Regulus understood exactly what was about to happen! He already read about old men trying to ra*e young boys before. It was called pedophile right!? He had no idea that the new priest was one of them!
They heard people shouting from behind them and Regulus realized that they were being chased! He and the boy began to cut through corners. There was a door on the other side of the church that would lead to the back. The front was always locked at this time so he could only hope that the back would be open!
But one of the old men managed to grab onto Regulus' shirt and pull him back with a yank! The old man was breathing heavily and trying to catch his breath because he was so tired. Regulus didn't even think about anything at that moment, he just grabbed the nearest thing to him and swung it like a bat! The plate of holy communion that Regulus took slammed into the old man's temple and rattled his brain! The old man was already tired and he wasn't even strong at all, so once the plate hit him, the old man slumped to the ground as his eyes rolled to the back of his head!
Regulus tried to calm down and fear started to creep into him when he realized that the man was no longer breathing. Did I kill him!? I killed him!!? I can't kill him! What will the Lord think! The Lord is against killing!
But didn't I do it to save a life? Would the Lord mind if I did it to save someone!? The Lord will not mind right!? No, he won't! I did it for the Lord!
Regulus strengthened his resolve and quickly grabbed the boy again before starting to run again. There were still three people after them. Regulus knew that they wouldn't be able to make it to the other side of the church with the pace they were using. If he didn't do something here, then they would get caught!
So Regulus took the boy and hid him under a table before he grabbed a long crucifix that was almost as big as a bat and stood at the corner of the next corridor. Once he heard the old men coming, Regulus swing the crucifix and slammed it into the face of the first person! Blood splurted out the old man's nose like a fountain and the other one behind him swore and quickly tried to help him.
The priest yelled out in anger and brought out a knife from his inner robes. What a useless child! Why didn't he just pretend that nothing was happening like all the other boys!?
He swung down to stab Regulus, but Regulus easily sidestepped it and tackled the priest's legs! He was too short to tackle the priest normally, but once he tackled the legs, the Priest lost his balance and fell forward on his knife!
Squelch!!
Regulus moved back a little as blood began to flow out from under the priest. Regulus turned the body around and he had to swallow down vomit when he saw that the knife had gone through the priest's chest! I did it for the Lord. I did it for the Lord. I did it for the Lord! I-I did it for the Lord!
Regulus kept chanting like this in his mind because there was nothing else he could think of right now. if he even stopped chanting then he was sure he would have a serious mental breakdown!
"Y-You monster! You monster!"
The last man there tried to run away immediately, but Regulus wouldn't let the man escape! He grabbed the knife out of the priest's chest without thinking and raced after the old man! He just managed to catch him before he could run out the back door and Regulus stabbed deep into his back with the knife as they both fell out the door!! The snow on the ground turned a deep dark red as the man died in the cold.
After that, Regulus was taken away from the church and put in a juvenile center.
Regulus didn't understand why he was being put there. People called him a monster. He killed a priest and three old men. No one cared about the story of the little boy. There was no sign of sexual abuse on any of the boys and the boy Regulus saved was being treated for trauma so whatever he said would not be taken at face value. Even if the boy could speak, no one would overlook Regulus killing four people, all they cared about was seeing the person who killed a priest brought to justice.
Why am I the one being taken away? No one bothered to listen to me. Is it wrong to kill people who want to do bad? Do they deserve to live even after what they tried to do!?
Regulus had these thoughts inside of his cell with his orange jumpsuit on him. He was curled up in a ball at one edge of an empty room. He was in solitary confinement and he wasn't allowed to be with other inmates because they thought he was too dangerous. Someone who can kill a priest without even flinching was too dangerous.
Regulus was in there for eight years before he finally got a pardon from the city and was released into society again. Regulus joined the church once more. He might have bad memories from it, but he still believed that the Lord was only guiding him towards the truth! He would serve the Lord and do his work in all things!
People avoided him since they didn't see him as a good person, but Regulus didn't mind. He didn't care about people anymore. They are always blinded by their stupidity. Can they not see that he was just doing the Lord's work? He would wait for the people who understood him to come. They were out there somewhere, and Regulus knew he would find them in time.
And then, he got his first notification!
[Departure time - 24:00:00]
Regulus was shocked by the screen in his vision and he tried to see if it wasn't a dream. He tried everything to manipulate or interact with the screen, but nothing was working! So he eventually started to ignore it and he told himself that whatever the Lord wishes will happen!
.....
His first time in the void was strange for him. A beautiful woman was telling him that he is supposed to save the world. Him? He is being chosen by the Lord for such a great purpose!?
"Is it the Lord? The Lord asked me to do this, right!? It has to be the Lord!!"
Regulus asked this with wide, excited eyes and Dorea felt a sweat run down the back of her neck. She was just here to send him on his way but why did she feel like she was releasing a monster upon the world. Would it be okay to give power to someone like this?
Well, it is not her choice. The scientist said that this system chose Regulus so there is nothing she can do about it. If Regulus wants a reason, then telling him that the Creator wanted him to do it should be a good enough reason. Besides, this really is the will of the creator. And the creator is greater than any Lord this mortal is talking about.
"Yes, the Creator is the one sending you. I hope you can achieve your goal and make him happy"
Regulus felt joy fill him! He was being given a task by the Lord! He has to do his best to achieve it no matter what!!
Regulus was sent away to the future to begin his journey. The first zombie he met made him stop in shock! What sort of demonic possession was this!? Pale skin and white eyes!? Is this not the work of the devil!
His shock didn't make him react quickly enough and this allowed the zombie to bite him on his hand!
Regulus stepped back in shock before he used his hand to slam down on the neck of the zombie! The neck bent in half before the entire head disintegrated into nothing!!
Regulus looked at his hand and then back at the zombie! Was that him!? There is no way!?
Regulus looked up to see his screen again.
