Back then, he had been summoned to an isekai world along with his entire class to defeat the Demon King.
Through a series of events, he figured out that the royal family were the real villains. Unfortunately, as nothing more than an ordinary side character, he died at the royal family's hands before he could warn anyone.
After his death, he reappeared in his classroom along with all of his classmates.
His classmates had died at different times and failed to save the world, but in the end, every one of them had come back.
That was when Sora's first anomaly surfaced.
Unlike the others, he hadn't lost the Blessing the Goddess had given them before sending them to the isekai world.
Everyone else had lost everything. The powers they'd gained in the magical world, the special professions they'd gotten from their awakenings, and the Blessings the Goddess had given them before they left for that world.
Sora had only lost the first two. The Blessing he'd received was still there.
But before he could even process this, a magic circle appeared beneath his feet once again and summoned him back to the Goddess's White Void.
Just like the first time, Sora was left dazed before a beauty that fully lived up to the name "goddess."
After a while, the Goddess still couldn't find the source of the problem. So she went on with the ritual, gave him a new Blessing, and sent him off to an isekai world to save it.
This world was similar to the first one, but there were no demons here.
Some women were born with mysterious powers, and they were known as witches.
A witch called the Plague Witch was rapidly rotting the world away.
Born here as the only child of a noble family, Sora quickly mastered Breathing Techniques. He walked the path of knighthood so that this time, he could complete the Goddess's mission.
Unfortunately, he crossed paths with the Plague Witch. His will wasn't strong enough, but thanks to his Blessing, he was a good fighter. So the Plague Witch put a mind control spell on him.
In the end, he failed once again.
After the Plague Witch tore down humanity's last great fortress, she killed him, and Sora opened his eyes in high school again.
His classmates, who had only just returned to Earth, immediately asked him where he'd disappeared to and stuff like that.
Before Sora could answer, he was summoned again.
With a kind smile and apologetic eyes, the Goddess sent him to a Murim world this time.
This time, his mission was simpler.
Become the disciple of a Demonic Cultivator who had spent his life doing good deeds, and fulfill the old man's last wish.
Unfortunately, there was one problem. This old man's cultivation technique was basically about tearing the body apart and rebuilding it.
It demanded the strongest will in the world.
The humiliation he'd suffered in the previous world became his fuel. Gritting his teeth, Sora began to endure the torture.
Bones, then muscles, then veins. Spending every day screaming inside a Blood Pool became his daily routine.
In the 50th year, his master died at the age of 823. But Sora kept working to complete the cultivation method.
After twenty more years of torture, his body had been rebuilt down to every last cell.
He was no longer that short boy with curly black hair. He was a tall, handsome man with white hair and pink eyes.
After he came down from the mountain, it didn't take long for people to see him as the Heavenly Demon.
He started a massive war that lasted 30 years and wiped out the Murim Alliance.
He found three disciples to pass on his master's Blood Arts, and he rapidly advanced the world with his knowledge from modern times.
In his 120th year in this world, the Goddess's voice rang in his ears.
This time, he had succeeded.
He returned to Earth once more.
On top of that, even though his power was gone, the Goddess had grown fond of him. As a reward, she granted him the body he had worked so hard to build.
Unfortunately, within seconds, he opened his eyes in the White Void again.
This time, the Goddess was much friendlier with him than before. They even ended up in a relationship.
A new Blessing and a new world.
Once again, the difficulty was at a manageable level.
In this world, every person was a mage, and agricultural technology had developed entirely around magic. For some unknown reason, the crops had started to die.
While Sora worked on the problem and rewrote agricultural technology from scratch, he also learned magic with the edge his new Blessing gave him.
In his 46th year, he built the eighth Circle and became the youngest Magic Emperor in the country's history.
By then, the world's hunger problem was on the verge of being solved.
Unfortunately, in the final stretch, he died because of an unexpected betrayal.
The slaves he had fought to free stabbed him in the back.
On his fifth summoning, he and the Goddess took the final step.
After that, he was sent to a modern world where vampires existed, with the bloodline of a Progenitor Vampire.
Unfortunately, the magic circle that summoned him had been set up inside a pool of Holy Water.
Holy Water couldn't kill a Progenitor Vampire, but it left him helpless.
The Church's High Priest saw that instead of a savior, the Goddess had sent them a vampire far tougher than ordinary ones. Thrilled, he locked Sora up in a laboratory.
For sixty-one years, Sora and his immortal body were tortured by inquisitors who hated vampires.
His mouth and his eyes stayed covered every single second of that time. As he kept sinking deeper into the darkness, second after second, the only ray of hope left in his mind was the one who had sent him here. Moira, the Goddess of Absolute Karma.
He kept begging her to cancel his summoning, but no answer ever came.
After 61 years of torture, he was finally sent back to Earth and pulled into the White Void. He asked Moira why she hadn't saved him.
Moira didn't care at all about the years of torture he'd been through. She told him to show her some respect, and the fight between them escalated. In the end, Sora saw an expression on her face that he still hadn't been able to forget, even after 20 years.
Moira looked at him with disgust and contempt and said these words to him.
"Don't worry, you lowly mortal. This is the last time you'll ever see my flawless body anyway. I've finally untangled this karmic mess, and I won't have to put up with your disgusting existence anymore. The world you're going to this time will be the last world you ever go to."
And with that, all the hatred that had built up inside him exploded.
Remembering the humanity he had tried to save time and time again, only to be betrayed, he joined this world's main villain, the Elf King. He became the biggest reason for humanity's downfall.
Remembering the slaves he had worked so hard to save, the same slaves he had died at the hands of, he spread the concept of slavery to every race. In this world, it had only ever been used on elves.
Remembering the Goddess he had endured countless pains to please, he destroyed every church in the world. As if that weren't enough, he even killed the World Will, which was revered as a divine being, the god of spirits.
Twenty years of pure revenge had calmed him down a little.
What's more, for some people, this revenge had been a great kindness.
Sipping his red wine, he looked down at the celebration square once more and smiled.
He was going to live in this world forever anyway. The moment he arrived here, he had lost his identity as a human and gained a new one as a spirit.
At the end of the night, the Elf King would make a big announcement to everyone and arrange a marriage between his daughter and Sora.
As a Progenitor Vampire, all that awaited him now was an eternal life full of happiness.
Or so he thought, until the light of the magic circle beneath his feet caught his eye.
