Entering the developer mode of the dream world that forms the [Akashic Archive], I observed the game situation in which the Constellation of [Theft] was engaged.
Unlike the horror mode I created for the other players, this game version had tailored horror specifically designed for him.
I inserted stories about his past connection—his current Apostle, Safira—into the game, particularly focusing on an NTR (Netorare) theme that was meant just for him.
Of course, in reality, she hadn’t been physically intimate with another man.
In fact, even while [Theft] was engaging with other goddesses in the divine realm, she distanced herself from other men.
She spent all that time alone, waiting for him to return.
From the story of the previous [Sacrifice] Constellation, she knew that what was happening inside the game was nothing more than a game. Yet, it felt so real that she unknowingly became immersed in it.
Perhaps that’s why her sin was able to be cleansed.
If [Theft] could genuinely accept the degradation of Safira within the game and awaken feelings of love for her again, wouldn’t he be able to drive out his Lust?
I used the power of dreams to add dramatic effects to the vision he was seeing.

“No! I have a man I love!”
“Come on, don’t say that! Come here!”
My head is burning.
“Please, not there...”
“You’re saying that, but here, you’re honest, aren’t you?”
My heart is pounding like crazy.
“Not inside...!”
“Ugh! Ugh!”
My teeth are grinding.
Creeeak...
The Constellation [The Thief Overcome by Lust] couldn't comprehend their own state.
Since ascending to the status of a Constellation, consumed by the sin of Lust, they had never felt such emotions.
Buried in the rage of the goddesses, soaked in drugs.
For hundreds of years, the excitement that had never stopped... changed.
It wasn’t the strange, thrilling excitement, but rather, an angered excitement.
As the illusion playing out in their mind ended, a new vision took its place.
The visions continued to change, playing over and over again.
A short-haired boy, a chubby middle-aged man, a tanned blonde dark elf, a bespectacled nerdy guy, and muscular beastmen.
Countless males appeared and raped the woman.
But the woman remained unchanged.
A blonde, elegant high elf woman.
Someone faintly remembered from deep within their mind.
She had been hidden beneath the scent of other goddesses' flesh, so much so that she was almost forgotten and of little interest...!
Why, then?
They couldn’t stop thinking about her.
Was it because other men were taking her?
Am I jealous?
No, that can’t be it.
During my time in the heavens, how many times did I indulge in orgies with countless gods and goddesses?
It was common to share goddesses with others.
There's no way I would be angry just because one woman was taken by someone else.
Then what is...
What is this feeling of resentment that’s building up inside me?
Even as [The Thief] who didn’t understand what was happening fell into despair, the illusions continued to play in front of him.
Brainwashing, drugs, hypnosis, repression, threats—there were many reasons why the woman was dominated by other men.
And yet, every time one illusion ended, she would hug a small doll and wipe her tears.
The doll, a precious gift made by a boy she loved, to help her survive the dark days in the underworld when she was locked away.
"Stop..."
A surge of unexplained emotion rose, a choking feeling.
It was too painful.
I can’t watch anymore.
[The Thief]'s trembling hand found the logout button to end the game.
He had come out to shout and was planning to somehow enter the clear zone beyond the horror game mode, but now wasn’t the time to worry about such things.
"Drugs..."
Visit fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm for the best novel reading experi𝒆nce.
He needed them.
Drugs that could erase this painful feeling and return him to the dazed, hallucinatory state.
"...None?"
But no matter how much he searched, there was no logout button.
Usually, the logout button was always in the corner of the game menu.
Now it was as though someone had carved it out, leaving the space empty.
"No..."
[The Thief]'s pupils shook.
“No!”
This was a conspiracy.
Someone was plotting against him.
How dare they trap me in the game and show me this disgusting scene?
[The Thief] called forth divine power.
If it’s this kind of world, then I’ll tear apart this power!
Can they continue this in the face of divine power?
Ding-
At that moment, an unfamiliar wave passed through his body.
"...What?"
The wave felt like something not of this world.
The moment the wave touched his body, his divine power was temporarily erased.
His powers as a god were completely sealed.
The illusions continued before him, now as a regular player.
Another man climbed on top of the woman,
And she, clutching a photo, endured the pain.
Then...
Slowly,
Slowly,
She set the photo down
And succumbed to pleasure.
"Stop!"
Finally, his sanity snapped.
"What do you want from me? What do you hope to achieve by planting this disgusting feeling inside me?"
He began to move forward, enduring the illusions.
Beyond the increasingly intense visions, toward the goal of ending this world.

“So when will he wake up?”
Crunch, crunch.
With a large mouthful of snacks, the Demon God asked the Magitech Engineer next to her.
The Magitech Engineer, who had been lying down and observing [The Thief]’s condition through a special telescope he had personally made, lowered the telescope.
“He doesn’t seem to be showing any signs yet.”
They had been watching in case [The Thief]’s Constellation awakened due to the game mode, so they could react accordingly.
However, no matter how long they waited, [The Thief], who was lying still as though dead, showed no signs of movement.
The Magitech Engineer, having put down the telescope, slowly turned to look at the Demon God.
“On the other hand, there are signs here. Quite a big one.”
Then, with a greasy, snack-filled cheek, he poked a small dot on the Demon God’s cheek.
“This bastard’s gone mad!”
“Ahahaha!”
“Lina said it’s a charm point!”
As the two gods were wrestling and having a playful exchange,
Brrrring—
The telescope the Magitech Engineer had set down began to ring.
“...What’s this sound?”
“...What? What’s going on?”
The Magitech Engineer picked up the telescope.
Though [The Thief] was far from where they were, his telescope allowed him to look into [The Thief]’s space beyond normal limits.
“He’s awake.”
“He woke up? Give it here! I want to see too!”
The Magitech Engineer passed the telescope to the struggling Demon God beside him and activated a large machine behind him—the divine measurement equipment.
A device created with the help of the Constellation of Wisdom to measure sins.
The Magitech Engineer used the device to check [The Thief]’s current divine status, trying to see whether the sin of Lust that was consuming him had been purged.
“...Half a success!”
There had been a change.
But it was not as much as they had hoped; it was only a partial change.
Upon realizing what this meant, the Magitech Engineer’s expression hardened.
***
“Phew...”
The Dark Elf man, having cleared the horror game mode and left that world, stood up.
A breath mixed with divine power flowed from him.
“I’m back.”
In that world, he had lost his divinity due to an unknown force, but upon leaving the game, his divine power returned.
The sensation of omnipotence wrapped around his body.
That part was refreshing.
“...What’s this?”
He frowned and pinched his nose.
The scent of the drugs he was used to.
The stench of the goddesses’ anger that he had enjoyed daily.
And the disgusting smell created by the mixing of various bodily fluids from the acts they had done.
All the surrounding scents were unbearably revolting.
The familiar smells, the ones that had kept his excitement going, now only seemed revolting to him.
He wanted to escape this place immediately.
“Ugh~♥? Did you wake up, darling~♥?”
The goddess, who had been lying next to him, woke up to the sound and sat up.
“How’s it?♥ Wasn’t it hard?♥ You couldn’t wake up, right?♥”
As she sat up, two large lumps of fat spilled out, rolling down.
Normally, he would have said, “You’re awake. Come here, you bitch,” and pounced on her. But now, he just felt like he might throw up.
“Darling~♥! Where are you going♥?”
[The Thief] stood up and left without a word.
No matter how desperately the goddess called him from behind, he deliberately ignored her and walked away.
Something in me has changed.
I’m different now.
I don’t know why, but the cause is definitely that game.
What I need to do now is find the one who made me like this.
The dark god’s spirit leapt high.
[The Thief, partially freed from Lust, is searching for someone.]
The power of dreams.
The god of dreams.
“The owner of that game who made me like this.”
The target was clear.
