[The Fourth Calamity] + [Mastermind Behind the Scenes] + [Full-Dive Online Game]
This is a hopeless world where power is poison and the gods are cages.
From the start, Elowen has nothing but a dilapidated temple and a scrawny little believer named Lia.
But she has the strongest followers of all: terrifying, upright apes called players!
Upon her divine throne, she gazes coolly from the corners of her eyes and speaks in cryptic revelations. She's the players' favorite NPC.
Behind the screen, she spins promises with ease and secretly tweaks the game, a heartless developer who exploits players until they're bald.
Rebuild the statue: divine power resonates more strongly, advancing her to the supreme divine throne!
Develop the town: players haul bricks and churn out soldiers, increasing the town's defenses a hundredfold and turning it into an iron fortress!
Distorted Law Zone: it becomes a natural dungeon, increasing the drop rate for high-level supernatural materials tenfold!
Faced with eight career paths that can make people mutate, the players go completely wild:
"No gear? Pick up a brick off the ground and you can still bash a knight's head in!"
"Fail your advancement and turn into a tentacled monster? That's so cool! It's like an ultra-rare, weird-looking skin!"
By the time the eight gods finally take notice of this weak ninth god, Elowen has already led a million max-level players to raze their lairs:
"Your laws are obsolete. From now on, The Fourth Calamity takes over the whole world!"
