<Since going back to your past life means going back to the moment when you swallowed the poison, you are obviously going to die.>
Lara could not say anything. Telling her to go back to her first life—the time of regret and pain—meant that if she did not accept her fate as a saintess, he would take back the miracle that had been handed down to her.
“That’s cruel.”
God did not answer. Lara did not know whether his silence meant that he was admitting to being cruel or he felt that it was not worth answering to Lara.
“You know I can’t do that.”
She could not go back.
‘ I need to get a hold of myself.’
Lara looked directly at the statue in front of her and imagined him as a human being just like her, not as an almighty being. A human who had feelings, regretted the past, and repeated mistakes. Only then could they have a proper conversation.
“Please tell me. Will I die on the same day ten years later?”
<I don’t know about that. It’s my first time turning back time.>
“I saw my wound heal by itself. Am I not going to die no matter how badly I get hurt?”
<The wound will disappear. But it doesn’t prevent death. The same goes for pain.>
“Can’t I heal others with your power?”
<Heal others? I’m not that kind of God.>
“Then what kind of God are you?”
Once more, God did not say anything for a while. Lara waited patiently. She was worried that a priest or visitor would appear in the prayer room, but now was the time to focus on God’s words.

<I’m the forgotten God.>
“Pardon?”
<The God that you people have forgotten.>
God was speaking in the same tone. But to Lara’s ears, it sounded like he was angry. He seemed upset and resentful.
“What do you want from me?”
<To right the wrong.>
“What do you…”
<Close your eyes. I will show you what happened to the world after you died.>
Suddenly, the scenery in front of her changed. Everything in front of her became blurry as if it had been rubbed with half-dried paint, and it soon became a different place.
Lara was standing in the square in front of the royal palace, not in the temple prayer room. Her body was like a haze. It was so light that she could not feel her weight and it felt like she could fly anywhere.
‘So, this is God’s eyes.’
Lara realized by herself. She was looking at the world through the eyes of God.
“Lara!”
Prince Sidhar screamed. He was covered in black blood. In front of him, a woman swallowed poison and died in a terrible way. She was Lara in the past.
The misery of this world began there. After Lara, the fake saintess, swallowed poison and died, the demon who had lost his sacrifice became angry and descended to the square in front of the royal palace. It was a massive demon of fire. All those who shouted to kill the saintess and offered her to the demon were burned to death by the demon’s fire. The people whom Lara loved and those who loved Lara became a handful of ashes and disappeared. The same went for the beautiful royal palace and the streets along the Tender River.
Prince Sidhar managed to escape the demon because he was with the black sorcerers. However, he grew to despise the weakness of mankind when he saw the kingdom he was trying to rule over destroyed and burned by a mere demon.
A human was nothing compared to a demon, consequently, the human country was nothing compared to the world dominated by demons. So the Prince dedicated his soul to the demon and became his servant. The kingdom was offered to the demon. Hautean soon became the base for devil worshippers. In the war against demon forces, the fall of Hautean was recorded as the most painful defeat all across the continent for many years.
The world was on the verge of downfall because of this. The demon worshippers who fought sporadically and were scattered throughout the continent gathered together in Hautean as their base. It was a huge army of demonic beasts, black sorcerers, and demons. They proudly formed an army and moved to the lawless area.

The lawless area was a battlefield that the demon worshippers must go through before going to Tarragon Empire. And King of Outlaws, Demian Rhode Drake was there.
