     it was about time that yagi toshinori — the current ruler of the heavens — stepped down from his all mighty throne.

     after all, he's aged quite a bit. and that scar that was given to him from an unruly fight many centuries ago, did not help his cause either.

     "endeavor, what do you think of the new candidates?", all might questioned.

     after all, every god and goddess had a name that they handpicked for themselves, since names held an importance against those who would use it for evil.

endeavor furrowed his brows, as he immediately shot down the idea.

     "absolutely not! she's not to be released due to that incident that she cau—"

"perhaps", all might interrupted. "perhaps, we can give her another chance. after all, she is skilled...highly competent".

"need I remind you that it's because she was highly competent that she had fallen into the sin that most long for: greed", endeavor stated.
