The Tutorial Is Too Hard

[Aren't you going after him?]

Seeing the god of hope running away from his sanctuary, Ceresia asked.

I won't go after him, then.

I don't even know where I'm going, but how do I follow them?

I extracted a lot of information from the god of the impersonation.

Now that I know all the realms of the god of hope, I can destroy them one by one rather than chase them down.

“You might be tempted to play hide-and-seek. Destroy them one by one, and the god of hope will have nowhere to run. ”

[Excellent judgment.]

“What?"

Ceresia did not tolerate it.

I'm getting a strange feeling.

I thought it was my mood, so I passed.

The shrine of the god of hope has clearly achieved its value for its name.

It collapsed completely in both rooms, leaving only building debris.

I was surprised that it didn't completely turn to ash.

It was not normal strength.

I picked out the relatively healthy ones from the rubble of the building and put them into the subspace.

[What are you doing?]

“I'm going to get some materials. I'll ask Yong-yong to make my temple with this later. ”

[You're good.]

I don't think so.

I hope that the feeling of the god of hope will be a bit shitty.

As you clear the debris like that, you find useful materials, and a red wall emerges.

A bright red brick is embedded in the ruins of the temple, which is made of only white.

Even the red wall was intact, as if it hadn't been affected by the blast.

I was curious and looked through the wall.

It was not difficult to penetrate.

It was a wall that survived the blast of sea-bam, but it could easily penetrate the wall by condensing the force to its core.

You draw a large circle as you go, making a hole in it.

The place was packed with strange machines I had never seen before.

And there was one thing that was lurking in between the machines.

It was human.

“Hey, you want to get hit and dragged out, or do you want to just come out and get hit? ”

“If you don't hit me, I'll leave! ”

A very rational answer came back.

“Yeah, I'm not gonna hit you. ”

“Yep!"

The man who was hiding among the machines revealed himself.

He was acting human, but not ordinary.

Well, you'd be in a place like this, an apostle of God of hope.

It was understandable.

“Heheh... You're not going to hit me, are you? ”

Of course I will.

You punch the knee of the man smiling down.

On the contrary, a broken leg bone protrudes from the inside of the broken knee.

The apostle of the god of hope collapsed and did not realize what was happening.

After looking at his knee a little later, he squeals to see if he feels any pain.

It was an intermittent scream, almost like squeezing a dried mop.

I grabbed the ankle of the broken leg of the apostle and ripped off the writhing leg.

The leg bones protruding from the knee look sharp and usable.

He put the leg bone against the neck of the apostle.

“I'm the one who decides whether to hit you or not. Then, depending on how I feel. Do you understand?”

The apostle nodded and replied with a seizure.

“Well, let's start with these machines. ”

That's what I said.

However, the apostle was moaning, rather than explaining whether the pain was too great.

“If you don't start your presentation soon, the pain will get worse. ”

* * *

After the other wrist disappeared, the apostle began to explain.

I wish I'd been better.

“This is... ”

The apostle points to the machine with his right hand, which has disappeared without his knowledge.

He pointed to the hem of his wrist.

The wrist is ripped off and lying on the floor.

“A device that monitors all parts of the Holy Land to manage the Holy Land. ”

It looked similar to Earth's CCTV.

There was one question.

“The god of hope doesn't need a device like this. ”

“God has appointed us rulers. ”

I don't think so.

If there are many sacred sites, so be it.

I left Yeon-hee on the 60th floor as an apostle.

By the way, I'm sure Lee Yeon-hee is doing well.

While I was thinking about something else, the apostle continued to explain.

“This way you can see inside the rooms of the people upstairs. ”

A huge screen reflects the people living on the top of the hourglass.

Every room people lived in was about the size of a container.

It wasn't small enough for a room.

“The people who live there will never leave that room. ”

It was too small to say that it was all the world I could live in.

I had been locked up on the 60th floor for a long time, so I felt sorry for those trapped there.

“Everyone's locked up alone. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“Then how are you going to have a baby? ”

The apostle said that if two people proposed to be married by agreement, they would extract sperm and eggs and artificially conceive them while they slept.

It was an overly inhuman reproductive method.

“Ahhhh!”

I ripped off the apostle's right forearm.

“… I just told you the truth……! ”

That's upsetting.

But it was okay to be able to communicate among people.

The people in the room were looking at electronics that were similar to computers.

Some people sometimes looked at books, but most seemed to spend time communicating with each other via electronic devices.

“… but the child who was born that way will be cared for in the sanctuary until the age of 10, and then assigned a room at the top of the upper part. ”

And you're starting to live in cages.

Wait, they're in the sanctuary?

I widened my gaze and looked around.

It was the deepest part of the sanctuary where the children were.

Luckily, everyone seemed to be okay.

It looked like a kind of shelter.

The first sentries I encountered detected my intrusion and put it there.

I complimented them in my heart.

I already killed them all.

“What was that crash at the bottom? ”

I asked him the most curious question.

The apostle frowns for a moment.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to beat you up again.

“If you don't talk, you'll get hurt even more. ”

“… death. One room falls down every day. The bottom room crashes. It usually takes 10 to 25 years for the top room to fall. ”

“So you usually die between twenty and thirty-five. ”

“Yes, we call it life expectancy. ”

25 to 25.

It is too early to admit your own death and take the plunge.

No, it has nothing to do with age.

Who can stand death coming in plain sight every day?

“Instead, one person gets a random ascension every month. ”

“Ascension?”

“Yes, the God of Hope allows us to live in the Holy Land. Then you can be free from death. In fact, that's how I came up to the Sanctuary. ”

I saw people praying.

Now I know what they pray for.

You're praying for the ascension.

You were so fiercely devouring the faith of hope.

It was the believers, not the materials.

If there are still people left, the God of Hope will continue to squeeze the believers and create faith.

I'll steal the faithful, not the others.

[What are you taking ordinary people for?]

I don't really need to use it.

To think about it, it's for the tutorial stage.

I will receive the entire tutorial from the vaccine at any time.

And during the tutorial stage, there were many undeveloped comers.

Or where civilization had already fallen.

We can't just leave them there, so it shouldn't be too bad to let them live there.

[Maybe they want that.]

Well, I don't know.

I don't know.

Life beyond this place will surely be difficult for them.

There will be freedom, but some people will want comfort instead of freedom.

Still.

“I can't leave it like this. ”

It is not because of my notion that people should be free.

It is because their existence gives strength to the god of hope.

I projected myself into each room.

People were surprised at the sudden appearance of me, and I was surprised at the thought that I might.

I told people I'd get them out of this cramped room.

Of course, people were happy to know that I was referring to ascension.

“Oh... God, finally..." ”

“Thank you, thank you very much. ”

From the person who kneels and prays in front of my vision projected in the room to the person who gives thanks while crying.

There were a variety of people.

Some of them had a slightly unusual response.

She was a young woman.

Of course, most of the people here were young.

“... Can you take someone else with you? ”

I asked her.

[Who are you talking about?]

“This is my son. It's only 16, but it's further down than me. Please... ”

It seems that luck is applied slightly to falling down.

I can't believe he's further down than his mother.

I was curious about the age of the woman, by the way.

“Thirty-six.”

I was older than I thought.

Since it usually falls between twenty and thirty-five people die, it may be one of the oldest here.

It seemed okay to let her take care of people later.

[Your son will also go to a new holy place. Not just your son, everyone.]

The woman was moved.

He seemed happier to see his son in person than to say that everyone would ascend to heaven.

Some people ask different questions than women.

“… Can I not go? ”

Why?

I asked him roughly without thinking about maintaining my dignity.

“I... I just like it here. ”

[If you stay here, you will soon fall to your death.]

“Five more years to go. ”

The man said to snap.

He was an incredibly lazy guy.

[No. Fate is not something you can avoid because you don't like it.]

I recited a divine line like I did and ignored a man's request to leave him.

We have to send him to a rough place.

Hell difficulty was 12 floors.

When asked one by one, people began to ask all sorts of questions.

I don't know what's gonna happen, where I'm gonna go.

I answered as best I could.

It was not very helpful to God's majesty, but I wanted to give people a minimum explanation.

Among them, many people asked about this.

“Who... who are you? Who are you?”

“Are you really a god? Did you hear my prayer? ”

Anyone who doubted the existence of God had been to any world.

Even in a world where God himself was strong and active, it was no exception.

I answered them.

“Your God, and your hope. ”

I sent everyone into subspace.

Then Serena asked me a question.

[Is it okay to call yourself hope?]

It's all right.

Faith is a strange thing.

For them, hope is no longer a god of hope, but a man who meets and talks with his eyes.

Ambiguity protects God's authority, but it also confuses its direction.

According to the religion of the earth, there are many stories of worshippers who worshipped priests, not God.

People will regard me as a god of hope, not a god of hope they have never seen or heard of, but who has appeared and liberated them in their lifetime.

Now, denying the god of hope and establishing a new faith was too inefficient.

There's already a deep faith in people's heads.

It was easier to impersonate the name of hope and turn their faith towards me.

I put everyone in the subspace and even the children in the shelter.

Then, only me and the apostle remain in the holy place of hope.

“God, I will do my best to be loyal. Take me with you. ”

I fell to my knees and said,

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

“Do you know why I kept you alive? ”

“… Yes? ”

“The god of hope will see me through you. ”

“W-what is that……. No, I don't think such an extraordinary being……. ”

He introduced himself as a regular steward, but he couldn't.

Apostles are not ordinary believers.

Beyond the Sioux, there is a divine altercation.

He hears, sees and hears everything the god of hope sees and hears.

“I saved your life while watching you eat. ”

I quickly ran away and grabbed the apostle's head.

He turned his head and let me look him in the eye and said,

Towards the god of hope beyond those eyes.

“Wherever you hide, you will find it. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I popped the apostle's head.

[Are you sure you want to leave immediately?]

Gotta go.

Of course, this shrine was burned so neatly that it couldn't even be found.
