The Devil Awakens

"The legend passed down in the village was wrong?" The Village Head asked in shock, "But how?"

"Well, it was natural, I guess." The man tilted his head casually, "Since they all lost favour from me."

"L-Lost favour?" The girl seated next to him trembled in fear, feeling disbelief at the statement, "But Your Lordship, how is that possible?"

"What Deity do you think I am?" The man smiled gently, but for some reason, everyone felt chills upon hearing it.

"It's presumptuous of us to guess Your Lordship's identity." The Village Head trembled in nervousness as he requested with a bow, "Please enlighten us."

"Well, I'm not a Deity." The man said, hearing a shout of shock collectively from the crowd that was flabbergasted at the reveal.

"A-Are you perhaps a Saint of another Deity?" The girl asked in fear, for that was the only other option considering his head was full of coloured hair.
