[From the Author of Author's POV...] Emotions are like a drug to us. The more we experience them, the more we become addicted. The hardest part is not letting them consume us. But it's already too late for me. I've already been swallowed whole. *** I had no knowledge of the game. I was meant to have died. And yet, I found myself in this situation. A game I had never played before. A character I was unfamiliar with, and... A world that seemed to want to swallow me whole with every move I made. What the hell is going on? ...and who am I? *** Discord : https://discord.gg/PEbN7fc2ww

"Thank you all for coming. I'm Cardinal Francis, and I will host the mass."
Cardinal Francis stood by the large auditorium, staring at the numerous cadets sitting opposite him. Garbed in a white tunic, he faintly smiled.

The eyes of several students shone at the presence of the Cardinal who he appeared like a ray of sunshine amidst the darkness that lingered across the dimly lit surroundings.
By his side, on either end, stood men clad in white, gripping their necklaces tightly. They were the priests of the Church of Clora.
They all stood in silence while watching the Cardinal speak.
