I, Lin Yi, codename "Collector," have the ability to steal other people's powers. Yours are mine, and mine are still mine.
I joined a legitimate organization called "Abyss," which the whole world considers evil, and spend every day taking the blame for the real villains, the "Heart Eaters." They kill and set fires, and I take the blame. They infiltrate the government, and I get cursed out. They even put my photo front and center on their wanted posters.
No matter. I'm a pretty magnanimous guy.
After all, I'm destined to become the god of a new world. Why would I bother arguing with a bunch of mortals?
Until I discovered that the "Open the Gate" plan being set in motion by the Heart Eaters requires the sacrifice of thirty-six living people. And I'm the "master key" that will activate the ritual.
They want me to be the sacrifice.
That's hilarious.
I don't even want to treat anyone to breakfast, and they expect me to sacrifice myself?
Ready to welcome your "god"? Just so you know, though, my appearance fee is steep.
