Chapter 14

Burning with an anger that she didn’t know how to express, Sylvia dashed to the temple.

As she passed the shortcut, the tattooed fat man, who was crouching in the corner, called Sylvia.

“Hey, beggar. You have to pay the toll.”

‘I’m in a bad mood and you’re getting on my nerves.’

She stopped abruptly and stared at him without replying. The tattooed fatty approached her, chewing gum.

“Will you look at this. Didn’t you hear me saying you have to pay the toll? Are you deaf?”

“Ugh…”

In fact, Sylvia remembered the tattooed fatty before she got out of the house.

‘If I use Head Smasher, the basic skill of the newly acquired Hammer Warrior… Is it possible to defeat this guy?’

Unlike the first day, the message that it was difficult to defeat him because her level was low didn’t appear, so she had a premonition that it might be possible.

The angry fat man drew closer as Sylvia stood still, ignoring his words. He pushed Sylvia’s head with his finger and grunted.

“Are you deaf?! Huh? Hey! Pay me while I’m still being nice!”

“I was going to let it slide, but I guess I can’t.”

Sylvia glared at the fatty as she pouted. She didn’t mean to just let it slide from the beginning, but she really wanted to use a nice line like the ones she saw in novels or webtoons at least once.

‘Head Smasher.’

Bang!

Sylvia said the name of the skill inwardly, then raised her fist. And then hit the tattooed fatty’s head without giving him a chance to notice it.

“Huh?”

As the tattooed fat man stared at her in bewilderment for a moment, Sylvia whispered coldly into his ear.

“I see you haven’t come to your senses yet.”

Bang, bang! Sylvia went after the fat man, who was stepping back, and hit his head repeatedly, without mercy. After a few hits, a message window appeared in front of her.

[The status abnormality 〈Loss of Fighting Spirit〉 of the skill 〈Head Smasher〉 will be activated.]

As expected! As she was hitting him with her bare hands, it was also effective for this garbage villain, even though he was not a monster. After the message opened, the tattooed fat man drooped his shoulders with an expression of lost confidence.

“Ugh… I ap… I apologize!”

The tattooed fat man, who had lost his morale, gathered his hands together politely and bowed deeply to Sylvia, and then ran away from her, saying, “S-save me!”

“I ought to… I wanted to beat him more but held it in.”

Sylvia looked at his back, running away, and then looked at her hand with a proud expression.

‘Ahh, let’s play the game on this feeling.’

if it were the real world, she could just report it to the police; but in this world, she could teach someone a lesson with her own hands, so it was nice. Thinking that she would scold all the rascals as she grows stronger, Sylvia walked towards the temple with light steps.

***

It was early in the morning, so it was quiet inside the temple. Sylvia looked around with a disappointed face.

‘Isn’t Noel here yet?’

She went to the great hall and then to the garden, but she couldn’t see Noel. As she walked down the corridor with disappointment and went back to the side door of the hall, she finally met Noel, who had opened the middle door and walked in.

As the sacred face appeared against the morning sunlight at the entrance of the temple, the brightness of the temple, which was dark, increased. Suddenly facing his dazzlingly beautiful face, Sylvia closed her eyes tightly and swallowed a shriek.

‘Gosh… My eyes are tingling from suddenly seeing a handsome man.’

Noel, who appeared with his flowy lemon-blonde hair, closed the door with a calm gesture, then smiled softly as he turned around and found Sylvia.

“You’re here!”

“Ah… Hello. Mr. Noel.”

At Noel’s gracious smile, welcoming her, Sylvia felt the anger and frustration that remained inside her fade away. As Sylvia, who was encouraged by Noel’s smile, walked to the cleaning storage to start cleaning, he called her up.

“The number of believers increased a lot because you preached well on the street the other day. It’s all thanks to Miss Sylvia.”

“Ah, it was nothing. It helped me, too.”

‘Since I made some money and increased my speaking skills, it’s an extremely good job.’

Sylvia replied, opening the cleaning storage. But as soon as she pulled a broom out of the cleaning toolbox, Noel approached her and gently took the broom out of her hand, throwing it back into the cleaning toolbox.

‘What is it? No way, is he going to tell me to do something good instead of cleaning?’

While Sylvia, who had not yet abandoned her expectations for the R-rated game, was in a delusion, Noel’s sluggish voice was heard.

“Today, the new believers will serve in the cleaning of the Great Hall. So you don’t have to clean it.”

“Is that so? So, what do I do?”

No. Is it okay to leave the newcomers in charge of cleaning?

Sylvia doubted the temple’s identity for a moment, but Noel’s following words quickly changed her expression.

“Miss Sylvia, you can organize the library with me.”

“Ahh… Sounds good.”

Good, very good. Cleaning the library, the two of them. The library was probably the most frequent place where ‘something’ happened in other games.

Sylvia smiled, nodded, and shook her hands. Noel swept his bangs slightly, smiled refreshingly, and turned around.

“Shall we go then?”

“Yes!”

Sylvia followed Noel through an open hallway, which gave a clear view of the outside. When Noel reached the end of the corridor and opened a large, heavy door, a dome-shaped library appeared.

According to him, the library can only be used by the priests and some believers.

‘Are there others with us? I wish it was only the two of us…’

With the slightest expectation, Sylvia looked around the library. She looked through every corner, but, as if they were the first guests, there was no one else in the library except Noel and her, as Sylvia wanted.

Jackpot. Seems like the Heavens were helping her.

Noel, who had misunderstood her glittering eyes, gently opened his mouth.

“I guess you like books. You can come here to read sometimes.”

She doesn’t like books, she likes him. Sylvia laughed, embarrassed, as she swallowed what she wanted to say.

“Uh… It’s something like that. But didn’t you say that the books can only be read by some believers?”

“Ah, about that. It’s hard to manage a library if you open it for everyone. Miss Sylvia will continue to help us with our temple, so it’s fine.”

‘Hm, do I still need to help Noel after targeting him? I thought we would meet outside after that. No… Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.’

Sylvia stepped forward with Noel to organize the library. At first glance, the books she saw while organizing were not written in Korean, but, perhaps due to a player buff, she was able to read them all.

Fortunately, while organizing the library, her faith rose consistently. She felt good at the ding- ding- sound that resounded as her faith level went up.

‘Huh? What is this?’

Sylvia, who had been organizing the library for a long time, noticed an unusual space.

In the center of the library, there was a small prayer stand, carved with the large emblem of God that she saw in the great hall. The dome-shaped library ceiling was made of glass, so bright sunlight illuminated the interior of the library beautifully.

‘Is the god of this temple the male god who brought me into the game? Or is it another god…’

When Sylvia stopped organizing for a moment and looked at the emblem of God, Noel came to her side and spoke.

“Sometimes when I’m reading a book, I feel the urge to pray. That’s why we set up a prayer stand.”

“Ah… I see.”

An urge to pray? It was the first time she heard something like that. Because he was so sincere to God… It would be a long time before she would be able to target him.

While Sylvia was worrying about that, Noel approached the podium and quietly knelt down. Then, a message window came up in front of her.

[Let’s buy Noel’s favor.

1. Kneel down and pray together.

2. Approach his back and breathe hot air into his ear.

3. Give him a back hug and grab his sturdy chest.]

‘This is crazy.’

Sylvia knew now that this game would not be as easy as other R-rated games. If she picked option 2 or 3, it would be a dead ending for sure… Still, it was fortunate that she had some speaking skills and there was a normal option.

Sylvia chose number one right away and knelt down beside Noel, in a praying position. She closed her eyes, and at first, she wriggled because she was sore, but soon, her innermost feelings welled up and she prayed without even realizing it.

‘My Lord… Please let me f*ck Noel as soon as possible, let Sevis become an adult in an instant, and let me find a way to remove the poison of poisoned red-haired. And I pray that the next targeting character will be an easy man…’

As she was struggling and praying sincerely, the bright sunlight shone on the two of them as if God were responding, and a message window appeared.

[After observing Sylvia’s sincere prayer, Noel’s friendship increased by 10 points.]

Oh, nice.

Noel’s friendship was now 20, but it was still a ridiculously low number. As expected, she needed to do the temple part-time for a while before she could get closer to target him.

Perhaps because of the increased friendship, she could feel Noel looking at her warmly after praying.

“You are so faithful, Sister. You prayed so hard that you got sweat all over your forehead.”

“I just prayed sincerely…”

Sylvia gave an innocent-looking smile, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Sylvia was startled for a moment by the warm green eyes that were looking at her, but since the word ‘sincerely’ wasn’t a lie, she thought it wasn’t wrong.

‘Gosh, it’s hot.’

Her whole body was sweaty after diligently organizing the library, especially because she prayed so hard, so she was uncomfortable. Noel gestured to her as she fanned herself and cooled off the sweat by grabbing a bunch of street leaflets that were on a corner.

“Seems like you’re sweating a lot. There is a well in the corner of the garden, do you want to wash your hands there?”

“Ah, that sounds nice.”
