Back in My Hometown, Killing It with Cthulhu [Lord of the Mysteries]

■ Lofu: The Great One handles the killing. I handle the cheering.

■ Goals: 1. May the Great Meow reign for a thousand generations and return home in glory! 2. Save people!

○ A reader who only knows the story from online transmigrates, so this novel could also be called "Is This Fanfic Even Canon?"

■ Let's begin: Lord of the Mysteries is a story with pregnancy, genderbending, cross-dressing, role-playing, mind control... but its values are totally wholesome, and it follows the protagonist as he becomes a god in three years and an Outer Deity in five. Here's some fan-created content for you!

□ Lofu: I believe Lord of the Mysteries is a heartwarming story ^▽^

□ Lofu: What do you mean the boss delivered himself right to my doorstep?

■ Klein: I've been wondering that myself :)

-- Thanks for asking. I just saw fresh, wriggling brain matter in the mirror, then suddenly heard a girl's voice (gasp!), and thought the place was haunted. I didn't realize my body was so popular now, with two souls trying to squeeze into one body.

Lofu: No, I was just asleep!

After falling asleep, she wakes up in another world. The other person looks exactly like the protagonist, but he denies it and says, "You and one of my colleagues have a lot to talk about."

"The colleague who's always rolling forward?"

"Ahem. Yes, him."

The protagonist Klein has a cheat ability, but he's ridiculously cautious. Lofu seriously suspects he's trying to compete with the Cautious Hero for the championship title. He's a truly atypical protagonist from a web novel!

Lofu: That's right, I'm an online-only Lord of the Mysteries reader. Apart from "Praise the Fool," all I can do is babble...

Lofu: It's something like this (gestures)

○ World A (college student Lofu, who pulls off a miracle three days before finals)

Lofu: Lord of the Mysteries? Wow, so much good stuff to read. I'll check it out after finals... The exam's in three days, so I'll just read a little first (I've gotten greedy!)

□ Modern Lord of the Mysteries (high school girl)

Lofu: I have to take the college entrance exam too? (Barely alive)

■ Lord of the Mysteries alternate world (Klein, one corpse, two lives)

Lofu: I'm supposed to be the old man in the protagonist's ring? Seriously?

The online-only reader knows nothing about the plot, so she can only feel her way across the river using Klein's tentacles.

Lofu: But he's a web novel protagonist, and he even becomes a god (the Fool) in the end. Isn't this a power fantasy? Now I feel confident!

Megose: :)

Lofu: ...Don't come any closer!

□ Not a lore expert, just a fan of the novel. I didn't really understand the setting all that well, but I got stabbed by the story over and over. Ah, that metallic taste, crunchy and sharp as biting into shards, is right up my alley (?)

□ Haven't read the second book (the plot doesn't involve it), with plenty of original ideas

□ I've saved everyone who could be saved, going all out with her hometown as the unit. Easy reading. There are too few fanfics, and this one's powered by love, so please be kind (flowers for you!)

Theme: Even after transmigrating, you still have to study hard!
