I Was Willing to Be Deceived

They are an evil god created as part of a horror novel's setting.

Their role is to be defeated by the protagonist in the end.

But they refuse to accept this fate and resolve to break free from the game. To do that, they must earn enough points.

In that case...

They decide to choose a player and make them their slave.

As they watch, one player's figure catches their eye.

The other player has plenty of potential, but always stands off to the side.

When talking to people, they cannot even meet their eyes.

No one else ever asks them for advice, either.

They must be a social outcast, the evil god thinks contemptuously.

What a coward. What a pitiful creature.

So the evil god appears in his room and looks down at him. "From now on, I will protect you. In exchange, you will help me earn points. Understand, human? Otherwise, I'll make sure you die without a place to be buried."

To their satisfaction, the other person immediately trembles and answers timidly, "Okay..."

*

Someone is secretly over the moon.

No one knows that he fell in love with the evil god at first sight.

Love has made him lose interest in bloodshed and brutality.

Just as he was struggling to figure out how to approach them, the other party showed up and asked to possess him.

My next novel, Humanity's One and Only Savior, is open for advance reservations. Take a look if you're interested!

After a torrential rain, man-eating monsters appeared.

They parasitize human brains in the form of insects, mingle among the citizens, and refer to humanity as "edible livestock."

Lin Moyu has had both good and bad luck.

The bad news is that he was infected after a car accident.

The good news is that he retained his own consciousness and is coexisting with the insect.

The worse news is that the Health Department is already at his door.

The insect chatters away inside his mind, helpless and distressed: [All the citizens know the signs of someone who's been infected, except you, so you'll be exposed easily. If we want to survive, we'll have to figure things out together. At least you have some of the monsters' abilities, so you won't have to keep running around in a sorry state...]

Should he run away?

Facing the officials who have come to his door, countless scenes from similar novels flash through Lin Moyu's mind. He doesn't move a step and calmly lies, saying:

"What should I do? I think I've awakened a special ability."

In this world, there are no people with supernatural abilities.

Nor can any kind of mutation occur.

Humans can only use meager physical means to kill the monsters, risking their lives in the process. There is no other way.

And Lin Moyu lives by one principle: When you're out in the world, you choose your own identity and earn your own connections.

At this point...

He will tell a gigantic lie and become the only person in this world who is

[The Human Savior with Supernatural Abilities].

*A feel-good power fantasy, set in a high-risk world with no supernatural abilities, only monsters.
