Side Story 6-2: The God of Death’s Observation Journal (2)

An existence that could not be seen in the darkness.

The Sun God always hid her appearance in the darkness as she moved.

The existence that once moved around while releasing a bright, hot, and radiant light as if she wanted to cast aside all darkness from this world started not revealing herself since some moment in the past.

The Sun God had said it was a form of atonement.

There is something I wish to know.

Oh really? Ask away. I'm in quite the good mood so I'll answer any one question you may have, Sun God.

They were both silent for a moment.

Oh, God of Death.

Yeah?

Is there really no existence that could bestow death to a god?

Crack.

The wine glass in the God of Deaths hand cracked and disappeared into the darkness.

I was in a good mood but not anymore.

A smile appeared on the God of Deaths face.

So it looks like I wont be able to answer your question.

More than anybody else.

The Sun God asked in a calm voice.

Werent you the god who wanted death more than anybody else and sought out that method?

Huuuuuu.

The God of Death let out a deep sigh and responded in an emotionless voice.

I did not manage to find such a method.

The God of Deaths eyes slowly sank low and held no emotions. The voice flowing out of his mouth was heavy but held no emotions either.

Oh, Sun God. You are not looking for eternal death but death. And the beings who are allowed to experience that death are only ones who can be reborn to live new lives.

.

Is it that you want to be reborn as a human again?

The God of Death did not wait for the silent Sun Gods response and continued to speak.

I dont know what you are hoping for with those thoughts but let go of useless dreams.

His voice was quite firm.

Dont both you and I have the burdens of mistakes to carry?

The Sun God finally responded after a long time.

Yes.

There was a moment of silence between the two gods again. The God of Death didn't put much deep thoughts into it and simply seeped into this stillness as if he was water flowing through.

He heard the Sun Gods voice at that moment and it pulled his mind out of the surface of the stillness.

Is it Lee Soo Hyuk?

A deep wrinkle appeared on the God of Deaths forehead.

The human you have with you.

Plop. Plop.

A few of the observation journals floating in the air fell to the ground. The God of Death spoke in a low voice.

Hey you damn bundle of light.

.

This Sun God bitch has no tact at all, no tact.

Hey you damn bundle of light, that kid used to work for me. Dont mess with him.

I'm not saying it because I want to mess with him.

Then?

This damn bundle of light, the Sun God, was the lunatic who did all sorts of things in the past because she hated the dark attribute so much. The God of Death did not trust this woman. The Sun God must have realized this as she let out a short sigh and mumbled.

I couldnt help but be envious of Lee Soo Hyuk. I was envious of the fact that he could live a new life, a life that is not eternal.

The God of Death snorted.

Oh damn bundle of light. Dont get the wrong idea.

He corrected the Sun Gods delusion.

Gods do not have lives. We simply have a duration of existence.

That was the way of life for individuals who were imprinted with eternal life.

Is that your answer, oh God of Death?

It is not my answer but my belief.

Belief was something that could overcome existence.

I'll be heading back now.

Alright, hurry up and go, go.

The God of Death could finally be alone in his place.

He slowly took a few steps and bent down. He picked up a few of the observation journals that had fallen to the floor.

As he bent down once more to pick up the last remaining journal He could see an entry from a certain day.

=====

Journal entry #XXXXX

Choi Jung Soo rejected my offer.

Kim Rok Soo remained alive.

I thought that I would understand humans and their inner thoughts very well once I became a god, but Although I can faintly see the end of humans, I still cannot understand their inner thoughts.

That was why gods who had more abilities and powers could not be heroes but humans, who are lacking quite a bit in those aspects, could become heroes.

This Lee Soo Hyuk bastard isnt much but Hes a bit special. I think that he is special every time I see him.

I should bring both of them with me.

But I am a bit scared of Choi Jung Gun. What if he comes and destroys everything in my office again?

I should go hide in the Shield dude's house. No. That bastard has a weak spot for Choi Jung Gun so he will probably capture me and hand me over to Choi Jung Gun.

Then, mm, the Sun God I should stealthily go hide in the Sun Gods warehouse.

=====

It was the best.

It was the best move the God of Death had available.

What do you think?

You knew I was here?

Of course.

A small wolf appeared from the darkness.

Single-lifers were not only for humans. Any living creature in the world could be a single-lifer.

This wolf had blue fur that seemed to sparkle in silver.

"Death, your move was not a good move.

Was it really not?

But this child turned that move into a good one.

The small wolf used his front paw to lightly tap the words Kim Rok Soo floating above the journal.

And the existences around that child also created good results.

The small wolfs dark blue eyes were full of wisdom.

It is because everybody gave it their best.

Your child gave it his best as well.

The wolf smiled bitterly at the God of Death's comment. The God of Death looked at him with pity before opening his mouth.

Why did you come to my house?

I just stopped by while passing through.

The wolf turned around without any hesitation.

Then I will be on my way now. Itll be bad if others see me.

Do you want a drink?

The wolf shook his head without looking back.

You may be disowned if you drink with an existence that has been disowned by the gods.

Your descendant might help you regain your status.

I.

The wolf looked at the God of Death. The God of Death subconsciously flinched at the eyes that had a thick aura like the gods who had kept their positions since before ancient times.

The wolf muttered on.

I simply wish for my children to have peace.

The wolf then disappeared into the darkness.

Haaaaa.

Once the aura that seemed to bind his body disappeared and he was left alone, the God of Death ruffled through his hair and plopped down on the ground.

He is an existence that has existed since before ancient times. He might be in the top five if we dont consider the status.

Although he was not welcomed by anybody in this world right now and his descendants were creatures that had their existence questioned

Hmm. Was that child named Lock the candidate for the Wolf King?

It would be good if that child could decipher the secret.

That someone who has no place of his own and can only roam would have a place to return to.

Ah, but seriously. Anybody comes into my house as they please. Should I just lock the door?

The God of Death had purposely made it so that anybody could come into his territory as they pleased but he couldnt help but be annoyed more and more as multiple existences popped in randomly like this.

Yo.

He heard a new voice at that moment and the emotion disappeared from the God of Deaths face.

You finally captured the sealed god in your hand?

Oh, God of Hope. What brings you here, sir?

Existences that were here before ancient times The few gods who had too much status to retire and have not stepped down from their positions because nobody with enough abilities to replace them has appeared

One of those gods, the God of Hope, had come to see the God of Death.

The God of Deaths heart sank down at the fact that someone who was known for rarely getting his butt out of his place came to see him.

I'm sure you are well aware as to why I am here.

The God of Hope only moved during special times.

The God of Death mumbled those times.

Where hope appears.

And

Before hope disappears.

And finally

"Before an existence with hope falls in danger.

The God of Hope smiled and nodded his head.

Yes, you are well aware.

The God of Death looked toward the small light flickering in the darkness.

That was the God of Hope.

He was a small faint light that could not be seen under light, one that was clearly visible in the darkness but something that looked as if it could go out at any moment.

However, that light had never gone out since the dawn of time and nothing existed in this Divine World that could destroy this light.

Even the law could not destroy this light.

The God of Hope never showed his appearance and always traveled looking like this. He claimed that even among his fellow gods only those with the qualification could see him.

Child.

The God of Hope always called the God of Death child.

This god probably saw all existence as children.

I want you to protect the seed of qualification.

The God of Death's eyes clouded over.

The small blinking light disappeared at the same time.
