CompletedWhat if gods and ghosts truly existed?
Hainoji Suoyu never thought he'd find out, but living in Yokohama with his sanity slipping away, he stumbles upon a mysterious blank book that grants him two unique abilities: spirit sight and the power to see live-streaming bullet comments (barrage). From the barrage, he learns that he’s been targeted by a malevolent entity and has only five days to find a solution before his death.
His answer? "If you can’t beat them, join them."
Thus, the enigmatic cult Utopia is born.
Through various “fairy tale” personas, Suoyu manipulates his surroundings, weaving chaos, mystery, and intrigue.
[The Capricious King]: A spoiled yet commanding little monarch casually drags a black-hearted doctor into his plans.
"Do you have a wish? If it pleases the king, I might grant it."
He unknowingly stirs up a brewing mafia war, commanding even the Port Mafia’s leaders with audacity.
[The Immortal’s Chocolate Game]: A contest to inherit a chocolate empire draws players from all walks of life.
"Welcome to my chocolate factory, but remember: I despise disobedient guests."
A dashing gentleman in crimson tails invites both intrigue and fear as participants compete for the golden ticket, unaware of the deadly stakes.
[The Lonely Jester]: On a dark street corner, a jester offers an ominous card game.
"Draw a card, child. But beware: you don’t want the Joker."
With a smile full of secrets, the jester entices the unwary toward fateful choices that echo through the world.
As Suoyu masterfully balances his growing power, the shadows behind him deepen. His audience marvels at his schemes, while his enemies struggle to unmask him. Uniting myths, folklore, and familiar faces from fictional worlds (Bungou Stray Dogs, Detective Conan, and more), Suoyu becomes a godlike figure whose every move reshapes reality.
