The death god sighed from his desk. "Why do I have so much work?!" He had told Cale that he could talk to the count. Of course, he understood how he felt. The young man had been an orphan for a long time and now a man who thought he was talking to his son was talking to him would make anyone uncomfortable. "But please, why didn't he explain more?!" He was frustrated.

"Maybe because you didn't tell him anything in the first place?"

The god looked up at the new voice to frown. "I didn't?"

"You're still stupid."

He ignored the comment to think about all the exchanges he had with Cale. "Oh." Indeed, maybe he had forgotten that detail. "Maybe I should make notes, "Don't forget!""

"You'd forget to read them." He ignored the comment again.

"Don't you have work to do?" He wanted to get rid of this annoying person. Even if he didn't contradict his idea, he probably would.

"Yes but I heard you whining so I came to see you."

"How nice of you." The sarcasm was obvious. "Get out of my office, I have work to do."

"A job that you imposed on yourself by being an idiot." He concluded his sentence with a laugh.

He suddenly wondered, if on his desk there was something that could be thrown away.

In front of the black gaze of the god of death, he decided to leave while still laughing all with a word of farewell. "It was a pleasure to see you again!"

Now alone, he sighed once more. "These gods are really tiring!"

Deruth, who was still in the same room, had sat down on the bed. He suddenly felt very exhausted. He was sure it was from all the stress he'd been under over the last few days. And above all, the despair he'd felt ever since he'd heard about his son. Before he knew it, he was asleep, his body sliding smoothly to the floor.

---

He suddenly opened his eyes again, but in an unfamiliar place. "What the..."

"Hello, to cut a long story short I am the god of death. Welcome to my home!" He waited a few seconds for the Count to understand his words. and continued :

"I am the originator of the body change that took place between Cale, your son and Kim Rok Soo the person who is currently in his body. Rok Soo, didn't know anything. Cale and I established a contra, and he is fine. He is currently in Rok Soo's old world and is happy. It's a bit complicated but you see, he has no intention of coming back, he has his mother or sooner his reincarnation. Hmm, yeah it's complicated as I said but you don't have to worry so much. Just take care of my child, I'll keep an eye on you!" He scanned his thoughts to see if he'd forgotten anything. He absolutely had to leave nothing out. Otherwise, he'd never hear the end of it, and the gods would laugh at him forever.

"I-huh?" Deruth didn't really know what to say after all this information being thrown at him, why even his late wife had appeared in the conversation ? His expression was stunned and incredulous.

"Just accept it." The god rolled his eyes. The count was speechless, as if it were that simple !

 "You know, your Cale did this to save you all and this person is the key to succeed. Without Kim Rok Soo, your world would be doomed-" A kind of shiver ran through him, it was so strong that even the count could see it. "Oh, that's no good, you've got to go and see him before it's too late! Cale or Kim Rok Soo, whatever you call him, is a good person and above all a hope for your world." He sent the Count back to his world with a hasty wave of his hand and seemed to run off somewhere. At any rate, these were the last images Deruth saw.

---

He woke up abruptly, got up quickly to look for C-Kim Rok Soo, he had to go back to his room, that's where he'd left him. His thoughts were as chaotic as ever, the god hadn't even given him time to respond or even understand what had happened before dropping another bomb on him. But that wasn't important right now, if he had to hurry. Even though he'd only spent a short time with him, he could already tell that the god's words were true and, above all, that he'd perhaps become a little attached to him, but there were still points to be clarified in this whole crazy story.

The people who passed him looked at him strangely, but they did not stop his run before he came across Hans.

"Sir?"

"I don't have time, I have to see where K-Cale is." He continued on his way without paying attention to the butler.

"The young master didn't move. He must always be in his-"

Deruth didn't wait for the butler to finish his answer, he rushed to the room in question.
