I just want a good way to die.

"But, why did you do that?"

"I just want to die..."

The god of the underworld fell silent for a moment.

The room was silent until it felt awkward.

{You know, you were born to be a psychopath.}

I know that.

{But, isn't a baby born without sin?  Why were you born with that fate?}

That was what made Venion's birth such a handicap in that world.

The god of the underworld raised his hand.

Two lights were appearing.  One is black and the other is red.

{There are only these two emotions inside you.}

Just by looking at it, Venion could tell what emotion it was.

Red: pleasure when he sees blood and other people suffer.

Black: the hopelessness he is feeling right now.

{If I burn these two emotions, it means I have to remove your soul completely.  There is no chance for you to reincarnate.}

Then?

That's not my problem.

The god of the underworld raised his other hand.  There is 1 very small white light as if it is just a dot on writing.

{But you see, a new feeling has arisen from within you after being with that child.}

Is that how I feel?

Venion couldn't believe that there was such a warm feeling within him even if it was so small.

From that white light, he could feel the warmth.

The god of the underworld flew the tiny light toward Venion.

{This is the emotion of feeling happy with the warmth you get.  But because you are scared and hopeless, that feeling is weak.}

{Venion, you probably don't remember.  But there was a request that you made while you were here.}

Venion looked confused.

{You said, just once, you wanted to know what happiness meant.}

Venion's tears flowed without him knowing why when he heard that.

The god of the underworld smiled.

{And I am also satisfied with your help while you are working here.}

Since Venion couldn't be judged, the god of the underworld made him work under him.

{Look for the meaning of that happiness now cause I give you a second chance.} 

The god of the underworld smiled.

{You probably won't remember this...}

The god of the underworld looks sad with that smile.

{But remember, if you don't like Cale or Neo's overdoing, just say 'I'm not willing.'  That would knock those two bastards unconscious.  Don't force yourself.}

{If you call their names, they will wake up.  Otherwise, they will only faint for an hour.}

The god of the underworld smiled, but his brows furrowed.

Venion found it strange to see the god of the underworld make such a face.

But he couldn't ask as his vision darkened.
