Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 622

Chapter 622: Resentment

The man turned his head and looked at the Grim Reaper.

"There are always countless ’if’. However, ’if’ is always different from what actually happened. We can’t know what could’ve happened, but we know the truth present before us.

"The man was a bandit leader. He stole, he killed, and enjoyed those things. Those were his choices. And so, he must receive the result of his choices," the man said.

"It was a good Judgment," the Grim Reaper nodded.

The man’s eyes lit. He looked towards the Grim Reaper happily, "So I passed the test?"

He believed he had passed. The fact that he would no longer be going to hell brought immense relief to him.

"No," the Grim Reaper shook his head. "You’ve failed." freewёbnoνel.com

"What?!" the man shouted, then realizing his actions, spoke nicely, "W-was there a problem with my Judgment? You said it was a good Judgment."

"It was the perfect Judgment. That is why you failed."

The man was about to shout when he noticed the Grim Reaper was staring in another direction. He followed the Grim Reaper’s gaze, and noticed a mirror.

"Huh?"

The face of the bandit leader was reflected in the mirror.

He was sitting on the bed and looking at the man with a confused gaze.

Immediately, memories began to pour into the man’s head. They were the memories of the bandit leader— no, himself.

They showed how he had enjoyed pillaging. How he would joke to his underlings about finding good women. How his heart would always jump from excitement upon seeing the money they would gather.

The disgusting bandit leader he had been seeing, and judged, was himself.

"You fucking bastard!" the man shouted. "What is the meaning of this..."

Before the man could shout, strength left his body and he fell to the bed. He began to lose consciousness.

"Worry not. You are only going to dream, O Young One."

"What am I going to dream about?" the man eked out with all of his strength.

"All the punishments you wanted to be given to the criminal would be now experienced by you. After those punishments end, your existence would be erased."

The man wanted to shout.

How could the Grim Reaper trick him into something like this? How could they, the ones who should be impartial judges, use underhanded trickery like this?

After the man lost consciousness, the Grim Reaper entered his dream again. He watched over his punishments for decades, and at the end, when the punishments ended, he erased the man’s existence as he had foretold.

During this whole time, Nameless Death had been watching everything.

He was able to enter the man’s dream along with the Grim Reaper.

After the man’s body disappeared, the Grim Reaper went still again. Then, days later, he moved, and opened the door.

Once again, a man, different from before, was outside.
