Universal Job Transfer: Crazy, You Call This a Shield?

Awakening is not a gift, but a cruel scam covering the world. When people began to awaken to all kinds of abilities and thought they were the chosen ones, only a few people got a glimpse of the other side of the world - beneath the cities we live in, ancient "old gods" sleep, and the so-called "awakened ones" are just the "energy batteries" from which they draw power. The stronger the ability to awaken, the deeper the connection with the old gods, and the final outcome is only assimilation or devouring. Chen Xun, an ordinary librarian, awakened to the almost useless ability of listening. However, it was this ability that allowed him to hear the whispers of the old gods and the desperate cries of countless awakened ones at the peak of their power. When the whole world was cheering for a new era, he chose to be the rebel against the "gods". What he wants to do is not to become stronger, but to find a way to cut off the connection between all awakened people and the old gods before they are completely contaminated by "gods". But when the truth was revealed step by step, he discovered that the biggest enemy might be human beings themselves. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
