Chapter 427. The Story of the Third Playthrough (4)

Although it was a long and sad dream, Edric couldn't get out of it after waking up.

Reason told him it was all a lie; he was clearly a member of the God of Light's servant family and had no sister at all.

But inexplicably, he would always unconsciously recall everything in his dream, savoring the bitterness that permeated it with sorrow. Sometimes he couldn't help but think that if the dream were real, perhaps it wouldn't be so bad.

Despite the tragic ending, he had experienced the warmth of family love, and even after his death, there were still regrets to fulfill his wishes.

It's better than the cold and lonely reality before us.

On that very night, when Edric was wavering, the red moon hung high in the sky, and he saw the little girl huddled by the fire.

【who is she?】

The question flashed through Edric's mind for a moment, followed by an even more certain statement:

I don't know... Anyway, she's my sister.

So he rescued the little girl, and she ran to his side and grabbed his robe.

"Do you want to come with me?"

The young man wearing a black wizard's hat looked down at her.

He nodded on his third playthrough.

"What's your name?"

he asked next.

I was stunned on my third playthrough.

She didn't actually know what her name should be.

The madwoman often calls out "Delis," but that's not what she's called.

For a homeless beggar, having a name that truly belongs to him is ultimately a luxury.

She paused for only a moment, then spoke in a low voice:
“My name is Delilah...Vera.”

……

After that day, the wizard named Edric took her away from the realm of the God of Light. He adopted Delis Vera as his sister and led her to the realm of the God of Original Sin, where he resided.

Vera was surprised by the young man's lodging, because in her mind, the Realm of Original Sin was a place where only the most vicious people would go.

In response to this question, the young man blinked slowly and then said:

“I used to be a member of the family of servants of the God of Light. I had a disagreement with the family because of the plague, and was later expelled from the family.”

Besides being known for its extreme viciousness, the Realm of Original Sin is also renowned for its inclusiveness.

Most domains of the Dark Pantheon do not accept members of the Light Pantheon's divine servant families, even if they have been expelled.

In this context, the infamous God of Original Sin ironically highlights his unique characteristics—

Its guiding principle is "Evil people are judged by their origins, and bad guys are judged by their backgrounds."

Without discrimination or prejudice, it treats all visitors equally, as long as they are determined to cause harm.

The holy book of the god of original sin, "How to Become a Villain," is so easy to understand and incredibly powerful that it has become the only book in history to become a million-copy bestseller despite being classified as a holy book.

In this realm of faith, the only ticket to entry is having blood on your hands.

After Edric staked out and killed a villain who had abused and murdered children, he successfully entered the Realm of Original Sin and became one of the millions of "bad guys" there.

Vera followed him into the realm of the original sin god and stayed at Edric's hut.

That period became a rare and peaceful time in my memories.

The young man in the black wizard's hat was an assassin, but as a member expelled from the family of divine servants, he originally had no divine power to draw upon.

Without power, life on this continent means endless bullying and humiliation. In order to survive and even protect his sister, Edric has been practicing the "Forbidden Codex".

"Forbidden Codex" is just the common name used by people on the mainland. In fact, it has a more formal name: "The Codex of the God of Death and Annihilation".

When Vera first saw her brother take the thick, tombstone-like, jet-black book down from the shelf and carefully wipe its leather cover, she couldn't help but be somewhat stunned:

"The holy scripture of the god of death and silence?"

"Yes."

Edric put down the handkerchief and looked at the book with a reverent gaze. He sighed:

"Praise the silence of death."

Vera didn't know this god; she only knew that he was a powerful and distant deity who had no domain of worship on the continent, yet the entire continent was his pilgrimage site.

Legend has it that the God of Death does not accept believers, so every spell in his holy book related to the Death Order has a price tag, requiring flesh and blood and life as payment.

Vera didn't dare ask the young man what he had given back to Deathly Silence.

Flesh and blood, or life?

From the increasingly pale face of the young man, she already knew the answer.

As time went by, the green light in Vera's palm also grew stronger.

One day, while she was tiptoeing to pull a book from the bookshelf, she lost her balance and fell down the wooden ladder.

A splinter pierced my palm, causing a sharp pain.

In that instant, a vibrant green light suddenly surged forth, enveloping the wound like flowing water.

As flesh and blood grow back, the wounds heal, leaving only a slight warmth beneath the skin.

Vera stared blankly at her intact palm, finally understanding what the green light, which had long been condemned as heresy and forced to be hidden, truly meant.

—It is healing.

The green light had not completely dissipated, and a soft halo spread out, illuminating the brown hardcover book that had slid to the ground with her.

How Villains Are Made: Finance and Faith Studies

This book, which she had read countless times, was written by a con artist who had infiltrated high society and uncovered many shocking truths.

Because its contents were too truthful, the book was immediately blocked by the major Vatican councils upon its publication and should have been lost forever.

However, it was later included in the Book of Original Sin, the book that is universally condemned and ravaged as "How to Become a Villain," and thus preserved—the Book of Original Sin contains many such books, which may be the real reason for its popularity.

In that instant, Vera stared at the book title, and countless words from the book flooded her mind.

The Rose Group, under the control of the God of Wealth, monopolizes the medical field, demanding exorbitant prices... The Vatican purchases holy water, which the God of Wealth conjures with the power of money and contains only a trace of healing power, and bestows it upon believers, claiming it to be a "unique gift" and "holy water of life"... However, those blessed with naturally green healing power are stigmatized as "patients with strange diseases."

This was a conspiracy of encirclement and suppression; the god of wealth amassed riches, while the various papal courts collected bribes—each getting what they wanted.

When will the true light of healing return to the world?

We are still waiting amidst our pain.

Vera held the brown-covered book in her hands, the faint green light in her palm shining quietly, like a seedling that refused to be extinguished.

At that moment, she truly understood—

She was never some green-glowing little monster.

People ridiculed her for being different, but little did they know...

The truth is not what everyone points out.

It is hidden under a veil of lies.

The mastermind behind all of this was ultimately revealed in the holy book of the God of Original Sin.

I started a new book on my homepage, but it's a 1vN invincible female protagonist Sentinel. Those who are interested in multiple male protagonists can check it out, while those who prefer no romance can ignore this line. The original intention of starting the new book was to bring some traffic to this one, but before I could even nurture the new book, this one suddenly gained traffic.

Also, thank you all for the donations! I'll be posting two updates tomorrow.
