Return From God Quest
34. The Normal Day

Gods have always been described as supreme entities in the entire realm. Keeping the balance of the world is their job. Set destiny, give happiness, become a protector to rule life and even death.

Is that really so?.

Think so, then the question of why do they need heroes?.

Couldn't their own strength eliminate all life-threatening problems in the world?.

But why would they take humans from different worlds as heroes. It was obvious that he had no relationship or problems with the other world.

All the questions that came to my mind accumulated to form new ideas, making me slowly change my perspective towards the entity called God.

‘Are they just parasites?.’

Starry night, the forest feels so quiet even though the sounds of animals and insects often make the forest feel crowded.

Sayup-sayup heard the sound of pain that increasingly more clearly heard. The sound came from a simple house with only one illumination.

There was a woman in it, she endured the pain on the bed, her breathing hunted irregularly.

Her enlarged stomach indicates that she is pregnant, and now the woman is struggling alone to give birth to a child in her womb.

Many times he tried to make a push but the unbearable pain made him despair.

No one wanted to help him who was calm risking his life.

No one beside her gave her support so that the woman remained and continued to try.

He was left alone by the people he had saved. All because of the baby in the womb.

The last bloodline of a race that was so hated, even a god cursed it.

The god had given the woman the task of eliminating the entire cursed race, but a mistake had made her give birth to the race she had exterminated.

Almost ten hours passed, the night sky was shining brightly indicating the sun was preparing to reveal itself, along with that the cry of a baby broke out in the middle of the forest.

With her body still so weak, the woman took her newborn child. It was a baby boy, gently kissing his son's forehead, until the tears of happiness could not bear.

With great care he took care of the baby, cut the umbilical cord and bathed it. He seemed to be indifferent to the state of his own body that had lost a lot of blood after giving birth.

The baby's cry slowly stopped as it felt safe in his mother's arms. A smile rose on the lips of the woman, in her heart so delighted as if she had just obtained the most precious treasure.

But the happiness did not last long when the woman's body began to emit a light that was slowly getting brighter.

Fear filled the woman's mind, she did not want to be separated from her child.

He was afraid that no one would take care of his baby after his departure.

He was afraid of the future of his son who had cursed blood. He thought the world would not accept his existence.

"God, please take my son with me."

The woman pleaded with sadness. But the baby's body still remained the same, no light shone from it.

The baby woke up and came back crying, as if he knew his mother's grief. Time goes on, parting after a short meeting is very painful.

Even death was less painful than what the woman was feeling right now.

Until the end the woman disappeared into a flake of light, leaving her baby who continued to weep for her disappearance.

Triying!

The sound of an alarm woke me from sleep. With consciousness still floating I tried to turn off the alarm on the phone. After that all I did was look up at the ceiling of my room.

Usually, in the morning when I wake up from sleep I immediately get out of bed to do sports, but this morning I feel so lazy.

Long enough I was pensive until the sound of knocking on the door roused me from the daydream. Apparently a maid came to my room to make sure I was awake.

The maid then relayed the message that Grandpa was waiting for me in the dining room. Hearing that I finally got out of bed, I didn't want to make grandfather worry.

"I don't think that my favorite grandson will wake up late on his first day as a second grader." Grandpa said as soon as I saw me coming down the stairs.

"Sorry Grandpa for making you wait."

There was no response from Grandpa after I apologized, he must have noticed that there was something strange about me.

"Did something happen?."

She could easily see it, I could not hide anything from her. Should I tell Grandpa the truth?.

I actually have no problem at all to say everything, but could it be that he would understand?.

Everything I'm about to say will probably sound strange to the point that it's impossible to believe. That was evident when I talked about it with Panji, my colleague who is currently unemployed.

Even a veteran Weebo like him could not believe that I had been sent to another world.

"No way." Panji firmly refused to believe the story I told.

When I asked him what the reason was, he said some strange things that I could not understand.

"You don't meet the classification to be a hero in another world. At least you have to finish 500 anime titles and become a Nolep for 10 years as the minimum requirement of being summoned by hero summoning magic."

I don't know if there's such a condition in hero summoning magic. Panji's confidence for a moment made me doubt my knowledge of magic.

‘If the most shameful person I know doesn't even believe what I'm telling you. How could an ordinary person like Grandpa would believe him.’

In the end I had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Last night I had a dream about mom and dad."

Grandfather was surprised to hear that, he quickly understood what was happening. In the instant the atmosphere at the breakfast place became quiet, I was very sorry for ruining Grandpa's mood.

I was trying to melt the atmosphere, it was quite successful because grandpa was back as usual. In the end we made an appointment to visit the graves of my parents later.

Royal School enters new school year. As a superior school it is natural that the school gets many new students. But unlike this year, where the number of new students decreased dramatically to less than half the number of years before.

Even the situation was further aggravated by the students who had gone to school suddenly submitted their resignations and chose to move to another school. All made the state of the Royal school become increasingly quiet.

It is not too difficult to know the cause of the Royal school being abandoned. Many aspects that can be the cause but the most impactful is the act of violence that occurs as long as one girl knows.

The crowd at the entrance of the Royal school suddenly stopped, every old disciple was speechless as if someone was pressing the Pope button.

All the old disciples were goosebumps of fear, they thought for everything to leave that place, but the fear they felt made them unable to move.

The gripping silence instantly made the new disciple wonder what was going on. It seems like there are still many who do not know about the current state of the Royal school.

All of this happened because of the arrival of one person.

A girl who looked so beautiful with long black hair was straight, her sharp eyes were extremely eye catching. The school uniform he wore was not as luxurious as a normal student. But the baseball bat he was carrying seemed to tell everyone not to get close.

"Normal day." Karin.

He was about to go to his new class, but suddenly a commotion broke out in the back when a sedan car arrived in front of the Royal school.

When Karin saw the car that had been surrounded by students, she immediately realized what made the students so noisy.
