Chapter: Chapter 386The Chief of Police’s face drained of color.“No, I mean… yes. Yes, you dare to pull the trigger.”“No,” Jose exhaled slowly, almost tired. “I don’t dare to pull the trigger. Do you know why?”“I… I don’t know, Governor. Please, tell me.”“The last time I killed a man was during the rebellion, forty years ago. That man was the Governor before me. I swore to the people his blood would be the last I shed, so Vinland could finally know peace.”The Chief of Police nodded rapidly, desperate to cling to his words. “Yes, yes, Governor. You’re right. Killing is useless. Especially killing me—”“But I was wrong,” Jose cut him off, his voice low and heavy.“People whisper that I’m weak because I let the mockery slide. Because I don’t punish fools who act like I’m blind, like I’m some impotent governor sitting on a crumbling throne. And truthfully…”His eyes narrowed, his tone dropped to a growl. “I never cared about their little games.”But then Jose’s face twisted, rage boiling over. His hand

Chapter: Chapter 385Bernard F. Peterson was the Vice Governor of Vinland State.At fifty, he was still considered young for a politician, and his ambition burned hotter than ever—he wanted the Governor’s seat.But that dream never found its flame.Jose, the old but unshakable Governor, still held the people’s hearts.Every time Bernard tried to convince the public that Vinland needed a younger, stronger leader to carry it into a modern era of weapons and technology instead of clinging to outdated agriculture, the people ignored him.Only the restless younger generation listened.“William, you’d make a fine Governor,” Bernard told him again and again. “Your father is old. You should ask him to retire early.”He never missed a chance to feed William’s ambition, whispering poison into his ear, urging him toward the throne.But Bernard knew the truth—William was useless.Ambitious, yes, but stupid, a fool with no brains.That made William the perfect fool—a pawn Bernard could use to strike against his own fa

Chapter: Chapter 384Alex froze at Lucia’s fading voice.“Doctor!” he barked, shoving Josephine toward him. “Test her blood—now! Maybe we still have a chance!”The doctor’s brow furrowed, hesitation flickering in his eyes. “Are you certain?”“No,” Alex shot back. “But if they’re related, there’s hope. A miracle, maybe. Unless you’ve got something better to offer?”The doctor’s eyes flicked to Jose, trembling with tears, then to Lucia, already slipping into unconsciousness.Time was running out.A gamble, but one worth taking.“All right,” he said quickly, pulling Josephine toward the lab. “Better to try than do nothing.”Alex knelt beside Lucia, taking her frail hand in his.He poured his inner energy into her, helping her heart to hold on. Jose stood silent at her other side, tears streaming down his face, powerless.Minutes crawled by.Then the doors burst open—doctor and nurses rushing in, their faces glowing with relief.They shoved Alex aside like a storm and worked at lightning speed, pumping fresh

Chapter: Chapter 383“Don’t call me mother. I never had a son like you. You’re evil incarnate!”Lucia’s voice cracked, tears spilling down her face, her chest aching as if her heart itself were being torn apart.“Whatever,” William said coldly.“I’ll always be your son. Even when you’re dead, I’ll still be your son—the one who inherits everything you own.”With a vicious swing, the baseball bat smashed against Lucia’s head.The sickening thud echoed through the room.Her body crumpled to the floor.A jagged wound split open on her scalp, blood seeping fast, pooling across the floor, soaking into her clothes, staining his.“Wait…” Lucia gasped, her voice trembling.“What?” William sneered, his eyes blazing with contempt.“Want to beg for forgiveness? You’re already old. What’s the point of living longer? You drove your own daughter away. If you need someone to blame, blame yourself!”“Where… where did you bury Maria’s body?” Lucia whispered, her voice broken with tears and pain.William’s smile twisted int

Chapter: Chapter 382Everyone carries some regret in life.For Lucia, the regret went back twenty years—when she failed to stop her only daughter from giving her heart to a man with no honor, a poor peasant with nothing to his name.“Maria,” Lucia said, her voice sharp with authority.“You must remember, we come from the family of the Governor of Vinland. You cannot marry a man with no identity, no honor.”“Mother!” Maria cried, tears streaming down her face.“I don’t care about titles or standing. I love him. And he loves me. Why can’t we be together?”Lucia’s tone hardened. “You’re still young. Love fades. Men like him cling to women like you only for power, only for position. He is using you!”Maria’s eyes flared with defiance.“You adopted William as your son! He’s the one you always praise, the perfect man in your eyes—and I’m nothing compared to him.”“Then give him the governor’s seat! I don’t want any of it. All I want is to be with the man I love.”“That is impossible!” Lucia thundered.And so, i

Chapter: Chapter 381Jose shot up from his chair the instant he heard the rumble of a car speeding down the street.“It’s William’s car.”He rushed to the back door, hoping to find Josephine, but all that greeted him was a pile of garbage she had been about to throw out.His stomach dropped.“That fucking bastard! He took her!” Jose’s rage shook his voice.He stormed into the house, heading straight for the keys to his truck.“Where are you going?” Lucia asked, alarm flashing in her eyes.“William kidnapped Josephine. That bastard’s gone too far!”“Don’t be too harsh with him,” Lucia warned softly.Jose spun on her, eyes burning.“Harsh? This is on you!” Jose roared.“You spoiled him, coddled him, sheltered him from every damn consequence. Look at what you’ve made—he’s no man, he’s a goddamn monster! I warned you—one day he’ll kill you, and he’ll take the rest of us down with him!”He yanked the drawer open, ripped out his gun, and slammed the cylinder full of bullets, his hands shaking with rage.“I’m do

Return of Overthinker
When the demon finally harnessed human sins and negative emotions to harvest negative energy, it opened a spatial gate to the planets that were already ravaged by monsters and teeming with dark creatures. The beasts and monsters passed through the gate, unleashing havoc upon Earth. These monstrous creatures caused destruction on a massive scale, pushing the earth toward an apocalyptic catastrophe.
In this dark time, The Creator granted certain humans the ability, marked by symbols on their right hands, to wield the power of gods and angels to combat these dark creatures.
My ability was 'Overthinking,' the weakest, but with hard work, I persisted for 60 years to become the most powerful and the savior of the world. However, in my final moments, I was betrayed by a friend who was born rich and noble, who forced me to die to obtain everything I had worked so hard for. Nevertheless, before my demise, I sent my memories back to my younger years.
This time, I will obtain everything: the best items, the finest women, and the most potent abilities. All will be mine!

Chapter: Chapter 204I was a bit surprised. "Isn't down there a place where the dead rest, and there is nothing but cold and barren land?" "At first, it was a place full of beauty, but those who did not like it destroyed everything in it, making it cold and barren. I hope you can help those suffering down there find kindness and peace. In truth, you can build a place far more beautiful than the palace of the gods because hell was initially a very beautiful place for those in need." "I accept it wherever You send me." *** In a temple where knowledge was usually shared, several humans who were teachers of various schools gathered to discuss important matters about knowledge. "Hey," said one human to another, "Why did the gods stop sharing their knowledge with us?" "Haven't you heard that the King of the gods, or God Indra, has been replaced?" "Really?" "God Indra is now angry after finding out that knowledge was given to humans by the previous Indra," said another human. "He stopped all knowledge fro

Chapter: Chapter 203After 1,000 years had passed, the three worlds experienced their golden age. There was no poverty or hunger throughout the three worlds. Everything was going very well. All dimensions entered a golden age because kindness became the most important thing in the three realms. Humans, gods, ashuras, and all beings were directed to continue giving kindness to all creatures. During my reign, everyone competed to do good so that there was no poverty, hunger, or lack. During that time, those who came to me, whether gods, ashuras, or humans, would get what they asked for. I did this as my way of doing good to all beings.One day, a dwarf-bodied brahmin came to my palace. The brahmin, called Vamana, had a body that was only waist-high to an ordinary human. He wore white clothes that wrapped loosely around his small body. However, considering that he was a human and came from the third dimension, being able to ascend to the twelfth dimension where the gods' palace was located was alr

Chapter: Chapter 202"I don't remember that part," I said. "Because each life makes you forget. I just want to say, if you give the gods' knowledge to humans, won't the gods lose their power? Haven't you humiliated them all? Your strength has made you not understand the feelings of the weaker gods." "Guru, if what you say is true, is my current strength because I was a strong spirit in the past?" He looked at me and weakly shook his head. "No, all spirits start from the same place." "Then why did I become strong?" "You had no fear, and your enjoyment of playing made you keep striving for something greater without caring for your own life." Brihaspati continued, "However, what placed you as King Indra is something else." "What is that?" "A sense of responsibility to protect the weak and make life better for all beings." Brihaspati sighed. "Those who have that sincerity will always be carried by karma and the will of God to re

Chapter: Chapter 201"Boss, you've become weak," said Raindo, one of the Ashura generals, approaching me. He looked enormous compared to my now smaller form. "You keep spending time in that school and library. You never fight anymore. You're going to become weak, and the previous Indra will soon return to reclaim his throne." "You just don't understand, my brother," I said, still reading a book. "Right now, I am ten times stronger than I was before." "I don't believe it," said Raindo, one of the strongest generals. "Let's test it." "Of course," I said, seemingly unconcerned. "Get ready." "I'm always ready," he replied. As soon as he said that, a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky, striking his body. He was thrown far, crashing into the palace walls and severely injured. "What happened?" he asked, looking confused and trying to stand up. He didn't know what had hit him. "I just attacked you. I gained the power

Chapter: Chapter 200“Oh,” I shouted. “That's easy.” Suddenly, I felt very smart. “I have plenty of wealth in the treasury.” Quickly, I ordered several Ashura to bring as much treasure as possible from Indra's vault and distribute it to all the Ashura. All the Ashura were happy. “Look, Guru, haven't I done a good deed? I shared my wealth with them.” I felt pleased. “Fool!” he shouted. “You haven't done a good deed at all. You should have given the wealth to those in need.” I fell silent. Quickly, I ordered all the Ashura to return the treasures they had received. The Ashura didn't need wealth; if there was one thing they needed, it was weapons. They all grumbled, and I quickly asked, “Do you want food and drink or wealth?” “Food!!!!” “Drink!!” None wanted wealth. Suddenly, it dawned on me. Who needs wealth? The Ashura don't need wealth, the gods already have plenty of wealth. The only poor creatures needing wealth are humans

Chapter: Chapter 199“Prepare all the food and drinks. All the gods must order their servants to bring all the food from their palaces. Call the apsaras, the heavenly maidens, and beautiful dancers. Call the singers and musicians. We will have a party.” So, a grand feast was held for days in the courtyard of Indra's palace. Music, dancing, and food never stopped. After that, the Ashura were left drunk in the palace courtyard. The gods had returned to their respective duties. I moved around to see the entire palace, and suddenly, an old man appeared before me. “What have you done to this place?” the old man asked, looking at the palace's new weapon-laden decor. “Who are you?” I asked, confused. This old man wore the simple clothes of a Brahmana, a single piece of cloth. The Brahmana do not fight, so we never touch them. If they get angry, we could get the worst curses of our lives. But if they are pleased, they could grant us many new and exciting powers. We prefer to appease them and wait for the
