Puppet Deku

Zhou Dao transmigrated to a world where demons rampaged and Daoist laws ruled. His sect was in straitened circumstances, and their property was on the brink of being demolished. Desperate, Zhou Dao had his eyes fixed on the coffin of the sect’s Grandmaster and decided to do something with it. A voice rang, “D*mn! You are actually plotting to steal my skull. With your attitude, Sunset Mountain has a chance of reaching its heyday again!” On that very night, the corpse of the Grandmaster moved! Moving forward, Zhou Dao would receive rewards whenever he offered up demonic beasts as sacrifices to the Grandmaster. He offered up a 1000-year zombie as a sacrifice and received the Indestructible Body of Demon Refining. He offered up a nine-tailed demon fox as a sacrifice and received a Fox Girl Puppet. He offered up a demon turtle from the Eastern Sea as a sacrifice and received a high-power muscle massage gun. … For eons, countless Daoist members meditated on The Yellow Court Classic. For years to come, Zhou Dao harvested countless demonic beasts with no intention of burying them. Many years later, in the same Daoist temple, Zhou Dao sat at the front door as he bore witness to the joy and the sorrow of all creations. He had seen birth, illness, death, and all sorts of bizarre phenomena. He put on a crooked grin as he said, “I offer up the heavens and the earth as a sacrifice.”

Cassian has always felt that something about his past is off. Ever since the massacre of his village left him alone, a strange unease has lingered—like his memories aren’t entirely real. Then, year after year, on the same day, dreams of unfamiliar lives flood his mind. At first, he ignores them. But as the visions persist, they begin to form a pattern, one that leads him to the truth about himself. He was never just a boy. He was an experiment. A tool. A creation shaped by unseen hands, monitored from the shadows. The memories he receives are not just dreams; they are fragments of something far greater, something that was never meant to reach him. But Cassian cannot feel anger, nor sorrow. He knows what he should feel, but the emotions never come. Perhaps he has already become the weapon they intended him to be. Even so, he will not be their puppet. If all he was made for is improve destruction—then destruction is what he will bring.

"It's not just a game, it's a living breathing world and we are his puppets." Teo barked. With the beta version of the new game now finished, the beta testers wait for the official launch of the game. With the official launch of the game more people are sucked into its virtual world, what sets Neon Solaris apart from other games is it's unique party system. With only the beta testers knowing the horrors the games provide, uncertainty grows. Death in the game could also mean death in the real world.

Everything was going according to plan—until my life was turned upside down. I had just graduated from university and was ready to start my career, fulfilling both my goals and those of my parents. But then, disaster struck. —— Creation of the World—a game that grants its user the ability to control a limitless world, with the power to create and destroy anything without restriction. Cassian watched helplessly as Earth was consumed by the world he had built. Unable to intervene, he suddenly found himself in a body that wasn’t his own. Cassian Starhold—the older brother of the world’s greatest hero. —— I was content with my life as a puppet, a slave whose only purpose was to toil away, sacrificing everything for a few worthless scraps of metal. But my enemies couldn’t leave me in peace. They brought war to my doorstep and destroyed everything I had spent my life building. I stood among thousands of their strongest sons, as they listened to the man who had ignited the fire in my life. Towering and imposing, he spoke from atop majestic marble columns, his gray hair blending with the crowd. Thousands of people, all sharing his features, gazed up at him with eyes filled with admiration and ambition. “People are not equal!” he declared, his voice dripping with arrogance. “We are the pinnacle of evolution! There is nothing beyond us! We have risen above piles of inferior blood, leaving massacres in our wake. And now, you are about to inherit this legacy.” He paused, surveying the crowd below with cold pride. “But this power must be earned. It is not granted by birth. Wealth, power, status… these things demand mountains of victims just to catch a glimpse of them.” His arms stretched wide, madness and pride gleaming in his eyes, and the crowd mirrored him, thousands roaring with fervent pride. The sight was terrifying. “You have no idea what your ancestors sacrificed to put you here. But you will learn. And I swear to you, with my pride on the line…” “Only those worthy of us will survive!” "Soon, I will show you why we are called dragons!" What these so-called dragons don’t know… is that a puppet will rise to shatter their illusions. He’s wrong. None of them will survive. ====== Author's Note: As you can see from the tags, the MC will eventually become a villain, but not at the beginning—and not even within the first three arcs. I'll take the time to carefully build his character and develop his transformation in a way that feels natural and logical. His ultimate goal is to return to his original family, so he harbors a deep hatred for the world he’s been pulled into. This novel will explore darker themes like slavery, murder, mind control, and betrayal. However, it will not contain R-18 content, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you might want to reconsider. The MC won’t be OP from the start, nor the smartest, but he will quickly gain experience and grow.

In the depths of the human imagination, the unsettling possibility of an omnipotent being capable of forging worlds arises. However, instead of weaving narratives that inspire or uplift the spirit, this entity plunges into the shadows, giving life to realms where evil and lust are the threads that weave its existence. In these dark realms, sins become the very essence of the story, reflecting the deepest and most disturbing inclinations of the human soul. This god, in his sinister work, not only creates, but also steals. The souls of mortals, caught in his web of temptations, are stripped of their essence and used as mere instruments in his theatrical work. Thus, the playwright of the macabre turns humans into puppets, manipulating their destinies in a spectacle of horror and despair. Creation is transformed into a grotesque representation of the human condition, where each act is an echo of the vices that dwell in the heart of humanity.
