Overgeared

In the distant past...

A new lord was appointed to the town of a certain kingdom. He was a very greedy man. He used every excuse to impose harsh tax rates and hard labor on the people. The higher the walls and spires of the manor, the more impoverished the people’s lives became.

Of course, the people didn’t just sit idly by and watch. They sent an appeal to the king while listing the lord’s guilt. However, the kingdom didn’t help them. It was because the lord was justified in raising the tax rate. The inspector dispatched just in case took the bribery money from the lord and ignored the hardships of the people. He praised the contribution of the lord for building high walls to prevent the invasion of the different species.

After the inspector left, the lord resented the people.

Why did you, who should be loyal and obedient to me, betray me?

He trembled with a sense of betrayal and harbored hostility toward the people. From then on, there were people suffering from starvation. More and more people fell ill and died because they couldn’t eat well.

It was Lars who saved them. The people who lost their lives after meeting the wrong lord—the boy took pity on them and used his extraordinary brain and his father’s power to help the people. Embankments were built in exquisite locations and large-scale fishing was done to give food to the people.

He didn’t raise his father’s suspicions. He explained that the embankments were built because he wanted to monopolize the big lake. There was no interference from the lord. It was because his father was the lord.

The boy, who was the son of the vicious lord, used the heart and power of his father who loved him to help the people. The hunger of the people was quenched due to the boy.

Then an accident happened. The lord’s eyes turned when he learned the use of the lake his son had created. He released poison into the lake. Dead fish floated on the blackened lake. The number of dead fish was so great that it was almost impossible to see the water’s surface. The only thing visible was the bellies of the fishes. The people lamented and the boy despaired.

“Why are you doing this when you should be their parent?”

The boy yelled at his father for the first time since he was born and threw himself into the lake. It was after chewing herbs that purified water only when mixed with human blood. The son’s resentment and curse that he would blame his father even in death if he took the lake away from the people lingered forever in the lord’s ears.

On this day, the lake turned black and then returned to blue.

The boy died. It was only when he died that he became a god. It was a rare case among the human gods. However, the boy didn’t know about his own death. The complicated memories of being reborn with the aspirations of human beings made him forget about death.

“You... who are you?”

The boy who spilled water, not blood, from his wounds—Lars, the god of fishing, barely managed to come to his senses and asked. He seemed unfamiliar with Grid’s group, who were looking at him with sad expressions. It was different from Debirion, who vaguely guessed Grid’s identity. He seemed to be ignorant of the world since he had been living in rivers and lakes.

“I am called the Overgeared God.”

“Over... geared God.”
