Heresy

"The more the Church supports me, the more it proves I have done the right thing. The more the heretics oppose me, the more it proves I have done the right thing." "Even when heretics praise me, it further proves I'm right. If heretics stay silent, it shows I have done impeccably!" "If the Church opposes me, it means they have all fallen into evil heresy, and the more heretics oppose me, the more it proves I have done the right thing." In the year 681, An Su was crowned the youngest Pope in the history of the Church. During his speech, he provided important guidance for the forthcoming de-divination work, emphasizing: "Now that both the Church and the heretics oppose me, it precisely shows I am on an exceedingly correct path!" ... The year 685. "It is not that the Evil God cannot be summoned, but that choosing him to take the stage is more cost-effective." Such was the assessment of the former holy woman of the demons, Yage Silvia. This statement, once made, instantly attracted attention from all sectors of society—the extensive documentary "The Legend of Pope An Su" continues to broadcast for you. —— This is a story of a top-tier heretical player speedrunning through a fantasy world.

In a world where the Sevengod Church rules with an iron fist, Oliver, a downtrodden acolyte fighting to survive, uncovers a chilling truth: the gods are dead, their thrones devoured by madness. The Church’s “Divine Circuits” are no sacred gift—they’re cursed chains, binding humanity to the rotting, ravenous deities they pretend to serve. Humans? Mere fodder, sacrificed to sustain the gods’ fading existence. Armed with the Blasphemy Codex System, Oliver embarks on a perilous path. With every god he defiles and every hypocritical priest he cuts down, the Codex fuels his power, growing stronger with each act of heresy. Divine beings cloaked in holy love, selfless clergy adored by all—Oliver rips away their shining masks to reveal the maggots squirming beneath. When the final lie crumbles in his bloodstained hands, the truth dawns: these gods never craved worship, only the terror in human eyes. Now, the Codex whispers of dead stars stirring awake, its pages brimming with secrets—keys to forge new gods from broken believers or shatter everything in a final, deafening roar. Will Oliver’s blade carve salvation, or crown him the deadliest monster this world has ever feared?

Elias Voss is a 21st-century economics student trapped in the body of Lorenzo di Civita , a debt-ridden spice trader in the oligarchic republic of Valenzo . In a world where merchant guilds control every aspect of trade—from silk roads to alchemical patents—Lorenzo’s only inheritance is a ramshackle stall and a death threat from the powerful Casa di Ferro guild. But Lorenzo has a weapon his enemies can’t fathom: modern economics . Using concepts like supply-chain optimization, futures markets, and decentralized networks, he begins smuggling contraband spices through pirate-infested waters, undercutting guild monopolies. As he recruits a ragtag alliance of sailors, alchemists, and disgraced nobles, Lorenzo’s shadow economy ignites a rebellion. Yet the guilds strike back. Assassins stalk his crew. A rival trader, Seraphina Contarini (heiress to a shipping dynasty), toys with him in a deadly game of romance and sabotage. Worse, Lorenzo’s innovations catch the eye of Duke Aurelio , the ailing republican leader, who sees in him a pawn to destabilize foreign rivals. When Lorenzo’s closest ally is publicly executed for heresy, he faces a choice: retreat to his newfound wealth or gamble everything to dismantle the guilds’ stranglehold. But as his revolution gains momentum, he realizes the greatest threat isn’t the oligarchs—it’s the vacuum of power he’ll leave behind.

In a futuristic world governed by Nano—a technology that grants humans god-like abilities—Takakura Toji was an anomaly. Unlike his peers, he did not put his faith in technology but in something greater: the one true God. Despite growing up poor, and facing hardships, he devoted his life to spreading the gospel.

Yet, he possesses neither divine magic nor any trace of the Nano technology that once defined his world. And despite his reincarnation, his name remains the same. With raw strength and instinctual combat abilities beyond human comprehension, Toji carves his way through enemies, catching the attention of warriors, nobles, and even kings.

As he searches for answers, Toji faces a world where faith is power, heresy is death, and unseen forces move against him. He must uncover the secrets of his existence and forge a path of his own—a path that may challenge the very gods of this world. For Toji, this is not just an isekai adventure. This is a battle for the truth.
