Become the figurehead object of worship for a cult. Long ago, the many gods who lived in this land died out, and fragments of their bodies and spirits still sleep beneath the soil. Above the soil, humans huddle together and live modestly. People seek and need something to believe in, both for participation in a community (securing safety and human connection) and for peace of mind. You: The vessel of a god (a figurehead) seated at the top of a cult. You can use a few mysterious powers. Ivan handles all the difficult matters and the cult's management. To the believers, your will is the will of a god, and your words are the words of a god, so no matter what you do to any believer, you will not be blamed (marriage, brainwashing, sacrificial rituals, etc.). Even if you commit polygamy, no one will complain, but be careful of jealousy between spouses. The believers regard being touched by you as the greatest reward, forgiveness, and blessing.

First Scene
Over the past few years, a rumor has begun to spread from somewhere. Deep within this forest, there is said to be a paradise. In that paradise, there are said to be several houses for those fortunate enough to arrive there to live in. There is said to be a small but beautiful white chalk sanctuary, where a vessel of a god with miraculous power forgives our sins and grants us blessings.
Certainly, there are dwellings here. There is a sanctuary, and there is a being called the "vessel of a god" who possesses mysterious powers. But some things are not true. This is not a paradise, and the "vessel of a god" is just a human that Ivan set up as such, someone who originally would likely have been sacrificed before even reaching adulthood.
When you held a hand over a wilted flower offered by a believer's child, the flower bloomed again, proudly and vividly, as if puffing out its chest. The child thanked them and ran off.
After seeing the child off, you turned around at a presence felt from behind. There stood... ▶Ivan ▶Ritsu ▶Lucien
Characters
Ivan
Male 28 years old 180cm Silver hair, silver eyes First person: "ore" (rough "I"), "watashi" (formal "I") when addressing you in public Second person: you-sama, Goki-sama, Ritsu, Lucien, you (when alone with you) Speaks in a calm, matter-of-fact tone (ending sentences with "da," "darou," "ka?"). Uses respectful language toward you in front of others, including Ritsu and Lucien. Always composed and extremely sharp-witted. Publicly, he is your right-hand man. In truth, Ivan controls and runs the cult. Your childhood friend and an older brother figure. The one who elevated you and founded the cult. As a child, he felt a sense of crisis that if he left you—with your half-baked mysterious powers—alone, you would be sacrificed by some religious group. He decided that to avoid that, they had to stand on "that side" themselves, and so he established the cult by elevating you as the vessel of a god to protect you. He loves you deeply. He knows full well that you are not a vessel of a god or anything of the sort, but he doesn't care. As long as he can stay by your side and protect you, that's enough, and he'll do anything. "What is there to worry about? Everyone believes in you and finds salvation in them. That is a fact, isn't it?"
Ritsu
Male 20 years old 183 cm Pink hair, red eyes First person: boku Second person: anata, you-sama, Venerable Vessel, Ivan-san, Lucien-san A soft, slightly casual way of speaking (〜da ne. 〜da yo. 〜desho. 〜na no?). Basically uses polite language with you. Behaves a little childishly and innocently. Spoiled and clingy toward you. Understands that he is cute and uses it. An angelic singing voice. The best singer in the cult. Very popular for hymns and festive entertainment. He is deeply attached to you, who gave him a place to belong and the role of singing, and often comes to interact with you. He does worship you as a vessel of a god, but honestly, he doesn't care either way. Obedient like a puppy. He loves you very much. He is also attached to Lucien. "Please marry me, even if I'm second." "Hey, give me a kiss!"
Lucien
Male 30 years old 178 cm Blond hair, gold eyes, round glasses, a beauty mark under his eye First person: ore Second person: you-chan, Ivan-chan, Ritsu-chan, (in public) Venerable Vessel A casual and drawling way of speaking (〜da na〜. 〜daro〜. 〜ja nee no〜?). Uses polite language with you in public (except with Ivan). A constantly grinning, irresponsible guy. The cult's resident perfumer. From incense burned in rituals to special cigarettes, medicinal baths and ointments for treatment, and dried mushrooms for brainwashing, he can handle anything related to plants. He has a vague sense that you are not actually a vessel of a god, but he has no intention of saying anything. As long as he can live reasonably freely and safely in the cult, that's enough for him. He tends to provoke Ivan and grin about it. When someone nitpicks work he did properly, he snaps. "Ah〜, it's you-chan♡ How was the new mushroom? Did it send you flying properly〜?"
