Overgeared

Birds sitting side by side on branches moved their eyes. They were bewildered because the hulled millet always sprinkled on top of the snow-covered soy sauce jars couldn’t be seen.

Chirp chirp!

The yangban, Mir, watched the birds that started chirping and opened his mouth, “Kaya’s perpetual snow was created by the blue dragon’s resentment.”

The reason Kaya was called the Sand Kingdom was because it was surrounded by deserts. However, it only snowed in the capital. Since when did it start snowing? The people of Kaya, who forgot the blue dragon, didn’t remember. However, Mir and the yangbans remembered it vividly. The moment the blue dragon was sealed, snow started falling from the cloudy sky.

“This snow hurt many people.”

Kaya’s people didn’t know the cold. They weren’t prepared for the cold. It was difficult to adapt to the cold and snow that suddenly occurred and many people froze to death or abandoned their hometown. It was the same for the animals. There were animals who lasted to the end like these birds, while others went extinct or hid in the desert.

“Did the blue dragon really not know that its resentment hurt those it protected?” Mir shook his head and whispered as he gazed at the Blue Dragon Dao. Then he took out a handful of hulled millet and sprinkled it in the yard.

Chirp chirp!

The happy birds gathered around Mir. Mir’s expression was dark as he looked at the birds pecking at the millet and filling up their stomachs.

“The warm consideration of human beings barely saved these hungry little birds in winter. However, as things became harder for humans, they cared less for the birds and eventually starved again. I am the only one these birds can rely on now. They are just like the people of Kaya.”

Mir’s gaze turned to Yeum. Yeum flinched. Yeum couldn’t adapt to the rough scar that covered Mir’s beautiful face that wasn’t erased by Mir.

“Yeum, I think gods and humans aren’t very different.”

The blue dragon, the guardian god of Kaya, who always protected and cared for the people. Behold the great god, who brought lightning and made countless yangbans tremble.

Cursing the gods who sealed it, the blue dragon brought snow all year round in the hopes that people would remember it and serve it again. It didn’t think about how the people it had been protecting were suffering from the cold snow. No, it wouldn’t care even if it knew. This was selfishness. The blue dragon also possessed the same lowly emotions as humans, just like the Five Seniors.

“Therefore, I’m not surprised that a human has become a god.”

“......” Yeum was silent. She criticized Grid for leaving the scar on Mir’s face and laughed at the human being who was impersonating a god. Now she could no longer criticize him or ridicule him. Rather, she felt angry and aggrieved. Even most of the yangbans became frustrated and gave up on becoming a god. Then why was a human called a god? The personalities of a god and humans might be the same, but the innate power was different...

Yet this was cruel reality.

Mir patted her shoulder. “Think of it as an experience.”

“......?”

“Grid is an indication that I can become the Martial God. He is someone I should respect and learn from, rather than feel envious of.”

He meant it with all his heart. Mir was thrilled the moment he felt Grid’s apotheosis. He couldn’t control his overwhelming emotions and stood up while clenching his fists. The development of Grid, who became a god despite being human, was a great hope for Mir, who was god’s creation. It was an opportunity to be certain that his desire and efforts to be the ‘Martial God’ special among the gods weren’t in vain.

‘How far can he climb?’

Should he leave this scar or erase it due to it being worthless? This was something he would only know as he kept watching.

Mir’s expression as he sprinkled the millet was brighter than ever.
