archie sonic the hedgehog

***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.
