Lamplighter, Soul Warden: I’ll Protect the Soul of My Nation With My Life!

[The blurb isn’t doing the story justice, so please read the main text. The characters may seem strange because they’ve lived too long, and none of them are quite right in the head.]

Cthulhu Mythos + Classic of Mountains and Seas + no heroine + ensemble cast. (Most characters have no romantic pairings, while a few are destined to be together.)

“My Circle Is Full of Powerful Backers”

Multiple universes collide, with intertwined settings. It’s absurd yet somehow reasonable, full of schemes beneath the surface of apparent foolishness.]

“Immortality, immortality! If I eat your flesh, I’ll surely gain eternal life!”

Six thousand years of confusion vanished in a single instant.

“Here, have some chocolate~ You can have two!”

Envy and jealousy nearly consumed him. His greatest regret was about to come to pass...

It was thirteen years before he met his childhood friend again, and this time, there were other figures by his side.

Some clever, some mischievous; some boisterous, some quiet.

And so the boy who was a ghost entered the world of the living.

Cause and effect, reincarnation: all are governed by fate. This is a promise made billions of eras too late, and a vow of certain victory.
