Everyone, except one is now conscious. They all look at he unconcious boy, concerned about what is happening with him.

"Is it normal to take this long?" Taeyong asks the girls, his eyes focused on the unconscious Jungwoo.

"Yes," They say, still keeping an eye on Jungwoo.

They start to hear Jungwoo groaning and screaming in pain. His loud voice echoing in the room as the boys were only getting more concerned.

"Jungwoo!" Yuta quickly makes his way towards him but was suddenly pushed back by an invisible barrier.

"It's better not to go near him. The God who has chosen Jungwoo is really strong, it's understandable." Joy says, snapping her fingers as the barrier around Jungwoo appears.

The boys getting more worried when Jungwoo's painful screams only seems to get louder.

"Are you sure that it's normal? It's been 2 hours since we all passed our trials." Jisung asks, hugging his knees while sitting down.

"Trials have no specific time limit. It can either last minutes or days. The longest trial we know is a whole week." Lisa says, crossing her arms.

"So his trial can last a week?" Johnny asks to which the girls nod.

Yuta looks over Jungwoo. The younger looked pale and his veins were showing. He was in pain, yet they couldn't do anything about helping him.

Stray Kids watching the boy in worry as well. Everyone in their group has woken up but Stray Kids have gone through the worst trials.

Some of which were even screaming in pain as well during their trials.

"Which God is it then?" Minho asks and Seulgi points at the ceiling.

Everyone looks up and saw a painting of a man with the universe on his back.

"Primordial God of the Universe."

▔▔▔▔
「 JUNGWOO 」

He tries to catch his breath. His knees pressed against the floor as he feels the blood dripping from his head.

Cuts on his body while his shirt has holes. He looks at the man in front of him who looked unharmed of what he has done.

"You can't fight me, I'm more powerful than you." He says as Jungwoo stands up from his spot.

His legs were wobbly and he was in pain. The man starts to walk towards him.

The man grabs his collar and made Jungwoo look at him. The younger glaring at the God who he has been fighting for 3 whole hours now.

"To surrender is to have power. You surrendered your human self to have great power you can't control." He says,

Jungwoo grabs his wrist before kicking him. Jungwoo. falls to the ground and immediately gets up, taking steps backward

"No, I surrendered my humanity for her." Jungwoo says, holding his injured arm.

"Liar. You didn't do it for her, you did it because of her." He says, appearing in front Jungwoo and pins him against the barrier.

"So what?" Jungwoo blankly stares at him. The God's eyes widen when Jungwoo's injuries start to heal until the dried blood was left on his skin.

He let's go Jungwoo, letting the boy fall to the ground.

Jungwoo starts check his body, noticing his injuries has disappeared, including his pain as well.

"Why?" The God asks,

"Y/n also wants to go back to normal but she couldn't because the commandments have to find things. That way, they can all turn back to human." Jungwoo says,

The God stares at Jungwoo, knowing that the younger has yet to realize what the commandments are after.

He sighs, debating whether he should give his power to him, fully aware that he'll be sharing his power with a soon-to-be-demon.

"You're fully aware that I am the primordial God of the universe and one of the most powerful." He pauses,

"If my power came in contact with you, it might get a tad too difficult." He starts to think the consequences as the younger continues to blankly stare at him.

"To lie is to manipulate and to hide, remember that." He says, reaching his hand out to Jungwoo.

Jungwoo reaches his hand out, his hand holding the God's hand.

"You better not create a ruckus, boy or else, I will kill you myself."

「 end 」

Jungwoo gasps, regaining his consciousness back.

He tries to catch his breath, looking around to see everyone with concerned faces.

He starts to look confused for why they are looking at him like that.

Jungwoo shrugs and slowly stands up, the feeling of pain was still there. He stares at his hand, feeling his demonic powers being sealed.

He then looks at the boys.

"Why are you all staring at me like that?" He asks and they all smiled, shaking their heads, knowing that Jungwoo is alive and okay.

"We're just glad you're okay." Taeyong says and Jungwoo starts to see black smoke behind one of the sisters, Irene to be specific.

Jungwoo shakes his head, smiling softly as well.

"Well, that's nice. I'll be going to bed, I've experienced way too much pain today. Goodnight." Jungwoo leaves the room.

"Jungwoo!" He stopped his tracks when he heard Yuta calling his name. He turns around, noticing Yuta a few stairs below him.

"Are you okay? You look really pale during your trial and you look really stressed. Are you really okay?" He asks,

Jungwoo looks away from the older, remembering the pain he went through. Jungwoo looks turns around before around again.

"You don't have to worry about me, Hyung. I just need rest after all."

▔▔▔
Jungwoo enters his room and as soon as he neters his room, he falls to the floor and start to breathe heavily. 

Jungwoo places his hand on his chest, trying to calm himself down from the immense pain he was suddenly feeling.

He takes a deep breath, the pain slowly going away as he redeems himself after a few more minutes.

He leans his head back on the door. He starts to feel warm and warmer, resulting to him sweating and soon heard a sound.

The sound was similar to a bird's wings when they have started to fly away.

He eyed his window and saw a raven standing on the sill. He got up to his feet and slowly makes his way to the bird.

The pain was still there and every time he takes a step, it was as if he was thumped with a stool.

He opens the window wider before reaching his hand out. The raven jumps onto the back of his hand.

Jungwoo notices the small bottle on tied around it's feet. He gently takes it from the raven before seeing the sticker on the bottle.

"This will disappear the pain from the trial. - y/n."

He removes the cork and drinks the liquid inside the bottle. 

Theimmense pain has now went away and he could move properly now. He gazed upon the beautiful raven.

He then reaches his hand out, letting the raven fly away after it's delivery for him.

"Keeping it a secret must be hard, huh?" He turned around, seeing one the boys there. 

"It is indeed hard to keep this secret but I like tobelieve I can manage." Jungwoo smiles,

The boy turns around, sighing when Jungwoo looked away from him. The boy looks out of the window with a soft smile.

The other has exited hisroom, going back to his own but not expect to be greetedby someone else.

She was sitting on his bed, raven on her hand and another raven on her shoulder.

She notices his presence and smiles. Her smile was full of nothing but mischief. 

"Can we talk, Lee Minho?"
