Since the pollution crisis erupted, Blue Star has teetered on the edge of destruction every day.
Pollutants and fallen species appear one after another; fanatics sell their souls; and eldritch gods occasionally reveal their tentacles...
In the midst of all this, An Ranguang has the honor of becoming a rookie investigator.
No talent, no mutations.
His first assignment is to play mommy to a boy. Oh, wait, no. He's supposed to watch over a shipwreck salvage operation with a ten-year-old kid.
A senior pats An Ranguang on his scrawny frame, speaking earnestly and with affection: "Kid, this assignment is simple. Just escort the artifacts to the museum."
Then An Ranguang's boat capsizes.
A Cthulhu statue, undisturbed for a century, drives the archaeologists to slaughter each other.
An Ranguang struggles to grab the statue, but before he can put it in a containment box, a vast memory spanning hundreds of millions of years pours out of it. Starlight from countless light-years away bursts forth in response.
An Ranguang learns two things:
His "parents are eldritch gods," and he's one of tens of thousands of children.
He inherited the short end of the stick. His bloodline is highly nourishing, and the Great Old Ones love snacks like him that go crunch.
An Ranguang :)
His aunt and uncle haven't done anything wrong.
They just want to eat him, after all. Takoyaki is delicious.
An Ranguang can only curl up his tentacles and work hard to become a god.

An Ranguang, an investigator with no mutations and no talent.
During a routine check, his contamination level skyrockets. The number suddenly jumps to 100, then breaks 1,000 and keeps climbing.
Every officer warily points a gun at An Ranguang's head, ready in case he suddenly attacks. They say sympathetically, "Well, you survived the museum attack, but not the contamination. Don't worry, we'll find a nice, auspicious place to bury you soon."
An Ranguang: ...
Invisible shadows writhe. An Ranguang quietly raises seven of his eight tentacles.
Now the numbers are normal.
He's still an ordinary person.
Gla'aki: Have you ever seen an ordinary person chase down and chew on a Great Old One?
Nekya: You're the one who raided my granary, aren't you?
Cthulhu: And you're the one who made off with my R'lyeh, aren't you?
Fanatics: This offering bites! Aaaaaah!
An Ranguang: I have no idea what you're talking about.
