[Everyone Struggles to Survive + Cthulhu + No Goody-Two-Shoes]
A global mist descends, dragging everyone into a survival game.
While others chop trees to build wooden cabins, I build fortresses out of corpses.
While others kill monsters for gear, I eat monsters to make progress.
While others fear going insane from losing SAN, the lower my SAN gets, the stronger I become.
Gu Chen opens his eyes and finds that he has awakened something far from an ordinary talent: [Abyssal Sequence: Crawling Hunger].
Other people's Systems: Warning! Your SAN is dangerously low! Find a way to regain your sanity!
His System: Congratulations! Your SAN has been depleted! You have entered the Realm of Madness. Your combat power has doubled!
What others see: a pile of rotten, stinking chunks of flesh.
What he sees: high-energy ingredients that can make him evolve if he chews them up.
While everyone else is still fighting over a single piece of wood, Gu Chen has already used living vines and mutated bones to build a breathing, feeding, actively hunting furnace of flesh.
When S-rank prodigies form an alliance and come to eliminate him as a heretic, carrying their “purifying artifact” aloft,
Gu Chen merely smiles.
Then he willingly sacrifices his sanity.
That day, everyone saw something they were never meant to see
His body transformed into an indescribable amalgamation of nightmares. Tens of thousands of eyes burst open across his flesh, each pupil reflecting a blue planet on the verge of shattering.
The so-called purifying artifact melted the instant it touched him.
The S-rank prodigy who styled himself humanity's leader didn't flee. He fell to his knees, tearing at his own skin and laughing at the sky as if finally liberated.
Gu Chen didn't save the world.
He simply turned it into his garden.
