When consciousness is regained.
My initial impression was that it was very bright.
However, I adapted quickly.
The first thing that catches the eye is...
"A tea table?"
I can't be mistaken.
A white ceramic tea set with faint blue-green stripes was placed on the table.
Its owner appears to be an elegant person.
Similar to the Duke of Croggs.
"..."
I glanced at my own body without thinking and was immediately surprised and my eyes widened.
I remember I was cut in half.
In conclusion.
The lower half of the body had vanished.
"Is he/she already dead?"
Is this paradise?
When looking around.
Everything was a vast expanse of white; nothing could be seen.
Apart from this tea pavilion-like place.
Looking back on my short life, I've simply accepted this reality.
At least, I've had a very happy life.
I was born into a warm family with loving parents.
And there's Sylvie.
The person who brings me hope in my darkest hour.
As for Anna...
This might be the only regret.
I couldn't give her a happy life...
"It's finally over."
Although I really want to continue enjoying this kind of life.
but.
What am I even hoping for...?
For someone like me to be remembered by the gods is already a great blessing.
"..."
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of them.
Her body was almost completely naked, covered only by a piece of white cloth.
"What a strange guy."
Before I could even react, it vanished from the spot.
"..."
When it reappeared, it was already beside me.
"Is he awake already, Leon?"
He brought his face very close and said this to me.
However, I couldn't see his face clearly at all.
I shifted my gaze to his lower body.
What was exposed by the white cloth was his well-developed pectoral muscles, one piece at a time.
"What an amazing figure!"
When I looked at his face again...
here we go again.
It was very blurry; I couldn't see his face at all.
This feeling is similar to dreaming, where you try your best to see the other person's face, but ultimately you can't see it clearly.
"He's a man"
Based on his physique, I'll tentatively conclude that.
"Can't you hear?"
I saw him straighten up, resting his chin on his hand, as if he were thinking.
Hello! May I ask who you are?
Since he took the initiative to greet me, it would indeed be impolite not to respond.
I didn't add Leon Cabreen's name.
After all, this name no longer belongs to me.
"I am a god!"
He thought for a while, and suddenly something like a light bulb appeared above his head. Was this the legendary sudden realization?
"Very suspicious!"
Who would come out and claim to be a god? Seriously, do gods really exist in this world?
Maybe!
I just wonder, why would such a divine being talk to me?
In other words, shouldn't it have appeared much earlier?
Similar to when you died in a previous life.
"I've been keeping an eye on you, Leon. It seems you're living a pretty good life!"
"..."
I don't know why, but his words really annoyed me.
Does this constitute voyeurism?
What kind of person would cut a small hole in someone else's wall, visible only to themselves, to spy on their happy life?
I'm not sure where I got this concept from, but anyway.
It made me feel very uncomfortable.
but.
Since I've died again, there probably won't be another chance to be reborn.
They will be sent to either heaven or hell.
"By the way, are you the god who's responsible for receiving me?"
I asked that question.
"No! This doesn't fall under the scope of a 'human god'."
"..."
It seems he didn't come to pick me up. Then why is he here?
"A god or a human?"
He seemed to be introducing his position unintentionally, mentioning that he had never heard of any god.
"I'm here to help you, Leon!"
"Help me? What do you mean?"
Do I need divine help now?
Even though he died again, what was he trying to express by saying that?
"Let me be reborn again?"
No, no, no! I don't agree with that idea.
Or rather, someone with my destiny shouldn't have such good fortune.
but.
Judging from what he said, it seemed that the reason he ended up in another world was mostly because of him.
Was it you who reincarnated me into another world?
Despite this thought, I still need to confirm that this god-like figure doesn't seem so difficult to get along with.
"Another world? A very nice name. But it was indeed I who reincarnated you."
To be honest, I am truly grateful to him.
Although it was a short-term life in another world, it was indeed very happy.
"Thank you very much, God of Humanity, but I'm afraid I can't accept your help. I'm already... dead..."
It would be best to receive help from God, but my life in this other world...
It's over...
"You're not dead!"
"..."
What is he saying?
Haven't you been keeping an eye on me all along?
Did he not know that I was cut in half at the waist?
"Um, God, I just..."
"Yes! I know, but you're not dead!"
"..."
When I heard his words, I wasn't as surprised as I had imagined, and I didn't shout out.
Instead, it was unusually quiet.
What's the meaning.
The lower body has vanished, leaving only the upper body?
Still alive?
"Hey, even if I were a child, you can't just fool me like that!"
"It's clear you have a lot of questions."
"Yes"
It's as if he can see right through me.
Because they are gods, do they have the ability to see my inner thoughts?
but.
It's just that I like to overthink things.
after all.
My doubts were written all over my face.
"Here's what I'll do! I'll send you back two hours, that way you'll believe you're not dead."
"..."
It was something that should make me happy, but I didn't feel any emotional reaction at all.
Two hours ago?
What's the difference between that and dying?
Faced with such terrifying strength, even if they tried to escape, they would still be caught.
"Forget it, I can't possibly win against an enemy like that."
"That kind of enemy? You mean 'Gluttony'?"
"...!"
"Do you know him? Lord Human God!"
"Of course I know him, he's one of the seven apostles of the angel God!"
"Angel God?"
I feel like I've heard these words before.
"The Angel God, one of the 'Seven Great Powers'?"
"Yes, of course he is a messenger of justice in your history, but do you really understand him?"
"..."
Ultimately, I really don't understand the "Seven Great Powers".
The book records that they were the seven strongest beings in the world.
"Yes, he is a hero who fought alongside the Dragon God to defeat the demons, but that's only how you humans see him!"
"...?"
What does that mean? Does it mean that angels aren't actually heroes who save humanity?
Do you know what "tidal bore" is?
These are also very familiar words.
Although I have never encountered it, it is clearly recorded in the book.
That was a major disaster...
All sorts of monsters appear inside, and each time they appear, almost everyone in the city dies.
"That was created by the angel God!"
Although, the person in front of them who claimed to be a god said this.
but.
Highly suspicious.
but.
Do I really understand the angels?
I only learned a little about him from the book.
Compared to the "gods and humans" before us, books are probably unreliable too.
Before, they lied to me, saying that everyone's total magic power is fixed at birth.
"But why did he do that?"
"Who knows? But I'm on your side, Leon!"
"Are you on my side?"
What is he saying...?
"Alright! Time is running out. From now on, it's up to you."
"...?"
"Lord Human God?"
Before I could ask any more questions, the surrounding white light suddenly became blinding.
"Go for it, Leon! I really believe in you!"
As soon as the "human god" finished speaking, a white light blinded me!
I felt my feet suddenly give way, and I fell down.
It fell downwards as if it were moving at the speed of sound or light.
Furthermore, there is no place to land.
I only felt the blinding white light suddenly recede upwards...
