Isaac looked around and saw a mesmerizing scenery. Lush forest with pure green leaves and budded blossoms.
''Golden apples?'' Isaac extended his hand and picked an apple from one of the trees. The apple glimmered under the starlight.
''Is this eatable?'' He thought aloud. He moved his finger around the gold apple and felt tempted to try it out.
He opened his mouth wide open, grazed the apple with his teeth, and took a large bite.
Crunch!
The eaten parts of the apple traversed through his throat and landed on his stomach.
''Delicious!'' Isaac clamored. Golden liquid streamed down from the apple.
Crunch!
He quickly devoured another piece before the golden liquid was squandered. Several moments later, the whole apple found its way to his stomach.
''Wow…'' He stroked his full stomach, ''It was only one apple… Yet, I am so full.''
DING! DING!
''Eh?!'' Isaac flinched and saw notifications hovering in front of him.
[You Have Eaten Golden Apple!]
[Strength Limit Increased from 50 to 100!]
Inside Isaac's body, changes were undergoing. The shackles gradually loosened, freeing more of the bright light. However, it was a minimal change, and soon, it stopped.
''Wow…'' Isaac opened his Interface and was astonished at the change.
[STR: 50]
''I can increase it more…'' He glanced at his Stat Points and had 30 remaining!
He allocated them all to the strength stat, and soon the 50 became 80!
''Haahhh…'' Isaac raised his chin and inhaled the fresh air into his lungs before exhaling and releasing them back to the wild.
Fwoosh!
Above the trees, a blur of gold soared across the air.
''Eh?'' Isaac noticed the weird scene. The blur of gold looked somewhat similar to a human.
He ran in the same direction as the golden blur, and soon, he noticed a shimmer of light. He was about to reach the end of the woods!
Isaac increased his speed and soon left the forest. In front of him, scenery that would be impossible to erase from his mind emerged.
A City.
Around the forest was a gigantic City with structures made from gold, marbles, and silver. Towering buildings made Skyscrapers look like a joke.
Streets packed with godly-looking individuals. Most of them wore extravagant robes, garments, and suits.
Around the streets were structures made with architecture that was worlds apart from mortal facilities.
Whenever one of the inhabitants walked toward the buildings, the glass doors automatically slid open, allowing everyone to step inside the buildings without having to open them manually.
Isaac managed to see the windows, at the other side, godly figures were either doing their work or enjoying their time.
However, another part of the City was even more captivating. Neighborhoods surrounded by golden fences and entrances. Hundreds of different buildings, gardens, and gates were standing proudly in the neighborhood.
The neighborhood was swarmed with people, with Gods and Goddesses of every age walking back and forth between the avenues. Even individuals with wings on their backs and golden armor or robes were part of the community.
Seeing children wasn't unusual sight either. They seemed rather joyful while spending time with other children on either playground or in their own quarters.
The nighttime didn't bother any of them, and it seemed like it was as busy as daytime. The night was only another time of day for them, which didn't prevent them from doing whatever they enjoyed.
The whole city was enveloped in a beautiful shimmer of light. The entire area shining in beautiful brilliance.
Isaac's words got stuck in his throat. In the distance, he saw a large golden palace that was effortlessly the largest building in the City.
It wasn't the tallest but was easily bigger than any castle Isaac had seen. The palace was over a thousand times bigger than his own house.
''This is… Beautiful…'' Isaac lowered his arms and relished the sight as long as he could. In front of him was a pathway that led straight to the streets. However, everyone in the streets walked past the trail and continued their everyday life.
No one had noticed Isaac yet, but soon that changed.
Fwoosh!
Once again, Isaac heard the sound of wings flapping.
Thud!
A blur of gold landed right before him, causing Isaac to yank backward.
In front of him, a handsome man with beautiful white wings and golden armor appeared. He had short blond hair, sharp facial characteristics, and a well-defined upper body.
''Who are you, and why were you trespassing in the Garden of Eden?!'' The Angel grazed the handle of his long sword. Ready to slice the intruder apart.
'Garden of Eden?!' Isaac cried out, 'Oh no… I ate an apple from there!'
''Answer!''
Schwing!
Part of the sword was drawn from the scabbard.
''I-I don't know!'' Isaac raised his arms, ''I ripped a golden ticket apart and found myself there!''
The Angel raised an eyebrow and slightly relaxed the grip from the handle, ''Show me the ticket.''
Isaac's face quickly varied shades, ''Well… You see, it was left behind where I came from.''
The Angel's eyes shone in a beautiful shimmer of light, ''That means you were trespassing, and that deserves godly punishment!''
''No, wait!''
The Angel didn't listen to any more words and swung the sword in a horizontal line.
The blade effortlessly sliced Isaac's body apart!
Isaac's eyes trembled, and soon everything became dark.
…
''Mm..?'' Isaac's eyes groggily opened up. He noticed a dark room and silver bars.
''What..?'' He rubbed his eyes and focused his gaze. His current location was a prison cell somewhere in God City.
''Are you kidding…'' Isaac started tugging his hair, ''Fuck!''
Tap!
From the hallway, footsteps reverberated in the dark prison.
Tap!
Rattle!
The footsteps neared the prison cell, and it didn't take long for Isaac to find out where the noise was coming from.
A man with beautiful golden hair and white wings appeared. He was wearing golden robes with ear piercings and long eyelashes.
He was a relatively beautiful individual, but his eyes showed limitless coldness.
He was carrying a fragment of paper as he stopped in front of the prison cell.
His nametag hovered above him.
[Zarfel]
''Are you aware of your sins?'' Zarfel asked.
''What?'' Isaac stopped in front of the silver bars and banged his hands on them, ''What sins?!''
Zarfel's face didn't show any changes. He brought out a pencil and scribbled on the paper.
Once he was done writing, he offered the paper to Isaac.
Isaac grabbed it and peeked at the text.
[Sin: Trespassing in Garden of Eden]
[Punishment: 100 years of imprisonment]
