Author: Should I Write?

Synopsis

No romance; secret identities; identities never exposed; eerie horror; children of destiny; immersive role-playing

When a pale bare foot, tattooed with a black cross, stepped onto the gilded tiles, playful madness spread through Motelio’s eyes.

At the request of a kitten, he descended upon a small world on the brink of collapse.

His goal? To harvest the most intense and twisted emotional energy from the “children of destiny” favored by the world.

“You’ve come to the right person,” he chuckled, his voice filled with neurotic delight. “After all... I’m an artist with multiple personalities, and an expert at ‘immersive role-playing.’”

And so the curtain rose on a stage of eerie horrors:

[Rule Horror], Fog

[Infinite Flow], Blood-Soaked Instances

[Cthulhu Mythos], The Edge of the Abyss

No one knew that all these characters, whether deranged, compassionate, or uncanny, shared the same pair of playful eyes.

Motelio moved gracefully through the web of personalities, like the most demanding director, precisely feeding his protagonists carefully written “scripts”: bloodstained tales of betrayal, despair, redemption, and false hope.

Watching the children of destiny grow confused, suffer, grieve, and feel moved by the horrors and mysteries he devised... Watching the astronomical emotional energy flood the backstage feed, the mastermind narrowed his eyes with delight.

“Ah, my dear children of destiny... You’re getting more and more generous.”

Shh... The show is about to begin.

Looking for a Novel Where the Male Lead Plays Various Secret Identities, and They Clash with Each Other! Please!

Please note: no female lead and no harem. I can't stand forced, cringe-worthy showing off. The male lead shouldn't be a saintly pushover. He can be the sort who stirs up trouble and expertly plays the field, or someone who isn't very capable himself but whose secret identity is mistaken for someone powerful.

Looking for Addictive Novels You Can Stay Up All Night Reading

Looking for books similar to Transmigrated as a Supporting Female Character, but Became Everyone's Favorite (Light Fills the Small World). I've pretty much lost interest in novels. Are there any stories where the female lead is doted on by everyone, and is innocent without being a naive fool? Stories about raising kids are fine too.
