Embers and Oil

When Martin appears on TV, there is a scene where he jumps on the bed and sings a strange song.

“Eh… … .”

The man who was sitting next to God and eating popcorn shook his head.

“You’re crazy, Loki.”

Yes.

He was the god of Norse mythology, Loki.

At the words of the man who is also an apostle, Loki pointed at the TV and shouted.

“hey! You don’t know how great that is! That… So, for the gods, this is a major event that would have come as a bigger shock than half the universe being blown away!”

“I don’t know about that, I’m spilling popcorn, so I’d like you to stay still.”

“Tsk tsk, at a time like this, don’t worry about popcorn… … .”

Loki, who had been clicking his tongue, suddenly smiled widely and placed a hand on the man’s shoulder.

“So I like you. He is also my apostle! fun!”

“Uh-huh- if you like me like that, give me a spirited ability or something… … .”

Loki smiled at the man’s words and muttered with a serious face.

“It’s no fun when it ends like this.”

“yes?”

“Hold a press conference right now.”

“… What else are you going to say?”

Loki smiled mischievously.

“The fire is burning, so we need to pour oil on it.”

“… … .”

Loki is a bit different from other constellations.

Unlike other gods who can manifest themselves in the human world in a very limited way by law, Loki was able to freely appear through magic called illusion.

It was like that even now.

Loki, who triumphantly said he would pour oil on the fire, was in human form.

‘Only one… I want to hit just one.’

If you’re a powerless Loki now, it’s possible for you to hit yourself, even though you’re a hunter, but you’re close to a normal person.

Loki’s apostle, Kanghyun, sincerely wanted to hit Loki.

How happy he was when he first became Loki’s apostle.

Kanghyeon had such a sweet dream that he himself would now become a teenage hunter and hold a lot of wealth and honor.

There were few gods as famous as Loki throughout the constellation, so his expectations were justified.

But it didn’t take long to realize that it was an impossible dream.

Loki didn’t give him any powers.

He only took his body when he needed it and did what he had to do.

‘It reminds me of the Ragnarok incident.’

A few years ago, there was an incident that stirred the earth in relation to Ragnarok.

Ragnarok.

It refers to the event that brings about the destruction of Norse mythology by Loki and his children Fenrir, Jormungand, and Hel.

Well, the myth continues even after Ragnarok, so it can’t be called true destruction, but everyone has no choice but to admit that it is a great event that decorates the end of the myth.

You might wonder why the earth would be noisy because of the story in the myth, but suddenly a press conference was held and what Kanghyun said made the earth turn upside down.

– Ragnarok will explode soon.

Even though his abilities were meager, the ripple effect was bound to be great because it was the words of Kang Hyun, who is enshrining Loki as a constellation.

Because Loki was the one who led the Ragnarok.

It wouldn’t have mattered if that story remained just a mythical event, but the earthlings who already knew God through the constellation and came together could not accept Ragnarok as just a mythical story.

What effect will Ragnarok have on Earth?

Discussions and research were conducted on the subject every day.

But a month later, Kang Hyun held a press conference again.

This time, Kanghyun didn’t come out at Loki’s command, but Loki held a press conference with Kanghyeon’s body stolen.

At the time when all the eyes and ears of the earth were turning to him, what Loki said to Kanghyun’s body was,

– What I said a month ago was a joke. May you work in peace.

was

What was truly dizzying was that Loki gave his body back to Kanghyeon after making such a foolish remark.

In the quiet press conference room, Kanghyun, whose face had turned white, was at a loss for what to do, when the reporter sitting in the front row spat out the words.

-Art crazy cubs.

Even now, Kanghyun couldn’t forget the anger and pitiful emotions contained in the reporter’s expression and words.

‘It still appears in my dreams… … .’

Kang Hyun has already gone through such a dark history.

I’d say he’s had a strong enough heart, given that he’s been through that situation, and that Rocky didn’t start a fight when he was told he had to hold a press conference.

“When I think of that time, I wake up suddenly even after a very deep sleep. you know? I haven’t been able to go outside since then.”

ah-

It gives me goosebumps even thinking about it again.

However, to such Kanghyeon, Loki said it was not a big deal.

“Even before that, you didn’t go out much.”

“… … .”

It is an undeniable fact.

“If someone hears about the topic of watching strange cartoons while being stuck in a room all the time, they’ll know you’re an active person in the first place.”

“… You hit me to the bone like this.”

No matter how much it is, isn’t it too much for an apostle who needs to cherish and cherish!

Loki smiled at Kanghyun, who was trembling.

“Stop talking and prepare for a press conference. It’s no joke this time. if not… … .”

“… Or not?”

“Do I do it like back then?”

Kanghyun shook his hand in fright.

“Oh, no. I will do it.”

I can never make a dark history like that again.

‘I’d rather do it with my mouth…’ … .’

What can I do?

‘It’s my fault for receiving this constellation in the first place.’

Kanghyun sighed and picked up the phone.

“Manager, it’s been a while. I am holding a press conference because I have something to say about the miracle of the saint that happened today.”

The manager’s voice is heard over the phone.

Loki used that voice as music and lay down with his head resting on his arms and chewed on popcorn.

“Well… Popcorn tastes like onions after all.”

Healed people and returned to the mansion.

The people who treated me comfortably until I went outside look at me with awe. Even Sir James.

The only people who were looking at me with the same eyes as usual were my father, Aline and other children, and Leon.

‘As expected, family is the best.’

My father came over and patted me on the shoulder.

“Isn’t that overkill?”

“What a crowd. Rather, I gained a lot. I got some karma.”

“Ohh… That’s good.”

It’s just not good enough.

I craved over 30,000 karma with this single shot!

Of course, that’s not all that was gained.

“I realized something, but I will go to the training room first.”

He is young in his father’s eyes.

“That’s it. Don’t rush, do it slowly. know?”

If something goes wrong in the 9-star state, no one can help.

The reason why the development of 9-star superhumans is slow is right there.

My father was pinching this point.

“sure. You don’t have to worry.”

After bowing his head to his father and patting the children’s heads, he went down to the basement where the training room was.

The first thing I did after arriving at the training room was to walk slowly and increase my mana step by step.

It’s for adaptation.

but it’s kinda weird

‘It’s too easy.’

Originally, there should be something like awkwardness or a sense of intimacy.

Even if it’s a path I’ve already passed once, the current me is different from the me before returning, and the path of magical power is also slightly different, so it can’t be exactly the same as before.

It was for this reason that I went through a process of adaptation every time I raised my star rating.

But it is so soft.

As if the adaptation had already been completed.

‘Ohh… … .’

Since there is no difference between now and before the second regression, does that mean there is no need for adaptation?

It’s probably for that reason.

I smiled and sat down on the floor.

Then he remembered the time when he used ‘Healing Light’.

To be exact, the heat haze I saw then.

It’s almost gone already, like sand in my hand, but I still remember that omnipotent feeling then.

‘It’s definitely related to transcendence… … .’

What transcendental and god have in common is that they deal with karma.

I’m trying to find that clue in the haze.

‘Then let’s start.’

I took out the ‘Healing Light’ from the warrior’s bracelet.

* * *

A press conference was held at the H Hotel in Seoul on the night of the so-called ‘Miracle of the Saint’, in which Martin healed as many as 100 people with a single gesture.

The person who held the interview was none other than Loki’s apostle, Kang Hyeon.

An enormous crowd, including reporters, gathered at Hotel H.

And most of them remembered the old incident.

“It reminds me of Ragnarok.”

“I was a little embarrassed at the time.”

“Gosh… Only after it turned out to be a joke, how bleak it was before that.”

The apocalypse theory was widespread, and as phenomena such as hoarding took place, there was no such thing as an uproar.

“Think of Kanghyun Hunter’s constellation as a God who wasn’t as good as Loki. Were you really upset?”

“That’s right. How is it this time? Is this a joke again?”

“no way. If you do, you could really get hit and die this time.”

“why? i think i can do that Are you the god of jokes for no reason?”

Around the time similar conversations were being heard here and there, Kanghyun stood in front of the podium.

“Hello, how are you? I am Kanghyun, an apostle of Loki.”

As soon as the reporters’ eyes seemed to focus on him, Kanghyun opened his mouth.

“There are two ways to become a god.”

Reporters shook their heads.

I want to say something again this time, so the beginning is like that, right?

They said it was a story related to the ‘miracle of the saint’. Suddenly, why are you talking about God?

Roughly such a question arose.

Kanghyun continued talking without paying attention to the reporters’ reactions.

“First, to be born as a child of God. A child of a god inherits his godhood and becomes a god. Like the twelve gods of Olympus. And the second way is to attain enlightenment and become a god.”

After saying that, the reporters looked at Kanghyun with puzzled eyes as he stepped away from the microphone and wiped his sweat for a while.

buzz buzz.

And looking at those reporters, Kang Hyun… … .

‘I’ll turn!’

It was literally crazy and to the point of jumping up and down.

‘Do I really have to do this?’

I really don’t want to… … .

But Loki was adamant.

[no? Should I do it now?]

‘Ugh… no.’

Kanghyun cried and stood in front of the microphone again with the feeling of eating mustard.

“Sooner or later, the world is in danger of destruction.”

in the minds of journalists

– Ragnarok will explode soon.

– What I said a month ago was a joke. May you work in peace.

It was natural to think of things from a few years ago.

Therefore, the atmosphere was not very serious.

Again, this is considered a joke.

Seeing reporters like that makes me feel like a shepherd… While Kanghyun was thinking that way, a reporter asked a question.

“Are you kidding me again?”

“… no.”

Another reporter shouted in a voice full of laughter.

“Can you name God?”

Read at noblemtl. com

Giving your name to a god is the same as betting everything.

In the worst case, it is a dangerous thing that existence itself may disappear.

Therefore, the reporter did not ask the question thinking that it would be real. I just wanted to put a face on Loki and Kanghyun who keep playing these pranks.

However, Kanghyun opened his mouth.

“yes.”

At that one word, silence fell in the noisy conference hall.

Someone looked around, doubting their ears, wondering if they had heard it wrong.

If that statement is true, it means that the earth is truly on the verge of extinction.

But Kanghyun… … .

“I speak in the name of Loki. Sooner or later, the crisis of destruction will come to the earth.”

I was completely killed by confirmation.

A chilled-out conference room.

Kanghyun let out a small sigh and opened his mouth again.

“Earth could be destroyed soon, so why don’t you believe in someone who wants to become a god by gaining enlightenment? don’t you know again? I wonder if he will save the earth.”

At that moment, questions explode like bombs.

Naturally, all the questions were the same.

“Who is he?”

Kang Hyun, who raised his hand to calm the commotion,

“You guys already know, don’t you?”

He replied and walked out of the conference room.
