[System] Divine Beauty

Blurb One:

"He has no heart."

"He is poison."

"He is the reincarnation of a siren."

"Every inch of his skin is a seductive poppy."

-

You cannot see the bones buried beneath the extravagant dynasty through the thick red cinnabar painted over the reliefs on Palenque's ruins,

just as you cannot see through his deep black eyes, where light and shadow shift like snakes and scorpions, to know his heart.

-

"O traveler from afar,

Do not hold back your passionate love,

Offer it to the gods,

So that this utterly sincere devotion,

Amid the alternating night and day,

-May turn to ashes"

-

Blurb Two:

'God says you are the wellspring of sin.'

-Tsk. Meddlesome gods are the worst.

'You hold everyone in the palm of your hand.'

-Huh, have I been found out?

'But in the end, you're still the shou.'

"Shh." The boy tilted his head, his dark eyes reflecting day and night, and smiled mysteriously, lovely as a lush flower.

"I play the game with the world as my board, but I'm not the one moving the pieces." The dark-eyed boy broke into a radiant smile, his lips parting in a wicked grin. "I'm the one who sets the questions-the Judge."

P.S. In short, it's a story about a shou who makes a mess of everything while controlling the whole game from behind the scenes. *shrugs*

In a word: With the world as my board, I am the Judge.

1. Volumes One and Two (early story, amnesia):

Everyone's favorite. Emperor. Cruel, cold-hearted, enchanting, haughty, and stunningly beautiful shou.

Everyone's favorite. Award-winning actor. Behind-the-scenes mastermind who controls everything. Judge. Cold-hearted and wicked. Stunningly beautiful shou.

2. Feel free to read with some dark background music.

3. An original Western fantasy setting, Infinite-style. However, the author is terrible at planting clues.
