OωO!] Blurb: In this high-risk world teeming with evil gods and aberrant creatures, Yuan Luan is a timid orphan with no connections. Things have gone disastrously wrong for him from the start. After finally reaching adulthood and landing a job at the relatively safe S City Extermination Bureau, he is unlucky enough to catch the eye of a well-connected superior, who plans to send him undercover into the largest heretical cult. In name, it's an undercover mission. In reality, it's a death sentence. Just as he is anxiously considering quitting, a subordinate of the man supposedly his biological father shows up and says they're here to take him home. They also enthusiastically inform him that, as the man's only child, Yuan Luan will inherit everything he owns, and that the Extermination Bureau is nothing in comparison. Though he doesn't dare get his hopes up, Yuan Luan cautiously asks, "So, my father is...?" "Of course, he is the undisputed sovereign across multiple histories, the end of all things, the symbol of eternal doom, the Sleeper who waits behind the Gate, our great ████!" ...What? Wait, isn't that the Extermination Bureau's ultimate target, the enemy of humanity whom textbooks emphasize, the bloodthirsty, ruthless, capricious tyrant who ruled humanity for tens of thousands of years in the Third History?

When Extermination Bureau branches across the country come under a coordinated attack by aberrant creatures, Yuan Luan happens to be in J City, which is on the verge of falling: Headquarters is surprised to discover that among all the attacked areas, J City is the only one with no reported deaths. A video of Yuan Luan fighting desperately, with mountains of aberrant corpses behind him, accidentally leaks. It becomes a hot topic online, and branches hoping to recruit him flood the J City office with calls. A passerby cries through an interview: "When everyone had lost hope, he stepped forward. He's a true hero!" Yuan Luan, who'd just been passing by innocently before getting trapped between aberrant creatures on both sides, then panicked and grabbed a chainsaw, chopping every creature blocking his way into mincemeat: ? At last, finally awakens from its slumber. Its thousand eyes shine like stars as its scarlet pupils look down at Yuan Luan with cold indifference: Yuan Luan closes his eyes in despair, certain his time has come. hums.
