Chapter 312: A Demi-God''s wish is a ''Miracle'' itself.


    ?


    Although SS-rankers don''t physically get exhausted by small everyday matters, the mental burden sure does build up.


    Even though the SS-rankers are referred to as ''Demi-gods'', they still have human emotions, and they even feel stressed at times.


    Moreover, alcohol or any other kind of drug doesn''t even work on SS-rankers, so they can''t get drunk or go high on drugs either, even if they want to.


    Their regeneration ability is off the charts whenpared to that of normal humans.


    The normal entertainment shows that seem interesting and amusing to ordinary people seem very boring and pointless to super-humans like them.


    Their ''Int'' stat is too high, and silly things that entertain ordinary people can''t do the same for them.


    Simply speaking, there are very few ways for people as strong as SS-rankers to relieve their stress.


    Most of the time, they have to bottle up their feelings for a very long time.


    The only reason there aren''t any SS-rankers turning evil is due to the existence of ''Ashtel Rex''.


    In every hundred years, there has been a strong SS-ranker who keeps others in check so that no ''Awakener'' ends up behaving wrongly and bes a ''psycho'' who torments people for entertainment.


    Before Ashtel, it was Nics Arsene who was in charge of this, and the list goes on.


    Even though there are many evil-minded people in this world, there have always been kind- hearted people in every era.


    In simple words, they can''t go crazy, they can''t relieve stress, and they don''t have a way to entertain themselves.


    SS-rankers may appear to be all-powerful people, but they do have their own limitations. Most of them pick up some side hobby or job to keep themselves entertained and busy.


    Raji did the same; she became the principal because she wanted to forget about her past and keep herself focused on work so that she could stop thinking about her boring life.


    SS-rankers are like tactical nukes; most of the small work is taken care of by lower-rank awakeners, and they are only left with high-rank stuff.


    But the thing is, it''s not often that something so devastating appears that you need an SS- ranker to solve it.


    Most of the time, they are just sitting with no work to do, totally empty.


    And that emptiness can have a bad influence on a person''s emotions.


    This is also one of the reasons why the SS-rankers are constantly busy with paper work and other random stuff, but they aren''t able to do what they are actually supposed to do.


    SS-rank dungeons are rare; most of the time, they only appear once every five years or something, and the alliance allocates the responsibility to clear those dungeons equally. In other words, it may take tens of years for your race''s turn toe to get an SS-rank dungeon, and you will have to wait for decades to finally get a chance to do an all-out battle. And all this while, you will just be dealing with ordinary, everyday work like other humans.


    (Imagine a literal demi-god working as a pizza delivery boy... That would be such a weird scenario...)


    ...


    Capital City Astra, Core Area, Croft Mansion.


    A small portal opened in the sky, and Raji flew out of it with an annoyed look on her face.


    Raji has been burdened with a lot of work these days.


    Not only does she have a job as a principal, she also has a lot of responsibilities on her shoulders as an SS-ranker, and now she even has to deal with Fade and Kira''s disappearance case.


    Raji usuallyes home to visit her mother, who''s in aa and is being taken care of by the healers that she hired for a lot of money.


    Raji''s mom actually fell into aa because she overworked herself too much for the sake of their daughters.


    But if it was just as simple as aa, an S-rank healer would have been more than enough to get her back to good health.


    Yet, even after Raji hired S-rank healers quite a lot of times, her mother still hasn''t recovered.


    The healers said, ''They can only save the person who wants to be saved''.


    Apparently, her mother doesn''t want to wake up at all.


    Healers can heal physical or soul-rted injuries, but they can''t heal someone''s ''will'' to live.


    Raji''s mother doesn''t want to ept that her husband has abandoned her, and thus she refuses to wake up and face reality.


    It''s been several years since she fell into aa, and there''s still been no progress.


    ...


    Raji nced at a familiar car parked in the parking area, and a frown appeared on her face. ''Hmm? Link is here too?''


    Raji hasn''t been monitoring the ''Core Area'' of the city as she was focusing on concentrating her mana detection to search for clues about Fade and Kira''s in the outer area of the city.


    Thus, she didn''t know that Link came to visit.


    Raji nced at the sky and thought,


    ''It''s going to be evening soon... Er, don''t tell me Riya invited him for ate-night date... or maybe even ''that''...''


    Raji couldn''t help but hesitate to use her mana detection now.


    She was the one who helped Riya and Link get together; she doesn''t want to disturb their rtionship, and she certainly doesn''t want to peek on them when they are ''busy''.


    ''Ahem... m-maybe I shoulde back some other time...''


    Just when Raji was about to leave, she suddenly saw an unknown bike standing hidden behind Link''s car.


    ''Hmm? Whose car is that? Did they invite someone over... Well, if that''s the case, I can also go


    in...''


    She flew down and opened the door to go inside without hesitation.


    What greeted her was Riya lying down on the couch and nibbling on her favorite candies.


    A man was sitting on the nearby sofa and was talking to Link with a happy look on his face.


    That man was none other than Raji and Riya''s father, Damian.


    When Raji was entered, the three of them also saw her, and the looks on their faces went pale as if they were caught red-handed while doing a bank robbery.


    Riya was the one who was the most bewildered.


    "B-big sis... Uh, weren''t you supposed toe back tomorrow morning?..."


    Raji ignored Riya''s nervous voice and red at Damian with a look of hatred on her face.


    Seeing his face Raji''s anger immediately went through the roof, and a murderous look


    appeared in her eyes.


    "How dare youe here! I told you to never show your face in front of me again-"


    Before Raji could finish saying those words, an extremely beautiful woman with long white hair walked in the living room with snacks and juice in her hand.


    Seeing that woman, Raji''s eyes widened in shock, and she even forgot about her anger.


    "T-this? M-mom? You are a-awake?"


    The woman also noticed Raji at that moment and gave a sweet smile in response while saying,


    "Ah, you are finally back? Wee home, my dear..."


    Hearing those words, Raji couldn''t move. Even though she is an SS-ranker, a literal demi-


    god, she still seems to have lost all her strength at that moment.


    Tears appeared in the eyes of the ''Strongest Frost Mage'' of the human race for the first time in


    ten years.


    At that moment, the warmth of a mother''s smile melted the frozen heart of a Demi-god.


    She mustered her courage and said,


    "Y-yeah.. I am home... Mom..."


    ...


    At the same moment, Capital City.


    People looked at the sky in amazement as pure white clouds appeared in the sky and it started


    to snow all of a sudden.


    That day, pure white snow fell on the whole capital city, as if the sky itself were blessing the


    city or a certain someone.


    There are still a few months before winteres, so the appearance of snow surprised the


    whole capital city.


    All news channels rushed to cover this abnormal yet amazingly beautiful phenomenon. People enjoyed the view of the falling snow with their families; children yed in the snow, and the elderly felt as if they were beingforted by that strange snow. Unlike usual snow, this one seems to carry a hint of fort'' and ''care'' for the people.


    Those who were touched by the snow felt refreshed and relieved.


    Some even said that their stress disappeared after being exposed to that mysterious snow,


    and some even found their old bodies getting a bit younger.


    In the annals of history, these types of events happen when a ''Demi-god''s'' purest and


    greatest wish gets fulfilled.


    The world blesses the people around the Demi-god to show the acknowledgment of the world


    itself.


    It is said that ''only a ''Pure'' and ''untainted'' desire has the power to manifest this type of phenomenon once it gets fulfilled....''


    Maybe, that day, the world was also congratting a certain ''Demi-god'' at thepletion of


    an ''untainted'' wish.


    Even the ''snow'' can provide warmth andfort... How ironic...


    Authors'' notes.


    Yo! It''s your beloved author here!


    Demi-gods are favored by the world itself; anything rted to them can affect the world too...


    Today we finally got to see how a simple desire to see her mother recover forced even the


    world to congratte Raji on itspletion.


    Question of the day.


    Don''t you also think that ''SS-rankers'' are super cool?


    1. Yes


    2. Absolutely yes.
