Starting with a Pen, I Can End the Bizarre World

"When did you first start thinking about killing someone?"

Xia You sat in the interrogation room, his handcuffs cutting into his wrists until they turned purple. The evidence was conclusive, no lawyer dared take his case, and everyone thought he was finished.

But he knew he hadn't killed anyone.

The pen that had haunted him ever since the day he awakened was now growing faintly warm in his pocket.

In the shadows, the Darkborn were transforming people, the Renewal Society was carrying out its own plans, and the Investigation Bureau had secrets of its own.

Some offered him a core. Some wanted him dead. Some told him, "One day, you'll stand with me."

His answer was just one sentence: "That's for me to decide."

"I'm Xia You. I used to be just an ordinary student."

"But I have traversed the passages to the dungeons, and I can bring the uncanny world to an end."
