[Ensemble cast, no romance, an irresistible protagonist, and passionate battles]
A ruthless workaholic assassin in my past life, I just want to lie flat in this one.
A white-haired god visits my dreams every night, saying I’m the hope of the world. My immediate response: “Thanks, but no thanks.”
That is, until the supernatural horrors came for those around me and my childhood friend’s life hung in the balance. I promptly changed my tune: “I want to awaken an ability!”
I slay horrors with a tree branch, and the organization says I’ve got potential. “Young man, want to join us and protect the world?”
I politely turn them down. “No, thank you.”
The horrors won’t leave me alone, the world is counting on me to protect it, and a god is living inside me...
I just want to be an ordinary person. Is that really so hard?!
With no other choice, I return to my old line of work and form the strongest team around: a former assassin captain whose insatiable curiosity keeps getting him implicated in things; a deputy captain with a mind so sharp he can outthink anyone but can never predict my next move; an elegant young heir to a powerful conglomerate who can control shadows; a cold, aloof swordsman who can cut through anything; a smiling fox whose thoughts are impossible to read; a solitary girl with outrageous combat strength who just wants to be left alone; and... a little ray of sunshine who’s always coming up with unexpected “surprises.”
When the horrors descend, I silently unfold my domain.
“I decide the rules here!”
Um, I've finished reading the latest updates. Here's my summary: it's a bit simplistic but still okay. The premise is good, the writing could be improved, and the world-building is decent, though not very expansive. Here are some warnings: 1. The main character has no romantic relationship or ambiguous feelings; I don't know about the others.
I'm an idiot. I almost never post book reviews, but this novel is really good, at least for me personally. I don't know how others feel, but it's a great read. It's an ensemble piece, and everyone in it is wonderful. Hmm... I suggest you practice your writing more. Some parts might feel a bit stiff, but I believe it will improve. I hope the author doesn't suddenly abandon the story halfway through and quit 🥺
Dear author, I want to read every single one of your books! 😏
