Sacrificed from the Start, I Tamed the Witch Instead

[Villain] [Harem] [Lighthearted Comedy] [Western Fantasy] [System] [Cult Leader] [Sword and Sorcery] Well, would you look at that? He transmigrates and gets tied to an altar from the start. What a great welcome! Cheng Mo was an ordinary overworked office drone. He’d been thinking of switching worlds to escape the 996 grind and live a lazy, ordinary life. But the “Lightless Flame” inside him didn’t give him the chance. It not only blew up the obsidian altar, but also burned the world’s false peace to the ground. Then all kinds of people started showing up at his door: a fallen Saintess down on her luck, an Ice Witch carrying a blood feud, a proud elf knight, and a dragon princess who knew nothing about the world. Cheng Mo never wanted to rule the world, but the Holy Church kept chasing him down to kill him. Before long, he was forced to become the last safe haven for every nonhuman race and every oppressed person. But just as Cheng Mo gathered a band of allies and was about to charge straight into the Holy City, the enormous lie this world had concealed for over a thousand years could no longer stay hidden... Now the whole mess was laid bare before him. On one side was a future bought with the sacrifice of all humanity’s freedom and souls, leaving them to cling to life; on the other was an abyss where one moment’s carelessness could see them swallowed by the Dark Tide. If there’s no way to have it both ways, then he won’t choose either! Cheng Mo decided to burn away the “Lightless Flame,” which no will could ever control. He had no intention of becoming some sacrificial savior. He only wanted to tear apart this hypocritical divine kingdom and give every living person back the right to choose their own fate!!!
