Perfection doesn't exist

Louis woke up with a jolt, gasping heavily to calm his heart.

'What a bad dream' he shook his head. He didn't want to think about it anymore.

At the end of the day, the past will still remain past. He couldn't change it.

What would have happened if these two young demons weren't there 4 years ago?

He wouldn't torture himself imagining things that wouldn't happen.

Thoughts that it might have ended differently were just useless. He didn't want to give up on reality.

For him, intelligence wasn't about being smart. You were intelligent as long as you loved your life.

'Besides, the village will change' he thought about the system.

Even if the system hadn't come, the village would still have changed. The situation was improving, despite the inevitable deaths.

'But with this artifact, we can live even better' Louis smiled before looking at the system.

[Training station (building): an infrastructure that separates the body from the mind and enables safe training].

This was his goal. To be able to experiment with real combat without limit nor cost would be a tremendous advantage, and even the worst talent would become a strong warrior. Failure was after all the best teacher.

The problem lay in the requirements. To create it, one would not only need a package of resources of all types, but also a personal mastery of certain laws. For example, he would have to master the management of energy in an area to be able to create it. In addition, Emilie's divine power could be used for construction.

Having learned of Alain's title, Louis knew that in the future there would be no shortage of materials. Moreover, Emily had mastered her divine power, so the only problem would be controlling her skill. And that's why he had to work on it.

Besides, it was all he had to do. Apart from his work as an administrator, which he intended to continue.

He hadn't received a role quest. Perhaps he was doing his job too well?

His smile widened as he thought about this.

Since the time he had been running away, he had made good progress. At first, the villagers didn't like him very much. They just couldn't understand why he would run away from someone as kind and competent as his mother.

He had to admit that she had results. But he didn't like her methods. And surely no other villager would have liked it, had they know her methods. The only ones likely to know about it would be some important person of Cleppe. But they would deny everything.

Louis went back to bed shortly afterward.

The next day, Nirl - Church

The church wasn't the only place where Emily worked. Not far from it was a building used to house orphans. Fortunately, there weren't many of them, since a relative often took them in after their parents died.

Emilie was currently in meditation. She had free time because this orphanage was also composed of grown-up children who could help her. Moreover, the villagers would always teach them something. At this moment, they were probably being trained by Manon.

Emilie thought about the system.

[Main quest (role): ''perfection''. Improve the lives of the villagers.

Progression 0%.

Reward: Villagers will generate faith in Nirl. Through this, their scattered energy will be accumulated and transformed into fate. Fate may be useful for Nirl.]

'I think my duties are being confused' She smiled slightly.

In reality, her role wasn't to support the village. She only came here because she wanted to. The confusion was made because 'Alain' was fixated on Eva, who was a member of a sect.

Although the name 'sect' was debatable, as it was given to a part of the church after the revolution. It was at the same time that the calendar changed.

Emilie began to practice. Closing her eyes, she visualized her energy center. It was strong and kept its energy in without weakening.

However, its energy was yellow. A particular feature. It was mostly filled with sacred energy.

She had a real talent for sacred energy. In fact, while a priest receiving the blessing could normally only transform 30% of his energy into sacred energy, she could transform over 60%. If she couldn't control that much, Alain would have died in the confrontation with the boar.

Humans weren't called weak for nothing. Nirl may have been weak, but compared to other villages on the border, or even elsewhere, Nirl wasn't so weak. And this was also because Nirl was old.

Emilie didn't respect the ancient texts just because someone told her to. And she might reject them either if the situation demanded it. It's just that she liked the ancient values. And that's was why she had chosen Nirl. A village where she could both help and live a happy life.

To return to the subject, her particularity wasn't a blessing, it was far from it.

Her accumulated sacred energy wasn't her own energy. She hadn't transformed it as the paladins did, but used it in its natural state.

The problem was that her energy center was split into 3 zones. Her spiritual energy filled around 20% of her energy center, something natural. But then, there was her sacred energy that was much more prominent than normal. Thus, it only leaves about 10 to 20% of pure energy.

At the same level, her power would exceed the norm, but she would never reach the same level as someone else as her progress would be too slow. Resources could help, but no one would give them away for free. Especially not to a weak person.

Being able to recover pure energy was therefore a huge advantage for Emily.

Quickly using the energy she had generated during the night, Emily set out to do some quests.
