Chapter 249: The Tragedy of the Man who Loves a Goddess 1

A lone man stands in front of a large gate. He leans on his sword tiredly and his last stand against his enemy ends as more of them came out from the gate that shines with the color of sinister, an abyss that dye the whole place in rabid darkness.

Even in his last moment, he just thought of all the regrets, all of the things he repents, all of the people he still wanted to meet and to protect, however, his time expired.

It was a dozen of year since he let go every droplet of his anger, his wrath, and his contempt to the gods. What he can only feel now is the emptiness encroaching in his heart. Even in the bitter end, he did his best to lighten the burden for the next generation.

Time seems slower as he thinks back about everything that happened in his life.

From the very start he arrived in this world up to this moment where a thousand of years passed.

The man loved a woman, a woman who stayed beside him in his hard time as he becomes the target of everyone’s oppression.

The man found girls who helped him grew into a better person and awaken his sincere and more honest side.

The man found a girl who understands and respects him for his strength and his overall value as a man and found a common interest with him.

And lastly, the man found another girl who treated and evaluated him highly who later, becomes more attached to him.

Every girl he met loved him and in return, he promises happiness.

However, he couldn’t keep his promise…

The very first girl he met confessed her love and in return, he loved the woman. Both of them started having dreams. The girls together with him became happy for them but at the same time, wanted the same attention.

The day the first woman announces that she was pregnant…is the day all of them met their end in hand of another summoned hero.

Brutally killed, murdered, beaten to death, and even violated their lifeless body.

The man who was pinned on the ground, saw everything, especially how his pregnant lover was stabbed in the head.

It was the day the man curses that gods and goddess of this world for the fate they weaved for him. In his rage, the man murdered hundreds of thousand men in his wake. Not satisfied with the trail of blood that he left, he also murdered those who are involved, child or elderly, men and women, none are spared from his wrath.

His feelings as a human appeared and a never ending rage corrupted his heart. The man becomes deranged and he becomes merciless. Through the power he harnesses born from his hatred of gods and goddesses, he transcends from a normal human to a monster feared by anyone who meets him.

He is aware of his actions, he is aware of his heart being consumed by his own anger, and for that reason, he steered clear from living beings.

One day, after hundreds of years, he met a peculiar young elven girl who felt no fear, with the same dead eyes as him who was about to become a slave for her whole life.

She saved that elven girl.

However, he treated the girl indifferently. He neither disliked nor liked her company. The girl just tirelessly followed him around. Likewise, the girl didn’t show any affection or any gratitude to the man, she just followed him.

Until one day, the elven girl strikes a conversation with him. At such young age, she has overflowing potential, at such young age, she can understand logic and has critical thinking, and, at such young age, her values of lives of people are nothing more than a speck of sand in a desert.

A hundred of years passed and the elven girl becomes a woman. She is still following the man after all the murders he left in his wake.

However, as the elven woman accumulates more knowledge, she felt that something is off. She began gaining compassion and sympathy for every life around her. She realized how atrocious the man is and persuaded him to stop.

Either way, the elven woman felt that even if it just a little, she try to instill some emotion to him by whatsoever way, either pester him with her affection or have bodily contact.

The man, feeling that he is compelled to follow the elven woman’s wishes, settled down in the fairy forest, the place where he previously lived with his previous lover.

Years and years have passed and the man and the elven woman cannot see each other eye to eye anymore. The man becomes more and more deranged as he was holed up on his own, regretting over things he wasn’t able to do in the past.

The fox girl gave birth to a young and healthy baby girl who grew up attached to him, the man who was despite by everyone.

Years have passed and the little fox girl becomes a young lady in the care of her own mother who was even young at that time.

A hero made her appearance. A hero with platinum strawberry hair, however, as they met, she was battered and scared.

Being compassionate, the elven woman took the hero in and cared for her. She pleaded for their help to save the humans from the demons, however, being the outcast of society, she swallowed the decline of the elven woman.

The hero wanted to avenge her companions the fell in the battle against the demons, but, to no avail, the elven woman made her realized that they were betrayed by the very humans they trusted.

Because of the shock from the news that the very people she trusted, let her companions die, she weeps and a psychological damage occurred in her.

Her legs become numb because of the trauma brought to her heart. The simple injury becomes a long lasting psychological effect the made her unable to live a normal life.

His wrath has reawakened and once again, he destroyed another kingdom in his blind rage. The elven woman lost every light of hope to change the man to be a better human. She lamented and she gave up on the man, never again look at him in the eyes.

Until one day, the man who hated the gods, the man who despite every creation, the man who emotionlessly killed countless of lives, now, is facing the very goddess who sent him to this world himself.

The goddess who said to brought miracles and blessings to all people, the one who was told to bring happiness and joy to those who pray to her.

At his doorstep, the goddess bowed down, begging for forgiveness. The goddess who is supposed to be the embodiment of power is no more than a frail girl in the man’s sight. His rage never wagered and if he ever sees a god, he won’t waste time not to kill them.

The goddess begs for forgiveness, even offering her own life to appease him. However, the man felt that he was being coerced so he ignored the goddess.

For seven days and seven nights, the goddess didn’t budge from the man’s doorstep. Even if it rains, shine, cold, hot, and at last, she became sick.

Pitiful and an idiot…

That’s what the mind thought of that moment as he picked up the sick and unconscious goddess I his doorstep. However, deep inside him, rather than anger, he was amazed on how stubborn the goddess is. It should the man who should be apologizing for all the life he took, not the goddess.

The man took care of her but showed no visible emotions. However, the goddess was so persistent that the man becomes more annoyed with her but not mad.

The goddess stayed by his side all the time, which made him remind every day of the day he lost the lives he cares about.

It’s alright. They move on with a smile, knowing that you lived.

Is what the goddess said to the man as they visited the graves of the man’s previous companions…

Tears…

Tears rolled down from the man’s cheeks as he heard those words from the goddess. He doesn’t even remember when the last time he felt tears streaming downward on his cheeks. In that very moment, his wrathful heart attained tranquility.

At that very moment, he couldn’t do anything but cry and roar in the sky while he kept repeating the word sorry.

And at that very moment, the man felt that he was able to move on from his past.

Love…

It was the second thing that born with his relationship with the goddess.

Days have passed, weeks have passed, months have passed, and years have passed, the man who was kept accompanied by the goddess fell in love more. The goddess has also fallen in love with the man.

The elven woman who was a witness felt utter jealousy.

The goddess did what she couldn’t do in hundreds of years, the goddess made the man fall for her effortlessly and the elven woman couldn’t do it, but most of all, the elven woman felt extremely torn apart because of her unjustified jealousy and how she abandoned any hope for the man to change.

In bitter despair, the elven woman left. She left the fairy forest to get away from them because of how painful it was for her.

It was the same for the fox girl who became attached to the man, she felt that she was unseen anymore and was emotionally hurt. In order for her to move on, she left the fairy forest with a separate path from the elven woman.

The goddess became pregnant within the year she became the man’s lover and gave birth to their child, a child who will produce countless generations that carry both of their blood.

Time passes and their lineage has come so far. Their most recent descendant has far thinner blood of a divine flowing in his vein.

And in an unprecedented accident, their whole lineage was wiped out leaving only one child who was on the verge of death.

It was a child whose hair is as fair as the goddess, a pure white snow and eyes as clear as the sky. The only way to save the child was an idea that the man thought to be the best. The man thought that the extinction of their lineage is his payment for his crimes.

The power, detested by the gods, the power that took so many lives, the power that later in the child’s life, will be a deformed curse that will distort his view in his life, was passed. The child who was on the verge of death inherited the cursed power of the man who will later be known as the Rage King.

At that time, the goddess herself is pregnant with a second child from the man, however, her time with the man expires. She is certain that the child in her womb won’t find a peaceful place in this world so she left the man who despaired in her departure.

The goddess traveled to another dimension with her newborn child. The child with black hair and black eyes that resemble the man was brought to a world dyed in peace and easier life.

Upon her return to her own dimension, she was imprisoned by the other gods for her past crimes leaving the man lost and again, broken.

In his desperation to find comfort, he made himself busy as the gate that was once sealed by the goddess started reeking with devils.

He immersed himself in an endless fight to hold them back.

However, it was not enough as the years pass.

The man tried to find comfort from the elven woman who already found her place within the elven community.

Still feeling responsible for the man, the elven woman who at that time, lost her first husband, embraced him in her chest which in the end, had her pregnant.

As they have a child together, the elven woman suggested that the man should meet the fox girl who once madly in love with him.

Per the suggestion of the elven woman, the man visited the fox girl just to find out that she is still madly in love with him thus, leading to another child.

The elven woman gave birth one year earlier to the fox girl in which she delivered a twin. The fox girl gave birth to a healthy baby with the almost exact same feature as her mother.

Through his daughters, the man found a little solace, however, he always thought of the child he had with the goddess in another world.

Despite the happiness brought by his daughters, the man knows…

The impending crisis brought by the gate filled with endless evil...and…his time… the time his life will wither is close.

He wanted to meet the goddess he loves one more time, he wanted to meet the child he never saw even for once in his life, he wanted to save this world to give a bright future for the people of this world.

But he is no less than a murderer. He will never ever escape his sins. He hasn’t paid the price of his crimes yet.

He needs to hold back the calamity that will hit this world…

And thus, his life ended fighting…

Left with his regret over the decisions in his long life, with desires, with hopes, and wanting to see the light at the end of his actions…

Dying…

Dying with all of these heavy feelings…

The man dies...

The man who suffered such fate, the name of the man is—

.

I wake up feeling a little hallowed.

What I saw in front of me are five devils.

Devils with a sign in their head from I to V.

Ah, it seems they just defeated me as I am staked in a tree with something hard. I even have a sword sticking into my guts. Obviously, I am bathing in my own blood…

Hmm…this is bad…I am dying…

“This is a really shitty situation…”
