DrunK: No freaking way, my chicken and pizza!!!!!!

Riding on that damn arm and using the ship wreckage as a stepping stone to move…
What on earth do you have to do to even make that possible?

Isn’t breaking the back of the head supposed to be done after breaking other vital spots to lower the body’s center of gravity???

ㅇㅇ: Don’t try to understand the movements of a beast with human logic.
Head-Broken Priest: How do you even do that? X
└Head-Broken Priest: Ah, so that much effort is needed to eat pizza and chicken! O
└Post by ㅇㅇ: Is the standard for pizza and chicken too strict?

There was a Golem Challenge contest happening in the New Dimension Gallery until today, and I set the first place record!

Aren’t I amazing?

└ㅇㅇ🔹: That’s insane!
└ㅇㅇ🔹: But why not stream it???
└Rene🔸: I couldn’t help it because today’s a break day.
└ㅇㅇ🔹: You dumbass
Nore Rene No Life🔹: Did this girl seriously just wake up and go to New Dimension???
└Nore Rene No Life🔹: What, did you wake up singing a cute little tune while heading to New Dimension?????
└Rene🔸: That’s never happened.

In the center of the large room, about a dozen people sat at a long rectangular table.
They all wore coats with a noticeable blue hue, and on their left shoulders were decorative snowflake insignias.

The one sitting at the head of the table was an old man with faded grey hair.

“It’s about time.”

And as the old man spoke, everyone else at the table nodded in agreement.
Their eyes held only the coldness of faith.

“It’s time to deliver divine judgment upon those detestable ones. It’s time to teach those who condemn our faith the truth.”

In front of the old man lay a decorative item.
A cross with a circle drawn in the center.
Its meaning was clear.

“There is no faith for the cowardly who stabbed us in the back without knowing grace!”

Bang!
As the old man slammed it down with all his might, the decorative item shattered into pieces, scattering everywhere.

“It’s a time for repentance. May the blessing of the Scadi Goddess be upon us.”
“May the blessing be upon us!”

Cheers erupted from all around.
Seeing the fervor of the believers, the old man smiled but then soon lowered his gaze to the broken cross.

“Holy One, do you have any concerns?”
At the question from the man next to him, the old man shook his head.

“I was simply reminded that there is still something left to do before we commence our holy war.”
“Something left to do?”
“Yes. I wonder if this time He will grant my request…”

The revival of the Scadi Cult was due to the fall of Albion.
Then who was it that brought down Albion?
Who took the life of the evil dragon, the tyrant of Nibrload?

The old man knew the answer to that question.
Therefore, it was finally time to have a conversation for the last time.

“Phew….”
I claimed the first place in the Golem Challenge with perfect, overwhelming timing.
Of course, if a new record comes out before today passes, I might drop to second place, but… I doubt that will happen.
It was a record a full 1 minute and 48 seconds faster than the previous best.
Even if you start analyzing and trying to replicate my movements from now on, you probably won’t succeed immediately.

So, that means chicken and pizza are mine!
Just by playing a game, I’m awarded chicken and pizza.
It’s unreasonable to say not to laugh.

“Hmm….”
But when I showed off this record in Remagal, for some reason, everyone began to criticize me.
I announced in advance that today would be a break day, and since the Golem Challenge contest was only until today, why won’t they try to understand me?
If it weren’t break day, of course, I would’ve streamed.
After being heavily criticized for a similar incident last time,
I thought it was good to upload a video to express my regret, yet their reactions were over the top.
I expected them to praise me for doing something amazing, but there were far more critical comments than compliments.
Why don’t they understand my feelings…?

“Sigh….”
With a sigh, I could only dwell on my disappointment.
Well, anyhow, the Golem Challenge is over, so what should I do now?
As I was pondering that upon returning to the village, a shadow fell before me.

“Adventurer.”

Huh?
An old man I’ve seen somewhere.

“It’s been a while.”
…Oh, it’s the village head of Rexton.
I could recall the face that smiled at me while handing me snacks and black tea.
Impressive that I could remember, despite it being a fleeting encounter.
I must be amazing.

“Do you remember me?”
I quietly nodded at the village head’s question.
Then he smiled gently and extended his hand.
“I came to tell you something, Adventurer. Would you have a moment to talk with me?”

…While I do have time for a chat, why can’t I just refuse?
This village head is a heretic.
If he weren’t an NPC, he would’ve been on the receiving end of several “head-broken” encounters from me.
Investing time in this heretic feels too precious to waste, doesn’t it?
…Last time, I attacked another heretic NPC and got expelled from that area.
I became curious whether it would be the same this time.

“Thank you.”
Yet it seemed the village head interpreted my silence as a ‘yes.’
Interpreting others’ intentions his own way, how very heretic-like!
I can’t forgive…

“This time, our Scadi Cult is planning to declare war on the Elun Cult.”
…Wait a moment.
“That is, we will make them pay for denying and slandering our faith.”
What is this supposed to mean….

“I would like to ask for your assistance in this upcoming war; may I?”

[The Start of the Holy War]
[The war between the Elun Cult and Scadi Cult begins.]
[Players can choose to join the Elun Cult, Scadi Cult, or remain neutral.]
[If the Elun Cult wins, the influence of the Scadi Cult in the continent will be reduced.]
[If the Scadi Cult wins, the influence of the Elun Cult in the continent will be reduced.]
[If the neutral faction wins, faith will weaken across the continent.]
[Each account can only choose one faction, and the minimum level to participate in the holy war is 65.]
[The holy war occurs once a week, with a total of five battles, and the winning faction will receive substantial rewards.]
[It is possible to not participate in the holy war, and if that is the case, predicting the winning faction will earn you rewards if correct.]

[Existing occupations related to the Elun Cult will automatically belong to the Elun Cult if they participate in the holy war. This affiliation cannot be changed.]
[For existing occupations related to the Elun Cult, if they do not participate, they will automatically predict the Elun Cult’s victory. This prediction cannot be changed.]
[Existing occupations related to the Scadi Cult will automatically belong to the Scadi Cult if they participate in the holy war. This affiliation cannot be changed.]
[For existing occupations related to the Scadi Cult, if they do not participate, they will automatically predict the Scadi Cult’s victory. This prediction cannot be changed.]
[Neutral factions can switch to either the Elun Cult or Scadi Cult at any time.]

…The fact that this is new content, I could tell without someone explaining it to me.

[Special Proposition]
[The Pope of the Scadi Cult sees you, who played a decisive role in defeating Albion, very favorably.]
[You now have another chance to switch to the Scadi Cult.]
[If you refuse, the favorability of the Pope of the Scadi Cult, Esler, will slightly decrease.]
[If you switch to the Scadi Cult and win in the holy war, you will receive immense rewards.]
[If you accept, you must change your class from ‘Traveler.’]

[Yes / No]

And my answer is…
