   He was not a puppet from his past life, but an abandoned infant born with a completely new soul. Even with an innate lack of emotion, even facing the ultimate rule of cosmic reincarnation, he was driven by the obsession of "not wanting to disappear," striving to complete his emotions, break free from reincarnation, and disrupt the balance of the heavens. There are no plot points that forcefully reduce his intelligence; every step of his growth is logically consistent, vividly portraying the difficulty of "transcendence" and the protagonist's resilience.

    Reader note

    My new book, a traditional fantasy, not a simplistic novel. The protagonist transforms into a mouse, gains various abilities from a rat demon, refines demons, and leads a group of henchmen to protect him. It's a traditional suspenseful fantasy with a touch of mystery, not too dark, and not as ethereal as some otherworldly fantasy novels. A gray-furred mouse swaggers around the city.
