Back at the church every villager had already been dispersed and got back to their homes. Although they now recognize Asher as their saint, they still couldn’t help having doubts in their hearts after experiencing another calamity the day he was brought to church.

Asher's eyes droop slightly and just as he was about to feel sad again he suddenly heard a child that was much more younger to him spoke out loud.

"The reason why that monster appeared is because they are afraid that they'll be defeated if saint Asher becomes a saint!"

Not long after, the sound of other children's cries sounded.

"Yeah! They just don't want us to have a strong and capable saint!"

Then, the adults also joined.

"No matter what, saint Asher will be our only saint!"

Hearing this Asher's eyes shook and he couldn't help tearing up.

Suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder and he saw me looking towards the villagers. I said, "What do you think?"

"What?"

I smiled and turned my head to look at Asher and asked, "Do you think your decision is correct?"

Asher fell silent and lowered his head, he muttered "I don't know if their faith in me is forever..."

Just as I was about to be disappointed he suddenly added a sentence that made me stunned.

"...But right now, I think it is correct and I will make it that it stays the same!"

I widened my eyes in surprise before I smiled gently. "Good"

I then noticed something and asked "By the way"

"Hm?"

I looked around and asked, "Where's Kwan?"

"Oh, I think he went back to the training field" Asher said in response.

"...I see" I narrowed my eyes before I smiled and said "I think we'll be staying here for a little while longer than I thought"

"Really?" Asher's eyes sparkled and I chuckled before rubbing his head, "Yeah"

After that I said goodbye to Asher and went to the training field where they had been practicing, in the forest.

Not long after I finally arrived and saw something that made me dumbfounded for a moment before shaking my head and sighed.

'Swish!'

'Swoosh!'

"Ha!" Choi Kwan who was swinging his sword had his upper body naked revealed his muscular body and sweats dripped all over his forehead. He kept swinging his sword fiercely and domineeringly and yet, from the looks of his, he doesn't seem to be satisfied at all.

I can hear the disappointment in his voice as well as the bitter feeling and anger that is rising within him.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

'He's probably mad about the fact that his skill had no effect against an 「Outer Being」.'

I thought and just stood there, leaning against a tree with my arms crossed as I watched him train.

--

Later Choi Kwan finally finished and wiped away the sweat on his forehead. He was spanting heavily but took a deep breath to steady his breathing.

"Done with venting your anger?"

Choi Kwan flinched and turned to look at me. "Constellation!"

"Why so surprised?" I asked with a chuckle

Choi Kwan's lips parted slightly before he turned his head and said solemnly, "It's nothing"

I curled my lips before it disappeared without a trace and I spoke in a cold voice which made Choi Kwan flinched in surprise.

"Choi Kwan"

Choi Kwan looked at me and I became reluctant before I heaved a deep sigh and spoke. "I know the reason why the villagers in your village died"

'Whoosh'

Slowly, Choi Kwan's eyes widened and the grip on his sword tightened as veins started showing. Seeing him like this, I kind of regretted it but thought, 'He has the right to know about this' I then remembered about his future in the 「Kismet」and thought, 'I also don't want his future to happen'

I also did pondered about this a long time since like what happened to the goddess of light where she tried to prevent the future to happen but was the reason for it to happen. But, Asher, his future changed for now. He who was supposed to be forsaken and massacre the entire village has now become their saviour and saint. There is also the sudden appearance of an 「Outer Being」which was not supposed to happen.

That means I can change the future.

Although this is only a theory of mine, I had a strong feeling that it is a fact, and whatever the outcome is, I'll take full responsibility for their future.

'I want to change their fate!'

Memories of my friends laughter and deaths appeared in my mind and I couldn't feeling a strong determination.

'Like i said before, I shall alter this so called fate! Even if it sounds ambitious, there is nothing impossible anymore in this accursed universe!'

With that thought I finally relived my anxious heart, but then, the next step finally came.

"What do you mean...you know, their deaths?" Asher asked as the winds blew wildly and his eyes are covered by his bangs.

I stared at him before taking a deep breath and finally spoke. "The goddess of light, when i went to the church, she spoke to me"

"Do you believe it?" I asked with an indifferent face as if I wouldn't care what his answer will be.

Chou Kwan was silent before he said "...I do"

Hearing his answer I explained what exactly had happened. "She spoke to me and told me her story, she said that she was once the guardian of your village. Then, she heard a foresaw future from the Angel of Dream and tried to prevent the tragedy by asking help from the capital through the prophet"

"But then..."

The next sentence made Choi Kwan widened his eyes in anger as the corner of his eyes turned red from madness.

"...The prophet betrayed her and told a lie to the higher ups of the capital"

"The prophet said that if they help the villagers of your village then a great calamity will happen them and so decided to sacrifice the villagers for their own sake as they easily believed the prophet's words"

"That's why they died."

"..." Silence befall on us and the only sound we could hear is the sound of winds blowing crazily.

Seeing him silent I turned and said "Well, that's all" and was about to leave when I halted after hearing Choi Kwan speak.

"So...who is at fault here then?"

I was hesitant before I turned to look at him straight into the eyes with a sad expression. Finally, I opened my mouth reluctantly and spoke.

"The foresaw future, the goddess of light seeking for help, the prophet's lies, all of them...were all planned by 'Fate' itself"

Hearing this Choi Kwan recalled my words when we first met each other.

- My goal is to bring justice upon my friends death

- They were off an a mission to hunt down monsters, but unexpectedly the monsters were A - Grade above. When I was informed and arrived, it was already too late

- And that's, when I found out that it was all a set up, by 'Fate'.

'Fate...is this a real thing?' Choi Kwan thought.

After a while seeing that he still has not spoken I turned around. Then, he finally spoke.

"Then i-!"

I stopped and asked "You'll what?"

Choi Kwan had the look of determination in his eyes and said as he placed his hand on his chest, "I shall become stronger, and will also destroy this thing called fate!"

Seeing that my plan is coming together I finally went to the main point.

"Then are you willing to join my organization?"

"Organization...?"

I hummed in reply and said as I looked at the black sky, "I'm thinking of creating a group where the members are seeking to find information about the entire omniverse aswell as-...destroying 'Fate'."

Then, I chuckled and asked, "Do you think i sound too ambitious?"

Just as I was thinking to myself I suddenly heard a confident voice from behind.

"Not at all"

I was surprised when I heard his confident answer and looked back to see him smiling.

"Constellation-...no, Kim Su-Jin, I can already see it" Choi Kwan said which made me puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Hearing my puzzlement Choi Kwan's lips curled up even more and he said, "I can see that you are not a bad person, and that somehow, I don't feel like what you said us impossible at all. If you think about destroying fate makes you sound like a crazy person, then that means I'm also a crazy person"

I was stunned for a long time before I couldn't help laughing out a loud.

"Yeah...that's right" After saying this I turned and said "Well, get some rest. We'll be staying here a little while longer" before finally leaving.

The moment my back disappeared from Choi Kwan's sight he couldn't help being lost in thought as he narrowed his eyes.

'Fate....how excruciating knowing that it can control everything'

He raised his palm before clenching it into a fist as he swore, 'I'll make sure I'll destroy it, no matter what! I must get stronger!'

....

Getting back at the house I found that I was all alone and decided to check my status. That's when I found something that made my eyes widen.

【Status】

【Name】: Light Keiran (Kim Su-Jin)

【Age】: 27

【Species】: 「Fallen」

【Occupation】: 「Reader」

【Titles】: (None)

【Chronicles】: 1

【Aliases】: "Constellation"

Seeing this I couldn't being stunned and puzzled at the same time. 'Why did a new status appeared? Aliases? Is it that easy to achieve?'

'Chronicles...I have a chronicle now?'

I then tilted my head in confusion before I pressed the 【Chronicles】. That's when I found something new and unbelievable.

-【Chronicle: Finality Alterer

An individual who was able to change another individual's future.】

【Ding!】

【A 「Blessing」has been bestowed upon you】

【Would you like to check the 「Blessing」?】

I became stunned by this sudden appearance before I fell into contemplation. Without hesitation I said "Yes"

Then, I became even more dumbfounded.

【The 'Goddess of Light' has bestowed the power of a 「Seer」, the power to see lies and illusions】
