Chapter 12 Catherine (I)

There are always some people who, from birth, are destined to have a life that will not be ordinary.

Of course, Catherine was not among them, because she was favored by the Lord of Order and Eternity before she was even born, and received the exclusive title of Aurora Night.

Therefore, those who are destined to be extraordinary, even if they spend their entire lives, can only look up to Catherine, who has not yet been born.

But Catherine wasn't happy, or rather... Since I was born, I have never been happy.

Because she was favored by the Lord of Order, Catherine was born in the Grand Temple of Order, which is a supreme glory for mortals.

Pity... Catherine is not uncommon, even somewhat disgusted. Because Catherine has no parents, or... Her parents are not qualified to be her 'parents'.

When Catherine was a child, she secretly ran to meet her parents once, but only saw two terrified mortals.

Yes, mortals.

Because they looked at Catherine as if they were looking at a god on high, not at their own flesh and blood, so... Catherine was parentless, at least nominally.

Catherine's childhood was also unhappy because she didn't have a partner to play with, and that was because of her status. Catherine's identity is so noble that when people meet her, they will only bow and worship.

In Catherine's memory, there was only one little boy who did not do this, and asked for his name, which made Catherine happy for a long time.

But Catherine never saw the boy again. But it didn't matter, because Catherine could get the little boy's current situation with just a random command.

It's just that the little boy is doing very badly because he broke his leg by his father. As for... The reason is that the little boy has blasphemed the glory of the Divine Servant.

But Catherine did not think so, for she had neither glory nor desecration.

It's a pity that Catherine is soft-spoken... No! It's not that Catherine is soft-spoken, but everyone is convinced that she has glory, that she is sacred and inviolable.

Therefore, Catherine can only try to disguise herself as sacred and inviolable according to people's wishes.

All Catherine did, all she wanted was to hope that no one would have her leg broken because of herself, nothing more.

But after the disguise, Catherine found that people began to alienate themselves, even the maids who took care of them and the guards who protected them.

It wasn't until she grew up that Catherine learned that this was not alienation, but awe.

Reverence is the emotion that arises in the face of authority, majesty, or sublime, a feeling of fear, reverence, and amazement, an attitude toward all that is sacred.

So, the moment people were in awe of Catherine, she drew a line with the crowd.

Since then, Catherine has rarely left the Temple of Order, just staying in the empty and sacred Temple, watching the other children play and play.

In just a few years, Catherine has grown from an ignorant little girl to a girl who hires Tingting, but she is still unhappy because she doesn't even have someone to talk to.

At the same time, people's attitude towards Catherine has also changed, and it has become a complex and difficult emotion, but people's awe will never change.

Because, at the age of fifteen, Catherine transcended the boundaries of legend and became an immortal being, although... Her life has just begun.

Catherine felt like she had nothing, no family, no friends, not even a mentor for life enlightenment.

Yes, there are no teachers.

As a divine servant of the Lord of Order, Catherine can truly be born to know.

So Catherine neither needs to learn nor train, but as she grows older, she acquires insane knowledge and terrifying power.

As a result, Catherine will always feel like she has nothing, but... It was just her feelings, because in the minds of all beings, Catherine owned the whole world.

Because whatever Catherine wants, the believers of the Order will offer it with both hands, even if they want to shed a river of blood for it, the believers have no regrets.

Unfortunately, even if the believer could offer the whole world, Catherine could only disdain it, because it was not what she wanted.

Actually, Catherine also has friends, and there are many friends, but they only have one name, and that is... Book.

From birth, Catherine was used to being around books, which would make her seem less lonely. At least... While reading, Catherine does not feel alone.

Many times, Catherine fantasizes about herself as the main character in the book, and tries to experience those things that are both ordinary and beautiful.

Among the many books, Catherine's favorite is the work of the scholar Osido.

Because Ocedo sketched out the vast universe with just words, and it included many anecdotes that even Catherine didn't know.

Although Ocedo is known as the most knowledgeable person in the Endless Universe, his writings are the opposite, ordinary people write books for eternity, but Ocedo does not need them.

Because Eternal Fortune is a continuation of life and spirit, something that only the dead can enjoy, and Oscedo is already immortal, so he does not need to linger through the ages at all.

In fact, every book written by Osido has a strong purpose, but unfortunately the general public does not feel it.

Only those who have been tricked by Ocedo will notice that he is different, because a large part of Ocedo's real name is related to lies.

Therefore, these people will regard Ocedo's writings as a book of fraud. Even if everything recorded in the book is true, the nature of the lie will not change, because only the most true thing will make the most true lie.

The Book of Fraud is some very interesting books because they will vary from person to person, if you desire to be strong, you will see in the book the shortcut to becoming stronger, if you desire love, you will see in the book the way to conquer women, if you desire wealth, you will see in the book the means to grab wealth.

But these are all lies, because there is no shortcut to becoming stronger, and love does not need to be conquered.

As for... Grab wealth, if you will only grab wealth by any means, then... You'll always be just a speculative gambler, either winning the world or losing to nothing.

At the same time, the Book of Fraud also has a feature, that is, only after stepping into the transcendental, you will be affected by the Book of Fraud, and the stronger the strength, the greater the impact.

Catherine was unfortunate, for she had been poisoned by the Book of Deception when she was still very young.

Catherine's 'poison' is called... Rebel.
