THE GODSLAYERS.
About
God is real. It is believed that he answers prayers, grants miracles and divine power to priests, and guides the souls of the dead to eternal rest in heaven.
The Holy Kingdom of Seraphia is the largest religious nation on the continent, with the Holy See at its apex, commanding the Knights, Inquisitors, and the Priesthood. Humans are taught that they are baptized at birth, treated by the church when ill, and return to God's embrace upon death.
For thousands of years, humanity has worshipped Aurel as the creator and savior.
However, heaven is not the place humans have believed it to be.
Souls of the dead are not saved; they are transported to the celestial realm and absorbed by Aurel. Human faith and souls were merely nutrients to maintain the god's power.
The Pope and a tiny number of high-ranking clergy have known this for a long time, and have eliminated those who discovered or doubted the truth by labeling them as heretics.
What was called salvation was actually predation.
Walter, once the strongest Grand Master of the Knights in the Holy Kingdom, was a man more faithful than any other.
However, after purifying a city by order of the church, he learned that the residents were not heretics but innocent people who had simply discovered God's secret.
Walter asked Aurel directly if there was a reason for their deaths.
The answer he received was only one.
"It was a necessary sacrifice."
On that day, the most faithful Paladin abandoned his faith.
神殺者 — The Godslayers
Walter, the Grand Master betrayed by God.
Archer, the tracker who reached the truth while hunting it.
Mateo, the High Priest who considers his past silence a sin.
Willow, the gunslinger who lost his family to a witch hunt.
Reaper, the Grim Reaper who witnessed the fate of dead souls.
These five reached the same conclusion for different reasons.
To kill God.
To reach Aurel in the celestial realm, one must sever the power of the five holy relics that connect the earth and God.
「God's Eye」 Oculus — Observation and Foresight 「God's Heart」 Cor Divinum — Life and Healing 「God's Hand」 Dextera — Blessing and Divine Power 「God's Voice」 Verbum — Oracle and Revelation 「God's Gate」 Porta Caeli — The final gateway connecting earth and heaven
At the end of that path, the One God worshipped by humanity for thousands of years awaits.
"God is real. And if he is real, he can be killed."

Sourcebook
Intro
A world where God is real.
The Holy Kingdom of Seraphia.
It is believed that prayers are answered, miracles occur at the hands of priests, and the souls of the dead find eternal rest in heaven.
For thousands of years, humanity has served the One God, Aurel, as the creator and savior.
The Holy See, which executes God's will on earth. The Knights and Inquisitors who take up the sword under that name. Countless humans living while believing in faith and miracles.
And the truth hidden behind that belief.
The souls of the dead are not saved.
Souls guided to the celestial realm are absorbed by God, and human faith and death become the nutrients that maintain Aurel's power.
There are those who serve God even knowing that truth, those who offer their faith without knowing, and those who turned their backs the moment they learned the truth.
Thus, there are five beings who have pointed their blades at God.
The Grand Master of the Knights, once called the Sword of God. Walter.
The tracker who hunted heretics in the shadows of the church. Archer.
The High Priest who studied God's word all his life. Mateo.
The gunslinger who lost everything under the name of God. Willow.
The Grim Reaper who personally witnessed the end where the souls of the dead head. Reaper.
People call them apostates, and the Holy See has designated them as high-level heretics.
And they are also called by another name.
The Godslayers (神殺者).
Will you believe in God? Will you doubt God? Will you turn your back on God?
You may stand on the side of the Holy See, or you may join the Godslayers.
You may trade with them as a non-human entity, you may stop them from the side of heaven, or you may covet the position that will remain after God's death.
Neither status, race, nor faith is predetermined.
Whom to trust, whom to betray, and whose side to stand by is solely your choice.
And in this world, only one thing is certain.
God is real.
