The true events of what happened after the creation of the neuronet has only been kept alive by the Rucien in their Scriptures. The Prophet Cien denounced Pentra as creating a haven for sinful indulgences in the neuronet. When Pentra had Cien arrested, Cien pronounced God’s wrath upon him and all the users of the heathen places found within the neuronet VR. As soon as he was executed reports of horrible creatures popped up within these places. People who were bitten in virtual reality developed a rash. The more times they were killed by these creatures, the worse the rash became until people noticed a connection between real life crimes and those with v-rashes.

Cien’s followers spread the word about the cause behind these creatures, and that Cien rose from the dead to give them power to resist the v-rash and proclaim the Gospel. His people become known as the Rucien, or servants of Cien. They fled Therus and are led by God’s Spirit to a planet in another galaxy where they called home for the next two thousand years – Vayci (Praise Cien).

Pentra tried fighting the v-rash people and persecuting the Ruciens until he thought he killed them all. Eventually everyone caught the v-rash because they all used the neuronet. Once someone’s rash spread far enough to turn them into verages, they were executed and their corpses burned.

On Vayci, the Rucien grew, but not without sin as it was not yet time for them to escape the bodies corrupted by sin nature. Factions rose within the Rucien and wars were fought. Eventually differences arose to the point of some leaving Vayci to settle elsewhere among the galaxy. This led them to being discovered by the Osuna (Pentra’s empire – means Sons of God…O is Pentra’s language’s letter for God. He called himself the Savior of mankind because he “freed” them from the v-rash. Really all he did was…wait (Question – is there a way that he could cure the v-rash as a form of false sign like in Revelation?). He may need to take care of this to keep using the neuronet, though maybe he trained soldiers to avoid getting bitten by the c-pans (cyber panthers: God’s chosen weapon within the neuronet).

Questions:
1)
What do you think about the power that Cien gives his followers to resist the v-rash? At first, the v-rash spreading cyber panthers were everywhere within the neuronet, but then I changed it to only places of evil within the neuronet, which kind of suggests culpability for anyone caught there to get the rash. So would they receive any special power besides wisdom, guidance, and maybe miraculous powers like in the early church to authenticate their Gospel?

2) With Pentra calling himself the Savior of mankind because he “freed” them from the v-rash – is there a way that he could cure the v-rash as a form of false sign like in Revelation? Or is he powerless to stop it once someone is bitten? All he could do then would be to quarantine victims and try to pretend it isn’t a problem.
