“RISE AND SHINEEEE!!!!” Zhou Mingrui exclaimed as he pulled the curtains causing sun rays to fall directly on top of his peacefully sleeping room-mate Klein Moretti’s face earning a gasp from him.
“WHY THE HELL DO YOU ALWAYS DO THIS??” Klein clearly annoyed.
“Do what?” asked the ‘clueless’ looking clown.
“Wake me so early in the morning? There are still 3 hours before any classes? You don't even teach me mysticism any more so I ask, WHY???” Klein chortled once again.
“It’s nice to wake up early, it helps for healthy body” Zhou said, clearly enjoying the reaction shamelessly.
“I AM A SEQUENCE 3 AND YOU ARE A FUCKING GOD, WHY THE HELL WOULD I NEED TO WAKE UP EARLY???” Klein retorted angrily.
“Ah, still the same as ever” Mingrui mused.
“Any ways, I made some pancakes for breakfast, but looks like you would rather sleep” Mingrui said, toying with the feelings by using, “Their” first love.
“So where the pancakes?” shamelessly asked Klein while being suddenly dressed to the boot like they were trying to put the royal nobles to shame in some ball.
“Two minutes, some guests are also joining in, why don't you go invite Welch and Naya also” suggested the friendly alternate timeline god.
“Please don't tell me you finally invited one of those fellow transmigrator friends of yours? Well technically my fellow transmigrators since it’s my timelin-, whatever who cares, I just wanna see if the Evernight goddess really has tea sessions with you, or If Roselle really tasted................. ” Klein rambled on trying his best to conceal his inner hunger.
“Actually, not one of them is coming, sorry” Mingrui faking sadness
“What do you mean by ‘not’ ??”
‘Why is he such sharp witted?, wait he’s me isn’t that a good thing?’”Yeah because instead of Amanises or Roselle, Amanises, Roselle and Grisha are joining!!!!” Exclaimed Mingrui in a cheerful voice.
“...”
“Why so silent?”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN 3 OF THEM ARE COMING???? AND GRISHA IS THE SUN GOD!! HOW CAN REACT TO SOMETHING LIKE THAT????” Klein, clearly not having any part of whatever bullshit Mingrui was plotting
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside a somewhat luxurious appartment
Klein was just waiting with Welch and Naya for the guests to arrive, when suddenly Klein started feeling nostalgic for some reason.
It had been 2 yrs sice Mingrui arrived in this world and told him all the secrets of the world safe for him, which led to him leaving his identity of Zhou Mingrui of this timeline behind, he also found out that he was supposed to be transmigrated in 1349, but due to a certian friendly ancient god, he transmigrated 2 years earlier. Hell, Mingrui even helped his brother get a job and got Melissa enrolled in Backlund University. However it took some real effort even for him to introduce his siblings to mysticism without raising flags, unfortunately, or fortunately he couldn’t handle it anymore and told them the truth, it seemed hard to forgive him but they understood his circumstances and he was back in family again, with Benson as his trust worthy lawyer and Melissa being the nerdy savant. They were currently on sequence 7 and 5 respectively, funny how Melissa surpassed Beson so easily.
He however a different story, he also had sefirah castle like his alternate self and was already a sequence 3 ready to advance anytime, but he was stopped because ‘this time’, as the friendly neighbourhood god called it, he didn't need to abandon his humanity, and he can rise as the most human angel and god ever, yes the fact that he could become a god was unexpected to him, but he accepted, ‘cause what could go wrong?’
“Daydreaming great habit to come up with ‘plot’” a calm voice stopped his nostalgic musing.
“Huh??” Klein looked around in panic as realised that 6 pairs of eyes were feasting on his nostalgic-musing-face,’wait 6 people, when did the transmigrators arrive?’
“Excuse me, is something wrong? I did not mean to zone out …” Klein apologised in a somewhat questioning voice.
“Oh no problem dear, We are also at blame here aren’t we, right Huang Tao?” spoke the lady in the black dress which Klein guessed was The Goddess and the person she was staring at while speaking, the only person eating pancakes and enjoyin the ‘show’ was probably The Great Emperor of Intis, Roselle Gustav, which leaves the person wearing a white long robe, which almost made his look like some Sun church priest was probably Grisha, The Sun God.
“Hello Klein, I’m Amanises and happy to meet ya, Introduction might’ve been slightly delayed~” Amanises spoke shaking Klein’s hand, still throwing daggers at Tao.
Meanwhile, Huang Tao, who was pretty unceremoniously eating the delicious looking pancakes alone, while standing, fumbled sitting in the chair, clearly intimidated by Goddess of The Night.
“Uhmmm, Hi there my name is Huang Tao and nice to meet you” Roselle blurted not wanted to be eaten alive by the parties present for being rude.
“And I’m Grisha, nice to meet you... finally” Grisha said ending the introduction as everyone began eating the pancakes, needless to say they were glorious.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
‘How did it come to this?’ question Klein as he was bewildered by the fact that he’s finally playing cards, the cards were UNO, and he was playing them with 4 gods and his friends who were somehow unfazed.
“UNO” Grisha said in a firm voice as he only had one card left.
“I can't wait to claim my prize” Grisha continued excitedly when suddenly Klein interrupted, “What prize?”.
“The winner can order anyone anything” Grisha answered like he already won.
“And what do you exactly have in mind???” Naya asked excited to what their priest like friend had to say.
“Simple” Grisha spoke up looking straight at Klein,”Marry me Klein Moretti”
“WHAT THE FUCK!!??” Everyone exclaimed at the same time caught off guard.
“But I am straight!!! - This kind of prize doesn’t count!!! – You can't choose on my behalf!!” Klein started stumbling on his words loosing his composure due to the sudden announcement.
Meanwhile Grisha just smirked and let out a “heh” clearly trained by a redhead provoker.
“Well. We will see what happens, sorry” Welch braking through Klein’s mental breakdown rap while pulling out a +4 card and placing it on top of the pile on table.
“Nuh uh, Sorry Zhou” Naya smiled as she pulled out another +4 and stacked it on top.
But for some reason was zoning out like he was doing some divine bullshit. “Don’t worry Klein, I got your back” Zhou announced smirking and winking at Tao and Amanises and slapping a +4 wild card on the table.
Which suddenly resulted in stiffled laughter from Tao and Amanises, and soon even Klein joined, then, all of them, one after another slapped +4 wild cards on the table draining all the colour from The Sun God’s face.
“NOOOOOOOO!!!!, IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!, THIS IS BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!” Grisha started crying like a child, “It’s the third time I am getting rejected by you!!!”
“????” Everyone except Mingrui wore questioning faces.
“He confessed to me twice already” Mingrui answered innocently while simultaneously stealing Naya and Welch’s memories to not ‘harm’ their IQ level.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Haha, so sad you weren’t there, even temperance won't be able to help you resist the laughter of seeing a god suffer” Klein sang out the story happily laughing.
“Are you saying that I am lucky that you aren’t interested in men, or we’d have broken up?” a cool and calm voice which belonged to Sharron resounded in his ear as it was being pulled.
‘Is that what you get, owwww’ Klein cried internally as he witnessed his girlfriend ignore how a GOD cried on his rejection and was ‘POUTING??!!!’
Klein’s mouth hung open as he winessed the fabled miracle of witnessing one’s partner pout, ‘TOOOO CUTE!!!’.
“You know what I changed my mind, we’re going to the new high end bakery instead!” Klein announced in a proud voice.
“You don’t need to do anything John, I can't really eat anything pleasurable untill angelhood...” Sharron spoke sounding ‘Dejected???, this is just too much for my heart’, being careful to not mention Klein’s real name and using the name of this persona of his who worked under The Great Detective Sherlock Moriarty.
As like everything was big elaborate reasonable development, Miss messenger appeared right on que saying,”Don’t say anything, I’ve witnessed it all, you are now ‘ordered’ to take an off from temperance for a week, and John, make her happy or The Fool’s church will face problems” and disappeared right away.
“I swear on my on existence, I didn't plan any of this” Klein defended himself.
“He’s tellling the truth, because I did it” Suddenly Grisha spoke up
‘When did this rappe-, you know what never mind’
“And why did you do it?” Sharron questioned without any emotion, like all her emotions were drained due to unwanted attention.
“Because you looked dejected due to unable to enjoy your time with your love-”
“Lies” Klein cut him off mercilessly
“Ah, you seers are too good at this, even though I am a god”
“Indeed, I did this in hope the that due to my act of kindness, it’d seem ‘reasonable’ that Miss Sharron would let me in on your relationsh-”.
“Quit it, I am not letting you in” Klein and Sharron said in sync.
“Ah, looks like I need some ‘ques’ right here” Grisha threatened no, started making a cool geasture, probably to imply that he was going to end this, once and for all.
“Nuh uh, gay rapper” a voice belonging to Zhou resounded as he used his door powers to replicate an arbiter, applying it to the ‘Nuh uh’ within the context.
“WHAT DO HAVE AGAINST GAYS??” an angry voice belonging to The Great Emperor roared.
“NOTHING!!, THEY ARE JUST GAY FOR ‘ME’” Zhou roared back, clearly fooling the homophobic allegations.
“Shut up, who else other than a homophobic has something of the level of a uniqueness lying in Junk pile, right beibei” Roselle spat back while asking for validation from his daughter like a teenager on internet.
Before Bernadette could support her father, right on que Amanises came to the rescue, holding a piece of paper started reading it out loud, “Taste of demoness ain’t that ba-”.
“You are absolutely right, shut it gay rapper” Roselle switching sides instantly.
“What did I do other than....” Grisha’s cries slowly faded in background as Sharron suddenly cornered her lover and his alternate timeline god version, and prosecuted “You.... both keep something like a uniqueness in a... junk pile?”
“Please don't tell anyone” Both begged.
Sharron looked at Klein and said,”You better work on managing the vacation”, then looking at Zhou said,”And you will make sure teacher extends the vacation to a month and, either you are going to give Klein a salary increase or pay for the vacation, understood”
“YES, MA’AM!!” Both replied drawing every last breath they had in their lungs.

In a middle class house in Backlund, a small handsome boy started laughing like a madman as he enjoyed his ice cream.
“The river of fate sure is having a seizure today”
