As he slowly raised his head to meet her gaze, the goddess scrutinized Rakrahan’s face meticulously.
A god who became human for love.
That experience had made Rakrahan the most perfect being among the humans she had created.
“I know how to kill you, but I won’t use it.”
The goddess’s eyes narrowed.
Rakrahan’s graceful face was etched above her gray eyes.
“Bercheria has become a goddess, so she cannot kill a god. And I also promise not to kill you in this situation.”
Rakrahan’s voice was gentle, and there was no falsehood.
If there was something hidden within him, she would have sensed it before anyone else.
“The secret that the goddess wanted to hide so badly will now be forever hidden.”
The goddess looked at Rakrahan with a thoughtful expression.
With the world frozen, even the flowing time between them felt suffocating.
Staring at his eyes for a long time, as if it were so stuffy, the goddess, who had been looking at him, suddenly smiled.
“Yes, now I’m also tired of your love story.”
She brought the parallel butterfly that was floating in the air a moment ago between them.
“Do you know what happens if the soul changes with the parallel butterfly, and the power of the divine water is lost?”
“…?”
“The soul disappears. Not even a trace remains.”
“Do I have to be shocked by that fact?”
The goddess laughed out loud.
“There’s no need for that.”
The parallel butterfly suddenly flapped its wings more quickly as if in pain.
“I made a contract with Lawrence a long time ago. I gave her endless reincarnation, and in return, she helps you and Bercheria not meet during her lifetime.”
“Is that a benefit? It sounds like a curse to me.”
“Yeah, humans are foolish. They don’t know that endless life is a curse. I used that.”
The goddess stared silently at the fluttering parallel butterfly.
“I’ll give you a chance.”
Her gaze shifted back to Rakrahan.
“I’m curious how sacred human love can become despite any interference.”
As the butterfly’s wings crumpled, its fluttering became irregular and slower, almost appearing painful.
“Even if the parallel butterfly disappears, I will ensure that Keltia and Lawrence remain unharmed. It’s not against human will, so it’s possible.”
The goddess’s gray pupils became sharp, piercing Rakrahan.
“Rakrahan. Are you sure that despite any interference, Bercheria’s feelings will not change?”
Rakrahan was receiving the goddess’s gaze without any visible reaction.
“Tell me, Rakrahan. Do you trust Bercheria?”
The answer was not difficult.
There was no way it could be difficult.
“I trust her. More than anyone else.”
“Are you confident that her feelings will not change despite any interference?”
It was Bercheria, no one else.
“I am confident.”
“Okay, then let’s make a contract.”
A transparent crystal appeared next to the parallel butterfly.
“If Bercheria’s love for you still remains unaltered despite the interference of these two souls I’ve returned, then I’ll let you go.”
The tendons on Rakrahan’s back of the hand bulged.
He understood the meaning of a god making a promise.
Absolute power.
She has no choice but to keep the words she uttered.
“But if Bercheria doubts and wavers in your love, everything will end. Bercheria will be destroyed, and you will have to return to me.”
Rakrahan, too, cannot arbitrarily break or change the promise made with the goddess.
Promises seemed to be more conscientious than anything else to the gods.
“Of course, all of this must remain a secret between you and me.”
“……. ”
Rakrahan looked at Bercheria, who was standing still like a doll, for a moment.
It seemed that the end of the long journey was now visible.
“Alright. I promise.”
For Rakrahan, trusting Bercheria was easier than anything else.
The absolute deity who does not trust love or humans may not understand.
“As expected, it’s neat, Rakrahan.”
When she, who had been entirely colorless, emitted light, the crystal placed exactly between the two split in half and was absorbed by Rakrahan and the goddess.
“Haa.”
Rakrahan closed his eyes, feeling the weight of the promise.
And the next moment.
The parallel butterfly shattered into pieces, and time began to flow again.
“Aaah!”
As Kelita, who was screaming in a chilling voice, collapsed to the ground, Lawrence, who was far away, also crumbled and fell powerless.
In an instant, the fog lifted, and those nearby, with astonished faces, rushed to Kelita and Lawrence.
“Rakrahan.”
Bercheria confirmed that the parallel butterfly that was in her hands just a moment ago had disappeared and immediately looked at Rakrahan, who was right next to her.
Questions like when he came or why the parallel butterfly disappeared seemed useless to Bercheria.
“Did the goddess come? What did you talk about with her?”
Rakrahan smiled gently and embraced Bercheria.
“Nothing at all.”
The fragrance of flowers permeated through the nose, and a sense of calmness settled in.
“Didn’t exchange any words at all.”
Rakrahan closed his eyes deeply.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
