Description

A demigod imprisoned in his own rotting body, death unable to claim him, however a half mortal found him and promised him freedom. In turn the demigod promised to pay his revenge in full and to give affection on this person. Love like spring, does it bloom?

Foreword

The demigod is regal, though his figure remains still, the air which hung in his presence nothing less dignified and here is the only monarch Donghae will acknowledge. "I am eternally grateful that you've come once again with another fragment of mine, speak of your wish this time, my warrior."

"May I kiss your hand, my liege?"

Accustomed to such respect and honor, the demigod did not find the request strange and raised his fingers that he made as permission. The warrior Donghae marched cautiously to shorten their distance, taking the cold and beautiful hand in his and bringing it to his lips. Pouring out all his emotions in the kiss, his loyalty, his honor and his veneration.

"A request isn't equal to a wish, my warrior. Do not shame yourself with these small favors."

"For one such as myself who doesn't have a name, these small favors means a lot for me, my liege. The one and only who shown me kindness and not condemn and rejection which I'm far too familiar with."

The warrior catches the downcast of the sky blue eyes, "my warrior Donghae, my heart is still as a stone, however it ached at your words, yet it must be a hundred fold and more for you. Tell me, my sweet warrior, what other small favors I could give you?"

The warrior Donghae smiled for the first time since their first encounter, a beautiful obscured sight from which the demigod did not realize that the warrior was able, knowing the horrible pain he was suffering. "You've given me plenty, my liege, the ache you felt was proof of the care from which you honor me with. Foreign as it might, it relieves me a great deal of weight."

 

 

 

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here we are again! The pairing is neutral, it's up to you how would you like it being HyukHae or HaeHyuk.

This has fantasy theme. But not like unicorn type of fantasy, but more like Monster Hunter type of fantasy.

It's basically them flirting, I guess? 🤣 This was very self indulgent, written by some inspirations from certain games.

Also, this is very light, in my opinion, however there's one or two sentences which mentioned ual assault (not main characters) in a conversation. And child abandonment/abuseagain in a conversation. Readers discretion advised.

Disclaimer: I'm not an English native speaker, so do pardon my grammar or any other errors 🙏

Now that's out of the way, enjoy reading!

Chapter 1: No, I don't think Hyukjae is evil here. Nor is Hae. But both of them want the same thing.

Chapter 1: There was no love lost for Donghae in that world. After restoring Hyukjae, a purge of the darkness and those that oppressed the demigod was likely satisfying for them both. The ashes turned to spring, signifying rebirth. Everything seems morally grey. It's a good open ending.
