Chapter 1

**Vera** is the male protagonist of ***The Regressor and the Blind Saint***. He is the Apostle of the God of Oaths, was the leader of the underworld, and is currently a Holy Knight of the Holy Kingdom. He is also the escort and protector of the Saint. In his previous life, he was a notorious and powerful individual who controlled the Underworld of the continent.

## Appearance

### Pre-Regression

Prior to his regression, Vera was a man with a good physique whose body was full of scars, including his face. He had long messy black hair and gray eyes. He had a rather ferocious presence.

### Post-Regression

After regressing, he was back in his body as a fourteen-year-old. Because he was a slum-dweller, his body was frail and skinny, and he was dirty and his hair unkept. However, after entering the Holy Kingdom and building up more weight by eating and training, his body became more refined and well-built. According to the Apostle of Love, Theresa, he is handsome.

## Personality

Vera was a slum-dweller, a young boy who used the Stigma of Oath to rise in power and dominate the dark world. He killed, he plundered, and he could be considered an evil person. But Vera was willing to face his sins in death. He had no regrets because he did what he did to live a life he wanted. This thoughts remained the same until meeting the Saint, Reena, whose care and genuine affection managed to change him.

But prior to his regression, he had a very dirty personality. But even after regressing, he was bad enough that he beat up some of the Apostles. During battle, he tends to smile due to the thrill of it.

Using his Stigma of Oath, he made an Oath to live for her if there was a next life. After regressing, his way of thinking changed. He knew he wasn't worthy to stand next to the Saint, but neither did he want Renee to suffer like she did in his previous life. Thus, he chose to improve in order to go after her, his "light". For that, he became a Holy Knight, and did his best to change his mindset and the way he wielded his sword.

Generally, he is a dense guy, this maybe be due to lack of meaningful relationships with women due to the fact he was very powerful and evil in his past life. He also fails to understand most positive emotions. He sees himself as the worse scourge in the world and thus, so when face with pure positive emotions, mostly from Renee, he becomes bewildered. He wants to better himself in order to be worthy of standing next to Saint and protect her.

His greatest wish is to prevent Saint's life from ending the same way it did in his previous life. He wanted to put her in the highest and most noble position, and protect her. He wants to dedicate his life to her, and keep his oath. He is extremely kind to Renee, to the point of being unable to defy her. He tends to apologize for any small inconvenience.

## Abilities

### Stigma of Oath

The Stigma of Oath is something he obtained from the God of Oath. It is a stigma that allows Vera to make oaths in exchange for benefits. When using it, he has to speak out the oath out loud, which means his enemies will know what he is doing. The oath, in exchange for limiting himself or others, grants benefits, but also punishments. Usually, the punishment of breaking the oath is worse than the rewards. Depending on the oath, the duration varies. It can be as short as a certain situation or lifelong like Vera's oath to "Live for the Saint."

Although this Stigma is fraudulent, failing to keep the oath is very dangerous.

### Sanctuary

**Sanctuary**, as Vera calls it, is an extension of his Stigma. It allows him to spread his divinity and the power of his stigma to the space around him, applying new laws by using the name of the God of Oath. By spreading the range of the Oath, not only he, but others are affected by the Oath. He usually uses this when fighting many other people, limiting certain things in exchange for benefits. For example, he limited the Dragonians ability to cast magic, removing their most powerful ability, in exchange for boosting their physiques. If they were to break the oath, their hearts would have stopped.

The usage of this ability usually requires Vera to say "I declare" and "in the name of the God of Oaths."

### Sword Master

Vera prides himself in his sword skills. In his past life, he had seen and fought many people. His swordsmanship had been refined into a powerful and changing sword art meant for killing his enemies. In the eyes of others, his swordsmanship is that of a wild beast who seeks to kill and slaughter his enemies. His sword skills are such that Vera said that the reason the Heroes cursed him was that they failed to defeat him in combat.

### Divine Battle Art

The art of wielding Divinity when fighting.

### Overall

In his previous life, using the Stigma and his own abilities, he managed to become the King of the Continent's Underworld. He was extremely strong, but not the strongest. After regressing, at 14 and in a weakened state, he was able to kill a group of Scavengers. After the second time skip when Renee turned 18, and he was in his early 20s, Vera was already strong enough that none of the 12 Holy Knights would be his match. Even without the Stigma, that is. With the Stigma, his power had the potential to rise even further.

## Trivia

* His name, ***Vera***, is not his given name but a name given to him by a slum-dweller and it means alcohol. He does not like his name and thinks it is a dirty name.
