"Father, this gift of yours is too expensive for me to accept." In the Temple of Gods, the protagonist today is not the god of gods, but his beloved daughter Anastasia.

Today is not only the day of her birth, but also the day she was chosen as the new goddess of Styx, a big day for her and the gods.

The god of gods gave his brother's resurrection gem to his daughter, hoping that she would live forever and perhaps one day, become the leader of the gods.

- A strange man on the banks of the River Styx

Anastasia, who had just arrived at the River Styx, had not had time to go to Hades when she picked up a handsome man on the shore. Looking at the injuries on the man's body and the body that had stopped breathing and heartbeat, Anastasia realized that this was a mortal.

But mortals can only enter the River Styx in the form of an undead, but he seems to die by the River Styx.

The man's face was even more handsome than many of the gods, and Anastasia was fascinated by him, but now she had to go to Hades.

In order to prevent Charon, the goddess of Ferry, from discovering his body and throwing it out of the River Styx, Anastasia had to stick a golden rose in the ground with the golden roses her mother gave her, hiding him in an inconspicuous place with the thorns of the rose bushes.

"You're finally here." The Immortal gave Anastasia the bracelet in a gray and black box in his hand, "A gift from your father and me, set the Resurrection Gem on it. ”

Listening to the words of the Hades, Anastasia put the gem into the groove, and the moment the gem merged with the bracelet, the dim Hades was full of light, but the light did not fade for long, but a lot of light could still be seen.

Anastasia, who was not on his mind at all, hurried back to the banks of the River Styx to find the dead man's body after obtaining permission from the Immortal King.

But by chance, he met Charon, who was coming to see off the dead, and the bearded Watari was wearing a shabby robe all the year round, and his head was covered tightly, and Anastasia quickly blocked the corpse when he saw him.

Charon noticed the strangeness and stretched out his head to look, but because Anastasia's mother's golden rose branch blocked his vision, he saw that there was nothing behind Anastasia from his eyes, "Prepare quickly, Hermes will send the deceased here in a moment, if you delay any longer, you will make a mistake." ”

"Okay, I know......" Although she answered like this, in fact, what she really thought in her heart was that her father put her in the place of the River Styx, in fact, it was to protect her in disguise, after all, there was a complete process here.

The God of Guidance brought the souls to the River Styx, and the God of Crossing sent them across the river to the Three Judges of the Realm of Truth and the Underworld.

Life here felt like it had nothing to do with her, but it wasn't long before Anastasia found a pleasure in having money ready at all times, which helped many souls who had no money to give to Watari after death because they didn't have relatives to put a coin in their mouths, which also greatly increased Watarami's workload, for which Watari also went to Hades to sue a lot.

The second pleasure is to wait in the River Styx for the soul of the man she has protected the body, he died here, and the soul will definitely appear here, but it will take a little time, Anastasia is convinced of this.

Thankfully, she was right this time.

Soon after, the man's soul was successfully taken to the Styx by the god of guidance, but he was unable to cross the river because he had no silver coins, but this was exactly what Anastasia wanted.

The man wandering around the River Styx was attracted to Anastasia by her dazzling blonde hair when he first saw her, and in the underworld, things that were too dazzling would be hated, because Hades loved black, and everything here seemed to be dark.

Seeing a blooming golden rose pinned to Anastasia's head, the man felt that the rose was familiar, and it was as if he had been in a dream for a long time, and it was only recently that he accepted the fact that he was dead.

He remembered that he had come here in search of a score to sing the hymn, but he didn't know why he had died here all of a sudden.

Since there were no silver coins enough to pay Watari to carry him across the river, the man had to wait here for a year, and after a year, Watari would take him across the river for free.

During this time, the man and Anastasia became friends. From his mouth, Anastasia learned about a world he had never heard of, a world created by the creator god for the beasts and humans.

- unwilling to resurrect him

"Thea, you haven't told me yet, you never leave this bracelet, what is it for?" At this time, he did not know that on the top of the high mountain, the Hades King, dressed in a black veil and hidden in the darkness, was watching them.

Anastasia stretched out his hand and said, "This is a gift from the god of the gods and the king of Hades to resurrect the dead." At first, Anastasia didn't have the idea of resurrecting a man, not at all, because people always die, and she hoped that this man's soul would always accompany her, and as long as she was there, his soul would not die.

Hearing the magic of this bracelet, the man's heart was moved, "That...... Can you use it to resurrect me? ”

The Hades on the high mountain frowned, staring angrily at the ant-like man who was at the foot of the mountain.

"First year, I'm sorry I can't resurrect you, this bracelet means a lot to me, if you are resurrected and known by your father and the king of Hades, you will suffer great pain, and this pain is not something that a mortal can bear."

Anastasia took off her sleeves to cover the dangling bracelet on her wrist, and Yuan Nian on the side stood up and looked at her with a displeased face, with anger in her eyes, "But I'm very unhappy to be trapped here, I can't cross the river!" ”

His words were to blame Anastasia for not providing him with silver coins, obviously she would be very generous to other souls, but now......

Anastasia, who was sitting on the golden rose bush, looked at Yuan Nian in disbelief, her eyes full of disappointment, "With me...... Aren't you happy? ”

"Not happy! I'm not happy! In a fit of rage, the man turned away, and Anastasia hadn't found him around the River Styx since.

With the departure of the first year, the Hades also left the mountain with a gloomy face, and when he came to the Temple of the Gods, he was dressed in black and did not fit in with the golden and brilliant environment, "Anastasia was heartbroken by the soul of a mortal, she shouldn't have bothered you for such a trivial matter, but she is your daughter after all." "Half of his own daughter, after all, Anastasia's father, the high god of the gods, is his younger brother.

Upon hearing the news, the god of the gods was furious and found the man who dared to deceive his daughter, and finally handed it over to the Hades.

- A tear of the goddess, a scoop of water in the river Styx

Yuan Nian, who was taken to Hades, knew that he might be in trouble, and he waited for a familiar figure to come to his rescue, and indeed, Anastasia finally begged Hades to spare Yuan Nian because of his affection for Yuan Nian, but the mortals who deceived the gods could not be forgiven.

In desperation, Anastasia can only find the queen of the underworld and beg her to save her beloved, believing that the gentle and generous goddess who has helped many gods will understand her feelings.

In the end, Yuan Nian was released by the Hades King under the intercession of the Hades and returned to Anastasia's side, but he was not very grateful to the goddess who rescued him from the Hades, and treated Anastasia more and more coldly.

One day, Anastasia, who was in a bad mood, went for a walk by the River Styx, and she saw that the golden rose that hid the corpse of the first year was withering, and at that moment she knew that the first year was really unhappy here, and seeing that her beloved was getting sadter and sadter, Anastasia risked being punished by her father to find the first year and resurrected him without permission.

The first year of gratitude for this was finally sent out of the underworld by Anastasia, and it was also from the day he left, Anastasia became more and more sad and sad, her tears turned into the water of the River Styx, every time she cried, the river of the River Styx would rise a little, which was very dangerous for the souls who wanted to cross the river, and finally the god king found by the god of the gods, the god of the gods in desperation could only promise her daughter, and she had three days to go to the mortal world to see the first year every summer.

Although there is not much time, it is much better than missing it every day, and Anastasia agreed.

——

In the summer of the first year, Anastasia was in a state of excitement and found that the man he loved had already married another woman, and Anastasia decided to leave and protect the River Styx from now on.

But when she left, the first year found her, and grabbed Anastasia's hand and said that he was just playing on his current wife, and he only realized that he really loved her after leaving the River Styx, "I always thought that I was a strong person, and anyone could do without it, but after I left, I found that without you, my lost life is like a dry well and lifeless." ”

Once again, Anastasia believed him.

On a midsummer night, the young and beautiful goddess unguards her most precious bracelet and wakes up to find that it is impossible to find the first year.

But she still didn't give up, and every summer she went down to the mortal world with a heart of revenge to find him, but what Anastasia didn't expect was that because she agreed to her father's request, she was temporarily withdrawn from her divine power, she was so fragile in the mortal world, and she almost died in the turbulent river for the first time, and was saved by the man she swore to curse in the name of God, and her heart was shaken again. The second time, she almost died at the hands of something that the locals had become a low-class monster, and was saved by him who arrived in time...... The first time, they already owed each other, and the second time, she owed him.

Since then, Anastasia has never descended to the mortal world, and the peaceful days have passed for a long time, and the man who was once loved by God has also had his own children and his own offspring, but the bracelet he worked so hard to get was robbed of the gem on it by a woman who had never seen it, but Yuan Nian was already familiar with the key to the role of the bracelet of death, and he passed the bracelet as a family heirloom from generation to generation, and the descendants of the Yuan family were also looking for the red gem that their ancestors left in the few words and diaries, Until later...... The whereabouts of the diary are unknown, and the descendants of the Yuan clan have gradually forgotten this true story.
