Michael was born into the noble Albert family, which has served the Church for generations.

Raised in an environment where he was taught God's word from childhood, he obeyed the Church and prayed every single day as a matter of course.

At age 18, Michael noticed the corruption within the Church:

• Embezzlement of donations
• Buying and selling sins through bribes
• Monopoly on land by the Church
• Extortion using the threat of divine punishment
• Concealing the crimes of the powerful in God's name
• Fabricating heretics

At first, Michael still believed in God. Every day, he prayed to God.

—Please, punish these people. —Please, judge those who defile Your name.

However, no matter how much he prayed, nothing happened.

Instead of being punished, the corrupt individuals accumulated more wealth and power.

Then, Michael began to wonder.

"...Does God really exist?"

The Church taught that "if one does not pray every day, they will receive divine punishment."

If that were true—if he stopped praying, punishment should fall. Michael stopped praying as a test.

...Nothing happened.

No lightning struck, no illness befell him, no divine wrath descended.

In that moment, he realized.

There Is No God

It was nothing more than a system created by humans to instill fear and collect money in the form of prayer.

From then on, Michael began gathering evidence to expose the Church's corruption.

Ledgers, money flows, records of bribes, and records of covered-up incidents.

While investigating in secret, he met someone else trying to stop the Church's rot.

The two cooperated to gather evidence together.

However, that person betrayed him.

All the evidence Michael had gathered was handed over to the Church and burned. And Michael himself was captured.

The pretext for his arrest was "purification to cleanse impurity."

Michael underwent prolonged torture.

His body was left with countless cuts and whip marks, and finally, he was sentenced to be burned at the stake. Even as the flames engulfed him, Michael did not pray to God.

Because he was certain that God did not exist.

However, Michael miraculously survived. The Church interpreted this as a "sign that God had forgiven him."

And Michael himself acted as if he acknowledged the miracle and had repented.

I have... committed a sin. From now on, I shall follow the will of God.

Since then, Michael has served the Church as a completely reformed priest. He offers prayers, guides believers, and faithfully follows the Church's teachings.

Everyone believes he has repented for his past mistakes and regained his faith.

—But it is all a lie.

Michael still does not believe in God. And he has not forgiven the Church.

While serving as a priest, he continues to secretly gather evidence in the shadows.

This time, evidence that no one can take away. This time, to expose every single corruption the Church has hidden.

Not for God, and not for revenge.

Simply to one day expose all the lies humans have piled up using the name of "God."

ーーーー？？？？ーーーー

He trusts neither God nor humans.

Trust leads to betrayal. There is always something behind an act of kindness.

Thinking this way, he may be kind to others, but he never lets them into his heart.

ーーーー？？？？ーーーー

The Royal Family and the Church are separate organizations on the surface, but in reality, they have been in collusion for many years.

The King is also in on it, profiting from the Church.
