I Command You to Become the Cult Master

Beneath the glow of gaslights, a massive difference engine hums as Eliot pushes levers at his desk, ejecting a stream of cards. Curious about unusual events, he feeds the card labeled "Confused Maiden" into the slot "Night Stroll," which points to "Prosperous City." In that instant, Vanessa freezes—an invisible force seizes her body and propels her toward the city lights. She walks past corpses by the roadside, witnesses a rotting prosperity, and confronts everything that has been trampled. Her eyes lose all trace of joy or sorrow as she murmurs, "So this is what you wanted me to see, my lord." The Confused Maiden becomes the Devout Maiden, who then transforms into the Cult Master. She pledges to become her lord's agent and spread his radiance across this foul world, declaring that if justice never existed, then death itself is the only equality. With that, the cult is founded, and her sinister name begins to echo through the land. Eliot scratches his head in bewilderment, wondering how a mere stroll could turn her into a zealot—after all, he never preached a single word. This complete novel, polished and spanning over two million characters, awaits your reading with confidence.
