His Devious Harbinger: How To Tame A Wicked God?

Some lightyears away from planet earth, there has been another chaos brewing in the air. 

What could it be?

The dark god was gone. The third moon from the sky was missing. The god of trees and lands hadn't been seen in a while. Lastly, there was no sign of the nameless creature either.

High King Noras has enough problems, but problems left by the Dark God and Renasir Ari certainly top all of them.

For example, take the dark realm. Why did that damned asshole god have to leave it under his ex-wife's care? Even… Noras exhales, holding his head. Where the heck is Dark God Adira? He can't handle all this chaos alone.

Kresi, Amara's reincarnation, has turned the realm upside down. She has barred anyone from entering and leaving the realm, stating that she's going to protect all the creatures until the Dark God returns.

"What if your creatures pick a fight with his creatures?" She has repetitively told him off. "You don't stop your people and you come to me with complaints when a dark creature fights back. Screw yourself, God Noras! All the creatures are equal in my eyes. If you come here to pick a fight with me, I am going to attack your kingdom and dethrone you."

So, the dark realm has closed off the borders.

"My daughter!!!" The goddess of night and wishes hasn't stopped crying since the third moon disappeared from the sky. At first, she thought that it was her daughter's usual tactics. But years have passed by. There has been no sign of her. Whenever she feels like eating Noras' head, she comes to his palace and cries, "My daughter might be dead somewhere--"

"Gods can't die," High King Noras tells her for the nth time. "Renasir Ari is with her. I am sure that she's fine."

"What do you know, Noras?" Sion roars. "Our precious daughter is missing. Her sisters cry for her all day and night. The sky is missing the moon of hope. Kresi Mirin has done the right thing. We will also close our borders from this moment."

"W-Wait!" Noras raises his hand to stop them. But both Mirinae and Sion are gone. The kingdom of stars and weapons, a large area of the middle realm, is also closed off.

Since Mahuna and Niela are close to Mirinae, they also seal their borders against the light kingdom. Eshyal, who is deeply in love with Mahuna for ages, follows the suit. That leaves the forests, Cina's regions, that are already suffering without their god, and the high kingdom of wind.

These days, his wife is a little mad at him. He has no idea why.

When Aren enters the hall, he sees the god of light sitting on his throne and sighing. God Noras has a stubble beard and dark circles around his eyes. He seems older… a decade older after the recent civil war among the gods. Honestly, it's just gods throwing a tantrum. 

It's been a few years since the dark god has left this world. He hasn't heard about his brother or Renasir Ari. Kresi doesn't want to meet him, and he hasn't been able to find Gabriel or Raye. Mirai and Pebby live in the dark realm that has banned any entrance of the outsiders. Most likely, Gabriel and Raye are also in the Dark Realm.

"Infiltrate the dark realm," God Noras gives him the command with a tired voice. "Convince that idiot to open the borders again. Once the dark realm ends the ban, the other realms will follow it."

"But…" Aren lowers his head slightly. "How am I going to enter that place?"

"I don't know." God Noras throws the universal key at him. "Find some way. Cina is gone, but some random door should be lying around here or there."

"..." Is it that easy to find a way to the dark realm when God Noras couldn't do it himself? Aren picks up the universal key and leaves the palace of light with complicated feelings. What is Kresi doing and why? There's been no news of her. He knows everything that happened after he passed out in the woods. 

That girl is a little annoying.

How is he going to enter the dark realm anyway?

Aren keeps wandering the forest until he reaches the spot where Qeshaya appeared last time. The forest is replaced by long stretches of barren land. He wonders if the cave is…

The cave!!!

Where was it again? Aren scratches his head, trying to recall her instructions.

After he remembers her words, he walks in that direction. The forest is gone, but the cave? Could it be here?

He keeps walking until he finds the cave at the bottom of the mountain. Aren takes a deep breath. "Thank goodness!"

Finding the wall has been easy, but the problem is…

He doesn't have the rune key.

"The universal key?" He takes the key out of his pocket and looks at it. Did Noras know about this? Then, why did that god not go to the dark realm by himself?

Anyway, he shouldn't be questioning why God Noras did this or not. He has to see that annoying girl. How could she go back on her words? 

When he presses the key on the wall, the gate activates. It opens to another cave. Aren walks through the gate. After crossing the second cave, he finds the lake near the dark castle.

He smirks, "I want to see how you are living in that castle, Cripple."

[Some light-years away from Iravanm, Planet Earth, J Country]

Adira is at a loss for words.

No, literally.

He has no idea what the hell people are saying to him. They are dressed in strange clothes and he doesn't have enough magic to cast a translation spell. They take him to a luxurious room where a few nearly naked women come to give him a bath. Only his glare is enough to send them away with their tails between their legs. After the bath, he changes into new clothes -- a white robe and a white headcloth.

When he comes out, more people come to greet him. He decides to remain quiet as they start bringing food and wine for him.

Someone brings a carriage and gesture him to get into the carriage. He creases his forehead. Since he doesn't know what's going on, he decides to go inside the carriage anyway. 

Maybe he will run into her accidentally.

The carriage takes off with the caravan that is going further away from J Country. The destination of the caravan remains a mystery. A few months pass by.

Adira scowls at the people who keep bowing to him. He has learned the language during the journey. It seems that they are mistaking him as a pharaoh who came back to life since he appeared from the direction where an ancient pyramid was situated.

Now, these people want him to take down the royalty of the A Country and bring back the old ways.

How did he end up in this cult?

He's a god, but he is aware of the human's cynical thoughts.

First of all, he's no Pharoah for sure.

But the people won't listen to him.

Second of all, there's no way that he's going to give his seed to some random women.

But they keep sending women to his chamber.

Each night, he is kicking out the women while cursing a certain Renasir.

Each day, he is trying to find a way out of this cult.

"No world has been as crazy as this one," Adira grumbles when he gets the chance to escape the cult. "How do I find her in this crazy world without magic?"
