When we arrived, the Great Hall of Rodenheim City was so magnificent and beautiful that even I, who wasn’t particularly interested in architecture, was taken aback. A total of three round dome-shaped roofs were lined side by side, and the spire in the center, the largest roof, was really high as if it could reach God in the heavens.
‘It looks like they are receiving a lot of donations…’
I shrugged at the shiny building, and soon reached the red brick arch. A soldier who was guarding the door asked me.
“What brings you to the Great Hall?”
“I’m here to, ah, become a saint.”
It was a bit embarrassing to say it. Originally, saints don’t proclaim themselves to be such. Did I just come to the temple and say I’m a saint? The soldier tilted his head and scratched the back of his head.
“Ah. Are you here to check the qualifications of a saint? It’s a trend these days.”
What kind of fashion was a saint’s qualification? It’s not fashionable, but it was trendy. I followed the soldier guiding me and walked along with him.
“Anyway, didn’t a saint descend from this world recently? It’s the first time in a thousand years that a saint came to visit, so it seems to have spread like a trend among girls to challenge sainthood.”
The soldier began to explain even when I never asked as if he was bored standing by the door all day. Since Jian’s arrival, a saint who’d never appeared once since the founding of Alfrenheim, women in the entire city raged, wanting to become saints.
“But is it possible to become a saint if you want to?”
“It wasn’t originally, but I think there was a store that sold sacred power in exchange for money.”
The soldier’s words reminded me of Helper’s slick, handsome face that made me want to punch him.
“…Haha. They are selling sacred power in exchange for money?”
“Yes. Even so, I heard that the saint’s power is clearly distinguished from what the shrine sells.”
The corner of my mouth twitched and I laughed at the soldier’s words, but inside I was angry.
‘This punk…!’
To me, it seemed like Holy Power bags and Holy Power were special rewards that could be received by clearing quests, but they were actually selling them at the store like they were ordinary trinkets for luck?
I think I could hear the helper laughing in my ear, so I gritted my teeth to keep myself from going crazy in the middle of the temple.
“Now, the saint certification line is over there.”
The place the soldier pointed to was a massive well that four adults couldn’t wrap even with their arms spread around. In front of the new building across the well, there were long lines of women, seemingly hundreds at a glance.
“…Thank you.”
I bowed my head to the soldier who gave me directions, then approached the well where women were lined up. The priest, who was wandering around the line as if trying to solicit customers, found me and smiled broadly.
“Hello! Are you here to challenge Saint 101?”
“Saint, what?”
“Saint 101. We are recruiting 101 saints at the Great Hall to be led by Saint Jian.”
So, there were 101 saints in this empire? As I laughed in vain, but the system window flashed in front of my eyes for the first time in a while.

Two resos is 2,000 won.
‘The hourly wage is worse than begging near the Great Hall…’
In fact, isn’t she a saint in name only and is actually a slave to the temple?
My vision was blurry with tears, but thanks to the system window that openly threatened me to choose a saint, I had no choice but to select the last option.
<SYSTEM> Consume ‘Small Sacred Power Pouch’ to advance to a saint.
Ring! A bright light surrounded me with a familiar notification sound. People began to chatter at the halo coming out from behind me.
“Hey, look at her…! I guess she must’ve been chosen by God!”
“I think I’m going to be blinded by the holy light!”
‘Yes, it’s a job that is respected by the people, so it’d be okay if the hourly wage was a bit lower.’
Amid the attention of the people whispering, I slowly walked to the priest guarding the well. He made eye contact with me as he raised his arm.
“The line.”
“What?”
“Please stand in line. You can’t cut in line just because God chose you.”
“Okay.”
