In a world shaped by gods, magic, and unwavering faith, Leon awakens to a new life—but not as the naive boy who once wandered its streets. Betrayed and killed in his past, he finds himself reborn as the prophesied deity of a small, devout tribe hidden deep within a mana-rich forest. The villagers, steadfast in their belief, see him as the ancient god Relethis, returned to guide and protect them. But Leon knows the truth—he is no god. Armed only with a unique and mysterious ability to fuse objects and living things into powerful creations, he steps reluctantly into the role they expect him to fill. As Leon performs small miracles—purifying water, cultivating magical plants, and improving their lives—he begins to lose himself in the tribe’s faith and the peace it brings. Though he still remembers the betrayal and pain of his previous life, the weight of his mortal identity grows fainter with each passing day. Yet, the world beyond the forest does not rest. As whispers of his deeds spread, powerful kingdoms, rival faiths, and ancient forces take notice. With his ability growing stronger and the villagers depending on him more than ever, Leon must decide what it truly means to be a god. Will he cling to the past, or will he fully embrace the faith of his people, even if it means forgetting who he once was?

Maya the letter and opened it… her hands shaking as she was just about to confirm her worst fear. As Maya's eyes scanned the letter, her face crumbled, and her body began to shake.

She felt like she was drowning in a sea of despair, unable to catch her breath. The letter slipped from Maya's fingers, floating gently to the floor as she collapsed onto the bed, her body wracked with sobs. Serena rushed to her side, wrapping her in a tight hug as she tried to comfort her. "It's okay, Maya. I'm here for you.

The dress, the flowers, the cake – everything was ready, except for the groom. Maya's eyes landed on the letter, still lying on the floor. She felt a surge of anger and hurt, and she knew she had to read it again. This time, she would make herself understand the words, no matter how much they hurt. With a deep breath, Maya picked up the letter and began to read...
