The Age of Curses

(Western fantasy) (No female lead) The ruined world is scarred beyond recognition. The sky is no longer the classic deep blue, but is instead swallowed by pitch-black voids. To survive, humanity deceives itself, kills its own, and is toyed with by alien beings. That is the world as Li Ming sees it. He is an atheist, yet he transmigrates to a world ruled by gods. The gods bestow blessings, choose their followers, and engage in what they call a game of wits among themselves. To him, it is all a joke. After all, how can a blessing be anything but a curse?
