"Hey, system, I’m just saying if—just if—my identity gets exposed, then..."
"You will be punished."
The Acting System didn’t even let Silvanus finish his sentence before explaining the consequence he would face.
Silvanus couldn’t help but look a little grim.
The Acting System quickly added, "You’ll have a much harder ti earning more Acting Points, sir. At present, you haven’t fully recovered your power. I hope you’ll be careful."
"Did sothing happen? Like... I fell in battle or sothing?" Silvanus asked.
"Once you regain your mories, you’ll have your answer," the Acting System replied with the sa answer.
Silvanus said no more.
What the Acting System said wasn’t wrong. Right now, no matter which divine identity he appeared under, he could earn a good haul of Acting Points—because these new identities didn’t just cover his original one and the many personas he’d created for himself.
Even now, when everyone believed his identity to be Priest Silvanus, he was already earning Acting Points.
No matter what, he couldn’t let his identity be exposed. Besides, perhaps they were only suspicious, or maybe, as top believers, they instinctively felt drawn to him. There was no need to worry too much—keep a clear head!
Silvanus pulled himself together and calmly, confidently t Drake’s gaze.
"Hey, why are you spacing out? You still haven’t answered !"
Drake glanced at Cocona, then squeezed the water hose in his hand, spraying water at her face, soaking her instantly.
Cocona wiped her face and snorted coldly.
Drake continued washing his feet, though now his movents seed much calr.
"I checked out Lilith’s room, but I couldn’t enter. The chocolate floor inside was lting—if you fall in, you could get sucked under," Drake said, describing the room’s features.
"At this rate, the whole house is going to eat us," Cocona said offhandedly, glancing at the house.
Silvanus sighed inwardly. Girl, don’t just casually set up death flags!
"There’s even a sunflower pot in the house? Looks like Lilith likes sunflowers," Alice remarked wistfully.
"We passed through a sunflower forest, but didn’t see anything. Though it does seem like those two monsters were chatting with the sunflower field," Silas chid in, then concluded, "Looks like nothing will truly begin until Lilith shows up."
Their mission was already clear: to put Lilith to sleep.
"Hah, she can knock out an entire train but can’t put herself to sleep?" Drake mocked, still dripping wet as he led the way into the house.
The group had nothing to do, so they lay down to rest—perhaps the most peaceful scene a dungeon could offer.
"Priest Silvanus, you don’t show yourself much... Do you not need to eat? Where did you go?"
Alice’s gentle voice rang out again, sounding subtly seductive.
Silvanus didn’t believe she was curious—after all, an entire continent was likely watching them right now.
[Obviously, he jumped to another server to play, hahaha.]
[What is Silvanus’s real identity? I’m so curious about this guy!]
Silvanus lay quietly on the bed and replied softly, "Just don’t treat as human."
That answer stunned the others.
But no one asked what he was.
"That’s strange... I don’t feel sleepy at all."
Outside, the sun was slowly setting in the west. Sunset draped the sky in a beautiful orange hue, and the sunflowers swayed gently in the wind, as if waving goodbye to the brilliant sunlight.
Alice suddenly spoke, then added, "And I don’t feel hungry either."
"We’re espers, Alice," Cocona couldn’t help but respond.
"Yes, but I’m not as strong as the rest of you. If I lie in bed that long, I should feel at least a little drowsy... but I’m vigilant."
Alice explained herself, and silence fell once again. Before long, night had descended, and the group exchanged glances.
Silvanus was the first to stand up, brushing down the front of his robe before heading out.
"You don’t intend to wait for anyone else, huh?"
Drake followed behind Silvanus, speaking with a mocking tone: "You that eager to jump straight into the monster’s mouth?"
Silvanus didn’t look back, only said, "I’m not that weak. Besides, with all of you here, I won’t be allowed to die."
Drake was montarily speechless.
["Not that weak," he says—he’s crazy strong!]
[But doesn’t Silvanus seem calr than last ti? Last ti, he was a little unhinged. I haven’t forgotten the scene where he gouged out his own eyes.]
[Maybe he’s just suppressing his true nature right now.]
[Well, last ti he was alone, so he could go wild. This ti there are people he knows, he has to be more careful.]
Exactly... I’m a fraud, Silvanus thought to himself, swallowing his bitter feelings.
Outside, the lights had turned on automatically as soon as dusk fell. The warm orange-yellow glow made the space feel even more cramped, as though it wasn’t lit by light bulbs but by a single flickering candle.
"Clack clack clack!"
"Bang!"
They had barely settled down when the door was suddenly flung open, accompanied by lively footsteps.
Everyone looked up—they saw a young girl around ten skipping into the room.
She had a distinctly familiar appearance: curly golden hair tied into two high pigtails. Her black-and-red princess dress had been swapped for one in pink and blue.
The girl hugged a plush bear with one arm, swinging the other as her bright red eyes swept across the room. She smiled and said, "Sorry to keep everyone waiting."
As she spoke, she suddenly paused. Her wide eyes fixed on the dark figure seated in one of the chairs.
At that exact mont, an unexpected gust of wind blew in, sending her skirt and hair fluttering, as if it wanted to tear through the entire room—and conveniently blew off Silvanus’s hooded cloak.
Lilith’s red eyes reflected Silvanus’s face, and the gleam of his erald-green pupils.
"You... you..."
Lilith exclaid, imdiately dove toward Silvanus, squeezing between him and Leonard. She leaned against him as if it were the most natural thing in the world, gazing up at his face with eyes that seed monts away from turning into heart shapes.
"You’re so beautiful! Your eyes... I love your eyes! Oh my god, your scent—I hate... no wait, I love it! Aaaah, those eyes, my god."
As she spoke, she panted slightly, her tiny hand trembling in front of Silvanus’s face—like she wanted to touch him, but didn’t dare.
Silvanus: "..."
Damn it. Please don’t let Lilith accidentally give anything away...
Viewers, seeing Silvanus’s blank expression, only assud he was being overwheld by mories.
[LMAO, why does everyone comnt on Silvanus’s eyes?]
[Is he gonna gouge them out again this ti?]
[Lilith’s behavior reminds of my dead ship—Lilith x Aurora. They worked well together.]
[Honestly, Lilith x Degenerate could work too, hahaha.]
