Objects from beyond the Earth have fallen; eyes of crimson see through the cosmos. All the stars in the sky are enemies of humanity. They call me a false god, but only I fly above. The world is sick, gravely so. I will heal it.

There is a tale that says, “The grim reaper was dying slowly. He destroyed himself by transferring his power to mere mortals. These mortals became known as mortal reapers….” That’s the official story. Here’s the truth. The Grim Reaper was murdered. His killer, the Soul Devourer, now lives in Ren’s head. After a tragic end as a self-made billionaire, Ren is reborn as Prince Ren Vaelthorn, a mortal reaper meant to carry deliver souls into the river on reincarnation. There’s just one problem: he shares his body with the entity that wants to destroy existence. The chains on his arms serve as a leash, his royal title makes him a target, and the "immortality" of a reaper feels like a bad joke when every other reaper could become a predator. With a kingdom that hates him, a family that fears him, and a god that plays with his every move, Ren must use his two remaining gifts—his sharp business sense and his extra sensory perception—to play both sides against one another. His goal is no longer just to survive; he wants to conquer. He aims to turn the hunter into the hunted, and the pawn into the player. Even if the final piece he has to sacrifice is his own humanity.

In the fog-shrouded city of Cviel, crime is more than a matter of blood, motive, or weapon—it is a reflection of the mind. A lone detective, Elias Varrow, roams empty streets under the glow of dying lampposts, haunted by the corpses he examines and the thoughts he cannot escape. Cigarette in hand, trench coat soaked in rain and regret, Elias takes on cases no one else in Cviel dares to touch. Recently, something has changed. Crime scenes are no longer marked by human brutality alone. Victims are found smiling with broken jaws, speaking after death with their voices replaced by eerie whispers, and writing messages with their eyes gouged open. Rumor spreads of a supernatural entity the criminals call “The Lantern Man”, a shadow that appears wherever the lamplight flickers. Every time Elias stands beneath a lamppost, he swears he sees someone else standing there with him.

Hers was to win him. And somewhere in between, everything changed. What was supposed to be fun became chaos, twisting Sara’s already fragile life into a disaster she never saw coming. Yet, when everything crumbles, she clings to the only thing that keeps her alive, her secret blessing. Her heartbeat. Her reason to keep going.

No --------------------------- "There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery." — Dante Alighieri This is a quote that dictates my life perfectly. Ever since I was a young boy, I enjoyed playing games, so much so that I carried that passion even into my sophomore years, all the way to my death. My story in life isn't all that tragic compared to the more unfortunate out there. I am your typical game creator. I made indie games and visual novels for a living. Naturally, being out of passion and an unknown solo developer, I tried my best to get my work out there, working additional jobs, doing side hustles, both online and locally, all just to survive, and all just to sponsor my work. However, in a world where competition is vast in the game industry, everything I make only ends up at the bottom rank. Because of this, I never gave up, but as I went into my thirties, this passion of mine separated me from my family. These days they don't even talk to me anymore. Depressed, alone, and on the verge of a mental breakdown, I lost all hope, and it didn't help that I had two months of rent due and bills that needed to be paid. But all that changed one night when I got a mysterious message that suddenly appeared on my laptop screen: "You who despair! Would you like a second chance at life? If yes click and offer up your life worth's negativity to me, if no forget this message completely!?" At that time, I clicked Yes by accident. But as the message said, I died due to a heart attack and reincarnated into the World of Purgatory. This was the greatest mistake of my life, as it changed it forever. However in this world I came with the power called the Administrator — a power I gained as a newborn Negative Spirit. With this power I exist as an Entity of Dreams, but even without a physical body, I was determined to make my wish come true: to be a game creator. But unlike other devs, my dreams are different. I can create scenarios in the dreams of men, forcing them to play my game. If they win, they walk out of here as an Awakened Spirit Warrior; however, if I win, the abilities they would have gained in my trials go to me. In this game of mine, anything could be wagered. In reality I have nothing to lose as the Administrator. But to the players, what they wager could be a matter of life or death.
