Villainous Retribution

- Hiatus! Coming back this 2024 - "Now tell me," Siegren mouthed dangerously. "Where is the numen of the Fallen God?" ** After the Fallen War, all realms of Aeterna were destroyed, and what is left is a crumbling remnant of the mortal world. Scattered in the four continents of this remnant are fragments of the fallen god's power—the numen. A chosen few were known to harbor the knowledge about the numen, and one of them is Lumi, a priestess who was imprisoned in a temple as a catalyst for divine power. One night, a gruesome massacre occurred in the temple, freeing Lumi from imprisonment. The attacker was Siegren, a mysterious man who has the ability to render divine power worthless. With a sword on the throat of the head priest, he asked for the numen of the fallen god. Lumi, who wanted to escape her predestined fate as the catalyst for power, offered a deal to the one who killed more than half of the temple's clerics—the man named Siegren. In exchange for his assistance in her journey to reunite with her parents, she would guide him to find the twelve lost pieces of the fallen god's power. Without the fear of retribution, the two embark on a journey to attain each of their objectives... only to find out that nothing about Aeterna is what it seems. ———————— • Both OP and Weak-to-strong tag is applicable as MC’s strength may appear OP at first, but as he discovers more enemies, he realizes he is not strong enough • Since MC collects numen of power, he gradually grows stronger • FMC and MC develops friendship as the story progresses • No harem • MC is an antihero but isn’t a psycho who randomly kills people. ———————— This is my entry for WSA 2022!

Tainted

"Where is it?" Lumi inquires—"where is this collar's controls?"

'It has to be a necklace, or a bracelet, or a ring…' Lumi thought as she scanned his body.

However, his cloak has covered his entire body. Lumi then pushed the dagger to the collar of his cloak. As his shawl was undone, a sapphire necklace then gleamed.

But then before she could even reach to the necklace, the cloaked man pinned her down to the floor, flipping their position. Lumi then swung the dagger forward, which he averted by jumping away from her.

Lumi used this point in time to stand and advance to the Nephilim.

While she couldn't use her divine power, she used physical means to attack. Another advantage she had is that the cloaked man wasn't to inflict any major injury to her as she was the temple's catalyst…

Or so she thought.

Lumi then parted her lips, coughing blood as the Nephilim gave her a punch in the stomach.

She then fell to her knees, gasping as her stomach churns from the sudden impact.
