She had thought the visitor was a relatively friendly human Priest, but it turned out to be a bona fide sadist.
No wonder her mother always opposed her coming to a human city— so this is how terrifying humans are!
Wilona even considered biting her tongue to end it all, but she didn’t have that kind of courage. Was she really destined to become this person’s plaything…
Just then, Wilona felt a gentle, cool little hand stroking her head.
The hand was cold, yet brought a trace of warmth, and the slow, soothing movement was just like when her mother coaxed her to sleep. Gradually, Wilona stopped trembling.
“Eh?”
Cautiously opening her eyes, Wilona was met with a loving smile. Those pink eyes and that delicate little face seemed like the Beast God’s most perfect creation. Wilona was momentarily stunned.
Truth noticed how timid this little cat was— afraid even of a Priest? In that case, she had no choice but to use the power of loving head-pats.
Surely this would calm her down. No one else had ever received this special treatment from her!
But Wilona only became more frightened.
What exactly did this person want? Was she pretending to be nice to lower her guard, only to treat her like she did Filek?!
Just as that thought crossed her mind, Wilona felt a chill at her ankle.
Ah… this Priest was treating the scrapes on her foot.
“It’s all right now. There are no monsters or bad people around. You’re very safe,” Truth said, unable to resist pulling Wilona’s head to her chest and rubbing her cat ears.
Hmph, feel my broad embrace, little cat. You’re the first to receive such grace! Truth even thought about tying her together with Suna.
She still didn’t know what this little cat’s talent was like. If it wasn’t good, she’d let it go and catch another one in the Northern Map some other day. She remembered there was a rare Rui Beast there.
“By the way, little cat, what’s your name?” Truth asked.
Wilona’s pale purple hair hid her still-frightened face. No more bad people? Then what are you?
Pressed so close to Truth, she could smell an even stronger scent of blood on her. Filek’s screams still echoed in her mind…
“Wi… Wilona, nya.”
Wilona replied, trembling. Actually, her real name was Weimiao, but that was too unusual for humans, so she made up a fake name.
What was with this person constantly rubbing her ears, anyway? It was really ticklish! Wilona tried her best not to make a sound, afraid she’d annoy Truth and get killed on the spot.
But she couldn’t resist—Truth’s technique was just too indecent.
“Mmnya, don’t bite, nya!”
Truth suddenly gave Wilona’s cat ear a gentle nibble. The warm breath made Wilona shiver all over, even her tail standing straight up.
Wait, wait, wait! Wasn’t this supposed to be a horror scene? Why did the mood suddenly change?! Wilona’s brain couldn’t keep up—she had no idea what this Priest was trying to do.
“Shadien Wang, you even have a tail.”
Truth spoke with Wilona’s cat ear in her mouth, her other hand naturally stroking the flexible tail from tip to base. She remembered her old orange cat loved being petted like this.
She didn’t know if Wilona liked it, but judging by her intense reaction, her cat-petting skills hadn’t gotten rusty. Plus, since Wilona hadn’t told her to stop, she’d just keep going.
If a cat was uncomfortable, it would run away on its own.
“Uunya!”
Wilona wanted to escape, but didn’t dare… She never imagined what this Priest intended to do would be even worse than just killing her—she actually wanted to… mate with her!
For a catgirl, messing with the tail and nibbling the ears—what else could that mean but mating?
And after mating, could she even survive?
Wilona was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes:
“No, nya! I’m still young, I can’t get pregnant, nya! Females can’t do that, nya! There’s no such thing in the world, nya…”
Pregnant?
Truth’s expression instantly became puzzled. She slowly let go of Wilona and saw the latter’s drooping cat ears, both hands protectively covering her tail, head bowed pitifully, a few teardrops still on her snow-white thighs.
This… why did it feel like she’d just done something terrible to her?
“At least… at least wait until I grow up, nya…”
Afraid Truth would continue, Wilona whimpered an extra line. Truth was left momentarily speechless, unsure how to explain. She decided to unlock Wilona’s shackles first.
After finding the key on Filek’s weapon rack and unlocking the shackles, Truth stood outside the cage and gestured for Wilona to come out:
“Anyway, just come out for now.”
“Uu…” Forced by overwhelming pressure, Wilona cautiously stepped out, keeping a certain distance from Truth.
Oh, she’s pretty obedient. Truth watched as Wilona took deep breaths and surveyed her surroundings, preparing for a friendly self-introduction:
“By the way, my name is Tr—”
Before she could finish, Wilona, having just taken a deep breath, bolted straight into the Mist at lightning speed!
Run, legs, run! If I don’t give it my all now, I’ll never have another chance!
Wilona refused to be anyone’s plaything. Besides, the other party was an utterly deranged sadist—there was no way she’d accept being violated and killed!
“Eh?”
Truth was left dumbfounded. Why did she run?
Did she go too far? Thinking back to Wilona’s words— things like “pregnant” and “not allowed”— it seemed like she’d seriously misunderstood something?
Ahem, for the record, Truth had absolutely no intention of getting the little cat pregnant. She just wanted to pet her, that’s all. Besides, Wilona seemed to enjoy it, didn’t she?
Not wanting to scare her further, Truth didn’t give chase. She’d already memorized her scent; Wilona wouldn’t get far. She’d explain after leaving the Mist.
Too bad she hadn’t gotten enough petting in. Truth felt a little disappointed and continued toward the core of the Mist. Maybe she’d get Suna to wear some beast ear accessories…
The closer she got to the core, the thicker and purer the Mist became, until everything before Truth was pure white. Faint white dots floated in the air.
Ah, wasn’t this the scene she’d pictured in her mind when she worshipped herself?
[Divine Domain Control: 10%. Transmission System not unlocked. Plague System not unlocked. Sacrifice System not unlocked. Dungeon System not unlocked…]
Upon reaching the core, a bunch of panels automatically popped up before Truth. Most were still locked, giving her a headache.
Still, every beginning is hard. From now on, she had her own Divine Domain—she was a god now, right?
A confirmation window appeared before Truth:
[Mist has been dormant for 4,483,510 hours. Current energy: 72 points. End dormancy?]
Dormancy? Energy points? What was all this? After careful study, Truth realized that due to insufficient energy, the Mist had shrunk by about four-fifths over the past five hundred years.
The King Rank monsters had also degraded to less than Rank 1, and their numbers had dwindled.
To gain energy, she needed to attract Adventurers to explore. The Mist could actively absorb the energy released by Adventurers, meaning every swing of their weapons and every spell cast would help the Mist accumulate energy.
“So I need to set up all kinds of monsters and rewards in the Mist to attract Adventurers?”
Truth opened the panel that came with the Divine Domain and found a mess of settings: Elite Monster territory ranges, Stump Spider drop settings, Adventurer safe zone locations…
It was just like running a management game. Truth was shocked:
“Oh no, have I become a dog-tier game dev?!”
