Becoming Humanity's Faith

I once heard that the demon who lived at Rashomon fled because he feared the cruelty of human nature., Ryunosuke Akutagawa, "Rashomon"

Heaven and earth are not benevolent; they treat all things like straw dogs.

This is a world rife with injustice, where monsters run rampant. Countless people reach into the abyss, begging for salvation from an omniscient and omnipotent evil god. They say that when despair reaches its peak, the evil god will hear your prayers. Offer your loyalty and soul, and He will grant your wish.

But many years passed, and their prayers were never answered.

Until one day, a pair of blood-red eyes opened in the ink-black night, and a god reached out from the darkness to take their hands.

Lin Jiu is an ordinary(?) corporate drone who does simple, safe record-keeping work for the Monster Containment Foundation.

Then one day, he witnessed a brutal murder with his own eyes. In his nightmares, he saw an evil god glance back at him. From then on, his left eye turned blood red, and he gained the ability to look down upon the entire planet. Most importantly, he could hear the pleas of the despairing, and he answered them.

Later, countless believers raised Lin Jiu to the altar once more. Endless followers knelt and bowed before him, believing that offering their lives to Lin Jiu was the highest honor.

Only then did Lin Jiu realize that he had seen this scene of countless people worshipping him more than a thousand years ago.

He thought fate had chosen him. In truth, even fate was merely a game board in his hands.
