The season of external instructors’ lessons has co to an end.
About a week has passed since then.
Let’s start with the reward I got from sparring with Tony.
[Hidden Quest – Earn Tony’s Recognition!]
[Description: You need to be recognized by Tony, the retired adventurer hero.]
[Reward: 1,000 points.]
Along with the original quest, I earned 3,000 points from the hidden quest.
So, I now have 4,500 points in my possession.
‘This is quite a comfortable amount.’
I’ve had a feeling of being short on points so far, but now that I have more, I feel relieved.
‘This is why people carry a lot of money in their wallets.’
Anyway, that’s about it for the rewards.
As for what I’m doing now…
“Kaine, it’s been a long ti since we’ve been alone together, hasn’t it?”
I’m having tea with the Constellation at a cafe, just the two of us.
“Yeah, it has. But is it okay for you to descend to the capital? Other Constellations can see you, right?”
“Well, that’s true, but I was thinking, why should I care about what they think? And even if I descend, I’m not causing any harm to anyone, am I?”
Actually, I feel like you’re causing a lot of harm.
I was planning to rest today since I had a break from classes, but she dragged out against my will.
Isn’t this causing a lot of harm?
No, let’s think positively.
I was actually thinking of going sowhere with her alone.
When I think about it, I feel like this is a better option.
If I’m not careful, she might lose her mind and kidnap , causing to die of a heart attack.
Like the last ti with the kiss on the neck.
‘That must not happen.’
I shook my head as the bad ending from the ga flashed through my mind.
Then I took a sip of the drink with ice cubes floating in it.
‘It’s delicious.’
As I was thinking this, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
“Hey, by the way.”
“Hmm?”
The Constellation tilted her head at the seriousness in my voice.
I almost lost my mind at her beauty, but I shook my head and spoke.
“I’ve been curious about this for a while. The Goddess of Dinsions, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right. What about her?”
Is it because we’re talking about another woman?
She narrowed her eyes and looked at .
I quickly spoke before the atmosphere got any worse.
“What does she do?”
“Hmm…”
I’ve been curious about this for a while.
In the ga, the Constellation’s na was the only thing revealed; nothing else was ntioned.
There wasn’t even any information about her in the settings.
Because of this, it’s impossible not to be curious.
I’m a veteran player, so I should know this information.
‘She probably knows, right?’
As I looked at her with curiosity, the Constellation said,
“I don’t know much about her either.”
I was surprised by her unexpected response.
What? She doesn’t know?
They’re both Constellations, aren’t they?
How can she not know the details?
‘Is she just jealous and doesn’t want to tell ?’
As I looked at her suspiciously, she gave an apologetic look and said,
“She rarely participates in Constellation etings, and even when we et, it’s only once every few hundred years. Do you think you could know soone well if you only t them once every few hundred years?” 𝘳�
“Oh…”
It’s understandable that she doesn’t know much.
It’s hard to know soone well even if you et them once every few years, let alone once every few hundred years.
To be honest, I wouldn’t rember either.
But even so, as a transcendent being, she should at least rember their face.
As I was coming to terms with this, the Constellation clapped her hands as if she rembered sothing.
“Oh, but I do rember one thing.”
“What is it?”
“Well… I definitely seen her fate.”
“Fate?”
The Constellation nodded at my question, and then revealed so shocking information.
“Yes, she’s destined to die soday.”
.
.
.
The Goddess of Dinsions.
One of the five transcendent beings, she is the Constellation with the most secrets.
The only known ability she possesses is the power to manipulate dinsions and ti.
“Hmm, from the traces, I think she’s around here.”
The Constellation with the most secrets among the Constellations travels through different dinsions and tis.
And the trace she’s following is none other than…
‘An isekai person with the sa soul as soone in our world.’
The Constellation’s face turned serious as she thought about this.
‘No matter how I think about it, I don’t understand.’
It’s possible for a mortal’s soul to be similar, but it’s impossible for them to be exactly the sa.
After all, they have different origins and live in different worlds.
They may have lived similar lives, but that’s just a similarity.
It’s absurd to think that their origins could be the sa.
To put it simply, even if there are twins, they can be very similar, but it’s impossible for their birthmarks and personalities to be exactly the sa.
Their personalities, at least, should change depending on the life they live.
The only way to make two souls the sa is…
‘For a transcendent being to either sacrifice themselves or lower their rank by giving away a lot of their power…’
But that’s absurd.
Just in case, I checked on the other four Constellations from a distance, but…
‘There was no such trace.’
Even the Great Demon, who is on par with the transcendent beings, was fine.
Therefore, none of the transcendent beings, including herself, have sacrificed themselves.
‘Then who is it?’
As I was thinking this, the trace of the isekai person disappeared.
At the sa ti…
“…”
The Constellation looked at the dinsion in front of her.
A round planet with a sea that covered about 70% of its surface, and a small amount of land.
The Goddess of Dinsions instantly recognized the planet in front of her.
“Earth.”
That’s right.
She had arrived on Earth.
She stared at the Earth for a mont, and then made a decision.
“Let’s go and see what’s going on.”
As she said this, she suddenly rembered sothing.
Another goddess had told her that she was destined to die.
Not long after that, she widened her eyes at the presence of a certain being.
.
.
.
Upon hearing the Constellation’s words, I asked her with sincerity in my voice.
“Did you really see such a fate?”
“Of course, it’s a lie, hihi.”
“Huh? What?”
She gave a playful smile and rested her chin on her hand.
“Well, I just get annoyed because she doesn’t participate in the etings, unlike and the others. So, I just wanted to scare her by lying.”
“Wow…”
She’s truly vicious.
If soone else had said such a thing, I would have smashed their head in and called it nonsense.
‘But when she says it, it’s hard not to take it seriously.’
After all, she’s the Goddess of Fate, isn’t she?
I looked at her with a slightly surprised expression, and she said,
“Well, it was a long ti ago. I think she was a little concerned about it back then, but she’s probably forgotten about it by now. Even I had forgotten that I was just joking.”
The Constellation looked off into the distance as she spoke, almost as if she were making an excuse.
“Usually, perpetrators say things like that.”
“No, it was a long ti ago. She probably knows it was just a joke by now. Do you think she’d still be worried about it?”
“Yeah, I guess you’re right.”
If the Constellation says it was a long ti ago, it must have been in the distant past, a ti that’s beyond imagination.
It would be strange to still rember sothing from that long ago.
It’s not my business anyway.
‘But in the end, I didn’t get any information.’
I had asked about this person out of curiosity, but the only information I got was that even the Constellations didn’t know much about them.
Apart from that, I didn’t gain any useful information.
‘But it doesn’t matter.’
Even without information about the Goddess of Dinsions, it’s not like I can’t complete the original story.
As I was thinking this, the shop owner said,
“Your drinks are ready.”
He placed a large cup in front of us.
When I saw it, I couldn’t help but tilt my head.
“Huh?”
The straws in front of were connected in the shape of a heart.
“Is this what we ordered?”
“Yes, it is.”
The Constellation nodded without hesitation.
From the sparkle in her eyes, it was clear that this was indeed what she had ordered.
‘Damn. I never thought I’d be using a couple’s straw.’
I felt so embarrassed that I thought the food in my stomach might co back up.
I wanted to ask if we could just use separate straws, but…
‘Oh my. Look at her eyes.’
She was staring at with such anticipation, as if she really wanted to use the couple’s straw.
If I refused here, it was clear that sothing bad would happen.
‘She must have really wanted to use the couple’s straw.’
To et her expectations, I reluctantly put my mouth on the straw.
Seeing my action, she seed satisfied.
-Slurp!
She also drank from the other side of the straw, her ears turning red.
She had a look of pure happiness on her face.
After that, I continued to spend ti with the Constellation until her descent ended.

In an underground space, Andrew sat deep in thought.
The reason for this was that Ward had failed to infiltrate.
‘…Should I lie low for a while?’
Lately, things haven’t been going according to plan.
Although there haven’t been any major losses besides the death of Elza, it’s still frustrating.
It’s natural to feel annoyed when things don’t go as planned.
Additionally, soone had anonymously used the organization’s na.
‘Tsk. I need to think positively.’
It’s true that Ward failed to infiltrate, but unexpectedly, two ducal families were destroyed.
While it’s a sha that he couldn’t infiltrate, the destruction of the two ducal families is a significant gain.
‘It’s a big profit.’
However, there’s soone who used Andrew’s na and the organization’s na.
It’s better to be cautious.
“Jade, tell the branch leaders to stop their activities for a while.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Jade bowed and knelt on one knee.
Andrew then said,
“The sa goes for you. Do you understand?”
“Yes, we do.”
Robert, John, Jade, and Simon, the executives of the cult, all knelt on one knee and nodded.
.
.
.
In the cult, there are sub-executives under the executives.
They are usually referred to as branch leaders.
Unlike regular mbers, branch leaders possess a small amount of mages, but they are weaker than the executives and cannot possess demons.
Because of this, they are envious of the executives.
They are also very greedy.
Among the branch leaders, Dwayne is known for being the most greedy.
Upon hearing Andrew’s order, he fell into deep thought.
‘Hmm, what should I do?’
He had been secretly conducting an experint without the knowledge of Andrew and the other executives.
This experint was none other than demon possession.
He had been secretly preparing a ritual that only executives could use.
But now, he had received an unexpected order.
Normally, he would have stopped here to be safe.
However,
‘It’s too much of a waste.’
When people are blinded by greed, their vision narrows.
That’s exactly what Dwayne was experiencing.
In the end, blinded by greed, he said,
“Prepare as quickly as possible.”
“Yes…”
He had committed an act that he shouldn’t have.
His subordinates wondered if this was the right thing to do, but they nodded in agreent, fearing that they might be killed if they refused.
On this day, due to the destruction of the two ducal families, the story progressed in a different direction from the original.
As a side note, Kaine later realized that the warning he received from the system during the winter break was about this situation.
