She Would Never Fall in Love with an Evil God

A straight-as-an-arrow female investigator × a lovestruck evil god (...) 1. Matilda Goetz, astrophysicist and fellow of the Royal Academy of Sciences. A face like Venus, eyes like Medusa. People marveled at her talent. She was exceptional, hailed as the "Silver Moon Hunter" for pursuing the darkest secrets in the heavens. People were appalled by her selfishness. She was so absorbed in her research that she let her young daughter play unsupervised. The child fell from a building and was smashed to a pulp right before her eyes. Her ex-husband left her, carrying their daughter's ashes. Her friends quietly cut off contact with her. Public opinion condemned her in the harshest terms. The Victoria Daily commented: "A woman who is not a good mother cannot be considered outstanding." Matilda replied: "Read." 2. In the year 1890 of the Logos calendar, the Silver Moon fell and struck the earth. Two-thirds of the Victoria Empire burned to the ground. An indescribable corruption spread and took hold, forming the forbidden zone known as "Ramashejuva." Strange phenomena multiplied, and evil forces ran rampant. Living things perished, and the people were impoverished. In 1917 of the Logos calendar, the Royal Academy of Sciences proposed the "Gate Project," calling for brave, resolute scientists with a spirit of sacrifice to form the "Silver Key Expedition" and venture into the forbidden zone to investigate in person. Uncover the truth about the Silver Moon and reclaim humanity's home. It was a perilous journey from which no one was expected to return alive. Matilda was among them. She was a selfish madwoman, and also a great pioneer. 3. It is Truth itself. It knows everything and understands everything. It is the "Gate" that connects all things. Its long life had left it bored. Until a frail human, possessing unimaginable courage, willpower, and resolve, crossed evil, corruption, and mutation to stand before it. The all-knowing god felt a flicker of confusion: "Why aren't you afraid?" Matilda pushed up her glasses, half of which were broken. "I'm a scientist." "There is only one thing I fear: bowing to the unknown." 4. Matilda rolled an "Investigation Die" in front of the god: "Charm check." Die: D100=1 Die: Critical success on the charm check. It falls in love with you. Matilda: ? Politely declined. 5. The god was confused. It was Truth, and she loved truth. Why didn't she love me? Why? Why?? - "Truth, you may boast: you have gained a madwoman, a wise person, a pioneer." - [Reading Guide] 1. The female lead has no romantic or sexual experience with men.

The heroine is not the only one with one. 4. There will be no attempt to excuse the daughter's fall from the building. The heroine's flaws are as obvious as her strengths. 5.
