Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 : The Coward and The One Who seek Freedom

"From now on, you are the god of the wind"

I felt cold as I watch the being powerful than my kind walks towards me and gave me an unknown shining crystal, blue orb.

I could tell that this orb contains an immerse amount of power of the wind.

Afraid, I ended up accepting it instead of refusing.

I dont want to become a god.

But how can I fight such being to refuse? It's existence itself is already a pressure. The pressure is too strong that It gives me a hard time moving my own body.

I watched it walked away. My heart skipped as I saw it step onto the body of someone who raised me. It. stepped on it as if it doesn't exist.

The previous god of the wind. My guardian and my master.

I'm too weak.

This is probably the reason why master decided to take me in. Because like him, we're both weak and just a puppet under those higher ups. The Celestials.

But my master decided to touch some strings. As he can't stop himself to seek freedom in exchange. He ended up being punished. His life cost it all.

"You are lucky, because the people of Derise didn't burden the sin of it's god" It said and dissapear.

Yes. we are LUCKY.

They favor this land. But if it's another nation. They might put a curse on them, even the innocent.

The title of 'God' is nothing but a joke in this world. How can you call yourself a god if you have someone you fear? No freedom? No strenght?

After the celestial being dissapears I ran towards my master.

I couldn't shed tears but only held him into my arms.

His lifeless body is turning into dust and the wind is strong enough to take it.

"I'm so sorry, But i think im more of a coward than you. Sir" I said.

I couldn't call him master or my lord. I'm worried if am i being watched or observed by them.

In this world. since i've got the power of the wind and the title of being god has been passed on me.

I considered myself being cursed. An hour ago I was just a half human and half angel. Creature that can experience death everytime.

Now, death is nothing unless im killed by the ten celestials nor beings higher than them.

I watched his ask fades away until there's nothing in here. Except me and this ruined place.

The castle was destroyed.

The bodies of loyal warrior of this nation banished.

But the rampaging wind, that looks like a barrier hasn't stopped.

My master did this with all his might so that innocent people outside this city avoids to get involved with this matter.

He makes it look like that we we're fightng the evil kings dragon. But it's not.

He was being punished because of his sin.

I couldn't help but bit my own lips. I respect the brave warriors for putting their life on the line and their incredible faith for my master.

I know they know how it will end, they accept it whole heartedly. But for me it's nothing but an acceptance and preparing for a self destruction.

I tried to explain it briefly. But i will never forget that damned smile they gave and said they will accept it for their own god.

And lastly, my last interaction with my master
