My Angelic System

It was the Holy Church. As he walked closer to the city, he couldn't help but notice the magnificent church building standing tall among the other buildings. It was indeed a popular destination for tourists, but there was something else that caught Kye's attention.

There was an air of peace and serenity that surrounded the church, and Kye felt drawn to it. He had never been a religious person, but there was something about this place that made him feel like he belonged.

As he entered the church, he was greeted by a kind-looking priest who welcomed him warmly. Kye explained his reason for being there, and the priest listened intently. After a few moments of silence, the priest spoke.

"My son, it seems that fate has brought you here for a reason. We believe that everyone has a purpose in life, and perhaps yours is to join us and serve the Lord."

"Lord? What do you mean?"

Kye asked, curious to learn more about this deity the priest was referring to.

The priest smiled gently and began to explain, "The Lord, my son, is our Creator and the Almighty God. He is the source of all goodness and the light that guides us through life. We believe that He has a plan for each of us, and it is our duty to follow that plan to the best of our abilities."

"He created the world and everything in it, including us humans. He loves us unconditionally and wants us to live in harmony with each other and with the natural world. He has given us free will to make our own choices, but with that free will comes responsibility. We must use it wisely and strive to do what is right and just."

Kye listened intently as the priest spoke, but he couldn't help but feel dubitative of the priest's words. While he appreciated the priest's kindness and welcoming demeanor, he couldn't help but wonder if there was more to the story.

"Father, I appreciate your kind words, but I have to admit that I am a bit skeptical. I mean, how can we know for sure that there is a God and that He has a plan for us?" Kye asked, voicing his concerns. He already knew that there were angels and demons, and obviously, a higher god that rule over all of them.

However, he couldn't understand how this church could be so sure about what they were talking about. It was almost as if there was something fishy underneath the table.

The priest nodded thoughtfully, understanding Kye's hesitation. "It is understandable to have doubts, my son. Faith is not something that can be proven or measured, but rather it is a belief that we hold in our hearts. We believe that God exists and that He loves us, but ultimately it is up to each individual to decide for themselves what they believe."

Kye pondered the priest's words, still unsure of what to believe. While he appreciated the sense of peace and comfort that the church offered, he couldn't help but wonder if there was something more.

The priest thought that Kye was thinking actively and smiled benevolently, but it couldn't be farther from the truth as Kye was just discussing with Lightbringer.

'What do you think?'

'It's strange for them to act like this in this day and age where religion is now a far-fetched concept.'

'Indeed,' Kye agreed with Lightbringer's assessment. 'But at the same time, there's something about this place that feels... different. I can't quite put my finger on it.'

Lightbringer hummed thoughtfully. 'Perhaps it is the energy of the place, or maybe there is something more to this church than meets the eye. And... I can almost feel holy energy here.'

Kye nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of unease creeping up on him. He wasn't sure if it was his own doubts or something else entirely, but he knew that he needed to investigate further before making any decisions.

"Father, I appreciate your kind words, but I think I need some time to think things over. I'm not quite sure if I'm ready to make any commitments just yet." Kye said, offering a polite smile to the priest.

The priest nodded understandingly. "Of course, my son. Take all the time you need. We are always here if you need us."

Kye thanked the priest and made his way out of the church, deep in thought. He already knew that he would join the holy church as he wanted to know more about who was managing this church, but he still decided to wait a bit to show them latter than he was sure of his choice.

During this time, he walked around the church to see what people were doing.

As Kye walked around the church, he couldn't help but notice the intricate architecture and beautiful stained glass windows that adorned the building. The church seemed to be a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the people who built it.

He also observed that the church was bustling with activity. People were coming and going, some to attend services, and others to seek solace or guidance from the priests. The church also had a small café that served refreshments, and a gift shop where visitors could buy religious items and souvenirs.

Kye noticed that the church also had a rich history. A few priests he listened to had mentioned that the church had been standing for over a century and had survived wars and natural disasters. The church had also been a center for various religious and cultural events over the years, which added to its importance as a touristic destination.

Kye couldn't deny the fact that the church had a certain charm and allure to it. Even if someone was not religious, they could appreciate the beauty and historical significance of the church. The church also offered a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, a place where visitors could reflect and find inner peace.

As Kye continued to walk around the church, he felt a sense of calm wash over him. The peaceful atmosphere and beautiful surroundings had a calming effect on him, and he felt grateful to have stumbled upon this hidden gem. However, this gem was also unsettling him. He was more and more convinced of his feeling the more he was staying here.

There was something very fishy around here.

Nonetheless, Kye went back to the first priest he met.

However, on his way, Kye couldn't help but notice a small room tucked away in a corner of the building. It seemed to be a private room, and he could see a few people going in and out of it.

Curiosity getting the better of him, Kye decided to investigate. He walked towards the room and noticed that there was a sign on the door that read "Private Room - Meetings with the Church Leader Only."

Kye took a deep breath and knocked on the door, unsure of what to expect. After a few moments, the door opened, and he was greeted by a tall, imposing figure dressed in priestly robes.

But what surprised him the most was his handsome face. He was so handsome that even Kye almost paled in front of him.

Almost.

"Can I help you?" The church leader said. He has dazzling blond hair and emerald eyes. His figure was oozing with confidence. However, what surprised Kye the most was the holy energy he could feel coming from the man in front of him.

"Uh-uhm," Kye started to stutter as he didn't expect to see another angel here. "I am here to join the holy church, and I figured that I should come to the head priest if I wanted to join you."

Just before the head priest could open his mouth, a priest came running from behind Kye. "Head priest, I apologize to have left someone comes near your office." The sweating priest apologized to the head priest before looking at Kye with a scared smile.

'Indeed, there's something fishy.'

"It's alright. This little man here wanted to join us, and he came to the right place," The head priest said as he made the priest go back in his track. Once he went away, he continued. "Please enter. It would be disrespectful of me if I were to let my guest stand like this, right?"

Kye only smiled at the head priest before entering the room.

The room was gently decorated with a clean desk and sofas when guests were coming here. After Kye was gestured to make himself comfortable, he sat on the sofas.

However, the actions of the head priest were strange. Instead of sitting down as well, he closed the curtain and locked the door. He even made a barrier that looked like it would block any sounds.

Kye's heart started to race as he realized that something was definitely not right. The calm and peaceful atmosphere he felt earlier had disappeared, and a sense of unease settled in his gut.

"Why did you do that?" Kye asked, his voice trembling slightly.

The head priest turned to him with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "I apologize if I've made you feel uncomfortable, but I have a confession to make."

Kye's anxiety started to spike, and he felt a knot form in his stomach. He had a feeling that this confession wasn't going to be good.

"I am not what I seem," the head priest continued. "But I guess you already know about it, right?"
