God of Tricksters



The groom and the bridge stood next to each other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we gather here today to celebrate the union of two beautiful souls, Theodore Griffith and Agata Mota. Today, we witness the merging of two lives, two hearts, and two families into a single bond of love and commitment."

"Marriage is a journey that begins with the exchange of vows, but it is so much more than that. It is a promise to stand by each other's side through thick and thin, to cherish and support one another, to build a life together filled with love, trust, and understanding."

"As you stand here before us today, remember that love is a gift to be nurtured and cherished. It is a flame that requires care, attention, and selflessness. May you find comfort and solace in each other's embrace, and may your love continue to grow with each passing day."

Theo and Agata smiled as they turned around, facing each other.

"And now, I ask you both, Theodore Griffith and Agata Mota, the most sacred question of all. Do you, Theodore Griffith, take Agata Mota to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until death do you part?"

Theo's smile was filled with emotion. He remembered how they first met. They had been separated on a lot of occasions because of his lack of ability. He, who had lost the meaning of love, finally regained it because of her. Finally, he had arrived at this point. He could say without hesitation, "I do."

Then the former pope turned towards Agata. "And do you, Agata Mota, take Theodore Griffith to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until death do you part?"

Agata also reminisced about the past. She had declared to Theo that she never wanted to be his accessory. Even if she couldn't grow stronger to catch up to his strength, she continued to work hard in all other aspects. That was why she could stand in front of him today, on this most important day. She could proudly declare that she could stand next to him. "I do."

"With the power vested in me and the love witnessed by all present here today, I now pronounce you husband and wife."

'Here I am.' Noel thought while looking at Agata. 'I must have made you worry and sad. I have to create all those scenes so that the world thinks I have died, so no one bothers us anymore. The government will surely see me as a thorn or a shadow leader, after all. That's why I have to go to another world and destroy the pillar connecting it.

'The world has agreed to fulfill three of my wishes. And that last one was to create an exact copy of that structure so that I could return to this place. It's just that it takes a bit too long since I have to find those people because they are not supposed to die because of my weakness. I have made you wait for too long.'

Agata's expression looked like she had understood everything. 'I know that you have been working hard all this time. That's why I will always believe in you. You have told me that you never lie. I know that you will come back and marry me. That's why there is no need to mull over the past.

'We are standing here to face the future… the future of both of us. That's why Theo, I'm here. Everything doesn't matter anymore because…'

Both of them leaned toward each other, their hearts brimming with love and excitement. They were like the young boy and girl who had met each other in the competition for the first time.

'Yeah. Because…' Both of them had the same thought. 'I'll be your husband (wife).'

The pope declared it with a voice filled with reverence and joy. "You may seal your commitment with a kiss."

Their lips met, sealing their vows in a tender and passionate kiss. The room erupted in jubilant applause, and the outside was shaken by the thunderous roars, celebrating the beginning of their shared adventure as husband and wife.

…

Time flew quietly by. Several years passed in the blink of an eye.

During those years, a new world was created. The monsters that Theo brought from the other world had come to an agreement. That agreement was immortalized as the pact of all races.

Theo had gathered all races to discuss the world's rule. As the supreme Singularity, Theo didn't wish for his life to be filled with blood, fully knowing that he had the strength to defeat all the races in the world. That was why he reached an agreement where they could live together in peace.

As for Theo, he often disappeared from the world. After all, Theo had promised Agata an unforgettable honeymoon.

And that honeymoon was held in another world. Thanks to Theo's power, the trip was made possible.

It didn't take too long before the two settled down because they had more important business.

In a grass field, there were two people crossing the field. The first one was Agata. She was holding a little girl who was about seven years old. She was pretty, with blue hair and an energetic expression. Her big, bright eyes were gleaming. She tied her hair into pigtails, making her look playful.

She was Theo and Agata's daughter, Mia Griffith.

"Dad. I brought Mom here! You are going to fulfill your promise, right? I also want to go to another world!" Mia puffed her cheeks like a squirrel.

Just looking at her cute face melted Theo's heart. Theo hugged her and grinned, "Of course. We are ready, you know."

"Yosh!" Mia pumped her fist as though she had won a huge victory. "By the way, where are we going now?"

"Hehe. We are going to a special place this time. The place where everything begins!"

"The place where everything begins?" Mia's eyes brightened as though they would be leaving for an adventure.

"Yep. This time, we're going to the world where we can finally meet the one who created this world. I have declared in the past that I will make sure to reach the one in the other dimension. That's why…" Theo smirked while raising his hand and making a gripping motion as though he had grasped the sky. "…Let's meet the creator."

(The End)

Or

(To be continued… in 'I Can Read People's Comments,' the second novel. The genre is different, so I have to separate it. Both stories can be read as a standalone, though, I wish that you could read it as well.)

Author's Note:

It's been more than two years, but this long ride is finally over. As I said earlier, 'I Can Read People's Comments' is the next novel if you still wish to follow Theo's adventure as he is planning to meet me. You, readers, can participate in the story and help him to reach me.

Alright, alright. Promotion aside, I don't know how I can express this right now. Theo's growth is truly amazing. I know that most of you are expecting the sudden change of Theo into an intelligent trickster, but when I'm thinking back, I'm glad that Theo can grow wiser and wiser as time passes. He might make mistakes, he might make dumb decisions, but more importantly, he improves.

I would especially like to thank all the patrons who make me believe that I can still continue writing this novel. *Bow*

If you haven't written any reviews for this book, I would love to hear what you think about this story. I'd really appreciate it if you could take a little time and share your thoughts in a review. Let me and the potential readers know the good, the bad, and whatever you think I should improve for my next writing.

Thank you for taking part in my and Theo's journey.

See you in the next book.
