There I was.
A little girl, with a book in both hands, learning much more about this world.
Oh, I didn't know she was narrating.
I guess this... is faster than I expected.
But I'm not going to beat around the bush and be direct with things, to put it in simple terms for anyone to understand, I was reborn in another world.
Crazy, right?
Although the most frustrating thing is that I don't remember who the hell it was that pushed me onto the train tracks, I think after four years, I can't really worry about that kind of thing. Especially when I have met the minimum requirements to be another reincarnated in a fantasy world.
Seriously, what the hell is going on with this theme? It has been so used until now...
Although... I think I already said that two paragraphs ago, from the fact that I don't need to worry about things like that. Sure, under normal conditions, she would have been the daughter of a duke or she would be destined to marry a member of high society in a fantasy world, but no!
I would have been okay even if I had to be on one side of a relationship that starts with him being a cold man to me and I'm just forcing him to commit to myself.
We just aren't in that kind of world.
This is, in essence, the same as my original world, only with three important details that changed my perspective on things in the last four years:
1. I am not Korean, nor from a country with a strange name, now I am from Russia.
2. In this world humans can use magic.
3. We have been in a war of more than seven hundred years with the [Demons].
Is that enough to argue my answer? Master, I finished my exam, can I go to the arcade now?!
As I said, I can NOT worry about the normal things of a typical protagonist of this type of story, since I do not have the time for it. But hey, how does a girl as young as four keep so busy?
Well, we could say that the fact that I wear a robe - which I had to adjust to my size - that has magic in its manufacture capable of killing any demon that touches it is not a game.
I am an orphan, my parents were possessed by [Demons] and they killed each other. I only know this because I looked at it with my own eyes and it was without a doubt a bloodbath like no [R-rated] movie could have given me in my previous world.
The orphanage I was in until six months ago discovered that I have an insane amount of powers within me. And it's not a joke, I currently have stats that are almost 30,000 and I have a number of 15 skills with me.
I will explain.
In this world, there are two species with higher intelligence, which are [Humans] and [Demons]. What differentiates us is the amount of [Magic Units] that we can use, which on average, there is a difference of 16 [Magic Units].
The [Magic Units] are a total of 1,000 [MP], which is the unit in which the amount of [Magic] that we can use in a certain period of time is classified.
Another thing, this is not an RPG, this is real life. So the rules are very different, yes, there are [Potions] and stuff, however, the [Levels] that a [Human] can raise are limited. The current record is [Level 53], but I think in a few years that is going to go to waste a bit.
The reason why I find myself reading in a vehicle is for that very reason. One of the skills I have is called [Inexhaustible Growth] and - as the name suggests - it is a skill that allows me to level up without limit. Realizing that and the other abilities I possess, the orphanage gave my care to the [Holy Catholic Church] who have taken extreme measures to protect me.
Yeah yeah that's cool and all.
There are several skills that are related to Catholicism but none of them resemble what I possess.
Since I began to know about the things in my possession, I have been studying more and more. Now that I have spent some time in the probationary period, the one escorting me is a [Cardinal] who came from the [Holy See] to take me to the [Vatican].
Mm?
Didn't I mention it before?
Oh ok. What happens is that, in this world, the [Holy Catholic Church] is led by women, and the president is not called [Mama], but rather, [Matriarch]. That detail was not important to mention, although sooner or later they were going to figure it out on their own.
That is why the [Cardinal] is a woman. Her name is Emerida Giuntolli, and she is a pretty cool woman to tell the truth. Her unique ability is called [Teleology], which apart from reducing her physical aging rate, also allows her to decompose machinery ─that is, she reverse-engineers everything she touches from the wrist down─ . The downside to her is that she can't disable it and she has to wear gloves so that the objects don't have direct contact with her bare hands, which is where her ability is presented.
It is a fearsome ability, since I do not know if the principle of it can be applied in organic bodies. That is why I have been studying in order to learn about this world.
It also seems that I have a skill called [Wisdom], which allows me to store the content of any text I read in my memory and then access that content and learn it on my own.
In other words, I can put anything I learn directly into practice just by reading it once. Probably the only disadvantage that this has, is that I cannot forget the things I learned, and therefore, my mind will fill up little by little as more knowledge accumulates.
Well, what is the bad that can happen?
I look up from my book, just to see [Cardinal] so I can ask her.
─Have I done everything right so far? ─. My question is about something simple.
I ask about my results.
What I've been doing these last few months with her support is nothing to write home about.
The reason why I am going to see the [Matriarch] in such a short period of time compared to other members of the [Holy Catholic Church] is because of the title they awarded me as soon as the list of abilities I have was discovered.
I'll stop beating around the bush...
I have two titles with me. The first of these is [Corpus Christi], which is the headline provided towards people who are worthy of touching the [True Body] of the true [Jesus Christ]. There is no one in the world who has this title besides me.
This title has with it an ability called [Holy Grail] that contrasts with the origin of the title itself, since we are talking about the [Blood of Jesus Christ]. This ability allows me two things, the complete absolution of sins in the life of a man and the gift of providing the [Resurrection] to all those who drink from the [Chalice] that I come to consecrate.
They are very broken things and that, but they have their consequences. The fact that there is an ability that allows [Resurrection] would only make me a constant target of the [Demons] attacks, that's why the hood with the [Matriarchal Blessing] was provided to me, to avoid being susceptible to the attack of any demon.
But that only applies to physical attacks, since after all, having the title [Corpus Christi] makes me have a certain degree of [Prana] ─which is something like a 'Divine Aura'─ that makes me invulnerable to spiritual attacks that are aimed at my soul, or so the [Cardinal] says.
Then I have my second title, which as incredible as it may seem, is called [Bearer of the Cross of Saint Peter] and it is a title awarded to the future precursor of the [Holy Catholic Church] around the world. Saint Peter was the disciple of Jesus who was entrusted with the task of founding the same [Church], that is, Saint Peter was the first and only [Pope] in human history.
Since in the line of succession, the one who proceeded after the crucifixion of Saint Peter, in one way or another, became the daughter of Mary Magdalene. Since then, the early Church of man began to be led by women.
On top of the place where Saint Peter was crucified, the [Vatican] that we know today was built. And the cross of this same is a relic until now. The fact that I have an ability related to such a relic, within the current Catholic Church of this world, means that I am probably capable of using the [Cross of Saint Peter] as a weapon. The title also comes with two abilities, but we don't know what they do.
"Apocrypha" was what the [Cardinal] called me when we met for the first time while I timidly tried to hide from her in the silhouette of one of the nuns in charge of the orphanage.
But over the course of six months, I've been running around with her by my side. In that same period of time, I started wearing gloves just like her, this is due to the next ability I have after [Wisdom] whose effect you already know.
[Divine Touch] is the name given to this ability, which, like the [Cardinal's] [Teleology], is an ability that extends from my wrists downwards that allows me to administer my [Prana] towards everything I touch . There are no exceptions to this, and we check it by doing a few exorcisms where the [Demons] that possessed people lost their strength to a great extent just from being in the same environment as my bare hands.
A [Matriarchal] grade ability is what they should call it, as this is something a [Matriarch] would have. This type of religious ability is also known under the nickname of [Christian Stigmata], which are faculties provided to humans with some quality that Jesus Christ had in his life.
I was scared of myself knowing that I can perform one-touch exorcisms... and I think I got quite the attention of the [Demons] by doing that.
Then we have my next skill called...
[Holy Inquisition]
I'm really embarrassed to say that I have a skill with that name, I say this simply because... Who would want to have a skill that has to do with witch hunting?
The [Holy Inquisition] skill allows me two things that are very important, open your eyes wide to read it properly. First, it allows me to revoke and reset skills, stats, and levels on a person.
...
Yes. It's crazy. I know.
Second, whenever I kill a practitioner of [Evil Magic] ─which is what witches do and those who make contracts with [Demons] ─, I will be given the [Experience Points] of that person.
[Experience Points] are the unit of measure to rate the performance of those who use the [System] of this world. A certain amount of [Experience Points] is required to level up and the minimum level requirement will increase in proportion to the amount of [Levels] the person has.
[Prana Manipulation] and [Inexhaustible Growth] are my next abilities, whose functions are logical if we are guided by their names. I will not explain them.
Then comes... [Divine Word], which is a skill that allows me to make a prophecy once a month. That's right, I'm also a [Prophet] now. But it is not only about knowing what is going to happen, but [Divine Word] allows me to write what is going to happen in the future as long as I use my blood as ink. We know we need my blood to activate it because the [Cardinal] forced me to hurt myself to taste it...
Ahem, ignoring my current trauma.
We have two of the most broken skills that the protagonists of a story like this could have.
Listen commoners!
I, Minerva Ivanhoe - my current name - have two abilities that I can apply to my eyes!
[Divine Eye of Supernatural Reception]! This ability allows me to see the entire spectrum of light while I have the ability activated, the fact that I can see the entire spectrum of light, means that I am able to see and classify any type of [Demon] that is found in it. [Spiritual Plane]. That is very broken even for me!
And as if that weren't enough, the companion is worse.
[Divine Eye of Purification]! This ability allows me to send my [Prana] to a point or target with greater precision than my [Prana Manipulation] and to the extent that I want to. With this ability I can do what is known literally as "killing with the gaze".
Please take this poor soul out of this unbalanced character. I don't want to be part of this story.
All I wanted... was a quiet life in another world.
This is unlike anything I expected!
Why did I have to be reborn as an exorcist in another world?! Why can others marry dukes, princes or even kings, what did I do to deserve this?! I need Raeliana to return all my admiration! I don't care if the handsome Duke Noah Wynknight gets in my way, I'll kill her! I can't believe he expected a life in another world just as fanciful as that!
All the leading woman of manwhas and fantastic romance stories, can go to hell for me!
I repeat, fuck it!
