My Soul card is a Reaper

"So, let me get this straight. You fell in love with the girl living downstairs and pursuing her. However, she still hasn't reciprocated your feelings. So, I need to wait until you marry, and that too with the uncertainty of whether she too follows me to Heaven as my servant or not."

Azzy had this look of seriousness as he stared at his servant, who followed him to this realm. "And why do you even think that I agree with your request?" He questioned the servant, standing before him with his head hung down like a guilty party.

Apart from doing house chores, this Aqua Angel isn't good at anything. Since his body constitution doesn't allow him to have any food in the first place, Azzy himself had to cook for himself.

Moreover, elemental angels were treated not so kindly in this world, and without the aqua angel living downstairs with the house owner, he couldn't even shop properly. There's also an issue of him getting a heat stroke if he stays too long in the sun as his kind usually lives underwater.

So far, Azzy only felt like Rynmere was freeloading.

And now, this guy wants him to do more favors for him? Azzy was obviously offended.

Rynmere knew that his lord was displeased. Hence, he could only kneel down and request, "Milord, just give me three days."

Azzy responded with a firm shake of his head, "No, the house owner was a good person. It goes against my principles to steal her servant, Rynmere. I can only leave you behind to resume my journey. All I can do is to talk with the house owner to employ you as her servant, too. Or, if you want, I will talk with Everlasting guild's manager to look for a job for you. You can then take your time to pursue her and live happily here. But, don't worry, I have a method to erase your memories of me. So, you won't remember anything."

"Milord, please don't abandon me," Rynmere panicked at once. He pleaded Azzy, continuing to kneel, "I… I… I will forget her. I pledged my soul to the Lord. I won't take anyone else as my master. Please don't erase my memory. I beg you.."

Azzy inwardly sighed upon feeling the truth in his words. It would be a lie to say that he didn't move by this Nephilim's loyalty.

But then again, all elemental angels are closer to the monsters than angels, despite their appearance. Hence, their loyalty is also similar. Just like how an animal gets attached to its master, all elemental angels that become servants voluntarily are too attached to their master. They can handle separation from their master only if they are confident that their master will return to their side.

In the end, Azzy raised his index finger, "Alright then. I'll give you one day, until the end of tomorrow. Tell your feelings to the girl. If she accepts your love and is willing to follow me to Heaven, I'll buy her from the house owner."

"Thank you, master." Rynmere's eyes lit up instantly. He wants to rush down immediately but remembering that it is late night, he could only try to stay calm.

Soon, Azzy went to sleep. Rynmere also slept in his room's bathroom tub filled with water, as he usually does.

The following morning;

The Aqua Angel slowly opened his eyes and stretched his body. As he got out of the bathroom, he saw purple shards lying on the bed, roughly around hundred in number. Each purple shard is worth about 1000 grace shards.

"What's with this large amount of money?" He wondered before his eyes spotted a scroll lying above them. "Did Master drop me a list to purchase something as he went out?" It wasn't a rare occurrence for him.

But then, something else clicked inside his head, "Master?" A deep frown appeared on his face, and his merfolk ears moved rapidly back and forth, "I can't remember Master's face. What's his name? Why is his face blurry? What's happening to me?"

Upon remembering their conversation last night, he hurriedly opened the scroll and read the letter written by Azzy, under Lux's supervision.

The contents of the letter are simple.

"To my loyal servant, Rynmere of the Aqua Angel tribe, by the time you are reading this letter, I will be long gone. My sole reason for going to Silver City is to pursue my love and it will be hypocritical of me to put a stop to yours for my sake.

To be honest, we haven't been acquainted for a long time and you definitely aren't a great servant to me either, but somehow, I feel responsible for your life. I guess it is your unwavering loyalty that moved me.

I left you 500,000 grace shards over there. Consider it a severance pay for firing you from the servant post or a farewell gift. Henceforth, we are no longer a master and a servant. I release you from your servitude and declare you a free Nephilim.

It is likely that we won't ever meet in the future as I don't leave Heaven, and you aren't allowed to step in there. So, don't hope for it anymore and live your life. I wish you the best of luck in pursuing your love.

Best regards, your friend."

The scroll left Rynmere's hand to fall onto the bed. He stood there like he became a statue for a moment. "No, this cannot happen. I… I… Master abandoned me…"

Meanwhile, Azzy traveled to Planet Xyrian, the world filled with the highest percentage of pure angels race population in the plane of Empyreon.

More than 40% here are pure angels who came down from Heaven and live here, some wanted to be adventurers, some married Nephilims and settled here, and some are criminals in hiding.

Azzy didn't bother to settle down here. He directly went straight to the World Gate's location.

However, this time, since he was alone, he used his Sage abilities, turning himself into a mosquito-sized person as he flew into the world gate, a giant portal that looked as big as a mountain.

The presence of someone who is not a demigod/ascendant at this location is not attention-worthy for the passersby.

Even if none could see him and could only sense his presence, Azzy didn't attract any attention and smoothly disappeared from the plane in a flash.

His surroundings changed instantly.

However, before his sight, his nose experienced the change.

The air wasn't just fresh. It was brimmed with dense natural energy, although different from Gaia's. Just taking a breath, a smile appeared on his face.

"Welcome to Silver City."
