Other "higher-level" characters might take highlight at the beginning, but this is to setup the current world and stakes for the MC. So I hope you'll be patient a little bit T_T. The "higher-level" characters might not appear again for a long time after the first arc. After that, we'll now truly focus on the MC.

I'm super proud of it :D ~~~~~~~~~~ Schedule: 3 chapters/day (might change in the future cuz i'll be busy with college lol)

***WARNING: The MC is ridiculously overpowered.** ••••• In a world filled with benevolent heroes and saviors, Gideon Brangwen stands apart as a master con artist, adept at manipulating people without a trace of fear, love, empathy, or compassion in his heart. To him, emotions are tools for achieving his desires, and words are mere instruments of manipulation. But Gideon's life takes an unexpected turn when a malevolent goddess intervenes, catapulting him into a perilous game orchestrated by the gods. He becomes the avatar of the goddess of darkness among ten avatars vying for godhood in the realm of Eteria. In a stroke of unfortunate luck, Gideon is reincarnated as a seemingly powerless hedgehog, which proves to be only a temporary inconvenience. He receives a potent gift known as [NIGHT FORM], a skill that could transform him into a nightmarish entity of unparalleled terror after dusk. With his cunning and newfound power, Gideon ascends on a path to godhood, crushing anyone who dares to obstruct his rise and manipulating all as mere pawns. His ambition knows no bounds as he seeks to establish the most formidable nation Eteria has ever witnessed. Beware, for Gideon's facade is but an illusion, a ruse to subjugate everyone to his will. In this world of heroes, a formidable villain emerges, and Gideon's grand conquest commences. •••• Frequently Asked Questions: Warning: Spoilers ahead. Is this Harem? Yes. Is this Smut? No. Will the MC gain a human form? Yes, he will. How and why? Please read the story to find out. Is the villain MC that 'evil,' or evil with a capital 'E'? Yes. On a scale of 1 to 10, how dark is the story? I don't know, what number would you give for straight-up cold-blooded manipulation and genocide? This is a kingdom-building novel, so expect progression and plot related to kingdom building. No NTR: The MC's women will only be his own, and the MC will never attempt to be with a woman who already belongs to someone else. I don't judge; I enjoy reading those too, but not in this book. No Yuri: None of the MC's women will engage in relationships with each other.

In the rain-soaked streets of Brackensport, the dead do not rest. Beneath the city’s cobblestones runs a labyrinth of tunnels older than the port itself — tunnels whispered to be the work of a forgotten order, sealed away after the last great plague. Adrian Blackthorn, a war-scarred investigator, has seen enough horrors to make him numb… until now. When a string of murders begins, each victim found with their shadow burned away, the trail leads Adrian to the legend of The Veiled Widow — a ghostly figure who appears before death claims her chosen. Drawn deeper into the city’s underbelly, Adrian finds himself entangled with women who are as dangerous as they are beautiful — a tavern singer with a voice like smoke and sin, an aristocratic widow whose touch makes him forget the cold, and the Veiled Widow herself, whose whispers promise both salvation and damnation. Each encounter pulls Adrian closer to the truth — and the truth is far worse than the stories. The city’s rot runs deeper than murder. Beneath the cobblestones, something ancient stirs, hungry for the living… and it wants Adrian’s soul. In a race against time, lust, and his own demons, Adrian must decide whether to save Brackensport, or burn it with all its sins.
