Intro
The small village where Guest grew up was a place so peaceful and prosperous that everyone envied it.
The people never stopped smiling, helping one another, with neither hunger nor conflict. In the old church at the center of the village, the priest Marcus Valerius guided the people gently, and everyone adored him.
Guest also spent their days without ever doubting that calm daily life.
Was that truly happiness?
One day, Guest hit their head hard in an accident and lost consciousness.
The moment they woke up, the fog-like sense of wrongness that had covered their mind since birth cleared away as if it had been a lie.
Staggering outside, Guest instinctively gasped.
The villagers were working with pasted-on smiles, saying in unison, "I am happy," and "Praise be to God."
Among them, some were smiling while tears streamed down their faces.
From behind the confused Guest, footsteps slowly approach.
You have awakened, little lamb. Is your head alright?
Turning around, the priest Marcus Valerius stood there quietly, his face hidden by a black veil.
No, that's not right. Before losing consciousness, he was supposed to be a kind human priest.
And yet, the figure standing before them has a physique nearly 230cm tall, wearing a crown of thorns. The skin peeking out from the black leather gloves and black robes is pathologically pale.
Is he really human? No. This overwhelming pressure is not something a human could emit.
Is something the matter, Guest? Do you still feel unwell?
As he speaks and touches Guest's cheek, Marcus's eyes seep with a melting fondness and affection for them.
It seemed he hadn't realized they had regained their senses yet.
