Chapter 1, God will bless the believers
Unfortunately, he was reincarnated as a being that is rejected by most human factions—a werewolf
Adam has inquired, and the wilderness of this world is filled with monsters. Apart from the route of crossing the border wall, the dangers between the two countries are significantly greater.
When returning to the Bokujia house, neither Yalis nor Maggie had come back yet
Adam is a half-purebred werewolf, and his biological father is a werewolf. It is precisely because he is a half-purebred werewolf that Adam is able to hide in the border city of Roya in the Holy Tianyin Kingdom. As long as he does not transform, he is indistinguishable from a human.
In conclusion, the majority leads to only one outcome—death
The neighbors around also became familiar with Adam, each calling out his name with a smile.
It is also time. Adam rubbed Lina's head, who had come over upon hearing the noise, while contemplating that in order to avoid suspicion, he could not act too overtly. Therefore, Adam had always preferred to say less and do more.
Thus, Adam deliberately made his face swollen. Over the course of the past half month, as Adam's face gradually slimmed down and left a sufficient impression, Aris had no doubts whatsoever from beginning to end.
Unknowingly, he has been in this world for thirteen years now, Adam thought to himself
"That is wonderful, Aunt Maggie." Adam smiled very happily, and his joyful expression undoubtedly had the power to infect others, bringing them delight.
"God will bless the believers!" replied quickly, watching the departing monk. Only then did the middle-aged man and woman close the door and hand the holy bread distributed by the monk to their nephew Adam and daughter Lina, while saying: "I will go prepare dinner; we have cured meat today"
A congenital werewolf is born from a werewolf couple, just like a human. This type of werewolf is referred to as a purebred werewolf. On the other hand, an acquired werewolf can be transformed through means such as infection, curses, or magic.
He does not like to eat the tasteless holy wafers, which even cause him pain, but he must give others a sufficiently 'normal' impression in order to avoid exposing himself
"I have finished eating. Next time, can you save some for Lina?" Adam said with a smile as he gently patted her little head, tousling the girl's hair, and then helped her braid it again.
While hawking along the street, he began to scout the area, glancing with his peripheral vision towards a distant mansion, which was his target
When Adam first met the real Adam, he learned most of his information without any preamble, and by the time he saw the other person for the second time, that unsuspecting youth had already become a corpse in the hands of robbers
The Boku family is not considered wealthy, barely able to maintain a basic standard of living, especially after Adam's arrival
However, there is now an opportunity
An outsider, no matter how they prove themselves, will never be able to earn their trust
The so-called extraterrestrial beings and humans do not differ significantly; they are merely unusual in certain aspects, which is why they are referred to as extraterrestrial. Werewolves are one such type of extraterrestrial being
Thus, it is capable of dispelling evil
Generally speaking, for a commoner to engage in the smuggling business of the nobility, even after dedicating several years or even more than a decade of effort, it is nearly impossible. Their servants are typically passed down through generations, inheriting their fathers' professions, serving the nobility for several generations, which is the only way to gain the trust of the nobility
He was originally an ordinary person from another world. On his way home from work, he drove into a black hole that appeared out of nowhere, and thus he was reborn into this world, a realm filled with divine arts, magic, and otherworldly creatures
Early the next morning, Adam set out to sell the homemade pickled pancakes from the Boku family and greeted the neighbors around him
Being a painter in this world is still a pretty good path, especially when it comes to religious-related painting, and Adam happens to be quite familiar with this area
The knowledge from another world is too abrupt to present, and the worlds are entirely different; some things are completely dissimilar, and that knowledge may not necessarily be useful
Even if it is useful, if it exceeds the norms of this era too much, it may instead be regarded as being possessed by the devil, leading one directly to the stake. Or perhaps, due to vested interests, one might be labeled as a despicable thief who steals the secrets of the nobility. Adam is all too aware of the virtues of the church and some members of the public in this era
As dusk approached, the young monk offered verbal blessings to the middle-aged man and woman at the door before turning to leave
The Holy Tianyin Kingdom and the Loken Kingdom are currently in a state of hostility, and the borders are not open. It is difficult for ordinary people to approach, and to cross the Roya border wall defense, one must rely on the power of the nobility. Most of the nobles in the border towns are involved in some smuggling businesses.
Now, as he gradually became more familiar with the situation, Adam felt that he was able to take appropriate actions to help the Boku family become slightly more prosperous without exposing himself, at the very least ensuring that he would not become a burden to them
Adam's original name was neither Adam Borku nor the former name Nessa Riggs, but rather a name that was incongruous with this world
The Holy Sound Kingdom is a realm of the Church, home to a large number of ecclesiastical monks. For various reasons, regardless of which church it is, they are the greatest enemies of the aberrant species, possessing specialized teams dedicated to hunting these beings. Once an aberrant is captured by the Church, it is either burned alive, hanged, or imprisoned until death
Thus, Adam's objective is to cross the walls of Luoya City and head towards the opposite Lokken Kingdom, where it is said that the living conditions for different species are considerably better.
Watching Lina joyfully rush into her mother's arms and ask if her braids looked good, Adam turned his head and walked to the second floor, looking out of the window at the dusk scenery of the border town.
"Those bandits are backed by this Baron Mansra." Adam recalled the information he had obtained from those bandits, mentally noted the terrain of this individual, and after calling out for a while, he left.
The holy bread is a type of white bread baked by the monks of the Holy Sound Church using holy water and wheat flour. It is not particularly special in itself, but it is imbued with a faint sanctity due to the blessing bestowed upon the holy water by the monks.
This involves the distinction between the innate and acquired characteristics of werewolves
Fortunately, Adam is among the few who can control his transformation, and even after transforming, he is able to suppress his murderous instincts and maintain a certain level of rationality
We must leave quickly
He is currently residing at the home of Boku, ostensibly as the nephew of the male head of the household, Alis Boku, but in reality, there is no blood relation between them
He still needs to make considerable preparations; otherwise, both the nobility and the church in the city have the capability to deal with him, a werewolf who has not yet reached adulthood
Half a month ago, this nephew of the Bokujia family came to seek refuge with his uncle after the death of his parents. On the way, his face was swollen from being stung by a venomous wasp. After some time, the swelling has subsided, and he has turned out to be quite a handsome young man.
Having witnessed all of this, Adam understood that he needed an identity. Thus, he helped the true Adam take revenge, and after eliminating the witnesses, he arrived in the city of Luoya under the name of Adam
As Adam sold pickled pancakes, he gathered information, and it seemed that his disguise was adequate. He did not resemble the real Adam. Although Alis had not seen his nephew for many years, he still had some impressions. If he were to see a completely unfamiliar person at first glance, he would likely become suspicious
The real Adam has died at the hands of robbers; he was a boy who harbored little suspicion, having come to Luoya to seek refuge with his uncle after the death of his parents due to illness
"Brother Adam," a voice called, causing Adam to turn around. He saw a girl of about seven or eight years old running towards him, who then hugged his legs tightly and looked up at him with sparkling eyes. "Have you finished your holy cake?"
As Adam's gaze swept across this not particularly affluent home, he noticed a book with a painting on its cover
"I must find a way to leave the Holy Sound Kingdom." Adam, enduring the pain, finished eating all the remaining holy wafers in his hand, and could not help but begin to ponder.
Watching his busy uncle and aunt, Adam still stuffed the holy wafer into his mouth, feeling the burning pain as if it were on fire
The greatest difference between werewolves and humans is that most werewolves lose control on the night of the full moon, growing sharp fangs and resembling a giant wolf standing on two legs, and they often lose their reason, becoming bloodthirsty and indiscriminately hunting the lives around them
Adam is precisely within this removed 'evil'
Lina Boku, the daughter of Alis and the nominal sister of Adam, has come to trust me immensely after just half a month of interaction
God will bless the believers
Perhaps I can try to become a painter
