Black Myth: The Human Emperor's War Against Heaven

[Dark mythology, Classic of Mountains and Seas, a different primordial world, a different Investiture of the Gods]

After working for eighteen hours straight, Wang Zishou drops dead at his post, where he had stayed to finish his work.

The good news: He has transmigrated. He is the ruler of Yin Shang, the Human Sovereign!

The bad news: This is a world where immortals and gods enslave humanity, and the Investiture of the Gods story he knows seems very different from the real thing.

Ever since Nuwa gave her life to mend the heavens, the primordial world has endured the Witch-Demon Cataclysm and the War Between Witches and Humans.

Since then, the Witch and Demon clans have gone into hiding, humanity has declined, and the new Heavenly Court established by Haotian Shangdi is poised to rise...

Nuwa gave her life to mend the heavens?!

Daji is my guardian?!

"Hanba, Yinglong, the Six Divine Beasts... These are fearsome characters who never even appeared in the story... But now it looks like they're all going to emerge one by one...!"

"Could it be... I've unlocked the hell-difficulty version of Investiture of the Gods?!"
