‘No way…’
What did the church even do to take a 50% commission?
Aren’t they just a bunch of scam artists?
Don’t tell me Bael had to deal with this too.
If that was the case, I could see why that quack priest was so hell-bent on earning money.
He must have worked hard to earn it, only for the church to take half right off the top. He must have been shaking with rage.
I clicked my tongue at the church’s villainy and moved on to the next message.
A special shop for subscribers of the product.
Discover a variety of products that can only be purchased with Heaven Coins, as well as special limited-time offers!
You can open the shop anytime, anywhere by saying, “Heaven Market.”
‘There are limited-time products?’
I can’t resist a limited edition.
As if possessed, I opened the shop.
“Heaven Market!”
Then, with another flash of light, a new window opened before my eyes.
‘Ooh…’
Just as the description said, the “Heaven Market” was stocked with a wide variety of products.
Isn’t shopping always fun?
I excitedly browsed through the items, but my enthusiasm quickly faded, and I grew listless.
‘Why is everything so expensive?’
This one was two million, that one five million.
Among the limited-edition items, there was even one that cost over ten million coins.
Even the cheapest items were in the hundred-thousands.
‘Hah… Are you kidding me with these prices?’
The monthly fee for the “Reincarnation Subscription” is only 10,000 coins!
The whole annual fee is just 120,000 coins!
In other words, I’d have to give up a year’s worth of my lifespan to buy anything.
For someone like me, whose life was hanging by a thread with only about four months left, it was all completely out of my reach.
Did it somehow hear my grumbling?
Suddenly, the product section of the “Heaven Market” flashed, and a new item appeared at the very top.
A whopping 99.9% off!
It was a special 30-minute limited offer, and I could see the purchase timer counting down in real time.
I hurriedly checked the item.
Among the many gods who watch over the continent, this glorious product allows you to communicate directly with the “Chief God Hermot”!
Original Price: 50,000,000
Discounted Price: 50,000
The continent is polytheistic.
While many gods are acknowledged and worshiped, the “Chief God Hermot” enjoys the greatest renown.
If you became a follower of Hermot, who holds a position of command over the other gods, you could also expect the blessings of the other deities.
The Central Church, where Bael belonged, was also a gathering of clerics who followed the Chief God Hermot.
‘Bael did say that clerics who could speak directly with a god were rare.’
So if I buy this, the people who mocked Lesia as a fake saintess will no longer be able to say such things…
‘Ah, no!’
Lured by the incredible 99.9% discount and the dwindling timer, I almost bought the item. I snapped out of it with a start and checked the price again.
Discounted Price: 50,000
Even with an unbelievable 99.9% discount, it was still a whopping 50,000 coins.
My entire fortune!
My five months’ worth of life!
The discounted price was so precise it made me suspect they had checked my balance and adjusted the amount accordingly!
It might have been my imagination, but I could see “Heaven’s” terrifying determination to bleed me dry of every last coin.
“Ugh…”
‘For now, it’s probably safer to focus on extending my lifespan rather than buying something like this… right?’
With my pockets being so empty, it was hard to bring myself to buy even such an incredibly discounted item.
‘It’s a shame, but I’ll have to pass on this one. It’ll probably go on sale again next time.’
Items that go on sale once tend to show up on the list again.
Just as I was thinking that and about to close the “Heaven Market” with a heavy heart…
Suddenly, another new limited discount item was added to the top.
‘Gasp. This time it’s… free?’
A practical book that provides a real-time list of various quests from the gods, which can be used to earn Heaven Coins.
Small and light, making it very portable.
You can open it anytime, anywhere to check quests, and it also contains additional information about them.
You are free to undertake the quests listed at any time, but be warned that some impatient gods may retract their quests if they remain unresolved for too long.
A must-have for subscribers who want to increase their Heaven Coins! Free as a special benefit for first-time subscribers!
Original Price: 5,000,000
Discounted Price: Free
An item that originally costs five million coins is free!
‘Not buy this?’
They were practically pushing it on me for free. I’d be an idiot not to take it!
I quickly confirmed the purchase of the “Quest List” before the limited-time offer expired.
[From Heaven]
(Notification) You have purchased the . Would you like to receive it now?
[Yes/No]
‘Yes!’
As soon as I gave my resounding answer, a book dropped out of thin air, just like when I received the Heaven Coins.
On the outside, it looked like an ordinary book with a leather-bound cover.
As the description said, it was small and light, so it wasn’t a burden for me to hold, even in this kid’s body.
I immediately closed the “Heaven Market” and opened the book to find a massive number of quests, spanning dozens of pages, all neatly organized.
Completed quests had a line drawn straight through them, making them easy to distinguish.
◈Quest◈
Punish the foolish one who doubts the Saintess and display the dignity of one chosen by the gods.
- Client: God of Judgment / Lesa
- Objective: Noah Elpinade's tears
- Reward: 50,000 Heaven Coins
- Hidden Reward: Lesa's favor
Since I had already completed the quest, I was about to casually flip past it, but the “Client” and “Hidden Reward” sections made me pause.
When I received the quest via message, it didn’t specify which god had issued it.
‘So this is the additional information the product description mentioned.’
Looking now, all the other quests also listed who the client was.
The goddess of love mostly left quests that reeked of romance, like “Get a kiss,” “Hear someone say they like you,” and “Go on a date.”
In contrast, the quests left by the God of Judgment, who gave me my first one, were more brutal, like “Punish the maid who ignored me.”
What was interesting was that different gods would issue quests with different objectives for the same situation.
The goddess of peace gave a quest with the complete opposite objective of the God of Judgment’s: “Forgive the maid who ignored me and spread the Saintess’s fame.”
It was written that the “Hidden Reward” was gaining the client’s favor…
I was still puzzled as to how this “favor” actually worked.
‘But there’s no harm in earning the gods’ favor.’
It’s good just to earn a person’s favor, so isn’t earning the favor of a god, a much higher-dimensional being, even better?
They are beings of immense power, so it will surely help me navigate this life on a terminal subscription.
I closed the book, placed it next to the piggy bank, and flopped back onto the bed.
‘I should go to the temple tomorrow.’
I have to donate Heaven Coins to the church to extend my lifespan, after all.
Though not as massive as Kidsha in the south, the headquarters of the Central Church, smaller temples built by the church were spread across the continent, propagating the faith.
Among them, the temple built in the imperial capital was on the larger side.
I didn’t know much about the temple, but I remembered it clearly because I’d visited it in my past life.
Before leaving to subjugate the Mad Dragon, I received a god’s blessing there with my party members.
‘Though, calling it a blessing is a bit of a stretch…’
It was just the four of us staring blankly while the quack priest Bael prayed for ages in front of the altar.
