When Li Guanqi woke up, he found himself bound to an altar of white bones, surrounded by a group of black-robed lunatics preparing to sacrifice him to an evil god called the Moon of a Thousand Faces.
The System arrived late.
[Welcome to the Moon of a Thousand Faces Simulator]
[Current scenario: The Path to Immortality of the Blood-Black Ancient Monster]
[Simulation begins,]
Using the simulator to reload, foresee the future, and draw traits, Li Guanqi fought his way off the altar and entered a sect, gradually finding his footing in a cultivation world that devoured the weak.
But little by little, he realized something was wrong.
Every use of the simulator raised his “Dao Corruption” value. The contamination seeped into his very bones, and he began seeing things he should never have seen: worms writhing in the spiritual energy, a reflection in the mirror smiling at him, and a moon in the sky covered in human faces.
More unsettling still, every scenario he simulated pointed toward the same buried, ancient truth. When the Moon Servants came to him, they bowed respectfully and said something that sent a chill down his spine:
“You have been lost for far too long. We have been waiting for you to come home.”
