"That's right. That's what the book I gave you said."

"Mystic syndrome is the collective name for the symptoms present in ordinary people affected by Forces."

"For example, there are people who grow trees that grow very quickly. There are also people who, accidentally, always have small fires around them. These are mostly insignificant signs, but when they die, the signs of mutation will become more obvious and bizarre. One day, they may inadvertently run out of life force and turn into a mass of tree roots, or their corpses may suddenly burn up into a pile of ashes."

"In the past, we considered them curses, or diseases in folklore, handed down with different names. The Curse of the Devil's Eye, the Call of Satan, the Poison Tree"

"But there are no demons here." Brahms said.

"Yes, but that's how they, the ignorant, think and how the church spreads."

"Why?" Brahms asked.

"Because people are always afraid, they are afraid of the unknown. The more they fear, the more they believe in the god they worship."

"Why don't we call it a blessing?"

"Contacting Forces is the first step to extraordinary power." Brahms asked his questions.

"What do you think?" Althur waited slowly.

Recall what Althur said now. The boy thought and began his explanations. "To perpetuate fear." The boy shyly looked at Althur, saw his encouraging expression, and continued to speak.

"Because the outcomes of the syndromes are horrible."

"So, they don't want to call it a blessing."

"Because there is no god, it causes human suffering."

Althur nodded. "Yes, fear is an important reason to dominate people."

"But that is also one of the reasons. By emphasizing each fear, the appearance of such people will quickly be announced to churches and synagogues. This is more convenient for them when looking for people affected by the Forces they control."

"Emphasizing fear and turning those people into priests to serve the church is another convenience. By guiding them to gain strength through pilgrimage, it naturally causes the saved people to have religiosity toward the organization and to the god they believe in."

"But didn't those people once consider themselves monsters?" Brahms asked.

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

Althur smiled even more. "It's hard to see that the thing that almost killed me came from the grace of a god. But this is in the secret of the churches."

"Those people were desperate people at first. If there is a glimmer of hope, often people become obscured. In addition, these people are often brought into a separate force. Few of them are on the council of cardinals or the presbyterate. So, it really doesn't affect the overall situation much."

"Knights of the Templar"

"They are usually part of the expeditionary forces or the army under the leadership of the church. Those who are usually on the front lines and have little real power in the church."

"So sad!" Brahms exclaimed.

"But at least they have a chance to live. They also know the truth. At least the truth about his curse. There are people who don't have a chance to know about it. But these have also become history."

"There are people who don't even have that opportunity. For example, those who are blessed by the Land of War often die in conflicts."

"But that's nothing out of the ordinary."

"Yes, there are actually very few names that refer to the Mystic Syndrome of such people."

"What a terrible fate."

"Those subject to the influence of the wind will attract conflicts to themselves or inadvertently succumb to conflicts."

"Also, the Land of War don't have a god. So, it's called force, a supernatural force. The name of that war land is Verhang. A war land is just an abstraction of supernatural beings approaching this force."

"You know this, right?"

Brahms nodded to show that he had read it. The Land of War has no god, and many of its secrets are held by the Isandros Academy, where Althur attended, and the Helioric Royal Family, as well as the OSPIS organization. As to the connection of these forces, Brahms did not know. He also didn't care because maybe it was complicated and not interesting. He just wanted to hear about the major topics related to supernatural powers. As he was lost in thought, he heard Althur continue to speak.

"Similarly, for the Holy Places, they have a god who reigns. Hence the prefix "holy" as respect for the ruler of that realm. The power of the gods is beyond our imagination. In addition, there is a similarity between the name of the holy land and the abode of the gods described in their teachings. Hence, they call it a "place". But the Force was never something that could be defined by our words and our thoughts."

"However, there is a very important rule for naming Forces." Althur emphasized.

For example, Dashte is the Holy place where the god Lut rules. That is also the common way of seeing heaven in the community of believers worshiping the sun god. But the Fields of Harvest, which alludes to heaven in the Haya church, are not Holy Places. It's that legendary tree. Everlasting Tree Ameratat However, those with this power outside of the church would call it Haya's Tree, not the Goddess Haya. Therefore, one can understand that Haya is the name of the Holy Places. But that ruling god handed down the name Haya.

This naming distinction was important to those who pursued extraordinary power. First, the name was not given arbitrarily but was recognized by everyone during the first awakening, which happened similarly to Althur. When he was transported to the academy's secret dark room, an artifact was created to aid individuals affected by a rare force. As he underwent a change in mind, his insight made him realize that there is a supernatural force far away in infinite space-time but also very close, something called Walaric. No matter how it is interpreted in different languages, the perceiver will still know it as Walaric.

Because knowledge comes from the wisdom of approaching the basic laws of the world. Such confusion will cause many disasters. For example, when easily influenced by other strong people, the mind is not clear enough to determine the nature of self, leading to loss of self.
