I'm Really Just Doing the Main Quest

[Spiritual qi revival + infinite flow + multiple secret identities and a mastermind behind the scenes + slight Lovecraftian elements]

After spiritual qi revival, disasters are everywhere and countless lives have been lost. The last survivors are also dragged into one dangerous game after another. Winners can gain the ability to fight the eerie.

To improve their chances of survival, they team up, create forums, and share their experience and intelligence about various game instances.

One day, several top-ranked powerhouses suddenly appeared. To the bewilderment of all the players, they all liked the same new post.

Countless people clicked on it, only to find a single, brief question inside:

"Who is Wilert Moriarty?"

*

Ji Xun is a scenario designer for the full-dive game Rebirth of the Abnormal.

Ever since its announcement, the game has been flooded with preorders. Now it is undergoing its final round of testing and revisions.

To test how freely players could shape their characters, he created several alternate accounts, each with a carefully crafted backstory and character settings:

The fanatical "heretic," obsessed with the undead and evil gods; the genius "painter," who blinded himself to save someone; the heterochromic "psychiatrist," kept alive by a mechanical heart...

With the plot memorized inside and out, he sped through the main story and conquered the side stories, playing all the eerie beings and NPCs like puppets in his hands.

But he never expected that the actions of these secret identities would spark a strange rumor among the survivors:

If you're lucky enough, when you're on the brink of death and despair, you may witness the descent of a god.

Just pay a tiny, insignificant price, and you can escape certain doom.

"They are Observers."

"Powerful, fearless, and even able to see the future. They exist beyond the countless calamities and the chains of cause and effect. No conspiracy can escape their notice."

"They are everywhere, and they can do anything."

Ji Xun: ...I'm just doing the main story quest.

As the story progressed, more and more people began investigating the origins of the Observers.

Whenever that happened, they always said the same thing:

"Gods?"

"No, no, you've got it wrong. At most, we're humble believers. Everything we do follows the will of that great man, our founder, Wilert Moriarty."

It was probably an occupational hazard.

To make the storylines featuring his many secret identities seem plausible, Ji Xun, the writer, had invented a fictional god for the people of the game world.

Then, the next day, he opened his eyes.

Ji Xun had suddenly transmigrated with his Level 0 account, the name "Wilert Moriarty" floating above his head.

[How to Read This Story]

1. A wish-fulfillment story with a universally adored protagonist. He keeps up the act from start to finish and is never exposed. After transmigrating, he can use all his previous secret identities at once. There are some ensemble-cast elements.

2. The male lead really is Level 0, especially in combat, and is a good-for-nothing at everyday life, relying entirely on his secret identities to take care of him.

3. The main story probably has no pairing, but the male lead has many one-sided admirers, and there may also be flirtatious interactions between him and his secret identities, so expect plenty of BL vibes.
