Overgeared

“Khan!!”

As Khan turned to grey, Grid hugged him like he didn’t want to miss a single part.

"You must be happy.”

Khan wanted to say a lot but there was no time. Khan only left a single wish as his testament.

Swaaah.

Finally, Khan’s two hands that wanted to hold Grid completely disappeared before they could wrap around Grid. Khan smiled brightly rather than showing any sorrow. It was Khan’s last appearance that would forever be kept in Grid’s mind.

“Khannnnn!”

Grid didn’t want to lost Khan’s touch, body temperature, and smell that was disappearing like a mirage. He eagerly stretched out a hand but it was useless. His hands only touched the air that had nothing left.

“Oppa...”

Tears constantly flowed from Ruby’s eyes as she watched the last farewell between Grid and Khan. Faker supported her as her nose turned red from crying.

"Let’s leave Grid alone.”

***

The first person who acknowledged him. The person who shared his sufferings, sorrows, and joy. Khan was his teacher, disciple, friend, and family member. He was always at the forefront when Grid was thinking about his ‘precious people’ in his head.

"Kkuk...”

The empty smithy. Now in the place where there was no more Khan, Grid stared at the air with dry eyes before grabbing his chest and collapsing. How many hours passed since Khan left? He thought he had no more tears left but they once again flowed.

"...Terrible old man.” Grid cried with his head on the floor and finally opened his mouth for the first time. His cracked voice echoed through the empty smithy. "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t leave until you got all my skills? Then why...why did you break your promise? Huh? You bad...”

Bad person. Grid complained before stopping. He was worried that the gods were listening to him and might misunderstand, dropping Khan into hell.

“...”

Time flowed in the void. Grid felt a deep grudge as he looked at the smithy covered with traces of Khan. He felt bitter towards himself. Why didn’t he protect Khan? Why couldn’t he arrive a bit sooner?

“We spent 10 long years together.” Grid felt signs of someone being around and said, "But the time to say goodbye was only one second.”

How sad and lonely was Khan? Grid shouted ‘father’ and ‘grandfather’ in his heart but failed to show filial piety. He couldn’t even be there properly at the end.

Lauel comforted Grid, who couldn’t raise his head. "To Khan, that one second would be like an eternity. He wouldn’t have been lonely. He was happy to be able to see you.”

13 hours and 23 minutes after Khan’s death. Lauel had been doing his job while Grid was mourning.

“I used our information network to identity the members of Immortal. I’m investigating the radius and base of their activities, so please give a killing order.”

They dared to invade the Overgeared Kingdom and hurt Grid’s family and friends. Putting aside Grid, there was no forgiveness from the position of the Overgeared Kingdom. Lauel and the Overgeared members were ready to rain hell down on the Immortal members. They planned to trample on Immortal so that they would live in regret while suffering forever.
