Betrayed by lies and consumed by the mob's fury, the idealistic politician met his end at the hands of the very people he sought to protect.

His legacy? Scorn.

His dream? Trampled beneath the boots of ignorance.

Never again will I serve the whims of the ignorant.

When he wakes up in a foreign world, his second chance comes not as a ruler or king but as a frail parish priest in the forgotten outskirts of the Holy Empire.

"The masses are nothing but tools—easily swayed, incapable of thought, and blind to reason. To lead is not to serve them, but to wield them."

Bound to a mysterious system that rewards with miraculous powers, he begins his ascent—as the Messiah.

Armed with the knowledge of his past life and a soul hardened by betrayal, he will transform this crumbling parish, climb the ranks of the Church, and carve a path to the pinnacle of power.

In a world ruled by faith and fear, he will forge a new order, not to serve but to dominate.

After all, a shepherd does not ask permission to lead the flock. He decides their fate.

Faith is his weapon.

Power is his goal.

Divinity is his destiny.
