[Decisive and Ruthless] [Not Invincible] [Machiavellian]
Su Chen used to work in operations at an internet company. At thirty-one, he rented a place in an urban village, and his greatest talent was silently memorizing his coworkers' weaknesses during meetings.
After transmigrating as the original Pennywise from It, his human morality is gradually stripped away by the instincts of an ancient predator. It isn't a sudden transformation, but a slow, irreversible seep, like ice water soaking into cotton. He awakens the [Primordial Fear Devourer] ability, absorbing the fear of intelligent beings and turning it into source energy. Fear comes in different grades: the anxiety of politicians in power far surpasses the screams of commoners, while the despair of the elite class collapsing is the finest delicacy of all.
Starting in the sewers of Derry, Su Chen wanders through the horror worlds of the myriad realms in the guise of a playful, gentle clown. He subdues Freddy and turns him into a dream-harvesting tool, transforms Mary Shaw's dolls into fear collectors, takes over Jigsaw's game rules, and manipulates human purges to screen for high-purity targets. Reincarnators, native transmigrators, and thrill-seekers of the myriad realms: all those who fancy themselves master players ultimately become nourishment on the board.
This is not a revenge story. It is the story of a cold-blooded capitalist building a monopolistic empire in the fear market. Even as he sits atop the myriad realms, he still retains one human habit: lightly tapping his fingertips on the armrest. Just like he used to while waiting for a program to compile.
