Everyone's eyes were locked on Isaac and on his hand movements. Alyssa, the little girl, clumsily grabbed a fork and offered it to Isaac. "Thanks…" Isaac accepted it and felt Cole's intense gaze on his neck. Cole's eyes showed coldness. He was no fool. He knew that many would take pity on the little girl and declare her as the winner. 'That must be her tactic… Use cheap tricks, but you won't win and have no choice but to return to your family as a disgrace!' The first food Isaac chose to…-

"Goodbye, Sir!" The Chefs and the rest of the Cooks bowed as Sebastian left the restaurant alongside Isaac. "Your taste buds must be sensitive to notice the lack of salt." While roaming around the streets with Isaac, Sebastian said, "It isn't easy to notice while eating delicious food." Isaac shrugged and had his response ready, "I just felt like it needed salt." Sebastian's mouth curved into a smile. He didn't say anything else. They continued strolling in the streets, appreciating the…

Sebastian rotated the steering wheel and entered a parking lot. The parking lot was surrounded by an active crowd of people moving on with their lives. On other sides of the parking lot, restaurants, food stalls, and all sorts of attractions were built for one purpose, to entertain the residents of Brightstar. Sebastian glanced outside the window, trying to find a vacant parking spot, and soon found one. He gracefully turned the steering wheel, the car's bumper almost grazing a nearby car.…

Isaac and Simo reached the Garden, where they were before visiting Adam. However, when Isaac stepped into the garden, he noticed his vision becoming noticeably worse. ''Eh?'' Thud! He fell down to his knees, and his vision became from bad to worse. ''…'' Simo halted his steps and saw Isaac rubbing his eyes. ''W-What is happening?'' Isaac looked around him but couldn't see anything. His vision was utterly dark. Simo glanced at Isaac's legs, which were slowly turning into golden…

They got seated. Adam opened the first page of the newspaper and enjoyed a cup of smoking hot coffee. The newspaper was made by the Herald of Gods, Hermes. He traversed through every Realm and wrote every important thing down. The result was God's Newspaper. Simo grabbed a scrap of paper from his front pocket. He began to read, his eyes skimming through the text. Isaac's body was stiff as he kept glancing back and forth between two Mythical Figures. He felt like he didn't belong in their…

Simo and Isaac reached a Garden located in the Heavenly Neighborhood. The building was grandiose with an extravagant garden. In the middle of the garden was a table for three and a large apple tree. ''Whew.'' Simo dragged the chair behind him and got seated. Isaac followed and sat on another chair. His body almost sank in once his butt landed on the cushion. ''What is this place?'' Isaac asked once he was seated. ''My home,'' Simo said nonchalantly. He looked somewhat disinterested while…

Zarfel strode away, disregarding the screams of nearby prisoners. Isaac's hand trembled as he held the piece of paper that felt heavier than moment ago. Rip! He ripped it apart out of anger, ''This is bullshit!'' ''Hello, newcomer.'' A teasing voice came from the opposite cell. An elderly man with dark hair and broken teeth revealed his face, ''First time? Hahahaha!'' ''Hahahaha!'' Prisoners of nearby cells copied his laughter and started taunting the white-haired youth. ''Fuck!'' Isaac…

Isaac looked around and saw a mesmerizing scenery. Lush forest with pure green leaves and budded blossoms. ''Golden apples?'' Isaac extended his hand and picked an apple from one of the trees. The apple glimmered under the starlight. ''Is this eatable?'' He thought aloud. He moved his finger around the gold apple and felt tempted to try it out. He opened his mouth wide open, grazed the apple with his teeth, and took a large bite. Crunch! The eaten parts of the apple traversed through his…

''Not planning to answer?'' The Trickster turned the dagger around and wiped the remainder of the blood with Isaac's shoulder. ''H-How…'' A blurry whisper reached the Trickster's ears. ''Hmm?'' He bent closer, positioning his ear in front of Isaac's lips, ''What did you say?'' ''How… Are you…'' Whenever Isaac opened his mouth. He felt like an invisible power pushed his lip down. ''Strong?'' The Trickster finished the unspoken words he expected to hear. Isaac barely managed to nod.…

''Goodbye…'' The bare-chested man grinned with a bloodied hand. He spun around and strode away with a relaxing look. ''Ugh…'' Isaac coughed out blue blood, and when he believed his life was slowly slithering out, an unexpected notification popped up. His weary eyes became hyper-focused. In his pupils, light bluish snowflakes emerged out of nowhere. He quickly scanned the nearby space and noticed the bare-chested man slowly stepping away. 'I can't win!' The first thought arose after a…
