Since the disappearance of the Twelve Principal Gods from the mortal world, the Vanir and the Aesir have fallen into bitter division, waging war against one another time and again.Ina, daughter of the Vanir and a legendary Divine Smith capable of forging weapons for the gods themselves, receives an unexpected commission one day—to craft a pair of supreme archmage gloves for the nation’s greatest Grand Magus, Lando.From that moment, the intertwined fate of three people begins to unfold: Ina, Lando, and Shuin, emperor of the Aesir.A story spanning a thousand years quietly sets itself in motion.What none of them foresee is that soon they will awaken from the bodies of their present lives, unveiling the prologue to a new war among the Twelve Gods reborn.The magical war between gods and giants, blessings left behind for millennia, and memories that transcend past and present lives—will the love once shattered in a former age ignite anew in this one?Do you still remember, Odin?

I bent down to pick up the scattered blueprints and my shoulder bag from the ground. My hands were trembling so badly that I dropped everything several times before managing to hold onto them.Although the Ginnungagap Rift separated us from the cold and dark world of the Aesir tribe, our elders had always taught us the same lesson since childhood: if we ever encountered an Aesir, we must run with every ounce of strength we had. Otherwise, death was the only outcome.Before, I had never truly taken those warnings seriously. My understanding of the Aesir tribe had always come from books. Their cities were completely different from our homeland—towering structures rising beneath endless night, countless lights flickering like the eyes of wolves, and pale-skinned Aesir people whose expressions were as cold as ice.To me, all of it felt distant and abstract. I always thought they existed on the far side of the world, while we lived in a remote little village. How could our paths ever cross

Upon entering the tower, we found ourselves inside a stone chamber. Stretching before us was a long staircase, its steps formed from floating slabs of stone. At the top stood a stone pedestal, upon which rested an unknown treasure. A crimson beam of light shot straight upward from it, reaching toward the ceiling.I followed Lan up the staircase until we arrived beside the pedestal.It turned out to be an open book. The pages, spread wide, resembled a red mirror—transparent, smooth, and radiating a crimson glow. I could even see my own reflection clearly upon them. Yet the pages were covered with strange symbols, and the light they emitted shimmered like a lantern projection, scattering countless flecks of light that slowly revolved throughout the chamber. When Lan leaned closer to look, the faint red aura illuminated his face, the glowing symbols drifting across his cheeks.Looking more carefully, I realized the patterns on the pages were none other than a simplified map of the Nine W

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the forest canopy. After crossing a small stone bridge, Lan and I arrived one after the other at the source of Mimir’s Spring. I sat down on a rock beside the water and began the final step of crafting the wand, while Lan leaned against a tree behind me to rest.Perhaps what I had done earlier really was impolite and had made him uncomfortable, but I didn’t think I was wrong. Even without knowing anything about Lan’s romantic history, anyone with eyes could tell that he was the kind of man who knew very well how to charm women and clearly had plenty of experience. Approaching someone like him as a member of the opposite sex would bring me no good—I understood that much.Xiya often said that, to men, the least attractive kind of woman is the one who constantly fears being abandoned—lacking confidence, always anxious that the man might leave, endlessly questioning and clinging like a well-behaved but insecure girl. She also had a catchphrase she’d r

“You really embarrassed yourself,” Xia said for the seventeenth time. “Tell me, how did that note end up on Nasus? Eena, say something—stop fiddling with that bracelet.”“I just realized making magical accessories is way more profitable than ordinary gear. Why don’t we team up in the future? We could make a killing.”“We’ll talk about that later. First, tell me—how did Nasus suddenly turn around?”“I don’t want to talk about it, okay?” I let out a long sigh and flopped onto the bed. “What if I run into Lan in the palace tomorrow? I don’t want to go…”“You’re just not going?” Xia grabbed my shoulders and pulled me upright. “I think facing Lan isn’t a big deal. After all, you didn’t say anything to him. And you even denied what I said.”“I don’t know… I just don’t want to see him.”“Eena, this isn’t the first time you’ve been in a situation like this. You should be used to it by now, right?”Her words reminded me of many embarrassing memories.Two years ago, at the palace awards ceremon
