Doomsday savior gong x wily deity shou
On the romance and rivalry between a savior and Them
Gu Jing, the strongest 3S-rank esper, accidentally wandered into a bizarre world.
Here, everything was lavish and grand, with music and dancing everywhere.
Guided by fate, he was forced to become one tragic NPC after another in the stages of an infinite game.
Raised by a deity, he sometimes became a pale, gloomy youth, sometimes a deep-sea tentacle lurking beneath calm waters and terrorizing a luxury liner, and sometimes a top vampire hunter who fell in love with a vampire...
But one thing never changed: thanks to the deity's perverse sense of humor, the characters he played were always absurdly weak. Only by finding the hidden deity in each stage and killing Them without mercy could he change the fate set out for him.

Stage One: Playing a mysterious deep-sea tentacle NPC
From the start, he nearly got killed by the cruise ship's propeller. The players even mocked him as a group, saying they'd never seen a stage boss so weak.
Gu Jing: "...? Just you wait and see."
Years of hunting experience helped him quickly grow into a colossal beast of the deep. He pinpointed the youth in the crowd who had been secretly watching him all along, his eyes feverish and unsettling, and decisively brought the game to an end.
Of course, Gu Jing didn't spare a single player who had mocked him, either.

Just before he died, the youth spoke in a trembling voice, hoping to find a glimmer of survival:
But I love you.
Gu Jing raised an eyebrow as a tentacle curled around the youth's neck.
I love myself too, thanks.

Stage Two: Playing a top vampire hunter NPC
The moment he opened his eyes, he nearly died at the hands of his trusted aide. The players who had been reborn as vampires all bet that he wouldn't live past tomorrow.
Gu Jing: "...Who's more devious than you lot?"
The psychic abilities he had mastered in the apocalypse let him quickly turn every traitor in the Blood Hunter Guild to his side. He rallied a mighty anti-vampire force and wiped out the entire vampire race.

The only vampire prince left alive was barely clinging to life. With tears in his eyes, he clutched his chest and wailed:
Do you even have a heart?
Gu Jing smiled as he plunged a knife into the prince's chest.
I don't know if I have a heart, but you definitely don't anymore.
One second, "fine." The next, "mine."
