THE STORY

About The Priest Is Actually A Seraph

Michael Ashbourne carries the locked power of Seraph Michael. He works as a lowly errand boy priest in a faraway small church. He feels worthless and thinks he has no Holy Light talent at all. He holds a worn-out cracked old oak staff — which is actually the Dawn Holy Staff hiding the Seraph's true form — and steps onto the church's holy trial path. After being humiliated again and again by rich young nobles, he suddenly wakes up a huge, god-like Holy Light. He rises from rock bottom and makes an undying legend. After his sacred blood awakens, he sweeps through all Abyss monsters and church enemies, then steps onto light and heads for Heaven.
