An Evil God? How Many Armies Does It Have?

[Cthulhu + war + magic + steely machinery]

Also known as: “I’m a Walking Calamity on the Battlefield, and from the Start I Sacrificed My Right Eye!”

Transmigrate across the Devil’s Sea? A battleship turned into a coffin?

At fourteen, I stowed away aboard a death ship and was stunned: sea monsters swallowed people whole, my comrades turned into walking corpses, and even the damn sky had eyes staring at me!

That’s because this body of mine is a walking “monster lure”!

After plunging into the hellish acid sea, I went straight into cheat mode!

•

Mutated right eye: I sacrificed it to an ancient god of the abyss and gained the “Maw Mirror” eye, which can see the future and sense all things! The price? Just the whispers in my ears slowly driving me mad…

•

Runes carved into my bones: Flesh for paper, bone for brush! I make magic fire with my own hands and burn through haunted forests. Who cares about humanity’s taboos? Staying alive is what matters!

•

Corpse control: A fallen officer turned into a puppet? I’ll take that! I’m an army of one, sending them wherever I point and making the monsters of another world howl for their fathers!

Half a year later, I crawl back to the world of the living. The fleet is in ruins, and a conspiracy has come to light.

A noble prince sees me as a weapon. “Go! Hunt down the enemy’s sorcerer!”

I grin, the abyss swirling in my pitch-black right eye.

“Sure, but guess what?”

“The fleet spy you put a bounty on, the Haige infiltrator, and even the mastermind behind the fleet’s destruction…”

“They’re all me!”
