Faith Life of a Former Scammer

015. halo? If you don’t have it, you can make it!

As the old woman prepared to get a tattoo, she asked Leon.

“Do you know about soul tattoos?”

“I don’t know exactly. He just said it was necessary.”

You need to instill in them that getting a soul tattoo is ‘God’s will’.

Leon pointed his finger at the sky.

“It seems that you only told me what to do and didn’t tell me what to do.”

“Well, yes. You’re not the one who tells me the details in the first place.”

At Leon’s words, the grandmother burst into a small laugh.

“The person who opens the dawn is more pleasant than I thought.”

“That’s fortunate. We’ve been seeing each other for a long time, but it’s better to be pleasant. Also, please feel free to call me Rion.”

“All right. Leon, can I explain the soul tattoo?”

“I’ll keep it simple, please.”

“I know. I will only explain the essentials.”

She started to explain the soul tattoo.

“This tattoo is for the soul, not the body. Thanks to that, I don’t have to worry about damaging my tattoo.”

As long as the soul is not directly damaged, the tattoo will remain.

“In addition, the effect and efficacy are better than tattoos on the body.”

It sounds really good when you hear it like this, but the ‘soul tattoo’ required ridiculous conditions.

“However, materials are required. In order to get a tattoo without damaging the soul, special materials are needed.”

“Like the god I brought?”

“Right. Great Spirit Stones and top-notch Magic Stones are also possible.”

Divine Relic, Great Spirit Stone, Top-notch Magic Stone.

All three have one thing in common.

A treasure that cannot be bought even with a thousand gold.

It was this ‘soul tattoo’ that the cost performance really fell terribly.

‘Well, I ate raw food.’

Of course, these conditions were not a problem for Leon.

“Fortunately, Leon has brought something new.”

“Because it is his will.”

Leon blinked and pointed to the sky again.

Seeing that, the old woman smiled.

“The preparations for tattooing are over. Have you thought about where to get your tattoo?”

While listening to the explanation, the preparation for tattooing was over.

“Ah, I already thought of it.”

“Where are you? If you use a tattoo engraved on your soul, that place will shine. You have to think carefully and choose.”

If you engrave it in a strict place for no reason, it will shine brightly every time the tattoo is activated.

‘Before the return, Kwon Seong was engraved on both fists.’

When the tattoo was activated, both fists glowed. Thanks to that, he could be called ‘Kwon Seong’.

‘Efficacy aside, this shine is the point.’

For Leon, the effect or efficacy of the soul tattoo was just a bonus. What Leon wanted was this ‘light-emitting function’.

“Does it matter anywhere? If it’s an arm, it’s an arm, why doesn’t it have to come apart like this?”

“Yes, it doesn’t matter.”

Then there was no need to worry about this. Just choose according to your original plan.

“Please draw me a tattoo connecting both shoulders.”

“ah. You’re thinking of hiding it. Chest or back, which one would you like?”

I didn’t ask for a tattoo connecting my shoulder to hide it.

“Please connect it over the crown of your head.”

“Jeongsu-ri?”

Starting from the left shoulder, passing through the top of the head and continuing to the right shoulder, the tattoo is engraved.

“I’m not trying to hide it.”

“If it continues to shine like that… … !”

She looked at Leon with surprised eyes.

“It will look like a halo, right?”

halo? If you don’t have it, just make it.

* * *

While tattooing, she chattered incessantly.

“This is the first time I’ve ever had someone ask me to make a halo with a soul tattoo.”

Leon wanted to answer, but he couldn’t open his mouth.

‘that’s interesting.’

Getting a soul tattoo was a strange experience.

Consciousness is clear, but the body is not controlled at all. In addition, the sensation that I felt for the first time was clearly felt.

Every time her hand moved, she could feel her ‘soul’ tickling.

“It’s really amazing. I’m pretty sure you don’t know much about soul tattoos.”

Meanwhile, her chatter continued.

“To think of bringing a ‘sinmul’, a material that is perfect for priests, and even making a halo.”

After the initial panic is relieved, doubts arise soon.

A situation that fits perfectly, as if it was put together. There was no way I wouldn’t find this strange.

‘Of course it’s me.’

But Leon wasn’t worried.

Just because he is a priest gives a plausible excuse.

“Have you really received God’s will? I thought there was no god in the world.”

In this way, Leon’s alteration is transformed into God’s will.

“I will trust you for the last time. May the dawn open. I look forward to my curse being lifted.”

Her earnestness was conveyed to Leon as it was.

‘okay. Trust me, grandma. I will repay the help I received before returning with interest!’

Before returning, Leon had received a lot of help from the blade of dawn and her.

It was another reason for choosing this place for our first outing.

“The one who opens the dawn. Leon, please save us.”

She carefully applied the tattoo.

A few days passed like that.

As soon as the tattooing was finished, Leon immediately prepared to return.

“Are you leaving right away?”

“Yes. I’m still an apprentice priest, so I can’t be away for a long time.”

Silence fell for a moment.

“Remedy… … Are you a priest?”

“ah. Didn’t you tell me?”

“You have the ability to bring divine objects, and you hear the will of God directly. An apprentice priest?”

In response, Leon smiled and said.

“As you can see, I am not yet an ‘adult’. I am being educated.”

“… … It wasn’t for a while.”

Perhaps this was even a shock, the grandmother blankly looked at Leone.

“Yes. It wasn’t that I was young, but I was really young.”

“To the extent of giving a necklace to an apprentice priest.”

Just because Leon got the necklace easily, it wasn’t easy to receive it.

She knew how difficult this was.

“It’s because you didn’t tell me in detail, because you help me.”

Leon quietly pointed to the sky.

It was a light joke, but this time the reaction was different.

“I see. The church already believes in Leone.”

She saw through the church situation. The blade of dawn did not rule this place for nothing.

It was only natural that the grandmother’s abilities were outstanding.

“Undeservedly.”

“Please take good care of us.”

When ‘judgment’ was added to expectations and trust, she was able to win her trust at once.

“I’m begging you well. ah! Curse seems impossible right now. I will find some way.”

“It was a long wait. It’s okay even if it adds a little time. It may take some time, so just look for it.”

“ah. And I have a few requests for you.”

“As much as you like.”

After exchanging greetings with such a small request, Leon returned to the church.

* * *

As soon as Leon returned to the church, he was surprised.

“Priest Ruth.”

“You’re here. Are there any injuries anywhere?”

Priest Ruth was waiting at the church’s entrance.

“Yes, it is fine.”

“Then, let’s go right away.”

“Are you sure?”

“The high priest has been waiting for you for several days.”

Even the high priest was waiting for Leon.

‘What a mess this is.’

Thanks to this, Leon was brought to the high priest’s office without even unpacking his luggage.

“High Priestess, I brought Leon.”

“Oh oh! Hurry up and let me in!”

“You said our Leone came?”

I thought only the High Priest was waiting, but inside, Priest Runda was also waiting.

Sigh.

The door opened and Leon stepped inside.

“I’m back, High Priestess.”

As soon as Leon’s greetings were over, Priest Runda intervened.

“Gosh. Our Leon, are you not hurt anywhere?”

“Yes. I have been in good health. This is the path God has shown you. It wasn’t dangerous at all.”

“okay. There’s no way God would make our Leon do something dangerous. Where have you been?”

I looked at the high priest at Priest Runda’s question, and he nodded as if it was okay to talk.

“I have been to the neutral city of ‘Kilica’.”

The warm atmosphere turned cold.

“You mean that Killika?”

“Yes? What kind of killika is that?”

Leon asked what that meant.

“You don’t seem to know.”

“Yes. I just followed the path that led me.”

“Huh. How come there… … .”

Questions appeared on everyone’s faces.

‘This is how a story should start.’

As soon as it started, everyone was focusing on Leon’s words.

“Tell me in detail what happened.”

I had to go through this shock.

“Yes. After arriving at the city of Killika, I continued walking along the path God had guided me to.”

“Did you keep walking through the city?”

“Yes. The city was truly unique. People were falling everywhere, and there were many who needed help.”

“Okay.”

The priests, who knew what kind of city Killika was, swallowed it in their hearts without even telling them why they were down.

“I helped them. Healed and gave a little help. Thank you, Priest Runda. The gold you took care of was a big help.”

“I’m glad I was helpful, but… … .”

It was no different from distributing gold to drunkards and criminals.

Priest Runda was not happy with Leon’s good deeds.

‘I have to change my mind here.’

Everyone’s stereotypes were the goal.

“It was as if a dark dawn had fallen on this city.”

“It will, it will.”

“Then I realized why God sent me.”

I took out a hidden card here.

“Open the dawn and light the dawn.”

A verse found in the very first chapter of the Bible. To the Priests of Dawn, it was nothing short of the truth.

“Huh.”

“Ah, that’s right. Yes, I was obsessed with bigotry.”

“Oh God.”

The priests’ reactions were different, but it was clear that they worked perfectly.

“For several days I have been constantly walking and helping people. Oddly enough, it wasn’t exhausting or exhausting.”

“God is with you.”

If the story goes too well, there is no emotion.

“However, the spark I could light was too small. It was buried in the dark dawn, and it went out before I knew it.”

Here, a change ball had to be put in.

“It was frustrating. I couldn’t seem to do anything. From then on, a thick feeling of fatigue weighed down my body.”

Feeling hopeless, no matter how hard you try. It was a feeling that the priests always felt.

“I wanted to give up. I was resentful that God had led me here. Before I knew it, I too was swallowed up at dawn.”

The faces of the priests were pensive.

It seemed like it was his own business.

“Then a child approached. It lit me with the little ember I handed over.”

Added seasoning for immersion.

[The self-suggestion has been successful.]

Tears fell from Leon’s eyes.

“I looked around and saw that many of the dawning lights I had passed on were twinkling.”

Now it’s time to shoot the climax.

“It was a miracle. It was what God taught me.”

At that moment, Leon had a change.

“The light of dawn never fades. It’s just out of sight for a second.”

A pure white halo appeared behind Leon’s head.

“Oh God!”

The priests knelt towards Leone. Tears streamed down everyone’s faces.
