With only three days left to live, Chen Zai started seeing things.
Out of nowhere, he received an invitation from an unknown game company.
As the sole player, all he had to do was gather enough human faith, and he would become the one and only god of this world.
Step one:
[Choose your agent.]
"First, let's turn the tide," Chen Zai said with an arrogant chuckle.
"Relics of the old century belong in the dust."
A higher-dimensional invasion warped the world, drawing humanity into a struggle against alien species. Humanity was utterly defeated.
The supreme leader despairingly announced to the survivors, "Humanity is extinct."
Until...
They began to hear the young man's cool, indifferent voice.
"From this day on, everything will change."
No one knew who the young man was.
The dying howls of alien creatures were nailed to the tip of the Goddess of Justice's spear, high above the courtroom. He was humanity's guardian deity, the false savior of a hypocritical utopia.
Fervent believers built temples in his honor. Those with ulterior motives tried to uncover his weaknesses. The powerful and wealthy searched for traces of him, partly wary and partly afraid.
Humanity praised the young man's glory, and the world bowed before him and crowned him.
He said:
"I am fate itself."
Chen Zai treated the entire world as a game: creating secret identities, founding organizations, and changing the world's course...
And so, the mysterious descended.
He had thought the game would end when he faked his death and disappeared. But one day, Chen Zai discovered that the characters he had chosen had appeared in this world, becoming revered powerhouses admired by all of humanity.
Countless dignitaries dreamed of winning their favor, but all they said was:
"I have already pledged myself to my Lord."
And now, a new aberration had begun.
Chen Zai: "Huh."
Things were getting interesting.

Many people at the Special Services Bureau knew that Captain Shen Hui had a beloved tucked away in his heart.
After a fierce battle, he would always kiss the faded, yellowing photograph, and the violence within him would suddenly subside.
No one knew that Shen Hui had once been an experimental subject created to combat aberrations. Day after day, he had been altered, giving his life for humanity.
But no one ever felt sorry for him.
Then, amid the mottled neon lights, Chen Zai returned his smile.
