Epsilon...

He was like a radiant character, someone who could become a protagonist of his own story.

Leaving the C-rank gate, the other could not help but express their gratitude again to Epsilon.

Again, Epsilon kindly smiled and waved his hand to say it was nothing. He looked up and saw the sun and the new environment that graced him.

The sky seemed to become more alive, and the air brushed against his skin delightedly. The smile on Epislon’s widened; his purple eyes sparkled with the sunlight.

The group had not taken their eyes off him, and so they witnessed this captivating scene, and their hearts could not help but thump in admiration.

Not only was Epsilon kind, but even his appearance was just like an angel sent by heaven in this world. They all had that thought in their minds.

Epsilon’s charm worked wonders, and the group easily became his admirers in such a short amount of time.

None of them thought it was strange at all, but they even felt it was justified that they began to look up to Epsilon.

Epsilon’s attention was not on them but on feeling the sensation in his heart and how the world seemed to welcome his arrival.

He blinked and turned, looking in a certain direction.

There...

Epsilon smiled once more; his purpled eyes glinted menacingly.

"I’ll reclaim what’s mine... Rise."

Just as he descended earlier, the Epsilon this time was a lot more different than the previous resets. It was not that he was more powerful, but that he also had memories of the plot.

It was something that the desperate author herself permitted for. Of course, judging by the situation... It might not be as helpful.

However, Epsilon was the protagonist of this world and so the darling of the plot and fate. No matter what, he was still the priority.

What changes would he bring to this world?

At the same time, Rise could not help but frown slightly. He looked at the window. What was that?

He seemed to feel a malicious intention directed at him.

"Rise?" A small voice called his name, and his attention was immediately drawn to this idea.

Two round eyes looking at him, concerned.

Rise blinked, and slowly an amused smile appeared on his lips.

"Well, nothing..." Rise did not know what it was about; there was no need to overthink so much. Instead, he patted Riri’s bum. "Now, let’s take a bath! We’ll visit Daddy soon."

Riri tilted his head.

"Daddy?"

Rise laughed, also not used to it.

"Kamille. He’s your daddy."

Somehow, he was loving this. Although it was strange at first, after a night had passed, Rise accepted the situation with his heart. He could even joke about this with Kamille.

Heh, just wait.

Riri was confused, and Rise’s mischievous expression did not help.

"Why is he, my daddy?"

He knew what Daddy meant, just like how Grandpa wanted him to call him "Grandpa." But he had yet to grasp its significance in the human world.

Rise was genuinely enjoying this.

"Because he’s your daddy." Honestly, how could he even explain it to the child?

Rise grinned at Riri and suddenly thought of something.

"Riri, listen..." The other immediately became attentive. "When we met Kamille... your daddy later. Call him Dad, okay?" Rise almost giggled at the idea.

He was truly enjoying it and looking forward to Kamille’s reaction. And, of course, he was also enjoying playing with his son.

Son... Rise paused, being so giddy all of a sudden.

Riri could not keep up with Rise’s changing expressions, but he was used to it.

"Call him... Dad?" Riri nervously repeated.

Rise knew why he was anxious.

"Don’t worry, he won’t be mad."

Rise honestly did not know what his reaction would be, but angry was not one of those options for certain. Riri sensed his confidence and so finally agreed.

And even if he wanted to use his ability to cheat again and see what would be Kamille’s reaction if he called him dad, he could not.

Kamille’s fate was always dark before, but it somehow appeared blank now. Riri could not sense anything at all.

As for Rise... It was almost the same, but blurred. The clear indication of their fates was something Riri could not see even if he went back to his real form.

The reason he knew they would return yesterday was the occasional bout of visions, which was something he could not control.

These he already told them, and the two were not concerned, and so he stopped thinking about it.

When they did not know that they were biologically related, Kamille and Rise already emphasized to Riri not to use his ability. It was even more now.

One could only concur that they would be protective parents.

Rise took a bath after he finished preparing Riri with his cute kid-sized suits. They were especially customized by his father. Niftan was so fond of Riri for some reason.

He could not help but think if the old man sensed their relationship... but it should not be the case. However, it was fine too. Riri liked his grandpa, too, and the customized outfits.

This was also not new, as his father always bought him gifts on every occasion; it was probably the old man’s way of showing affection.

"Where are you going?" Niftan asked when Rise went to the living room, wearing casual wear, unlike the usual Union uniform.

Even after a month, he had not yet adapted to Rise suddenly not being addicted to gate raiding and so not always wearing the uniform.

He was carrying the cute and dashing Riri. There was even a bow tie on him, which made him more adorable.

"We’re visiting Riri’s dad," Rise stated, brushing his hair and chuckling when he saw his father’s reaction.

"Are you serious? "

Rise laughed at him. "Of course... not. You know how he is."

Niftan narrowed his eyes, as though trying to figure out if Rise was telling the truth. Yet, Rise was always hard to read.

At this moment, Riri spoke.

"Grandpa," Riri began to ask something about his toys.

Which was a good distraction as the old man became attentive again.

Rise smiled at their interactions.

Well, he was unfilial, but his son might not be.

It was then that his communication device rang. Rise’s brow arched up and went to the corner before he read the message. It did not take too long before his expression dropped.

"Epsilon..."

is finally here.
