Fanatics of the Magic Academy

Rose noticed that something had changed on his panel.

Name: Rose

Age: Six years old

Occupation: Dim Light-level Ancient Dragon Follower

Power: 5

Agility: 6

Concentration: 6 (12) (Total cap increased by 1 point, originally 11 points, currently not fully recovered, now 6)

Reason: 38 (0) (This value is temporarily set due to the materialistic nature of the property)

Faith: 0 (38) (This value is temporarily set due to the materialistic nature of the character)

Traits:

[Fanatical Materialist] (Golden Trait):

1. Fanaticism: Your sanity cannot be increased; you can only increase your faith.

2. Materialism: By consuming Focus Points, you can temporarily convert all Faith Points into Reason.

3. Frenzied Rationality: When rationality drops below 0, it will be forcibly locked to 0, and negative rationality will be converted into positive faith points.

The Path of a Gu Long Follower:

[The Shining Ancient Dragon Follower]:

Promotion requirements:

1. Faith 40

2. Find your own path as a follower of the ancient dragons.

【？？？】：Not unlocked. Please achieve 【Shining Ancient Dragon Follower】 first.

prayer:

[Vitality Flow], [Lightning Gun], [Lightning Strike], [Electric Shock], [Ancient Dragon Meditation]

First, his concentration limit increased by 1 point, most likely because he over-exerted his concentration once, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

And, just as he had guessed, his mental state had not recovered well; he had only recovered half, with just 6 points remaining.

Then there's the "Path of the Ancient Dragon Believer," and he's currently at the "Faint Level Ancient Dragon Believer" level.

The next level is "Bright-level Ancient Dragon Follower," but he doesn't know anything about the levels after Bright-level.

Although he was a fanatical believer and a holy son, he really didn't understand the path to advancement for believers.

After all, we didn't raise him from a young age to actually turn him into a fanatical believer...

It's a bit like hell, I say.

There are two prerequisites for advancing to the next stage. The first is a faith level of 40. Currently, his faith level is 38, which is still very close. He just needs to avoid a complete breakdown of sanity...

Forget it, this upgrade method feels too outrageous.

The more sanity he loses, the stronger he becomes; he's a true god.

Such an opportunity to kill one's father and mother is truly rare and hard to come by.

Maybe if I were transported to a Cthulhu world, I could max out my level in a single day.

Believers should have legitimate methods to enhance their faith, and with a little practice, they should be able to easily meet the requirement of 40 points.

The second prerequisite for advancement is to "find your own path as an Ancient Dragon follower".

I'm a bit confused and don't know what it means.

Speaking of this, Rose thought of his previous dream, in which he dreamt about his past life.

In his previous life, when he went out to sea, he encountered an unknown giant creature that stuck a lightning spear into the sea, radiating it over a distance of tens of kilometers.

Then he was transported to another world in an instant.

From the person who suddenly appeared in the dream, we can tell that the creature was probably an ancient dragon that had somehow come to his original world.

Furthermore, Rose felt that his belief was strange.

Rose could clearly sense that the "person" was the deity worshipped by Gu Long, but he did not feel any reverence for Him.

Furthermore, if the Ancient Dragon faith is supposed to be about worshipping Ancient Dragons, then why did "God" tell Rose—

"Worship dragons, study yourself, surpass dragons... slay dragons!"

The most amazing thing is that He actually led me to find my own path as a follower of the Ancient Dragons.

Rose couldn't help but ponder: Are all believers in this world this wild?

Rose felt that this was clearly not the case. The fact that the gods rejected him while the ancient dragon faith accepted him showed that this faith was obviously different from others...

"Wow, you're awake!"

A clear, childish voice with a broken accent interrupted Rose's thoughts.

Rose turned her head and saw a little girl, about the same age as Rose and clearly not a local of Lovelia, standing at the entrance of the bridge, holding a piece of bread.

She had a head of dirty, fluffy, wavy brown hair, and her skin was faintly visible as a light ivory color. Her large, bright brown eyes stared intently at Rose.

Then, she turned her head and shouted towards the outside of the bridge arch:

"Dad, I already told you, he's not dead! You insist on sending him to those people who collect corpses!"

Then, a grown man's complaining voice, tinged with dialect, came through:

"I know, but don't you know how much money the body of a healthy, homeless boy who's never done drugs can fetch?"

Wow!

Only then did Rose realize that he had narrowly escaped death during the time he was unconscious.

If he were handed over to the group that collects corpses, what good would that do?

Even if they're alive, they have to be made to look dead.

And being killed so directly is considered a good ending.

If they discover he's alive, and they see his golden vertical pupils and recognize him as a believer, then we're truly doomed.

When he was very young, he witnessed a believer being burned alive after a wooden stick was pierced through his mouth and out his body.

He had also killed more than a dozen nobles, and when he was captured, he was left with no one to turn to for help.

This world truly has magic, and healing magic possesses an immediate healing ability far surpassing the medical skills of his previous life, allowing him to experience what it means to wish he were dead.

Thinking of this, Rose's eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at the little girl.

The little girl didn't take her father's words seriously and made a face at him.

"Hehe, I don't care!"

Then, a grown man who bore a striking resemblance to the little girl came into Rose's view.

The man was thin, with messy brown hair, and the veins on the back of his hands and arms were bulging because he was too thin and tired.

He was holding some food in his hands; the father and daughter had clearly just received relief.

He looked at Rossai warily, speaking coldly to him in broken local dialect:

"Now that you're awake, you'd better leave. You're not welcome here."

Rose nodded in understanding.

In fact, Rose already knew the identities of the father and daughter.

Smuggled immigrants.

His awkward accent, brown hair and eyes, and living under a bridge all hinted at this.

Rose was able to figure it out because her mother had complained about it at home.

In recent years, due to the war, the number of illegal immigrants in the magic city has been increasing. As undocumented immigrants, they cannot participate in formal work and can only sell their labor at extremely low prices.

Rose's parents were no better off. Although they were not fanatical believers and their bodies did not undergo any abnormalities, they were still novice believers and belonged to the category of believers.

I just don't know which two Sao Furi believers his parents follow, because they always carry Rose's name with them when they pray.

Despite having the backing of the Self-Nature All-Spirit Cult, they could only secretly do some illegal work.

Naturally, the influx of cheap illegal immigrants made it increasingly difficult for Rose's parents to earn money, forcing them to rely on the church for assistance.

Rose stretched her stiff body, struggled to her feet, and bowed to the father and daughter:

"I will repay your life-saving grace in the future."

The father and daughter were somewhat surprised by Rose's authentic Lovellian accent and rather proper manners.

What a load of bull! Rose was raised as a Star Fury from a young age. How can you stowaways who can't survive compare to him?

If someone misbehaves or offends the nobles with their broken dialect, who will take responsibility?

However, Rose's etiquette was indeed poor; she accidentally knocked a nobleman to death with a few punches.

Then, Rose got up and staggered towards the outside of the bridge arch.

Just then, the little girl walked up to Rose, broke off a piece of bread from her bag, and handed it to Rose.

Looking at Rose with bright, brown eyes, he said:

"Here, take this and eat it first, remember to return it to me later."

Her father, seeing this, was clearly anxious and shouted:

"Tianna! That's the food we finally managed to get after queuing up!"

Tiana said dismissively:

"Dad, the person who distributed supplies today has already left. He's so weak now, he won't get any supplies or food, he won't live much longer."

Her father's face turned red, and he hesitated to speak.

What he really meant was that even if he were given food, he wouldn't survive; a child alone in a slum, his fate was almost sealed.

Seeing Rose standing there dumbfounded, she handed him the bread again, saying with a hint of complaint:

"Take it~"

Rose took the bread, pursed her lips, and said:

"Thanks."

Tiana smiled at him as he took it.

As Rose looked at the girl's smiling face, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Seeing this, Tiana's father scratched his head in despair and said:

"Why don't you stay for a couple of days? I don't want this bread to go to waste."

Rose shook her head and refused:

"I've already caused you a lot of trouble, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the bridge arch.
