[Urban Superpowers + Heretical Invasion + Game of Power Struggles]= [No System]+ [No Female Lead]+ [Not Invincible]. You won't regret skipping it, but you'll definitely regret reading it.
Twenty years ago, the fingertip of a god pierced the veil of the world.
When [Heretical Invasion] tore through the city's neon lights, ten [Authorities] fell like meteors, and thirty heretical creatures awakened beneath scarlet contracts. They used their followers' flesh and blood as game pieces, fighting for supremacy on the board laid out by the gods.
Only one victor would ascend to the divine throne. The losers' bones would become the foundation of a new world.
Su Cheng was the only “error” in this game.
The boy had been adopted by an orphanage, yet a sinister entity calling itself [Old Yang] was parasitizing his body. It sought no authority and made no contracts, but whenever death drew near, it made Su Cheng realize that he was a madman.
Parchment passed through shadowy alleys, while followers ignited wars for the heretics.
When a contractor's heart stopped beating, the corresponding heretic was permanently struck from the list of candidates for the divine throne. This was an ironclad law laid down by the gods, but the sharpest blade in Su Cheng's hand.
“You say humans can't slay gods?”
The shattered contract burned in Su Cheng's palm as Old Yang's mocking laugh mingled with the anguished cries of all living things.
At this very moment, authority was sprouting from the flesh and bones of mortals!
It starts off on a rocky note, not mentioning the danger, but letting people run around, not mentioning the hiring of bodyguards, but letting people misunderstand it, claiming that there is no heroine, writing ambiguous words, and falling in love at every turn.
It's very well written, and the world view feels so grand. It's such an undiscovered book.
