Blaze didn't know how he ended up in the half-torn-up Heavenly Court but he knew for sure that he screwed up.
How?
"...Yearly Bell from Loana Garden held the contribution of 100 Supreme Gods and needed 10 Cloud years to be built with the budget of 4 million Celestial Stone; next on the destruction list we have Heaven Library, with a record of 500 million books, with the infamous classics like 'Sword of Alchemy' by the Honorable War God, Yuzini, and cough cough 'Love-Making With Demons' by the Honorable Love God, Azaka... " It was the Logistic God who held a list as long as an Anaconda and went on blabbering while the Audit God went with scribbling with his feather pen on a white sheet of paper which was as long as the first one.
On the other hand, Blaze, who had done nothing, felt a deep sense of exhaustion as he stared at the list. He sighed and lifted his head to gaze at the audience standing beside him and looking at him with grim faces.
But what he didn't know was that amusement was masked behind their former expression. They were enthusiastic to hear the Emperor's hearing because they knew the innocent newbie's fate and what he was going to face.
"So totaling all the expenses and deducting two percent as a newbie discount, War God, Blazewardic is indebted to pay 60 million Celestial Stone to the Heavenly Court." After an hour later, the Audit God finally declared the sum amount and handed the long paper to the Emperor sitting on the throne.
The courtroom gasped at the unexpected amount.
60 million Celestial Stone!? Great Tiger! The amount was enough for any God or Goddess to leave their duty and enjoy a vacation in Wing Realm for 100 Cloud Years or more...
But the question was not that, the question was, how will this newbie pay this amount of debt? And above all, another most important question was, if he was not able to pay this amount, where would they live? Because this god has destroyed gold-plated Sanctorum...
Now, everybody in unison looked at the emperor, even Blaze because he wasn't even familiar with the term 'Celestial Stone' let alone pay it.
"If you are curious, 60 million Celestial Stone equates to 10,000 Billion Gold Coins of Human Realm." The calm Emperor replied looking at Blaze's innocent red face and smiling as returned he the expense list back to the Audit God. "What did you do to create a havoc in my realm?"
"He fought with me, Your Majesty." Replied one of the folks from the crowd and stood beside Blaze before bowing. His face had the evident mark of being in combat with someone as half of his face was marked with scratches and others painted with black.
The Emperor gave a questionable look towards Blaze and without being verbally questioned Blaze explained...
A few Cloud Hours Ago
Blaze heaved as he finally reached atop the clouds of Heaven Realm after six months of climbing through the stairs. The excitement carried him through the air and the six months went with a snap of the finger.
But all his excitement flew away when he saw nothing except the mass of white clouds after reaching his destination.
What did he expect? Of course, a fountain with condensed water; a beautiful goddess singing legend and lore, blooming flowers on the lane, and leaves falling from trees; in short, he expected paradise but it was plain.
Looking over the side, he was met with the same sight. Clouds.
'Sigh... So did I come here for nothing?' he thought and fell on the ground with exhaustion. The cloud beside him flew with his weight and disappeared in the air.
Blaze closed his eyes and momentarily thought of the life he left in the Human Realm, not forgetting the last moment of his miserable death.
"Who are you?" A sweet yet revoking unknown voice rang in the void place jolting Blaze from his thoughts.
Blaze snapped his eyes open and was astonished to witness a golden gate appearing out of thin air in front of him.
The huge golden gate was illuminating golden rays out of its perimeter which brightened the dark sky and cast a warm hue on Blaze's tired face.
He lifted his body from the cloudy ground and walked towards the gate.
A tan-brown Celestial stood before the gate who wore heavy gold armor on her body and a small crown sat in her bunch of long loose raven hair. She held a slip in her hand and looked at Blaze with her rose brows.
"Who are you, if you don't mind answering?" The Celestial repeated her question, her crimson eyes reflecting her annoyance.
Blaze sharply inhaled the cold atmospheric air of the realm and nodded to himself to face the first celestial being of his life with a bow, "Greetings High Celestial, I am Blazewardic, Second Born to my Parents, the seed of the Qyll Kingdom, the known Sword of Yuwazh Army, and the Ascedent from Four Realms."
The Celestial lady looked at Blaze whose eyes glowed with ambition and then shifted her crimson eyes towards her slip.
Blaze noticed the movement of the Celestial and wondered what she was doing...
Finally, when the woman got the page she wanted, after scribbling a few words on that page, she tore it and passed it to Blaze.
"Junior God, two pieces of advice from this Official before you pass the Heavenly Gate." The Celestial Lady spoke before she stopped on the bar of the gate.
"Firstly, the Heaven Realm isn't a place of blessing. It is cursed, cursed by these corrupted Celestial members. And Secondly, the Heavenly Emperor is..."
