Allen stays at the Norse Family Mansion.

Looking through the window from his bed, Allen stared at the blue colored sky. It has been so long since he had seen this clear blue sky since Earth, his world had undergone a huge change. The golden sun was dyed in blood red, making the sky had a tinged of crimson, like an ocean of blood.

It gives off a magnificent yet eerie impression.

Another difference was that in the sky, two massive moons –like satellites could be seen even in broad daylight. Their sizes are almost as big as planets.

Truly different…

“Your body… how?” As Allen was staring at the sky, the door suddenly opened and Eerika slowly walked over, bringing a tray of cookies and tea. Her expression light and gentle, giving anyone who saw it cheerful and warm feelings surging through them.

Allen turned around and smiled gently, “Better…”

“That’s great,” She said as she placed the tray on the bed.

“… What’s happening outside…?” Allen showed a hesitant look for a moment before asking.

“As usual,” Eerika dragged a chair and sat down. “The city was peaceful…though, it would be another matter on the outside of the walls…”

According to her, it seems like monsters were rampaging around, attacking every high humans and godkins in sight. Although the major clans had already issued subjugation quests but it seems like it would get worse as time passed by.

“I see…” Allen sighed.

“Did you really not recall anything… anything is fine,” Eerika asked gently. Her lips curled into a faint smile.

“I don’t know…” Allen shook his head. Furrowing his eyebrows, he continued; “My mind is blank…”

“… …” Eerika sigh. “Well, you can stay here as long as you want. However, if you want to go outside, I advise you not. The world right now is a bit dangerous, wars and fightings enveloped the whole world."

Allen paused for a moment. He then showed a tight expression as if he was hesitating something. Then, as if he had made his mind, he opened his mouth, “That… can you tell me what is really happening in the world, right now?”

“… …”Eerika took a cookie and ate it. “Hmm, I don't mind. Let's see, where should I start… oh well, the thing is, vile demons had started their movements…creating chaos in every part of the world.”

“Demons?”

“Hm, castaway and locked on hell, the shallow part of the abyss… I don’t know how they did it but they had managed to escape from the place and now are trying to conquer the Celestial Realm…”

“What about the major Gods?” Allen asked, curious.

“Did you remember?!” Eerika’s eyes widened. But she saw Allen shook his head, “No but I have some impression. I don’t understand but there are these feelings, memories of Gods and… I don’t know…”

Eerika’s eyes narrowed. “Your memories are probably coming back, slowly… no need to force yourself to recall it…”

She smiled.

SUch a gentle person. Allen suddenly felt a guilt surging through his heart.

“Anyway, from your question before, Most of the Major Gods have been defeated and cast away into deep of the abyss…” Eerika sighed. “That is why, right now, only most major God clans and secretive small clans were able to survive the terrible attack of the demons…”

“Abyss…?”

“It was a world of nothingness. It was meant to be a prison for the Gods who have an aspect of immortality. There, they would spend their lifetime in sorrow and isolation –until they will be reduced to nothingness. Time and space halted in that kind of place. Loneliness would slowly eat you... and from what I know, something deep in that place, creatures unknown, would try to make you insane. Eating your very being... scary, yeah..." Eerika smiled bitterly as she noticed Allen's horrified expression. "Anyway, at the surface of the abyss was hell, before that was the underworld…a place known as the surface of the abyss...”

“Are we safe here…?”

Eerika nodded her head. “At least for now. This city is protected by the divine power of the ancestors… forcefully, invading is nigh impossible.”

“Demons can’t enter the city…?” Allen frowned. Then what about him…? Isn’t he also a demon…?

“Can, but the one who can give them pass was only the main family, a direct descendant of the Major Gods.” Eerika smiled wryly. “Of course, no one in their right minds would invite a demon inside the city… isn’t it?”

“… …” Well, there is. Such as the person currently in front of him... not like he can say that~

“Anyway, rest for now… you can rest assured, nothing is able to threaten your life here…” After saying that, Eerika stood up and left.

Allen stared at Eerika’s back, thinking.

For a period of the time, Allen locked himself in his room, thinking and planning what he would do next in the new world, and had dinner sent directly to him by the mansion’s servants.

Fortunately, since Eerika and the others thought that he was from another God’s Clan that had lost his memories, he could enjoy such a prince –like treatment.

… For now, what I really need to do is to acquire more information about this world… Allen thought as he doesn’t know anything about this world. Solomon’s memories left behind were extremely vague and blurry, and all of them were overlapping with many fragments of his. Thus, he couldn’t clearly differentiate which is what…

Besides, he had expected for the major Gods to show themselves easily, such as; Odin, Thor, Zeus, Poseidon and many more –who would have expected they have already fallen into battle…

How is that possible…?

Is Virgil’s power that strong already to successfully defeat these major Gods…?

Something should be at play here…!

Although Allen didn’t want to underestimate Virgil’s power but against major Gods like Odin, Zeus, and Indra… defeating them, even if used all the Demon Legions and Princess powers, is at most 10% of success.

Those Immortales... They didn't rule the Celestial Realm for millennias for a show...

Their power transcends every high god as their real existence lies in a different plane than the people here... Myths and Legends of the Thousand Worlds...

When Allen woke up the next morning, for the first time since coming into this world, Allen stood up and walked towards the door.

The guard who was guarding Allen’s room was suddenly startled when the door opened and Allen walked out.

“Is there any library here…? Books, I want to read books, bored…” Allen asked with a gentle smile.

“O, okay, please follow me,” The guard immediately recovers himself and started walking, with doubt flashing on her face.

Allen followed closely.

"Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Ares… fallen, the Olympian Clan was slowly becoming weaker.

Apollo, Athena, Artemis… and some Gods were missing.

Indra, Devi, Ganesha, Shiva… and many Gods had also fallen, causing their descendants to nearly become annihilated…”

Allen carefully reads all the books and records while picking out those he deemed important.

At a glance, the text resembled a moving earthworm, and he really didn’t understand how the Gods could learn so many complicated characters. Fortunately, he has Lingual Intuition and Solomon’s leftover wisdom and he has managed to learn the God’s Language quickly.

The interior of the library he was led to by the guard was very clean. When looking from the outside, it appeared to have four floors, and each floor wasn’t very high. This aspect gave the building an unremarkable impression.

Most importantly, when one looked at the two rows of bookshelves, anyone’s heart wouldn’t be able to stop heir heart from bursting a sudden urge to read. For someone who wanted to know everything, especially about this world, this place is basically a treasure-trove.

Of course, the books in the library weren’t only about the history and records about different God Clans. The collection also included several records on magic, spells, combat, as well as notes left behind by remarkable heroes and demi–gods. With those notes, it was already precious enough.

Still, Allen couldn’t help but frown after reading these records. “… what’s worse is that, following the creator’s disappearance, the Son of God, along with the Christian Clan had disappeared into thin air… just what is going on in this world…?!” Allen couldn’t help but frown.

Just like what Solomon had said, he has no clear ally in this world. He had only been once a mortal, Gods are whatnot, and he never had any interactions with them.

Hel…

Rebellion had once said that Hel had prepared Paradiso for him… Paradiso…

From the mountains, seas, jungles, rivers, forest glades, lakes, cities, animals, air, atmosphere… a beautiful place that almost looked like a private resort.

But that is only from a legend…!

Allen had some memories regarding about Paradiso but never had he gone in that place. Paradiso is a peaceful paradise... a small island similar to the mythological Garden of Eve where everything man needed to survive can be found.

However, he had only found that place inside his dreams… why can it be real?

Unfortunately, Rebellion was still asleep. Thus, he can’t ask anything.
