Radelk tilted his head after she asked him.
“To be precise, I don’t know the exact probability either, but considering that 30 Holy Tiers give a guaranteed 3-star ticket, we can estimate that it’s at least around 3%.”
“Only a 3% chance for 3-star or higher?”
That meant 97% of the gacha attempts would end in failure.
“3-star means national-level, right?”
“Yes, national-level.”
Hmm. National-level. Vague. Very vague.
She groaned and fell into deep thought. Should she really gather 30 Holy Tiers from the faith of the villagers?
‘At this rate, it’ll take at least three weeks.’
Even the recent rapid increase in accumulation had only been temporary, and now the rate was crawling forward like an ant’s tear. At this speed, it would take at least three weeks to reach 30 Holy Tiers.
After a long groan, she made her decision.
‘I’ll pull it. I’m someone who’s destined to succeed.’
First pull: a 5-star. Second pull: a 3-star. Then wasn’t this account—no, this life—blessed?
“Let’s call it a blessed life.”
‘A true hero never looks back. This is all for the greater good.’
She took out two Holy Tiers and fiddled with them.
‘Gooood… here I gooo…!’
She had lost her original caution.
Driven by greed, she pressed the rabbit’s front paw. Her eyes glittered with material desire. That arrogance—I am someone who will succeed—had consumed her.
The sinful blue rabbit’s belly shook violently, and something spilled out.
Light filled her vision. When she opened her eyes again, there stood a Greek-style muscular marble statue.
Handsome.
[RARE—!]
Rare? Rare?
If 5-star was “Ultra Super Special Rare,” and 3-star was “Super Ultra Rare,”
then if each star removed a modifier… Rare would be…
‘1-star? Don’t tell me it’s actually 1-star?’
[Please gather divine power and try again next time! Special handsome 4–5 star summons await you! Bye bye!]
The cursed rabbit statue spat out its message and vanished. She stared blankly.
“W-what is this, Radelk?”
“This is… a Holy Guardian Golem. I didn’t expect to see one again.”
“A Holy Guardian Golem?”
“It is a golem powered by divine energy. Unlike magically created golems, it is born from faith itself. The more belief it gathers, the stronger it becomes.”
The golem began moving with a creaking sound.
“In the beginning, there was beauty.”
“…It’s saying weird things.”
“It has intelligence. It was created by divine power.”
[Though the wind cannot be seen, its direction is known by the hair of a handsome man. So too is righteous action.]
It moved while striking exaggerated Greek bodybuilding poses.

‘Seriously, what kind of drugs is the God of Beauty on to create something like this…’
The statue struck a shot-put pose and continued preaching.
[An evil man’s face reflects his heart. A righteous man’s face also reveals his heart. Control your desires and avoid greed.]
Then it shifted into Rodin’s Thinker pose.
[Even if one is born handsome, without faith his life is short.]
‘This thing is preaching all by itself.’
[Men who believe in the God of Beauty shall live as handsome men. Women who believe shall obtain handsome husbands.]
She tried her best not to look directly at it.
“So it keeps saying that nonstop?”
“Yes. And it is quite powerful.”
“Stat 8 means eight times stronger than normal people?”
“Yes. But in practice, it will feel stronger. All stats combine together.”
‘That statue… is that strong?’
She steadied herself and asked:
“Is that town-level strength?”
“Yes.”
‘If that’s town-level… then what the hell is city-level? And more importantly… how strong is Radelk?’
She had to at least confirm its obedience.
“Hey, statue guy!”
[O representative of the God of Beauty. Why do you call upon me?]
“…It understands speech?”
[Life is short, but faith is eternal. We must continuously guide the unbelievers.]
‘Yeah… basically telling me to let it go evangelize.’
She nodded.
“Please take care of the territory.”
[Then I shall depart.]
The statue left the castle, its voice echoing across the walls.
Hearing it, she suddenly thought of vegetable trucks shouting in alleys—“Fresh vegetables! Fresh vegetables!” And their cousin, the squid truck.
The results were immediate.
People were deeply moved by the divine manifestation.
“A walking statue doing evangelism!”
“A miracle! A miracle!”
Ding—
―Your people were moved by the statue. Divine power increased rapidly!
―1 Holy Tier has been gained!
She thought:
‘These people’s religious sensitivity is ridiculously easy.’
Well, a visible golden calf always beats an invisible stone tablet.
‘Idolatry, huh. Yeah… golden calf or walking statue, same thing.’
She felt a brief sympathy for Moses.
Then—
―Quest completed. Please receive your reward!
A silver ticket descended. A single-use gacha ticket.
She held it with hollow eyes.
‘Fine. If I’m doing it anyway… I’ll just pull again.’
She had already entered early-stage gacha addiction.
A silver rabbit appeared.
[RARE—!]
‘F*ck, 1-star again?’
She reflected:
‘…Am I actually not “the chosen one”?’
[Anti-Aging Skin Potion ★]
Protects skin for 10 years. No wrinkles!
“Why is it always junk like this!”
Despite her words, she immediately opened it and applied it to her face. Skin care was important.
“….”
It did feel moisturized.
Radelk asked:
“What will you do now?”
She had 2 Holy Tiers left.
Already in a state of early gacha addiction, she said:
“I’ll just use the remaining two as well.”
Even though the efficient choice was to save points, she completely ignored logic.
“Since we already pulled a religious NPC, let’s just summon another helper. It only takes 1 Holy Tier anyway. Waiting for a guaranteed pull is annoying.”
“….”
Radelk sensed something murky from her.
‘Is this… really okay?’
He did not yet understand what he was witnessing—
the aura of a full-blown gacha addict.
