The world is one big ramshackle operation, the gods are picky spectators, and humanity is expendable material that can be used up at any moment. Want to survive? Then put on a good show.
But Lu Wuwei is different. He's a lunatic who only knows how to wreck the stage.
A monster raises a pen that can erase you from existence? Lu Wuwei says, “I bet your gun isn't loaded... No, wait, I bet your pen has no ink.”
Despair descends, and everyone waits to die? Lu Wuwei says, “Relax. I just added a ‘deus ex machina’ scene for myself.”
As long as you fool everyone, a lie becomes the truth. This is the story of a con man who talks the gods into knots in an apocalyptic wasteland.
