Superstar From Age 0 - Chapter 495:

Johnathan, an old man with an extraordinary past but an ordinary end, gets reincarnated in a dark fantasy world full of magic, darkness, and mysteries furled.

However, he committed a grave blunder by taking the fiction he had read as a reference. Reborn as a baby, he hoped to be deemed gifted by speaking early.

One thing led to another, and tragedy struck. The villagers declared him a demon-possessed and called the church. Johnathan, now known as Sylvester Maximilian, realized that he had messed up.

When the church's inquisitors came to judge him and burn him on a pyre. As a last resort and to welcome his soon to arrive second death, he started chanting holy hymns as his last breath.

Overwhelmed, they kneeled, thinking he was a messenger of Solis.

From there, the story of how Sylvester Maximilian rose through the ranks to sit at the top began.

But his life won't be ordinary, as he uses his cunning and the tag of 'God's favored' to his advantage. Fighting treachery, unearthing secret plots and world mysteries, facing the darkness around him and creating his place in history, engraving his name in the annals to be forever remembered as the—Immortal Pope, The Young.

[A/N: To not mislead you, the novel's name does not mean he instantly becomes the Pope from the start. The story will follow the life of MC. Though he will become the Pope at a pretty young age. 40% of the novel will be based around MC fighting to sit on the supreme throne.

If you enjoy world building and lore building, then you will like this story.]

[WARNING: MC will not go around saving everyone. Absolutely not if it puts him in danger. But if he can save someone using his status or position in the church, he will. He will kill innocent people if he has to. MC is not crazy, cynical, or unsociable. The world at some times may seem very DARK.]

[DISCLAIMER]
The religion will be fake. I won't make it similar to those existing in our world not to trigger anyone. However, the Church terminologies and designations may feel identical as they are simple vocabulary words.

Again, everything you read in this novel is fictional and has no relation to our world.

I hope you enjoy my work. Stay safe and eat healthy bananas.

[System Binding....]

[10...20...30...%&...@#,,,]

[Unknown Error! Unknown Error!]

[System unable to bind successfully]

[Invoking the emergency protocol]

“Hey, System!”

“System! Where are you?”

[Host bound to the Lotus World Providence]

[Host has gained eternal life]

“Hell yeah!”

Sigh!

“That was me... 10 years ago...”

“Now...” He took a deep breath and shook his head dejectedly.

Su Yen transmigrated to the Lotus World with high hopes after receiving his system and gaining eternal life.

“It's my time to rule the world!”

However, his grand ambitions came crashing down when he realized his system was nothing more than a knockoff.

“Who on earth created this pathetic knockoff system?!”

Sigh!

“At least, I can live forever and enjoy my life without ruling the world.”

Once again, his naive thoughts were shattered when he realized the world was not as peaceful as he thought.

He needs to increase the world's providence to enjoy this life or else...

He'll be damned to eternal suffering.

“System! I don't want eternal life again!”

“Please make me mortal!” He cried.

It was then he realized the importance of power.

You need strength to get what you want, but too much strength is also a curse, especially when the Bloodmoon Envoy arrives...

They start killing the strongest ones.

Su Yen, being immortal, wasn't scared of the Bloodmoon Envoys, but what about his loved ones? And what about the world providence?

Now, in the Lotus World where everyone is terrified of breakthroughs,

What can he do?

Too much talent is a curse. Lack of talent is also a curse.

“What kind of a messed-up world is this?”

Su Yen is in a dilemma about what to do with his life in this complicated world. However, everything changes when his clan is on the brink of destruction.

He must make a decision.

“Who cares about the world?”

“But no one dares to touch my clan and loved ones.”
