Veteran player Su Wen finally managed to transmigrate after spending three days grinding through every last achievement in the epic masterpiece Abyss of the Dying.
With eager anticipation for the dark elf proprietress, the older sister of a paladin captain, the tsundere vampire progenitor, and countless options for "intimate" encounters, he opened his eyes, only to find himself lying on a cultists' altar, with bloodstains beneath him that hadn't yet dried.
Worse still, the summoning seemed to have "succeeded": they mistook him for a descending evil god.
An evil god from the start? With his "all-knowing" grasp of the game's mechanics, Su Wen figured it would be fine.
After breaking free from his prison, he was bound to a tsundere saintess who hated him to the bone but had no choice but to travel with him. Familiar characters, familiar tropes. He could already see a broad road lined with rosy choices, beckoning him warmly.
But as they traveled together and struggled to survive, the world he had thought was filled with "romantic options" revealed a far more sinister and terrifying truth. Indulgences, original sin, noble privilege, a brutal order cloaked in holiness...
"The Church I remember wasn't supposed to be like this! The knights I remember weren't supposed to be like this!"
His fantasies shattered completely. Only the suffering and injustice before his eyes were real. If the world was this rotten, then let the world burn!
