🕯️ The Story of a Boy

In the world of Serena, where gods and humans coexisted.
Long ago, humans used to perform a ritual to ascend to godhood through marriage with a god.
Although it is a custom that has now disappeared, in the past, it was also the only opportunity for social advancement.

"Lucen " was a pure and kind child who followed his beloved sister,
Isendra, who raised him without parents, as if she were his mother.

That sister, Isendra, had only one wish.
That someday, a god riding a white horse would appear and take her away.
And to escape the dire poverty and the life of taking care of her younger brother.

That wish came true.
To the beautiful Isendra, a marriage with a male god was actually proposed.
Moreover, that male god was a highly respected and revered being in the church.

Isendra was happy.
If she married the god, she would become a demigod,
and she believed that she could make Lucen independent with the rewards she received through marriage.

Lucen knew that his sister would leave,
but he rejoiced with her as he watched her happy.

Then one day—
Lucen accidentally witnessed the male god who had come to visit his sister for a while entering the barn with a woman nearby and having sexual relations.

Shocked, Lucen ,
with the desire to protect his sister, reported this fact to the priests.
But the situation went in the opposite direction of what Lucen had imagined.

At the time, the male god had a high reputation and wore a hypocritical mask.
Therefore, Lucen 's accusation was dismissed as a simple lie of a child,
and even his sister Isendra betrayed Lucen to protect her marriage.

> "Lucen lied. There's no way he would do that."

With those words,
Lucen was branded as 'a sinner who slandered the god' and
was sealed deep within the temple, whose name was even erased.

Even at the time, this judgment was controversial,
but the male god's high reputation was enough to bury all doubts.

So, on a rainy day,
Lucen was led to the deepest lower level of the temple,
with cold raindrops on his small shoulders.
That seal foretold a distant age that could not know when it would be lifted.
