Magic, Evil Gods, and the Fourth Calamity

Eileen nodded in response to the pastors and couldn't help but ask them about the situation.

"What's going on with them?"

Eileen was referring to the rebels who were kneeling on the ground, constantly praying to the idol.

Upon hearing this, the pastors looked at each other strangely. Finally, one of the girls spoke up: "They said they just came to church for their daily prayers."

"Daily prayers?"

Eileen looked up at the temple dome, through which she saw the star-studded night sky, her delicate face filled with confusion.

"Now?"

It was late at night.

Daily prayer is simply bowing down to a god's image and praising the god without any purpose, asking for protection.

In the words of players, it's about daily check-ins to get buffs.

"Yes!"

The young priest nodded, then couldn't help but yawn, her tone filled with uncontrollable helplessness and weariness.

"..."

Eileen didn't know what to say at this moment, after all, the other party had come to kneel and pay homage to the master, and she couldn't drive these guys away.

Just as she was thinking this, an ethereal divine oracle echoed in Eileen's mind.

From this moment forward, daily prayer time will be fixed between sunrise and sunset. Anyone who prays outside of this time will be considered disrespectful to God and will be punished by the church priests!

Except for the brave. 】

The ethereal oracle descended, and Eileen looked at the statue of the God of Light with slight surprise. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but although the oracle was ethereal and solemn, she noticed that the deity seemed to be having a fit of morning grumpiness…

Does that person also have morning grumpiness?

Eileen shook her head to clear her mind, and then saw the girl beside her run to a corner of the temple, grab a broom, and furiously startle the rebels.

"You ungrateful bastard, take this Holy Slash! Your daily prayers are over before dawn!!!"

Take this Holy Slash!

Eileen remembered that this was a favorite saying of heroes who chose the knight class, although the so-called Holy Slash should actually be called Holy Light Slash...

Of course, this young priestess doesn't know this move. Theoretically, a priest of light can learn this move, but this young priestess is only level 6. At present, she can only summon Holy Light Protection to strengthen her body and make herself look more intimidating.

Hmm, this person has a really bad temper when they wake up!

Eileen nodded, watching the group of people who had been disturbing the peace in the middle of the night being chased out of the temple by the priest with brooms, completely bewildered.

This left a player who was trying to shop at the store stunned.

Since he was dressed in prayer attire while shopping, he wondered if this counted as daily prayer, and whether the pastor would spank him with a broom...

Hey!

Thinking of this, the player excitedly rushed into the church, deliberately adopting a prayer posture, and looked expectantly at the priestess holding a broom.

The priestess, having vented her anger, didn't notice the player's actions, only realizing that her behavior just now seemed somewhat disrespectful to the gods.

She wanted to repent but was caught in a dilemma because of the previous oracle, so she turned to Eileen for help.

"It's alright, He doesn't care about these things!"

Eileen saw through the pastor girl's thoughts and offered this comforting remark.

Then Eileen looked to the side, where the expectant player frowned slightly, and finally left only one sentence.

"Please do as you please, Hero."

After saying this, Eileen left with the priests, leaving the player alone and disappointed.

I thought some special cutscene had been triggered!

……

"It's done!"

The players' temporary campsite is nestled in the dense forest.

Looking at his fully filled experience bar and the bronze-level promotion qualification voucher in the virtual items, Chang Ye did not sleep and decisively clicked the promotion button.

The next moment, a warm current surged from his chest, causing him to tremble involuntarily.

"Mmm~"

The cries were exceptionally enchanting.

"Not bad, that cry has a third of the allure it had when Sigu advanced! Too bad it's a boy!"

The wind from the pig's mouth, pressing against the chicken's head, offered a very subjective evaluation from the side. But the little gugugugu beside him blushed, raised the staff that was as tall as a person, and used the end inlaid with half a pound of gemstones to smash the ugly chicken's head.

A critical hit landed on the spot, taking away half of the Wind from the Pig's Mouth's health. The Ranger's body is inherently fragile, and the head is a weak point that is easily critically hit. This staff strike almost sent Wind from the Pig's Mouth back to the fountain.

"Damn it, I, a ranger, got nearly killed by a friendly mage! This game's balance is terrible! When are they going to add a button to turn off friendly fire?!"

The wind above the pig's mouth was howling, and seeing that Long Night Sleepless had finished his promotion and stretched his body, it quickly went over to him.

"Brother Changye, how's it going?"

"Not bad. I feel like my base stats have improved a lot. I've been promoted to Holy Knight and gained a pretty good passive trait."

As he spoke through the long, sleepless night, he scrolled up his attribute panel.

[ID: Sleepless Night]

Race: Human

[Class: Holy Knight]

[Level: LV31 (Bronze)]

Experience: 0/200000

[Skills: Holy Light Slash, Holy Light Healing, Holy Light Shield, Divine Enchantment, Shield of Reach...]

[Special Feature: Blessed by Holy Light - The effects of Light Magic will be enhanced]

Although it's already in closed beta 2.0 and the game has been updated with several patches, the character data in this game is still so simplistic. But thankfully, I've gotten used to this kind of game design.

Playing the game recently has given me a deep understanding of what the game "Otherworld Online" really means by its claim of 100% realism during its promotion!

Now, those who are more familiar with certain operations, like those who never sleep during the night, have turned off the game panel during battles and are fighting solely based on some kind of "intuition" or "instinct".

It was as if he had truly become a person living in another world, and this guy named Sleepless Night was a Holy Knight who had truly mastered extraordinary power.

The feeling was strange, yet inexplicably pleasant, as if he had truly lived a second life outside of his life on Earth.

Sleepless nights sometimes make me wonder if those so-called reincarnations in other worlds are really nothing special!

Moreover, how many protagonists reincarnated in other worlds can keep trying and failing by dying like the player, and have a large group of like-minded peers?

"I feel like I could beat ten times my past self!"

During this long, sleepless night, I feel an overwhelming sense of power within myself.

"Alright, next time you lead the charge, I'll cover the rear!"

The wind on the pig's mouth laughed as it spoke, but combined with the bizarre chicken head, it looked utterly lewd.

He selectively ignored this sordid behavior and nodded with a rather magnanimous air.

"no problem!"

Unfortunately, the Holy Knight's current role in the game is that of a tank.

Although when a knight is promoted to Bronze, they can sacrifice the ability to shield teammates, thus becoming an offensive Blood Knight who can buff themselves and their teammates with attack buffs.

However, in the long run, the Holy Knight, who can both withstand attacks and deal damage, is the best choice, as the existence of the Blood Knight overlaps somewhat with the Warrior class.

In battle, it is always the others who have to carry the burden!
