How Investigators Can Become Gods in a Lovecraftian Apocalypse

‘Lovecraftian Apocalypse’ + ‘No Mindless Protagonist’ + ‘Sound Values’ + ‘Legendary Investigator’ + ‘Slow Burn’ + ‘Mutational Evolution’ The hallucinations began after Grandpa died. The muttering never stops in my ears. The date “March 15,” along with a wealth of forbidden knowledge that should never have been mine, nearly drove Lin Ling insane. The investigator’s ID that appeared out of nowhere seemed to remind him that all of this was real. Then, on March 15, the whispers heard by everyone around the world confirmed his suspicions. He woke once more, but the familiar world was gone. Before him lay a post-apocalyptic wasteland era: Year 1, Month 1, Day 1. Mother Goddess spawn, serpent people, Deep Ones, skin thieves... Monsters found only in blasphemous legends now roamed the world. This was no game, and there would be no second chances. Lin Ling had to keep his mind absolutely clear on the brink of madness and death as he fought to survive. Relying on forbidden knowledge, he struggles to stay alive in this apocalypse, step by step embarking on the path to godhood. Until one day, he suddenly realizes that there may be more to his grandfather’s death than meets the eye.
