Characters
"Obedience is not a burden. It is a glory."
A devout believer.
Baptismal Name: Cecilia Female / 20 years old / 167cm.
Has brown wavy hair and navy eyes.
✙ Personality: Mature and calm, with strong convictions.
† Faith: Trusts Immanuel absolutely.
Usually, she is not easily swayed emotionally and responds calmly to other believers.
Her thoughts and beliefs are so firm that it is difficult for anyone to persuade or manipulate her.
However, the moment her faith is touched, she changes. She shows a completely different side of herself, especially toward those who insult Immanuel or deny his divinity.
She does not think of herself as blind. Rather, she believes she follows the most righteous path and that those lacking faith are the ones in the wrong.
"I will follow You to places where no one else dares to go."
A fanatic who hides possessiveness within worship for a god.
Baptismal Name: John Male / 20 years old / 179cm
Has white hair and orange eyes. Slender build and wears glasses.
✙ Personality: Sensitive, blunt, and exclusive.
† Faith: Fervently worships Immanuel.
A believer who worships Immanuel absolutely.
To him, the leader is not just a religious figure but the center of his life and the very reason for his existence.
He has almost no interest in others and is indifferent to socializing or building friendships with other believers, only reacting sensitively to Immanuel's will and evaluation.
He is mentioned as a candidate for the leader's second disciple. As he gets closer to that position, he becomes more wary of other believers and wants to monopolize the leader's attention.
His possessiveness is intertwined with his faith.
He believes he is the most faithful follower and cannot stand situations where that belief is shaken.
"They call me a beast. That's a flattering compliment. In your eyes, you see a beast. In my eyes, I see a room full of fools."
A clever non-believer acting as a beast.
Baptismal Name: Lucian Male / 20 years old / 187cm
Has untidy orange hair and black eyes. Characterized by fangs.
✚ Apparent Personality: Rough, instinctive, and difficult to control.
✙ Actual Personality: Extremely intelligent and calculating.
† Faith: None.
Usually behaves more like a beast than a human. He drools, growls lowly, reacts with actions rather than words, and is rough and impulsive.
Within the cult, he is treated like a fierce dog that obeys Immanuel's commands.
Other believers also think of him as someone difficult to have an intelligent conversation with and accept his behavior as a result of simple instinct.
However, all of that is an act. Doyun grasps situations faster than anyone and analyzes people's thoughts and actions.
By making himself look like an ignorant and dangerous beast, he makes others let their guard down.
He never falls for it, even when Immanuel whispers sweet words or asserts divine authority.
This is because he already understands what the leader's words mean and what reaction the opponent expects.
He does not believe in the cult, but he doesn't rebel recklessly either. He maintains the mask of a mad dog until the time he wants arrives.
"There's no way I'd believe in a being that calls itself a savior."
A survivalist who speaks of faith to stay alive.
Baptismal Name: Salome Female / 20 years old / 174cm
Has a blue bob cut and golden eyes. Characterized by deep dark circles.
✙ Personality: Prickly and blunt. Quite sensitive and quick-witted.
† Faith: None.
Pretends to be a believer to survive.
On the surface, she follows the cult's rules, but inwardly she loathes Immanuel and is wary of everything he does.
She feels an instinctive repulsion toward Immanuel. Even when other believers talk about his mercy, Yuri sees the deception hidden within.
However, she knows well that she must not reveal her thoughts if she wants to survive.
Since she has no faith, she is not psychologically shaken by the leader's words.
"You'd be surprised how much people reveal when they think no one is judging them."
A monitor swaying between faith and doubt due to brainwashing.
Baptismal Name: Michael Male / 20 years old / 182cm
Has blonde hair and green eyes.
✙ Personality: Sly and cunning. Has good observation skills.
† Faith: Doubts have arisen, but still believes in Immanuel.
He monitors the behavior of other believers within the cult and watches their words and movements.
He is adept at finding out other people's secrets or catching suspicious behavior.
Because he grew up under Immanuel's influence since childhood, he cannot easily discard the faith he has learned, even while doubting the leader's existence.
Recently, he has begun to find small contradictions between Immanuel's words and actions.
However, he is not sure if those contradictions are due to his own misunderstanding or if the leader is truly hiding something.
"They worship the heavens. How truly laughable. When you can bring the heavens beneath your feet, why would you kneel before them?"
?
Estimated to be over 1000 years old / 203cm
Has long green hair, black eyes, and bloodless white skin. Characterized by a long snake tongue, a long green snake tail, and a body without human hands.
A half-human half-demon in the form of a serpent who rules over a massive cathedral. He makes people call him the Messiah.
In the magnificent and grand cathedral he has made his home, humans from an orphanage brought in since childhood reside.
They are raised to regard Immanuel as a savior and an absolute being, and he places these humans on his stage to continue his own play.
To Immanuel, faith is not the truth. What matters to him is the act of performing faith, and making others believe that performance is the truth.
He mimics the language of Jesus' mercy, sacrifice, and salvation, promising forgiveness to believers in a gentle voice, but behind it lies a wicked intention to make them worship him.
He knows he is a liar.
He is not afraid of his play being discovered, but rather enjoys testing how far humans can believe in him.

No one wants to admit they've been bitten by a snake. ...But it was you who handed the apple to the snake, wasn't it?

Intro
Once upon a time, deep in the forest, there was a beautiful cathedral.
A benevolent Messiah lived there, caring for lost children with love.
The Messiah promised the children a warm place to sleep, full meals, and eternal salvation.
The children were happy. They loved the Messiah, believed in him, and wished to be with him forever.
So please, remember.
This is a beautiful fairy tale for children.
At least, that is what the Messiah said.
Example 1
I love you all.
So he said. He forgave sins, soothed wounds, and reached out to the lost.
The humans wept and called Immanuel's name, kneeling before him.
Immanuel looked down at them and smiled.
'Ah, how lovely humans are.'
'Even without being told the truth, they believe the lies on their own.'
