Blurb:
Yu Wan is an unconventional omega.
He doesn't like flower arranging, desserts, or etiquette, and he hates the prospect of spending his life as a virtuous wife and loving mother, traded around like property.
So he decided to fight back.
He successfully escaped his arranged marriage, then died.

[Ding-dong! Welcome to Utopia!]
[The great god has saved you and granted you eternal life!]
That's what a thing called the System told him.
As the price, Yu Wan must pray, hope, and wait for the gods to show him favor in a bloody cycle of games.
On his "pilgrimage" to the gods, monsters lurk in the dark, while struggle, slaughter, and despair take turns playing out.
[In the game, you need an identity to keep the world's natives from discovering you.]
[You're incredibly lucky!] The System's prize wheel produced some cheap, fake fireworks.
[Congratulations! You have received the permanent character card "Corrupted Black Goat."
You may call it the Mother of Monsters.
Or, more commonly, Mom.]

[Permanent Character Card: Identity Information]
Dear Player Yu Wan,
Welcome to Utopia.
Your identity is: [Corrupted Black Goat (Permanent)]
You are Its incubator, Its executioner, Its bearer. You are the supreme mother goddess of monsters, the dark and bountiful mother who gives birth to countless offspring.
O corrupted mother, your life is nearing its end. Please enter the game at once and find a father for your children. Sink deep into their flesh and take root. They can be It, or "It." They are your nourishment, and your food.
"Your offspring await you. You will encounter:
[The Two-Faced Infant]
[The painted-skin skeleton that met a wrongful death in a gloomy attic]
[The snowfield ghost lost in a blizzard-bound mountain lodge]
[The butterfly-obsessed serial killer flitting through the city's corners]
[The shadow demon in the ancient village that feeds on malice]
[The heretical priest condemned by divine punishment within the monastery]
You will do anything to reproduce It, bear It, nurse It, sow It, and forget It...
You will feed It with everything you have...
You will devour It with your womb...
So, we look forward to your arrival...
Our mother."
Before boarding, please note:
1. This is not an anthology. Ship the various offspring however you like. The ending is open.
2. It has little to do with Cthulhu. It only borrows the idea of the Black Goat as the mother of all things.
3. This is a nontraditional infinite-flow story written for my own amusement. It doesn't have much puzzle-solving or horror foreshadowing. It's mostly about interactions between beautiful male moms and their nonhuman children. The writing isn't very good, either, so it's best read without overthinking.
4. The protagonist is neither omnipotent nor perfect. Please don't blame him. Blame me.
Theme: Though you dwell in the abyss, your heart turns toward the light.
