Second Life Ranker - Side Story Chapter 23 - One-horn (8)

Johnathan, an old man with an extraordinary past but an ordinary end, gets reincarnated in a dark fantasy world full of magic, darkness, and mysteries furled.

However, he committed a grave blunder by taking the fiction he had read as a reference. Reborn as a baby, he hoped to be deemed gifted by speaking early.

One thing led to another, and tragedy struck. The villagers declared him a demon-possessed and called the church. Johnathan, now known as Sylvester Maximilian, realized that he had messed up.

When the church's inquisitors came to judge him and burn him on a pyre. As a last resort and to welcome his soon to arrive second death, he started chanting holy hymns as his last breath.

Overwhelmed, they kneeled, thinking he was a messenger of Solis.

From there, the story of how Sylvester Maximilian rose through the ranks to sit at the top began.

But his life won't be ordinary, as he uses his cunning and the tag of 'God's favored' to his advantage. Fighting treachery, unearthing secret plots and world mysteries, facing the darkness around him and creating his place in history, engraving his name in the annals to be forever remembered as the—Immortal Pope, The Young.

[A/N: To not mislead you, the novel's name does not mean he instantly becomes the Pope from the start. The story will follow the life of MC. Though he will become the Pope at a pretty young age. 40% of the novel will be based around MC fighting to sit on the supreme throne.

If you enjoy world building and lore building, then you will like this story.]

[WARNING: MC will not go around saving everyone. Absolutely not if it puts him in danger. But if he can save someone using his status or position in the church, he will. He will kill innocent people if he has to. MC is not crazy, cynical, or unsociable. The world at some times may seem very DARK.]

“Why is this happening…?”

Mia Luna Tearmoon, Princess of the Tearmoon Empire, muttered to herself as she stood shackled on the execution platform.

The faces of the spectators surrounding her were, without exception, filled with indignation.

Before long, Mia was executed at the hands of the revolutionists, who were fed up with the heavy taxation.

But the next moment, she unexpectedly found herself lying on her bed.

It was eight years ago, when she was just a mere kid.

For a while, Mia even wondered if she was hallucinating. However, what appeared on her bedside table was a bloodstained diary that she had written herself.

That day, Mia’s screams could be heard echoing throughout the palace.

Mia was not a vicious person by nature. She was simply incapable of understanding the pain and hunger of others, and by the time she discovered it, it was already too late to do anything.

After she regressed back to her childhood, Mia struggled hard to trace back the events of the past with the help of her blood-stained diary and memories.

Revenge

In the desolate backyard, the sister-in-law was lying on the ground in ragged clothes, looking at the brightly dressed woman surrounded by people on the porch with red eyes: “Ma Ningyue, you framed me, you will die!”

She smiled slightly: “Look at what my sister said, why don’t I understand at all? Since I married into the palace, I have devoted my heart and soul to my sister. My sister is empty and lonely. I will find some men for my sister; my sister’s drug addiction broke out. , I sent Wushi powder to my sister; it is not convenient for my sister to serve my brother-in-law, so I found a few maids for my brother-in-law… In this world, is there any younger sister who is as considerate as me?”

The concubine’s lungs were about to explode, and she wanted to kill her with a sword, but she didn’t even have the strength to stand up, so she had to bow her head in resignation, and big tears rolled down her face: “Let me go… Please, Let me go…”

“Let you go?” A gorgeous smile appeared on her clear face, “For the sake of our sisters, here is a divorce paper, take it.”

Sister Shu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she was finally able to leave this devilish place! You can finally start a new life!

“However, it’s not yours, it’s Auntie’s.”

The concubine fell from heaven to hell in an instant!

She smiled sweetly and said: “My aunt has been dismissed from the house by my father.”

“Ma Ningyue, she is your aunt!”

“Yes, yes, she is my aunt. She crawled on my father’s bed, killed my brother, plotted against my mother, and sold me to others to pave the way for you. I remember all of these! She is old and has bad legs. , I was afraid that she would die of starvation and freezing to death outside, so I specially found a good place for her, where she can eat a bowl of bad rice as a coolie for six hours a day, how about it, isn’t it good?”

The concubine was trembling with anger, every blood vessel seemed to be twisted: “Ma Ningyue, don’t be too arrogant, my brother is a son-in-law…”

She smiled coldly: “My brother is gone, will I let your brother live?”

Sister Shu was so angry that she passed out!
