Seeing Irene standing in the dark alone, Mikhail had many questions on his head and the fact that she was looking horrified as if she had seen a ghost made his suspicions even more plausible.
Getting behind her Mikhail spoke to her to try to look at what got her all worked up.
"Hey are you okay, what are you looking at so intensively?"
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!"
An echoing cry shocked the whole mansion, waking up everyone. Irene fell down on the floor and started crying like there was no tomorrow.
Watching this Mikhail became more confused.
"Hey what happened, why are you crying? Hmm what is that smell?"
Soon he heard the noise of rapid footsteps coming this way. Mikhail knew if he stayed here there would be misunderstanding.
So he took his leave for now and decided to show up later, disappearing in this dark night was pretty easy for him.
So several people showed up one after another and that included Mikhail too.
***********************************************
"Damn, that was really a misfortune. I don't even know what to think about it.
The biggest problem is that I am fucking late. It's only 3 at night. I hope everyone is asleep now."
Sneaking out of the mansion Mikhail jumped over the fence and safely landed on the ground.
Looking at the almost dark mansion with only the fourth floor having some light under the moonlight, Mikhail let out a sigh.
'The people of these times are too poor to afford candles to light the entire mansion.
Only the fourth floor is somewhat lit. If I knew Irene was so afraid of the dark I could have offered up my room.
I only hope I am not too late for the event.'
The entire forest was dark but Mikhail didn't care.
"Purple go and scout the surroundings for me."
Listening to Mikhail's words, the cute blob started bouncing ahead of him.
The blob didn't need any light and was the best guide in the dark.
Reaching the village Mikhail finally understood what the event was, and looking at it he knew he was late to the party.
The picture in front of him looked like it came straight from an apocalypse. There were burning houses everywhere and the for boarding silence didn't indicate any survivors.
Walking down the burnt streets surrounded by charged buildings on all sides he found that there was no one around, not even a single corpse was in sight.
Looking at the restless bouncy blob excited to go somewhere, he chuckled, 'Looks like you know where all the fun is going on. Why don't you show me the way then.'
Hearing the affirmative order of the master the purple jelly quickly bounced towards the location.
"I had already guessed that it was in the graveyard, but it looks like you have confirmed it.
I hope the girl is safe even though she was annoying but I wanted to meet her for another few days. It would have been great to know about her portions even more.
Again this lively place that had been bustling just yesterday in a moment of hours it became a ruined mess."
Reaching the church of the New gods he saw a green glow engulfing the entire place.
All the answers he needed are in this place at least according to the system.
Mikhail didn't approach the graveyard just yet he wanted to look around the place first and then move to the event zone.
Opening the wooden door he first saw the worshiping hall. Rows and rows of benches were lined in a neat manner.
Looking up he saw the roof covered in murals. Just one thing was off about them. They all were damaged in some way or had their images dedicated.
Moving farther he saw the place was vandalized and all the holy artefacts were all destroyed with their pieces lying on the ground or maybe stolen.
But all these didn't bother Mikhail. He only looked at the somewhat discernible images of the gods and stood there wondering about things only he himself knew.
"System can you tell me about these gods?"
No answer came from the system.
"... I see so you want me to go there. Fine, I will play along."
Rather than exiting from the back door and getting to the grave yard behind the church he rather started to walk upstairs.
The upper floors were the rooms for the priests, nuns and all the other people who lived and worked in the church.
This place was also a complete mess. The doors were broken, all the furniture was ransacked and there were traces of a fight, especially the blood stains on the ground which were solid evidence of it.
Going higher he finally reached the roof. The roof door was locked but a few beaten from the hilt of the sword did the trick.
Opening the door he finally saw what was on the opposite side of the church. It was a huge space, this was accepted because it was church property but what caught the eye was the small mountain of corpses.
The green hue of the surrounding made this place look even more sinister.
"Sigh I have seen enough movies to tell what is going to happen next."
There were only a few people alive walking around and making patterns on the ground, it seemed that was even a leader giving instructions.
Soon all the members of this unknown cult stopped what they were doing and ran quickly to get behind the leader.
Then they all started to chant together as if to start a ritual. Their chants echoed through the night as the green hue started to become darker and darker.
Soon even the dead bodies started twitching as if they would come alive at any moment.
"System, do you have any explanation for this?"
*Cackle* *Cackle*

[Host this is your only way to win
\If you don't do anything the cultist would succeed in their ritual and an ambomination would be summoned on this plane.]
It was a girl with orange hair laughing looking at his expression. Mikhail looked at her and spoke with .
"If I remember properly, you are from the hero's party. Are you behind this incident."
"Hahahahaha give me a break, how long are you going to act like that, now you can stop acting."
All of a sudden the tension in the atmosphere disappeared.
"Humph well then Author tells me what is going on. The rules you make are too absurd and the stuff you write are .... well I don't even want to talk about it. ", he said jokingly.
"Lol."
"So it's something that matters, your plot seems to be inconsistent."
"Forget about the plot."
I might be late but I won't miss out on the fun
