The world is corrupted.
Pollution spreads from an unknowable realm across the entire world.
Unfathomable beings shriek in the endless depths of space, their greedy gazes licking at this new world, so full of life.
With the Book of Puppets in his hands, Shi Jin can see the evolutionary trees formed by all things under the influence of this pollution.
He gains the talent [Puppet], seemingly false yet truly real, severing cause and effect. Every puppet can see the evolutionary tree and act as a vanguard, cutting a path through the brambles.
He gains the talent [Ritual], refining all things and mastering the laws. He can create rituals, refine artifacts, and practice techniques.
He gains the talents [Between Doors], [Void], and [Origin].
He cultivates his talents and builds the Puppet Society.
Before anyone realizes it, the Puppet Society has become the hidden ruler of the world.
It controls countless puppets and drives the world's transformation.
Everyone believes the Puppet Society is behind the pollution, cursing and hating it in secret.
But when those grotesque, terrifying polluted creatures finally break free of reality's restraints and pour into the world in an endless tide, people are astonished to discover this:
This fragile, shattered, despair-inducing world has quietly begun anew.
Is there anyone? Cheers to the author.
