RE: FELONY
He was an Average Joe, lamenting over the cruel erosion of time.
Humans are greedy beings. The more they have, the more they want. Despite living a comfortable life filled with joys and sorrows, he wished for more!
A twist of fate—changed his life.
Dying, only to find out a new world, a new myth, a new adventure awaiting him.
In a world where, the advent of steam and machinery rang the bell of magic, churches, cults, hexes, arcane strength, artifacts, noble power struggle, eldritch horrors, and evil lurking in the darkness, he finds himself in the body of his new self.
"I wish to fight against Time! I want to unchain myself! I desire to peer deep into myself!" He looked at the Canvas of Felony — A painting filled with filthiness, with cold calculative eyes while pressing down on his half-top hat and straightening the collars of his tuxedo.
The corner of his lips, curved into a lopsided grin.
To find what he so desires. He dawdled with the fine line between reality and fantasy — He questioned himself again and again.
He kept prying into the unknown realm of mysteries — giving birth to all that is unholy!
As the gears of fate churned, he got embroiled in the unending murky bureaucracy. But if that were all, things would've been much more manageable...
The underlying madness and horrors of power—brandished its claws—gnawing at his inner self.
Will he survive? Will he find the answers to the questions that haunt him? Will he peer deep into his spirit?
Will he unfold a utopia—a world that doesn't exist in his wake?
Or will he be crushed by responsibilities, destroyed by his enemies, and corrupted by power—losing himself in a dream of desires?

This web novel is highly plot-driven. There will be some "cultural" stuff, but it wouldn't appear all the time, after every two chapters. This is for my fellow men of culture who had been looking for a novel where there is no mindless pokemon hunting, but at the same time, has some questionable stuff with a well-thought-out plot. It has both action and "plot". If you come here by accident and are interested, then certainly read till 32 chaps(First arc) to decide whether you want to continue. The early chapters(1-25ish) are very short! (Not to mention, they are all free!)
Much love!
