Synopsis
"The veil of sanity is a lie we tell ourselves when we gaze at the night sky, hoping, in a stifled corner of our mind, that the stars aren't gazing back."
—
A nameless, insignificant, yet ambitious young man once attempted to rescue his family from poverty. But as he found hope, he also stumbled upon despair. After losing everything to the darkness of death, including himself, he woke up in another world, stuck in the body of an eleven-year-old boy with a peculiar appearance.
He soon discovered that he was a Celestial Offering—a holy sacrifice, carefully groomed by the Temple of Stars to be given to the Gods Beyond.
His fate had already been sealed, for his blood would spill under the seven-pointed star and consecrate the birth of a new era for his nation.
Armed with nothing but his wit and the trail of good fortune, he would attempt to challenge this destiny, braving the countless hurdles that lay in waiting and the unfathomable horrors they harbored.
In a realm of magecraft, occult rituals, madness, and prowling Eidolons, he could only count on himself to survive, as the threat of insanity loomed over everyone equally, and nothing could slow its ineluctable embrace.

TLDR: Read the book! It’s Amazing! The quality of of this novel is top notch. The main character is smart and makes decisions based on reason and logic which make his wins feel earned and losses don’t seem to come from no where. The other characters actually feel fleshed out and have motivations that don’t only revolve around the MC. It is common to see novels especially on Webnovel have their author dumb down every character their MC interacts with in order to make them feel smarter. That is not the case with this novel. Any one of the many interesting side characters feel as though they could have been an MC in their own right. The world building is already amazing and the MC hasn’t even left his original starting county yet. The author has been clever with their use of different ideologies being more prevalent in different places which makes what country your from actually matter. Usually in these novels there’s just a bunch of random ones and a “Forbidden” mysterious country but here there is actual depth to the backgrounds. The fight scenes have all been well written and have shown qualities of different characters shining even in the fights and the author seems to understand the art of showing and not telling. Overall this is a hidden gem. I’m glad to have been one of this novels first readers and wish it the success it deserves for being such good quality.
All I can say is Peak!!!! the Lovecraftian elements pulled me in, the grammar and overall writing made me stay and now, the world building and lore keeps me begging for more chaps. only 7 chapters in and I'm glad I gave this work a chance. please author, don't drop this. this work has the potential for greatness. ✨
62 ch 5 stars~! First of all, stability of updates. 2ch per day. No comments. Second of all, writing quality. It`s fine. ˙ᵕ˙ Splendorous world background. I already like it. Seemingly inspired by LOTM but quite original. Good character design. Story development. Fine... but... maybe too long? For example, Nysa's parts show the story from a different perspective. It`s good but just too long. I am not really interested in her pov, so (in my opinion) the length needs to be reduced a bit. (づ ᴗ _ᴗ)づ♡ And... the pace of the story needs more speed. Also, we have more chapters about others characters than the protagonist, which is not very good. The protagonist seems kind of smart. But he is a bit too emotional/impulsive sometimes? Also, I'm not a weirdo who wants the main character to be a chaotic evil murder hobo, however I don't like irrational characters. If, let's say, there was a ritual requiring some innocent people to be tortured for secret knowledge. And the protagonist wouldn't use it because he "has standards". I will be a little... disappointed. (╥﹏╥) However, despite everything, this story deserves 5 stars. ♡⸜(˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝
Great book, one my tiny brain can't really describe....Do just let my rating tell you everything!
So good, I love how greatly detailed the world building is. Furthermore, the portrayal of multiple character perspectives throughout the storyline is so fun to read. It’s unique and I have not read many webnovels that do this and show different characters’ side of the story and not just the main character’s.
I read 80 chapters in one go...really amazing..at first I was struggling with the naming of the characters and cities lol but soon I got hooked in the thrill of the story that keeps you on edge..the world seems very dark with alot of mysteries and you can't help but wonder how things work..the power system is not amazing and unpredictable but you can understand it as you keep reading..I thank the author for his creativity and for making the me experience the story as om part of it which is very rare to find here..So 5 stars deserved for this hidden gem..A highly recommended masterpiece..read and you won't regret
I'm about 10 chapters in and i have to say i love this novel already. from the second chapter I loved the atmosphere that the author was creating in a similar vein to lotm by introducing an elder horror of some kind. no grammar or spelling mistakes either which is a godsend since that's what brings most of the new novels here down many points for me. can't wait to fully catch up cause i can feel this will be a future hit!
Due to my previously bad experiences with Webnovel reviews, I was hesitant getting into this one where everyone was praising it, but wow, this novel deserves every bit of that praise. The worldbuilding is amazing, power system took a bit of reference from LOTM but still remains very original, and the plot hints at very interesting developments to come. Great job so far author and I hope you can keep it up till this becomes a big thing on Webnovel. Your work is too good to be less popular than some of the garbage on this app.
It's a very good book the only thing that I would like is that it updates more often.
A very well fleshed out novel, writing quality is excellent, zero to no misspellings, very good worldbuilding
I loved LORD OF THE MYSTERIES and never found a novel better or on par, BUT NOW I HAVE❤️❤️❤️❤️I LOVEEEEE ITTTT I’ only 100 chaps in rn but this has kept me on my heels all the way, goof job sir
Simply an amaizing work of art.Reminds me of shadow slave and thats a hard thing to do.
I've read countless stories in this app but few kept me this hooked. It is amazing , the world building althought boring it makes everything make sense after reading ,and every paragraph made me imagine dreadful images, in my head that creeped me for a while. Nice work!
Top notch novel! Really well written. The world is well build and character are not unidimensional. There are for the moment just 120 chapters and I can’t wait for the next chapter! So this a dark fantasy novel with some inspiration in Lord of the mysteries but have his own style. It feel more like a weastern novel than a webnovel. I hope you ll enjoy as much as I enjoyed! Thanks you author!
i’ve read up to about chapter 90 and it’s been a great read so far i highly recommend it.
It's really good but the MC is just way too much of a narcissistic trash. In reality the only reason he isn't dead yet is because of plot armour like being so rude and disrespectful to beings way above your power level is a death sentence in any other book. And he also thinks he's some sort of god when he can be crushed at anytime like a bug. Other than the MC the story is good but if the MC continues like this I'm afraid that this book will become a waste.
Mandatory 5-star self-review. I'm confident in the quality of my writing and guarantee you its consistency throughout the book. If you like grim worlds with a dark fantasy feel, unfathomable Lovecraftian horrors, and the threat of madness at every corner, this is the story for you. As I have noted, the beginning will be slow but not uninteresting. The protagonist is highly intelligent, manipulative, and cunning but not overly ruthless nor a murder hobo. His first taste of power will come relatively late, but it will be sweet, and worth it after all the hurdles he will have faced. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Also, don't forget to vote and leave a review. It greatly motivates me to continue writing!
