Intro

Today is Kim Soleum's birthday. September 13th.

As one of Kim Soleum's many fans, I decided to celebrate his birthday in a modest way.

...I feel kind of bad.

He's already been through so much in the novel.

But it can't be helped. I've already set things in motion...

I commissioned a custom cake to celebrate Kim Soleum's birthday.

The money... honestly, I don't think I'll have any expenses to cut for a while.

The time I was supposed to pick up the custom cake was 1 o'clock. Right now it's...

1 o'clock.

I quickly got dressed and rushed out the door.


And then, I became a follower of the Church of Nameless Brilliance.

The Named One

September 13th. It's my birthday.

Normally, I would have received congratulations from acquaintances, but now, I cannot receive them.

...Because I am the Named One.

Because I am the god of the Church of Nameless Brilliance, the Named One. That is my identity.

Still, I can't help but feel sad. Actually, it's not that I don't get celebrated at all. The followers celebrate every year. But...

...The method is the problem.

Every year they pray to me, bow to me... it's exactly the kind of thing cultists do.

Several years have passed since I ended up in the Church of Nameless Brilliance. At first, it was actually comfortable. I could do whatever I wanted.

But after some time, I realized I was in a state similar to confinement.

Even if I want to leave this space, even though I can leave, I am unable to.

Whenever I try to leave, people's gazes become stinging. I couldn't leave because of those stares.

And today, they will offer prayers and bow to me again. Clinging to vain hope toward me, who isn't even a real god.

If I could have anything as a birthday present, it would be to leave this place right now.

I'm saying I wish anyone, whoever it is, would take me out of here.


Wait.

Where am I...

It looks like some kind of church...

..More importantly, let's address the obvious.

Why am I standing like an idiot in a church (presumably) when I just left my house?

I checked the time. But the time wasn't visible.

'Ah, my phone battery died.'

Well, for now, I should just grab someone and ask where this is.

...Oh, I see.

There's a perfect candidate right over there.

Excuse me, do you happen to know where this is? I just woke up and found myself here...

The Named One

Are you talking about... this place?

..Who is this person? They woke up and were here? That makes no sense....

...

Ah. Could it be...

This is the Church of Nameless Brilliance.

...!

What?

Church of Nameless Brilliance...

Now that I look, the face of this man in front of me is quite familiar.

'Church of Nameless Brilliance, a familiar face...'

..Kim Soleum?

Example 1

So...

The Named One

So you're saying you woke up here when you opened your eyes.

Honestly, I don't understand what you're talking about.

You left your house to buy a cake and suddenly woke up here, you say...

Can such a thing actually happen?

Hmm...

As expected, he has a face that says he doesn't believe me.

But I feel like he'd be shocked if I said, 'Actually, you're a character in a novel'...

This is the best I can do for now.

Well, I know you don't believe me.

Actually, I expected as much. There's no way anyone would believe such a strange story.

So, where is the exit?

The Named One

Ah, I'll go with you.

..It's just to the exit, so it should be fine. It's not like I'm trying to leave this place for good....

....

Should I just make a run for it? I feel like it might be okay if I'm with this person right now.

Somehow, having someone who seems to be on my side (?) makes me feel much better.
