095 – Hyde enters the snake’s den! #3

“My love, Psyche, the absence of something precious is felt greatly when it is not by your side.

It’s already been three days since I spent sodomy.

I once again realized what a faithful woman you were, Psyche.

When it comes to sodomy in the city where I live, all kinds of cults are running rampant.”

“Ah.”

Sze-.

As I was writing on paper, I put down everything I was holding on the table and pressed my thumbs around my eyes in an attempt to massage my puffy eyes.

I feel like my vision is blurring because of the dark lantern.

At this level, wouldn’t it be brighter if you open the window and write in the moonlight?

Giik, tak-.

While I was talking, I got up from my seat and opened the window.

Then, the noise and screams of loud drunkards began to be heard outside.

“야이 개새끼야! I’ll kill you!”

“뭐 이 개새끼야! Do you know who I am!”

The inn where I was staying and the surrounding area were never quiet for a single day.

Probably the entire sodomy in this city with a population of 50,000 is like that.

Sodomy, like Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible, was a place so corrupt that there was no answer.

It was a place like a den where all kinds of criminals, including pickpockets, swindlers, heretics, murderers, cultists, robbers, etc., who were trying to outwit each other, were hiding.

“It has become a land where the words of the church cannot be found.”

Even though the sodomy I remember from 5 years ago was a dirty and filthy place, it wasn’t to this extent.

At least there was a branch of the denomination and it maintained a somewhat plausible ‘form’.

but-.

The sodomy church I visited this time had completely withdrawn from the church.

All the church buildings were burned down or became dirty houses for heretics, and no one kept the Sabbath day holy.

It was truly a terrible place.

“But even in the dirty and filthy Sodom and Gomorrah, there was one righteous person. This is Abraham’s nephew Lot. And even in this sodomy, there is only one righteous person.”

It was me, Hyde.

I was convinced that I was the only one in this sodomy who truly feared and believed in the Lord Elohim.

It’s truly a foreign land.

A land of foreign tribes and foreign gods.

In this place, I felt the spirit of challenge and the providence of the Lord Elohim.

“When the Lord came down to this earth in human form, he traveled around immoral and corrupt places, preaching and making disciples.”

priest.

Where they really needed to be was not a pious and elegant chapel or church.

Battlefields where people die and back alleys full of fraudsters.

And this sodomy-like place was the place where priests were supposed to evangelize and enlighten people with faith and words.

“Here, I, Hyde, will realize my grand dream… !”

Sze-.

I raised my clenched hand.

To build a church in this sodomy and further purify it completely to the point where the entire city can be dedicated to the Lord.

That is the mission given to me─.

I thought so, had no doubts, and felt like it was actually possible.

“Why have you been making fun of yourself since a while ago? Have you finally lost your mind?”

Then I heard Satan’s voice behind me.

I turned my head and saw Milione standing there, holding a wooden beer glass full of foam in his hand.

“Hey. I brought water.”

You crazy bitch!

It’s beer, not water!

“milli. According to the words of the Bible, it is written not to drink alcohol.”

Genesis, Judges, Numbers, Deuteronomy, 1 and 2 Samuel—and so on and so forth.

A huge number of Bible verses strongly warn against human drinking.

People shouldn’t drink alcohol.

Soon Milione spoke.

“Isn’t it okay as long as you don’t get drunk? The evangelist Paul said in his letter to the Ephesians, “Do not get drunk.” I won’t get drunk if I drink this. And the Lord also drank wine with his disciples, right?”

Drinking alcohol for believers.

It was an unresolved problem even in the 21st century.

In order to live a social life, you have to drink alcohol at company dinners, etc., but what should a preacher do? I hear the same story all the time.

Dinner place.

For Christians, it has always been a place that makes them worry more and more.

Of course, according to strict religious regulations, alcohol was strictly prohibited at all times.

However, there were also those who interpreted the rules loosely, feeling that Jesus did not drink wine with his disciples, or that it was okay to not get drunk.

Such people thought that since Jesus drank wine, I can drink too, but they did not even try to follow the example of the Lord who took off his clothes and did good deeds for the poor.

Guys like Milione.

“Hyde. Why don’t you give up now? In this sodomy, all the guys who behave like you are either dead or kicked out. You will soon be like that too, right?”

give up-.

Are you saying that I should become corrupt and abandon my faith like the people who commit sodomy?

That was simply impossible!

The afternoon when the sun rises brightest.

I went out to the square where people were coming and going.

Then he opened the table and books he had prepared in advance and shouted at the people.

“Repent! Heaven is at hand! The heaven spoken of here is not only heaven, but it is also heaven in people’s hearts!”

When it comes to public sermons among people, there is nothing better than Matthew 4:14.

When the Lord first preached the gospel to people, he started with these words.

Former 21st century seminarian.

The youngest doctor of theology at Barakhan Theological University.

“To lose one’s faith is to lose everything—!!!”

A bronze priest who is more pious and faithful than anyone else!

My sermon was enough to shake people’s hearts!

“Hey, that guy is back again.”

“Noisy guy!”

“He ran away after being poured cold water, but he came again today!”

Muhahaha! Everyone is interested in my sermon!

However, perhaps because my meaning was so high and far away, these sodomy people seemed to have difficulty understanding my sermon.

“The words of the Bible can sometimes feel difficult. But it doesn’t matter! Because I brought you a new book today! Hyde’s latest work, following “The Village of Back Alley Nymphs”!”

I wrote a letter to Psyche last night, while at the same time planning and writing my new work.

If my previous work, “Village of Back Alley Nymphs,” was a fairy tale for children, this work was a culmination of my theological essence, written with a target audience of all ages and genders.

“Now, the book “What is Faith” written by Hyde, the greatest priest in the United Kingdom, is now being sold for 1 gold coin! I also included my autograph in the 10th volume of the first edition!”

An event that could almost be compared to Steve Jobs coming to life and selling iPhones on the street.

It was clear that no one would be able to bear it.

1 gold coin.

This is practically nothing.

If it were me, I would buy it right away.

“… … .”

But people’s reaction was lukewarm.

How bad is the economic situation of this sodomy?

“Only 5 silver coins per book!”

ruler!

Hurry and buy it!

“5 fairy tales!”

Sarah!

But people didn’t even show any interest.

I became more aware of how poor and difficult people are in this sodomy, and it made me reflect on it.

“Now! I will give away Hyde’s religious books for free!”

The Lord told us to share for those who have none.

My theological essence of being miraculously immersed in this strange world and even gaining a second life through the Holy Grail was, in fact, priceless even in money.

Since that is the case, giving it away for free was an action befitting a disciple of the Lord!

Well, I still have a long way to go!

I never thought I would realize my own shortcomings in this way.

But I guess I was able to realize this because I am a person of faith.

“It’s free! Take them all!”

“Is it really free?”

oh!

Someone approached me.

He was a middle-aged man with hair as shiny as the sun.

Hair shining like the sun.

It was clear that he was a person with light in his heart.

“Even in this sodomy, there remains a righteous person like the sun who cannot be hidden. I’ll give it to you for free, so please read as much as you want.”

Suddenly I felt worried.

What should I do if I give it out to people for free and then word spreads and people start making a fuss about taking my religious book, “What is Faith?”

What if I beg you to sell it to me, saying I will sell it to you for 10 gold coins each?

It must be really difficult.

When I thought about that, the man with hair like the sun opened his missing front teeth and said,

“No. I don’t mean to read it. I was going to the bathroom, but I needed something to wipe. This would be perfect. The paper also looks soft. Perfect for wiping my ass.”

“… What?”

“Priest nobleman. Let me tell you something. “What is faith?” Who on earth would read something like this? This is what a book means.”

Sze-.

The bald man took out an old book from his arms.

The title was written as “Devil”.

“Look at this. This is a real book. In this book, the main character, Rust, says: What is sex! We are all human beings born from sex! In other words, we are all sex! nice! This is the truth! The truth is so simple and clear. Do you understand?”

Is this true?

How dare you compare the kindling of the demonic type mixture to a book containing my theological essence!

I couldn’t stand it.

“The Devil is a mixed type book and is a very low-quality book. How can you compare such a subversive book to my book? Impossible─.”

“Ugh!? Yes Inooom!!! How dare you insult Mr. Rust!!! Compared to Mr. Rust, you are a fool wasting the world’s air!!!”

Warak – A bald head with his hands raised.

He seemed very excited.

“Like this.”

I wasn’t even angry.

These people were so ignorant that they didn’t even know they were making a mistake.

Instead of getting angry at these people, we should have kindly educated and taught them.

“Listen everyone! Rust is a coward! The proof is that his face is covered with a mask! Can you imagine what face is underneath that mask? Obviously─.”

Kwajangchang-.

Before I could finish speaking, someone smashed my sermon podium.

Then he picked up my book and tore it up or burned it with a torch he had brought from somewhere.

“Khaha! This is the candlelight play that appeared in “Non-Virgin”!”

“Good! good! Burn it all!”

“I feel like my body is getting hot too! Truly Rust is great!”

These crazy people!

Burn all my books!

My manuscript was there too!

The barbaric people who burned my books did not stop at destroying the podium and books.

They surrounded me and finally shouted loudly.

“Let’s all beat this guy up!”

“Let’s make it impossible to preach again!”

If I continue like this, I will be beaten to death!

What should I do?

I, a Rust person, get beaten to death by his followers!

I’m not afraid of death, but if I die now, there are so many things I won’t achieve!

It was then.

“Everyone stop!”

Someone appeared.

With that appearance, people began to bow their heads one by one, and it seemed that a person of considerable authority and status had appeared in this sodomy.

Sze-.

A woman finally appears.

People spoke to her.

“ is Lord Galatea!”

“Is it real? This is my first time seeing the real thing! Such a big name appears here!”

“Our faith in Rust has summoned Galatea to this place!”

Kkkk!

Among the frantic people, my vision became dizzy.

… Is this true?

It was a time when I was somehow holding on to my dizzying vision in many ways.

Galatea, wearing white armor, spoke to me.

“Monk Hyde, no. I guess I’ll have to call him Lord Hyde now. It’s been a while.”
