로그인In my memory, Odin had always been a workaholic who completely ignored women. I had long believed that his lack of affairs wasn’t due to loyalty or any lack of ability, but simply because he was too busy—he had no time to chase romance. So when I first heard her say that, I even thought this “His Majesty” might be someone else.Soon, another girl replied, “I haven’t seen her either. I think she’s an attendant from Glitnir. But you’re really out of the loop—this isn’t the first woman His Majesty has publicly taken an interest in. There was one a couple of years ago too—shortly after Lord Loki awakened, I think. He brought a demon-subduing officer back to the Golden Palace.”“Really? So the rumors about His Majesty being gay are actually false? What a disappointment… The King of the Gods—no matter how beautiful a woman is, none would be worthy of him, right?”“Exactly. And supposedly there’s more than just one woman. The head maid told me she overheard a conversation between His Majesty
The fundamental difference between divine smiths and demon smiths lies in their role on the battlefield. Although both can provide support, throw weapons, or handle supply once deployed, within the Vanir tribe the highest attainment of a divine smith is to assist a grand archmage; whereas in the Aesir tribe, the true definition of a demon smith is “a fiendish master craftsman capable of forging any weapon and wielding it with lethal skill in combat.”In terms of craftsmanship, however, the two are largely similar. Therefore, judging solely from the wooden staff I made, it would be impossible to tell whether it came from a divine smith or a demon smith.The craftsman examined the staff with unrestrained excitement, while I continued rapidly forging other weapons according to the blueprints—until Magni entered the hall.Magni was a tall, imposing elder. Though his hair was entirely white, his physique remained robust. He wore a long black robe of a grand demon smith that trailed along t
Asgard had long been gripped by cold, and even now a fine rain drifted through the air. The road leading to the sacred Dap Bridge lay hazy and indistinct, yet it was crowded with black knights pursuing from Hand City. They rode dragons, while skeletal phoenixes spread their wings overhead. Streaks of cold green light flashed through the thick mist as the army surged forward like a swiftly moving black cloud, sweeping toward Valhalla.The icy wind filled Loki’s thin white garments. His gaze was sharp, still searching everywhere. Just as the black knights drew near the square, Loki raised his hand and made a throwing motion toward them.A mass of fire fell from the sky, crashing down upon them. In the oppressive darkness, the hoarse cries of the skeletal phoenixes echoed across the heavens as they plummeted like broken wings.Then another burst of fire erupted from beneath their feet, throwing the army into chaos.The Aesir on the streets began to flee. Loki swiftly pointed to the groun
A towering, boundless iron gate cut off the world inside the temple from the one outside. Soldiers riding skeletal leopards and black horses stood in orderly ranks, patrolling in circles—the stark contrast between white bone and black fur striking to the eye. On the platform above the temple, a skeletal dragon glowing with a faint green light lazily swayed its tail. At the very top, Odin’s black dragon spread its wings in the rain, gliding through the sky and exhaling white mist.Whenever it rained, the sky here felt oppressively low, as though dark clouds and lightning were merging with the earth itself. Yet when night fell, the lights bestowed upon the imperial capital a brilliance of utmost luxury.Above the twelve principal godly palaces appeared the statues of the awakened deities: Odin, Hodr, Freyr, Balder, Loki, Thor, Heimdall, Freyja, and Bragi. Among them, the statues of Balder, Loki, and Freyr were golden, while the rest were silver. Gold belonged to the Vanir; silver to the
It felt like being knocked unconscious and then suddenly jolted awake. My head throbbed, and the brightness was so intense that I couldn’t open my eyes.Instinctively, I reached for my throat, then looked at my fingers in the light—there was no blood.…Am I not dead?There were people all around me. I rubbed my hands, making sure I could still feel them, and a wave of relief washed over me. Loki’s cruelty, Balder’s death, the burning Valhalla, the prophesied Ragnarok… it had all just been a dream.Such a long dream. It felt as though it had lasted thousands of years. I had even seen Odin sitting alone in that vast, empty hall.No matter what, I have to find him now. If not for that nightmare, I would never have realized how terrifying it is to be separated from him.But… why are the people around me looking at me so strangely?And they are clearly ordinary gods, yet their clothing and accents are so unusual. And none of them are fleeing from the enormous golden whale in the sky—what o
In the Age of Rebirth, the gods awaken one after another, and the Nine Realms are reshuffled.What appears to be a brand-new order conceals the hidden threads of fate.Ina of this life—once the goddess of love in her previous one—awakens from a single dream and chooses to retain the memories of her past, returning to the realm of the Æsir.Yet the world she returns to has already been turned upside down.A fractured identity.Two divine races locked in irreconcilable conflict.Loki’s obsessive search.Odin’s deliberate indifference…“A reborn world… is a new world. All ties of the past have long since ceased to exist.”“I no longer love you. I’m sorry,” he says flatly.From destruction to rebirth—is this the ending she had waited for?In these three thousand years, what had she truly lost?And what was it that, after the incantation of the Path of the Underworld, granted her this chance to be reborn?Chapter One: Odin’s LongingThe World Tree, also known as the Tree of the Cosmos, i
The process of the second round was for the goddesses to choose their warriors. The warriors first had to compete with the guardians of the World Tree. The guardians would then allow twice the number of warriors to climb up the tree, giving the goddesses a chance to select suitable partners. Each w
On the night of the engagement ceremony, a cold moon hung in one corner of the snowy sky, half veiled by a few thin drifting clouds. The palace courtyard was already covered in a blanket of pure white snow. Inside the palace, lamps were lit one after another, their glow joining with the snowlight a
“Your Majesty, are you talking about someone you used to love?”“My wife,” Xiu En replied with a faint smile. “But she passed away many years ago.”He looked at me gently, the snowlight glimmering in his eyes. “Child, you must believe in the person you love.”With that, he stood up, preparing to re
