I Peer Into the Unnameable at the End of the World

[Reborn + Apocalypse + Lovecraftian + Long Road to Godhood + Ensemble Cast + Slow-Burn]

Reborn on the day before the apocalypse, Yang En knew he had only two choices: struggle like an insect for five years and die miserably, just as he had in his previous life, or... embrace madness.

He chose the latter.

Using the Book of the Watcher, which recorded forbidden true names, he deliberately called out to an indescribable being in exchange for eyes that could see the truth of the world.

The more he saw, the more “gazes” turned back toward him.

Why did the eerie statue in the city center offer shelter? And what price did it demand?

As the survivors worshipped the statue like a god, only Yang En knew what terrifying truth writhed beneath its radiance.

This is the story of someone who, in an age of destruction, gambles his sanity to spy on the gods and steal their power, eventually rising from a pawn to become a player.

Also known as: “Gods Through the Apocalypse's Eyes,” “You Said You'd Only Look, So How Did You Become a God?” and “This Protagonist Is Overpowered, Yet So Hopelessly Mad.”
