One day, the wage slave Wu Si received a special assignment.
Task requirements: Create character profiles and sell them. The reward is 100 million yuan.
Trusting the gig platform, Wu Si snatched it up in an instant…
And then transmigrated.
Coming our way next is Tius, the Radiant Knight: a devout believer in the Light in the Age of Declining Magic, the one who awakened the sleeping gods, a world-renowned figure who led the way, the greatest knight on the continent of Valenti, a holy one, the darling of the gods, and the greatest incubus among all races…
Wu Si: “There's not enough room here for all these people!”
But Knight Tius says:
“We knights must never abandon our conscience.”
“Perhaps slaughtering commoners is normal among the nobility, but if it happens in front of me, I will never allow it!”
“If there is no wise ruler left in the world to serve, then I beseech the gods to show me mercy!”
So:
“God says: Loyalty has limits. If your ruler is unjust, remonstrate. If he will not listen, leave.”
“God says: Protection knows no distinction. Women and children, the wounded, prisoners, and those who surrender, whether friend or foe, are all entitled to basic protection.”
“God says: Do not strike the unarmed. Do not attack those who wear no armor and carry no weapons, unless they strike first or endanger another's life.”
…But the gods went to sleep long ago.
These are just the rules of knighthood.
But no one in the world dares say the gods are wrong.
So whatever the knight says must be right.
…
A foolish knight.
A stubborn knight.
A knight with no sense of humanity.
The world has no place for a pure soul.
So the people cried.
But later
The city lord who ordered the massacre of commoners: “I still don't think I was wrong. But I regret making you recite God's words all the time and never mention the rules of knighthood anymore. Even your honor now belongs to the gods.”
The leader of the mysterious underground organization: “The day the Church burned my whole family alive, I set the scriptures alight with my own hands, and never believed in God again. But later, I met a knight. He was covered in blood, yet still clung to the divine commandments… I don't believe in God, but I believe in you.”
The ‘God of Light,’ reborn from the ashes of the gods: “I am not the one you seek, nor the one you believe in. I am dark, partial, and a usurper… yet after all those years of praying, I am the one who woke.”
“Then I shall be the God of Light. From now on, the knight and the Light shall be one and the same.”
“So, through the voice of a god, I praise the knight's name.”
…
Only Wu Si, deep down, mutters guiltily to himself: What are you all going on about? Just put the 100 million in my account first!
Reading guide: A beautiful and tragic character adored by everyone, men and women alike. Not a romance story (family, friendship, followers, and faith, not a romantic love triangle).
