Tap-tap-tap. Tap-tap-tap. Ting-! Clack!  

Tap-tap-tap. Tap-tap-tap. Ting-! Clack!

After finishing lunch, Forrest return...

“Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you, too.”

As soon as Forrest appeared, Marie and Joanna immediately stood up to greet him.

Judging by the atmosphere, they seemed to have been sitting awkwardly, which was understandable.

Marie and Joan...

Time is money.  

Following this maxim, Al skillfully finished washing the dishes and promptly prepared to go out.  

“Are you going to the restaurant again today?”  

“Where else would a wealthy old man like...

Beep-beep-beep-beep-!

Beep-beep-beep- click!

“Ughhhhh…”

Awoken by the alarm, the old man groaned as he slowly opened his eyes.

The world, like his eyelids, was ...

Epilogue - Boy (7)

Thunk─!!

The warlock swung his fist, landing another blow on Puppet's face as he stared at the ceiling.

Valeri didn’t stop his disciple, allowing Puppet to slump his head lower, more shocked than before.

Intense pain spread from one side of his f...

Epilogue – Boy (6)

"Ah…"

…Right, he remembered.

Who the old man standing before him was.

It was Valeri, the head of the Valeri family.

After staring at him for a while, he finally recalled. Among the many warlocks Puppet had encountered over the centuries, Valeri was one of...

Epilogue – Boy (5)

With a chilling silence, the creaking sound of screws echoed, and Puppet’s time began to flow slowly.

In that sluggish world, Puppet saw it.

Click!

One of the armed personnel’s mouth hung wide open.

It was closer to a doll than a human—...

Epilogue – Boy (4)

The mind is influenced by the body.

The countries in the East denied this fact and claimed that everything could be achieved with willpower alone, but that was clearly nonsense.

Having conducted countless human experiments, Puppet could assert this confidently.

No ...

#777

Epilogue - Boy (3)

For a warlock, the most important thing was humans.

It might sound like a contradictory statement, but it was true.

In order to use black magic, human emotions and life force were essential, and for creating manipulation-type black magic and black magic items, corpses, hum...

Epilogue - Boy(2)

"Time for food."

As the thick iron door opened, a man entered and abruptly announced.

Unlike the dark, gloomy interior of the prison, the outside was bright, and the sudden influx of light from the opened door caused people to shield their eyes in pain.

Everyone excep...

Epilogue - Boy (1)

A world as blurry as if shrouded in fog. In that place, Puppet saw the children.

The children were as indistinct as the world, barely visible like shadow puppets.

As a result, it was impossible to see the expressions on the children's faces, but that did not mean they coul...

Gardener (4)

A proposal from God to create a new gardener.

When the man shared that fact, silence descended.

However, that silence didn’t last long before it was broken.

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch…

By Oliver, who was calmly eating a chocolate cookie.

#773

Gardener (3)

Upon opening the door, a landscape both alien and familiar unfolded.

A void where there were no floors, walls, or ceilings.

In the midst of this void, there was a table and two sofas, standing alone.

Sitting on one of the sofas was a man with shadows cast across his face.<...

The Gardener (2)

Step.

Step.

Step.

Oliver continued walking through the pitch-black space.

There was nothing in this space. No walls, floors, ceilings, or sky. Not even up, down, left, or right.

All that existed was endless...

The Gardener (1)

Time keeps flowing.

No matter what happens.

Good things, bad things, tragically terrible things, even miraculous events, time keeps flowing and turns everything into the past, gradually fading their meaning and color.

This was no exception for Oliver, who had prevent...

Oliver (11) 

The elders of the Anti-Development committee ran down the deep hallway, and shortly afterward, returned with some young men.

They silently passed by Oliver, leading the bewildered young men, and Oliver likewise let them go without a word.

They had already exchanged enough...

Oliver (10) 

"Of course, I’ve been waiting for a long time!"

Ewan, who had been sitting awkwardly among Eve, Pandora, and Lilith, suddenly stood up and shouted.

The people from the Anti-Development committee nearby were shocked by his outburst.

The person in question, Oliver, ...

Oliver (9) 

If you turn back the clock slightly, you can see that quite a lot has happened.

In the heart of the United Kingdom, the capital, the apocalypse unfolded, and salvation was achieved just in time.

Thanks to a boy with twelve wings.

It was, literally, a miracle.

Oliver (8)

Landa is often called the Free City.

This was evident in the fact that people referred to it as the Free City of Landa.

However, Landa had numerous other nicknames.

Due to its immense size, comprised of 26 small cities, it was also called a Mega City.

It was also con...

Oliver (7)

The pure white sky, the pure white snow, and the pure white land.

The land of ice, called the end of the world, could be summarized as such.

It was all white, with nothing else to be seen.

Due to its harsh environment, no human had ever conquered this land, and Oliver ente...

Step.

Step.

Step.

A boy and a man walked side by side through a dense forest, where twilight descended, plunging the surroundings into darkness.

Though the ground beneath their feet was barely visible and stumbling s...

Oliver (5)

Even during the age of magic and industry, hailed as the golden age of humanity, there were places untouched by its blessings.

Such places included the New Continent, the Land of Sand, and the barbaric Eastern Lands. But even among the nations deemed chosen and blessed by the gods, ther...

Oliver (4)

“Kyaahahahaha! Why on earth am I doing this?!”

The Child-Third, inside the Corpse doll Shamus, screamed toward the sky with a feral cry.

That scream could be likened to the wail of a laborer who had worked three days and nights on reconstruction efforts for minimum wage.

Oliver (3)

"I'm sorry."

Oliver said.

"I'm sorry."

He spoke, tears streaming from his eyes.

"I'm truly sorry."

He apologized to Unbending Knee.

"······!"

At the sight, Unbending Knee, consumed by the madness of hatred, momentarily regained sanity and loosen...

Oliver (2)

Through the pitch-black hole torn in the sky, a sea of fire descended.

The chaotic sea of flames, swirling in shades of yellow, orange, and red, shook the world as it began to infuse the fiery sword held by Burnt One.

Oliver (1)

A sinner, shamelessly yearning for salvation despite committing atrocious crimes, shouted:

“I know better than anyone that my sins cannot be forgiven by mere words! Stopping you is nothing but an act of our will─!!”

Surprisingly, those words were sincere. Repenting for his s...

God’s will (10)

In the silence, as if the sound had been cut away.

A wave of humans, composed of paladins, brandished their weapons and charged toward the demon.

The ring of fire above the head of Burnt One spun rapidly and gleamed, burning the foremost paladin to ashes without leaving a t...

God’s will (9)

Oliver assumed his position.

Burnt One clenched his fist.

Whoosh. 

The sound of air burning resonated.

Thud. 

The sound of footsteps echoed.

Oliver walked forward and approached Burnt One.

Burnt One, s...

God’s will (8)

Burnt One spoke.

[What were you expecting?] 

No answer came. 

More precisely, no one dared to answer.

They despaired at the sight of Oliver, his entire body burned, his side and right shoulder pierced, his right arm severed.

And they were overwhel...

#756. God's Will (7)

When Burnt One spread his hands, a massive flame fell through a pitch-black hole torn in the sky.

The flame that broke through the pitch-black sky revealed itself and burned everything below to ashes.

The surrounding buildings and land that withstood the heat of the lava...
