“Wow…”

Although Go Ah-young and Lee Hyun-soo were already exceptional, the enhanced abilities after being designated as special devotees exceeded my expectations.

“Hyung! I suddenly became a special devotee of yours and awakened, and my abilities were enhanced!”

“Me too!”

They also seemed to have noticed their changes, showing a slightly surprised expression.

“If I had known, I would have left some behind!”

Wanting to borrow abilities but having converted all faith into points for enhancement, Cheon Sang-il, who had no faith left due to his trait, received help from the greatly enhanced abilities of Go Ah-young to navigate through the zombies comfortably.

“Just now, I received 10,000 points for defeating the zombie leading the horde.”

“I also got 8,000 points for defeating a mutant zombie just now.”

The sight of earning points by defeating zombies resembled people playing a game, but perhaps unconsciously thinking of it as a game helped us adapt more easily to the changed world.

“But now, I don’t think I can even handle ten zombies.”

“My magic is running low now…”

“I can still fight a little more.”

Go Ah-young was covered in sweat, unable to open her eyes properly, trembling, with injuries all over her body from the previous close combat, showing how serious the current situation was.

“Let’s go back to the elderly shelter for now.”

Remembering the moment of danger due to a brief moment of arrogance, Cheon Sang-il, who had added a bit of heaviness and seriousness to his previously light-hearted mind, managed to escape from hundreds of zombies and return to the elderly shelter.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, we’re really fine. Oppa…”

“If only I were as strong as hyung…”

Upon returning to the elderly shelter, I sincerely apologized to maintain the faith level.

“That situation was my fault, but that doesn’t mean we gained nothing from it.”

After a brief apology, I maintained a humble attitude and skillfully spun the situation to show that there was some benefit gained from it.

“Now, we can be more cautious. The world has changed, but by naturally thinking of points and skills like a game, we made our minds restless.”

Looking at the three listening to me, I continued to imprint in their minds that the crisis caused by arrogance could now be avoided to some extent.

“And just like that, we gained a sense of improvement to move forward in the face of the crisis we just experienced. We were satisfied with this level of progress, but seeing the sudden mutation of zombies like we just witnessed, with the zombies gradually becoming stronger and evolving, we realized that there may come a time when there will be unstoppable zombies, even if we all rush in. Knowing this fact, we will train ourselves even harder to prepare for the future.”

Taking a slight breath before delivering the final words, I continued.

“And in the recent situation, I achieved a second awakening using the ability I gained, making Ayeong, Heeseon, and Hyunsoo my special followers to achieve the second awakening. Unfortunately, due to the current limit of three members, Kanghyun couldn’t become a special follower yet. But as my abilities improve, he will surely become a special follower someday.”

As I finished speaking, Hyunsoo raised a question about the name of my ability.

“But doesn’t ‘follower’ mean someone who believes in a god, or believes in a religion? Why is your ability named ‘follower’?”

It would have been best to smoothly transition without receiving such questions, but since the question had already been raised, I provided the answer I had been thinking about.

“I think it’s a name given to the ability used for those who trust and follow me to that extent. It’s an ability that permanently enhances others, but if I enhance someone with shallow faith, it would just end up making them do good things for others.”

“Ah… now that you mention it, that makes sense.”

Seeing the lack of doubt or suspicion due to the faith that had already surpassed 30, I quickly changed the subject to talk about the second ability I gained through the second awakening, the ‘New World,’ to the three of them.

“Wow! So now you can live in that world created by the ability instead of the nursing home?”

“Most likely, the world created by the ability is superior in terms of safety or anything else compared to the nursing home, so if that happens, Heeseon can also be with us and utilize her abilities.”

The four of us sat at the table set by Heeseon, enjoying the meal she prepared as I continued the conversation. Meanwhile, I discreetly used my ability to check Heeseon’s changed stats.

[Stats]

Strength (D): 16 Agility (D): 17 Stamina (D): 14

Intelligence (D): 38 Spirit (D): 32 Magic Power (D): 10

Charm (E): 68

[Ability (1)]

[Ear’s]

– Depending on the feelings towards one’s master, the power of the skill can increase up to 7 times. (Currently 4 times)

[Skill (1)]

[Lv_2 Shield of God]

– Forms a shield using magic power.

After enjoying the meal Heeseon prepared for us, we informed the people in the nursing home about my ability.

“Let’s use it now to move the necessary belongings.”

“I’ll go in alone first. Just a moment.”

After telling Heeseon to wait a moment for the test of the ability, I used it.

Hum-

“Wow! It’s beautiful.”

After concentrating for about 10 seconds and using the ability, a spherical shape with the face of a child, blending golden and light purple colors harmoniously, floated gently on the palm of my hand.

“I’ll be back soon.”

“Oppa, come back safely.”

Focusing on the sphere emitting light to transition to the new world, my body turned into fine particles and dispersed, and before long, I saw a vast land in front of me.

“It’s wider than I thought.”

The information of the new world that came to mind as soon as I crossed over.

{New World}

– Human Talent: 2 times

– Growth speed of life excluding humans: 100 times

– Number of golden apples generated: 0

– Holy water generation speed: 0L/24h

Area: 1km²

And then, the things I could do in the new world came to mind.

‘In this world, as long as faith is infinite, I can do anything like a creator, right?’

Having finished contemplating how to utilize the new world, Cheonsang-il returned to the elderly dormitory with the combat trio and Si-hee-sun, instructing them to engage in sacred labor in the new world.

Thunk!

“Kkeungcha!”

Using his faith to create materials and then moving them with his abilities, Cheonsang-il received the materials from Go Ah-young and Lee Hyun-soo, diligently constructing.

“Summoning materials like this and having people build is much more efficient in terms of faith consumption.”

Meanwhile, Go Kang-hyun and Si-hee-sun were spreading the seeds of the plants I created on the ground, watering them evenly.

“Sang-il oppa! The seeds have already sprouted and seedlings are growing!”

Thanks to the growth speed of non-human flora being 100 times faster, shy seedlings were peeking out within an hour of being planted.

“Now, there’s no need to go out to gather food.”

Utilizing faith to create everything from water, animals, to plants, I marked the quest for food procurement as completed in my mind.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Harder than I thought.”

While I took charge of construction due to my knowledge, the change in my physical abilities from the increase in stats made it quite challenging. Building a structure for a hundred people to sleep and live in turned out to be much more difficult than I had anticipated.

“Ouch! My back!”

“Oof!”

“Oppa, I’m sorry. I’m done now.”

“My whole body keeps trembling and won’t stop…”

After two hours of continuous sacred labor, everyone, including myself, raised a white flag and decided to finish the rest of the work the next day, heading back to the elderly dormitory to get some rest.

“I wonder if this will be completed…”

Dreaming of constructing buildings, Cheonsang-il woke up at noon, had a very late breakfast, and brought the four of us back to the new world to start working.

“Phew!”

“Hyung, will this be completed?”

Taking breaks of 30 minutes every two hours, we worked until 8 o’clock, looking at the unfinished ground for the foundation and sighing.

“Still, we have to do it because it’s essential for others to rest comfortably.”

For the next three months, we lived the same day over and over, exhausted from the long hours of work.

“There! A little more to the left.”

“Be careful, hyung!”

Thunk!

“No, you have to drive it in a bit deeper.”

“Like this?”

Thud! Thud!

“Good! That’s it!”

“Help me with this!”

Clang! Clang!

“Urrachacha!”

“Hyung, please create 100 more trees like this!”

We created rooms for children to sleep in, where three or four children of the same gender lived like in a dormitory, and provided a slightly undersized space for adults and the elderly to sleep. Just like in the elderly dormitory, we made two living rooms where everyone could gather, a kitchen to prepare food, and a bathroom created using 100,000 faith points due to my lack of knowledge. Additionally, exploiting more than 5 million of my precious faith points, I built electrical facilities and various amenities, completing a five-day cleaning process to invite everyone to the elderly dormitory.

“Wow!”

“Our Sang-il always gives us so much.”

“We feel really sorry, we haven’t done anything for you…”

Feeling grateful and sorry spreading among the elderly, I saw it as an opportunity to increase my faith and humbly raised my faith level.

“I’m sorry for doubting and behaving badly. You’ve done so much for us… Thank you.”

“I do it because I want to. Haha.”

[Faith Level: 33]

Originally, the faith level, which couldn’t surpass 30, had just broken through to 33 due to the recent situation. At first, they would react aggressively and sensitively to us, so we couldn’t gain any faith points, and we were worried about what to do. However, now that we have brought food supplies and they know about the hardships we’ve endured for three months, among the elderly, they recorded the highest faith level.

“And I always say, just receiving the warm gratitude and affection from the elders is enough for me.”

“That will all become my faith points and will be converted into my abilities.”

After expressing his gratitude a couple more times, the old man with a nasty personality left, and I organized what needed to be done next.

“Now, I can accommodate many more people. Should I start looking for people to run the faith factory in earnest?”

Watching everyone happily finding their place in the newly established shelter, I was joined by Sihee Sun, forming a team of four, and we took a brief break.

“Oppa.”
