I Once Served the Secret Gods

Cumming traveled to the city of Bloomington in 1867, signed a contract with the alien god, and obtained the witness system: converting various strange scenes and major events that came into view into system currency. "Sign a contract with our Lord, and you will become His eyes when he is awake, and witness on His behalf all the rise, fall, honor, disgrace, and changes in the world." [You have witnessed the city's once-in-a-century snowstorm. Ticket +1] [You witnessed the scene of a bizarre murder case. Ticket +5] [You have witnessed a Tantric blood sacrifice ceremony. Ticket +10] Kaming put on his coat, used the secret method he exchanged for coupons to light a lamp, put on the meteorite iron revolver he exchanged for coupons, and went out. "I've seen a lot, and there's a lot of money coming in! Let's go!" [You have witnessed the ancient city in the sea, the forgotten old alleys, the wise ancient trees...] [You have witnessed the decline of prosperity, the fall of giant beasts, and the rebirth of ashes...] … Years later, Cumming received a message: [You have witnessed the entire process of the birth, rise, and promotion of a Tantric leader. He is about to pass through the three-pointed gate and ascend to become a servant of our Lord in Mansu. Perhaps one day, he will ascend even higher. "Who? Where is the leader of the Tantric Cult?" Cumming turned back in confusion, and tens of thousands of believers knelt on the ground, witnessing the last words of this collector of secret history, collector of the past, world conqueror, esoteric leader, legendary general, great president, navigator, down-and-out traveler, liar, poor man, and death row prisoner: Cumming Stewart McLean: "Me?" "Nonsense!" This time it was the Ability God who spoke in person, "I can no longer afford the reward, so I can only promote you!"
