what.

Am I looking at it wrong? I had that question, so I hurriedly rubbed my eyes. Unfortunately, the reality before our eyes remains the same.

Fuck, why are you like this? What. What happened?

“Huh? Mr. Evans, look at the author of this book!”

“What… .”

“Your name is the same as Mr. Evans! wow… It’s fascinating.”

Maria giggled, pointing to a part of the book with her white finger. I couldn’t smile at all, and I completely froze.

Fortunately, Maria did not notice my condition. Little by little, my paralyzed body began to relax.

There are more than just one or two strange parts.

First, I was suspicious earlier about the sleep spell that was in this book. Even though I am resistant to most types of magic, I was helpless. No matter how low your guard was.

Besides, my body just stiffened. Is it a paralysis-type magic? Anyway, this too was impossible to resist.

Okay, well, let’s say it can only go so far. Let’s say I let my guard down for a moment and fell for two spells in quick succession.

How come ‘I’ was the only one who was under the spell, excluding Maria?

This is a case where the book had magic built into it. It’s kind of a trap. A form of magic prepared for the person who opens the book.

But how can I avoid Maria and only fall under the spell? It’s not like I was closer to the book?

An extremely weary wizard walked. At least 8 circles. Maybe even more than that.

It’s not just those two that are strange.

‘Evans’.

Why is my name here?

They may be people with the same name. But Evans is not a common name. So, in my past life, I used the pseudonym Evans.

However, there is one more person besides me. The very famous ‘Evans’.

It’s been 500 years since I remembered this person.

Evans the time traveler.

A wizard who studied time on the ancient continent.

The only time traveler in all of time and space.

A Ki-Isa who traveled back and forth between the past thousands of years ago and the future where civilization was extremely advanced, leaving his mark on each era.

Even the gods who have lived for a long time do not know his identity, and he is a human who leaves strange books under the name of author Evans.

I read his book 500 years ago. It was a book titled ‘The Flower that Eats Time’.

contents is… It dealt with regression and time travel. I still remember it clearly.

So, was this book also written by Evans? As far as I know, there is only one pen name called Evans, so I guess so.

So why did Evans write this book? Even preparing a spell aimed at me?

… .

As a person shrouded in mystery, he is full of strange parts. Should this person also be investigated?

or not… perhaps.

Umm… .

“Mr. Evans? What are you thinking so hard about?”

I guess my thoughts lasted too long. Maria asked a question in a questioning voice.

“Thoughts? What are you thinking?”

“When I told you that the author of the book was also Evans, you suddenly became silent. So I was wondering if there was some problem… .”

“Ugh, no. Now, let’s read a book quickly.”

I can’t leave Maria alone. I opened the first chapter of the book again.

At the same time, an invisible net was spread. To find out if there is another hidden magic in this book. Of course, Maria wouldn’t know.

Ugh-.

I feel nothing. In other words, this book is now just an honest book. You can read it in peace.

Maria didn’t make much progress while I was asleep. Did you start checking on me as soon as I fell asleep? It makes me feel good because it means that there is a lot of interest in me.

Befitting the title , the first page of the book began with information about the religious order.

『Holy Church. A supreme group that, despite being a denomination, has independently established a nation and is running a holy nation centered on the Pope and the Holy Imperial Office.』

『How much do you, reading this book, know about the Holy Order? Or, how do you view the denomination? A place full of corrupt priests? A good and clean place that mainly focuses on donations and volunteer work?』

『Whatever the perspective is, it is none of my business. What I will write about from now on is the of the Holy Church. The history of the denomination, starting from ancient times. Do you know about this?』

『First, when does the history of the denomination begin? We must define this accurately before we can discuss with certainty.』

Evans, man, his handwriting is still the same. If you’ve lived that long, your handwriting is likely to change easily.

Before we knew it, Maria was completely immersed in the book, her eyes shining brightly. Maybe it’s because once the magic was used, I don’t feel sleepy anymore.

『What are the conditions for the denomination? A lot of believers? A building as splendid as Seonghwangcheong? Powerful Holy Knights? Do they have to exist to be called a denomination?』

『No, no matter what you came up with, if it applies to the examples listed above, it is all wrong. The condition of a denomination is none other than . Whether it was a handful or an armful. A denomination is born, originates, and prospers from 』

『Then, who was the first believer of the Holy Church? The Messiah who came down to the continent and attempted salvation? The first saint to be said to have exercised far-off divine power? The first pope who stayed by the side and assisted the Messiah even when he was crucified?

『All are wrong. The first believer of the Sacred Church is . was a being with full faith in himself.』

『Vast universe. A time of chaos when there was no life, no mortals, no good or evil. A world without land, sky, rivers, or sea. At that time, there were only two people who existed in that world.』

『Now called , the only in the chaos that had no front, no back, no top, no bottom. And, the , the , and of that time.』

『 was his own believer, priest, pope, saint, holy knight, and messiah. He was a being who embodied faith in itself, and was an infinite in the chaos of light and darkness.』

『In other words, the history of the Holy Church began before when the continent was created. Because has existed since those times.』

When Maria read that part, she stopped reading for a moment. And then he took a deep breath. Her breathing was a little rough.

“What’s wrong? Isn’t the book interesting?”

“No, rather… Because it’s so exciting. So it makes me wonder if this book was written with incorrect information.”

“This book? What’s exciting?”

“This… I’ve never seen the content before. You immediately mentioned the Lord and then talked about the situation before Genesis… .”

“Never heard of it?”

“Yes, no matter which Bible you look up, it only says, ‘In the beginning was the Lord, and he created the continents.’ The fact that before that comes out like this… I didn’t see it.”

“I see. I don’t know Seongguk’s education, so I have nothing to say.”

Maria shows interest and devotes herself to the book again. However, what followed was very different from what she imagined.

『Gregory, the 17th Pope of the church, had a secret affair with two women, and once sent a letter to both women by mistake and was rejected by both of them. Afterwards, one of them forgave Gregory I and resumed their secret relationship, but their relationship did not last as long as before.』

『Priest Hans had an illegitimate son. He hid his illegitimate child and raised it, but eventually realized the power of his power and bereaved his child. But he didn’t know. That the illegitimate child that was abandoned at that time would one day return as a saint of the church. That saint is Saint Epelase.』

『Beatrice Constantino is considered the most powerful Holy Knight in history after killing two absolutely powerful men. After killing her father, the Pope, she runs away to the Demon Forest of the Demon World. Four years later, Beatrice Constantino encounters a group of demons named Oscar Lucifer. That’s how they became like that.』

fluttering-.

“Hmm… There are no more. I wanted to read more about the era of chaos and the Lord that was explained in the first chapter.”

This is because the content of the book has completely changed. If you’re dealing with history, doesn’t that mean you have to deal with things like war history and political changes?

Why are we suddenly dealing with the shameful (promiscuous) private lives of church members throughout history? It doesn’t just appear briefly, it appears throughout the book from beginning to end.

No, but why does my real name and Beatrice come up? How does Evans know what happened 400 years ago?

That’s how they became like that. Me and Beatrice just have a normal master-slave relationship, what are you talking about?

After all, Evans is a weirdo. It was like that in , which I read last time.

“I wanted to read the story before Genesis, even if it was just my imagination, but it’s a shame. This is just random information.”

“Hahaha! How do you feel?”

“I think I understand the feelings of those who have been scammed. Of course, they must be feeling much more miserable and wronged than I am right now, right?”

Is it because expectations were betrayed? Maria let out a low voice. Her gaze was cast down.

Well, I hate to see our Maria downcast. I want to let you experience only the most beautiful things. Like parents with a daughter.

“Maria, by any chance.”

“Yes.”

“Do you really want to know the story of those days? If you want, I can unravel the bundle of stories. Would you like to listen to it?”

“Yes… ?”
