Chapter 36 - Chapter 34: Chapter 6 Volume 3

How much time has passed...?

I felt that time feels very long and erratic in this place. Feelings raged within my chest while surveying my surroundings. Invites curiosity, doubt, and alienation feeling amidst nowhere.

Emptiness is the description of this place. Pale white dominates all parts of this place without a definite time indicator, such as the sun or the moon. Even though I'd experienced several feelings already mentioned earlier, but this place seemed to provoke —an irritating memory...

In my mind while observing every part of this place, some strings of words started to sound from behind me...

Those words were spoken in a recognizable tone.

When I tried to turn my head back, I felt a finger touch my right cheek. My eyes sight realized the figure who did that action...

The grown man's white silhouette appeared and smiled with baring teeth. A very familiar white silhouette.

Realizing his presence, I immediately moved my right hand. My muscles tightened violently accompanied by an elbow movement towards him. This movement attacked toward his chin swiftly. It's all based on one strong emotion I'd have...

*Bam!*

He chuckled after blocking my attack with his index finger. He said again with a humble tone.

I was annoyed. I was so pissed off after what he did and several missions he gave me before. I let out the entire reaction of anger through that attack.

Realizing the effort I put in, He smiled and spoke,

He asked in a more serious tone and deeper intonation.

Hearing all of his words, my memory flashbacks toward the last incident. I remembered that incident clearly...

The pain of being belittled...

The pain of helplessness...

The painful feeling of injustice...

He spoke with words heart-wrenching truly. But they also contained cruel reality. I didn't deny everything he said. However, that incident made me aware of all the shortcomings I had. Those loathsome shortcomings reside and tear up the heartstring. Even so, those several shortcomings made me realize a few things...

Dissatisfaction within myself...

Anger with humiliation...

The desire for a better life...

Some of those beliefs seemed to drive me up. I pushed all of my energy into one point to attack him.

Realizing what I was doing, The silhouette reacted,

Suddenly, The Silhouette was surprised and smiled at me. Unexpectedly, he lowered his finger and let my attack aim at him...

*Swoosh!* *Thud!*

My attack landed on his left cheek. He took several steps back and started bleeding from his mouth. Realizing what he had received, The silhouette said,

he said with a laugh. he smiled at me.

Hearing what he said, I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Once I was able to control my emotions, I immediately asked,

I saw him with a glare.

he sighed as he wiped the blood on his mouth.

I was confused.

he said while snapping his fingers a few times. He said with a laugh.

I was shocked. In disbelief, I reacted,

he sighed. His tone turned serious.

I instantly felt my body's hair stand up intensely. All feelings are mixed in the heartstring. But I remember what he said before...

(There's no way he's here just to see me. If that's the truth, he's a God. He should be able to command his underlings, servant, or kinda that!> I thought to myself.

I immediately normalized my condition and these feelings. After being able to calm down, I replied,

Instantly, he laughed out loud. He also clapped his hands and said,

he looked at me.

I looked at him with a strange feeling.

He smiled at me.

(I'll be honest if I have a lot of questions. However, for now, I'm more focused on getting back first! Oh yeah, he said about system updates. I must ask about that first!> I thought firmly.

Before I could answer, The white silhouette said,

I was suddenly surprised. Before my mouth could speak, he said again,

He started snapping his fingers. Along with his action, a brown door appeared behind him.

He immediately shifted and tried to please let me in. He also spoke,

I was a little hesitant at first, especially the last incident he did. However, he spoke,

He smiled at me.

After I observed and confirmed his demeanor for a moment, I immediately headed for that door. When I was about to open the door, he said again,

He smiled at me.

I didn't replied his words and immediately opened the door...

*Creaaaak!*

...

I opened my eyes slowly. When my eyes could look around, I realized that I was in a room that was quite luxurious.

Realizing where I was, I started getting up little by little. I didn't get a chance to look surroundings, but I heard the sound of a thing breaking...

*Crack!*

I suddenly turned towards the source of those voices. At that moment, I saw a woman I knew in tears. Immediately, she hugs me tightly...

*Hug*

Then, she said with tears in her eyes,

"You bastard! You know how long I waited for you, huh?! I guess... I guess... kkh...!"

Realizing what she said, I just stroked her head and replied,

"Thank you for waiting for me... Adolph." I smiled at her.

***

Realizing that Nagao was gone, The white silhouette said,

After he said that, two figures appeared before The white silhouette. The first figure is an adult male in a white long-sleeved shirt with black clothing including a blazer, vest, and long-formal trousers. He has tall and broad-shouldered with a stoic expression. He has long curly hair that reaches his shoulders, a moderate-length-sized beard; brown eyes, and medium skin. He also held a black helmet in his right hand.

For the second figure, she's a woman. She has blonde-golden wheat hair and baltic-blue eyes. Even so, she has a unique face. She has pale white half-face skin and dark-frostbite-purple-stripped flesh and bones half-face skin. As for her, she wore a black fur mantle.

Then, they began to converse,

Hades asked politely.

Hel asked attentively.

The white silhouette immediately snapped his fingers. Instantly the blood in his mouth was gone.

Hades said in an irritated tone.

Hel retorted in an angered tone.

Instantly, The white silhouette cleared his throat and said,

He said with a smile. But The silhouette's aura turned even more sinister. Dark as a black cloud. Aware of his aura that was giving off, they fell silent in obedience.

Realizing their attitudes had returned to normal, he spoke again,

he said assertively. he said while handing a piece of paper to Hel.

Hel said politely.

The white silhouette was silent for a moment. His silence made both of them in an anxious state. After a while, he replied,

His reactions with a genuine smile.

Accompanied by Hades and Hel, they immediately left the Underworld towards the Bifröst bridge.
