Death jumped up from his seat at that moment.
Shall we stop now?
Hmm?
Looks like the time is up!
What?
Cale looked at the God of Death in disbelief, but the god looked down at Cale and raised both of his hands.
He then clapped.
Clap!
Cale then felt his whole body go weak.
Whatkindofnon-
He could not finish his sentence.
The world turned into darkness and he lost consciousness.
Cale was shocked. He tried his best to move his mouth that wouldn't move.
Shouldnt he at least tell me when and where the team leader was reborn? He should at least tell me that much! How the hell am I supposed to find him when I only know that he was reborn on the Eastern or Western continent?!
Cale was filling with rage as he lost consciousness when he heard a word by his ear.
Book.
Ah.
Cale gasped and then smiled.
The God of Deaths divine item was a black book.
* * *
While that was going on
Knock knock knock.
Alberu Crossman turned his head after hearing urgent knocks on the door.
Alberu had asked if the war was over. The meeting room that had frozen over after that question was busy rediscussing many things with Alberu at the center of the discussions.
These knocks had stopped this meeting.
Click.
The door opened and Tasha, who was in front of the door, flinched after hearing the information from the outside before immediately walking to Alberu.
"What is it?
They were in a public setting so Alberu asked Tasha informally as the crown prince and Tasha looked around before finally speaking.
A priest has arrived from the Temple of the God of Death.
A priest?
Alberu was confused when it became rowdy outside the door and they heard a priest's voice through the open door.
His voice was extremely excited and full of intense emotion.
His highness! I must quickly see his highness! Where is Commander Cale Henituse as well?!
Alberu looked toward Tasha. Tasha whispered in his ear.
He said that a new divine item has been bestowed to the Temple of the God of Death in the Roan Kingdoms capital.
What was going on now?
As Alberu slowly scowled
It apparently came with a Divine Oracle.
Tasha whispered quietly and quickly.
The owner of the divine item, the only person who can touch it is someone who lived despite being stabbed in the heart.
This is driving me nuts.
Alberu held back those words he wanted to say, but couldn't say and brushed his face with both hands.
