Light, the man saw the light, the light he loved... He slightly opened his mouth, as Roy's "Light Transformation" penetrated his body in an instant, life unfolded like a canvas, spreading over his not very calm, even dark heart....
His name was Riberi Garcia, the second son of the Garcia family in the Samir Principality.
According to the [God]-granted military power, the nobles were divided into [Duke] [Earl] [Marquis] [Viscount] [Baron],
The Garcia family, noble as viscounts, enjoys the [Fourth Degree Protection]. In addition to independently awakening Nenryoku through opening the Acupoints, they can also inherit a [Nenryoku amount] and a new [Awakening] opportunity through this protection, becoming a powerful "Lord Viscount" with dual Nenryoku.
Naturally, as a child of the Garcia Viscount, Riberi was demoted by one degree, granted the title of [Baron], unable to enjoy the [Fourth Degree Protection] like his father. But born a [Baron], he could, like other [Barons], pray to [God], undergo the baptism of Lord Bishop, and be granted the [Fifth Degree Protection], which is—
A [Nenryoku amount].
"Thank [Thunder] for the grace of rain,"
Riberi swore that no one could refuse the [Protection], and no one could refuse power!
When he was young, after opening the Acupoints and awakening Nenryoku, he underwent the baptism of Lord Bishop, namely Benjamin Federick, and indeed found that his "Nenryoku amount" inexplicably doubled. He once naively asked his "teaching mentor" the reason... The mentor pointed a finger to the sky and told him:
"Everything is arranged by God."
God... For the first time, Riberi had a real sense of the name he had heard since childhood. He remembered clearly... the devout worship of his "teaching mentor",
the mentor placed his right hand on his chest and uttered, "Thunder above,"
sternly warning him: "Do not offend God, just remember... He is the lord who created everything, the real monarch who personally created the Principality of Samir, the great being who can turn all illusions into reality...."
Just like many countless fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, servants, maids around him, honoring, loving, fearing God, pledging allegiance to [Thunder], never betraying, until...
He discovered his father cheating with a maid, heard she was pregnant, and ordered his chief guard to secretly deal with it,
discovered his mother having an affair with the chief guard, caught by his father, the three intertwined on the big bed,
discovered his usually gentle and kind sister, who, behind closed doors, always liked to torment her maids, often killing a batch and then replacing them,
discovered his older brother Ulysses being two-faced, often secretly enjoying shady dealings with some guards,
Riberi was confused,
He didn't understand,
He couldn't figure it out,
He instinctively resisted, yet a voice emerged in his heart, like a devil tempting him... to join!
When did it start... "Who are you, and why are you in my heart?" That rainy night, Riberi gradually went insane.....
He remembered, it was the [Baptism], it was the [Protection] within him causing havoc... He couldn't believe it, foolishly locked himself in the room, not eating or drinking, until his father came to the door, ordered the chief guard to break open the door, dragged him out, and threw him on a woman's bed, commanding him: "Take her!"
Riberi's eyes were bloodshot, panting heavily, suddenly raising his eyes to look... and saw his biological mother, the one intertwined with his father's chief guard, naked, eyes seductive as silk, reaching out to him invitingly: "Riberi, come over, come to mama's arms."
Boom! Riberi Garcia instantly felt as if something exploded in his head!
Chaos, disorder, madness, insanity, like giant hands strangling his throat, choking him, forcing him to, in a flash, crash through the glass, and rush into the torrential rain!
"Mad... hahaha... they're all mad...." The pouring rain soaked Riberi to the skin.
The man stumbled, disregarding the shock of passersby, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, staggering all the way to a magnificent cathedral. Looking up, he could see the dome reaching into the sky and the huge [Lightning] mark... Riberi, in his baron form, bypassed the guards' scrutiny, found Benjamin in the prayer hall praying to lightning, his knees buckled, prostrating himself at Benjamin's feet...
"God... please guide me, what should I do... what should I do?"
"Boom crack~" Thunder rumbled loudly outside the window, Riberi looked up to see Benjamin turning around, gently stroking his head, smiling and saying: "Poor child, you must be confused, God has heard your prayers and sent revelation."
"Victor, take him down, you know what to do."
"Yes!" The Kinoe rattled, and in a daze, Riberi felt himself being picked up by someone, dazedly brought to his senses, and was thrown into a dark room. He heard that knight burst out in a mischievous laugh: "Good luck, kid, make your choice."
"Pfft~" A lamp lit up in the dim room, Riberi, wet, raised his head, and saw rows of girls, naked, hands and feet tied and suspended by a rope from the beam, like rag dolls, swaying silently in the breeze... Riberi lowered his eyelids, broken........
He propped up his body, not to look at those girls, just kept his head down, saying to the Lord Knight: "I'm ready."
