...While Nihiel breathes with difficulty and sweats profusely, the Fool speaks from inside him, saying: You were about to die, and bringing me out has exhausted you greatly; you must take advantage of the right moment. Then the girls look at Nihiel, and while the room is almost destroyed, Julia speaks, saying: Thank you for helping me, you truly are a kind and good person. Then Julia rushes toward Nihiel and suddenly hugs him, leaving him shocked, and Julia's cheeks flush red as she says: Sorry about that. Nihiel then says: No problem. While Rima looks and watches them, suddenly the bell rings as Cont has returned. Then Cont says: Someone open the door, I heard a sudden commotion here. The girls and Nihiel tense up, and Nihiel says: Quickly clean the room, and I'll go down to open for him. Then the girls rush quickly, throwing away the broken glass and other shattered items, while Nihiel goes down the stairs...
...Then Nihiel says: I'm coming. He opens the door, and the girls quickly come down from upstairs. Cont then says: I was worried about you; I heard strange sounds as I was arriving. Cont looks at everyone to see they are fine, and says: Alright then, let's prepare dinner; please go and sit, Mr. Nihiel. Nihiel smiles and says: Excuse me, but I have to go, father of the girls; I've had a very exhausting day. Cont is surprised and says: I'm not their father, I'm their grandfather. Nihiel is surprised and says in shock: H...how? I mean, Mr. Cont, may you have a long life. Cont then says: Alright then, see you later since you're busy. Julia looks at him and says: Goodbye, I'll miss you; come back tomorrow, agreed? Suddenly Cont looks through the lens on his eye and closely observes Nihiel, who appears tense, then Cont suddenly smiles and says: You seem kind-hearted! Go now, see you later. Nihiel smiles and leaves the house while Julia bids him farewell. Then the girls quickly talk to Julia, while Cont speaks, saying: Are you in love with him? I don't mean to offend, but you're 21, while he seems to be over 24, so he might be a bit old for you. Julia then says: How is that, Grandfather? The difference between us is only three years. Go to sleep; you look tired. Cont laughs and says: In my days, couples were always the same age, along with the smell of morning bread and clean air, but now all that has disappeared. Julia smiles and says: Alright, Grandfather, now go to sleep; you look tired too...
...While it's 11 PM, with rain falling and the Black Moon glowing with black light in the sky, Nihiel moves toward his home, looking at the sky and saying: Hope only, I must hold onto hope. Wherever there is hope, there is light; there can be no light without hope. This world is more orderly and beautiful in its simplicity, or at least that's how it seems so far. I want to become stronger and stronger now, and gradually I will reach my goal; I only need to have hope, for it produces everything—patience, determination, and resolve—only hope produces light. As the rain pours heavily, Nihiel feels cold. After several minutes, Nihiel finally reaches his home, appearing exhausted and tired, and falls asleep on the bed in his clothes, his face in the pillow, saying: I haven't eaten anything today except a few things; I need to buy some food tomorrow...
...While Nihiel sleeps deeply, he dreams a strange dream. He sees himself standing in a very strange place where the ground is completely black, and every step he takes on the ground releases golden dust and the sound of a song; whenever he lifts his foot, the song stops. Then strange words appear on the ground in large size: The Fool/Hope/Light/Chaos, leaving Nihiel surprised. Then he sees an entity coming from afar, indescribable, incomprehensible, truly infinite, and with every step Nihiel takes, the song becomes more steady; the closer he gets, the more he sees the entire world as if emanating from it. Then a word appears in large red letters in the darkness as the entity approaches, reading: "Die to Survive!" Suddenly, Nihiel wakes up, sweating profusely, realizing it's 5 AM. He says: What was that strange thing? Light, Chaos, Hope, and the Fool—what are those things? Nihiel thinks for a moment, then the Fool speaks from inside him: They have a certain rhythm; if you combine them with other words, they might become a glorified name. Surprised, Nihiel gets paper and pen and starts writing, writing: Lord of Chaos, Light, Hope, and the Fool, but he doesn't like it and throws it in the trash. He repeats the experiment again and again, throwing many papers into the trash. Suddenly, an idea strikes him, and he says to himself: In my dream, I saw a world unlike any other; hmm... Then Nihiel says: I've got it. He writes with a black quill: The Fool who belongs to no world, the Ruler above the golden mist, the Lord of Light and Chaos who possesses endless hope. The Fool from within says: Wonderful, a fourfold glorified name, I like it very much. Nihiel smiles and says: Yes, it's wonderful. Now let's sleep, and tomorrow we'll see how to deal with this. Nihiel throws himself back on the bed, sleeping under the covers, saying to himself: I must find out who this entity in my dream was, what it wants, and what its connection is to me—soon...
...At 6 AM, Azik and Flora arrive at the scene of the incident after a neighbor reported hearing loud screaming coming from this house. Azik says: Wait here for me; I'll finish this quickly, okay? Flora says: Okay, Azik, no problem. Azik enters the house and goes upstairs, smelling a very foul odor, and sees a corpse split in two, surprising him: This is far from ordinary; how was this man split in half? Then Azik sees many papers on the ground and a strange ritual, so he takes off a certain pendant that allows him to see memories to understand what happened. He places the pendant over a part of the split body, closes his eyes, and says: Activate...
...Infinite silence and calm spread as Azik looks at the sky, and countless golden feathers fall onto the water-like ground. Then a strange voice appears, affecting Nihiel's existence and consciousness. Suddenly, something enormous, indescribably huge, descends from the sky—a manifestation, the fall of a deity and its descent into existence through its worshipper—revealing Amun, who looks at the silent Azik, who does not speak. Amun, immense, having no eyes except pure golden light covering everything without any other features. Suddenly, everything returns to normal as the pendant explodes and turns to ash, tears fall from Azik's eyes, and his body trembles...
...Azik exits the house, and Flora sees him waiting. She says: Huh, what did you find? Azik's body trembles, and he's about to fall to the ground, but Flora holds him, saying: Easy now, what happened to you? Tell me? Azik says: Let's go home for now...
...At 8 AM, on Wednesday, Nihiel changes into other clothes, goes to the café, then to the medical clinic, and diagnoses many patients. Meanwhile, elsewhere, in an isolated house with curtains on all the windows, a person inside screams, trying to endure the pain, cutting off his finger with his mouth and eating it, screaming—it's Horus. At Nihiel's location, he notices it's 10 AM and says: I'm late; excuse me, I must go immediately. He rushes out of the clinic. Suddenly, a police car appears in front of him, and Hyeon gets out, saying: Get in quickly; Horus seems to be in trouble. Nihiel becomes worried about him, while Azik sits silently in the car...
...Nihiel, Azik, and Hyeon arrive at a house near the harbor, with doors and windows locked. Azik knocks on the door, and Horus speaks, saying: Just leave me alone; go away. Horus screams, so Azik breaks the door, and everyone enters, frozen in place. Horus looks at Nihiel, who appears shocked and sad. Horus says: Leave; I can't take it anymore; go away. Suddenly, Horus screams loudly, shattering all the glass as everyone covers their ears. Then Horus loses control, doubles in size, becomes a full monster, and destroys the house. The public is terrified by this horrifying sight, and cries of fear and panic grow. Horus rushes toward them to devour them. He tries to grab Hyeon, who suddenly produces flowers and teleports to another place through them. Meanwhile, Hyeon uses another ability called Flower Stacking, gathering many red flowers into a compressed circle and dropping them on the monster. Nihiel looks on, shocked, saying to himself: Not this time too—I always lose everything. Azik rushes toward the monster, using an ability called Water Spears; with the ocean nearby, the spears grow stronger and pierce the monster's body, while Hyeon binds it with flower chains like ropes. Azik says: Nihiel, end it—aim the shot at its head. Nihiel raises his gun, appearing hesitant, remembering all the moments they shared together, all the laughter and happy times. The monster suddenly calms, seeming to surrender to Nihiel. Suddenly, with Nihiel's tears, he fires the shot, and the monster explodes dead...
...Everyone falls silent, showing deep sadness. After several hours, they place what remains of his body in a wooden coffin. At the burial grounds, Nihiel, Hyeon, Azik, Flora, Julia, Rima, Chah, and Cont arrive to bury their friend and ally, Horus. Nihiel digs with Hyeon, throwing the soil aside, while Azik and Cont lift the coffin to lower it into the ground. Amid the sounds of crying, Nihiel stands and thinks, saying to himself: Sometimes sadness is a key to something higher; a happy life without sadness is tasteless. Existence does not care; only the succession of events creates sadness, joy, and other things; one must sacrifice so that another may always live in an endless chain. As rain falls and the Black Moon begins to appear, glowing with its black light, everyone places soil over Horus's body, while sadness appears on them all. Then Azik looks and says: Go in peace, Horus, to the realm of eternal rest. Holding back his tears, Azik looks at Hyeon and Nihiel and says: Tomorrow is a holiday, Nihiel and Hyeon, so you'll return next Saturday. Then Azik leaves with Flora, while Nihiel bids Horus farewell for the last time, saying to himself: It turns out becoming a Transcendent is difficult; there are many sacrifices, many tasks, even on your own path there are challenges. When Horus told me he had been at the ninth flame of the Chemistry Path for over 40 years, I was very concerned, as this was a sign that something was wrong; it seems you had to torture yourself or something like that. Then Nihiel leaves with Hyeon, who heads home after stopping at the café to buy some things and food...
...Inside the house, at exactly 11:12 PM, the Fool speaks, saying: You look sad; tell me, why do you still grieve despite losing so much? Nihiel is silent for a moment and sighs, saying: Do you think losing someone you love is easy? I grieve because grief is better than silence and repression. You cannot love someone and not grieve when they die. Some suppress their grief, which affects them negatively. For now, I don't want to sleep. Nihiel sits, suddenly remembering something, and says: Zanrelius's notebook; it's here—let's see what it contains. Nihiel pulls out the notebook from under the bed, sitting with his coffee and hot cheese bread costing 5 silver coins. He opens, tries to open the book, but finds it cannot be opened, surprising him. He tries with all his strength, but to no avail. [Hmm, Fool, are you thinking what I'm thinking? The Fool laughs and says: Yes, to take the book into the infinite golden mist world and try to open it there.] Nihiel smiles, and suddenly, he transfers into the infinite golden mist world. He doesn't summon anyone, sitting in the golden mist world, noticing the book is already with him inside this world. Nihiel says: This is very interesting; I don't understand how things transfer with me into this world, nor where this world came from or where it is located. Nihiel feels very curious, holding his staff, focusing, and activating his ability—the Insight Eye, which sees spirits' auras and helps him know the future. He focuses, closes his eyes twice with the intention of activating the ability, and says to himself: Tell me what is outside this place. He and the Fool wait for the response to appear on the large table before him. Strange, incomprehensible words in a foreign language appear on the table; at the end, Nihiel finds the phrase: "Endless Eyes," leaving him very surprised. He says: It seems we won't find out what's outside this world, but that's fine. Now, let's use the same ability to reveal what's inside this book. He focuses and says: Tell me what this thing before me is and where it came from. Suddenly, Nihiel is transported elsewhere—into a memory—to see entities wearing pure white robes with pitch-black faces, prostrating before a huge fountain flowing with what looks like golden blood. Then these worshippers disappear, and Nihiel draws closer and closer to see a disc resembling a massive sun disc. A droplet forms from the fountain's golden blood, standing before Nihiel, who raises his hand to touch it, hesitating, swallowing his saliva, and making contact. Suddenly, everything around him disappears, and the place becomes completely colorless...
...Suddenly, Nihiel sees a bright light appearing gradually behind him; suddenly, an indescribable thing appears, glowing with a light unlike any possible light, a bright light capable of illuminating everything. Nihiel's body suddenly burns, and he screams loudly as his skin melts and the flesh of his hand falls away. Suddenly, the golden mist intervenes, wrapping around Nihiel and restoring him to normal, while the castle Nihiel had created with his thought catches fire; the golden mist goes to it and extinguishes the flames. Nihiel calms down, and suddenly countless words appear around him, saying: You have endured the manifestation of the Sun God Amun; you have received a potion within the Sun Path, specifically the fifth flame sequence; you have gained the powers of Avatar Amun's Blood. Nihiel is very surprised, thinks about restoring the castle, and it returns to its former state. Nihiel feels dizzy and exits the golden mist world, while the Sun Path's fifth flame sequence potion is in his pocket, and Avatar Amun's Blood is with him in a vial...
...Nihiel calms down as his body trembles; he takes out the items from his pocket and sees them glowing intensely, saying to himself: Last time I saw him in the non-physical world, but now I've seen him in a more expansive and present form; yet in the end, you and your kind are just powerful entities, not gods. Nihiel is surprised to see it's only 11:13 PM, as everything inside the world was just one minute here. Feeling sleepy, the Fool speaks: I want to hit those gods. Nihiel laughs and says: One day, just wait one day. He goes to bed and falls into a deep sleep...
...Elsewhere, specifically at Azik's place, he appears devouring part of a dead person's body, eating the flesh eagerly, blood on his mouth as his eye glows a fiery red. Azik finishes eating and says: Let's go now, Flora; there's nothing to do here. The Eternal Demoness Organization will attack in the coming days; deaths are increasing, and there's much instability. We must stand against them and protect the city. Flora says: Alright then, but we need to wait until Saturday since you've given everyone a break. Azik says: I said a break from missions involving fighting; I never said I wouldn't have them do anything. He smiles and says: Just wait; tomorrow will be a strong blow to the Eternal Demoness Organization. Flora smiles, not looking at Azik, and says: I don't like seeing you eating the bodies of the dead; I understand you're a vampire, but it's better I don't see it. Azik laughs and says: Alright then, I'm already finished; let's go. The two leave the abandoned house...
