What she has to do is inherit the church's magic and fight against cults and the evil gods' followers.

She continues until her sanity drops to a critical point, then dies peacefully, and the selection of the next saintess continues.

But Anna did not regret it, because she saw that because of her existence, tens of thousands of families were saved.

that's enough.

She was prepared to die at any moment.

But just now, she discovered that her sanity had returned somewhat! And all because of a strange boy saying "thank you."

"Lisa, use the Appraisal spell on me again."

"Huh?" Lisa was taken aback for a moment, but she did as she was told, and soon Anna's panel appeared.

Name: Anna

[Level: 57]

【Occupation: Radiant Saintess】

【HP: 100%】

[Sanity: 20-25 / The recovery of sanity gradually distances you from the evil god and his followers, which enrages the beings in the darkness.]

"Ah! What's going on?"

Lisa was stunned.

Everyone knew that sanity could not be restored, but the Holy Maiden actually restored five points in front of her.

Anna quickly turned to look at Lynn, a flame of hope burning in her eyes.

"Could you... say thank you to me again?"

Lynn was already thinking about how to find a job and survive in this world that was so hostile to her.

Suddenly, he heard the great saint speaking to him. He paused for two seconds, then said thank you as she instructed.

The next second, Anna noticed that her sanity had actually increased by two points.

This time there weren't as many as the first time, but that led Anna to a guess.

—Perhaps simply helping the other person sincerely and receiving their gratitude will restore your sanity.

With this in mind, Anna decided to give it a try.

"Lisa, go and buy some more bread."

Soon Lisa came over with another bag of bread. Anna personally placed the bread in Lynn's arms and then stepped back a short distance away.

"Um... thank you, but there's too much bread, I'm afraid it will spoil if I don't finish it," Lynn said instinctively.

Anna's beautiful brows furrowed slightly; this time, Lynn's gratitude did not restore her sanity.

Does it have to be what he needs right now?

What does Lynn need right now?

Anna pondered for a moment, remembering that Lynn was still homeless, and then asked, "You probably don't have anywhere to go right now, do you?"

"Yeah, nobody wants to give me a job."

Lynn sounded a little disappointed as he spoke, but soon his eyes widened in surprise.

“In that case, would you like to become my servant? I will give you a certain amount of pay every month,” Anna said gently.

Lynn was practically overwhelmed with joy. After wandering for so many days, his miserable days were finally coming to an end! He was more than willing to serve as a servant to such a beautiful young woman.

He considered that the beautiful girl in front of him might be lying to him, but so what? She had genuinely saved his life, and even if the situation got worse, how much worse could it get?

"I do! Thank you so much!"

"Then come with me."

Anna's world suddenly brightened considerably, and her sanity returned to ten points, giving her hope to survive.

As long as she helps Lynn and receives his gratitude, her sanity will eventually be fully restored!

But she also began to worry about something.

It's simple to get Lynn's gratitude right now: just meet her survival needs.

But what about the future? What if Lynn's needs change from mere survival to something else? Will she still have to meet them?

Anna kept thinking about this question throughout the journey.

Anna assigned Lisa to be Lynn's guide, leading him to the church and answering some of his questions.

After some questioning, Lynn finally learned from Anna why he was called the cursed child and why everyone hated him.

He initially found it inexplicable, but now he could understand it. After all, he now possessed a sanity-reducing aura, and no one dared to approach him.

"My name is Lisa, and Her Highness's name is Anna. Please take care of me from now on."

Lisa's attitude was much milder than at the beginning, as she knew that Lynn was the key to Anna's recovery of her sanity, so she dared not be negligent in the slightest.

They answered every question along the way, and their conversation only stopped when they arrived at the church.

It wasn't because Lynn had nothing left to ask, but because he was once again being stared at by those unfriendly eyes.

"Isn't that the cursed child? How come he's with Her Highness the Holy Maiden?"

Chapter 3 Brightness Adjuster?

"From this day forward, Lynn will be my servant. You must not be disrespectful!"

Anna sternly rebuked those who harbored ill will towards Lynn and personally led Lynn into the church.

Seeing the surprised and astonished looks on the faces of the clergy, Lynn unconsciously straightened his back.

It feels really good to have someone stand up for you.

"Next..." Anna was about to take Lynn to a room to settle down when a priest in a wide white robe came running down the corridor.

"Your Highness, the bishop and other representatives of various races are having a meeting."

"Didn't you say the meeting wouldn't start until I got back?"

"This..." The pastor was speechless.

Anna looked pale.

Lynn, standing nearby, also saw through Anna's current predicament.

On the way, he asked Lisa many questions, including some information about Anna.

Anna's sanity is currently nearing its limit.

Within the church, she is merely a pawn whose value is about to be completely drained; once her sanity is depleted, she will be ruthlessly discarded.

There's no need to maintain the relationship anymore.

This can be seen from the fact that the bishop started the meeting before Anna, the current saint.

Lynn even thought that the other party couldn't wait for Anna to die so that they could quickly install the next saintess.

If Anna were to die, he would lose his protection and continue to wander.

This is something Lynn doesn't want to see.

Besides, Anna is such a kind person, and she even saved his life. He was unwilling to stand by and watch Anna be used as a sacrifice.

But what can an ordinary person like him do?

Just as Lynn was lamenting, a line of golden panels appeared.

Name: Lynn

[Sanity Value: 100+/-]

[Upward fluctuation: 17 points]

[Sinking Points: 40]

"Is this my system?!"

Lynn was overjoyed. He hadn't expected the system to appear when he was starving, but now it had.

Perhaps I unknowingly fulfilled some condition.

Lynn did not think deeply about what the condition was.

He couldn't wait to start trying out his system.

"The data has addition and subtraction after it, so this must be a point addition system."

"But the attribute points aren't the usual strength and agility, but rather sanity?"

Lynn had asked Lisa about the sanity system in this world, and to sum it up, "When your sanity is high, you're safe; when it's low, you'll attract monsters."

He now seems to be able to freely adjust his sanity level.

"Let's try somewhere safe."

Thinking of this, Lynn looked at Lisa not far away: "I'm a little tired, can you take me to my room to rest first?"

Lisa looked at Anna with a questioning gaze, and Anna calmly nodded: "I also need to go to the meeting."

Lisa then led Lynn away.

The church was very large, and the two of them were only on the first floor. They wandered around the corridors several times before finally finding their place.

If it weren't for Lisa, Lynn felt she would have gotten lost on the spot.

"We're here. This will be your room from now on. I'll stay next door. Come find me anytime if you need anything."

"No problem. I'll take a nap. Miss Lisa, you can go about your business from now on."

Lynn went into the room and closed the door.

The room was simply furnished with only a single bed, a desk, and two bookshelves. There weren't many books on the shelves, and they were all related to the church, which Lynn wasn't very interested in.

He went straight to the bedside, sat down, and tapped the "+" sign in the system's sanity section with his finger.

[Sanity Value: 100-101]

According to Lisa, a person's sanity can only reach a maximum of 100 points, but Lynn has reached 101 points at this moment.

The fact that his sanity had exceeded its limit only brought him a little more light in the world.

"Is it just brightness adjustment?"

Lynn refused to believe it and clicked the "+" sign again.

The world has become a little brighter.

Lynn clicked repeatedly.

The world continues to brighten.

When Lynn raised his sanity to 110 points, the world had turned into a white expanse.

"Holy crap, it's really just a brightness adjuster?"

Lynn stubbornly continued clicking, only to find that he couldn't click anymore when his sanity reached 117 points.

This range is exactly equal to the floating-point number on the panel.

He guessed that the points that rose and fell were the range he could adjust towards his sanity, but he wasn't quite sure how those points were obtained.

Just as Lynn was trying to recall the details, something unusual happened beside him.

There was the sound of flapping wings, and white feathers landed on Lynn's shoulder.

Lynn subconsciously looked up and could only see a blurry figure floating above his head, which he could vaguely make out to be human-shaped.

"Losing sanity leads to encountering monsters, increasing sanity... Could this thing be an angel?"

Lynn had a bold guess, but he couldn't be sure.

To be sure, he probably needs to raise his sanity to 120. Maybe when he reaches 120, he can see it clearly.

As for what will happen after seeing the angel.
