Reboot: Taking Control of the World After Being Sacrificed

[Secret identities + behind-the-scenes scheming + System + power fantasy + no romance]

Spirit Corrosion descends, and the Awakened fight back. I’m an auxiliary staffer, and the captain shoves me to the front lines to die.

One second before my death, a voice rings in my mind: “Secret Identity Acting System activated. Would you like to summon the character card, Du’e?”

I said yes.

Three seconds later, a man in a bronze mask cut through everything.

The captain falls to his knees, trembling. “Y-You summoned the S-Class Awakened who disappeared thirty years ago?”

I smile. “Him? He’s just the first card in my hand.”

Later, the whole world is searching for “Du’e,” “Mo Ya,” “Dreamweaver,” and “Kui.” They’re all my secret identities. The Special Affairs Bureau is tearing its hair out trying to investigate these “hidden big shots.” After spending three months in the archives, Su Mu reaches a conclusion:

“There must be someone controlling all of them.”

I look at the report she submits and take a sip of tea.

She’s right. But she’ll never find out who it is...

Because that controller is being investigated by his own secret identities.

Who, then, is playing the role of “Shen Ye”?
