Happy Birthday, and, Goodbye.

✨HAPPY BIRTHDAY✨

"You said, there will be five stages of the illusion test in the sealed god's temple?"

"Yes."

Cale closed his eyes as he remembered the conversation he had with Alberu regarding the sealed god's temple. The information they got from Ahn Roh Man, the previous owner of Taerang.

Someone who had faced the test and sealed the temple in the past.

Cale was done with his blue test. The illusion was truly terrifying. It felt so real as if he was actually in the cemetery...

Was it because his memories were so detailed that the illusion was also so detailed that Cale could even feel every sensation from the smell, touch, and everything else of the cemetery situation?

Even if he had let go of all his guilt after meeting Lee Soo Hyuk's soul, such a scene was still unpleasant to see.

Facing the God of Despair and playing along with his charade like before would be better than continuously seeing the thing he hated.

Cale hated this God of Despair even more.

Even if he didn't cry, it didn't mean he wasn't sad and not bothered by it. He was still human to continue to face things like this...

'Ahh, I'm tired...'

Let's just finish this quickly and go home.

Cale already had a new home, a new family, and a new life. He now had a place to go home to and relieve the burdens inside him.

'After I take care of that bastard White Star, I'll go home and rest...'

Cale would rather face something that was destroying his body than his sanity. Mentally, Cale was really tired.

Even the Vitality of the heart cannot heal someone's sanity.

The blue light slowly changed into a yellow light. Such light that enough to make him blind for a moment.

'Is there a time when I can laze around in peace?'

Cale wondered, when was the time when he felt so lazy. He didn't feel like there was a time when he could do that...

Starting with being beaten by his uncle and ostracized at school then, when his life was about to feel better, a monster appeared, making him unable to even sleep peacefully thinking about how to survive.

His life was far from a word peaceful or lazy life.

Will that show the time when he was in Harris Village?

Yes, it was so quiet and peaceful...

The yellow light increasingly blinded Cale's vision even more as he finally seemed to be eaten by that super bright light.

"Rok Soo!"

Cale felt sleepy for some reason. The voice that called him also sounded very familiar to him. His vision was blurry as if he had just woken up from a peaceful nap.

Thinking about it, how long did he sleep last night? Is it 2 or 3 hours?

'When was this?'

The time he could take a good nap when he was Kim Rok Soo, when was that?

Cale rubbed his eyes to clear his vision before turning to the source of the voice.

!?

Cale's eyes widened when he saw the owner of the voice was Choi Jung Soo, who was smiling brightly, running towards him.
