The following Tuesday he is nervous about his initiation as Jennie Byun goes with him. As they get in the elevator, they run into Cosette and Adeline Chung, really Riley Oh and Emmett Harrison is disguise respectively. He passes his initiation and receives his Gi Bracelet.

The following day, Riley, Emmett, and Taeyo go ho his family's restaurant and he takes their orders and brings them their food. After overhearing they need to deliver a message to Jennie, he agrees to take them to her after they finish their meal. When they arrive at the Byun mansion, he convinces Jennie to let them in as Taeyo delivers the message. Soon Jennies grandmother appears and thanks them before finding out that Emmett's mom has become a vengeful ghost due to being tricked by a friend into stealing an artifact. After she passes on, Jennie thanks them and Riley announces her intent to initiate into the Horangi, surprising everyone. He stays with Jennie as the others leave.

When Jennie has a vision of something happening at the Gi Sanctuary, he, Noah Noh, and Cosette Chung go with her to find the Ohs, Emmett, and three Horangi fighting the Cave Bear Goddess as she possesses Okja. He and Jennie douse the goddess in immobilization potion as Cosette distracts her. He and the others are shocked when Riley announces she is the last fallen star and watch as she destroys the goddess's statue, expelling her from Okja and the mortalrealm.

As things calm down, he and the others from Saturday school try to comfort Riley, but she runs away crying to he elevators, he and Noah are amazed watching Taeyo perform tricks with water. Unknown to everyone, Riley is given a wish by the Haetae to undo anything from her past and she decides to resurrect Hattie. He does so and, after a delay, Hattie is resurrected. They all cheer and promise to find a way to restore their memories of Riley as they fill Hattie in.

Two months later David helps Jennie with a love potion for her crush, Mateo, she gives it to him. However Mateo's heart stops for two hours. David keeps apologizing as they head to the Oh House for a belated birthday party for Riley. However during the party, angry Gom vandalize the house with hate messages for Riley. Riley starts to blame herself for the incident as he and the others volunteer to coverup the graffiti and comfort her. When they return to the kitchen for cake, everything in the kitchen starts to attack them. Austin holds off the knives as everyone flees to the hall. The hallway then attacks them and Sora pries the door open and everyone escapes. Riley's family becomes distraught when they realize their house is cursed and Sora offers to house them at their compound. Riley starts to tear up as her mother says she is not to blame. How Riley screams that it is her fault and she is not hero. Emmett and the Ohs leave with the Horangi while the others go home.

David and Jennie return to his house to get to work on perfecting that love potion. When Riley comes by saying her mother needs a potion to calm her nerves and David gives her one after giving her a tour. Riley snatches the faulty love potion and slips it in her bag As Jennie drinks a potion to help with her see visions as she sleeps, Riley slips the defective love potion into her bag and leaves. However Jennie stops her and unintentionally finds out Riley has the potion. Riley reluctantly tells the two her plan and he and Jennie try to talk her out of it. Riley relents, only to knock them out with a potion she noticed on the wall. Areum wakes him and Jennie up soon after and the three of them recruit Emmett, Cosette, Noah, and Taeyo and form a rescue team. They use the doorway in the temple to enter the Spiritrealm. However it closes and only he, Jennie, Areum, and Emmett made it through before the gate closed. They greeted by the authorities and Areum was the only one who got away.

He, Jennie, and Emmett are put to sleep and tied to the top of the Statue of Eternity as they are being expunged. Thankfully the three are saved and bathed in the River of Reincarnation with the three reverting to their soul animals to recover and Areum safeguards them until they return home. When they return the the Mortal realm, he and the others revert back to their human form. David and the others watch in amazement as Dahl inadvertently summons the Haetae, who warns them the goddesses are planning to start a war. He watches as the Gom and Horangi present get their memories of Riley back.

The Last Fallen Realm

After gathering in Las Vegas with the rest of the American Gifted Community, the sun vanishes. As Riley texts her friends to meet up at a restaurant, he and Jennie say they cannot as they are to busy trying to calm the masses. When the adults enter a trance and wander off, David and his friends text each other about it as Riley sends a picture of the adults and he and the others head over to help.

When Hattie wakes up, she sends you a group text to meet up at the High Roller. Once there, everyone greets Hattie. Emmett, Dahl, Taeyo, Jennie, and Cosette happy welcome her back as Noah hugs her. As Phoebe and her friends shriek in excitement, Areum calls the meeting to order. As they discuss their next move, Emmett says he checked on the wax museum where the adults are to find it missing, indicating that the realms have not entirely merged. He takes out a flyer for a gathering the remaining goddesses have put on and Gus they pitched their idea for their Megarealm. As they pass around the flyer, they realize the event is over and the Oh sisters say they can track down Mago's Fire with a three-legged crow feather. After decided against taking a feather from the Three-Legged Crow Goddess, Areum says she knows a three-legged crow working for Persimmon, a tech company in the Godrealm. After questioning how they will enter the Godrealm, Taeyo reveals he used scales and fur from the goddesses to creat a program to track portals to the Godrealm, but says it is unstable and they could end up trapped in the Godrealm miles from their target. They are it is a risk they need to take and Taeyo lists three locations of portals- the Mob Museum, Eiffel Tower replica, and M&M's World- and Hattie forms teams. First, Dahl, Taeyo, and Emmett are assigned to the Mob Museum, Second, Noah, David, Cosette, and Jennie are assigned to the Eiffel Tower replica. Third, Riley and Areum are put with Hattie Togo to M&M's World. Lastly, Phoebe and her friends are tasked to keep an eye on things in the Mortalrealm.

He and his group manage to enter the Godrealm and end up at the Mountain Tiger Goddess's college and are quickly apprehended. They are brought to Tokki Pharmaceuticals, where they are put in cages, and used as test subjects for a mind control formula that will work on gifted children. As they are out cold, Riley, Hattie, and Areum are brought to the room to be tested on as well. Once the three wake up in their cages, the four fill them in. As Hattie looks for dirt to use as a weapon, they say their biochips are useless in the Godrealm as they are powered by the elements in the Mortalrealm. As the others explain the gummies they ever forced to test, with the mind control gummies still deemed not ready, they say the need a crowbal to open the cage doors and hope that Taeyo, Emmett, and Dahl have made it to Persimmon. Soon someone enters the room and introduces himself as a three-legged crow named Sahm, Areum's friend from Persimmon who said their companions reached him and are back at his office. As Sahm works on the locks, he says he found when Taeyo reworked his program to find humans and that Dahl has managed to talk his co-workers into disagreeing with the Megarealm. Fearing someone will walk in on them, Riley asks Sahm to hurry, but he says the building is empty as everyone is attending the tournament to determine the Megarealms's prime minister, stating the goddesses do not wish to run the Megarealm themselves. When asking about the adults in their army, Sahm mentions the goddesses referred them them as a volunteer peacekeeping force. Upon Sahm releasing everyone, Riley recites the Haetae's prophecy and suggests they need the key of keys in addition to Mago's Fire. Hattie then suggests they enter the tournament to get the key and fire, much to everyone’s shock. Soon, they hear something in the vents and are surprised to see Namjoon. As Hattie greets Namjoon, Riley wonders how he arrived as Hattie translates for the imugi, shocking everyone. Riley theorizes that Hattie can understand Namjoon due to the power of the Water Dragon Goddess. Hattie says that Namjoon is telling her that the rips in the realms have gotten worse. Riley tells them they have to hurry to the tournament, but Sahm says only citizens of the Godrealm can enter. Hattie insist Riley compete as she is the Last Fallen Star while Riley insists Hattie take part due to having the Water Dragon Godess's powers. However everyone insists Riley to it and she agrees. As it is a masquerade tournament, Sahm gives Riley a Phantom of the Opera style mask to wear and he gives her gummies that temporarily give the eater rabbit ears. Sahm gives Riley two of his feather and tells her they will point her to what she is looking for and instructs one to find the key of keys and the other to find Mago's Fire. As Sahm is about to take everyone to Persimmon, David says he is staying behind to try and find a cure for the adults mind washing and Jennie and Cosette stay with him as Noah goes with Hattie. Sahm tells Areum to take Riley to Hungry Holes, a glow in the dark mini golf course.

David manages to reverse engineer a cure for the mind control gummies and he, Cosette, and Jennie recruit the moon rabbits to help disburse it among the crowd. After the goddesses lure Riley into a trap in a theater, Namjoon, Boris, Hattie, Emmett, James, Eunha, Taeyo, Cosette, Noah, Jennie, Sahm, Charles, Maru, Okja, Sora, Austin, Emmett, the Haetae- with the mayor in its jaws, Phoebe, and two other members of RilOh arrive. As the goddesses are distracted, Riley destroys the key and gives a piece of Mago's Fire to everyone, including the goddesses, who revert to infant animals. As everyone takes in their victory, Emmett suggests the Yeomra be made a janitor as the mayor pleads for death instead. As everyone thinks of ways to separate the realms, Riley knows the only way is for her to become the new sun. The others try to talk Riley out of it, but she insists it is the only way. They say their goodbyes and Riley uses Emmett’s bracelet to link herself into her loved ones and the goddesses. The Haetae takes Riley to the stratosphere and she becomes the new sun, giving magic to everyone.
