LOGINI guided 3,600 souls across the River Styx. I endured the fires of Hell 3,600 times on behalf of the rich and powerful. I turned down 3,600 offers from the King of Hell to be reborn into a life of wealth and privilege. Finally, after I earned enough merit, the King of Hell allowed me to return to the day of my father’s wedding. I shoved my way through the guests and screamed until my voice gave out. “Dad! Don’t marry her!”

From now on, they can earn their redemption by helping the Ferryman guide the dead across the River Styx.”I stared at him in surprise.He sighed and rubbed her temples.“I never imagined you’d do absolutely anything to return to the day your father got married.“If I’d known how desperately you wanted it, I would have approved your request long ago.”I blinked.“You… You didn’t want me to go back?”“Go back? So, you could keep throwing your life away trying to save him? If your father never got married, you wouldn’t even have a soul.”“I know…”A helpless look crossed his face, but he patiently continued.“If I hadn’t forcibly preserved your soul, you would have already dissolved into nothingness.”“Thank you, but if I had the chance to do it all over again, I’d still make the same choice.”He fell silent.Then he swished her sleeve,
“No.”I smiled.“I went back to secure Dad’s happiness for the rest of his life. Why would I regret it?”In their first lifetime, Dad and Suzy arrived at the Bridge of Requiter together.They had both died peacefully of old age.Dad paused as they passed me.He turned and glanced at the stone beside the bridge.“What is it?” Suzy asked.He shook his head.“Nothing.”Fifty years later, a brother and sister arrived.They both turned around at the same time, their gazes falling on me.“Don’t you think that stone looks strange?”“You think so too?”“Yeah… It feels as if we’ve seen it before…”“Haha! You’re imagining things, sis. How could we possibly know a stone?”They disappeared into the distance amid laughter, drank the potion of forgetfulness, and set off toward their new lives.In their second lifetime, Dad and Suzy were childhood sweethearts once again.They grew up together, but this time, they never ended up together.Dad joined the police force and died heroically in the line of
Only then did I realize I hadn’t been the only one condemned to cross the River Styx and endure the endless torment of the underworld.Not long after I earned a place to return to the day Dad married, Dad had also been granted permission to return to that day.“I know why you came. But Eli, you were never the cause of Dad’s unhappiness.“Neither were you responsible for my failures. We were father and son before this, and we’ll still be father and son afterward.”I shook my head.“No… You can’t…”He cut me off.“Eli, if you’re gone, Dad has no reason to go on living.”As he spoke, he took a step backward.“No!”I reached out my hand.Dad might have been naive, but once he made up his mind, nothing could sway him.If I refused, he would throw himself over the railing.Nancy stared at us in astonishment.“What are you two talking about?”I ignored her.Instead, I slowly lowered my hand.“I… I understand…”I led my men backward.“I won’t interfere in your lives anymore. Dad, I’m glad I go
By the time I stumbled back to the wedding venue, the ceremony had already ended.“Did you hear? Mr. Lowe isn’t planning to stay here. He’s leaving the country with Miss York to start a new life overseas as soon as the wedding is over.”“What? Didn’t Miss York already establish her businesses here? Why is she suddenly leaving?”“There’s nothing she can do. Miss York has always obeyed her husband.”“Ah… If only I had a devoted wife like Miss York…”What?I grabbed a passerby.“Which way did they go?”By the time I reached the harbor in a frenzy, Dad had already boarded the ship.He reached out a hand and was about to pull Nancy aboard.“Dad!”I stumbled and fell to the ground.“Dad! You can’t leave with her!”Nancy shot me an irritated glance.The passersby also looked at me curiously.“Is this kid insane? He’s so young, yet he’s calling someone his own age ‘Dad’?”Shane turned around.I reached out to him.“Dad! No!”He let out a sigh.Then he turned away and pulled Nancy aboard.The s
