Purgatory: Beyond the Gap Gate

[Primarily based on Limbus Company] [Lots of elements from the Project Moon trilogy] [The protagonist is an original Abnormality. The author loves writing Abnormalities, and there are lots of Abnormality stories] [Mostly follows the original, with existing inspirations and original plotlines] [Original characters + original plot] [I'll try to keep the angst to a minimum, but there will still be some. Can a few lingering regrets be put to rest? Some can't be saved, unfortunately; I can't undermine the characters' own stories] [This is my first time writing power levels, so there may be problems. Please bear with me, and thank you very much. Readers are welcome to point them out] This book is also called I Became the River's Only Public Well: The Story of a Jade-Eyed Abnormality Living in the City.

If one's very existence is a mistake, how can a sinner who has committed such a crime ever be redeemed?

Among countless possibilities, he searches.

A voice from the stars is carried by the river, and humanity lends it radiance. Yet in the end, he is not a complete person. The obsession that drives him to seek answers makes him what he is, but gives him no meaning.

Until he set out on a journey.

This journey to hell has welcomed its fourteenth penitent. What kind of ending will it write for his story?

(The protagonist's identity is in the prologue of Chapter 2.) (Inspired by Gide's Strait Is the Gate and Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror.) (Not a power fantasy; a story of growth. It follows the source material but has original elements.) (I hope readers who enjoy it will chat with the author and leave a reply to give me the confidence to keep writing.) (Is there OOC? Probably.) (More author notes are in Chapter 1.) (The author occasionally drops hand-drawn doodles of the protagonist and other characters, since the author is into original characters.)
