Chapter 56





This is the unique skill of the Inquisitor, Heresy Designation.

When witnessing inappropriate behavior, it’s a skill that can forcibly activate PVP.

It had a very unique mechanism, but…

Due to its conditional activation, it felt quite passive.

For example, like right now.

“This is my party.”

I stepped up to protect Akachan from Golden Sun.

Golden Sun looked back and forth between me and Akachan, then scoffed.

“Using a mace as your main weapon, you must be the Inquisitor, right?”

“···.”

Silence was an unspoken affirmation.

Did this boost his confidence?

Golden Sun’s wicked smile turned toward Akachan.

“The Inquisitor is the number one party-rejected class. What was the name of their exclusive skill again…? Oh, Heresy Designation. That’s basically a skill that can’t be used except for PVP, meaning it practically has no exclusive skills! Compared to paladins or full-fledged priests, I think it’s lacking in merit…”

Damn Golden Sun.

Such an unnecessary gaming expert.

I couldn’t refute him at all.

“So, how about you ditch that Inquisitor and join our raid instead?”

Swoosh—

Golden Sun placed his hand on Akachan’s shoulder.

Any further skinship was systemically blocked, but…

Just watching was suffocating, and I could hardly breathe.

Is this how the protagonist feels when getting NTR’d?

Especially since that bastard Golden Sun.

He’s using informal speech with me, yet treating Akachan politely and sweetly.

Everything from start to finish was irksome.

“I’m going with some older siblings this time? Ah, but they’re really high spec, so it’s a bit like a local guide? Just a comfortable raid…”

“Cut it out.”

Akachan interrupted Golden Sun mid-sentence with an expression mixing disdain, irritation, and anger.

Was it because she wasn’t a real maid golem in reality?

I instinctively took a step back at Akachan’s unfamiliar expression.

“A person like you isn’t needed even if I had a truckload.”

Momentarily surprised by this new side of Akachan, my mind quickly filled with, ‘This isn’t so bad!’

Trembling—

Golden Sun lowered his head in rejection from Akachan’s blunt refusal.

Was he frustrated? Well, he must be.

After all that appeal and the confidence he showed…

Getting shot down like that would certainly hurt his pride.

“What a bitch…”

But setting his pride aside…

Golden Sun crossed the line.

He expressed his rejection a bit too harshly for the recruitment proposal.

Throwing outright insults to my face?

Anyone could see this was an inappropriate act.

Heresy Designation. Designation target: Golden Sun.

Reason: Use of insults and hateful expressions.

[Inquisitor ‘Pera’ is starting heresy judgment.]

[Stigma of the Church!]

[PVP is forcibly activated.]

“What, what’s happening?”

“Acting like you know all about Inquisitors, huh?”

Ever since I had the supreme failure in enlightenment content…

I collected various enlightenment points and finally obtained tier one skills.

Sanctuary.

A skill similar to ‘Domain Expansion’ from an anime meme.

It bestows debuffs to enemies and beneficial buffs to the caster and allies.

Moreover, from time to time, a Valkyrie would appear in the sanctuary, attacking enemies before disappearing.

“You’ve never been hit by Heresy Designation, have you?”

I immediately used Sanctuary to expand the area.

Inquisitors don’t lose to heretics.

Unless there’s an overwhelming spec difference between us.

And currently, Golden Sun’s specs were about on par with mine.

“No shit. We need to get to the Elder Lich Raid. Are we not ending this?”

“Really?”

Besides Sanctuary, I used another tier one skill, Divine Wrath.

Divine Wrath is an attack skill boasting performance similar to a Mage’s Chain Lightning.

The holy power amplified by Sanctuary, Heresy Designation, and Blessing…

Became the wrath of heaven and struck down on Golden Sun’s head.

Boom-!

With the Divine Wrath that descended from the sky, Warrior Golden Sun collapsed squarely.

I couldn’t help but open my mouth at such a pathetic sight.

“You can’t even parry that?”

“Who can parry lightning?!”

“Well, there are some.”

The reliable vanguard of the Major Corporation Party, Pagu.

That guy who is 39 years old in real life could probably handle Divine Wrath with ease.

Did I overestimate it too much?

No, that wasn’t it.

Elder Lich Raid. One of Akare’s end content.

Even though the Twisted World Tree Raid just came out recently…

The Elder Lich Raid was still active, and the abundance of people gathered at the Forward Base proved that.

Top-tier advance party, ranked users.

Even if it wasn’t that level, it was a place where well-ranking users gathered.

How did a guy with such terrible skills make it this far?

“Riding on connections, I guess…”

“Bastard.”

Ah, was this the rage trigger?

I healed Golden Sun, who displayed an immediate reaction.

Huh? Why heal the enemy suddenly?

You might wonder this, but it was a calculated move.

The duration of the PVP forcibly activated by the heresy judgment is quite generous.

About 10 minutes? During that time, we had to keep PVP going until one side died.

In other words, as long as the opponent doesn’t die, I could keep him captured.

Above all, torturing the heretic while not letting him die was part of the isekai authenticity.

“You have to take me down before going to the raid. Don’t give up, keep fighting!”

“You crazy bitch…”

After that, I proceeded with the PVP, controlling delicately so as not to break the toy.

It might look like I was bullying him unilaterally, but…

What could I do? The one who started this was that bad-habit Golden Sun.

Thinking of him putting his hand on Akachan’s shoulder…

Crushing that hand with my judgment hammer didn’t relieve my irritation, and it took several repetitions of this act to feel a bit calmer.

Thus, Golden Sun was continuously beaten while in a disabled state, healing in between.

As the remaining time dwindled, just as the PVP was about to end…

“May your soul find peace.”

The mace I wielded shattered Golden Sun’s skull, and what was once Golden Sun was reduced to dust.

Chatter—

Only after the heresy judgment was over did I notice the crowd that had gathered around me, lowering my head.

Although I had been featured in the community and several Major Corporation Parties…

The overwhelming attention felt burdensome still.

A moment when I wanted to hide in a rat hole.

Akachan took my hand.

“Let’s go to the raid.”

“Y-yeah…”

I entered the Elder Lich Raid, escorted by Akachan.

***

Inventory.

A prominent game web magazine and large community in Korea.

Regardless of whether it’s local or international, any game with a certain scale has communities created under names like OO Inventory.

The Akashic Record also had an inventory.

Akashic Record Gallery. Akashic Record Bulletin Board. Akashic Record Inventory.

The gaming communities related to Akare were thus comprised of three major pillars.

The inventory had unique headings not found in the gallery or bulletin board.

Incident Reports Page.

A place to log incidents, accidents, disputes, and so on that occur in-game.

Most of the posts here were formatted as “Today, I experienced this.” diaries.

Therefore, unless an incident drew significant attention, it typically faded into oblivion.

However, a post by the user nicknamed “Golden Sun,” titled “Documenting an Inquisitor,” quickly surged as a hot topic.

Even breaking the unspoken rule of typically not sharing bait from other pages.

―――

[Lv.3] Golden Sun / Raid Recruitment Shield Documenting Inquisitor ‘Pera’.

(All of Golden Sun’s insults edited out video)

At the beginning when I looked down on the ‘Inquisitor’ class?

I acknowledge it.

That was my fault, and I’m sorry for that.

But does that justify randomly initiating PVP?

I offered because your party member looked like a high-spec mage.

Did that mage rudely refuse me?

Honestly, I had done something to the Inquisitor first, so I overlooked it, thinking it was okay. Therefore, I planned to recruit another person.

Then suddenly, you grab onto me and initiate heresy designation, right?

Forcing me into PVP with that skill.

This person is really malicious because while I was incapacitated, they kept healing me to ensure I wouldn’t die.

Thanks to that, I wasted a precious 10 minutes of our raid time.

I will document this to prevent others from falling victim for public interest.

From the moment Pera was documented in the community…

Topics regarding this circulated through the Akashic Gallery.

Typically, the Inventory is a place to look up information or strategies about the game.

But today, the gallery users were enjoying a dopamine fest.

Claims that Pera is Aurora’s alternate account were already established as a theory in the Akashic Gallery.

The Director’s alternate account was documented in the Inventory’s incident report?

That was a violent phrase.

This goes beyond just a dopamine release.

It felt as if I was not just showering in dopamine but also having additional dopamine forced into my brain.

And Aurora, a chronic Akasha gallery lurker and dopamine addict, right now…

“They’re telling me to start a clarification stream?”

“Yeah. Why not just debut now?”

She was being threatened with a streaming debut from Suzuka, who had been eyeing Pera all along.
