Madojin quietly observed a trail of ants crawling through the grass. This place was different from the city. Among the lush greenery, the soil was prepared just right for small lives to flourish. Urban forests always felt somehow desolate. Trees and flowers were fenced off within designated areas, preserved as though they were generously allowed…

“It’s been a while since we’ve been here.” Jeong Noeul smiled brightly. “…It has.” I answered while hugging my knees. The faint scent of trees tickled my nose. The thick grass swayed in the breeze, creating a pleasant sound, and beyond that, Han Iro could be seen calmly enjoying the scenery. We were at Geahrzimen’s…

The Archangel Who Cast Down the King of Hell was, alongside the Star Hated by All, one of the oldest Stars. Thus, there was little shapeless knowledge unknown to him. If anything remained unknown, it would be why he and the Star Hated by All were created in the first place. Where did the Savior…

A white space. A corner of Heaven, where not even the slightest murmur could be heard. The sound of feathers brushing echoed. Tap. Finally, the sound of footsteps.

And also… they asked me to deliver a message to…

The woman before him was beautiful. His Star, ‘Ever-Burning Mother,’ was truly a beautiful being. Aiden had thought so ever since he first saw her form. He was well aware of the mythology of ‘Ever-Burning Mother’ concealed behind a holy symbol. A goddess who, once in the seat of a creator god, fell to the…

“I see.” Aiden chuckled. “Salvation….” Salvation, huh. Aiden repeated the word as if savoring its texture. I silently observed the situation. Then, suddenly, I locked eyes with Jeong Hangyeol. It felt strange. I definitely knew this person, yet at the same time, I didn’t. It felt as if the two halves of my mind were…

‘They’ve arrived.’ I narrowed my eyes. Tiny dots floated from afar and reached my side before I knew it. <It seems we’re not late.> Mika spoke as she set foot on top of the spire. <No, you were truly sluggish.> Star looked up at Mika with a displeased expression. I scratched the back of my…

I once had such a dream. A dream of falling from a high place. The context of the dream begins to fade after opening my eyes. Therefore, what I can recall at best are sensations. For example: In some city. A forest of densely packed skyscrapers. My body falls through a gap in between. I…
