I'm really not a Sanctuary Warlock.

I'm really not a Sanctuary Warlock.

Author: This Thought Meets Spring

Summary:

After transmigrating, Lynn became a cursed child whom everyone hated.

People who get close to him will lose their minds and go insane.

Just as he was on the verge of death, he discovered that he could manually adjust his sanity.

[Sanity: 70 / You have heard the whispers of an evil god; His minions are lusting after your flesh in the shadows.]

[Sanity: 19 / The world has been completely distorted; the breathing catgirl is actually a tentacle-covered alien.]

.....

After a while, Lynn looked at the women fawning over him.

Bad news: Lynn really did break them down.

Good news: It's not rationality.

Chapter One: There Must Be Milk and Bread

"Damn cursed child! You're not welcome here!"

A hard rock slammed into Lynn's shoulder, sending a piercing pain through him.

But what tormented him more than the stones was the bakery owner's hateful gaze.

"I just want a job..."

Lynn wanted to say those words, but the other party didn't have the patience to listen to his explanation and threw more stones at him.

He could only cover his head and flee in a sorry state into a small alley.

The alley was unusually quiet, but Lynn's restless heartbeat could not be calmed.

This is the umpteenth time that he has ever tried to connect with other people, only to be met with disgust and alienation.

From the city's nobles to the poor living in the muddy alleys, everyone called him the "Son of the Curse".

Lynn didn't know where this name came from, nor did she understand this unfamiliar world.

All he knew was that on an ordinary night, he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep as usual.

When I opened my eyes again, everything had changed.

Before them lay a strange city resembling medieval Europe, with humans dressed in odd costumes, as well as catgirls, elves, dwarves, and other alien races walking the streets.

Lynn once thought he had been transported to another world, a world with a similar worldview to the toilet paper.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will likely become an adventurer and embark on his own harem adventure in another world.

However, an unexpected incident occurred!

When Lynn finally found the Adventurers' Guild, he had barely exchanged a few words with the friendly clerk when the clerk pointed at him in terror and called him the cursed son.

Before Lynn could find out the reason, a group of adventurers knocked him unconscious and sent him to the city's prison.

He thought his identity as a time traveler had been discovered, and that he would be tortured and studied. However, after only half a day, he was dramatically released. But everyone in the city seemed to suddenly recognize him and began to deliberately keep their distance.

In this unfamiliar world, Lynn had no job to support himself, no house to shelter from the rain, and even when he walked on the street, children would throw stones at him.

To this day, he is utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

"This is such an egg-filled world!"

"I'm so hungry!"

Lynn clutched her stomach, curled up in the corner, her body seemingly blending into the shadows of the wall.

His consciousness grew increasingly hazy, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and he felt as if he were about to fall into an eternal sleep.

In a half-dreaming, half-awake state, he heard someone speaking not far from him.

"Is he the cursed child?"

"Yes, Your Highness, he was recently taken to prison as a cult spy, but after investigation, it was found that he was just an ordinary person of level one."

However, he does possess a trait similar to that of an evil god—getting close to him will lower one's sanity, so Your Highness, please stay away from him.

"He's a pitiful man, let's give him some milk and bread."

The conversation stopped, and after a short while, Lynn suddenly smelled a sweet aroma, like freshly baked bread and rich, creamy milk.

Hunger prompted him to pry open his heavy eyelids, and he was surprised to find a large bag of bread and a steaming can of milk next to him.

At the alley entrance, a pure-looking blonde woman was quietly watching him. She was wearing a white, fitted long dress, and although her face was expressionless, Lynn saw pity and compassion deep in her eyes.

Unlike the rest of the world who loathed themselves, she brought herself life-saving milk and bread.

That must be an angel!

Lynn understood the principle of gratitude, and he immediately got up to go over and thank her in person.

However, the next second, a cold longsword was instantly placed against his vulnerable neck.

Lynn's pupils contracted as he caught a glimpse of a cold-eyed nun standing beside him.

"Approaching Her Highness is forbidden, otherwise..."

The nun was issuing a sharp warning when her expression suddenly changed. She quickly distanced herself from Lynn and then silently chanted "Appraisal Spell."

A blue, illusory light screen appeared before her eyes.

Name: Lisa

[Level: 38]

[Occupation: Punishing Nun]

【HP: 100%】

[Sanity: 73-68 / You can now vaguely hear the whispers of the evil god; His followers have already set their sights on you.]

……

Lisa's expression changed drastically upon realizing her situation.

After only a few seconds of contact with Lynn, her sanity dropped from 73 points, which was above the safety line, to 68 points.

This is a dangerous number.

In this world, a person is safe when their sanity level is above 70.

But when the sanity value drops below 70 points, the world as perceived by this person will change.

For example, Lisa at this moment.

The world she once saw was colorful, with everything having its own color.

But at this moment, everything turned into an eerie gray-white, like an uncolored painting, even the sun in the sky.

But that wasn't what made her nervous. What really made her nervous was the chilling whispers in her ear and the writhing darkness in the shadows of the corner.

A piercing croaking sound rang out, and a giant toad covered in fleshy growths crawled out of the shadows, flicking its thick tongue at Lisa.

From Lynn's perspective, he only saw the nun's face change from cold to tense, then to terrified, and then her body was as if it were wrapped up by something unseen, slamming against the wall of the house next to her again and again.

The wall shattered, and Lisa let out a painful groan.

Upon seeing this, the saintess hesitated for a moment, but quickly became resolute.

"The Holy Spear of Light!"

A spear of light, as intense and pure as sunlight, appeared in the saintess's palm. She then hurled this powerful spear into the air, as if it had struck something.

Lisa, who had been caught in mid-air, fell down, but the first thing she did when she got up was not to check her condition, but to look at the saintess with concern and cast an appraisal spell.

Name: Anna

[Level: 57]

【Occupation: Radiant Saintess】

【HP: 100%】

[Sanity: 22-20 / The evil god is calling you; you are about to see His outline. His truly powerful kin are eyeing you covetously, waiting only for the right opportunity to send you back to the evil god's embrace.]

"Your Highness!"

Lisa was filled with regret. If she had known that her recklessness would lead to a loss of reason and attract the evil god's followers, she should not have acted rashly, forcing the saintess to take action.

After killing the evil god's followers, the saintess's already pitifully low sanity level dropped even further. Once her sanity level falls below 20 points, she will attract an even more powerful evil god's followers hidden in the darkness.

Something could happen to her at any moment!

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."

"Let's go back and check your injuries."

Anna gave a gentle smile, acting as if nothing had happened, and gestured for Lisa to walk out of the alley.

Seeing them about to leave, Lynn, who had just experienced everything, didn't know what to say. He glanced at the milk and bread on the ground and sincerely said,

"Thank you!"

Anna stopped in her tracks, and the pitch-black world before her seemed to brighten a little.

Chapter Two: The Holy Maiden's Attendant

Anna did many things in her life that she regretted, but there was also one thing she was proud of.

That is to become a saint of the Holy Light Church.

……

Anna was born in a small village on the outskirts of the kingdom.

The entire village has fewer than a hundred people. They rely on farming and hunting for survival. Although their lives are simple, they are also happy because of it.

She had imagined her future, and perhaps one day she would find someone she liked and get married, just like her mother and aunt.

Washing clothes, cooking, and maybe a lovely child, or even two.

But everything changed after that day...

The fanatical cultists slaughtered everyone in the village in order to hold a grand sacrifice for the evil god. She and her mother hid in the house and saw through the crack in the door her father, who was working in the fields, and those close to her dying under the knife.

Blood stained the soil red.

At the last moment before the door was broken down, the mother hid her in the wine cellar, while she herself picked up a hoe and charged towards the cult members.

The sword pierced her chest, and her falling body conveniently covered the hidden door of the wine cellar where she was hiding, thus saving her life.

The kingdom's army arrived late, not until the ceremony was over.

The expressions on their faces were so nonchalant, as if what had died was not a person, but a swarm of ants.

Anna was deeply hurt. She was sent to an orphanage under the church and did simple handicrafts with the other children day after day, but the money ended up in the director's pocket.

She thought the world was absolutely terrible.

If she were the king, she would never have governed the kingdom like this, allowing her subjects to suffer such calamities.

The opportunity will come soon.

The church selects saintesses.

This was a tremendous opportunity for Anna; perhaps if she could climb to that position, she could make everything the way she wanted it to be.

She thought many people would compete with her, but she was the only one who wanted to climb to that position.

It wasn't until later that Anna learned from others that the saintess was merely a high-ranking, disposable object.

As we all know, once sanity is lost, it cannot be recovered.
