The King of the Underworld is Tired – Complete

Mortal time passes really quickly.

The same is true for the gods who live forever. Before you know it, you will find yourself seeing the high priests of the temples that serve you change several times, or new nations emerge.

After the Trojan War, the age of heroes gradually came to an end.

Mythical monsters were no longer visible, and the gods also felt no need to foster heroes…

The decisive moment was Achilles.

A story of human struggle to survive in the midst of war and monsters, with the hero Achilles as the main character.

“Most of the heroes who went to war for honor and glory never returned.”

“Come to think of it, King Agamemnon of Mycenae also did not return. Could it be that he is being eaten by a monster somewhere…”

“Wouldn’t it be better to focus on your family and country rather than chasing after fleeting dreams?”

Before participating in the Trojan War, heroes went to the battlefield shouting for honor and glory… but then realized reality.

The countless soldiers who were unable to return to their families, and those who returned speak of the horrors of war.

And on top of all this, there’s the story of Achilles stranded on Monster Island.

Those who recalled the age of heroes and pursued the values ​​of honor and glory have come to realize the reality.

Those who went out to find monsters disappeared, and the power of the many became more important than the prowess of the individual.

Achilles, who was created under the leadership of Patroclus, gained much recognition, and the name Achilles soon came to be compared to Hercules.

Of course, if we’re talking about actual dancing, it’s far behind Hercules…

“Mom! I want to be active on the battlefield like Achilles!”

“You too. You’re caught up in that heroic tale again.”

“But it’s fun! More so than stories about Hercules or Perseus!”

“Then you see that Achilles realized that life is more important than honor and glory. Come in and have some food.”

There are aspects of Achilles’ heroism that have been exaggerated and expanded upon over time.

The giant wolves and snakes that came from Monster Island were created as descendants of Typhon, and the desperate struggles of Achilles and Patroclus also became an interesting story.

Their names were on everyone’s lips as they taught many people lessons about life.

“Achilles… hehe.”

So much so that a faint smile appeared on the lips of the goddess Thetis as she recalled her son who had lived a mortal life and was heading to the underworld.

Long ago, the goddess Thetis came to her children and offered them immortality…

Achilles, who had gone through many trials and tribulations, refused.

“Why? Why do you refuse? I can convince Zeus to grant you immortality…”

“I know, Mother. That’s why Father also received immortality.”

“Then why… is this the way for our family to be happy forever…!”

“If I were granted immortal life and become a god, my name would be a legend. But I want to work for future generations.”

Achilles saw his mother.

Goddess. The celestial being that seemed so high and mighty seemed as if it could be touched.

Of course, it is not enough to reach the great goddess of the sea. But it is not a tree that a god of lower rank cannot climb.

If you follow your loving mother’s will, you will definitely be happy.

My name will gradually spread far and wide, becoming a legend and a myth. But…

“I want to remain human. I want to be buried in the ground, go to the land of Pluto, and remain in the memories and history of the people.”

“iced coffee…”

“That is something that cannot be achieved by becoming immortal. Please understand my intentions.”

Indeed, Achilles’ words came true.

As time passed and Achilles grew old and was buried in the ground, he was praised as a real hero and a master of martial arts.

* * *

As time passed and human abilities developed, belief in gods also weakened considerably.

Now that they have come to understand all natural phenomena with their own science, there are fewer people who truly believe that we are an omnipotent God than there used to be.

Zeus’ current policy is to intervene in the underworld through dreams or weak protection, rather than directly interfering with humans.

Perhaps it is because there are not many descendants of the gods who have passed down to this day, so they are not very interested. They live well without gods…

Monsters have now either gone extinct or have retreated into deep caves or the ocean, completely invisible to humans.

Humans who, one by one, are coming to understand the realm ruled by the Olympian gods in their own ways.

Medicine, sky, earth, fire… Now, many people rely on the knowledge they have accumulated so far rather than praying to God.

however…

“Pluto, god of wealth! Please take pity on me…”

“There must be death for there to be life. Lord Hades. Thank you so much for giving us our daily bread today.”

“If you believe in Hades, you can go to Elysion when you die. Hades…”

“Ah. I don’t believe it! I’m a Buddhist.”

Why has my faith grown so much?

It has been a long time since those who serve me have outnumbered those who believe in Zeus, the king of the gods.

Unlike the heavens and other fields that have become somewhat understandable as technology has developed, is it because no one understands the afterlife?

Or is it because we have entered an era where people pursue material gain rather than fame, and my status as the god of wealth has risen?

Long ago, on the site of Troy, a nation was created that worshipped the Olympian gods.

Based on the time when the nation that conquered the surrounding area and formed an empire was created… mortals divided the era into BC and AD.

Was it the year the first emperor of the empire was born? I remember it because I was a fairly zealous believer. I think they worked hard to build some kind of grand temple or something.

Anyway, since the emperor of the empire was my believer, my faith remained even after the empire fell.

First, there were times when a prophet who led people by bestowing mercy appeared and was held up as my incarnation.

In front of the judge of a certain country, there was a statue of me sitting on a throne and looking down.

A little below stood a row of statues of the goddess Dike, the goddess of justice, and her lovely wives and the children born to me and them.

Zagreus, who was so strong that he could be entrusted with the role of the underworld; Makaria, the blessed god of death; Melinoe, the goddess of nightmares who has recently become suspiciously close to Orpheus… I, too, have many descendants, just like Zeus and Poseidon.

Also, I feel the same way every time witnesses in court swear on my name.

Nowadays, people do not fear the name of God that much, so they often discuss lies.

“From now on, everything I say in court will be in the name of Hades, the god of justice, and only the truth…”

Hmm. That guy is lying.

Now that faith in the Olympian gods has weakened, it is obvious that if I were to issue an oracle or interfere with the world of the living, there would be total chaos, so I am tolerating it for now.

Even though medical science has advanced and human lifespans have increased, no mortal can escape death.

If they come to the afterlife later, all of this will become their karma.

* * *

After a long time, I crossed the rivers of the underworld one after another and arrived at the Acheron River.

The boatman of the Acheron River, Charon the Elder, is still sailing his boat. Fortunately, times have changed and technology has changed…

Woohoo-

The engine sound of the black boat decorated with all kinds of decorations tickles your ears.

An old man on a boat floating on the Acheron River. Mr. Charon, wearing a Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses, smiles and waves.

“Open. Hades!”

“Master Charon. Is something good happening?”

“Why not! How convenient it is not to have to row thanks to this thing that Hephaestus remade for me. Hahahaha!”

But he still has to steer the boat and carry the dead away…

He seems to like the fact that he doesn’t have to row the oars he’s been using for so long.

“Did you know that Thanatos is carrying a scythe these days? People who have seen him say that he is the Grim Reaper or something…”

“It seems that there are still humans left with the blood of a god or with the power of prophecy.”

As I was talking to Charon, I saw a crowd of dead people rushing into the Acheron River.

Thanatos’s hooded clones, carrying scythes, began to drag the dead away.

“Ah. I will go now to prepare the judgment of the dead.”

“Okay. Oh! Tell your wife, the Goddess of Mint, to refrain from eating the mint chocolate and all that weird stuff.”

“…?”

What are you talking about?

Wasn’t the mint chocolate that my church in this world recommended a food loved by everyone?

First, he returned to his throne and sat down to judge the dead as he always did.

Usually, the Minos line is filtered out, but will there be a special person who deserves my judgment?

Suddenly.

Just in time, someone came.

An old man comes in, looking around nervously at the unfamiliar sight.

The attendant who had led him here bowed his head to me and left, leaving only me and the deceased in the audience room.

“Hey. This is…!”

“Welcome to the afterlife.”

An old man looked around and made eye contact with me sitting on the throne.

Eyes and voice trembling without warning.

“Who are you? You must have drowned and died, and are being guided by the god of death…”

“I am Hades, the god of the underworld. From now on, I will be your judge.”

“Wow! This is ridiculous! Greek mythology was real?! This…”

When I saw the old man with his mouth open in shock, I couldn’t help but chuckle.

Unlike in the past, there are many people who think that the existence of our Olympian gods is fictional, so this kind of reaction has appeared occasionally.

No matter how much human science develops, the afterlife cannot be explained…

“Let’s see. You bravely jumped into the river to save a girl who was drowning, but you ended up losing your strength and came here.”

“This is… Oh my god… But I don’t believe in God…”

“He never committed murder or a serious crime in his life, and despite his unfortunate family background, he grew up upright… After retirement, he donated half of his wealth to charity. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a good person.”

“…Ah. Ugh. Ugh…!”

dump.

The dead cannot shed tears, but the old man kneels with a trembling body and a choking voice.

He waved his hand and raised his body with divine power.

After realizing that a strange force unknown to him was at work, he raised the one who was about to fall down again.

Finally, he gave his verdict with a smile.

“You are worthy of going to Elysion, that is, heaven. You have suffered a lot in this world, but at least here, you can live comfortably.”

“I. Ha. Hades… sir? Can I ask you one question…!”

“What is it?”

“My wife died about 5 years ago. I can’t meet my wife again after she was killed by a strange man…”

I often get questions and requests like this. I’m glad that the name Hades has been diluted with a lot of fear.

Fortunately, it is a request that can be granted as it does not go against the principles.

“Your wife has also done many good deeds and is living comfortably on the Elysian Plains. Both of you are bound for Elysian… You two are truly a model for all mortals.”

“…Thank you. Thank you! I’m an atheist… No. Oh… God. Thank you!”

“You don’t have to thank me. It’s the result of your good deeds in this world.”

Yes. Isn’t this what makes us feel rewarded and also a small happiness?

To judge fairly at the end of all mortals.

That is my task, my duty, and my responsibility as the King of the Underworld.
