Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

"He doesn't seem like anything special. Could he be a key character in the plot?"

Looking at the two choices on the screen.

Li Qianyi began his analysis.

"Theoretically speaking, the best option when encountering a stranger in the wild is to ignore them."

"But the other party was wearing a police uniform, so there is a certain possibility of orderliness."

Li Qianyi chose option A and went to rescue the other party.

You step forward, tear off some clothing from the other person's body, and begin bandaging their wounds; however, your first aid skills are truly appalling.

[You almost killed the other person, but fortunately, their vitality was strong enough that you managed to stop the bleeding after several attempts.]

[However, a full recovery requires the intervention of a professional doctor or exceptional skills.]

You could sense that the other person cautiously breathed a sigh of relief.

You successfully treated Jack Belmont, and your relationship with Jack Belmont has solidified into that of "best friends".

What's with that contemptuous tone? I'm not a doctor or a nurse.

Li Qianyi's lips twitched a few times.

The man was very grateful for your help. He told you that his name was Jack Belmont and that he was the sheriff of Anningtown.

He told you that, with the birthday of the Holy Son approaching, many cultists had infiltrated Anning Town, mingling with itinerant merchants and circus performers.

He came in pursuit of a "Lamp Bearer," a cultist who served the great evil god "Lord of Mysteries." However, he underestimated the opponent's power and was severely injured.

If it weren't for your help, he would probably have died in this wilderness.

"Are the 'Lamp Bearers' cultists, and the 'Lord of Mysteries' a great evil god?"

Li Qianyi was somewhat stunned by this sudden bombshell news.

This is different from what he knew.

After the final battle, the Church of the Fools should be a righteous church, so how could it be an evil god and cultists?

"No, no." Li Qianyi pondered for a moment, "If God is the master of this world, then the mysterious lord who hinders His return can indeed be called an evil god."

"Does this mean that the stance in the game has shifted from that in the novel?"

Could this be a conspiracy by the "Primordial God"?

This thought arose in Li Qianyi's mind.

Jack Belmont tells you that the wilderness at night is extremely dangerous, and you must return to Peaceful Town before the night bells of the "Father's Cathedral" ring, or you will be lost in this endless night.

As a token of appreciation for your generous assistance, Jack Belmont would like to offer you some reward. Would you be willing to accept it?

【Yes】

Yes, how can I not want it?

You have obtained a revolver*1, six bullets, and 10 Divine Faith.

[Current storage backpack 3/10]

Li Qianyi clicked on the entry.

[Revolver: The standard firearm issued to the sheriff of Anning Town. The gun body is covered with scratches and dark stains. The man's sweat and machine oil have long since seeped into the wood grain, and it faintly exudes a smell of rust and blood.]

Base attack power: 1~3

【Durability: 350/500】

[Bullets: Standard bullets issued to the sheriff of Anning Town]

Base Attack Power: 3

Li Qianyi was a little curious, so he took the pistol out of the game.

This revolver from Jack Belmont is slender and has the simple lines characteristic of old-fashioned firearms.

The cylinder has six deep grooves, the ejector rod under the barrel is as thin as a steel needle, and the wooden handle, which feels heavy and smells of machine oil, is held in the palm of the hand.

"Divine faith" is something like a gold coin, with only a simple cross engraving on its surface.

Su Mi said that one needs to accumulate more divine faith in order to grow quickly.

But what does Lord of Mysteries' upgrade system, built on potion sequences and blessings, have to do with divine faith?

Li Qianyi pondered for a moment, then put his things away and looked back at his phone screen.

You learn from Jack Belmont that divine faith is the most important currency in Paradise Lost. You can exchange divine faith for anything in Paradise Lost, including potion ingredients and potion recipes to become extraordinary, and it is also a key item to activate certain special items.

"Just currency?"

Li Qianyi continued the game.

[At this moment, the night is deep, and the bells of St. Father's Cathedral may ring at any moment. You think of Jack Belmont's warning and know what you should do next to avoid getting lost in this dark, eternal night.]

So, what's your choice?

[Option A: Shoot Jack Belmont when he's not looking, then head to Annihilation alone]

[Option B: Help Jack Belmont back to Annihilation. Note that this may slow you down.]

[Option C: Abandon Jack Belmont and let him fend for himself here, then head to Annihilation alone]

Li Qianyi glanced at it and began to analyze.

Based on the available information, the townspeople of Anning Town seem to be serving the primordial God, an entity opposed to the mysterious Lord Klein.

Theoretically speaking, choosing A and C can not only reduce travel time and the probability of encountering risks, but also eliminate a believer who is a believer in God.

"But as someone who has lost their homeland, I am unfamiliar with Anning Town. Without a guide with whom I have a good relationship, the rest of the story might be very difficult to follow."

Li Qianyi suspected that this was a new mentor assigned to him by the game. After thinking about it, he chose B.

What ill intentions could a homeless person with clear eyes harbor? You help Jack Belmont along as they head to Peaceful Town.

[However, as a grown man, the sheriff is quite large, and carrying such a sick person will undoubtedly slow you down.]

As you walk toward the town, you can't ignore the faint howls of wolves, and in a daze, you see pairs of green eyes gleaming in the depths of the darkness.

Just then, a black wolf suddenly jumped out and blocked your way.

[Option A: Shoot the wolf with a revolver when it's off guard]

[Option B: Pretend you didn't see anything and enter Annihilation with Jack Belmont]

"Then of course, we should choose A."

The other party has already appeared, how can you pretend you didn't see them?

You pull out your revolver and use your less-than-stellar shooting skills to attack the wolf.

You missed.

The wolf didn't expect you to be so useless, and pounced on you.

[You were killed by a wolf's claws, and Jack Belmont, whom you were carrying, was torn apart by the subsequent pack of wolves.]

You two unfortunate brothers collapsed in a desolate wilderness, forgotten by all.

Damn it.

Li Qianyi was dumbfounded. If he couldn't hit the target, what use was the gun to him?

And what kind of wolf is this? One swipe and it's dead. Is it Wolverine?

If time were reversed, this time Li Qianyi would choose option B.

You ignored the menacing wolf lurking nearby, while the wolf seemed quite wary of the gun in your hand.

You looked at each other, wary of one another.

In the end, it could only watch as you helped Jack Belmont into Peacetown.

Night had fallen, and almost all the shops in Anning Town were closed, leaving the streets deserted and quiet.

You travel with Jack Belmont to the Cathedral of Father Fathers, where he needs a priest to heal his injuries and register your information with him.

The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Father is located in the very center of Anning Town. A few rosy moonlights pierce through the darkness of the eternal night, illuminating the magnificent and splendid building.

[You and Jack enter the church. In front of the cross deep inside the church, you see an elderly figure dressed in a white vestment. He introduces himself as Caleb Hayes, the night watchman of the Cathedral of the Fathers.]

You bow to the other person as a sign of respect. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Jack Behrmant and Caleb Hayes go into a private room to talk.

Alone in the church, you look up and see the stained-glass windows of the dome forming the eternally unsleeping eyes of God, overlooking everything. On the dark metal cross, the crucifix leans slightly forward. Candlelight illuminates the aisle, yet deepens the shadows, just as God said, light never dispels darkness, and all secrets are laid bare under God's gaze.

[You have witnessed the miracle of the omniscient and omnipotent One, and you have gained Divine Faith*10.]

"This works?"

Li Qianyi never expected to gain this much.

Shortly after, Jack Behrmant and Caleb Hayes left the secret room.

Caleb Hayes is very grateful that you saved the sheriff of Annihilation from the clutches of the cultists, and as a reward, he wants to invite you to join the sacred Covenant of Silence.

He tells you that the Covenant of Silence is a righteous sect of Paradise Lost, serving an all-knowing and all-powerful Lord, and is constantly striving to bring back the great Lord.

If you can join the Covenant of Silence and become a Covenant Priest, you will have the opportunity to wield extraordinary power and become an extraordinary being.

You have the following options.

[Option A: Agree to the Night Watch priest Caleb Hayes's request, join the Covenant of Silence, and become a servant of the Omniscient and Omnipotent (you will receive the 'Singer' potion)]

[Option B: Politely decline the request from Vicar Caleb Hayes and leave the Cathedral with Jack Belmont]

[Option C: Shoot the Night Watch Priest Caleb Hayes, then escape from the Cathedral of Fathers]
