"I know your parents died," Liya said gently, her voice barely above a whisper. "I created your world from this world manhwa. I'm one of your villains, Kai, but as your creator, I love my creation like I love myself. I never saw you as a pawn, Kai."
Kai's eyes dropped, and a tear escaped. Liya's warmth pierced his defenses.
"Are you crying, Kai?" Liya asked, concern etched on her face.
Kai's voice trembled. "No, Goddess."
Liya stood from her bed, and a radiant light burst forth, bathing the room in divine splendor. She cradled Kai in her hands, enveloping him in warmth. "Kai, it's okay. I'm your creator and your family. Don't worry, Kai..."
As Liya spoke, her body began to radiate an ethereal glow. Her form shifted, and her divine essence unfolded.
Kai's composure crumbled, and he cried, hiding his tears in Liya's embrace.
As Kai wept, in the universe, he saw his parents manifested amidst a tapestry of stars. "Mom... Dad... how are you? Why did you leave me? Why did you save me from the monsters' attack?" Kai implored.
Their ethereal voices whispered reassurance. "We're always with you, son, in your heart. Don't worry, we will always help you."
As they vanished into the celestial expanse, Kai realized he remained safe within Liya's embrace.
Her gentle touch soothed his soul.
As Kai's tears soaked, she whispered, "You're home now, Kai. You're safe."
She slowly swept her hands across his head, calming his turbulent emotions.
Kai's sobs subsided, replaced by an unprecedented sense of belonging.
As Kai's eyes saw Liya transform into her goddess form before him, her long, golden hair cascaded like sunlight, and her eyes shone like stars. Her slender figure was now draped in celestial robes, amidst a universe full of stars, shimmering with an otherworldly aura.
"Thank you, Goddess," Kai whispered, his voice muffled.
As Liya's divine energy dissipated, her goddess form gave way to her human appearance. Her golden hair shortened, and her celestial robes transformed into her familiar attire.
Kai's eyes, still shining with tears, met Liya's warm gaze.
"So, what do you think about becoming a minor god of my world, Kai?" Liya asked, her voice gentle.
Kai's thoughts swirled, recalling Liya's words: "You're safe, Kai..."
"Goddess Liya," Kai stammered, his voice filled with emotion.
Liya's smile encouraged him.
"I... I don't know what to say," Kai admitted, his heart overflowing.
Liya's laughter was music. "You don't need to say anything, Kai. Your heart speaks louder than words."
Kai took a deep breath. "I want to be with you, Goddess Liya, as your helper, your friend... Or whatever you need me to be."
Liya's eyes sparkled. "You'll be my cherished companion, Kai."
With a tender smile, Liya reached out and wiped away Kai's remaining tears.
"Let us begin your journey as a minor god," Liya said, "if you don't mind, Kai."
"I don't mind, Goddess," Kai said.
Liya's smile faltered for a moment, and she glanced around the room.
"What if your parents heard our voice, Goddess?" Kai asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Liya's laughter cut him off, warm and melodious. "Oh, really? You're worried about this?"
Kai nodded, his face serious.
"I already put a barrier on my room," Liya said, her voice dripping with amusement, "so no one can hear our conversation, hahaha."
Kai's tension dissipated, replaced by relief.
"Now, let's begin your journey as a minor god," Liya said.
"Then let us begin your new life by my side,Kai" Liya said, her eyes sparkling with promise.
