I feel like I’m in deep shit.
“Master! A letter has arrived!”
“……”
Before my eyes, letters were stacked high on the desk.
I picked one up casually.
A flashy, colorful envelope. The wax seal bore a crest used exclusively by the royal bloodline.
I skimmed through the other letters—they were all the same.
The Duke of the North who protects the Empire from demons, the Holy Maiden leading the Sun Temple, the fortune-telling shaman gazing at the starry skies, the wandering beggar Dark King, and even the mad professor of the university—all of them.
These giants whose words or gestures could shake the continent had sent their gifts alongside letters, scattered across the desk like offerings.
“Should I just send back a reply telling them to piss off today?”
“……No. Let me read them.”
“Truly, you are magnificent, Master! Such benevolence!”
Even Dolphe’s praise in front of me made my head ache.
‘……Right. Just check. Then deny everything.’
Rip!
Evan tore open the letter from the Holy Maiden with trembling hands.
-When will the ‘next’ plan to summon the sun take place?
-I’ve been waiting for your plans so anxiously that my neck is about to fall off!
-Why won’t you meet me personally? But I’ll wait until your will finally reaches me.
-Please bestow upon me a wonderful prophecy……
‘Shit, no, that’s not what it is!’
Evan shut his eyes tightly and shoved the letter aside. I didn’t want to hear Dolphe exclaiming, ‘Ohhh! Treating the Holy Maiden’s letter like garbage…’
He opened another letter.
-It’s getting cold lately, so take care of yourself. So, when’s the next ‘calamity’ coming? Tell me the answer. You must know.
-When will you teach me how to cut the moon? I’m always waiting for your answers. You know everything, don’t you?
-Our star is drawing closer… hehe. It must mean destiny is aligning, right? You know this too, don’t you? I’ll be waiting for this moment…
“……”
All these powerhouses were demanding answers from Evan—as if they believed he was the real puppet master behind everything.
“Whose request will you honor this time? Isn’t there nothing you can’t do, Master?”
As Dolphe spoke, praising him like a deity—
‘Shit, that’s not it!’
Evan squeezed his eyes shut again.
Even the fluttering piece of paper that said “URGENT REPLY REQUIRED” before he closed his eyes—he tried hard to ignore it.
……How did it come to this?
It started here, yeah.
It all began with one letter.
