Dragon Soul: Strange Visions

(⚠️SCP + furry fan + doomsday countdown + ⚠️mind-corrupting beast taming + ⚠️ordinary people outsmarting ancient gods + urban legends about dragons + an ensemble cast of nonhumans... This is a grounded, underdog story about pretending to be a tiger while enduring hardship. Ask me if anything is unclear. Readers who dislike a slow-burn narrative, please proceed with caution!) (Divider) What... am I supposed to do? I can't tell her the truth, not yet! Any description of 【Them】 will make her catch 【Their】 attention sooner, and there are only five months left before the boundary between reality and illusion in Magic City collapses... 《Dragon Soul: Academy Strange Tales》 is a sensation among fantasy RPGs. Its dragon-battle system has taken the country by storm, and 23-year-old Zhang Chenyu, having won first place in a fan-creation contest for the game, is invited to join Avalon and travel to Magic City to work on its promotional campaign. But what's waiting for Zhang Chenyu is not only her character, “Naga,” breaking through dimensions to appear at her side, but also a Magic City gripped by a crisis of cognitive contamination! Dragon souls that feed on cognition are appearing one after another, while the overlapping realms of reality and illusion known as Cocoon Domains steadily encroach on the city. The creators are forced to face the rising tide of fantasy they brought into being with their own hands! Within five months, Magic City's normal social order will gradually collapse as cognitive contamination intensifies. To keep the unspeakable ancient gods from hurting and scaring away their creator, Zhang Chenyu, Naga decides to lie low and prepare the way for her growth. But with Zhang Chenyu unaware of Naga's plan, can she, or the two of them, really save Magic City?
