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!

Rescued

[Focus, Vessel!]

Siegren's eyes then shot open at once. The hellfire has now spread without direction and control.

The image of the little girl vanished at once, but her presence lingered in him still. His disoriented state was quickly noticed by the Spectator, who then spoke to calm him down.

[Focus at the task at hand. You have to be in control. Emotions such as rage and regret is fueled by the malevolence within the numen, and if you will let them drive you, you will fall into depravity.]

Siegren then held the grip of his sword tightly. The Spectator was right; the numen was making him lose his cool, as it keeps on giving him flashbacks even in the middle of a battle. The numen triggers the emotions of the individual which further fuels corrupted mana. Left unregulated, it will consume the person until all rationality will cease to exist.

That is something he must avoid at all cost.
