Eldritch Containment Unit
In a world plagued by the encroaching horrors of the "Other Side," Elias Thorne awakens to a terrifying reality: he's been reincarnated*into the very game he dedicated his life to, "ECU,"a dark fantasy RPG where cosmic entities bleed into reality through pollution—especially negative emotions. Humanity fights back, with specialized Eldritch Hunters gaining supernatural powers by processing and absorbing black crystals from defeated Eldritch entities.
Elias, however, possesses a cheat: a sentient, invincible mouth on his right palm that allows him to devour Eldritch entities whole and raw, bypassing the need for crystals and processing. This grants him direct, often volatile, access to their power, making him an anomaly even among the powerful Eldritch Containment Unit (ECU) the mysterious global organization formed by five legendary Eldritch Hunters, sought after by governments and ancient families for their forbidden arts and sealed treasures.
As Elias navigates this perilous world, mastering his hidden ability, he finds himself thrust into the shadows of a global war. While the public remains blissfully unaware, secret government agencies, noble Eldritch Hunter families, and the enigmatic ECU fight to contain the escalating Eldritch incursions. But a far greater threat looms: malevolent cults conspire to expose the truth to humanity, seeking to shatter the fragile veil between worlds and usher in the terrifying descent of a High-Ranking Eldritch Lord. Elias's unique power, a blend of blessing and curse, will be humanity's most unconventional weapon in a battle for existence, forcing him to confront not only cosmic horrors but also the moral implications of his monstrous gift in a world teetering on the brink of cosmic revelation.
