Sinister Knight: Dawn Of A Sinful Calamity

As Blake already knew, Braga was the name of the planet which he was on and from the books he read in the library, he learnt that according to historians, there had once been a large continent on it called Narash, this continent surrounded by an encompassing sea called Junos.

Though the books didn't go into specification about Narash, it made clear the fact that at some time in the past, this super large continent had split into 4 continents, 3 of which were currently known and possible to access while the other had seemingly vanished, most theorizing that it had drifted away to the other side of the world.

Within the books, Blake had seen some diagrams of Narash and then that of the content after it had split, noticing that a large chunk of it was missing from the bigger picture.

Looking at the spherical image of Braga and the blue ocean which covered most of it and reminded him of earth, Blake couldn't help but wonder why the people of this world had not sailed the sea and tried to discover the missing continent.

It was only later that Blake would read and understand that the seas of this world were not to be treated like that of Earth, the dangers that lurked within them being one that kept even fourth-order beings in check.

Reading about the general politics of this world, Blake also read up on the workings of religion in the world, surprise filling him when he learnt that the churches were actually the true rulers of the planet with the pope standing at the top, and it worked like this.

In this world there were several churches, all these churches having their own god whom they served, and amongst these churches, there were 7 main churches, and though this should have implied that there were seven main gods, there were actually 8 main gods.

The sun god, the god of darkness, the moon goddess, the goddess of fire, the god of thunder, the god of entertainment, the goddess of nature, the god of the sea.

Other than the god of the sea, all the other gods had their own churches, the hierarchy of their churches having a panel of archbishops at the top and then ruling over all these churches including archbishops was the pope who was selected from whichever church won a competition that was held every hundred years.

Knowing how fanatical religious people could be and imagining how arrogant their gods were, it surprised Blake to know that rather than engage in battle to wipe out each other, these people were instead living in harmony.

It was after reading some key books that Blake got the hint that the only reason these churches didn't straight out declare was due to the influence of the god of the sea.

The few mentions of the god of the sea gave him a mysterious atmosphere and Blake tried to find out more information about him but ended up empty, eventually having to give up and begin reading up about ranked beings and the wars of this planet.

It was in this part of his studies that Blake learnt that though the churches were restricted from battling each other, they based themselves in different countries as the main religion and fought each other when these countries went to war.

An example can be taken from Aramia and the other countries that 2 other countries that shared the continent of Gharactol with her.

Of these two countries, one was dominated by the church of darkness while the other by a minor god, the god of dreams.

There had been several other countries in Gharactol, but they had all been conquered by Aramia, this a proof of their bloodthirstiness, especially that of their champion.

The mortal realm and unbound realm topic which Lena had briefly mentioned when she taught him about using his blood was what Blake was currently reading up on, understanding that from the first order to the sixth order, they all fell under this realm and he had just finished reading on the little information which was available about the unbound realm when a woman walked up to him.

The woman was dressed in a fine green dress that reached her knees and then covered in thick green robes, the high quality of her dress easy for Blake to notice despite never having been one for fashion.

The golden earrings the woman wore amplified her already immaculate beauty, drawing one's attention to her red lips and curly long Blake hair.

A single glance at the woman and one would know she was a person of high society, the exact kind of person that Blake wanted to avoid at the moment.

"The both of you are under arrest, place both your hands on the table," the woman said her tone calm and the two men that stood behind her with their hand on the hilt of their swords making it clear that they were not here to play.

Blake had noticed when the woman came into the library and had been quick to pick up on her stare several minutes ago before promptly ignoring it as that of some curious female, how was he to know that he would end up in such a situation.

"Is there a problem ma'am, we haven't done anything" Blake said as he slowly raised his hands and put them on the table signalling an unhappy Lena to do the same.

Understanding that this wasn't some democratic country he was in but one ruled by royalty, nobility and money, Blake decided to approach this matter with diplomacy, glad when he saw the woman hesitate after he peacefully complied with her words.

At the moment, the entire country was looking for him, a clash with this city was the last thing Blake needed.

"You have on an illusion, take it off," the woman said with narrowed eyes.

Though Blake wasn't 100% sure, he knew that what the disguise the system title provided him went beyond the scope of an illusion, and this left his dulling of his and Lena's charisma the only illusion he had on himself but that small bit of hesitation from him was all it took for her to cast a spell on him.

"Break" she said and like that Blake's illusion came crashing down, he and Lena's appearance revealed in all its glory.
