Synopsis

[Slow-paced + Ensemble Cast + Urban + Behind the Scenes + Experiments on Human Nature + System + Nonhuman Protagonist] During a psychic livestream watched by a million-follower influencer, a bizarre writing brush publicly exposed an affair between a best friend and her boyfriend, then uncovered a colleague's embezzlement! The whole internet erupted, human nature was laid bare, and I, the one who set it all in motion, was just a raven perched on a utility pole across the street. That's right, I died, then gained eternal life in a nonhuman form. I lost my human identity, but gained godlike powers: the [Artifact Creation and Ability Editing System]. I scatter superpowers and miraculous artifacts at random across this suffocating concrete jungle, then watch humanity's performance with keen interest. Are you struggling to breathe under the weight of your mortgage, with your hard-earned money from the 996 grind never enough for a down payment? Have you been betrayed, with nothing to do but fall apart alone in the dead of night? Are you standing at the edge of 35, watching younger blood take your place? Now, a "miracle" that can upend your fate has fallen from the sky. It might be a brush that reveals the truth, a coin that decides your luck, or a superpower that lets you stop being ordinary. I don't save anyone. I simply put a knife in your hand. Human nature can't withstand a test? Then I'll put it to the test myself. Will you keep being a lamb led to the slaughter, or take the "key" I've given you and flip over this unfair table? Come on, make your choice. I am the Feather of Calamity, the Reaper of Dusk, the creator perched on a utility pole... I look forward to watching you perform the grandest spectacle of destruction and rebirth for me.

The Protagonist Is Nonhuman, Does Not Fawn Over Humans, Is Not a Monkey or Ape, and Does Not Become Human

Looking for books like Seer: The Three Holy Spirit Phantoms. Anything goes, dragons, machines, and so on. No monkeys or apes, no turning human later, and no outside incarnations. Especially no monkeys or apes, and no turning human. I can reluctantly accept other things, and I might tolerate turning human later on, too.

I want the protagonist to get a concept-level cheat, like Gangplank’s Q, Veigar’s passive, or the effect of Grasp of the Undying. There’s no need to deliberately hold back the protagonist’s powers.
