Jiang Tao was an orphan. Ever since he was little, he could see strange things. They didn't affect his life, but they did distract him now and then.
He once visited a temple, where the abbot felt his head and sighed, "What a promising child, with such spiritual energy."
Jiang Tao only saw the abbot's eyes gleaming as he thought, "What a nice, round noggin." After making an online incense offering, he turned and ran without hesitation. Thanks, but I still need my hair.
Think this kind of constitution would make Jiang Tao timid and fearful?
Wrong.
Instead, it made him bolder. He tried everything: horror movies, horror-themed adventures, horror games. To borrow a line from a movie, he had the perfect constitution for getting himself killed first.
Then, while playing an eerie-world tabletop role-playing game online, he transmigrated.
He brought along a dice-based golden finger, leaving everything to luck and making for a gaming experience that could be godlike one moment and disastrous the next.
Jiang Tao: I can't even, seriously. But brave Grape will never give in!
Bad news: The dice say the only weapon at hand is the wooden shoe you really can't stand.
Good news: You rolled a critical success on damage. You'll rampage everywhere with your shoe!
As the "bride" being sacrificed to the mountain god in a horror event, Jiang Tao grabbed his shoe and bolted through the crowd while it was thin, then tumbled and scrambled all the way to halfway down the mountain.
He looked up and saw a white-haired, red-eyed man in a black uniform and black gloves, leaning against an off-road vehicle and smiling thoughtfully at him.
Holy crap, white hair! Holy crap, a handsome guy! Holy crap, a uniform, I'm saved! Holy crap, is he a rabbit? Why does he have red eyes? Holy crap, this backward world actually has cars?!
After a string of shocked thoughts, Jiang Tao, who could no longer run, threw caution to the wind and rolled and scrambled over to the cute guy in uniform to ask for help. He successfully rolled the dice and got... a critical success!
Before Jiang Tao could breathe a sigh of relief, a cold hand covered his face. From the corner of his eye, he caught the line that flashed across the dice: You have attracted Its attention.
Jiang Tao: ?

In this strange world overrun by gods and ghosts, the busy, leisurely city is only a facade. The gods are unlike those in traditional legends. They have awakened and become involved in this world, and while eradicating anomalies, they can easily become dangerous anomalies themselves.
Unless they find their own "sheath." Although they are controlled by their sheaths, they also pour all their obsessive, inhuman emotions into them. If you fall in love with a god, be prepared.
"Obsessive and inhuman...? You're joking, right?"
By then, Jiang Tao had been assigned by the government to live with Jie He. He looked hesitantly at the guide to the gods, then at the white-haired big shot beside him.
"Oh, come on, of course it's..." The young man pressed Jiang Tao into a corner, sliding his hand under the hem of his T-shirt, his smile bright and playful. "A joke."
Haha, no, it wasn't a joke. Divine power is a web, darling. No matter how thrilling things get later, you won't be able to escape.
#Is there something wrong with us all being into white-haired guys?#
#Tell us more about thrilling#
#How a critical failure of mine shocked my god seme and his coworkers#
#So tragic! The new world turned even the gods into wage slaves!#
(A dangerous, obsessive god seme with a charming smile and an official post x a cute, easygoing uke who could roll either a divine success or a disastrous failure and would die if he didn't mess around)
