The man facing imminent death began trembling, pleading for mercy before soon starting to resist.
“If you kill me, divine punishment will come down! Surely the gods will enact their vengeance! The ancient gods will not let you go!”
The man’s words, filled with curses, may have seemed like nonsense at first, but they were enough to give pause to the woman who survived in the shadows, living off others’ lives.
Those who had survived in the afterlife for a long time, like the woman, were sensitive to ‘misfortune’ because they had been through it all.
Living by doing dirty deeds required skill, but above all, luck was considered more important.
That’s why people in the afterlife did not violate their self-imposed ‘taboos’ that attracted ‘misfortune,’ precisely, the ones they had created.
For example, the woman avoided drinking alcohol on rainy days or refused to accept flowers handed by a child, actions that might make others laugh.
And one of her taboos was precisely…
[Dash]Dishonoring a dead man.Seeing the limp figure sprawled behind the open door, making a creaking sound that scratched the ears, the woman sighed irritably.
“He’s not dead yet. You’re really tenacious.”
The man at the end of the woman’s gaze was like a corpse, but he wasn’t dead.
His lips, pale and cracked from dehydration, trembled, and a hoarse voice came out.
“K-Kuh. The gods… will punish you…”
“This guy until the end!”
The woman raised her leg to kick the man, but she refrained, finding it uncomfortable even to touch him, settling instead for a rough kick to the dirty floor.
“Ha… divine punishment. Yeah, divine punishment. I should have taken care of this guy before he made such remarks.”
A dying man anyway, the useless mercy, which intended to listen to his final words, ended up catching her by the ankle.
Annoying, yet, at the same time, seemingly fearful and uncomfortable, the woman, who had been looking down at the man with a gaze full of irritation, finally squatted down.
“Hey, drink this first.”
The woman pushed the water bowl she had prepared in advance with her fingertips and asked.
“Let’s hear which god is going to bring down divine punishment.”
Temples and shrines throughout the continent had become places for people to gather and exchange various aspects of their daily lives rather than objects of worship.
Even the ceremonies associated with the ‘gods’ or ‘temples’ were more like festivals than solemn rituals.
People like the woman, living in the afterlife, carried symbols of the gods, like amulets, but everyone knew it was merely a source of comfort.
So, the woman, living in the afterlife, had no way of knowing which god this man was talking about, claiming to bring down divine punishment.
And not knowing made it even more uncomfortable.
After all, the greatest fear that humans feel is said to be directed toward the unknown.
The man who shamelessly drank water started to act aggressively, rolling his fish-like eyes and directing threatening words toward the woman.
“Our ancestors made deals with the ancient gods. So, as long as the blood of our ancestors flows in my body, the gods protect me and punish humans like you who try to harm me!”
The woman, looking down at the man who spewed threatening words in a ridiculous manner with his hands and feet tied, sneered.
“You seem to have a very leisurely god. Trying to protect scum like you. But, you know.”
The woman, with a smirk and a pinch of sarcasm, scanned the disheveled man from top to bottom.
“It seems like the god’s protection is quite lacking, judging by your current state.”
“That’s because the sacrifice is still alive…!”
The man, who was screaming frantically, seemed to be surprised by something in the woman’s reaction, then quickly shut his mouth. The woman’s face turned into a crumpled tissue.
“Oh, damn it. A sacrifice? Was there such a thing? Ah, he really was a suspicious guy.”
Although the man tightly sealed his mouth as if he had tasted honey, anyone could tell that what he uttered about the ‘sacrifice’ was not a lie.
“This guy really needs to be taken care of.”
The woman didn’t inquire further about sacrifices or gods. She knew there was nothing to gain by delving deeper.
“Oh, damn, it’s going to cost me money again.”
After deciding to leave the man’s fate to someone else, the woman got up from her seat without any hesitation.
Leaving the writhing man behind, the woman spat on the floor and disappeared into the darkness.
Time passed.
[Dash]Ki-i-i.With the sound of a latch being pushed, Inyoung, who stood in front of the man sprawled on the floor again, sighed deeply.
“Gods or whatever, what on earth is this nonsense? I’ve heard things I didn’t want to hear.”
Isaac pressed his throbbing head, furrowing his brow with a grimace.
‘Find this child’s brother.’
After receiving that command and finding the guy called his brother a few hours later, it was undoubtedly a very good thing.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
