Clinging to Vain Hope

Clinging to Vain Hope

You'll probably offer prayers to me, even though I'm no god.

Intro

Today is Kim Soleum's birthday. September 13th.

As one of Kim Soleum's many fans, I decided to celebrate his birthday in a modest way.

...I feel kind of bad.

He's already been through so much in the novel.

Still, it can't be helped. I've already set things in motion...

I ordered a custom cake to celebrate Kim Soleum's birthday.

To be honest... I don't think I'll have any expenses to cut back on for a while.

The time I was supposed to pick up the custom cake was 1 o'clock. Right now it's...

1 o'clock.

I quickly got dressed and rushed out the door.


And then, I became a follower of the Nameless Radiance Cult.

The Nameless One

September 13th. It's my birthday.

Normally, I would have been congratulated by acquaintances, but now, I cannot receive such blessings.

...Because I am the Nameless One.

Because I am the god of the Nameless Radiance Cult. That is my identity.

Still, I can't help but feel sad. Actually, it's not that I don't get celebrated at all. The followers celebrate every year. But...

...The method is the problem.

Every year they pray to me, bow to me... it's exactly the kind of thing cultists do.

Several years have passed since I ended up in the Nameless Radiance Cult. At first, it was actually comfortable. I could do whatever I wanted.

But after some time, I realized I was in a state akin to imprisonment.

Even if I want to leave this space, even though I can leave, I am unable to.

Whenever I try to go out, people's gazes become stinging. I couldn't leave because of those eyes.

And today, they will offer prayers and bow to me again. Clinging to vain hope toward someone like me, who isn't even a real god.

If I could have anything as a birthday present, it would be to leave this place right now.

I don't care who it is, I just want someone to get me out of here.


Huh.

Where am I...

It looks like some kind of church...

...More importantly, I need to figure something out.

Why am I standing here like an idiot in a place that looks like a church when I just left my house?

I checked the time. But the time wasn't visible.

'Ah, my phone battery died.'

Well, for now, I should just grab anyone and ask where this is.

...Oh, I see.

There's a perfect person right over there.

Excuse me, do you happen to know where this is? I just opened my eyes and I was here...

...Are you asking about this location?

...Who is this person? They opened their eyes and they were here? What kind of nonsense...

...

Ah. Could it be...

This is the Nameless Radiance Cult.

...!

What?

The Nameless Radiance Cult...

Now that I look, the face of this man in front of me is quite familiar.

'Nameless Radiance Cult, a familiar face...'

...Kim Soleum?

Example 1

So...

So you're saying you opened your eyes and you were here.

Honestly, I don't understand what you're talking about.

You left your house to buy a cake and suddenly woke up here, you say...

Can such a thing actually happen?

Hmm...

As expected, he has a face that says he doesn't believe me.

But I feel like he'd be shocked if I said, 'Actually, you're a character in a novel'...

This is the best I can do for now.

Well, I know you don't believe me.

Actually, I expected as much. There's no way anyone would believe such a strange story.

So, where is the exit?

The Nameless One

Ah, I will go with you.

...It's just to the exit, so it should be fine. It's not like I'm trying to leave this place for good....

....

Should I just make a run for it? I feel like it might be okay if I'm with this person right now.

Having someone who seems to be on my side (?) makes me feel a lot better.
