Painter Behind The Curtain

Chen Lun transmigrated to the year before the game's public beta, becoming an NPC in the game world. Thus, a new version was born...

Chen Lun said, "Players grind monsters, I grind players, it makes perfect sense..." ...

Tales of the heroes are told by everyone, but nobody knows one behind the scenes, making the story happen. I'm okay with that.

I'm no hero or villain, I am simply one who makes the story happen.

Since ancient times, there has been a lingering question: is humanity inherently evil, or is it society that corrupts it? In this story, we follow Morgan, a young man known for his kindness and good heart, who deeply loves animals. However, he dies suddenly from an illness. It is then that he encounters a god of death, ready to devour his soul and merge it with the universe. But another god intervenes to offer him help, aiming to prove a point on which the god of death disagrees. The two gods make a wager: whether the young man will retain his pure essence or be consumed by the cruel and merciless world in which he will reincarnate—a world where humanity is on the brink of extinction. However, there’s a small twist: the god of death reincarnates him as an axolotl, while the other god grants him a gift. Will Morgan remain true to his ideals, or will he succumb to a corrupt and decaying society?

As Dev navigates this new reality, he uncovers dark secrets and horrifying truths that lie beneath its surface. Each revelation brings him closer to understanding his role in a fate that could reshape reality itself. Expectations: - Slow Burn story - A protagonist's compelling growth from vulnerability to strength - A vast, intricately crafted world with deep lore - An innovative power system that encourages reader speculation - Romance - Secretive organizations with hidden in shadows - A blend of mystery and horror elements - Powerful emotional moments I started writing this because I wanted to create a world and a power system that captures the awe of the supernatural in a way that transcends human comprehension. Much like how, in our own universe, we may never uncover all its mysteries, I wanted to tell a story that inspires countless theories—none of which offer a definitive answer to the truth. That idea grew and evolved into The Eye Behind Mist. If you decide to join me on this journey, thank you! I’m having a lot of fun creating this, and I hope you’ll enjoy it just as much. ***Warning: This is a work of fiction intended for mature audiences.
