I stood in an old, In front of me were two graves I had made
one for Nisha and the other for Flitz.
Flitz stood beside me, staring at the graves. "You even made a grave for me, huh?" he said softly.
I nodded and closed my eyes, praying silently.
After a moment, he spoke again. "Thank you. At least now, I can get some peace... So, you can kill me now—"
"No," I interrupted, my voice firm.
He turned to me, and for the first time, his face looked more human, his expression softening with confusion. "What do you mean?"
"I don't want you to end like this," I replied.
He furrowed his brow, perplexed. "What are you saying?"
I took a deep breath. "Isn't there any way to bring you back?"
His eyes widened in disbelief. "What?! No, that's impossible. Only gods can—"
"What if I put your soul inside a body?" I interrupted again.
Flitz blinked, stunned. "That would require an unimaginable amount of mana, far beyond even what beings in story like the Demon Lord possess."
His words reminded me of the four-eyed beast, who once told me
"That's not mana a human should have."
"I can at least try," I said with determination.
Flitz sighed and sat down. "Well, if you're this insistent, I won't stop you. But remember, you'll need to create a body yourself. A Unexister can't simply inhabit a human vessel."
I nodded, turned away, and raised my hand. Closing my eyes, I concentrated. I've never done this before, but I have to imagine it. I need to transform his Unexister form, a soul-like essence, into a human soul. Then I'll bind it to a body I create with magic. Flesh, blood... I'll copy it from my own body.
My hand began to glow as mana surged within me. Flitz's form started to shimmer, his eyes wide in disbelief. "This... This can't be happening..." he whispered.
I focused harder, visualizing every detail. Just as I was about to complete the spell, a blinding light struck my eyes. I opened them quickly and found myself in a grand, opulent room I had never seen before.
"Sir Zeyu," a voice called from behind me.
Turning around, I saw five figures seated on thrones—three women and two men. Small children, each with an ethereal presence, sat beside them.
One of the women, dressed in a flowing white gown, with blue hair and serene blue eyes, spoke. "Sir Zeyu."
I frowned, narrowing my eyes. "Where am I? And who are you people?"
Before she could answer, a small child perched on her shoulder, adorned with tiny wings and dressed similarly, sneered. "Lower your voice, human! You're speaking to the Great Goddess!"
"Great Goddess?" I muttered.
The woman raised her hand to silence the child. "Lili, let me speak." She turned to me with a calm expression. "Sir Zeyu, you are in the Realm of the Gods of Reality."
My expression turned cold. "So, you're gods. Why bring me here? I don't recall worshiping you or anything."
The child's face twisted with anger. "You insolent fool! How dare you speak to Lady Eli like that? Don't forget, you're just a human!"
I smirked, my voice icy. "Just a human? And you guys are also just "gods."
The little girl and the other gods glared at me, the tension thick in the air.
"You bastard! What do you mean by just dods" the child screamed, rushing toward me with glowing speed.
Before she could strike, I caught her by the neck mid-air, black lightning crackling from my hand. Her screams filled the room.
"Eli!" she cried out in desperation.
The woman raised her hand, and in an instant, the child vanished and reappeared in her grasp. "I apologize for her behavior," Eli said softly. "Lili, remember why we summoned him."
Lili shot me a venomous glare but stayed silent.
Eli addressed me again. "I am Eli, the Goddess of Life. We brought you here because your actions—reviving Flitz—are breaking the laws of reality and nature."
I raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"You were attempting to bring Flitz back to life, which is a direct violation of the natural order he should be dead and shouldn't be bought back to life. Such power is reserved only for the gods of reality."
"So, are you here to stop me?" I asked coldly.
She shook her head. "No. Instead, we are offering you a choice: to join us as one of the gods."
I closed my eyes, considering her words. "I'm not interested in becoming someone like you."
At that, a man with spiky black hair, sharp teeth, and a dark aura stood from his throne.
In a blink, he was on top of me, pinning me to the ground.
"I've heard enough of your arrogance," he growled.
I tried to move, but my body was paralyzed.
"Don't bother kid," he said with a smirk. "Time is stopped for you."
Time? I thought in confusion
Eli's voice broke through. "Mars, stop it!"
The man sighed and in a blink he returned to his throne and I found myself standing again.
"I am sorry for that, he is Mars, the God of Time," Eli explained.
I glared at him, he is sitting putting his face in his hands and closing his eyes
"We can allow you to revive Flitz, but only if you agree to become one of us. As a human, such acts threaten the balance of reality itself."
I closed my eyes. "Fine. I'll accept—for now."
Eli smiled. "Thank you for your cooperation. You may revive Flitz. We will summon you again after consulting the Leader of the Gods."
A bright light engulfed me, and when I opened my eyes, I was back in the old house.
In front of me lay a man with long black hair, his chest rising and falling with breath.
As i remember this was the body i imagined for Flitz so that means-.
His eyes opened, red like mine, and he slowly stood, towering over me.
I stammered, "F-Flitz?"
"Yes... Lord Zeyu." He smiled warmly.
