The uncanny is rising, and the Divine Domain has descended. The 197 countries of the world have been forced into a deadly game that will decide their survival. One Chosen One is randomly selected from each country to enter a supernatural scenario. Victory brings prosperity and resources made real; defeat means the country is ruined and disasters descend.
The Dragon Nation has lost three rounds in a row, its resources depleted, while an S-rank disaster, the Scarlet Plague, hangs over its head. Just as the entire nation gives in to despair, the System randomly selects its Chosen One: Jiang Liu, a former criminal investigation consultant with hyperthymesia, currently a patient at Jiangcheng Psychiatric Hospital.
“They picked a lunatic? The Dragon Nation is doomed this time!”
“The Cherry Blossom Nation has a special forces soldier, the Eagle Nation has an FBI agent, and we’ve got a patient who uses a toothbrush as a weapon?”
Faced with deadly rules that defy comprehension and attacks from rival contestants, Jiang Liu only smiles.
“Rules? They’re just another kind of code to crack.”
From the red-clad neighbor in The Happy Apartments to the faceless nurse in The Hospital of Certain Death, Jiang Liu stands shoulder to shoulder with the gods despite being only human. With the calmest logic, he tears apart the maddest horrors; with the sharpest reason, he outmaneuvers the most treacherous hearts.
While the whole world is afraid, he is thinking.
While every other contestant is running for their life, he is hunting.
This is the story of a madman who leads the Dragon Nation to the top of the pantheon.
