So Ayna/Gold is given goddess powers (3 wishes) by destiny who wants to test the humans. To protect her from the greedy who want her powers, destiny gives the village a mission to protect her and a box to open if anything happens to her. Ayna grows up in the village extremely protected and then meets Ronan the sun king covered in blood in the woods. She takes him to the village and according to village hospitality traditions he is allowed to stay for 5 days. It is hinted that Ranon knows of Ayna's powers. Ayna becomes frustrated of the village's overprotectiveness and objectification and with some urging (and sex) from Ranon decides to run away with him. They are intercepted by Arthur the blacksmiths son who is infatuated with Ayna and knows she will be used as a tool for bloodshed. Ranon tells him that he does not need Ayna's powers but her 'kidnapping' would help. He also calls Arthur a hypocrite kinda and tells him to go to the king of portes to tell him that the goddess has been kidnapped in order to provoke a war. War happens. Ranon asks for Ayna's proof of love and she tells him her real name, Gold. Creepy destiny(?) possesses her and tells him that he has 3 wishes. His first wish is to marry her. They get married. Ranon's soldiers are wary of Ayna so Ranon decides to use some weather illusion in order to persuade the ppl and incite morale. It works. Akrana unifies to form the Kartazen empire. Ayna becomes pregnant and Ranon worries and tells her that he will kill the child to save her life and if the child killed her he wouldn't be able to love it. After that questionable convo timeskip to them having 2 sons. Eldest (Adil)is a spiteful brat and the younger (Alikeh) is a timid follower. They stone a son of a noble house to death because he mocked them for being dimwits even with the blood of the emperor and a goddess. Overreaction much? And theyre literally children?? How are they this evil already??Ranon wonders why his beloved's body was broken for these imbeciles. His words not mine. Arthur comes to the palace and graffities it (jobless pos)and the 1st prince sees it and begins throwing a tantrum saying it's true that my mother is a bitch if she wasnt a heathen he wouldn't be born a loser. Ronan hears this and beats him to death (oof guess that's the overreaction genes) and hangs Arthur. Ayna becomes possessed by destiny who tells Ranon to either forgive their sons according to Ayna's wishes and let them kill her or kill their sons and incur Anya's wrath. Meanwhile the villagers open the box which kills them all? Ranon's soldiers who were sent to kill the villagers finds the last dying man who says the descendants of their sorcery are both everywhere and nowhere and they will take back their goddess. Ayna has a breakdown. It is alluded that the box is connected to their 3rd son Lucien who Anya sends down in a river in order to protect him from becoming a sacrifice to Avikeh's blessing (rip adil). The empire subjugates the sorcerors who in return decide to leave. The river sends Lucien to them and is saved by a soldier possessed by destiny who tells them to take the baby and establish a nation call Vishtein in the south. Destiny makes a wager with Ranon and tells him after his death for a 1000 years humankind will be punished with poverty, famine, disease, and disasters while his descendants who recieve the blessing will lose everyone they love and die of madness. If Ranon does not become an evil spirit after those years, destiny will tell him how to end the punishment. But he fails and none of his descendants repent they will die in a great flood. Dun dun dun. Ranon bans sorcery. The end.
... Destiny (person) and destiny (metaphorical thingy) needs their asses kicked. EEEEeeeendless possibilities, yet when they're bored they always fall back on the pantheon method of "lets fuck it up for mankind, just to see what happens"
spoiler: mankind can do that on their own just as well, but it's entirely ridiculous when a god lends a helping hand in doing stupid.
Truuee humans do enough shit to fuck themselves over destiny doing too much
Thank you! A lot of people in the comments below are confused about the extras, this is a great summary! I just have one question. When the 3rd son Lucien appears in the river when sorcerers are migrating, the one who takes the baby looks a lot like the 2nd crown prince of Vishtein(even calling him Hernando, which is the name of that prince) and the soldier who saved the baby is identical to the brown haired knight Sir Holston... And finally, Lucien is also the name of the Green haired assistant of Sharteluze (Charterise??? Whatever, the ML) Is this a coincidence?? I even thought for a moment that we came back to the present, but why is Lucien a Baby?? Are these reincarnations?? Bc Lucien assistant looks EXACTLY like Ayna...
Right they look identical??? At first I thought it was them but then the timeline would have to be fucked because they would have to be like a thousand years old so reincarnations is more plausible. Maybe their genes are very strong idk
I had read from spoilers that assistant Lucien from the present is from vishien but hes serfing the ml so he become a traitor. He was in fact the descendant of the 2rd prince that was saved from the river and he play an important role to open some door with his witchs blood and free the curse
I was in elementary when I first read this now I'm in college.... time to start rereading
How many more volumes till the end I'll give it 45 more
Everything really devolved into a shitshow huh it makes sense tho cuz everyone was an ass with no moral compass. The ending was underwhelming because it was so inconclusive it felt like nothing really happened. Glad red head had a happy (?) ending she was the only one who didn't voluntarily get involved with the psychos meh/10 for me
They're so cute and toxic it's giving me whiplash pls they better both survive to a happy ending
(*T^T)
This shit is wild. MC is a total pushover like S tier doormat rp so I got bored and skipped to the updated chapters and he gets with both???? Lmaooo everyone is fucked up I can't makes sense of their logic and they all need therapy and cbt or something
I like this version (?) way more! It has more character and they have more personality than the clichés archetypes. Also this doesn't have a 3rd year uni student dating a high schooler!
