Question: If you transmigrate to another world overrun by monsters and filled with heroes, and awaken the hidden class “Puppeteer,” what should you do first?
Li Xiang's answer isn't to make a name for himself or slay gods to prove his Dao.
He gets a job organizing books at a bookstore. The pay is 1,200 copper coins a month, with lodging included but no meals.
His coworkers think of him as an ordinary, harmless person.
No one knows his only skill is making people.
Making a “living person” with flesh and blood, an independent personality, and absolute loyalty.
The first person he made now runs a teahouse in the gray zone, chatting every day with people from all walks of life while gathering every bit of news about the world for Li Xiang.
The second has infiltrated the Sword of Sacred Judgment, one of humanity's most powerful organizations. The deputy inquisitor has personally received her and calls her “the Chosen Daughter of God.”
As for Li Xiang, his boss is giving him a verbal commendation for cleaning the bookshelves too well.
This is a story about patience, careful planning, and information advantages.
The protagonist doesn't fight. He just writes everyone's scripts from corners no one can see.
Slow burn. Behind the scenes. A growing protagonist. When the first puppet opens its eyes, the pieces finally begin to move.
Very good. Come on, author.
