Lee Minho - 8

The human world could not exist independently. They always required the protection of the gods. Each god had its own people under their wing, and only a few had none. Their task was to guide and protect their people.

Despite this, the gods had their flaws too. No one would admit it, but each of them had their vices: greed, lust for power, selfishness… the list goes on and on. But the gods weren't equal either. Some were stronger, some wiser, but there were always those who occupied the top three places.

Minho's god was Midas, one of the most powerful. He was second in power. He was wise, strong, beautiful... everything befitting a perfect god. But he wasn't perfect. He was cold, selfish, and aggressive. When he was angry, rainstorms and thunderstorms erupted across the Earth, a fairly common occurrence. Because of their selfishness and coldness, his people betrayed him and defected to another god, leaving Minho without a purpose. But he remained in second place, despite everything.

Whatever his nature, his place was divided between him and another god, a goddess. Her name was Lera. She was beautiful and just as smart and strong, but like everyone else, she had her flaws. Minho and Lera had a long history.

Yes, Minho was selfish, but he always offered Lera his hand when they fell. Yes, he was cold, but he always shielded her from danger with his body, even though he knew she could handle it on her own. No matter what anyone said, Minho never spoke of his feelings out loud—did he even have any? Perhaps, deep down, he admired her, but nothing more. Gods were always reserved in their feelings.

It was raining heavily again. This time, a servant spilled wine on Minho, which enraged him. He was calm and composed, but he was ready to explode with rage. Although he knew he should have been more patient, he couldn't.

He left his sacred abode and made his way through the garden of the gods, a place where the gods often gathered. He wandered leisurely, collecting his thoughts and calming himself.

Minho is the god Midas in second place. Ares is second. Hades is third. Zeus is highest of all. Lera is the goddess Iris.
