The protagonist enters a survival game and becomes an apprentice deity.
Game rules: Human faith nourishes deities, while hatred gives birth to demons. The apprentice deity's top priority for survival is to “convert believers,” using merit points to buy more life.
To stay alive, the protagonist clutches the initial divine power automatically allocated for three people and nervously mingles with the crowd to recruit believers, asking everyone he meets: Do you believe in the existence of gods?
Everyone ignores him. The only one who responds is the notorious school bully from his class, who blocks the alley, raises his gloomy, piercing eyes, and says, “I believe.”
The protagonist muddles through the ritual and transfers his divine power to him. When it ends, the school bully is completely unaffected, but the protagonist faints on the spot!
Only afterward does the protagonist realize: The school bully has drained all the initial divine power meant for three people! Just how dark is this guy?
How is he supposed to recruit any other believers now?
There's no helping it.
He can only spend every day hovering around the school bully, his only lifeline, patiently trying to convert him and make him believe in goodness and truth, hoping to get some power of faith in return...
By the end, the protagonist is the weakest little deity in the business. He is so frail that he can barely breathe and has to stop every few steps, yet a whole group of demons fight to push his wheelchair and beg for his blessing...
Protagonist: ? What's wrong with you all?

But what the protagonist doesn't know is that even if the school bully tore open his own chest, the blood at the very center of his heart would be as black as thick ink.
At first, he believed in the existence of gods only because he was a demon;
Later, he believed in the existence of gods only because the god was you.
The whole story is nonsense. The main couple fall in love, with a plot that keeps trying to get going √
