Otaku Witch

In this backward and ignorant age, in this particularly backward and ignorant remote village, Ming Feng was just "simple," truly comprised wholly of wicked people.

After all, merely surviving was difficult, and in the entire village, you could hardly find a few who could read, so naturally, don't expect the villagers to understand anything about morality or law.

Luckily, even in the darkest of places, there is always a glimmer of light. Father Adam from the church outside the village was that ray of light illuminating the lives of the mother and daughter.

The Reverend Father, who had arrived at the once long-deserted church on the outskirts of the village more than a decade ago with a child, was regarded as a real VIP by the villagers.

He was handsome and graceful, with a scholarly demeanor, and knew a great deal, which was far beyond the reach of the villagers who had never left the village. They always speculated that the Reverend Father must have come from the legendary big cities.

Anyway, this Reverend Father held great prestige in the village.

The Reverend Father was also kind-hearted. Shortly after he came to the village, upon seeing the plight of the orphaned mother and daughter, he gently cared for them.

The priest hired this mother to take care of the infant girl he brought with him, and the mother happily accepted, raising the girl alongside her own daughter, Denisha.

Unfortunately, the mother ultimately couldn't withstand the hardships of life. Although the priest's support made their life bearable, her spirits were severely crushed by the villagers' relentless gossip and insinuations that she had seduced the Reverend Father to gain his help.

After enduring this harsh environment for ten years, the increasingly depressed and emaciated woman died when the two girls were ten years old.

From then on, the girl Dorothy brought by the priest became a nun at the church, while the girl Denisha became a shepherdess in the village with the priest's help.

Then they had lived peacefully up until today. Life should have continued this way, until a group of Witch Hunters from the Church once again passed through this remote village.

One young Witch Hunter took immediate notice of the beauty of the shepherdess, who had just been tending sheep outside the village.

Normally, for a Witch Hunter of considerable status within the Church, seducing an ignorant village shepherdess would not be a difficult task.

Denisha's mother had been deceived by her adventurous father in just such a way, but sadly, history was now repeating itself, and the choices made by the shepherdess were completely different from those of her mother.

After all, she had witnessed firsthand the tragic outcome for her mother. Although she was only 16 now, Denisha had long since stopped believing in so-called love.

Therefore, no matter how the actually rather handsome Witch Hunter flaunted himself like a courting peacock or showed his attentions, the shepherdess remained unmoved.

Then...

Then she was furiously accused by the Witch Hunter of being a witch.

That's pretty much how things went.

And after sorting out all of this, the homebody witch felt even more bewildered.

"Well, I've directly become the God King's childhood sweetheart; is my luck good or bad?"

Her own starting identity turned out to be so special, it truly overwhelmed Dorothy a bit.

After all, her original plan had not involved any connections with the absolute protagonist of the Witch's Night, the future God King; she just wanted to find a quiet corner to lie low and study her cellar full of magic knowledge until she had enough ability to protect herself before venturing out.

But now, just as she needn't go out of her way to seek knowledge in mysticism, she no longer needed to seek out the God King either, ending up directly as childhood sweethearts.

However, these actually weren't the main point. The main point was that her current identity was a nun of the Church, while Denisha was about to be executed as a "witch," and she would soon be the one to light the fire for her sister, who she grew up with.

After all, the Witch Hunters still had to show some respect to the local Church, and the credit for adjudicating a "witch" in their district couldn't be monopolized by the Witch Hunters alone, so it was usually the local Church personnel who carried out the execution.

Or it was not possible not to execute, because otherwise an accusation of harboring a witch could be lodged, and the internal members of the Church would also be in trouble.

Fuck, "I" have to personally light the fire to burn my childhood friend, who I grew up with and could even be considered my sister from different parents?

Damn, what a tragic human drama.

Originally when Dorothy read about this history, she was quite puzzled, always feeling that the God King's awakening seemed preordained, as there were plenty of innocent girls who had been burned as witches over the years, yet none had resonated with the world consciousness.

But now...

"Being the protagonist really isn't for everyone. Although there are many tragedies in this era, there probably aren't many as dire as this."

Originally, Dorothy thought it might be because the God King had a unique destiny, or perhaps she was truly gifted, which is why she was chosen by the world consciousness.

But now it seems that it wasn't the world consciousness who actively chose her, but Denisha's final resentment was truly terrifying, which alarmed the world consciousness.

Just as not everyone who dies can become a fierce ghost, the formation of a strong enough fierce ghost requires a special destiny, a violent death, enough resentment, and other indispensable conditions.

In this magic world, a person's resentment also has levels, and as long as the level of resentment is high enough, it can indeed attract the attention of some strange entities, such as the classic descent of demons.

Of course, as members of the Calamity Race, the demons have high standards and usually don't care about the minor resentments of ordinary people just before death.

But Denisha...

Firstly, she was a pure maiden.

A pure maiden's corrupted resentment is considered top-grade material in the eyes of professionals among demons.

Secondly, she was a zealot. After all, the Church represented by Adam was the only light in her dark life. Growing up in such a special environment, Denisha naturally became a devout believer. At least, according to the villagers, her daily words and actions were even more nun-like than Dorothy, a real nun.

And now, this kind of zealot was personally accused by the Church she trusted of being a witch...

Tch, the zealot's corrupted curse is seen as the highest treasure in the eyes of a demon.

Then, just wait for Dorothy to light the fire and, oh, the resentful feelings of betrayal by a loved one would be complete! This is another top-grade material for demonic ecstasy.

Furthermore, one could even add the destiny pattern. Although Dorothy has lost her magic knowledge and no longer does fortune-telling or divination, when it comes to Denisha's background, it absolutely has to be calculated, a perfect match for the fate of the Lonely Star under Heaven.

Don't know if the demons love this flavor, but if it was from the Eastern Universe, this would be one of the best destiny patterns for a fierce ghost.

And that's not even counting the other various factors...

...

emmmm... You witch hunters really know how to play, do the angels above know about this? This buff is almost maxed out, are you guys raising gu here?

Dorothy was unaware of this until she checked, and it gave her quite a scare.

With such a treatment, even if the world consciousness didn't respond, Abyssal Hell would have responded for sure, this is truly material for a Demon God.

So the question arises, should I really light this fire later?

If I don't light it, then the history changes and what if the God King doesn't awaken later on? Without the God King, there would be no Witch Clan, what would we, as trialists, use to fight the angels?

But if I light it...

Well, if I remember correctly, during the historical moment of the God King's awakening, it was also the day of the village's sacrifice to heaven, and she, filled with resentment, started a massive killing spree.

So the question is, how is she going to escape the plot's execution with her own father later?

Is she really going to rely on her meager 100 mana as a mortal to withstand the awakened God King?

Stop kidding, you have to be reasonable even when cheating. Though I don't know how powerful the God King was right after awakening, he must possess tens of thousands of mana, and she might not even withstand a single slap.

"Damn, I used to think this start wasn't bad, but now it looks like a scam; what kind of hellish start is this."

...Homebody Witch is tired...
