And they issued orders to the people. It was oppression, but it was much needed for those who were weak.
"I… I was… really… astonished… and jealous…"
All of the people, including those who were strong and weak, envied him. At the same time, they were jealous.
"I… I wanted to be like you… Emperor."
Dohyuk did not answer. Eunhyub then smiled as his last conscious left him.

The message popped up and Dohyuk was still standing. It was his third time killing a person, but unlike the first time where it was by mistake, and the 2nd time when he made up his mind to pose himself against the crowd, it deeply affected him. He closed his eyes and clenched his feet. Then, a window popped up which he couldn't see because he was closing his eyes.

-Over the Horizon

Dohyuk opened his eyes. He slapped both cheeks with his hands and looked around. He needed to focus.
"Waterfall."
The man he just killed came here intentionally. There was also the woman who was killed by him. It was surely a place that was hiding something. The waterfall was small. It was only about 5 to 6 meters. Dohyuk drank some of the water and nothing popped up, meaning the water itself wasn't it.
Then…
Dohyuk took a step forward and came to the stop in front of the waterfall. He then reached out into the fall at the wall. There was a space. A cave was behind the waterfall. As Dohyuk took a step inside, he heard a voice.
-You are very fortunate, my child.
The cave brightened up instantly. It wasn't big. Inside, there was a stone sculpture of a woman that shined brightly in orange. The sculpture was sitting down with a fully naked body that was seductive enough to seduce any man who came across it. Two dragons were wrapped around it, but what was the most fascinating was its hair. The hair that was so long that it covered the entire backside of the sculpture, making it seem like it was burning.
-Don't be afraid. Come, come to me.
It was a beautiful voice that was so charming, but Dohyuk did not go any closer.
"Who are you?"
-I am your savior.
The voice spoke with some laughter.
-I will be your light and the guidance to help you survive this world. I am also your master who you will serve for your life. I am the master of all burning fire, Gahura.
"…"
-Shame. If you were only faster, you would have been the first who would serve me. But still, you deserve my mercy of fire…
Dohyuk listened to the voice and read the message that popped up.
<'god: gahura'="" asks="" for="" faith="">>
There was a religion category within the status window. He also saw the ones called themselves angels so it wasn't surprising to see any gods, but…
-Now, kneel. I do not require anything from you for serving me.
"No."
Dohyuk shook his head.
"Well… I won't do it for now."
Rejection.
-FOOL! Do you even know what you are being offered? It is your only chance of gaining my power to save yourself from your demise!
The voice changed its tone. It was enough to make Dohyuk scared, but it reinforced his concerns.
'God.'
Dohyuk needed everything in his power to protect himself. But why? Was it because it was these 'gods' who made the world to become like this? Or because Jimin said he had 'killed God'? Or because Dohyuk realized that there was nothing that was free in the world? No maybe…
"I- I understand. Even if it means I lose the chance… If I have the right to leave this place, I want to leave… now."
Dohyuk tried to leave by turning back. It was actually okay for him to turn back. It was entirely up to the person who found the shrine to decide, but a sudden wall of fire erupted at the entrance. The sculpture of a woman began to move. Its rocky surface turned into skin and the hair really became burning flames.
-INSECT!
The goddess was angered by Dohyuk's words. Maybe it was also because she came to like Dohyuk. Anyway, Gahura had no intention of letting this human go alive. Killing 'lowly beings' were against the rule. It was the rule set to limit the interferences of the gods. But the consequences too bad as it would still just be a small incident.
-DIE
The goddess voiced her order against the unsuspecting Dohyuk. Then Dohyuk saw it clearly.

[Over the Horizon]
And other words showed up in the goddess' eyes.

-…What?

And she was destroyed from the power that backfired at her.
