“On the night the gods fall, mortals may seize their divine authority!”
Jiang He, a librarian with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
One late night, while sorting ancient books, he unexpectedly discovers a mysterious volume, The Ancient Grit Pantheon, which records a ritual for becoming a god:
“Let candles be your eyes and blood your guide, and mortal flesh may glimpse the path to godhood.”
Driven by his compulsions, he adjusts the candles, drips blood to activate the array, and then…
He transmigrates!
He lands in a steampunk world where the gods have fallen and faiths intertwine.
Here, the God of Light, Baldr, slaughtered the old gods, while the Dream God, Hodr, stands on the brink of oblivion. And Jiang He has become the “vessel” chosen by Hodr!
“A century of planning, and at last the time has come…”
“What the hell is that?!”
Before he can make sense of things, black-robed believers mistake him for the “reincarnation of the Dream God.” The Knights of Light hunt him down, while Lilis, a cool and beautiful apostle of the Dream God, forcibly protects him.
“You can barely use divine arts. Why would Lord Hodr choose you?”
To make matters worse, a fragment of a divine soul has been implanted inside him. He must drink divine blood every half-month to stay alive, or the power of faith will tear him apart!
His only hope is to gather the twelve divine relics scattered by Hodr and help the god reclaim the throne…
But Jiang He soon discovers that Hodr may be trying to take over his body!
Skadi's amnesia hides a plot by Odin!
The Goodluck Trading Company is using “gods” to generate electricity!
And this “unbeliever” may be the key to Ragnarok!
“Beware the daylight!”
“Don't make a sound… The pursuers are here!”
“Run! Baldr is coming!”
On the road to becoming a god against his will, Jiang He has just one rule:
“Books must be lined up, candles must be straight, and even the gods… have to follow my rules!”
