"Shit! He died again."
A boy threw his sword the moment he landed on the ground. He used his levitating magic to pick up a dead body and carry it in his arms.
"My tan skin is now even darker than yours." he commented as he compared his dark complexion to the pale, lifeless body on his arms. He looked at a corpse as if it was not new for him to see that person lifeless, but it doesn’t mean it’s not painful to see his brother like this.
"It’s not a good time to die, Kuya."
The boy softly talked to the lifeless body as he looked up at the blue sky. His long silver-blond hair swayed with the wind as he flew through the sky, ascending slowly without end.
"The weather is too good for us to die."
It was a bright and sunny morning. White, fluffy clouds drifted across the sky, and so did his mind.
The boy’s purple eyes have turned darker the more he stares at his dead brother’s pink hair, stained with blood. He had been trying to make his brother’s life better in his every regression, but the more he tried, the earlier his brother died.
Originally, his brother died at fifty, but now in his ninetieth try, his brother died too early, at fifteen years old. It made him wonder if his power to return in time would really help his brother to experience a good and peaceful life, which his brother had never experienced. Or if it was just a power to mess everything up and make his brother’s life miserable.
“What did I miss this time? What more should I do?”
The boy grumbled while he gripped tighter on his brother’s body. It’s tiring, especially because he keeps returning back in time nineteen times in less than a century. He fought a lot of higher beings that humans could never surpass, but he somewhat did.
For his brother, he could face dragons, gods, beasts, and any kind of dangerous being. He becomes stronger and greater than any human. But why does he keep failing?
The boy just let out a sigh before he sped up, ascending to the sky, only focusing on his direction toward the sun.
“Let’s die again and try for the twentieth time. I will never give up.”

The cat released a long sigh and tapped Ernesto's chest. The pain disappeared and his arms and legs were back to normal in just the blink of an eye, like nothing had happened.

"Sorry, I shouldn't pick a fight with you." The cat surprisingly apologized, and Sir Enteng froze when he heard it. [What's going on? Why is a god apologizing to a human child?]

Ernesto just lay there, remembering why they were fighting in the first place, as he watched the cat sincerely apologize while standing on his chest.

Minor deity Puti knows Ernesto's struggles because he usually joins with the goddess Iyyah in watching over the child. And he literally knows why the child is frustrated, but he can not entirely sympathize. The cat jumped over the shoulder of the bulky guy and signaled him to walk forward. "Get up there, I'll tour you around."

Ernesto stares at the sky for a moment, then shakes his head.
