An alternate-universe The Mysterious Files of Dodo fanfiction
All glory to the original, all OOC is mine.
That day, the world was torn apart by “delusion.”
All of humanity gained the ability to turn imagination into reality. Some became giants and declared themselves gods; some created monsters and became their puppets; others became trapped in dreams of their own making, never to wake. Skyscrapers turned into twisted forests, streets ran with glowing blood, and the sky was covered in cracked scars.
And amid all this madness, five people were the only exceptions.
Mo Duoduo, Yao Tingting, Hu Sha, and Fu You, four ordinary middle schoolers, and Charlie, a gentlemanly dog in a little blue suit. They were the only “powerless” people left in the world. While everyone else lost themselves in the raging flood of delusion, only they could still see things as they truly were.
But the price of truth is often the heaviest of all.
Tang Xiaoyi, the adventure team's spiritual leader, became a black dragon bent on destroying everything when his delusions spiraled out of control. With his dying breath, he entrusted his final mission to the children: “The source of delusion lies in the deepest part of the Fantasy Library. Find the book that records the truth of the world. You're the only ones who can touch it.”
Carrying out Tang Xiaoyi's final wish, the five powerless adventurers set off across the ruins of the apocalypse. They meet Su Xiao, a girl who has lost her younger sister; Chen Mo, an old friend of Tang Xiaoyi; children trapped in their delusions; and an old man guarding a building that doesn't exist... Every encounter is a story about truth...
