* Cage delivers a message from the God of Death to Alberu. Alberu afterward faints.

* Choi Han and the others arrive at the Man Eating Tree, which appears to be white. Hong answers Choi Han’s question that a masked man came.

* Choi Han repeats what Cale had said to On and Hong before.
* Through the cintamani, Cale and Dark Tiger Alberu speak about their current circumstances.
* They returned to Harris village, where they stayed in a room and spotted a cintamani. Choi Han is informed that Cale is currently a ghost, and Lee Soo Hyuk relays Cale's message to them. After that, Kim Rok Soo takes over Lee Soo Hyuk's position, and Choi Han reports on what they did.

> *“Do not stop the god’s game. Even gods cannot stop fate. People who can win against fate definitely exist.”*
>
>

> *“Hoo hoo. Even a god will not be able to take away what belongs to a hero. We must block it.”*
>
>

> *– Are you sure this is a test? It sounds more like a hunt for the sealed god.*

## Chapter (709-713): Our friend is not here

* Taylor makes a deal with Alberu in exchange for the healing star, but Alberu is reluctant. White Star reveals his face and chats with Alberu in private.
* The mana of Eruhaben and Raon collides with each other. Eruhaben assumed Raon had been brainwashed because the White Star informed him. He later notices Cale's faint presence due to his mana.
* Cale takes out the cintamani from his pocket and lets Dark Tiger Alberu speak with Eruhaben. Eruhaben mistook Alberu and Cale as part of the divine race.
* Mary is shocked to see White Star has the same face as Cale.
* Eruhaben and Cale arrive in Alberu's office with the cintamani. The bookshelves begin to move as Eruhaben follows the Dark Tiger's instructions. The code on the wall was about White Star's deal.
* Cale gives tasks to his allies in order for them to obtain more allies and power.
* Alberu, the Dark Tiger, and Eruhaben meet with Alberu to negotiate a deal. They reveal that White Star was attempting to stab them in the back.
* Alberu accepts White Star's offer, while Dark Tiger Alberu and Cale keep a close eye on the situation.
* Mary is about to jump through the window when Eruhaben bursts the door open. Mary finally speaks with him after Eruhaben relays Cale's message.
* Alberu and White Star said their good byes. Alberu then reveals the hidden cintamani and converses with Alberu, the dark tiger.

> *“You and your dongsaeng who cannot be seen… are you gods?”*
>
>

> *“How dare he steal the hero’s face and try to take the esteemed hero’s achievements as his own……!”*
>
>

> *“Sir Clopeh is someone who does not say any lies about young master Cale-nim.”*
>

## Chapter (714-717): Are you sure that you're a god?

* Inside a typical two-story house, Alberu with the hidden dark elves and White Star with an old woman and middle-aged man negotiate.
* Alberu asks to bring the ignisia from the Alchemists' Bell Tower to the old woman.
* Eruhaben, who was dressed in Arm’s shabby outfit, Mary, and the dark elves appeared at the Alchemist’ Bell Tower secret passage and captured the old woman who is a black mage.
* Toonka descends from the ceiling, Raon is within the darkness, Choi Han attacks White Star with his black Yong, and Toonka then joins in. While battling, Choi Han scoffs at White Star, who uses the idestructible shield. Later, White Star's mask cracked, revealing Cale's face underneath, and he pretends to be sad at his "allies'" action towards him.
* Hannah burst into Alberu's bedroom in Puzzle City City Hall; Jack and Cage were inside. They were bewildered to see a person who has Cale's face appear in the orb with Choi Han pointing his sword and Toonka attacking him. Later, they all see the real Cale at the corner of the screen, crounching with an orb in his hand.
* The White Star, who is the sealed god, made eye contact with Cale at that moment and was enraged at the cintamani. His final words were that he wasted his time before the feed in Puzzle City was cut off.
* Choi Han and Toonka instantly charge towards the sealed god, but the sealed god uses his ancient powers and dodges their attacks.
* The sealed god reveals that he is the first god who was originally a hunter. The cintamani's screen turns completely dark and the God of Death's voice is heard. The orb then cracks and lets out a black smoke that surrounds Cale and becomes visible to everyone. The sealed god explains how he became a god, and Cale orders Choi Han and Toonka to grab him.
* Raon and the sealed god's powers collided. After the explosion, the sealed god charges toward Choi Han, since his attribute was despair and he is a single-lifer. Cale realizes this and uses the indestructible shield to Choi Han.

> *“There is no way the young master-nim would speak like that! He’d happily hand over the hero position if someone else said that they wanted it!”*
>
>

> *“Who cares what you have done? No matter what you do, it doesn’t work against me.”*
>
>

> *“We need to hurry up and get out of here. Everybody will be waiting for us outside. Isn’t it suffocating in here?”*
>

## Chapter (718-724): The method to enduring memories

* Cale's shield was engulfed by the sealed god's aura, but the shield reappeared again, looking sturdier. Raon, Eruhaben, and Mary also joins in but they were unsuccessful in attacking the sealed god.
* A stiff mechanical voice coming from the sky announced that an error was detected. The sealed god wields his sycthe and attacks in all directions. In the end, they disappeared and took the original test.
* Cale's illusion is based on sadness and was in Lee Soo Hyuk and Choi Jung Soo's funerals, but he quickly passed the test, and so he's taking the sloth test next.
* Alberu wakes up and heads toward the temple. The orb is now split into six pieces, symbolizing Cale and the others, and then it glows in blue and yellow afterwards.
* Cale's sloth was back in his high school days as a freshman. It was one of his quiet days, but he couldn't keep anyone close to him. He visits the Raon Library and meets Choi Jung Gun, a senior and member of the bookclub.
* Choi Jung Gun was writing a fantasy novel, but it was more like a guide book. Cale became certain that he was the author of "The Birth of a Hero" and decides to join the book club.
* Toonka follows the original plan and gives up the test. He tells Alberu that time flows differently in the temple, and one piece of the orb turns green.
* Clopeh is the first person to reach the failure test. When Cale joins the book club and greets Choi Jung Gun, he sees Choi Han, Rosalyn, and Lock's names in Choi Jung Gun's notebook.
* Choi Jung Gun invites Cale to a sword art event and movie production. Meanwhile, Rosalyn slaps herself, who was around 10 years old, as she almost forgot that she was in an illusion.
* In Choi Han's failure test, he repeatedly tries to save the Harris village from Arm. Clopeh overcomes the test by accepting his failure, but he takes the test again knowing that Cale's friends would try to overcome their failure.
* Mary is the first to enter the purple orb. Meantime, outside the temple, Raon feels Cale's presence in the piece that is colored yellow.
* Cale is greeted by the guidance counselor at the orphanage and goes to his room to read his notes, which have his family, allies, and location names.
* Cale and Choi Jung Gun meet up to go to the sword art event when Cale suddenly says, "Nelan Barrow."

> *“Was I the only one who came out?! I shouldn’t have come out either!”*
>
>

> *Even if her reality right now was filled with war and battles, that was where the future she wanted to grasp and the people who were precious to her, the people she wanted to protect, were located.*
>
>

> *Clopeh wanted to remain by Cale’s side to know the path that Cale walks and record it all.*
>

## Chapter (725-730): Must not be sane

* Choi Jung Gun moves in front of Cale with his hand stopped in front of his neck as a half-transparent barrier appears. Cale explains that White Star, as well as Roan and Puzzle City, appeared in his dream.
* Choi Jung Gun thinks that White Star not only influences his life but also his memories and his dreams. Cale is relieved that Choi Jung Gun got it wrong on his own.
* Choi Jung Gun says that he is a soul who may one day become a god. He tells Cale about God's retirement, him making a deal with the God of Death, and that there is a hunter watching Cale and that he intends to kill him.
* Choi Jung Gun reveals that hunters can see if the person is a tribulator or not if they kill the person, and this is known as the "Hunter's Eye."
* Cale hears Choi Jung Soo's voice at the event, but turns his attention to Jung Yi-Rang and realizes he is a hunter because of Choi Jung Gun's smile. They then observe the Choi family as they exhibit their sword art. They spot Jung Yi-Rang watching the stage.
* Cale got into Choi Jung Gun's sports car and drove to the filming site after it was over. Cale is aware that Jung Yi-Rang and the counselor are following them. Choi Jung Gun apologizes to Cale, saying he would get hurt, then they collided into a truck. However, Cale didn’t get hurt since the Indestructible Shield protected him.
* Choi Jung Gun is surprised, then goes emotionless as he slices through the car, which erupts in flames and Cale's body flunks out. That power was the same as Lee Soo Hyuk’s ability to slash through anything.
* While Jung Yi-Rang and Choi Jung Gun fight, Cale is attacked by Park So Jin, the counselor, and she loses one of her arms as a result of Choi Jung Gun's arrival.
* Cale and Jung Yi-Rang are in a battle. A drip of blood escapes Cale's mouth as stone spears surround Jung Yi-Rang and lock him inside a stone prison.
* Choi Jung Gun slashes Jung Yi-hand Rang's and inquires about their patriarch's whereabouts, but Jung Yi-Rang destroys the stone prison and kills Park So Jin, who was shouting to kill her and holding her heart in a red aura. Jung Yi-Rang fled into the red wall before Choi Jung Gun could reach him. Cale then mentions the ancient powers while smiling at Choi Jung Gun.
* Outside the temple, putting the yellow piece aside, Cage asks why everyone has come to a halt at purple. Alberu bit his lower lip and remained silent.
* Raon tells Eruhaben that he senses Cale's powers in the yellow piece, and Eruhaben replies that he doesn't feel anything, which On and Hong also agreed to.
* As the sounds of sirens and a police car approach, Choi Jung Gun pulls out an expensive-looking teleportation magic scroll and disappeared.
* Cale observes Lee Soo Hyuk at the filming site and decides to move on to the next illusion. His feet were slowly cracking and his surroundings were covered in yellow. Cale reveals that he is Kim Rok Soo, but also Cale Henituse, and Choi Jung Gun immediately says to find the Red Blood family.
* A mechanical voice says that Cale's mind had so many worst failures that it was unable to choose one failure as the worst. The failure test was destroyed. However, Cale's next test, indignity, has been increased to twice the normal level.

> *‘We’ll just need to have a nice refreshing fight if the conversation doesn’t go well.’*
>
>

> *“How disrespectful.” “I’m sorry. But it seemed as if it was not something I need to feel sorry for?”*
>
>

> *“There is a Hunter. A Hunter is by your side.”*
>
