Chapter 2 - 1:God of Darkness



"Lady Morrigan, what are you doing?" The maid who entered asked in astonishment. "Are you alright?"

Morrigan lifted her head and raised an eyebrow at the maid. "Get out."

The maid felt sweat trickling down her back and her mouth go dry when she saw Morrigan’s cold eyes. At the same time, she felt a surge of anger. After all those years of caring for her, this was how she spoke to her.

"Tch, whatever..." The maid looked at Morrigan with mocking eyes, turned her back, and left. She slammed the door shut.

But Morrigan didn’t care at all. Her eyes were still emotionless.

However, Jack, who was watching all of this, was filled with rage. Morrigan wasn’t just any random girl; she was the daughter of Alfred, one of the greatest Dukes of the Holy Mary Kingdom.

Jack could only be surprised. If even a maid treated Morrigan this way, how did ordinary people behave towards her? Was there no one among them who could think rationally?

"This world is darker than what we see on the screen." Even the Saint of the Goddess of Light always portrayed Morrigan as an aggressive and evil woman.

The player’s character, Alice, was incredibly fortunate. Even though she was just a common girl, she could do whatever she wanted thanks to the male lead characters, including the Legendary Black Knight Norman and the Ancient Elf Galathil. But Morrigan?

Morrigan had been unlucky since the day she was born. Her family rejected her, people rejected her, her fiancé rejected her, even the Goddess of Light rejected her.

What had this girl done to deserve all this? What was the difference between Alice and Morrigan? Why was one loved by everyone while the other was hated?

This was a question Jack couldn’t understand.

Jack browsed through the Mod tab to find out what he could do. There were thousands of abilities. Although none were visible, Jack understood that they must be divine abilities.

"I also have a level," Jack looked at the areas above the mod tab, his Mana was 100/100. His level was 1.

At the same time, his earned Title ’God of Darkness’ provided an additional 30% Mana regeneration and gave +50% affinity to Dark Magic. This meant that the Mana cost for Dark Magic was half of what it would normally be each time Dark Magic was used.

There was also a level system for each ability. Jack gained experience for using Revelation and was almost ready to level up.

After scanning around, Jack looked at Morrigan, who was still sitting idly. He activated the Revelation ability. Then, paying attention to his words, he typed a message. "-Do you know who I am?"

Jack sent the message and waited for the result. Because Revelation was at a low level, the message did not go letter for letter.

{You are still too weak and pathetic to even mention and worship my name.}

Morrigan lowered her head and, despite the harsh words, did not react. "I apologize for being weak, my Lord."

Jack rubbed his temples. Was Revelation broken? There wasn’t even such meaning in the sentence. How did it create such a message?

"At least I learned that abilities with low levels are not very effective." Jack decided to send another message. This time he wrote a serious message. "-Prove that you are worthy of worshipping me..."

{Prove that you are worthy of worshipping me...}

When Morrigan heard the whispering voice in her ears, her eyes shone with a bloody glint. "Who should I kill?"

Jack leaned back, satisfied with himself, and almost fell when he heard Morrigan’s words. He urgently activated the Revelation ability. "-You don’t need to do that!"

{You can’t are too weak to do that.}

Morrigan shook her head, clenched her fists, and lightly nodded. Her emotionless but sweet expression brought a smile to Jack’s lips.

Jack leaned back contentedly. "Never mind, at least I got to see that."

[Revelation leveled up]

Jack looked at the developing ability with curiosity. Just as he was about to send another message after Revelation leveled up, he saw Morrigan standing up and heading somewhere. "What is she doing?"

As an assassin, Thomas was one of the strongest members of the Hades Sect and also the main male lead in the Otome game who fell in love with Alice.

"How amusing," said Thomas as he adjusted his glasses. For a moment, the aura around him wildly surged but then vanished. "You are a young lady with such talent, my Lady."

Thomas knelt and bowed his head. "Allow me to serve you."

Morrigan stood there in shock, unsure of what to do. After a while, she heard the voice of the God again.

{Strong enough to handle you.}

Jack rolled his eyes again. What he actually wrote was, "-Accept it, he can help you."

Although Jack was surprised by Thomas’s submission, he did not react much.

Thomas was a masochist, a loyal man who served those who were not afraid of him and always stayed by their side.

For this reason, Jack was sure that Thomas could be a good ally. "But what if he is recognized by Alice? Will he betray us?"

Jack considered the possibility. In the Otome game, Alice had met Thomas when she visited Duke Alfred.

She had looked into Thomas’s eyes and smiled. This was something impossible because Thomas’s eyes were special.

Since birth, Thomas’s eyes were known as the Eyes of the Gods.

Eyes granted the user incredible Mana control and an immense amount of Mana. This allowed Thomas to gain incredible power in a short period.

But there was a price. Anyone who looked into his eyes would simulate their own death. Because of this, even his own mother had gone mad and tried to kill Thomas.

"From now on, you’ll be my personal servant," Morrigan said emotionlessly.

Thomas shivered and chuckled. "I’m honored, my Lady. Please assign me tasks."

Morrigan ignored Thomas and approached her chair to retrieve her book. "Kill all the insects in the mansion."

Thomas’s eyes widened in surprise for a moment, but then his lips curved into a smile as he adjusted his glasses. "How ruthless... not even a shred of mercy for animals."

In a single step, Thomas vanished from the room, leaving Morrigan alone.

Jack was worried for a while. Could experience be gained from the insects Thomas killed? After all, Jack couldn’t send revelations to Thomas.

After waiting for a while, Jack relaxed and yawned when he saw the level bar rise. It was already past 11. "Time really flies..."

"Does everyone who obeys Morrigan come under my influence?" Jack wondered. Everything seemed to be related to Morrigan. The more Morrigan grew stronger, the stronger he became as well.

"Isn’t it like being a disciple?"

{Do you wish to choose the person named Morrigan as your ’Disciple’?}

Jack was momentarily stunned, unsure of what to think. He quickly nodded and confirmed. "Yes."

{The person named Morrigan has been chosen as a Disciple.}

{The person named Morrigan has received the title of ’Saint of Darkness’}

{The person named Morrigan has gained 60% Magic resistance}

{The person named Morrigan has gained 50% Dark Magic Affinity.}

{The person named Morrigan has unlocked the skill ’Shadow Manipulation’.}
