Stranger in Ashes

The gods are dead, but obsession remains. Thousands of years ago, seven true gods fought in the sky, their blood spilled on the earth, and their corpses fell into the mortal world. The gods died, but their remaining power turned into "god corpses" and scattered around the world. Those who inherit the remains of gods will gain the power of gods, and will also be gradually eroded by the obsession of gods, and eventually become inhuman monsters. Ian is a terminally ill patient on Earth. When he was dying, he signed a contract with the "Second Life" project, and his consciousness was projected into this dying mythical world. He wakes up deep in the mines of the Ash Plains, regaining health but penniless and without a friend. In order to survive, he was forced to become a bottom-level miner, struggling among high temperatures, dust and underground monsters. Until he found the first fragment of the divine skeleton. The obsession to "conquer" from the God of War gave him strength and allowed him to begin to hear the most dangerous desires deep in his heart. What was even more fatal was that he found that he could take on the second obsession. He is the only "double obsessive" in the world. When the five major camps compete for him, when the whispers of God erode his will day and night, and when the eighth existence - "The Devourer" awakens from the seal, Ian must answer a question that all successors cannot avoid: With the power of God, can we still guard people's hearts? This is an epic journey that begins deep in the mines and ends in the graveyard of the gods. It is also a story about a dying man who was thrown into hell and then punched out a way to survive.
