  Summary

  Michael observes the world since the moment he came into existence. When God creates humans on the sixth day, Michael is amused by Adam. He watches him intently and curiously. That’s until Adam gets expelled from Eden alongside with Eve. But after eons, Michael happens to meet a boy with eerie resemblance to Adam of Eden. And this boy, weirdly enough happens to have the same name.
