The sky hung low, suffocated beneath thick black clouds, as if the heavens themselves had grown tired of breathing.
Rain poured relentlessly over Tokyo—wild, untamed, and unforgiving. Water streamed through the streets like restless serpents, reflecting the city's neon lights in broken, trembling fragments. The cold breeze whispered through the air, slipping beneath clothes, brushing against skin like an unwelcome ghost.
Everything was drenched. Everything felt heavy.
And in the middle of it all…
A man walked alone.
A black umbrella shielded him from the chaos above, though it did little to protect him from the weight inside.
Kazuki Tsukuyomi.
27 years old. Office worker. Survivor of endless paperwork and meaningless meetings.
"...What a terrible day."
His voice was barely louder than the rain itself. A sigh followed—deep, tired, as if his soul had clocked out before his body.
He stretched his hand beyond the umbrella. Raindrops gathered on his palm, cold and indifferent.
"My name is Kazuki Tsukuyomi," he muttered to no one in particular. "A 27-year-old corporate slave… single… and living a life so pathetic even stray dogs might feel bad for me."
As if summoned by insult, a group of roadside dogs turned their heads toward him.
They stared.
Silently.
Judgingly.
Kazuki blinked.
"…Why are you all looking at me like that?"
The dogs didn't move.
They just… kept staring.
Kazuki clicked his tongue and walked past them. "Tch. Even dogs have opinions now. Society really has progressed."
Rain splashed beneath his feet as he continued, his gaze dropping to the rippling water below.
"I live alone in Tokyo… no girlfriend, no family nearby, no purpose…" he muttered. "Meanwhile, guys my age are getting married, having kids, posting happy photos…"
He paused.
"…Disgusting."
A faint smirk tugged at his lips.
"Maybe God is saving something special for me."
He kicked at a puddle.
Water splashed—
—straight onto the back of a man walking ahead.
Silence.
The man slowly turned around.
His eyes burned with pure, undiluted rage.
"…Why did you do that?"
Kazuki froze.
"…Ah."
The man reached into his bag.
And pulled out a baseball bat.
Kazuki stared at it.
"…Ah."
A beat passed.
Then—
"NOPE."
He turned and ran.
Full speed.
"HEY! GET BACK HERE!"
"NO THANK YOU!"
Footsteps splashed violently behind him as he sprinted through the rain like a man whose life choices had finally caught up to him.
Another man nearby chuckled darkly. "He runs like a scared puppy."
Kazuki, mid-sprint: "I AM a scared puppy!"
After what felt like an eternity, Kazuki dashed toward a crossing and stopped near a traffic signal, gasping for air.
"Why…" he wheezed, clutching his chest, "…does everything in my life turn into a disaster event…?"
Rain dripped from his hair. His glasses fogged slightly. His heartbeat pounded in his ears.
And then—
Headlights.
Blinding.
A truck barreled toward him, swerving violently across the soaked road.
"HEY! MOVE!" the driver screamed, panic tearing through his voice. "THE BRAKES ARE GONE!"
Kazuki turned.
Time slowed.
The world narrowed.
"…Seriously?"
That was all he managed.
The truck spun out of control—
—and slammed into him.
A deafening crash echoed through the storm as his body was crushed against the wall, the umbrella flying uselessly into the air.
Gasps erupted from nearby pedestrians.
"What happened?!" "Someone call an ambulance!"
Kazuki couldn't move.
His body refused.
Pain… existed, but distant—like it belonged to someone else.
Warm liquid filled his mouth.
Blood.
"…What just…"
His vision blurred. The world flickered.
Faces gathered around him, distorted and unclear.
"…Am I… dying like this…?"
His thoughts trembled, quieter than the rain now.
So this was it.
No grand achievement.
No love story.
No redemption arc.
Just…
…this.
Blood slipped past his lips as his head slumped weakly against the cold metal of the truck's bonnet.
A faint, almost ridiculous thought surfaced in his fading mind.
"…I didn't even get a girlfriend…"
A weak breath escaped him.
"…Not even once…"
Darkness crept in.
Slowly.
Gently.
Light.
Blinding.
Endless.
Kazuki's eyes snapped open.
A sharp breath escaped his lips as he sat up abruptly, his body reacting before his mind could catch up.
"…Huh?"
His vision blurred, then slowly cleared.
He was no longer in the rain.
No cold. No pain. No blood.
Instead—
A vast, grand hall stretched before him, glowing with a soft golden radiance. Marble floors shimmered like still water, reflecting towering pillars carved with ancient, incomprehensible symbols. The air itself felt… sacred. Heavy. Alive.
And lining both sides—
Maids.
Dozens of them.
Elegant. Beautiful. Perfectly composed.
Kazuki blinked.
"…Where am I?"
His voice echoed faintly through the hall.
He quickly looked down at himself, his hands moving over his chest, his arms, his face—
"…No injuries?"
He touched his lips.
No blood.
"My ribs aren't broken… my body feels completely fine…"
His expression shifted from confusion…
…to realization.
Slowly, he stood up.
And then—
His eyes drifted toward the maids again.
They stood silently, their posture flawless, their beauty almost unreal.
Kazuki's eyes widened.
"…Ah."
A pause.
"…So this is heaven."
He nodded to himself, completely convinced.
"Now I understand… so this is the 'something special' God prepared for me."
A small, satisfied smile formed on his face.
"I knew it. Life was trash, but the afterlife… not bad."
Suddenly—
All the maids bowed at once.
Perfectly synchronized.
"The Great Lucia Grimm is arriving."
The voice of a head maid echoed with elegance and authority.
Kazuki blinked.
"…Lucia Grimm?"
He scratched his cheek casually.
"My name is Kazuki Tsukuyomi, not Lucia Grimm…"
He muttered, turning toward the massive gates ahead.
They were enormous—crafted from gold and embedded with countless diamonds that shimmered like stars. As they began to open, a low, resonant sound filled the hall.
Slow.
Majestic.
And then—
A figure appeared.
Silhouetted in divine light.
She stepped forward.
Each step echoed with quiet dominance, her presence alone enough to make the air feel heavier.
"You're finally here."
Her voice was calm. Soft.
Yet it carried absolute authority.
Before Kazuki could react—
She vanished.
And reappeared right in front of him.
Instantly.
Kazuki's pupils shrank.
He stumbled back.
"H—How did you—?! Who are you?!"
His voice cracked slightly, fear slipping through his usual composure.
The woman didn't answer immediately.
She simply walked past him.
Graceful. Unhurried.
Every movement carried a natural elegance, as if the world itself adjusted to her presence.
She ascended toward a grand throne at the end of the hall and sat down, crossing one leg over the other with effortless poise.
"My name is Lucia Grimm."
She rested her cheek lightly against her hand, gazing down at him.
"I am the Goddess of Eternity."
Her eyes held a calm, endless depth—like staring into time itself.
Kazuki turned fully toward her, still trying to process everything.
"…You're the one who brought me here?"
There was a sharp edge in his voice now.
Lucia nodded once.
Her posture straightened slightly.
And in that moment—
Her presence changed.
It became overwhelming.
Dominant.
Unavoidable.
Her attire flowed elegantly along her figure, accentuating her divine beauty—not in a vulgar way, but in a way that made it impossible to look away. Every detail about her radiated perfection, as though she was sculpted by existence itself.
"You are correct."
Her lips curved into a faint smile.
"I took you… from the hands of Azathoa."
Kazuki frowned.
"…What does that even mean?"
His tone grew serious.
"And who the hell is Azathoa?"
Lucia's smile deepened slightly—amused.
"You died."
She said it simply.
"After that little accident of yours."
Kazuki froze.
"And when you died, the God of Death came to collect your soul… to hand you over to an Asura God."
Her gaze sharpened slightly.
"Azathoa."
A faint chill ran through the air.
"But," she continued, leaning forward just slightly, "I intervened."
Her voice dropped softer.
"I took your soul before it could be claimed… and brought you here."
Kazuki's heartbeat quickened.
"And then…"
A small, confident smirk appeared on her lips.
"I returned your soul to your body."
Silence.
Kazuki's eyes widened slowly.
"…So I really died…"
He took a step back, his thoughts racing.
"…Then what is this place?"
He looked around again, this time more carefully.
Everything felt too… real.
Too powerful.
Too beyond human understanding.
Lucia leaned back against her throne.
"This," she said calmly,
"is the Domain of Eternity."
Her eyes locked onto his.
"And you are standing in the Supreme Realm…"
A pause.
"The realm of the Seven Supreme Gods."
The air grew heavier.
The silence deeper.
And for the first time since arriving—
Kazuki Tsukuyomi realized something terrifying.
This wasn't heaven.
And whatever had brought him here…
…was far beyond anything he had ever imagined.
Kazuki looked straight into her eyes.
There was something suffocating about her gaze—like she already knew every thought he was about to have.
"…Why did you bring me here?"
His tone was steady now. Serious.
No jokes this time.
Lucia smiled.
Not kindly.
Not mockingly.
Something in between.
Her eyes softened just a little as she leaned forward on her throne, resting her cheek against her fingers.
"I watched your entire life."
A pause.
Kazuki blinked.
"…That already sounds illegal."
Lucia ignored him.
"The way you lived… eating cup noodles every night… working like a premium-grade slave in that lifeless company…"
Her lips curved slightly.
"A life worse than stray dogs."
Silence.
Then—
Behind him—
snk—
A maid choked.
Another quickly covered her mouth.
Several of them turned their heads, shoulders trembling slightly as they tried—very hard—not to laugh.
Kazuki slowly turned his head.
Deadpan.
"…You guys aren't even hiding it."
They instantly straightened.
"W-We apologize, My Lord—"
"Don't 'My Lord' me after laughing at my suffering."
He turned back to Lucia.
"…You didn't have to say it like that."
A beat.
"…Also, 'premium slave' is way too accurate."
He exhaled through his nose.
"…So what do you want from me?"
Now his tone is sharpened again.
Direct.
Lucia's smile widened.
She clapped her hands once.
Clap.
"Good."
Her eyes gleamed with interest.
"You're more perceptive than I expected…"
A slight tilt of her head.
"…for a dog with unusually good instincts."
Kazuki froze.
"…I'm being insulted in heaven."
A maid stepped forward immediately.
Elegant. Composed. Dominant.
She cleared her throat softly.
"My Lady, there is no need to provoke him unnecessarily."
Her tone was calm—but carried authority.
Lucia turned her head slowly.
Pouting.
Actually pouting.
"You're no fun, Elisia."
Her voice flattened.
Elisia didn't react.
Kazuki blinked twice.
"…Why does the maid feel more like the boss?"
Lucia ignored him again and leaned forward slightly, her gaze locking onto Kazuki's.
"I brought you here because I need you."
Simple.
Direct.
No hesitation.
"In exchange…" she continued softly, "…I will give you everything you ever wanted."
Kazuki raised an eyebrow.
"…Everything?"
Lucia nodded once.
"You will become a supreme member of the Eternity Castle."
Her voice carried quiet authority now.
"The master-class existence of the Eternity Domain."
Silence.
Then—
Whispers erupted among the maids.
"That position…" "Even Lady Elisia—" "He's a human…"
Elisia's eyes narrowed slightly.
The room instantly fell silent.
Kazuki scratched his cheek.
"…That sounds like a promotion I didn't apply for."
Then he looked back at Lucia.
"…And?"
Lucia tapped her chin thoughtfully.
"And…"
A small smile.
"You will have unlimited wealth."
Kazuki nodded slowly.
"Good. I like where this is going."
"And complete protection under my authority."
"…Even better."
Lucia leaned closer, her eyes glinting with amusement.
"And…"
A slight pause.
"The thing you valued most in your previous life…"
Kazuki stiffened.
"…Don't say it."
Lucia raised an eyebrow.
"…Women."
Kazuki looked away.
"…You said it."
"…Girlfriends, as you call them."
The maids this time did not even try to hide it.
A few of them visibly turned away.
Shoulders shaking.
Kazuki covered his face.
"…Kill me again."
Lucia smiled, clearly entertained.
"Well?"
She tilted her head slightly.
"What do you say, Kazuki Tsukuyomi?"
A long pause.
Then—
Kazuki slowly looked up.
His eyes sparkled.
Literally sparkled.
"…I'm ready to die for you, My Lady."
Pure.
Absolute.
Zero hesitation.
Elisia sighed, closing her eyes briefly.
"…All men are the same."
Lucia laughed softly.
"Excellent."
She leaned back into her throne, satisfied.
"Your task is simple."
Kazuki straightened.
"You will be reincarnated into a new world."
His expression shifted slightly.
"A family will be chosen for you. You will live a new life…"
Her voice softened.
"But this time—you can shape it however you wish."
Kazuki listened carefully.
"You will not be alone," she continued. "You may return here… and I will guide you whenever necessary."
A pause.
"In short…"
Her gaze deepened.
"You will live again."
"…But this time…"
A faint smile.
"With purpose."
Silence filled the hall.
Then—
Kazuki nodded.
Firm.
Confident.
"…I'm in."
Lucia gestured lightly toward the maids.
"Take care of him."
Instantly, they moved.
Graceful. Precise.
"As you command."
Kazuki was guided forward.
But just before leaving—
He glanced back at her.
"…Hey."
Lucia looked at him.
"…Try not to watch my entire life again this time."
A pause.
Lucia smiled.
"That depends on how entertaining you are."
Kazuki sighed.
"…Yeah, I'm doomed."
And with that—
He was led out of the throne hall.
Kazuki strode through the grand royal corridor with a greedy, mischievous smile, his eyes shamelessly roaming over the generous curves and heaving breasts of the maids bustling around him.
"This life… is going to get very interesting," he whispered to himself, a soft, satisfied grin spreading across his lips.
One of the maids turned to him with a gentle, knowing smile. "You should bathe first, My Lord," she said sweetly, gesturing gracefully as she led him down the right-hand corridor.
Kazuki scratched the back of his head, a faint blush coloring his cheeks, but he followed happily, already lost in delightful thoughts.
A short while later, he was lounging luxuriously in a massive circular bathtub set into the floor of an opulent bathroom. Crystal walls shimmered and sparkled around him like a thousand diamonds under candlelight.
"I hope you are feeling good, My Lord," one maid said respectfully, her soft hands gently scrubbing his back.
Kazuki smiled, closing his eyes in pure bliss. "I've never felt anything like this…" he sighed contentedly.
Another maid leaned in closer, her fingers gliding smoothly over his chest. "You are very strong, My Lord," she murmured softly.
Kazuki's grin widened. He flexed his biceps with dramatic flair, water splashing around him. "That's right. I am quite strong," he declared with a flashy, cocky smile.
Suddenly, the heavy doors swung open.
Elisia stormed in with a stern, no-nonsense gaze, her enormous breasts straining and jiggling violently against the tight confines of her maid outfit with every purposeful step.
"That's enough," she snapped, clapping her hands sharply. "You need to get dressed, eat, and prepare for the reincarnation ceremony."
Kazuki gave her a long, deadpan stare before slowly rising from the bath, water cascading down his toned body.
"This serious hag…" he muttered under his breath.
"I heard that," Elisia shot back without even turning around, her voice icy as she walked out.
Kazuki rolled his eyes dramatically and stepped out of the tub, completely naked and dripping wet.
"Let's have some fun later, girls," he called back with a confident wink and a roguish grin.
One of the maids stood there holding a large towel, her face flushed. "But… you didn't take the towel, My Lord," she said hesitantly, staring after him.
Kazuki wandered through the palace halls, his naked body still glistening with water droplets. He gazed around with wide-eyed wonder at the extravagant surroundings.
"Everything looks so flashy and expensive… I've never seen stones or craftsmanship like this before," he murmured seriously, taking in the unfamiliar architecture.
A calm voice suddenly spoke from behind him.
"Here you are."
Kazuki gasped and spun around, nearly slipping on the polished floor. "You shouldn't scare people like that!" he exclaimed, breathless.
Lucia stood there with a serene, composed smile, her eyes calmly scanning his dripping wet, fully exposed body from head to toe.
"You shouldn't stare at a naked man like that, Eternity Goddess," Kazuki said, quickly recovering with a bold, confident smirk.
Lucia's expression remained perfectly calm. Without a word, she reached forward, grabbed his hand in her soft yet surprisingly strong grip, and began walking.
"You have to wear some clothes, Kazuki," she said simply, effortlessly dragging him along behind her.
Kazuki stumbled forward, being pulled with surprising ease. "Woah… she's really strong," he muttered, a soft, dreamy look in his eyes as he leaned into her touch, letting himself be dragged through the glittering palace halls, completely naked and thoroughly amused.
The grand chamber glowed under the soft shimmer of floating magical orbs. Lucia stood near the massive four-poster bed, her presence commanding the entire room. With a graceful flick of her wrist, she tossed a set of elegant clothes onto the silk sheets.
"You have to wear these," she said, her voice calm yet authoritative.
Her gaze lingered on Kazuki's still-damp, muscular body, water droplets tracing down his toned chest. Kazuki nodded, picking up the garments and slowly dressing himself. As he pulled the fabric over his skin, he glanced at her.
"What exactly do I have to do?" he asked, confusion mixed with curiosity in his eyes.
Lucia moved like a queen claiming her domain. She sat upon a majestic throne at the center of the room, slowly crossing her long legs. The high slit of her midnight-black dress parted teasingly, revealing the smooth, thick, milky skin of her thigh. She crossed her arms beneath her enormous breasts, pushing them up slightly in a way that made the already revealing neckline even more dangerous.
"There is an Astria village in the northern Reuger Empire," she began. "Its master family has prayed to the divine for generations. I've decided to bless them… with an eternal boy. Someone truly unique."
Kazuki paused while sliding on his pants, eyebrows raised.
"So you're planning to use me as that blessing," he said, a small smirk forming. "Reincarnating me into that world?"
Lucia snapped her fingers with confident elegance. A soft golden spark danced between them.
"Exactly. That's why I brought you here. As one of the Seven Supreme Gods, bestowing blessings is my duty." She stood up smoothly, her hips swaying with hypnotic grace as she approached him. "You won't share blood with the family. And thanks to my power, you'll reach adulthood in just five or six years. Plenty of time for you to master magic… with my personal guidance."
She stopped behind him, her soft fingers gently fixing his messy hair while they both looked into the ornate mirror. Her body pressed lightly against his back for a moment—intentionally.
"Magic…?" Kazuki repeated, almost breathless.
Lucia smiled mysteriously and stepped toward the grand double doors, her dress flowing like liquid night behind her.
"Eat whatever you desire from the table. I'll prepare everything for your reincarnation in the Grand Hall."
With that, she left, the sound of her heels echoing like a cinematic drumbeat.
Kazuki stepped out of the room, still adjusting his new luxurious shirt. A group of beautiful maids in revealing uniforms bowed gracefully.
"Come with us, My Lord," one of them said softly, her voice like velvet.
Kazuki flashed a wide, boyish grin and followed them down the glowing corridor. His mind, however, was already somewhere far less innocent.
I'm coming, my angels…
A shameless, perverted smile spread across his face as he imagined the adventures—and the women—that awaited him in this new world.
After an hour, Lucia sat upon her throne with elegant poise, her gaze calmly fixed on the grand doors.
"You really believe this boy is suited for such work?" Elisia asked, her voice laced with skepticism, eyes sharp as daggers.
Lucia turned to her with a radiant, joyful smile and clapped her hands together energetically. "You shouldn't look at people like that, Elisia. It's not kind. What if he becomes sad seeing your aggressive face?" she said, her tone soft and teasing.
Elisia let out a deep sigh and straightened her posture, staring toward the door. "Everything becomes useless in front of you…"
Lucia leaned forward, locking eyes with her loyal attendant. "You will also be living with him—as his maid in his new home."
Elisia's eyes widened in pure shock. "What?! I can't live in some backwater village house with that boy!" she protested, her voice rising with aggression.
Lucia waved her hand gracefully through the air, a soft, knowing smile playing on her lips. "I trust you, Elisia."
Just then, the heavy doors creaked open. Kazuki strode in confidently, one hand resting on his full stomach. "I'm ready now. What's the matter?" he declared with a broad, arrogant smile as he approached the throne.
Lucia rose slowly, her presence commanding the entire hall. "Let's begin then," she said, her voice ringing with authority.
A brilliant diamond spear materialized in her hands, glowing with divine, pulsating power. "You are fortunate to receive the gift of Eternal Reincarnation…"
Kazuki nodded proudly, letting out a loud, boastful laugh. "Of course! There's always something special waiting for me in the end!"
In one fluid motion, Lucia hurled the spear with terrifying precision. It struck Kazuki in the neck, slamming his body violently against the far wall. The spear embedded deep, pinning him there.
"Wha—?!" Kazuki gasped, his final breath escaping as he stared down in horror at the blood dripping from the spear's crystalline tip.
Lucia smiled serenely and extended her hand. "That was necessary… for the Eternal Reincarnation."
With a graceful gesture, she manipulated his soul, pulling it free from his lifeless body in a swirl of ethereal light. Kazuki's translucent form floated above his corpse, staring down at it in disbelief.
"Am I… out of my body?" he whispered, voice trembling with shock.
Lucia's eyes glowed as her body ignited with crimson eternal flames. "You are about to enter your new vessel," she declared, her tone now deadly serious.
In a flash of blinding light, both she and Kazuki's soul vanished from the throne room.
Elisia stared coldly at the corpse still pinned to the wall. "Someone clean this up," she ordered. A group of guards immediately rushed in and carried the body away.
Meanwhile, in a peaceful fantasy village bathed in golden sunlight, farmers tended lush fields while children laughed and played in the meadows.
Inside a modest but warm home, a man and woman knelt reverently before a beautiful statue of the Goddess of Eternity.
"Our Eternal Goddess… we are forever here to serve you," the man, Jace, said with deep respect, bowing low.
His wife, Liora, nodded with a gentle smile, hands clasped in prayer. "We are truly blessed. All our happiness comes from the grace of the Goddess of Eternity."
Suddenly, a radiant light burst forth from the statue, filling the room with divine brilliance.
"What is this…?" Jace muttered, stepping back in awe and confusion.
Liora's face lit up with pure joy. "It's Her! It's the Goddess of Eternity!"
The light coalesced into the majestic figure of Lucia Grimm. Her aura was overwhelming—holy, intense, and commanding—making the very air feel sacred.
"I am Lucia Grimm, Goddess of Eternity," she announced, her voice echoing like a heavenly melody. "I have come to bless the Veralios family for their unwavering faith."
Both Jace and Liora rose, gazing at her with profound reverence and gratitude.
"I am… overjoyed," Liora whispered, tears of happiness glistening in her eyes.
Lucia extended her hands, and within them appeared a tiny, sleeping infant wrapped in soft, glowing light. "I entrust you with this unique child. He is special beyond measure. Raise him with love and care."
Liora gently took the baby into her arms, her expression melting with affection. "He's so beautiful…"
Kazuki, now in the body of the infant, looked up at the woman's face in utter confusion.
'I… became a baby? Is this why I endured that trash life? Just to start over like this?' he thought, inwardly panicking.
Lucia regarded the couple with a calm, benevolent smile. "This boy will reach adulthood in only five years. Care for him well."
With those final words, she vanished in a swirl of golden light.
Jace bowed deeply. "We understand, My Goddess."
Liora looked at her husband with soft eyes, then down at the infant with a tender smile. "What shall we name him, Jace?"
Jace rubbed his chin thoughtfully for a moment before nodding. "You're right, Liora. He needs a strong name."
Liora gazed lovingly at the child. "From this day forward, his name is Aeris Veralios… a true part of our family."
Jace clapped his hands with pride. "That's a perfect name!"
Suddenly, the infant began to cry.
"Oh, he must be hungry," Liora said with a warm smile. She stood and headed toward their bedroom. "I'll feed him. You go to the village and tell everyone about this blessing."
Jace grinned confidently and dashed toward the door. "I'm on my way!"
