I Became a Legendary Investigator Through Pollution Immunity

[A seemingly wealthy heir who is actually a summoned Outer God as the gong X a contamination-immune, sanity-locked, mentally delightful shou] As an orphan, Gu Ke worked himself to the bone in China before earning the chance to study abroad at Miskatonic University on a government scholarship. But because of his unusual immunity to contamination, he was conscripted and forced to become a temporary investigator for the North American Special Cases Bureau. Gu Ke: “I’m tired. Let North America be destroyed.” But Chinese people who refuse to give up can’t even manage to lie down and do nothing, let alone a government-sponsored student who went abroad on a national scholarship. So in the Special Cases Bureau’s files, the profile of legendary investigator Gu Ke reads as follows: This international student from China is truly remarkable. He once ventured alone onto an island overrun by contaminated entities, extracted the contamination core intact, and returned whole, unharmed, and in sound health. He also faced an Old God and retained his sanity, clearly describing and recording everything he saw and heard… He hasn’t gone on many missions, but he’s made plenty of legends, often uncovering discoveries that astonish both Miskatonic University and the Bureau. P.S. We must do everything we can to keep him. … Now in his fifth year as a doctoral student, Gu Ke has to see a psychologist in Gotham regularly. “My boyfriend and I have a very good relationship, but when we have sex, especially when he penetrates me, I often can’t help throwing up. It’s causing both of us a lot of distress.” Sitting across from Gotham’s best therapist, Gu Ke repeats this for the tenth time. “Why? Because I can always smell those… things from work on him. They make me feel awful. But he really is human. He’s someone I’ve known since we were children. He can’t possibly be… one of those things.” “But the worst part is that, the last time I worked at an abandoned hotel deep in the mountains, I found an oil painting in the lobby. The person in it looked exactly like my boyfriend… But that hotel has been abandoned since the 1970s. No one has been inside for over fifty years… And everyone on the team insists it was just an empty frame.” “Based on all the signs, work must be affecting me and making me paranoid. I know that’s not uncommon in our line of work, but I still hope you can give me some advice so I can overcome this psychological barrier and make up with my boyfriend.” “After all, I came here for him. I really love him, and I don’t want to leave him at all.” “What? You want to know what I do for work? I’m sorry, but I’m bound by a confidentiality agreement and can’t disclose the details. But I can assure you that, aside from some overlap with your profession, my work only requires me to visit a few bloody crime scenes. It won’t cause me any harm.” · 1v1, both leads are sexually inexperienced · Written in third person · Lovecraftian horror, fictional North America · Not recommended as reading material during meals · Keep an eye on your sanity level while reading · Azathoth is asleep the whole time and has nothing to do with the protagonist · The Evil Gods have no moral compass.
