Chapter: Chapter 485Gerhard felt a cold, sharp dread slice through him. He was a Captain and a Baron's son, born to privilege, but here, under the heavy shadow of Viscount Leopold, he was nothing.A target.If the Viscount decided to strike, Gerhard's pride, his bones, and his carefully constructed world would shatter.He could only endure the beating, retreat to his room, and weep the slow, agonizing tears of utter defeat."Sir, is the woman truly your sister?"Leopold's eyes, cold and merciless, bored into him. "I just met her an hour ago. But I say she's my sister, and that's exactly what she is. What in God's name is it to you, you little insect!"A sharp, open-handed crack echoed through the private room. Leopold's slap sent Gerhard's head whipping sideways.Now, everyone present knew the chilling truth: Viscount Leopold hadn't come for an argument; he was hunting trouble, and Gerhard was his prey.Yet, the question hung heavy in the air: Why? Why was a Viscount, a man of such power, tearing into Ge

Chapter: Chapter 484The manager froze, completely thrown off. He had called for Mister Saint-Claire—yet the other man stepped forward like the name belonged to him.It was so shameless it made the air tighten.“Excuse me,” the manager began, ready to correct the mistake.But Alex lifted a hand, calm and steady. “It’s okay.”Since Alex didn’t mind, the manager let it slide.Gerhard, however, was glowing.For a moment he looked stunned, then stunned turned into pride—especially with Renata standing beside him. Being greeted by the head manager himself? That was enough to inflate any ego.Conrad stared at him, jaw dropped.“Gerhard, you’re unbelievable. That guy’s the branch head. He treated you like royalty. Since when did you know people like that? You never mentioned any of this—such a low-profile man!”Gerhard burst into self-satisfied laughter.“Hahaha! No need to brag about my connections. I keep things quiet. Low-key is better!”Renata blinked in surprise. For once, Gerhard didn’t seem like empty tal

Chapter: Chapter 483 “Renata, do you know this?” Gerhard said, chin lifted with that familiar smugness. “I’m the fastest officer in Winchester history. From cadet to captain in just two years. No one’s ever done it before.”He didn’t stop there.“I still remember the newspapers. My name everywhere. They even called me the Prince of Winchester. Millions of women sent me love letters. I’m practically a legend here.”Renata nodded out of politeness.“This man is unbelievably shameless,” Alex muttered, feeling secondhand embarrassment crawl up his spine.Gerhard couldn’t read a room if someone handed him the instructions. Why brag about being a captain in front of Renata—the daughter of a duke, the daughter of a general?A captain’s rank is nothing to her family. But sure, let him strut around like captaincy is the peak of human greatness.Gerhard kept talking, proudly clinging to his captain rank like it was the center of everyone universe.Moments later, the flying limousine slid to a stop at the front ent

Chapter: Chapter 482Right now, the crowd in front of the airport arrival gate was shifting to one side—drawn toward an elegant woman standing calmly among them.Her long red hair fell down her back like a blazing waterfall, and the luxury dress she wore traced every perfect line of her figure. Branded sunglasses hid her eyes, but nothing could dull the force of her beauty.Smooth skin, sharp features, fiery red lips—up close, she was easily on the same level as Sofina Scheinwald, the famed beauty of Winchester. Different styles, different strengths, but equal in allure.Everyone waiting outside turned to stare, caught in the gravity of her presence.Even Gerhard froze on the spot, stunned.“One smile of hers can tilt a city’s walls;How could a heart remain untaken?In a single glance, a thousand hopes awaken.”“She really lives up to the reputation of the Winter family’s daughter,” he muttered, almost breathless. “Her beauty is insane.”Envy twisted on Beatrix face. She scoffed, “Please. Any rich woman

Chapter: Chapter 481“What is the mission, Father? I will carry it out successfully.” Renata said.“Renata, I heard Sofina somehow became a partner of the Eden Group,” Armin said, voice steady but loaded with implication. “Do you know anything about it?”“Of course,” Renata replied casually, still eating. “We talk all the time. She’s my best friend.”“Good.” Armin set his fork down and leaned in, his eyes sharpening like a blade. “I’m giving you a mission. And listen carefully—this isn’t small. Our entire duchy may depend on you.”Renata stopped eating.Armin continued. “The Eden Group… it carries a power strong enough to make every duke uneasy. Yet not a single duke—nor even the king—has ever admitted the group belongs to them.”“I believe someone is behind the Eden Group’s rise,” Armin said, voice steady but heavy. “No company grows that fast in just two years without a giant pushing from the shadows. A duke at the very least. Maybe even the king himself.”His eyes locked onto Renata, sharp and unblinki

Chapter: Chapter 480Pauline stood frozen in the hallway, mind spinning. Was Alex insane… or did he really just video-call the terrifying Count Oskar?The man whose name alone could silence a crying child?The door suddenly swung open.“What are you doing here?” Alex asked, staring at her—then at the kitchen knife in her hand. “Were you trying to kill me with that?”“Yes, so what!” Pauline snapped. The rebel in her rose fast. Her cheeks went red—shock, anger, and humiliation mixing all at once.“Well?” Alex tilted his head, a mocking sneer on his lips. “Then go on. Try to stab me.”“Shut up!” Pauline barked. There was no way she’d actually stab him—he was a head taller, broader, unshakably calm. “I’m going to the kitchen.”Alex raised an eyebrow. “Kitchen’s on the first floor.”“There’s another kitchen on the second floor, you idiot.” She shoved past him.“There isn’t,” Alex muttered behind her. “But whatever.” He slammed the door hard enough to rattle the frame.Pauline stomped down the stairs.

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
