Rin sat alone in the darkness.
The room was quiet. Too quiet.
He had spent the last hour trying to understand the strange ability that had awakened inside him.
Truth Resonance.
That was what the System had called it but the System hadn't explained much.
Of course it hadn't. Rin stared at the ceiling.
"Why would a god leave me with instructions and no manual?"
The System remained silent.
"That's rhetorical."
Still nothing. Rin sighed. He closed his eyes.
The strange bell was still somewhere inside his mind. He could almost feel it waiting.
Not constantly. Only when someone said something that wasn't true. But there was something he didn't understand.
What counted as a lie? Did someone have to intentionally deceive him?
Could someone simply be mistaken? Could someone hide information without actually lying?
Rin had no idea and he wasn't about to test the ability on the people around him.
.He needed to learn its rules first. Quietly. Without anyone noticing.
