Man-Made Mysteries: I Created Global UMAs

[Behind-the-Scenes] + [Early Survival] + [Mystery] + [Eerie Revival] + [No Female Lead] + [Urban Legends]

Wu Xin wakes up naked and stranded in the mountains of West Virginia in a parallel world.

With no ID and no past, he has appeared out of nowhere. If the police catch him, he’ll never get the chance to turn his life around.

In his darkest hour, the rules of the world surge into his mind: collective belief can turn lies into reality.

An illusion conjured from nothing can become a real cryptid if a hundred people witness it.

With a tarpaulin and two reflective stickers, he creates the first pair of red eyes in the forest. Then he stokes the town’s rumors until the story of the Mothman’s return sweeps through the abandoned mining town.

A meticulous sheriff follows every clue in his investigation.

A thrill-seeking influencer carries filming equipment into the mountains, desperate to capture footage of the monster.

The elderly residents are haunted by memories buried for sixty years.

New, unknown creatures keep appearing around the world: giant swamp crocodiles, snowfield yetis, deep-sea serpents…

Everyone rushes to the forests, lakes, and wastelands, frantically searching for the eerie creatures of legend.

They raise cameras, shoulder hunting rifles, and mobilize the police, turning their full attention to monsters that do not exist.

No one knows that the dark red eyes haunting them night after night, the shadows wandering the wasteland, and the colossal beasts lurking in the deep sea are all decoys Wu Xin has put out.

He hides behind a rocky cliff deep in the mountains, controlling the eerie creatures spread across the globe and using humanity’s fear to conceal his existence.

Monsters never need to attack people. The human heart is the perfect prison.
