The Emperor of Ten Thousand Faces

When his life hung by a thread, agent Yan Shixu of the present day had his soul thrust into a parallel world, where he possessed the dying body of "Chessmaster," the ace of the Red Nation's Bureau 505.

In this desperate situation, he awakened a unique talent: [Master of Disguise]. He could shape countless identities at will: politician, strategist, commoner, assassin. No one could tell truth from falsehood.

The power of an entire nation was entangled with him, assassins from multiple countries hunted him, and secret organizations schemed against him at every turn. Everyone wanted to control the greatest spy alive and use him as a pawn.

But Yan Shixu was tired.

All he wanted was to shed every disguise, leave the world behind, and retire in peace.

But every passage between worlds was monopolized by the supreme power known as the Divine Communion.

To find a way to withdraw from the world, he pretended to join the game, married into a family, unlocked the power of infinite rebirth, and ventured alone through countless otherworldly instances.

Others braved the myriad heavens in search of fortune. He went undercover across the myriad heavens, gambling on the fate of the world.

Across ten thousand miles of empire, an empress offered her kingdom as a bride-price and stood by him with fierce devotion. Among an ancient clan a thousand years old, an unparalleled noblewoman offered him her wholehearted support, each vying to entrust her life to him.

The harder he tried to escape the game, the deeper he sank into the vortex of countless worlds.

From a discarded pawn in the mortal world to the player moving pieces behind countless faces.

Wearing a thousand layers of masks, he personally shattered the chessboard spanning the heavens and became a supreme being across countless worlds: the Emperor of a Thousand Faces.
